If you can’t safely take the Cybertruck to a car wash, I wonder how it will fare as a boat?

And the entire fundamental design concept to be reliant on mass orbital fuel transfer, which has never been done, and will require a hell of a lot more development than drawings on napkins and CG renders… that’s Elon’s idea.
How many rockets has BlueOrigin lost?
Elon spent decades telling people he is an engineer.
When he roleplays as one, billions of dollars go up in smoke.
Uh, no.
