A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. The best ones are thoughts that many people can relate to and they find something funny or interesting in regular stuff.

Rules

  1. All posts must be showerthoughts
  2. The entire showerthought must be in the title
  3. Avoid politics (NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out)
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct

I have seen 2 vinyl wrapped cybertrucks while driving around Los Angeles, so I know it’s being done.

They honestly look better painted/wrapped. I'm becoming more and more certain Elon went with stainless steel just to trick people into buying an unpainted car.

Probably a bulk discount with the rocket materials supplier too.

Aluminum sheets that didn't quite make the aircraft grade cut.

Actually 100% both of these. He stated it was a design goal early on and why its got so many straight edges is because the material did not do well with complex forming.

Just the standard Trump 2024, or tied-up Biden/Harris on the tailgate?

The ones I saw were a single color, one of them was all black vinyl.
