The Cybertruck DESIGN FAIL No One Is Talking About
As a Tesla enthusiast and someone who has started using a roof top tent for overlanding and family camping I have quite a lot to say about the $3000 Tesla CyberTent. But what's interesting is the reason it exists is because of a staggeringly serious flaw in the Cybertruck design that no one seems to be talking about.

I know that someone who subscribed from a barefoot shoe video probably isn't going to be interested a detailed video on hot air soldering. But, they might be interested on a keyboard video that was more beginner friendly and general information oriented, focusing on ergonomics and the 'stuff I didn't know' element as you suggest. Of course to make that appealing to keyboard enthusiasts as well is an interesting challenge but I do have some ideas!

    I like the toe box design of barefoot shoes, but the soles are too painful to wear. Also I have fallen arches because my knee alignment is fundamentally wrong. I would need surgery on my legs to correct the fundamental issue. My knee joints will not correct themselves at 68. Barefoot shoes won't help correct, ( or support), my arches, and so don't help to correct my inward toe alignment, which developed as a result of the kncked-kneed-cause pronation, (its not sole the cause just wearing pointy toe box shoes) If only they made wide toe box shoes WITH spongy arch supprting soles I would wear them. My solution is to wear roomy crocs with insoles.

(It wasn't me) Here is my reply: ​​⁠It's not about what's technioally possible, it's about what's practical, socially acceptable and even legal. That's why most cars need their keys in the car for the engines to be running. Most people would consider it a security risk to leave their car unattended with their dog in it unlocked, with the keys in the ignition and the engine on. It's illegal to leave a car with an idling engine on uk roads and if anyone did that on a campsite here they would be asked to leave! Funnily enough people don't like breathing in engine fumes when sleeping in tents!

    I dont think it would be difficult for them to make either a port w/ a hose attachment that would allow for climate control. I know that would require a change in the build on the cybertruck but I dont see it being that difficult.

    I haven't seriously considered buying another keyboard since getting my Moonlander. I think my biggest hangup about trying something with fewer keys and needing to rely more on additional layers or clever mod-taps is that I have less visual working memory than a hamster with CTE. I forget where I placed a symbol in the time it takes to alt-tab from my Oryx reference page back to what I had been working on. I'd love if I could ever actually LEARN the other layers I presumably spent a few hours very thoughtfully setting up. I'm sure past-me did a commendable job of designing a comfortable and intuitive layout for the numpad layer I've never used. But if you put a gun to my head and told me to press the dedicated caret key in that numpad layer, I'd say just pull the trigger.

    Not sure it is of much concern to those of us in UK/EU at the moment given that the cybertruck doesn't meet safety requirements and needs a category C1 license to drive because of the weight. Maybe they plan to modify it and by then hopefully there will be some better third party options. That said, even as a current Tesla driver, I can't see myself enjoying driving this as a daily around English towns and car parks given they are not designed for it!

Im much more tempted by a Tesla car now that the self driving has come along though. Ill probably wait a few more years for things to keep ironing out and maybe lose the big FSD fee.

    It's kind of crazy how Telsa has a whole range of cars that are incredibly practical and relatively affordable. And then they have the Cybertuck... a product that solves no issues and in fact makes your life arguably worse than if you had bought any other EV Truck. It feels like Tesla has done a great job of shielding itself from Elon's dumb ideas, but someone along the chain finally let one of his demands through the cracks. I swear this truck feels like Elon drew a triangle on a napkin and told them to make it into a truck. The sheer impracticality of their tent is just mindboggling. For $3,000 you could build out a custom trailer and use it as a remote living quarters/camper.

PS: you cant have a tunnel cover without making it slope somehow (which is huge in the US if you don't want your shit stolen) The design is actually surprisingly very practical. Whether it looks good is another story.

      The small one might just need the wheel holder on the bike rack moving to the other side of the base (this will become clear when you look at it). Other than that they can hold small bikes fine.

      I feel a bit bad for making it - I don't usually say something if it's not positive but this seems like something definitely worth discussion!

      Yeah it does look that way doesn't it! I'd love for that to not be true though!

    Imagine if they had rooftop bars of different heights from the roof so that they were level ... 😅

    • @BenVallack
      @BenVallack Před dnem

      Trouble with that is they're invested in the idea that their bars can go in 4 places all the way down the back - which has utility for items of different lengths etc but rules out the idea of staggering them. It would also mean that any long stuff would be sticking right out the back. Normal cargo does look better sitting flush down the back I think.

    Not sure if it's the same on the gallery series but I have an LG CX and I wanted to feed the power cable through the Bang & Olufsen floor stand I'm using; The power cable enters the TV through a small access panel seccured with a screw that can be removed which conceals a small connector that can be removed and re-attched if needs be; Not sure what the warranty implications are with this approach though.

    That's it! I'm blowing my money on barefoot shoes! I've always walked barefoot outside when doing quick chores, like getting the mail or taking the trash

    My feet are shoe shaped, my "big" toe is shorter than the next 2 toes. Shoes are made for me not you, lol.

    There are many membrane jackets that are super thin ( and breathe better ) but none of them are durable vs. 3 L standard and that's why the jacket in the video can't displace the market. When buying a 3 L standard .. 1. always go + 1 size for layering but also for an improved venting. 2. never use "wash in DWR" or any DWR that isn't a teflon spray, because a bad DWR WRECKS the performance when dry You think you know, but you don't. I was using Goretex before CZcams was a thing

    I just went on a 3 hour hike with my dogs. On the way home, I laid down in the fetal position and told them to go on without me 😂 ha, nah, I crawled home. My legs are DONE.

    1. Use barefoot shoes. 2. If the feet hurt ? use an insole or 2 insoles with a +1 size. 3. Reduce the thickness of the insole as you get used to the natural way of walking. 4. Running on concrete isn't natural, correct, so for this purpose you can get a thick barefoot shoe. Don't revert to a raised heel and a sharp toe box because then you have to start over.

    Brilliant Video, I’m fully in the Apple ecosystem but have Sonos speakers. I would love this set up but HomePods don’t have line in for my turntable. Fantastic job.

    • @BenVallack
      @BenVallack Před 3 dny

      Thanks! This is has got me wondering if there is some kind of line to hdmi dongle that would let you use your turntable as an ordinary input to the TV. Then it would go to the Apple TV/HomePods via eArc.
