Clipped at the pertinent part... seems like it doesn't have a heater for ice build-up like MME though?



Overall features of the CT look really cool, I just don't understand why they had to do the design like they did, seems like it's the biggest thing holding it back and a very missed opportunity

More concerned about the frameless windows getting frozen. That would happen frequently on other vehicles I've had...never going to get a vehicle with frameless windows again (unless it's a convertible).

Don't the appliance makers have a fingerprint resistant coating of some kind for stainless steel?

I think so? There's definitely a lot of different quality levels to stainless steel, like my fridge you can't put magnets on cause it's rolled stainless steel?

I am worried about the sharp edges at the front in regards to pedrestrian safty.
The deep dashboard is really off-putting and I don't know how that's safe for pedestrians. Even MKBHD said it was hard to see over.

At least Ford realized the need for the winglets.

Ford Mustang Mach-E Tesla Cybertruck Door Opening Mechanism Looks Oddly Familiar... images-2

Check out those fingerprints . I guess they could put some sort of coating/repellant on it for the production models but why not have it on all trucks prowling the streets . Spy shots will happen if driven on open roads . Just like these .
Is this a realistic depiction of what to expect ?

PS please do not look at the circled bad build quality

It has? I must have missed that. And mine must be broken.
