Some Tesla engineers secretly started designing a Cybertruck alternative because they ‘hated’ it::“They were like, ‘You can’t be serious.’ They didn’t want to have anything to do with it,” Franz von Holzhausen said, according to Walter Isaacson.

    I thought he was always the only engineer tho. This implies he does not do his own designs. Very sus. /s

        It was supposed to be sarcasm but I guess it didn’t translate well via text. I’ll add the /s, sorry :)

          He’s not the designer, either, that’s the sad part… He just chose between designs others created.

            He’s a designer the way Nigel Tuffnel designed the Stonehenge set piece on a napkin.
