All the comments and stories posted to Hacker News that reference this video.⬐ QuequauYou know it's bad when the queen of shitty robots makes a better truck.
I was as well, but everyone involved here seems to have a really good head on their shoulders and obviously have the skills to back it all up.I'm watching the youtube video posted on her channel [1], and I noticed that she brought in a lot of people with unique skills to ensure this was done right.
Working with Simone is a guy who has experience salvaging and rebuilding teslas, a guy who has experience as a race mechanic and has built electric racing vehicles, and several others with similar experience in critical areas.
And all of those skills really show! The truck has reinforcements added where needed, it has a roll bar added, windows that look like they came from the factory, telemetry and safety systems in the car are disabled where necessary and preserved where they can.
It's actually impressive how much this isn't just a "cut up a tesla to make it look like a truck", this really looks like something usable!
Windsor could be (near) where the shoot happened. It's likely you saw Simone and/or her team.Dark grey van? See 25m20s here: https://youtube.com/watch?v=jKv_N0IDS2A
