@Natanox @Wifiwits @LilahTovMoon
I have wondered if he's trying to pull some sort of "innovators dilemma" start crappy and toylike abd then create a new category thing.
It is tempting to think that he's managing to get all of the worst people to pay for his R&D so he can get the process refined to the point where it's a plausible chassis for replacing the HMMV.
But given it's complexity and the number of untested technologies stuffed into it (the whole drive by wire schtick) I'm leaning more towards the theory that he gets high before meeting the design team and wants to see shiny cool shit added to it.
@laprice @Wifiwits @LilahTovMoon Given all the things I heard about Musk I believe there simply ain't enough people that prevent him from doing nonsense at Tesla, like there are at SpaceX. "Drive-by-wire" also sounds like he saw some documentary about how Fly-by-wire made fighting jets more cool and suddenly wanted that for cars.
I don't think there's some bigger plan aside from what his strategists and lawyers come up with after the fact. After all we all know he's the opposite of a genius.
