I’ve seen ones that were custom painted and they look significantly better. It doesn’t stop them from being dumpsters on wheels, but at least they look finished.
they'd still be better with less electronics, particularly if we reduce the electronics to the point where they are just the original prototype car with a better battery
My expectation was to get a product with esp32 s3 from 2020, not the 2016 version.
Just like the car in the picture gets you from A to B, I can work with that chip. It's just a pain to strip and modify stuff designed for the S3 to get at least partially working on the chip I got. Luckily I don't need every "bell and whistle".

This is fake.
Panel gaps are too consistent and it doesn't look like anything has fallen off.

Even survives car washes. Fake as hell

Things were just built better back then

Also, as cars designed by immature adults go, it might just look better than the real thing.

I mean, it is also obviously AI generated, so there's that too. (Or is it?)

It is, this is way too well made, unless it’s a kitbashed scale model, but that would be even more impressive.
I could probably do this on photoshop if I had a couple hours to kill. But I think I and most of us have better things to do.

Okay but why does this look better than the actual thing though

Colour! Silver is boring unless it's a highlight.
Also, that straight line that's bumper to bumper and consistent through the doors is a nice detail

Less electronics = less problems

Tesla being terrible not withstanding, electric vehicles require less maintenance than ICE vehicles, I believe.
That being said, fuck cars anyway, all my homies love walkable neighbourhoods with public and active transport

All my homies also want fewer electronics in cars (other than those required to make the car go) ergo, you are one of my homies ;)

That vehicle has already lasted longer, and been more useful, than any of the embarrassing new ones.

I recently bought a wearable device from Amazon with programmable esp32 s3 board. What I got was basically buying a cybertruck and getting this.
Valmond@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 1y
Esp32s are great, what was your expectations?

Probably lead acid batteries.
