Or...is BC Rich so smart and ahead-of-the-curve that they saw this coming, and are building up a cache of abalone-laden guitars to use up all of the supply, and corner the market, artificially driving up the demand (and prices) of their new guitars?!?!?!

From the videos I've seen,the cybertruck was designed that way because the material they used was so hard it would constantly wreck the tooling to bend and contour it too much.

Eeeeeehhh...i don't know enough about metalurgy, but that sounds suspect. I mean...with the right tooling/machinering, you could bend a 44" tall I-beam.

And keeping those edges and creases perfectly lined up will be MUCH harder than if there were radius and curves. Tesla has enough trouble with normal panel gaps and alignment on their cars, as it is. I don't think i've ever seen a Model X's Falcon Doors align perfectly on any one I've seen in person. Their rear hatch lids on the Model S are also often slightly twisted..just like it was on my '01 Cougar hatchback.

Don't shoot the messenger.I'm not sure if it was mentioned what the material was called,but that was the excuse that was given.

Two words: chicken tax.

The Asian and European brands simply can't sell their best products over here. They're at a 25% price handicap out of the gate in a sector that's already incredibly bloated and expensive.

It doesn't help that the foreign offerings are typically less configurable, have fewer engines available, and don't have a fleet market.

Speaking as someone who's had pickup trucks and work with the kind of folks you're talking about, brand jumping has become a lot more common. Especially now that the RAMs are a heck of a lot more competitive and GM's engine choices have stagnated.



Unfortunately we've hit the character limit. Maybe I'll fuck around with it later.

Normally I'd try to get things back on path, but this thread has become dreadfully boring with no one actually buying anything, just [still] complaining about price and abalone.

Holy freaking god man! Just look at how shitty the alignment is on that trem cover plate! One side is on the line and the other side is way off. Jesus why can't they get anything right?
