Too many docs in the drivussy?

yup, but that answer was based entirely on the assumptions present in the question. D is all divisible work, and C is everything else, because that's literally all you can assume to make the math work. D has to therefore be 12 months worth of divisible work minus C. C could very well be 12 months of work, meaning D is zero and adding more workers won't matter.

Well, if T is total time to build, D is the time that can be distributed equally among any number of workers, and C is constant, indivisible time extra time that goes along with construction, and X is the number of workers, then:

T - C = D / X

so, since T is 12 and 6 is half of 12, then:

T/2 - C = D/X * 1/2

or

T/2 - C = D/2X where X > 0, C = 0, T=12, and D = (T - C) / X

which is both the answer it's looking for (twice as many workers) and the correct answer (it depends on at least two things we don't know), while assuming what they're assuming, which is C = 0

Get medical advice from a doctor, not a green text by a person who scissored their balls off in a hospital bathroom.

And then, one day, I got in.

They could replace the skin with foam board, but all that weight savings would just let them reduce the battery to save more on the manufacturing costs.

FYI, it only weighs about 400lbs more than the F150 Lightning, so the skin probably doesn't add much weight over a traditional truck skin. The four wheel steering tech and glass roof probably add more.

It's funny, the world was excited for basically a teched out Toyota Tundra with shitloads of battery. The designers were ready to build that, and they could have kept literally everything else the same (steer by wire, steel skin, glass, bed cover, etc) and everyone would have been happy.

Even looking weird people were excited for it.

But then they deleted half the range and doubled the price and ::pikachu face:: everyone hates it.

Sure, musk was the reason it looks weird, but I'd be willing to bet he's 100% the reason for those other things too, because they likely had to cut weight and size to make it's weird look physical possible.

(I'd still buy it if it had 500+ range)
