Cool but you won't be by it's body panel fitment or rust.....yes rust on SS....At least that's why someone I know got rid of one after less than 3 months of owning it.....oh and then there is the 20 plus K battery replacement a couple years down the road despite what they tell you.Elon wanted it stainless steel; bulletproof for the zombie apocalypse.
Stainless steel doesn't take or hold a bend as easily or as well as the softer steel most cars are made of (especially double curves).
If it was going to be stainless steel (and economical for mass production), he had to go flat and angular instead of curvy.
Ultimately, instead of compromising, he apparently leaned into the sharp and angular look with lots of flat planes.
I think it's ugly as sin, but I'm enamored by its performance.

It reminds me of the commercial kitchen sinks we used to have back when I was a Chef...
