No need to polish your Cybertruck — you can now buy one that comes with a mirror-like sheen for $150,000www.businessinsider.com Experts previously told Business Insider that while it's probably not illegal to polish a Cybertruck to a mirror finish, it's also not a great idea.

At the very least, this will be an environmental hazard for birds.

Cars are already a hazard for birds, especially immature ones, this is only making it worse.

Yeah, that's my point

It’s going to start shit on fire

On the plus side, if the finish on all the other CyberTruks is any indication, once it's out in the world it'll actually stay that shiny for *maybe* a couple days -- a week at the absolute maximum.

It's really cool to have an invisible car, that'll end up well

I would wager other Tesla vehicles’ cameras-only sensors would not be able to adequately detect that thing In 2016, Tesla publicly blamed a fatal autopilot collision on a bright sky backlighting a white tractor trailer, which the sensors didn’t detect 👇 www.tesla.com/blog/tragic-...

So it only comes in rust or mirror?

Presumably you just put it in your garden, like those decorative mirror balls because Lord knows you can't drive them. :)

Maybe it's just me, but how a "car" that might be invisible on the road under too many circumstances is considered street legal, in the US? I think in California you are mandated to apply so many (stupid) yellow reflectors even on mopeds! 🛵

Illegal in the UK: www.legislation.gov.uk/uksi/1986/10...

I can't see how any sane insurance company would be willing to insure these.

You'll need to add the Super Seatbelt package.

Fires will start wherever it's parked.

Not to mention pedestrians who can't spot or hear it in time to avoid being slashed at the knees by those stainless steel edges.

or possibly start a fire
