     If you think the Muskbus looks silly on the outside, wait until you see the interior.

     Only 4 of 14 seats have a window, but the view is obscured by the pseudo art deco stripes. Half the seats are rear facing, and it's stadium seating, so you're going to be staring at half the bus and they're going to staring at you. Plus, rear facing seats with no windows is a great recipe for motion sickness; I hope vomit wipes cleanly off those pristine white seats...

     Also, zero wheelchair seating, so this would be illegal to use as a bus in the US.

     Has literally no one involved in this ever been on a bus ever?

     I have to say, congratulations to #Tesla for finally inventing the bus. Now granted, they are the 23rd tech company to invent the 18th century omnibus, but congrats nonetheless.

     I look forward to their invention of CyBerGuIDEs (rails) and GiGaHyperBatterY (overhead electrification).
