“It does suck, because everybody kind of makes fun of the Cybertruck. To the outside person, it’s kind of weird, it’s ugly, whatever. Once you actually get in it, drive it, you realize it’s pretty frickin’ cool,” he says. “It’s kind of been sad, because I’ve been trying to prove to people that it’s a really awesome truck that’s not falling apart, and then mine starts to fall apart, so it’s just… Yeah, it’s kind of unfortunate and sad.”
That’s interesting. My mother was blind in one eye and so had no depth perception. I’m pretty sure she rarely drove me anywhere after I got my license and I was the youngest in the family; my dad did most of the teaching-how-to-drive so I guess I never had cause to consider what impact a lack of depth perception might have had on driving. She did drive, though, and never got into an accident or even had a ticket in my lifetime.
If she hadn’t told me, I might never have known about her visual issues. I think once or twice I might have seen her miss when trying to put a straw in a cup or similar things, but that could happen to anyone. She did sometimes ask me to switch to her other side when out walking so that she could see me, but navigated crowds without any issues I observed.
Sorry, I didn’t mean to get off topic. I was just considering how it might have impacted her in ways I might not have thought about before.
Well, beyond retinal issues my eyes had… EXCEPTIONAL levels of nearsightedness. For a time my vision with best correction was 20/250 in better eye. Without, 20/500.
Add retinal issues on top of that and… yea.
