It’s 18 months old and falling apart, literally.
That's because Tesla is a data collection company, not a car manufacturer 😂
Here is a guy explaining the problem. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3WldSl3HGr8
It appears multiple panels on the truck are just glued on which is crazy. Will Tesla just slather on bunch more glue and call it good? That seems like a bandaid over a pretty major problem. I'll be sure there is a large distance between my car and one of these shitty trucks on the road in case they decide to shed some large panels.
Small text on the bottom of purchase agreement: ~This vehicle is not meant to be used as transportation in an external environment, any use outside of a garage or small enclosed campus is outside of the scope of this vehicle's design and should be avoided.~
According to the article I read yesterday they are adding stronger glue and a bolt.
That is also what this article says.
Although a single bolt is going to need to be quite strong to hold down a long piece of steel exposed to high speed wind regularly.
High speed wind hitting a car? A chance in a million!
Let's hope they won't cheap out on those bolts. Thankfully cheaping out on everything is not an habit they have, right?
Nono. Not bolts.
A. Bolt.

One bolt is probably find if the panel isn't catching wind. But if that thing gets damaged it's likely to shear off at speed. Stay away from dented cyber trucks!

Based Tesla makes a car that vandalizes itself
This has exposed the sales numbers, and impressively, it's sold even worse than the Fire Phone.
46k trucks sold so far. For comparison, rivian sells about that many of their trucks every year.
I still can't believe that 46k people are both that stupid and have 100k to spend.
If you’re dumb, and you can get $15-17k from selling an existing vehicle, you can get a 3 year lease down to delta of $500-$600.
Telsa was pushing leases pretty hard because a lot of EV incentives are lease-only. I’ll bet they duped a lot of people into putting a shitload down for a lease.
. . . and have 100k to spend.
You can get an 84 month auto loan these days if you're dumb enough to do it.
That's still over $1000 a month to buy a fucking car
It's more of a self-igniting dumpster.
I’m curious, does Tesla have its own financing division that gives out these loans?

Every wankpanzer ever? I had to check it wasn't the onion. It's not the onion.
This reminds me of "Clarke and Dawe - The Front Fell Off" skit XD
The side is falling off.
And this time it is indeed typical
This is why we don't make them out of paper, or paper derivatives.
Between this and the door falling off a Boeing airplane, not so sure we should be all hot to make everything in 'merica 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Could this be the worst designed car ever made? I really wish we could have a Top Gear episode on it.
James did a test drive and he seemed to kind of like it, it was on drive tribe I think.

I mean, how many times have they recalled these same, like, 5,000 trucks? This is at least the third massive recall.

And nobody who is familiar with how technology companies operate was shocked to hear that the 100k incel camino is literally held together with cheap glue.
Even the melted ones? 😄
Amazing. :)
It really is a metaphor for the current state of America.
Of course. Yet another Tesla recall. In a few months, we will all be here again

So what i gather is there's probably a readily available solvent to dissolve the glue and make any Swasticar Wankpanzer fall the fuck apart?
You can step up the scale of solvent molecular weights until you find one that gives the desired result, but I'm going to conjecture that regular old acetone will probably be quite sufficient.

Waiting for trump to send off musk to death camp for being a terrorist.
I think the current power dynamic in the whitehouse may make the opposite more likely.
I wonder if those protesters vandalizing Teslas know this is their big opportunity? Insurance companies insuring auto shops are fewer in number and more selective than those serving the general population. If these trucks were damaged while waiting for repairs, we might witness insurance companies altogether dropping coverage for shops. Without insurance these places will find it difficult to continue existing.
