On the plus side, no product has more effectively belled so many dingdongs irl

Thank you for calling attention to your small thoughts and tiny wangs, dudes

How can one car suck this hard, and still have MAGATs blame Democrats for the stock tanking?
reply
It's an easy Do-It-Yourself repair, if you go to Home Depot and get the right product...

At least the Adobe was easy to repair. https://youtu.be/F02P2JO7yfc

"Potential"? Half the exterior is glued on and ripe for an on freeway "rapid, unscheduled disassembly".

“Honour system” safety regulation enforcement in the US. Wish I was kidding.

Elon’s “iterative design” = paying customers as beta testers who assume a ton of risk if anything goes wrong.

And Katy Perry wants to go up in one of Elon's rockets. No thank you.

It is so butt ugly to boot!
reply
When you buy the regulators? Just a guess...

MAGA is apoplectic thinking it’s the leftie boycott that's driving down TSLA stock prices.
reply
Tesla offers insurance coverage, because the open market would price it too high for all the risks.

so if it was illegal to self insure as an automaker, AND illegal to require users to sign NDAs on service issues (essentially privatizing safety info) to realize warrantee, Tesla would be screwed.

Where’s Ralph Nader?

I'm very curious about how the DOT let this through before 2024.
reply
Has anyone ever seen anyone use this as a real truck? Ever seen one on a construction site?
reply
There are teenagers who go to technical high schools that could build a better vehicle.

It’s not road legal in UK, EU… maybe Australia too now…

Pretty expensive engineering f-up on a $100K car. .
reply
Because legal and illegal are whatever Musk deem to be.

Here is the answer to your question.

I can confirm that they do indeed have exterior panel issues.

To wit:
These things are ugly as fuck.

Cyber junk

This is the software model (release buggy product and fix through subsequent patches) applied to something that is not software. Seems like a classic "if all you have is a hammer" issue.

Bribes

Tesla and the Cybertruck taught me so much about the enraging gaps we have in auto safety.
reply
May I present for everyone's memory the Trabant, another example of what happens when stolen intellectual property meet hubris and poor manufacturing practices.

The Cybertruck is 2025's Trabant. Wankpanzer has never been more appropriate.
reply
Big Trak was so much sturdier, safer, and better at self-driving.

It is our obligation to flip them off at every turn. Unless you see a panel coming off then steer clear!
reply
Parts falling off a car at highway speeds - that's what you get w/ a rusted out heap. Elon sells junk cars.
reply
And with a starting price of $79k.
Will insurance companies even insure it?
reply
uh oh, DOGE bout to pay another visit to the NHTSA
reply
There is, or was, a secret committee at Tesla tasked with making sure that Elon's ideas weren't implemented. Eventually it stumbled and the FailTruck was created.
reply
I even heard they're spontaneously catching fire, lately.
reply
I reasonably sure that Tesla engineers were given an impossible deadline and threw this together with tinfoil and library paste believing that NO ONE could possibly like it and were backed into a corner when F*Elon threw up a salute and declared "I love it!".

Might explode, bricks itself for no reason, exterior panels fall off, can be utterly annihilated by a car wash—but at least it’s insanely expensive!
reply
Also missing that for IIRC they aren’t allowed to sell it! Who TF is stupid enough to buy something that expensive with the agreement that they don’t have control over whether, when, to whom or for how much they can sell it?
reply
it only took like 5 pintos burning for them to pull the full line.
reply
Utterly inexplicable.
reply
Doors can't be opened if the power is off. (A design choice)
reply
Don't forget impossible to open from the outside; deadly!
reply
You left off trapping you inside while you die screaming in flames, and I wish I was kidding. Stephen King should sue for him ripping off Christine, but at least that car could self drive.
reply
And Christine was a whole lot prettier...

A WHOLE LOT!
reply
I still think those cars were gorgeous, if a bit homicidal. Reminds me of an ex, now that I think about it.
reply
Love this shady Free Press headline #detroitvseverybody

also, if you’re trapped inside while it’s on fire, everyone around the car will helplessly watch you die

Should start referring it to the Pinto on the 2020s.
reply
Not only expensive (bizarrely so) but here in LA so many have been coated in weird wrap, advertising the company or just looking especially precious.

Attracts flying balls of your neighbor's pet's waste!

Cybertruck disappoints with poor build, short range (~330 km), slow charging, recalls, high cost ($60k+), and low sales.
reply
When you give hundreds of millions to Republicans, you quite literally own the road.
reply
Answer: 💰 In other countries it is not street legal for example it's illegal to drive the #TeslaCyberDeathSwatzicar on UK streets. If you see one on the street steer clear of it.
reply
Tesla owners coming unglued.
reply
Hey Tesla Board- do you GD jobs!!
reply
This has always been my question. It never should have been street legal.
reply
Oh, I just realized that since I've been in a hotel for a work meeting since Sunday evening, I haven't seen one of these damn things in person in days. Yay! (I rarely go more than 1 day without seeing one normally. Sigh.)
reply
Good! Anything that keeps these hideous “trucks” off the road is better for the view!
reply
It ain’t.
reply
How could anyone have taken these dumpsters on wheels seriously to dump $80K or more?? Every time I see one on the road, I cringe
reply
Trumpian dispensation, I guess.
reply
Italians still buy Fiats.
reply
Fiats are well designed and well manufactured in comparison to Cybertrucks (and most Tesla models).
reply
It's an old joke about Italian loyalty to Italian products. For a long time Fiats were considered quirky.
reply
True. But Fiat also undertook some seriously good design and engineering, even if the final product sometimes lacked finesse and quality.
reply
Corruption
reply
Our regulatory bodies have been captured over the last 50 years with both Parties enabling it because they prostitute themselves for a few moments of power. They also create these agencies hamstrung from their inceptions soliciting bribes(fundraising) from industry who write the rules.
reply
It is not road legal in many countries
reply
Simple, company owner bought the country's president.
