"We need to cut costs! Why are we spending extra to drill these stupid holes all over the vehicle?"
"Sir, that's a drain h—"
"Yeah, I don't care what they are, I want them gone, or you're fired."
And other such great hits like "why are you using six bolts to hold these together? Can't we do it with two? Do it with two." The man is an imbecile.
The problem is you aren’t thinking like a billionaire. When your Nazi truck catches on fire when it rains and kills your customer, the company gets to sell a new Nazi truck to your customer’s child. That doubles every sale and potentially triples once the grandchildren are of driving age.
Actual reason Elon Musk pushes for higher birth rates?
Why stop there? Drop the driving age. Get rid of licenses and insurance. Mandatory vehicle ownership? Make it easier to sell to more.

Jesus Fuck.
I had to look it up.
It actually does void the warranty.
So not only are you not allowed to sell them (your own property) within the first year of buying one. But you also can't take it through a carwash?
And you have to pay $80k starting for one?
Man, I already thought the people who owned them were dumb. But holy fuck. Why would you do that to yourself?
Where did you find this? Just curious as I know teslas have an actual “car wash mode” that disables some mirrors and other automatic parts of the car.
Their own website states that damage from car washes void the warranty and that you must put it in car wash mode. But car wash mode doesn't prevent the damage indicated in OP's post. Also, you're expected to remember to put it in car wash mode instead of just going through the car wash like every other vehicle.
Also, if the damage from OP's pictures is real, what's to stop Tesla from just saying it was caused by taking it through a car wash when it was really just out in the rain or you hand washed it at home?
Bottom line is these things are a liability that aren't worth it unless you're dumb and have funny money to burn.
I suspect that it's specifically the WankPanzer model rather than the regular cars.
What about if it rains. Or like…you clean it yourself??
Owners are expected to lick their cars.
Most do it without knowing it's mandatory.
I'm sorry, I'm normally on your side on this issue but calling it a "swastidumpster" is tasteless and makes you look bad. even if you want to liken it to a dumpster please use the correct term, which is a dumpstika.
got me in the first half etc

And a toaster, you get two for one really
Hanlon's razor says this is stupidity, but I love the thought of a malicious engineer.
I'd like to imagine that an engineer or designer got burned for pointing out issue with the CT, and after that they decided to just "yes man" Elon.
Wanna tow stuff with it, but also have a cast Aluminum frame? Sure thing!
You want capacitive sensors on the exterior of the vehicle? GENIUS!
Reduce weakpoints in the frame by not putting in drain holes? We won't worry about rust because it's made of stainless steel and aluminum? Eureka!
Maybe they all designed the swasticar as a joke / training for what not to do
Is the entire frame just cast aluminum!? It legitimately looks like he had his rocket engineers build this one.
You can't get more disparate inspection/maintenance schedules than aerospace vs. Automotive.
I read the biography of him and yes, it's molded in one piece (or was at the time of the book from memory) it was inspired by the bottom of a toy car. The issue of water ingress was apparently brought up but he didn't think it would be an issue.
I doubt there was significant concern for fretting/fatigue here. These frames look like they're almost intended to last only 5yr.
They're all-in on these large monolithic aluminum castings. He has branded it giga casting. I've always assumed it was to make them non-repairable.
Well you can engineer a fatigue life with aluminum so if your goal is to prevent a second hand market and promote car as a service it's one way to go.
E: I'm aware of the software and other subscription stuff they do.
This car is clearly built to be single-use though.
We've mastered reusable rocketry, can't we apply those findings to the automotive industry? There must be a better way.
Did y’all see the bit about the space x rocket being less effective of the oldest rockets made. Calculation error means it can only take up 400 tons of the 1000 it supposed to. No way to fix it. NASA did it better.
Its so poorly made it's not allowed in europe. And normal teslas had issues getting allowed to be sold in Finland cause they are just built to such a low standard. You are getting scammed when you get a tesla.
Good for the american criminals, I guess, since the police departments using Teslas might be prone to shorting out on pursuits during heavy rain, I guess.
W Freedom (to commit crimes).
"What are you doing turning into this car wash? The cops are right on our tail! " " Yeah, but the cops are looking for a dirty car, right?" " Boss, you're a genius! "
Ah yes, the ol', Pay n' Spray technique. Classic!
Until a few years ago, every $500 Tesla door handle had over a dozen contact switches, motors, microprocessors, and other points of failure, all exposed to moisture and thermal cycling.
Now they just have 2 motors, a couple hall effect sensors, and a microprocessor encased in plastic so they're 10x cheaper to make and don't fail nearly as much, but still cost $500.
I love that for every bozo who bought one in Florida now the we're about to enter hurricane season in a few months.
Not a problem! They got rid of NOAA so that means no more hurricane seasons
A place to post your Cybertruck fails! We're here to make fun of this hunk of shit and throw as much shade as we can to that garbage bag of a human elon.
No doxxing No slurs No racism And no fucking nazis!
