That's because Tesla is a data collection company, not a car manufacturer 😂
It really is a metaphor for the current state of America.
Between this and the door falling off a Boeing airplane, not so sure we should be all hot to make everything in 'merica 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Worth noting that both of these companies have essentially blank checks from the government and use it as a funnel for taxpayers to shareholders who then dont pay taxes. It’s a Ponzi scheme that just happens to make airplanes and shit people actually need.
But are too scared to nationalize.
Boeing (and McDonnell Douglas before them) actually made good planes when engineers ran the show. Then, the finance bros took over.
Tesla factories are like Amazon warehouses.
why would the tesla engineers commit terrorism like this
This reminds me of "Clarke and Dawe - The Front Fell Off" skit XD
A little over a year ago, a guy tried to ask me out and I'm the process said a few dumb things in an attempt to impress me. The dumbest of them all was that he was planning to buy a Cybertruck as his next vehicle. By the time he'd said this, I'd already long made up my mind about this guy. Mind, this was the period of time when Elon was just an asshole and hadn't gone full Nazi yet, but even then, this dude's choice of vehicle told me I'd made the right choice.
Theseadays I wonder if that guy ever got his idiot truck, and, whether he did or not, if he's changed his mind about it.
Even the melted ones? 😄
Amazing. :)
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.
Haha
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.
. . . and have 100k to spend.
You can get an 84 month auto loan these days if you're dumb enough to do it.

To be fair, Rivian is selling as many trucks as they can produce. Rivian could sell more vehicles if they had the line capacity.
Tesla is an older company with more mature manufacturing lines, and they can make more Trucks, but no one wants them.

Based Tesla makes a car that vandalizes itself
Could this be the worst designed car ever made? I really wish we could have a Top Gear episode on it.
I mean, how many times have they recalled these same, like, 5,000 trucks? This is at least the third massive recall.
Is it worse than the Delorean?

The new models are being fixed by “nut clamping”
Is this a service rendered to the owners or the vehicles?

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.~
Staying away from cybertrucks is just good sense anyway. They're being driven by morons and are NOT safe to be in a collision with. S'why they're not road legal in the EU - they're too dangerous to things they collide with.
Glue is commonly used in vehicle manufacturing to bond panels together. It's typically stronger than welding, and is often used in the vehicle's structural pieces as well.
The problem with the Cyberdumpster is that they used shitty glue.

It’s 18 months old and falling apart, literally.
Every wankpanzer ever? I had to check it wasn't the onion. It's not the onion.
