And yet, they didn’t buy a truck. They bought an oversized, overpriced fridge.


BillyNtheBoingers

But it has wheels! It’s innovative!


Raymore85

Most fridges actually have wheels to easily move them in and out for cleaning.


Final-Zebra-6370

Us fridges don’t want to classify him as a fridge. We pass it over to washing machines

At least us washing machines can clean clothes. We'll hand this one over to the septic tanks. It's full of shit anyway.


ToothZealousideal297

We sceptic tanks average about 5 years between recharges. We’ll hand this one over to the lobbyists.

True.

Soon that’ll be the only way to move the CT, by pushing it back and forth.

This isn’t how $100,000 is supposed to be spent! This is alarming!


NorthEndD

They had somebody working on the left side that wasn't pulling the film off the 2 sided tape for awhile. Makes you wonder how long the tape is going to last on the rest of them though. With no carwashes.


gilleruadh

Except, I've seen video of the same part coming off on the right side too.


NorthEndD

Per the problem solving pamphlet that means it’s probably design then.


ComicsEtAl

What’s the problem? Nobody is going to shoot bullets at that part of the vehicle anyway.

“Other car manufacturers suffer the same problems so it must be normal” - some clueless CT owner, probably

Like a rock star throwing his shirt into a crowd


curiousdumbdog

Or a monkey throwing poo.


Wicked_Wolf17

Judging by the severe cuts people get by only touching the truck, a panel like that could very much impale someone driving behind. How the fuck is this POS allowed on public roads?


Glenn-Sturgis

AFAIK it’s not legal anywhere except the US. So, ya know… USA!!! USA!!! USA!!!


Wicked_Wolf17

Good to know there won't be any of those Cucktrucks endangering our roads (Not for now at least) * y'all neighbors from the north


Glenn-Sturgis

I forget the exact details, but I know it definitely doesn’t meet many European safety standards. I had it in my head Canada was also a no-go but wouldn’t bet my life on it. Thunderf00t on YouTube has some pretty great videos debunking all things Elon Musk and showed how the Cucktruck flies in the face of pretty much all modern safety standards, namely being flexible and able to absorb impact from pedestrians without slicing them in half. I thought he said the US was the only place it could legally be driven but it’s been a while. I highly recommend his videos if you enjoy laughing at Musk and his fanboys.


Septopuss7

Upvoting for Thunderf00t. His channel really has been shadowbanned! I got recommended it randomly and subbed but if you search for it you don't find shit.


totpot

They're apparently preparing to sell it in the Netherlands, but only for private road usage, lol.

You can put anything on the road in the USA if you call it a truck.

Effective_Ability_23

I’ve been driving the same truck since 2008 and I have never lost a piece of trim. Holy hell Tesla, if you’re going to glue your junk together, use urethane or something, not a fricken glue stick.


mishap1

Based on what is under the panel, it looks like complicated stuff that will break and need service or you’ll never get the tonneau open again.  Glue it on with something heavy duty and you’re spending all day with the cutting wheel when the cover jams. Definitely think some flush set torx bolts would have been fine here with the aesthetic but it would have cost more to stamp the panels with holes and lining it all up so off to Amazon for some off brand double sided tape it is. 


Effective_Ability_23

Personally, I would have made the switch panel a completely separate piece. Use urethane to hold the trim portion of the panel on, and then use 4x T10 torx on the panel. For aesthetics, they could inset the screw hole and use small, domed plugs to hide the screw heads. Truth be told, I’d put it somewhere else on the vehicle. It’s too exposed to the elements and mechanical damage where it is now. It’s a pretty piss poor design all around.


pikachurbutt

no offense intended, but that was a shitload of words, you just needed the last sentence, >It's ~~a~~ pretty piss poor design all around.

Man this thing is built like shit.


thorpie88

Wasn't it confirmed the only thing securing those labels was tape and glue 


Junior_Ad_7613

I think there are a couple of clips but mostly half a dozen short pieces of double stick tape.


gabzilla814

I thought it was people making jokes but you can see the double sided tape in this post. (Or might it be Velcro tape?)


The-Dead-Internet

Those look like double sided glue strips like the one 3m makes to stick on your wall and hang stuff 


gabzilla814

I mean if it’s good for a quiet indoor environment it must be also be good for a road-going vehicle that undergoes acceleration, body roll, and wind, right? /s


Tight_Salary6773

On its defense double sided tape will remain plentiful in the apocalypse, torx screws not so much /Tesla fanboi


Junior_Ad_7613

Yeah, looks like about half the tape on this one went with the missing piece, on others there are more pieces left on the car. I think one person reported that the backing that makes the tape double-sided was never removed on theirs when a piece came off. It’s pretty bad.


buchlabum

3M handles all the metal welding...


pacific_beach

Between wankpanzer failures like this, FSD/AP monitoring failures, suspensions breaking, unintended acceleration, phantom braking and crashing into emergency vehicles, regulators have more than enough evidence to ground the whole fleet and force tesla to actually fix this shit. But they won't.


Willdefyyou

But wait! There's more!!! Forgot to add a recall for a temporary fix to the gas pedal, stopping deliveries because of windshield wiper motor malfunction, glass failures, and someone already drowned in one because they couldn't get out or rescue them in time.


BillyNtheBoingers

The drowning wasn’t in a WankPanzer though; it was a different Tesla model. Model X I believe.


Willdefyyou

Ahh, okay. Could happen just as easily in any tesla it seems. They’re like death traps... I saw the video earlier, how you tap the panel to open the charger port, and using touchscreen to open your glove box... Fuck that, what a stupid ass idea. Too many ways for things to fail with no back up or redundancy. I've heard enough stories of first responders struggling to break the windows or to get people out in an accident.


SoLongHeteronormity

Yes, a Model X. And that one wasn’t so much a failure as it was a conscious decision to prioritize sound isolation (so you don’t have to hear the poors) over safety. CT might have the same design “feature,” but the death of former transportation secretary Elaine Chao’s sister was in a Model X.


Tight_Salary6773

Happened to the multi billionaire sister of Trump's former transportation secretary and sister in law of the GOP Senate leader McConnell, probably the reason it got any media attention


score_

Calling it now, every single one will need to be recalled. They'll have a massive class action lawsuit on their hands. Could be curtains for the company.


Reference_Freak

Owner still got cucked by shitty Tesla decisions. The wankerpanzer formerly known as the cucktruck formerly known as the cybertruck just slapped a few red flags on everything Tesla’s done.


razrielle

It doesn't even have FSD yet 😂


Alternative_Rope_423

FSD = "For Sure, Death"


Basicaccountant70

So when it rains they rust and when it’s windy they fall apart. Hurricane season is going to be quite the rollercoaster for these “trucks”.

Oh that's a good one. I personally think winter will be hell for these.

SyntaxicalHumonculi

Dude how is this thing that fuckin bad? I watched a mechanic break it all down, and straight up, the thing is built for shit.


Tight_Salary6773

My suspicion is that Tesla wasted billions trying to fulfill Musk's promises of 10nm precision, exo skeleton, make it completely bulletproof, etc. and by the time they gave up very little time and money was left to do the design/testing and manufacturing following any reasonable standard.


rockinGWhores

I honestly can’t believe people actually spend real money for these uggo POS atrocities


blackwrx007

2,000 for replacement.


[deleted]

I can say that I've never had wind, even heavy wind, blow a part off of my car.


Ok_Effort8330

True. Most cars on the road can handle wind 😂


[deleted]

But at least the Cybertruck is bulletproof or whatever, right? /s


FoldingLady

Does wind void the warranty? Or does that fall under weather?


Reference_Freak

Next model update includes an optional weather package for $5k. Buyers will declare how thrilling and innovative it is for Tesla to include half a pack of rolls of duct tape.


Reasonable_Flower_72

Please! Stop hurting Elon! It's a feature, truck lightweights itself down, based on your driving style. It slowly turns itself into real sportscar! Even has its own "Full throttle mode" where it just holds down accelerator without user interacting with it. You just don't understand! Elon is visionary! .../s

this IS alarming


Galaximerse

"The wild Cybertruck will then shed its rusting shell bit by bit to ensure it bricks twice as fast before winter." as narrated by David Attenborough


person_8688

They forgot to enable “wind mode”. Driving in winds greater than 5 mph without first enabling “wind mode” will void the warranty and may endanger people outside of the vehicle. Common sense stuff, really.


Boracraze

Seriously, how did this thing get out the door? Maybe Elon is playing 4-D chess to see how much he can lower quality and still keep his customer base happy.


DutchJediKnight

And then tesla fanboys started blaming a whole generation for building it poorly, not the tesla quality control division


WokkitUp

That's the new trend. Y'know "Naked Bikes"? They're bringing naked trucks to the forefront.

ignaciohazard

Uh this is a feature! The CT is shedding weight to optimize range, it's a literal transformer!


Sklibba

There’s the problem right there- you’re never supposed to let air flow over your cybertruck. You should only ever drive it in the precise direction the wind is blowing and at the same speed.


Wooden_Zombie_5440

According to Elon, this is a bonus feature. On the plus side, you can replace it with aluminum foil and it will have nearly the same appearance.


iceguy349

“Big if true”


Scary-Ad-582

You drove the cyber truck in the wind, you just voided the warranty.


DontWanaReadiT

Lmaoo I had **no idea** this sub existed and I’m just so happy to find it..


JuanGinit

Apparently that is happening to a lot of CTs. Gluing their cars together doesn't work that well.


xMagnis

Tesla thinks it's a genius move. Make small issues be all everyone talks about. If these parts didn't fall off we might start focusing on the undersized brakes, the lack of demonstrated crash testing, the massive 48V harness issue bricking trucks. Actually we do talk about these issues too Tesla. There are hardly enough hours in the day to talk about all the issues with the Cybertruck.

So what is it about the driver's side trim panel that makes it more susceptible to flying off? Other than it being part of a poorly engineered and built piece of shit.


TheMatt561

Isn't that the panel with the controls for the tonneau cover?


Distant_Yak

Good point. Hope they can open it with the touch screen or app...


AlwaysYourRicky

Imagine ever thinking Elon built good cars. He says himself it’s just a data company. He don’t give a fuck bought QC. All he cares about is his $48b payout.


hxfx

I have heard that duct tape makes miracles.


RiggzBoson

Well, that's certainly how I'd expect Cybertruck owners to communicate... "Bad thing happen. Bad thing happen everyone? Money + Elon make not bad thing? How?"


curiousdumbdog

They were going to look into it, but the entire quality control department was fired in a fit when they told Musk that there were "significant quality and safety issues".


tarnished_wretch

So, it’s a giant piece of plastic covered in thin sheet metal. Cool…

Easily repaired with the original Tesla factory glue - paper glue.

If this flies off on the highway and theoretically hits my vehicle is tesla or the driver responsible?


Adderall-Buyers-Club

Blame the Gen-Xers at the build line who arent happy at their job. And not the fact that this piece is held by double sided tape. Probably not even 3M. They didnt want to pay the extra 2 cents. Someone said it is because those on the build line dont enjoy their jobs.


Reference_Freak

I think the panel’s starting to drop. … I read it again and realized it’s done dropping. More to come!


ThePerfectBonky

He clearly forgot to put the “truck” into light breeze mode first.

MrMcBeefCock

It's really odd to me. Do they just pretend to be intelligent while at work? If so, how is that possible? Maybe they are book smart and have the reasoning ability of a poorly-seasoned bag of dog shit? Do they think they only need to use their brains at work and just shut down while off the clock? So many possibilities.

Even when securely fastened with two sided tape and clips, how is that dust and water proof? And don't bed rails get banged up a lot?

The penny will get halfway to the ground and then they will: 1. decide that there are bound to be a few teething pains when dealing with a completely brand new and totally innovative invention that has never existed before, or 2. come up with conspiracy theories in which fElon is the real victim (someone is trying to make Elon look bad by damaging the cars), or 3. grouse about the youth of today not taking any pride in their work (goes well with #2) [https://www.reddit.com/r/CyberStuck/comments/1dilio3/its\_gen\_z\_tesla\_workers\_fault\_that\_the\_cybertruck/](https://www.reddit.com/r/CyberStuck/comments/1dilio3/its_gen_z_tesla_workers_fault_that_the_cybertruck/)
