Carscoops · Tesla Recalls Every Single Cybertruck Over Stainless Steel Trims Falling OffVon John Halas

This excellent youtube video by a critical cybertruck owner goes over every major body panel which is glued on.

It's clearly possible to rip off some of these panels by hand.

Kinda surprised they haven't started walking off the trucks given how easy some of them come off.

Most panels appear to be easily pealed off part of the way.

There's been reports for over ten months about the glue quality not being up to the job. While most of the larger panels do have a few weld points the rear quarter panels only have a few small welds with the majority of the panel actually being held in with glue.

It's crazy that Tesla says the panels are structural load bearing elements but once you see all the plastic under there its easier to believe 😅

LMAO, Tesla owners have been saying all week that the reports of Cybertrucks rapidly disassembling themselves on the highway are fake news.

Turns out Cybertrucks are infact falling apart because the GLUE that holds the stainless steel panels in place can't survive winter temps 🫠.

Can't imagine any other car owners defending the car maker for their $100k+ ride falling the fuck apart every winter.

Look, is everyone who drives a Tesla a fascist?

No.

(They’re more than likely neoliberal and probably more ashamed than anything else right now.)

Similarly, is everyone who drives a Cybertruck a fascist?

You bet your sweet ass, they are.

Jalopnik:

"This may still come as a surprise to a lot of you, but the Tesla Cybertruck sucks. Not only is it bad at being a truck, it's also a bad vehicle in general. I mean, you can't seriously tell me you'd rather buy a truck that can be bricked by a simple car wash instead of a Rivian R1T? Really? I don't remember any Rivian owners complaining about body panels flying off their trucks while driving, but that's absolutely a thing with Cybertrucks. In fact, body panels flying off has become enough of an issue that Tesla has paused Cybertruck deliveries for now, Electrek reports."

👀 😂

"Decades later, the Tesla Cybertruck, lately a prime target for protesters demonstrating their dislike of CEO Elon Musk, blurs the boundaries between the battlefield and the public street. When Tesla released the Cybertruck in 2023, its dramatic style polarized the public. Popular theories abounded about its unusual look. Many speculated that its inspiration had come from spaceships of science fiction. In discussing the car’s aesthetic early on, Musk referenced cyberpunk and Blade Runner, a film that features sleek metallic vehicles, though with rounded silhouettes designed for aerodynamic speed. He’s also used the phrase “The future should look like the future”—a reference, his biographer Walter Isaacson said, to a question his son Saxon asked him once: “Why doesn’t the future look like the future?”

Whether or not this was intentional, the Cybertruck’s harsh, sharp edges remind us, instead, of something from the past: the larger armored personnel vehicles that patrolled streets throughout Musk’s youth in apartheid South Africa. In the 1980s, the Casspir proliferated across the country, moving from the battlefield and onto the streets. Initially improvised as a way to circumvent international sanctions against the apartheid government, the Casspir mine-resistant ambush protected vehicle was invented and produced domestically. It was a rugged all-terrain vehicle intended to withstand gunfire and mine explosions. It could drive up to 60 mph and be modified to add artillery functions.

Eventually, the Casspir was deployed to patrol townships, the residential neighborhoods where many Black South Africans lived (...) By the 1990s, the Casspir had become an iconic global symbol of apartheid oppression."
