Tesla recalls all Cybertrucks ever made over trim falling off | Electrek
Tesla has recalled all Cybertrucks ever made and delivered in the US over a trim falling off the electric truck,...
Even the melted ones? 😄
That's because Tesla is a data collection company, not a car manufacturer 😂
Amazing. :)
This reminds me of "Clarke and Dawe - The Front Fell Off" skit XD
It’s 18 months old and falling apart, literally.
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.
Every wankpanzer ever? I had to check it wasn't the onion. It's not the onion.
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.
The side is falling off.
And this time it is indeed typical
This is why we don't make them out of paper, or paper derivatives.
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.
Whislindiesel made short work of one of these cars, absolutely glorious
James did a test drive and he seemed to kind of like it, it was on drive tribe I think.
I would probably like it too if i didn't have to pay for it and keep it and maintain it. These cars aren't on the streets anymore in 10 years. They will never be street legal in a non shit hole country
Based Tesla makes a car that vandalizes itself
This has exposed the sales numbers, and impressively, it's sold even worse than the Fire Phone.
I’m not sure that really says much. I hate swasticars as much as y’all do, but like, $400 phone versus $100K car. Makes sense the fire phone sold better. And I mean, it wasn’t being pushed by a literal Nazi so that helps.
The phone was $650 at launch, carrier-locked to AT&T, and was pushed by Jeff Bezos.
46k trucks sold so far. For comparison, rivian sells about that many of their trucks every year.
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.
The difference with the old trim is that the new one will have a better adhesive assembly and “a stud welded to the stainless panel with a nut clamping the steel panel to the vehicle structure.”
It's a good thing Elon doesn't think "exposed screw heads are cool.". This could have been fixed with a carbide drill bit and some self-tapping screws.
The new models are being fixed by “nut clamping”
Thats absolutely meaningless in the face of steel plates adhered to a plastic frame.
This guy clamps
Can I be added to the recall? 🥹
Only if you take me with you!!
Is this a service rendered to the owners or the vehicles?
“We are not robbers.”
“Ok, you can rub them.”
Ow.
So what i gather is there's probably a readily available solvent to dissolve the glue and make any Swasticar Wankpanzer fall the fuck apart?
You can step up the scale of solvent molecular weights until you find one that gives the desired result, but I'm going to conjecture that regular old acetone will probably be quite sufficient.
It’s called cold weather.
So, liberal use of dry ice FTW?
I can't help but think "Rapid Unscheduled Disassembly" with this news
"The front fell off."
I wonder if those protesters vandalizing Teslas know this is their big opportunity? Insurance companies insuring auto shops are fewer in number and more selective than those serving the general population. If these trucks were damaged while waiting for repairs, we might witness insurance companies altogether dropping coverage for shops. Without insurance these places will find it difficult to continue existing.
I have questions about what auto shops you think are doing recalls because it's only Tesla's service centers are going to be legally allowed to perform the recall (that's how it works for every automaker). So it's the same place they're already going to protest (in most cases) and the same insurance. Regardless, the recall isn't an "insurance thing per se" because Tesla the company is the insurance in this case. They will be footing to bill for any and all repairs done under recall. And more than likely the recalled vehicles won't be sitting around the shop or lot waiting for parts because it's up to consumers who will absolutely take their vehicle and leave if parts aren't in stock.
And nobody who is familiar with how technology companies operate was shocked to hear that the 100k incel camino is literally held together with cheap glue.
Of course. Yet another Tesla recall. In a few months, we will all be here again
This one is different, though. Most of them are just OTA software updates, the physical ones aren't as common. Although I think there was an issue with how they secured the top of the gas pedals on the Cybertruck earlier.
They sprayed lube on the pedal and glue on the cover, the lube caused the glue to fail.
Keep tuned for the first cyber truck spontaneous combustion and the recall for battery concerns
Is this a sketch or a real interview?
Edit. It's a sketch. I was hoping there was a real politician like that lol
You’re wishing for more idiots in this day and age?
Panels on that shit are glued together, so I guess they got ahold of stronger glue.
Elmer's glue mixed with Ketamine
I guess they got ahold of stronger glue.
Only because they wanted to huff it. The panel thing was just a coincidence.
"We have toytota hylux at home"
Toyota hylux at home...
Just send them all to the scrap yard, fucking heaps of junk.
Cheap piece of junk
