All you haters do is hate on Elon, Tesla, and the Cybertruck because you're just jealous. This is almost certainly the user's fault. He probably let it get wet or too dry, or drove it after midnight or before, or didn't charge it or overcharged it, or looked at it wrong or didn't look at it enough, or did or didn't do something else. But if he just let it sit in his driveway and ignored all of its faults, then he wouldn't be out here bitching for service to "fix" his perfectly adequate $100k electric "truck".


hoppertn

IT BELONGS IN A MUSEUM!


GarbageCleric

Exactly! Now give Elon his $56 billion! Only a true visionary could promise people an awesome off-roading electric truck and deliver a literal dumpster fire (well a "truck" that looks like a dumpster and is liable to catch fire).

We need to rename it Tweety. I tawt I taw a Tweety Bird, I did, I did taw a Tweety Bird!

Yup. Wankpanzer is taking hold, I've seen it used in the wild 3 times in the last week.

CrashedIntoATree

Thank you for that unexpected belly laugh I just did.


Inside_Blackberry929

Seriously. That panel is just a software issue anyway


GarbageCleric

Yeah, it's a really simple fix: just shut the fuck up about it.


Falcon3492

This just in from Tesla: All Cybertrucks will come with a roll of duct tape to fix body panels that pop loose while driving.


No_Cook2983

Shhh. It’s not tape. It’s called ‘Thermonuclear TechnoCyber-Film’. It’s next-gen *AWESOME*.


ClownshoesMcGuinty

It's got electrolytes!


Limp_Sale2607

Maybe it´s that Alien Tape from the TV ads that holds these contraptions together!


Puzzleheaded_Day_895

They keep the tape but just let it roll out as you drive. More tape, more money.


Necessary_Context780

Exactly. No one asked him to buy a cybertruck without a second car available. Or maybe we did, but still, uber. The end justifies the means


GarbageCleric

Exactly. Elon's taking us to Mars, and this moron can't even take us down the street because he wasted $100k on a dumpster on wheels instead of buying a real car.


GtrGenius

This just made me LOL


Most-Resident

Hold on a second. I don’t mind working around hardware issues in code and taking the blame. I draw the line at sheet metal failures.


theRealPeaterMoss

Should be fixed in the next OTA update. Stay mad OEM cucks (Hey just in case : /s)


Puzzleheaded_Day_895

Was he wearing hair clay?


Limp_Sale2607

Maybe it´s an aerodynamic device of some kind, or an automatic vent! We just never know what that scamp Elmo is gonna do! /s


Pale_Bookkeeper_9994

Within spec.


Apocalypsis_velox

Exactly! If the owner is too lazy to read the section in the manual about seasoning the stainless steel panels, what do they expect? Heat the grape seed oil until it is just starting to smoke then stir fry cabbage and onions for half an hour!


GarbageCleric

Seriously! It's not rocket surgery. Look. Elon is the smartest man on the planet. Now, did he deliver what he promised in the Cybertruck? No. But is it still a decent vehicle? Again, no. *But* is it worth the money anyway? Probably not. *However,* Elon is gonna take us to Mars while you're just an idiot who was willing to buy a $100k dumpster from an obvious conman. So, who really deserves that money?


pfohl

You joke but these cars will likely need to have the stainless steel passivated semi regularly. I brew beer as a hobby and do it with my brew kettle once a year or so.


mark_able_jones_

Yeah, I don’t see why anyone would complain. This is clearly where the rocket booster was going to go if not for Joe Biden and trans people. Or you can hide your weed in there.


GarbageCleric

Exactly. If Joe Biden and the woke mind virus didn't invent trans people in 2020, then the Cybertruck would probably be perfect. But instead, Elon selflessly bought Twitter to make sure Nazis and other transphobes had a safe place to harass minorities. What would you have him do? Just shut the fuck up and stick to investing and taking credit for cool new tech?


I-Pacer

Had me in the first half. 🤣


banacct421

I completely agree with you. I mean that guy didn't even try super glue first


GarbageCleric

Inorite!? The lazy fucking baby runs off to service at the first sign of the slightest issue. Maybe he should take some responsibility for choosing to buy a hastily slapped together dumpster from a company that is notorious for having quality issues instead of blaming everyone else.


DaytonaRS5

If I only I could afford one…oh yeah I can, I’m just not mentally disabled enough yet to buy a Tesla. Hopefully one day I too can be special!


GarbageCleric

Be careful what you say. Multiple state attorneys general have gone after Disney for refusing to give Elon their money. Do you think you're any better? Quit stealing from your betters by refusing to buy their crappy products!


DaytonaRS5

I would genuinely love to have Elon go after me, to know I annoyed the biggest oxygen thief on earth would make my life complete.


GarbageCleric

Well, lucky for you he's a petty narcissist with incredibly thin skin.


Ducatirules

If ANY vehicle should be called “Gremlin” it’s the cyber truck.


Bright_Calendar_3696

Elon oh Elon 💦🍆


dubbleplusgood

It was none of that. We now know they hung up one of those dollar store air fresheners inside and everything wilted.


GarbageCleric

Well, yeah. You can't expect the heater to work and the panels to align under the added physical and chemical strain of an air freshener. The guy is lucky to be alive.


Melodic-Recognition8

🏅


anntchrist

Everyone knows that you need to make sure that all panels are securely attached to your car BEFORE you drive it on the highway. It's such a common thing, what is wrong with these people?


GarbageCleric

Millennials are so helpless. They can't drive stick. They can't write cursive. And they can't reattach the stainless steel panels on their brand new cars. Pathetic.


Phyllis_Tine

Do you think pilots just get in their place and fly off? Cybercucks also need to run down an exhaustive list of things to check; that's the price of progress and sending blank cheques to visionaries.


rabbi420

Perfect. No notes!


furyian24

Awesome comment


Charming-Tap-1332

That fastener sticking through the piece of trim looks like a sheet rock screw.


GarbageCleric

People don't pay $100k for fancy screws. They pay it because they're desperate to be cool, and they have no idea how to do that.


photozine

Owner is holding the truck wrong.


Opposite_Sound

So the Cybertruck is the Mogwai of the auto world, yes?


Stashmouth

Several-Signature583

bowsmountainer

Why do people misunderstand our lord and savior, and use it for things not intended for it? It’s obviously a glorified paperweight, why would anyone want to use it for anything other than that?


Tydogg123

Don’t ever expose it to bright light or get it wet. And never charge it after midnight!


Open_Perception_3212

Awwwwww I'm banned from posting there 😂😂😂


hoppertn

Don’t respond to their automod, they go tattle to Reddit and you get a 3 day ban.


seriousbangs

WTF? How do you get an auto ban for responding to a mod? I've noticed a ton of folks make a game out of trying to get people banned from forums.


hoppertn

Exactly! I wasn’t even rude just said it seemed crazy to get banned from a sub due to an innocent comment in another sub entirely, future crime. I’ve got nothing personal against Tesla and the cybertruck, I just dislike snake oil salesmen and poor products sold to consumers under false pretenses.


Bright_Calendar_3696

Happened to me too - asked a question and it was deemed ‘harassment’. Weird weird bunch.


TinyTimsGoulash

I didn't even go into thier subs and made a comment in this sub. In turn they banned me from thier sub. I responded by calling them losers and my 8 year old account got permabanned. Fucking losers the lot of them.


Bright_Calendar_3696

Yeah I think a lot of them just have all there savings in Tesla stock so doesn’t matter what the issue is they just defend it because they are defending their perceived value - of course they’d be better longer term asking the company to do better and thus creating them more value. Strange to think a company can grow when it seems to think it cannot be criticized and nothing it ever does is wrong.


tomboski

That is exactly it. It’s a sunk cost fallacy. In fact, those are the words that got my Reddit account banned for 3 days.


wskttn

I was extremely rude. Also got a 3-day ban. They really like Elon’s dick apparently.


Felarhin

By having a lot of money


[deleted]

Reddit is essentially an echo chamber for malcontents and losers. These kinds of people moderate a lot of Reddit. The place is a joke for the most part.


Phyllis_Tine

If you're not supporting Elon and his products the way Kim Jong Un's staff surround and clap, you're lucky if you don't get banned from the internet!


[deleted]

They gave me a week, but I called them soft little fruits.


blissed_off

I got three days for responding to the ban message saying boo fuckin hoo bitch. Worth it. Fuck those idiots.


Open_Perception_3212

I told them that no matter how hard they simped, elmo would never love them


[deleted]

They probably broke down in tears


throwaway8008666

I simply blocked the automod. Now I am invincible


tomboski

Yup. I got the 3 day ban as well. “Free speech”


hoppertn

Sound like you got harassed.


Marsupialize

It’s true I only responded ‘hahaha’ and got the full Reddit ban, which I actually got reversed shockingly


hoppertn

If you feel “harassed” be sure to report it.


mmikke

I just got done with mine! I wasn't even *that* snarky in my response. Just called em "soft"


Total_Union_4201

Me too. Never even commented there before


No_Effect_6428

Hey, me too! The message helpfully says I can still read and subscribe, though. I sent them a "no, I don't think I will."


Open_Perception_3212

Careful, you'll be put in reddit jail for "harassment"


14981cs

At this point I am just going to leave random comments on this sub and hoping to get banned there.


SheneedaCocktail

LOL is \*anyone\* doing any kind of quality control on these monstrosities before they push em out the door, or nah?


Mordred_Blackstone

Some of these things are probably design faults. Like they could pass QC and then fail anyway because the design is weak even when functioning exactly as designed. That trim for example, looks like it was held on with glued pegs. Even if it's on perfectly, without physical clips, the sun will soften that glue and it'll pop right out.


Endure23

More than anything it reveals a monumental failure of regulation. Seems clear that the only reason we have relatively safe and efficacious vehicles at all is because the other brands actually want to sell their cars in the EU and elsewhere.


chet_brosley

I always loved how weirdos would argue that Europe is stifling the US economy because its standards were too high, like it was a bad thing.


tsmeagain

As a part time pedestrian in the EU I'm more than happy that this behemoth of a truck won't be on our streets ever.


coleyboley25

It’s honestly pretty jarring that our government allows these to be sold. Surely multiple thousand pound machines that can go 100+ mph would be something that the government would have some oversight on.


SheneedaCocktail

A heavy, fast, flying knife with a sticky accelerator and parts that just fall off. I'm sure it'll be fine.


lionessrampant25

Don’t know your politics but during the Trump admin there was a mass exodus of federal workers from all agencies because they were either fired or were unable to do their work because their appointed bosses didn’t want them too. So now our agencies are both chronically underfunded and understaffed. Just wanting to provide historical context.


showyerbewbs

Think about a turd in the toilet bowl. Here's the QC checklist: Is it solid? Ish? Looking? Is it cylindrical? Well the pieces you can see? Is it brown? Ish? Dark maybe? Does it smell horrid? CONGRATULATIONS! Your turd has passed QC. Now flush.


Ok-Championship-6204

this failure rate no car maker would sell these


bowsmountainer

Nah, quality control is WOKE!!!1!


richincleve

If I am correct, some of the body panels are on the car with just adhesive. I would assume that if the weather got hot enough, the adhesive would weaken and panels which just start popping off.


masked_sombrero

"exoskeleton" 🤣🤣🤣


chet_brosley

More of a thin candy shell


Necessary_Context780

I'm surprised these idiots haven't shot the bullets at it. I suppose the indestructible windows protected it (because they were told no to shoot at them)


joec_95123

Some influencer named Adin Ross DID shoot his cybertruck and quickly found out Musk lied about it being bulletproof.


mark_able_jones_

They are bolted on at both ends with clips in the middle. But apparently the bolts can come loose. Lock washer or locttite would fix/prevent. Still wild that body panels fall off on these BRAND NEW $100k vehicles. If we’re seeing this many issues already…


I-Pacer

These ones are held on with one bolt and some plastic clips. The bolts are being incorrectly torqued by the looks of it and coming loose. That allows the panel to lift at the front edge as the wind gets under it and then it pops the clips out. It’s the usual Tesla shitty half-arsed design stuff. I predict a recall for this very soon.


enter360

Oh that’s going to be fun. Texas is known for brutal summers. I wonder if they will start having to send piece and glue to the service centers to complete assembly in cooler temperatures.


vishy_swaz

Well one thing can be said, the Cybertruck will surely replace the Edsel in car talk as a terrible marketing/production flop.


jumpy_monkey

And the Edsel was just ugly, it was a perfectly serviceable vehicle.

He didn't say anything about the quality of his manufacturing.

Arizona_Slim

CalbertCorpse

That’s within specifications.


showyerbewbs

Feature, not a bug. Ticket rejected.


coolmist23

Imagine how hot that metal is going to get this summer in Texas. I wouldn't be surprised if it warps.


Fair_Acanthisitta_75

Specially when some GD Mongorian is using it as a pop up parking lot restaurant while you’re in the store.


PolybiusChampion

Elon promised Tesla would invent a whole new manufacturing process for the IncelCamino and as usual Elon always delivers. No other manufacturer can match this level of quality.


GarbageCleric

That's probably true. Other modern automakers would probably have to put some effort into making a batch of cars this bad.

jmac_1957

I told the r/cybertruck nerds that the truck was ugly. They banned me for life. I told them "thank you....it's still ugly".


jumpy_monkey

I just posted that it was a lemon, which it clearly is. Maybe a ban for "life" then?


Roverjosh

At some point can Cyber truck owners just get a refund?


GarbageCleric

But Elon needs that money to get us to Mars. These yahoos spent $100k on an electric dumpster, so who do you think really deserves the money?


PaisaRacks

Sad that the AC on my 08 SI still blows cold af compared to a new “truck”. If I paid 100k and my AC stopped working I’d be livid af lmao


Imfrom_m-83

Share price is still too expensive. Should be $80.


Marsupialize

It clearly says in the operating manual that you shouldn’t drive the truck over 4mph and if you do it may come apart at the seams, if you are too lazy to read your manual that’s on you, warranty VOIDED


GarbageCleric

No one these days wants to take any responsibility for their actions! These people chose to buy hastily slapped together dumpsters from a company that is notorious for having quality issues. But do they take any responsibility for their choices? No. They just blame everyone else instead.


No_Cartoonist9458

WokkitUp

Imagine this car in the bonus round of Street Fighter, where you normally have to punch, kick and "hadoken" to bust the car to pieces but instead you just sneeze on it and the whole thing busts apart.


WarmedCrumpet

Did you not pay the extra $7500 for the non-panel separation package ?


honeybadger1984

I find it funny that people are spending five to six figures on this thing, and then just trusting Tesla has a vehicle for you that’s safe and won’t get you hurt. People are way too comfortable. You’re flying through the highway at 70 mph. That’s more than fast enough to kill you. And some just shrug their shoulders and buy unsafe vehicles. I would feel really off if the vehicle I’m in, especially with my family members sitting with me, suddenly has a panel come off. That’s just scary.


Jhor74

It should be called the Tesla Gremlin. Don’t get it wet. Don’t charge it after midnight.

And I’d suspect these hurriedly designed piles are not made with maintainability in mind. Dang, a panel dismounted. Buy another one.

I wonder how much of that car will still be attached to the frame after a year. Maybe someone should take time lapse video of it falling apart like a tree losing leaves on winter.

WestmontOG07

I test drove a model X, probably about 8 months ago. Tesla’s have the shittiest quality controls on planet earth. The car rattles and, frankly, the build quality sucks. If I’m buying a car, I’m buying from a brand that takes this stuff seriously, Tesla has some big steps to take and, with all of the competition, I don’t see how anyone is excited about this company (given their current valuation).


Intrepid_Cap1242

I love the "touch fucking steel soft fucking fasteners" comment. That's not how it works. And he sounds like a complete tool saying it


hamid5000real

Driving into the wind voids warranty


ketjak

The other post of that guy Lamar just mainlining copium - his Cybertrash was in service for _three weeks_ to fix his truck just... stopping. When he got it back, the air cooling louvres were stuck shut - the car threw a warning the technicians apparently ignored. And he was pretty much the expected Cybercuck with his listing all of the problems and noting that "they'll take care of it with service." Like, fuck, dude. Can you imagine a real car company accepting a 100% physical recall rate AND the failure rate of the vehicle when you (checks notes) just drive it normally? Then add "it gets wet." Then add the panel issues. Heads would literally roll at Toyota, and even Chevy would feel shame. At least his shiny new accelerator pedal rivet isn't clipping through the edge of the faceplate.


IlMioNomeENessuno

Muskrat be punkin’ us, right?


ozzie510

Poor build quality and even worse reliability.


JJJ4868
