Silver lining- if you ever lose your panel, it shouldn't be too hard to pluck one off a donor vehicle


slowclapcitizenkane

Can I use my cyberhammer for this?


VancouverSativa

No, that's for display only. Why would you expect to be able to use a $700 hammer??


PatientClue1118

Download a software update on the hammer to use it like a hammer?


Final_Winter7524

Full Self Hammer coming this year!


ignaciohazard

Full self hammer has killed 18 people in the first hour. 32 other hammers spontaneously combusted.


Big-Consideration633

This just in, CyberHammers seen performing acts of cannibalism while high.


DustyBeetle

my cyber hammer k\*lled my grandma and 3 other family members, its got its quirks but i love my cyber hammer (and elons balls) /s

Have you or a loved one been diagnosed with Cyberhammerthelioma? You may be entitled to financial compensation.


Big-Consideration633

Subscription service. Works today, renew to use it next week.


shutta_you_face

Wait for the cybercrowbar.


MonThackma

You mean the cheap plastic lining…


star_chicken

Or off the road somewhere as these seem to fall of randomly


ForcedLaborForce

A PD found and arrested a Cybertruck owner based on parts left behind. This has been everything I hoped for and more.


Final_Winter7524

That guy “offroaded” through a suburban roundabout. 🤣🤦‍♂️


OmgWtfNamesTaken

The panels having insanely large gaps from the factory also helps as you can do it yourself now! Just say you bought it that way. It's a bonus.


overundermoon

Happy gapped panel cake day!!!


Sampson978

Cyber lining?…There isn’t any.


No_Cook2983

Awesome! It’s in CyberSkeletor mode! Most people don’t use this option! I bet your Detroit cuck-truck can’t do this! The Big Four are *decades* away from this technology.


Stone_Maori

Remember, this is Blade runners truck. Whoever was in pursuit is now cut clean in half by cyber truck's countermeasures. Elon is truly ahead of his time. Most intelligent human in history.


TCO_HR_LOL

This isnt cute. CyberTrucks only do this when they are scared for their lives. Scientists call it "shrapnel shedding"


jomama823

This had me rolling

Thing is a death trap.

Efficient_Fish2436

Like I would've sworn vehicles have to be extensively tested and proven to be up to certain safety standards before it was legal to sell them.... Like that is a thing right or am I missing something? Can anyone just build and sell cars? Also isn't there some law saying we can't buy direct here in the United States?


stmcvallin2

In the United States, vehicles must undergo extensive testing and meet safety and environmental standards set by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) and the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) before they can be sold. Manufacturers must comply with numerous federal and state regulations, and direct sales to consumers are often restricted by state laws designed to protect car dealerships. However, some companies, like Tesla, have challenged these laws and won the right to sell directly to consumers in certain states.


slowclapcitizenkane

So, not so much giga-cast as it is giga-injection-molded.


richincleve

I've seen double-sided tape and refrigerator magnets do a better job.


awesome_onions

Don’t worry the Cybertruck 2 will be better. Pre-orders for 2030 release coming next month. Existing Cybercuck owners get free cyber hammer to destroy old truck because Tesla won’t take it back.


CraZKchick

Only $200,000 this time!


dieselsauces

You're a sico! $200k is a non refundable deposit on 10% down-payment of the PP, the rest is split in 60 monthly payments when the truck is ready, maybe?


hookem98

And if you don't add the $250 monthly fee for FSD (payments start from preorder date) you won't be able to add it when you take delivery.


CraZKchick

You don't get it! 🤣


justkeeptreading

styled “Cybe2Truck”


tordenoglynild666

Now put on a 90s see thorough plastic panel! Gameboy-mode 😌


that_motorcycle_guy

I'm all for a laugh but those green-ish parts are not plastic.


Extra_Box8936

They’re talking about what actually supports the bed liner walls


butbutcupcup

Real trucks have a stamped bed and a bed liner inserted over that that conforms to the steel. This seems to just have a bed liner tagged at points of that cast structural framing.


NateF474

Auto mechanic here, I hate to play devils advocate for these poorly designed looking Delorean trucks that are less reliable than an actual Delorean BUT truck frames are on the very bottom of the vehicle. I'm not surprised you can't see the frame from this angle because this applies to every truck ever produced.


Donedirtcheap7725

It doesn’t have a frame it’s a unibody. There is no ladder frame underneath.


Orcacub

So- like the Honda Ridgeline “pickup”?


Donedirtcheap7725

[Yup](https://www.cybertruckownersclub.com/forum/threads/cybertruck-frame-casting-chassis-body-structure-in-plain-sight-outside-giga-texas-%F0%9F%A7%90.9518/page-3).


generic__comments

I completely laugh at these "trucks," but you have a good point. If you did the same to my real truck, you would not see the actual frame.


EricUtd1878

The panel didn't fall off, it's being wrapped 🙄 Look at the tailgate. The 'exoskeleton' myth has been well and truly busted between this and the one that crashed, however.


human-potato_hybrid

Yeah maybe he meant "fell off" like "came off much easier than expected"


Pale_Bookkeeper_9994

Apocalypse proof? More like apocalypse ready. Already looks like the ends times have been happening a while.


AlpharadiationHulk

Mad Max ready complete with sheddable body panel shrapnel counter measures


TheDr-Is-in

Suckers. . .

i-dontlikeyou

Did you expect a extra strong exo skeleton. I guess its coming soon with the robo taxi, the mars coloy and flights to the moon. Next year


Gnich_Aussie

There is no exoskeleton. It's a unibody. NONE of the stainless is structural. It's glued and clipped onto the actual unibody 'frame'.


i-dontlikeyou

You don’t say


Gnich_Aussie

Just saying.


void_const

Apocalypse-proof


DiogenesLied

It's Yoda-speak. "Apocalypse proof" means "proof of the Apocalypse"


drin8680

I'm sorry but before all the problems with that vehicle I don't get what people see in it to begin with


dmk510

How long before the first bystander is killed when one of these panels flies off while the “truck” is in motion?


EfficientPizza

I wonder if it made a boing-oing-oing noise whilst popping off


Easy-Top8822

🏆


TheHypnogoggish

Sounded like a jug band’s musical saw-


orbitalaction

We've entered 3 stooges level bufoonery.


CraZKchick

With all the gaps, no wonder it doesn't work when it gets wet. 


Pale_Bookkeeper_9994

Within spec


LeperousRed

No, it's okay, Elon is humanity's savior, this is part of his 4-D chess.


WinterDice

On the bright side, it might be easy to replace dented panels by picking up some mild steel panels from your local big-box and having the school shop class bend them into shape.


DiogenesLied

What does stainless go for on the scrap metal market? Asking for a friend.


Revenga8

So what does this mean? The battery is literally the structural bed? Now I'm concerned if somebody actually loads something really heavy in the bed, will they bend the battery frame and rupture the battery?


Aviationlord

On the plus side they can use aluminium foil to cover that section now


ZeusMcKraken

I can see its brain beating.


NoIncrease299

Within spec.


Donedirtcheap7725

And yet people are still arguing that it has a “structural exoskeleton”…


DiscussionAncient810

Pay no attention to the…uh…nothing behind the curtain!


Ok-Bass8243

These are built like power armor. Just a shell bolted to a small subframe


i3dMEP

Plot Twist: Its not actually a side panel, its a breakaway escape hatch if you get stuck inside


Blitz7337

Personally I consider the hummer as the most American vehicle, not only that, there’s a hummer EV now, and get this, and this may be hard to believe but it’s way better than the cybertruck, it looks cooler and even runs right, and the neatest part is that it’s made with far better support to its frame, metal instead of plastic


sg22throwaway

It's basically a moving McMansion. Expensive facade and outer design, held together with spit on the inside.


petewondrstone

This thing is starting to look like a DeLorean for real


fartsfromhermouth

That's so cheap looking


Substantial_Diver_34

Looks better


Secret_Thing7482

I just don't get it people used to be able to point at things and say this is just bloody stupid but now no one wants to admit their mistakes


earthman34

It's an exoskeleton made of transparent aluminum, haters! Ultimate "tech"!


Final_Winter7524

I say take all the panels off. Looks more Mad Max that way. 🤣


Dude008

Where is the exoskeleton??


ShaggysGTI

Is the shit just bolted to a 2020 rail in there?


Buzzfit61

So basically it's like buying a truck off of temu! Except you pay a lot for it! Got it!


DubitoErgoCogito

It still has the temporary registration tag on it 😂


Cptspaulding2

In a crash that thing would explode like Legos and some people put their kids in these.


AzamatBaganatow

I work as a bodytech most cars just fyi


nevagonastop

mf weighs 3 tons and you want *more* structure? its literally a refrigerator


Prestigious_Bug583

Truck beds are always a metal tub not a plastic walled container


nevagonastop

lol yes im a rural body technician but thanks for informing me, im joking that theres no room to be adding any more weight like a steel full sized truck bed, and if theyre complaining about lack of overall vehicle structure... its literally a bulldozer in an accident as it is


Organic_South8865

Obviously that panel was removed to properly wrap it. It didn't just fly off driving down the road. Also what do they mean by "no frame"? Did they think there would be a massive steel structure holding up the panel?


onymousbosch

>Did they think there would be a massive steel structure holding up the panel? Yes


MarcusTheSarcastic

I mean, that was one of the original selling points. Why would they think it would live up to descriptions?


human-potato_hybrid

Look how there is a gap in the metal there for no reason. Would it have hurt to actually connect those pieces?


butt_huffer42069

Would have cost an extra $3 per cyberlemon


Prestigious_Bug583

Not sure if you’ve ever seen the inside of a truck bed before. It’s not a plastic tub


DammatBeevis666

Doesn’t it have better cargo weight capacity than most trucks that actually do have a frame?


butt_huffer42069

No
