You're literally the only ones buying them. They aren't even legal in developed countries
I think I remember a quote from Elon, something like: โThere in no one correctly on earth who knows more about manufacturing than meโ
Look how badly the fitment is at that corner near the window and hood. That's waaay off.
Every time I see a Cybertruck, I start getting intrusive thoughts about sharp things under fingernails.
I can't work out what I'm looking at here. Badly made greenhouse? Some sort of giant grill/cooker?
I'm guessing one of Elon's comedy fall apart cars.
โElons comedy fall apart carsโ actually made me laugh out loud. Thatโs what Iโm going to refer to them as from now on.
Well, there's a windshield wiper, it needs a zip tie to keep its shoddy panel secured, and unlike other vehicles it's made of steel that can't get wet. That's how you know it's a Swasticar.
Ah, I see it now! I didn't recognise that thing as a windscreen wiper.
To be fair, "badly made greenhouse" and "some sort of cooker" are still kind of correct :D
Trim piece that is held on by glue, if it fails - panel falls off. Which is suboptimal, as it's a long steel piece
What am I looking at, here? It looks like a glass table or something?
If you are not facetious, this is a Tesla Cybertruck
Unfortunately a bad glass table, as the glass sheet sits on a slope.
You could remove the top panels and put them on a flat frame to make a large functional table, though.
Then you can strip the rest of it down to a powered trolly to use in industry until it burns up, or just recycle the parts.
At is best that panel is held on with some glue. The zip tie is an upgrade.
I don't think Elon got those 10 micron tolerance panel gaps he demanded.
