Panels on that shit are glued together, so I guess they got ahold of stronger glue.

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.
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?

I can't help but think "Rapid Unscheduled Disassembly" with this news

Cheap piece of junk
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.

Toyota hylux at home...
Of course. Yet another Tesla recall. In a few months, we will all be here again
Keep tuned for the first cyber truck spontaneous combustion and the recall for battery concerns
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.

This has exposed the sales numbers, and impressively, it's sold even worse than the Fire Phone.
I forgot the Fire Phone was a thing.
I will never forget, and I will hold onto my Fire Phones (yes, plural) until the day I die.
Holy fuck they still work? Can you run any modern apps on them? Does the 3D give you a headache?
Updates stopped at a special KitKat-based FireOS version, so most modern apps are likely broken. Dynamic Perspective never gave me a headache - it's actually pretty well implemented - but it does get boring after ten to fifteen minutes.
I think I'll charge one up and see how it's doing!

46k trucks sold so far. For comparison, rivian sells about that many of their trucks every year.
I still can't believe that 46k people are both that stupid and have 100k to spend.

The new models are being fixed by “nut clamping”
Is this a service rendered to the owners or the vehicles?
Ow.
Can I be added to the recall? 🥹
Only if you take me with you!!

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?
I'm not saying it wasn't safe, it just wasn't as safe as the other ones lololol thanks for this
How do I know exactly what video that is without a preview and before clicking the link? 😂🤣
Because the front fell off.
I'd like to say, that's not typical.
Also, apparently the back fell off too...

What a fucking literal rolling dumpster 🤦♂️
Max tongue weight for a Cybertruck is 1100 lbs. They put almost ten times on it before it broke. It was fun, but it's not a valid test.
Incorrect, their listed maximum towing capacity is indeed stated to be 11,000 pounds (4,990 kilograms)
Feel free to check for yourself...
Tongue weight and towing capacity are two different things.
They also explain in the video that you basically have to assume that at times the entire towing capacity load will fall on the tongue weight, like when you hit a pothole or speedbump and your trailer starts rocking back and forth a bit.
Everything might be fine and dandy when the load is more or less balanced on the trailer wheels while parked, but when driving, bumps and shit happen, and that towing tongue, back end of the vehicle, and suspension system better be able to handle it.
Any which way you look at it, the front fell off and the back fell off. All around the dumpstertruck isn't even half worth a shit compared to real work trucks.
Then the video is plain wrong in regards to tongue vs tow weight. No truck or trailer manufacturer anywhere in the world adheres to that.
I commonly tow a triple axle trailer that weighs 12,000 pounds with my GMC Sierra 2500HD. That much weight would snap the receiver off and bend the frame if the hitch had to support it all.
The CT is for clowns but that video is stupid and should be disregarded.
Cyberdump broke, other truck didn't. Same test.
However relevant or not you want to think of it, the results speak for themselves.
