Two weeks after taking possession of the vehicle, his Cybertruck malfunctioned on the road, displaying multiple error messages. This ordeal is documented on his YouTube channel.
I find his suffering amusing.
i mean. Seriously. who shells out that kinda dough for the downpayment on a vehicle that wasn’t even in production, by a company as shitty and inexperienced in truck-making as Tesla; whose car line has (almost) always been plagued by shitty QC… ???
Like I don’t know that I’d worry too much about buying a car- even a new model-design- from a reputable car maker (Toyota, Honda. Subaru. you know people who have… a certain kind of reputation…)
The truck is so ridiculously over engineered it makes the Teslas seem pragmatic. it’s so heavy that it can’t even take a normal off road loading, or it’s suspension craps out. it can’t go off road, can’t hill climb. the truck-bed in the back is practically inaccessible. The thing was designed for asthetics- and those asthetics have more in common with a 5 yo’s conception drawn in crayon on the back of a napkin than an actual vehicle; and the form-over-function approach has severely crippled the thing.
Oh. and they didn’t even give it a clear coat. so. you know. that overpriced scrap metal is going to rust.
(actually, I’m a bit surprised scrappers are stripping it already…)
Even with reputable car makers it’s always better to wait until they’re a few years in so they’ve worked out the worst issues.
Buying a car before it’s even finished is really only a thing you do with exclusive supercars, and in that market you know you’re going to spend a fortune maintaining the car going in.
