Did they build it out of the fabled Chinesium?
What? How?!
Edit: looked it up. Both wheels just kinda… broke off on their own? https://www.torquenews.com/1084/tesla-cybertruck-owner-says-my-wheel-flew-while-im-driving-highway-its-so-weird-its-concerning/
In Phony Stark language:
Concerning… 🤔
This suggests absolute dogshit alloy being used or QC just not existing, not surprising.
If only those idiots wouldn’t be on public roads. Cars are already one of the most dangerous thing in the US. No need to add even more deadly metal boxes everywhere.
Yeah, but we don’t do shit about it, so as a society, it’s okay.
We should be doing things like…
Have adequate public transport so that bad drivers have an alternative means of transportation.
Impose harsher penalties for dangerous behavior on the road.
Require a higher degree of driver training in order to obtain a license.
Cybertruck warranty does not cover driving on uneven surfaces? What?
There’s a lot of stupid shit that voids the warranty.
For example; using the built in power inverter, which is advertised as a power station for camping/work sites, to power anything at all while stationary, voids the batteries warranty.
I feel like that should disqualify it from being called a truck. Based on my commuting this week, the only place it might be under warranty would be a well maintained runway.
They make everything using cast aluminium at Tesla. One of worst types of alloys where you expect durability as it’s terrible with metal fatigue. It tends to snap instead of bend.
It seems like every component on this thing is a sacrificial anode or fusible link at the mercy of its objectively powerful powertrain. Just a matter of time until the raw torque or BHP finds yet another weak link to obliterate.
At least, this was my takeaway from the cybertruck assessment I watched on YT.
Completely unrelated to your comment, but I love your name. Black Mesa reference?
