    Every wankpanzer ever? I had to check it wasn’t the onion. It’s not the onion.

    Could this be the worst designed car ever made? I really wish we could have a Top Gear episode on it.

      I mean, how many times have they recalled these same, like, 5,000 trucks? This is at least the third massive recall.

        I’m pretty sure it was on his Gin channel

        I would probably like it too if i didn’t have to pay for it and keep it and maintain it. These cars aren’t on the streets anymore in 10 years. They will never be street legal in a non shit hole country

        Yep. He wasn’t really reviewing the nuts and bolts, just the drive experience. I didn’t get the impression he got a ton of time with it and only spent an afternoon puttering around. It felt below his standard honestly for thoroughness.

    A little over a year ago, a guy tried to ask me out and I’m the process said a few dumb things in an attempt to impress me. The dumbest of them all was that he was planning to buy a Cybertruck as his next vehicle. By the time he’d said this, I’d already long made up my mind about this guy. Mind, this was the period of time when Elon was just an asshole and hadn’t gone full Nazi yet, but even then, this dude’s choice of vehicle told me I’d made the right choice.

    Theseadays I wonder if that guy ever got his idiot truck, and, whether he did or not, if he’s changed his mind about it.

    The new models are being fixed by “nut clamping”

    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.

    Of course. Yet another Tesla recall. In a few months, we will all be here again

      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.

        They sprayed lube on the pedal and glue on the cover, the lube caused the glue to fail.

    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.

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