The stainless steel body of Tesla’s Cybertruck is reportedly leading to issues with gaps in between the panels::The Cybertruck’s steel is made in “coils that resemble giant rolls of toilet paper,” WSJ reported.
You mean the thing everyone said was going to happen actually happened. Lmao
The regular Tesla cars have inconsistent panel gaps already, I feel this is a production issue, not a material issue.
Watch what happens when people eventually discover what completely flat panels of sheet metal do in heavy wind.
There is literally a reason why no other auto manufacturer uses flat body panels on cars.
I truly applaud the attempt to radically innovate, from stainless steel to eliminate car rust (how much of it truly is stainless, mechanically speaking?), to major aesthetical design overhaul (even though it does not appeal to me at all). With so much innovation, delays ought to be expected
That being said, everything else is just atrocious. Production issues are blamed on unexpected delays because of innovation and vice versa. It just screams project mismanagement. This thing should’t have been revealed at all. Also, why the fuck does this have bullet proof glass? A truck for the apocalypse? Are they trying to sell an APC? Who asked for any of that?
The oligarchs are preparing for the apocalypse they’re bringing about themselves. This is the car they’ll be driving through the rubble.
Should have taken a closer look at DMC…
At least the Delorean actually looked cool and had some style
Looked? Thing still is awesome looking!
I wasn’t using past tense to imply it no longer looks good. I used it because the car is no longer in production.
Chill it was a joke m8
Okay? I know my tone in text isn’t always what I intended but I’m confused what in my reply suggested I need to “chill”
Ya don’t gotta be so literal man, tis all. I knew what ya ment. It was just supposed to be a funny snarky comment
Panel gaps are just a ubiquitous feature of a Tesla. This isn’t a surprise, and the apologists will say it’s no big deal.
You should see the videos of model Y owners (a model they’ve had many iterations on) roll down their window during rain to get a drive through order and the water pours into the open window directly onto the, you guessed it, button console used to open/close the window and DOOR. I’m sure that won’t eventually cause problems. With OPENING THE DOOR.
And it’s not just falling rain, it literally channels rain from the glass roof directly into any open window. It’s hilarious.
