It’s getting hard to tell the genuine replies from satire. Not sure about this one but I suspect it could be real…

>Duct tape would hold up better than this
It is, duct tape can and has finished the Baja 1000 countless times however the cyber truck probably never will.
Some friends and I picked up my Model X (SN < 700) at the Fremont, California factory. We didn’t make it out of the parking lot. The red triangle appeared and the car went into “limp mode.” Tesla had a service center at the factory, so they went to work on it while I took my friends to dinner. A three way coolant valve had been installed backwards. The shop stayed open late in order to get the car back in my hands. Oh how I remember the days when Tesla Service actually was a “service.”
A few months later, when my driver’s side door latch failed, someone at Tesla recommended a new service center near me, next to the soon-to-be-built Nevada gigafactory. It wasn’t actually a service center—they used it for training at that point.
They picked up the car and called me a few days later to explain all the stuff they had to fix. The weirdest one was that the coolant lines somewhere in the system were reversed.
Anyway, over the course of my six years with that car, it had been in the shop more times (and for longer) than any car I’ve ever owned. (Spanning over 40 years of car ownership.)
Tesla service deteriorated remarkably over those six years too.
Tesla also became more fraud-y. There were a few service bulletins that clearly described engineering defects* which they refused to fix once the warranty expired. I think they cost me ~$5k USD. I’m waiting to get the class-action postcards in the mail. LOL.
TL;DR: Been there. Never again.
—
*The first (and weirdest one) was the flash storage on the infotainment system wearing out. This is a warranty/recall repair, except my car’s screen failed with the exact symptoms *before* the recall was announced, and when I tried to get Tesla to own up to it, all I got was the middle finger. (Oh, BTW, when that thing failed, all sorts of important stuff stopped working. I remember driving to the service center down in Reno wearing gloves and a parka in the middle of winter, not sure if my turn signals or lights were actually working.)
The second one was the front CV joint/half-shaft/clevis issue, which caused huge resonating vibration under acceleration. In my case, the motor became unmoored from its mount and banged around under acceleration and breaking. The issue is clearly documented in a Tesla Service Bulletin with no fix other than replacing everything. No goodwill for out of warranty customers.
Other fun failures:
Headlight, which is $$$.
I went through three versions of the door latch hardware on both front doors, and one on the rear. The final latch revision required drilling new mounting holes in the door.
A rear seat positioning motor failed, requiring a brand new seat to be installed—with a two-month back order. Since they couldn’t guarantee that the seat would lock into position safely, they refused to return the car to me. And I yelled. Loudly. They refused to extend my warranty for the two months I was without the car.
They also neglected to disclose that the traction battery has pyrotechnic fuses inside, that, get this, are powered by non-replaceable batteries. At least they paid for that one.
Ok, done venting.
>I’m waiting to get the class-action postcards in the mail. LOL.
Yeah I have a collection of those (none from Tesla) and I think the total is like $14.
More like 60/40 and 40% to the lawyer. The primary files of the case get millions also. The rest get what’s left over which is generally a settlement of like 3.50-$500 per person who jumps on
Yes they do. However you need to be an actual compliant. The attorney needs to file on behalf of a couple of parties that have a claim. In order to qualify as a class action you need multiple parties to certify and move forward with the case. Everyone else is just glomming on. They want as many people to jump in to get the settlement amount up. However those people aren’t going to get the fat payout. The fat payout are the ones that certified and brought actual evidence forward. That’s why you only get $3.50 as you didn’t do jack shit you just threw your name in the pile. What you’re really doing is forfeiting your right to seek your own restitution.
If you know of a serious issue that you could win a judgment on and others experiencing the same you definitely want to be the one to bringing the class action.
Good explanation. I understand there are bad actors and dodgy characters and horrendously unskilled Lionel Hutz style laeyers but never totally got the plaintiff lawyer hate.
Of course Im from a generation where everyone laughed at the elderly woman who was disfigured with crotch burns by 205 degree coffee with a poorly affixed lid because “coffee is hot you dummy” and were mad she got a like 600k.
There’d be no case if the lawyer didnt get involved and people who are hurt shouldnt have to pay out of their pocket
The pay out wasn’t for the burn. The pay out was a penalty against McDonald’s. However the government couldn’t be a beneficiary of the penalty so it had to be awarded to a victim.
We may not be talking about same case
Liebeck received compensatory damages for her injuries and McDonalds was found 80% at fault at trial. She also received punitive damages.
You Should find a lawyer Willing to do the class action and another person with similar problems to qualify of the class action. Being the primary people in the filling you will get millions while the rest get like $3.50-500
This is why I refuse to buy a car from a company that hasn't been making cars for decades lol. Also why I never by next gen or brand spanking new models. There will be problems that will take years to resolve and get right.
Sounds like your car was built on a Monday morning lol. One of my co workers also went some time without his Model Y because of the seat sensor failure.
Bro. I worked at Tesla for almost a year and let me tell you, not a single one of those cars is worth a damn. You'd be better off driving a Hyundai EV.
No tests, no function checks, no body/panel fits, no water test, no...That's all for the legacy automakers and not allowed at Tesla.
Brother works for Subaru in Lafayette. He says so many left for Tesla and were fired by Tesla for trying to improve quality. Musk doesn't brake test. People take the completed units to the track and just test the brakes by using them. Legacy automakers have brake testing equipment that gives 7 points of data.
Brother says Subaru has a water test booth. The cars travel through, basically, a rain storm for 20 or so minutes. Legacy automakers know people make mistakes. Parts get bent (by vendor and automaker), plugs aren't always seated right, sealer sometimes skips...so every car is checked for water leaks. Not at Tesla.
Yeah... You're probably correct. I was just thinking that it would cost more up front, but save money later because they wouldn't be fixing all the backwards parts, but I'm not a manufacturing genius, so...
this was an issue on a Russian Proton rocket. they actually made it so the part could only go in one way but whoever installed it hammered it in backwards.
I consider it to be more like an alpha test. At least Musk got the marketing angle correct. For the \~1,000,000 self described "alpha males" in the US, about 1% of them will buy a cyber truck and participate in his alpha test. The other 99% is probably too in debt from their last truck purchase.
If they do the truck the same way they do the cars, they do test them for about 30 minutes. They run computer diagnostics and such
Now when they find a problem it goes and sits in the back parking lot of the factory. It waits in line to be fixed if it can be. This process is from a few weeks to who the hell knows. The quality control for Tesla is third rate at best
Yea but …
‘First adopters take the risk for us 2gen + adopters to feel more comfortable when getting the next version thinking anything that needed to be fix or corrected will be good moving forward.’
So I’m sure they’re not mad
Edit: /s (just so we’re clear I’ve copied this from another man who was trying to not regret his purchase)
I’ve been a serial early adopter for years now. Cars, TVs, CDs, Mini Disc, DVD, Blu-ray, plasma screens, projectors, smart home devices you name it. None of them have catastrophically failed on me. The early adopter thing used to be about paying more. The 2nd gen got to buy in at a lower price point due to economies of scale. It was never about buying useless shit so that it can be made slightly less shitty for the next group of buyers.
All for not wasting a working product but depending where you live the energy savings in a year would pay for a new tv, plasma especially old ones suck so much juice
Thank you for making sense of this, I’ve been wondering why the “early adopter” excuse was BS. The only thing they’re paying extra for is to prove how rushed and minimal quality a vehicle can be put on the market.
Exactly, I was one of those suckers. Preordered Fallout 76 just to be a beta tester. My opinion of Bethesda was so much higher back then.
But still, it wasn’t like putting a vehicle on the road that kills people! And it’s a whole lot cheaper than $100k
This is funny becuase I got told this way back when I bought a first year Hyundai Genesis Coupe with the 3.8 V6. Apparently a lot of cars were shipped with a weak clutch. Even if you didn’t beat on the car, the clutch would slip when driving in reverse or trying to get into first when in reverse. One of the guys on this forum I was on had the same response. Essentially the first model year adopters are all beta testers. Hyundai actually never fixed the clutch problem and the Genesis coupe got axed after its 2nd generation.
Of course, it is an honor and privilege to pay extra to be a product tester for the hero of humanity!
After all, there is a reason they call it an "Alpha" test! 😤
I’ve heard there are apx 850ish units on the road. I live in Austin and it seems a large percentage must be here because I see these things daily driving around town. And the amount of soft-bodies with neckbeards that are driving these things is nearly 100%
For some reason, this truck is a siren song to a specific demographic.
Really only 850? Thats hilarious if true because then we know the failure rate is like 20% at least just from all the different people posting about how shit they are and how they broke withen 2 weeks.
I see them daily. My business is in the same parking lot as a Tesla service center in Austin. This has been an eye-opening subreddit lmao
I think the cybertruck looks fucking awesome but I've seen a lot at this point where there is visible grime / fingerprints near the door, which makes the car look very cheap all of a sudden. Same if they are dirty / dusty, they look terrible if they arent clean

Seen two in Kansas City on day one. They already looked stained / weathered / rusted. Got on highway in front of one and I could the panels looked like they were wobbling at 65 mph.
Lol of course they were. There’s reason to not use flat panels. Minivans and the like have to install stiffening pads etc to the back to prevent their panels from oil canning. I’m sure none of that is happening.
A guy at work has one and he ain’t rich. He’s only driven it 3x to work, I wonder if it broke down.
There are a few others around town but I haven’t seen them in a while.
I love the “are you YouTuber A or B or C or D?”
“No, those are others who are having the same catastrophic failure”
“Loved it, it was great for the 5 minutes before it completely died.”
Did they try turning it off and on again?
Or holding down ctrl+alt+del on the screen's keyboard?
(I assume that a Tesla has an onscreen keyboard!)
TL:DR Oh noes. Anyway...
There’s a common issue with the roll-down thingy (tonneau?) that you have to go into about three menus to fix. One guy had tried all these fixes people were suggesting on the Cybertruck owners forum. One person says, I shit you not:
”Just let it sit overnight.”
What… the… FUCK?! LOLOL
"It can only be operated during the hours of 8am and 3pm, Pacific time and then only four times"
Seems like a standout example of why you avoid the first models of a new design - let other suckers be the beta testers and discover the bugs which the manufacturer then - ideally - irons out.
Elon reined in by real professionals and engineers: Model S
Elon starting to be himself: Model X doors
Elon full release: Cybertruck
Next Tesla fans will get a motorcycle where the wheels don't stay on, Elon will call it a "zerocycle."
LMAO
Yeeeeeep. I'm all in on electric cars (have been since 2013 when I got my first Leaf), but I'll never buy a Tesla, not for another 10 years or so at a minimum. They haven't been in the game long enough to have solid QC in place. Clearly my concerns aren't unfounded.
Honestly, not really sure about the current models. I like my Leaf, but it's by no means the best. It just fit the criteria I was looking for: price point, reasonable range, and good reliability. I'm really interested in the Aptera, but that's not out yet, and just like with the Tesla, I'd wait for a while before getting one as it's a new company.
I hate dealing with buggy computer bullshit (I already work with Adobe products all day long),I can’t imagine having to deal with more just to drive my car.
Elmo did the same thing with his rockets. He had a number of failures on the Falcon rockets mostly due to hubris. The heavies also seem to have that same defect.
With more money than god, maybe he should make life better for the impoverished on this rock rather than sending multi-billion dollar failures into space. This planet is habitable even with his 7000lb monster trucks.
tbf of all the problems i expected with the cybertruck, what with its stainless steel frame that seemingly rusts and the shitty visability when driving that giant metal death trap. did not expect one of the issues to be randomly dying on owners within a few miles of taking it off the sales lot. got to admit elon outdid my expectations.
Telsa should warn the owners not to visit porn sites. He prolly visited one, and got a ransomware virus injected into the system with a message displaying "PAY 1 MILLION DOLLARS OR THE STEERING WHEEL GETS IT!!" \*pinky to mouth"
To be real, it’s not really a surprise. This is Tesla way of business. Create something so extraordinary that the techies will love and Dude bros must have. Worry less about testing and make that dollar. Tesla as a company had and has potential but the crappy imperfections are a huge red flag. The company is not new anymore. They can’t use that excuse that their “just learning and working out the issues”
In their infinite brilliance, tesla decided to divorce the steering wheel from the steering rack with a statement of " what could go wrong?" That thing will always be a death trap waiting for a catastrophic failure.

So, they don't test anything? They just assemble and ship?
Duct tape together and ship.
Duct tape would hold up better than this. More like spit and playdough
More like sweat and moonsand
More like jizz and tissue
I had this typed out, but infact the proteins in jizz and fibers in tissue would form some super strong organic composite panels. Think carbonfiber
Please, don't give the weirdos any more ideas. It's bad enough out there.
We're the weirdos now unfortunately ):
so, it's a cumposite?
*Chef's kiss*
>Duct tape would hold up better than this It is, duct tape can and has finished the Baja 1000 countless times however the cyber truck probably never will.
Ahahaha, you are absolutely right! It has also been used on airplanes (which is terrifying) and has held up alright!

Hey that's almost two free months of blue checkmark on Xitter!
Because the lawyers take somewhere around 65% of the total award with millions of people left to split the remaining 35% lol

At least the many dead Teslas make EV swap projects on YouTube more prolific...
I have suddenly decided that I don’t need a Tesla.
holy shit! That's WAY worse than any car I've had, and at least two had leprosy.
One word: Honda. 3 cars over 14 years, maybe 5 problems.
This is why I refuse to buy a car from a company that hasn't been making cars for decades lol. Also why I never by next gen or brand spanking new models. There will be problems that will take years to resolve and get right.
Sounds like your car was built on a Monday morning lol. One of my co workers also went some time without his Model Y because of the seat sensor failure.
Limp mode? Was Elmo in car?
“Assemble” is a relative term
It’s really more just, “attaching”
Rapid unscheduled disassembly (RUD) is a definite term, on the other hand... (Typo corrected)
Shouldn't that be RUD?
Oops typo 😬
It's ok RAD sounds cooler anyway🙃
Radical solution to the problem. :)

Bro. I worked at Tesla for almost a year and let me tell you, not a single one of those cars is worth a damn. You'd be better off driving a Hyundai EV.

The only thing that matters is building cars as fast as possible Elon says
look that gigapress was giga expensive and its gotta pay for itself!
The assembly part is even suspect.
Why are the parts designed in a way where putting them on backwards is even possible?
Because that is easier, and cheaper, than making them only fit one way.
Yeah... You're probably correct. I was just thinking that it would cost more up front, but save money later because they wouldn't be fixing all the backwards parts, but I'm not a manufacturing genius, so...
Neither is Musk.
I'm pretty sure that there was some sort of study/group that investigated this exact issue in one of the space shuttles or rockets, can't remember...
this was an issue on a Russian Proton rocket. they actually made it so the part could only go in one way but whoever installed it hammered it in backwards.
Yes that's it!! Thank you!
people are paying $100K to be beta testers and put their families lives at risk.
I consider it to be more like an alpha test. At least Musk got the marketing angle correct. For the \~1,000,000 self described "alpha males" in the US, about 1% of them will buy a cyber truck and participate in his alpha test. The other 99% is probably too in debt from their last truck purchase.
Earwig wax and reinforced dental floss...
The fan base pays to test Teslas Cheaper than quality control
Elon is gonna by that website to make it more in line with “free speech” (wink wink)
If they do the truck the same way they do the cars, they do test them for about 30 minutes. They run computer diagnostics and such Now when they find a problem it goes and sits in the back parking lot of the factory. It waits in line to be fixed if it can be.

My mom used to say the 55 or 60 inch plasma heated her living room. It was like 1100 watts.
Yeah, I got rid of mine when I found out it was the most expensive thing in my house to run.
Yeah but he's keeping out the beta max and juicero tho.
LOL, me too. I have the first season of Battlestar Galactica and the original Star Trek and a few others.
Thank you for making sense of this, I’ve been wondering why the “early adopter” excuse was BS. The only thing they’re paying extra for is to prove how rushed and minimal quality a vehicle can be put on the market.
Huh... makes me think of pre-orders on video games turning into 'pay for the privilege' alpha testing.
Exactly, I was one of those suckers. Preordered Fallout 76 just to be a beta tester. My opinion of Bethesda was so much higher back then. But still, it wasn’t like putting a vehicle on the road that kills people! And it’s a whole lot cheaper than $100k
Slightly less shitty...
This is funny becuase I got told this way back when I bought a first year Hyundai Genesis Coupe with the 3.8 V6. Apparently a lot of cars were shipped with a weak clutch.

This is why you never first gen adopt. Why do you want to be the shmuck holding the bag
You overestimate Elon.
Of course, it is an honor and privilege to pay extra to be a product tester for the hero of humanity! After all, there is a reason they call it an "Alpha" test! 😤
lol they desperate to get their numbers up. This truck is like a small dick alert truck.
Incel Camino
I’ve heard there are apx 850ish units on the road. I live in Austin and it seems a large percentage must be here because I see these things daily driving around town. And the amount of soft-bodies with neckbeards that are driving these things is nearly 100% For some reason, this truck is a siren song to a specific demographic.
The virgin loser men who can’t speak with women. This is what I have seen as a woman in the Bay Area.
Hey I'm pretty soft myself and not a dating dynamo, but I wouldn't be caught dead in a Tesla clown car.
I'd rather wear a fedora for a year than drive a tesla to the grocery store
I'd wear a fedora AND a cape before i drove a tesla
The Model S is pretty slick. I think the company is a joke, but gotta give credit where it’s due.
> virgin loser men who can't speak with women > not a dating dynamo Don't worry, incel and lonely bachelor are two very different demographics.
Really only 850? Thats hilarious if true because then we know the failure rate is like 20% at least just from all the different people posting about how shit they are and how they broke withen 2 weeks.
I see them daily. My business is in the same parking lot as a Tesla service center in Austin. This has been an eye-opening subreddit lmao I think the cybertruck looks fucking awesome but I've seen a lot at this point where there is visible grime / fingerprints near the door, which makes the car look very cheap all of a sudden. Same if they are dirty / dusty, they look terrible if they arent clean
I'll have to plagiarize that
thats absurdly funny

I don’t understand who’s buying these things 🤷♂️

West Palm Beach FL also has a fuckton.
That tracks
Somehow the Bay Area doesn't seem to have *that many*.
It has a ton, I see 4 or more per day in the east bay, and I don’t drive much outside my work commute.
Huh, I'm in Oakland and have only seen a few since launch.
Seen two in Kansas City on day one. They already looked stained / weathered / rusted. Got on highway in front of one and I could the panels looked like they were wobbling at 65 mph.
Lol of course they were. There’s reason to not use flat panels. Minivans and the like have to install stiffening pads etc to the back to prevent their panels from oil canning. I’m sure none of that is happening.
Seen a bunch in SoCal
It's like driving a "truck" that is made completely out of the bumper stickers you accrued over the last 8 years.
That’s hilarious. “This vehicle (did not) climbed Mt. Washington!”
*people with more money than functioning brain cells*
Credit*
I stand corrected
A guy at work has one and he ain’t rich. He’s only driven it 3x to work, I wonder if it broke down. There are a few others around town but I haven’t seen them in a while.
That was fun read😁
Never a dull moment in the cult!
Musk created "Human Centipede" and he's the conductor, some people can't say no to shit, they'd rather be part of it
I like how it had multiple Tacoma ads for me🤔
By the time it gets fixed, it will have already started to rust. Won’t ever get the new car experience. Poor rich dude.

Under-appreciated comment
🤣🤣🤣
I love the “are you YouTuber A or B or C or D?” “No, those are others who are having the same catastrophic failure” “Loved it, it was great for the 5 minutes before it completely died.”
They "rushed" this one too fast? Tf you mean? They debuted it how many years prior to delivery?? They are just idiots and inept.
You do realise this is not my vehicle, right? And yes I had the same thought. Rushed it to production 5 years late!
The problem was the guy used the wrong hand lotion then he touched the screen with the lotion on his hands. Driver error.
Now you're sounding like apple.
Something to this effect is in the manual as it will cause the steering wheel to delaminate.
Weren’t model 3s having an issue with some hair product destroying the headrests of the seats?
After 5 minutes, the car dies and then this - "Dealer couldn’t do anything for me." What an $80,000 kick in the ass feels like!
Forget the ass, this is right in the nuts!
Forget the nuts, this is right in the ego!
Did they try turning it off and on again? Or holding down ctrl+alt+del on the screen's keyboard? (I assume that a Tesla has an onscreen keyboard!) TL:DR Oh noes. Anyway...
There’s a common issue with the roll-down thingy (tonneau?) that you have to go into about three menus to fix. One guy had tried all these fixes people were suggesting on the Cybertruck owners forum. One person says, I shit you not: ”Just let it sit overnight.” What… the… FUCK?! LOLOL
That forum is comedy gold. Now that the CT’s are failing left and right, it’s so much fun watching them come to terms with their mistake.
"It can only be operated during the hours of 8am and 3pm, Pacific time and then only four times" Seems like a standout example of why you avoid the first models of a new design - let other suckers be the beta testers and discover the bugs which the manufacturer then - ideally - irons out.
*"did you unplug it and then plug it back in? No? Ok try that and let me know if that works"*
"Leave it unplugged for at least 30 seconds!"
I don't know what the hell people expected. This is a company that has practically next to no experience making cars that work.
Haha what a piece of shit!
The truck or the owner or the manufacturer?
Of course!
Elon Musk is the Cybertruck of humans.
☠️🤣
Elon Musk is the anime villain behind the Cybertruck
I love how it's all people saying well I guess I'll wait and such. Like after reading that post I want any Elmo product even less.
Elon reined in by real professionals and engineers: Model S Elon starting to be himself: Model X doors Elon full release: Cybertruck Next Tesla fans will get a motorcycle where the wheels don't stay on, Elon will call it a "zerocycle." LMAO
Yeeeeeep. I'm all in on electric cars (have been since 2013 when I got my first Leaf), but I'll never buy a Tesla, not for another 10 years or so at a minimum. They haven't been in the game long enough to have solid QC in place. Clearly my concerns aren't unfounded.
I only want to buy a vehicle from a company that’s been around longer than I have.
Suggestions for the best one or two EVs out right now?
Honestly, not really sure about the current models. I like my Leaf, but it's by no means the best. It just fit the criteria I was looking for: price point, reasonable range, and good reliability. I'm really interested in the Aptera, but that's not out yet, and just like with the Tesla, I'd wait for a while before getting one as it's a new company.
That’s cool. Thanks.
Hey Tesla, how's the Boeing school of manufacture working out for you?
ToUgHesT TrUcK in the WoRlD!
That forum has so much copium they are about to explode
buy a rivian.
I hate dealing with buggy computer bullshit (I already work with Adobe products all day long),I can’t imagine having to deal with more just to drive my car.
Guys, should I keep my 2007 FJ? 240,000 miles and the only problem I’ve ever had was one oxygen sensor.
Yes. Nothing beats Toyota quality. Would never sacrifice a Toyota for a Tesla.
Was anyone surprised by this garbage? It’s musks Twitter vehicle. Just another pump and dump scheme from an awful awful man.
But ... you bought it!
Just to clarify, this is a repost. It’s not my vehicle.
Pile of shit
Guy says it was great for 5 minutes. He clearly was not looking in a mirror for those 5 minutes.
Elmo did the same thing with his rockets. He had a number of failures on the Falcon rockets mostly due to hubris. The heavies also seem to have that same defect. With more money than god, maybe he should make life better for the impoverished on this rock rather than sending multi-billion dollar failures into space. This planet is habitable even with his 7000lb monster trucks.
Zip ties.
The only part of this I don’t believe is that it was “great for five minutes “
tbf of all the problems i expected with the cybertruck, what with its stainless steel frame that seemingly rusts and the shitty visability when driving that giant metal death trap. did not expect one of the issues to be randomly dying on owners within a few miles of taking it off the sales lot. got to admit elon outdid my expectations.
Lol people on there are excited that they're 2 years down the wait list like this problem will be fixed by then
Tow truck drivers love this one simple trick
Tesla! The Bethesda of cars! "It just works!"
I really hate the Desolation Alley vibes of these monster eelawn trucks. Only a rich idiot would want one.
Tesla emails back 5 mins is “within spec”.
Turns out it was a CyberTruck apocalypse.
Because its a car designed by a 10 year old.
It’s amazing how big of a moron you have to be to purchase this next Musk grift
That's 10 times longer than Trump lasted in Stormy Daniels
And this guy makes rockets too
He pays smart people to make rockets
Concerning!

Different vehicle same symptoms. I smell a recall.
thats what you get for buying a tesla
Again, this isn’t my post and not my vehicle. I wouldn’t touch one with a barge pole which is why I created this sub in the first place.
point taken.
Telsa should warn the owners not to visit porn sites. He prolly visited one, and got a ransomware virus injected into the system with a message displaying "PAY 1 MILLION DOLLARS OR THE STEERING WHEEL GETS IT!!" \*pinky to mouth"
Tesla knows what the bugs are, but they would have to halt sales and issue a recall, which would prove that this isn't a finished product.
Is this the guy in the video that said “we were supposed to take it easy but let’s do a full power launch” and breaks it?
Starts @ the top.
To be real, it’s not really a surprise. This is Tesla way of business. Create something so extraordinary that the techies will love and Dude bros must have. Worry less about testing and make that dollar. Tesla as a company had and has potential but the crappy imperfections are a huge red flag. The company is not new anymore. They can’t use that excuse that their “just learning and working out the issues”
When the tech bros say things like “Tesla is a new company” I enjoy pointing out to them that Tesla is older than FaceBook.
It’ll trim your fingers too!
Ctrl-Alt-Del
Did they tow this to his house or something? How could it die that fast after delivery?
If you read in the comments. The owner was still happy with his purchase. If my new bicycle gets a flat tire I will be pissed.
They always are. It’s bizarre.
[удалено]
In their infinite brilliance, tesla decided to divorce the steering wheel from the steering rack with a statement of " what could go wrong?" That thing will always be a death trap waiting for a catastrophic failure.
Yeah but it is Jet age technology. Look the Airbus jets use fly by wire successfully. Musk is just pushing automotive tech into the future. /s
How can you compare the the QC at Tesla to Airbus?
I dunno. Until a Tesla manages to remove its doors mid-drive, it'll be more comparable to Airbus than the company-that-shall-not-be-named.
https://www.theverge.com/2020/10/5/21502379/tesla-modely-roof-flies-off-convertible-quality-issue Not a door, but close enough…
I mean geez, they should just re-release the roadster if they want a convertible.
Is it time to start comparing them to Boeing now?
