Every wankpanzer ever? I had to check it wasn’t the onion. It’s not the onion.
The side is falling off.
And this time it is indeed typical
This is why we don’t make them out of paper, or paper derivatives.
Here is a guy explaining the problem. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3WldSl3HGr8
It appears multiple panels on the truck are just glued on which is crazy. Will Tesla just slather on bunch more glue and call it good? That seems like a bandaid over a pretty major problem. I’ll be sure there is a large distance between my car and one of these shitty trucks on the road in case they decide to shed some large panels.
According to the article I read yesterday they are adding stronger glue and a bolt.
That is also what this article says.
Although a single bolt is going to need to be quite strong to hold down a long piece of steel exposed to high speed wind regularly.
Let’s hope they won’t cheap out on those bolts. Thankfully cheaping out on everything is not an habit they have, right?
Nono. Not bolts.
A. Bolt.
They probably had some office assistant order a pallet of bolts from Home Depot.
This is the company that glued the accelerator pedal on, you think they know what grade of bolt they need?
Could this be the worst designed car ever made? I really wish we could have a Top Gear episode on it.
James did a test drive and he seemed to kind of like it, it was on drive tribe I think.
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.
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
Based Tesla makes a car that vandalizes itself
This has exposed the sales numbers, and impressively, it’s sold even worse than the Fire Phone.
I’m not sure that really says much. I hate swasticars as much as y’all do, but like, $400 phone versus $100K car. Makes sense the fire phone sold better. And I mean, it wasn’t being pushed by a literal Nazi so that helps.
46k trucks sold so far. For comparison, rivian sells about that many of their trucks every year.
To be fair, Rivian is selling as many trucks as they can produce. Rivian could sell more vehicles if they had the line capacity.
Tesla is an older company with more mature manufacturing lines, and they can make more Trucks, but no one wants them.
I still can’t believe that 46k people are both that stupid and have 100k to spend.
the vast majority of them i see around my area have branding decals plastered all over them. no doubt they are being used as a business expense or some other dumb shit.
A van would be so much better for advertising. Much more space to put a logo and text plus it’s higher up and therefor more easily visible.
You could put a blinking neon light ad all over the entire night sky, but if someone farted, you would still look around and ask “who farted?”.
The Tesla is so stupid ugly that it attracts attention the same way.
I saw a local restaurant with its branding on it the the other day. Well, there’s one restaurant I never need to try.
. . . and have 100k to spend.
You can get an 84 month auto loan these days if you’re dumb enough to do it.
That’s still over $1000 a month to buy a fucking car
It’s more of a self-igniting dumpster.
I’m curious, does Tesla have its own financing division that gives out these loans?
They do.
If you’re dumb, and you can get $15-17k from selling an existing vehicle, you can get a 3 year lease down to delta of $500-$600.
Telsa was pushing leases pretty hard because a lot of EV incentives are lease-only. I’ll bet they duped a lot of people into putting a shitload down for a lease.
I forgot the Fire Phone was a thing.
I will never forget, and I will hold onto my Fire Phones (yes, plural) until the day I die.
Holy fuck they still work? Can you run any modern apps on them? Does the 3D give you a headache?
Update: Still Alive
Wow, that’s fucking awesome. Can you put it on a network?
I don’t have any spare SIM cards lying around, but I do recall doing a brief test a couple years ago, and apart from some problems with SMS message formats, things seemed to work fine.
Unless you’re referring to WiFi, to which the answer is of course, as that’s how the time and date got set correctly. On boot it somehow thought it was an hour earlier and eight days ahead, but still on a Friday; I forgot to check which year, though.
Updates stopped at a special KitKat-based FireOS version, so most modern apps are likely broken. Dynamic Perspective never gave me a headache - it’s actually pretty well implemented - but it does get boring after ten to fifteen minutes.
I think I’ll charge one up and see how it’s doing!
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.
The new models are being fixed by “nut clamping”
Can I be added to the recall? 🥹
Only if you take me with you!!
Is this a service rendered to the owners or the vehicles?
Ow.
“We are not robbers.”
“Ok, you can rub them.”
So what i gather is there’s probably a readily available solvent to dissolve the glue and make any Swasticar Wankpanzer fall the fuck apart?
It’s called cold weather.
So, liberal use of dry ice FTW?
I can’t help but think “Rapid Unscheduled Disassembly” with this news
“The front fell off.”
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.
I’m not saying it wasn’t safe, it just wasn’t as safe as the other ones lololol thanks for this
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.
Keep tuned for the first cyber truck spontaneous combustion and the recall for battery concerns
Just send them all to the scrap yard, fucking heaps of junk.
Cheap piece of junk
