Because they're held together with glue.
Hate, they are held together by hate
Hate also just happens to be the glue that conservatives use to stick together.
Apparently it doesn't hold things together well
Conservative glue is really just a mix of semen, crocodile tears, and racism.
we keep hoping.
Plenty of vehicles have panels held on by glue. If you use the right glue, and apply it properly, it's fine.
Tesla presumably cheaped out on the glue itself, and also on the man-hours for the work, and also also on QA/QC
Also the design, it was designed by a child
A child who likes eating glue paste, evidently
More like designed by an idiot that was hired by a child
technically a manchild, but yes
Other car designers are also smart enough to use the glue in ways that it was engineered for (like 3M specifies). Not on a flat unprotected price of stainless steel up against a glass corner and rubber seal.
Vehicles that cost $100k?
It's referred to as "structural adhesive" and it's used by everyone from Ferrari to Lockheed-Martin.
Honestly nearly every vehicle on the road and plane in the air uses structural adhesive. The problem here is with Tesla, not the technology.
Mclarens are glued together in a ton of places and they cost a lot more than $100,000.
Presumably, but the cost of the vehicle is entirely besides the point.
The point is that the adhesive isn't the problem, the Tesla badge is the problem.
Don't worry, this time they will use super glue instead of elmer's.
