Ok, so a car wash kills it. What happens when it rains? Do they sell a giant umbrella to mount on the stupid ass thing?
Maybe the soap dissolves some load bearing glue?
🤣
It's not a joke, the frame is plastic and the steel panels are glued on.
Subframe might be plastic but the frame is cast aluminum. Which has its own issues since it's failure modes aren't as forgiving as steel. The glued on part is 100% though.
i love how people debunking claims about cybertrucks is just "no no, it's fucked in a different way"
The cybertruck is a true modern marvel of piece of shit design. It's hard to get all the facts straight considering how fucked it is.
The fact that it's cast aluminum is tremendously funny to me. I love watching videos of these things fall apart trying to tow anything
As I understand it from another thread about this, it's normal to use adhesives on modern cars. Just that Tesla fucked up and uses the wrong adhesive.
Theres no excuse for securing a big flat steel plate to the exterior of a vehicle with glue. Bolt em or weld em.
Wait till you learn that Boeing has used laminated (glued) skins on every 737 since the 80s. Glue can be fine.
737 outer panels are bolted to all hell, stfu
The skin is comprised of a laminated structure, an outer chemically milled skin(to reduce weight) and a "waffle" structure known tear straps. Yes there's rivets, but the structural strength is in that lamination between the waffle doubler.
Wait till you learn how all cars are built these days.
I love when people who don't know anything about a subject act like they know anything about a subject
lol wtf that's even more hilarious now 😂 🤣🤣
I wonder if it's because the "geniuses" at Tesla forgot to protect the electronics from water coming up from beneath it. It would explain a lot lol
There's a YouTube video of someone chopping one up and that's exactly what it is. There're holes in the frame that allow water to get inside the battery compartment and pool there.
Oops all electrical shorts lol
Somewhere else I saw that there are unprotected wires in a well of the frame that can accumulate water.
So that means someone could potentially brick a cybertruck by spraying water on it from below at the right spot?
You're describing a puddle.
Terrorist puddles!
I'd make a crack about declaring war on puddles but they'll probably do it at this point
sorry but since it's in crack form your sentencing has a mandatory minimum.
We're sorry to report that rain is now communist.
Water now woke. Immortan Joe time.
Or a lawn sprinkler. Or a slip'n'slide.
