Don’t forget that the frame is made out of aluminum , so the more repeated stress you put on the frame, the weaker it gets. I’ve seen the frame literally break from towing something. It is a truly awful vehicle.

The most American made vehicle ever

I am not surprised that someone who bought a Cybertruck is wholly unaware of the entire first half of the 20th century.

To be fair, it looks like it would look cooler if you took all the panels off. Probably would not help with longevity, but might be less likely to get arsoned.

[–] TropicalDingdong@lemmy.world 34 points 2 days ago

ngl, if it had this aesthetic, I might have to change my opinion on them:

[–] Darkassassin07@lemmy.ca 39 points 2 days ago (1 children)

If I saw one of these with the panels removed; I'd take the opportunity to cut the wire harnesses a few dozen times.

[–] Warl0k3@lemmy.world 41 points 2 days ago

Don't just cut it, take a section of the harness out (especially a split or junction). Much more of a pain to splice in a new section than to just reconnect some split wires.

or uh.... don't do crime. Vandalism bad.

The cybertruck can't handle water. In this state, a bit of rain can brick the vehicle.

[–] NoForwardslashS@sopuli.xyz 16 points 2 days ago (2 children)

Weak against fire, water, lightning and earth. Truly the easiest enemy to grind.

This is what happens when you make too many pokemon types, you end up with Steel being weak to every damn thing out here

Maybe with the panels removed it can dry after a car wash.

[–] pumpkinseedoil@mander.xyz 2 points 2 days ago

Install see-through panels

[–] crmsnbleyd@sopuli.xyz 15 points 2 days ago (2 children)

Wait it's a 100 grand? Why are people buying this thing, again?

[–] mojofrododojo@lemmy.world 6 points 2 days ago

it's a cult.

[–] techclothes@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago

It was. I believe the price dropped to $80k. Still a giant waste of money, but that would be true for basically any price point.

[–] Album@lemmy.ca 44 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago) (2 children)

There's not supposed to be a frame there. Pull the side panel off a GM and it's the same.

The frame is under the truck. There should be a rigid structure on the flat of the bed.

[–] real_squids@sopuli.xyz 54 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago) (1 children)

It's unibody, the waffle-like part in the picture between the rear glass and the wheel well is part of it's frame

edit: here's a picture from their manual

[–] mojofrododojo@lemmy.world 3 points 2 days ago

hilariously, the frame is very thin in places and could be bent with a crescent wrench.

[–] Buelldozer@lemmy.today 9 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

This has clearly been disassembled. You can see the bed which means both the interior and exterior RR panels are removed.

[–] Akasazh@feddit.nl 19 points 2 days ago

At least Nazi Germany had talented engineers designing the cars for the people, or Volkswagens. Porsche over Musk any day!

[–] Telorand@reddthat.com 40 points 2 days ago

We really do live in Biff's future.

The Cybertruck is the epitome of America hubris.

[–] ChicoSuave@lemmy.world 25 points 2 days ago (1 children)

In fairness, it was largely the vision of a South African maniac

[–] red_bull_of_juarez@lemmy.dbzer0.com 27 points 2 days ago (1 children)

That's like when Germans try to point out that Hitler was Austrian.

They've got a point.

Austria gave us WW1, WW2, and Austrian economics.

They are objectively the baddies.

[–] ABetterTomorrow@lemm.ee 3 points 1 day ago

It’s just an oversized tonka truck toy.

[–] AllNewTypeFace@leminal.space 24 points 2 days ago

Musk built the Cybertruck in his own image: not just the shape echoing his weirdly angular physique, but its construction representing the substance backing his sensational claims. That thing is as solid as his charter cities on Mars.

[–] Glitterbomb@lemmy.world 13 points 2 days ago

The back does fall off though, if you try to tow something

[–] RememberTheApollo_@lemmy.world 12 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

There’s plenty of plastic on steel, or steel trim mounted to plastic, in other trucks that aren’t “100% US made.” That’s just how it works. Plastic is light, easily moldable, and doesn’t rust. Of course it’s going to be used to build cars. I don’t see wha anyone is surprised that the swastidumpster is any different.

[–] RejZoR@lemmy.ml 13 points 2 days ago (2 children)

American cars were never hailed as pinnacle of quality. Not decades ago and not now.

[–] maccentric@sh.itjust.works 4 points 2 days ago

Pretty sure the Caddies and Lincolns of the 40s-70s were though?

[–] guy@piefed.social 1 points 1 day ago

And Trump wonder why Europeans don't drive American cars

[–] remon@ani.social 10 points 2 days ago

Ha, the ~~front~~ side fell off!

[–] wanderwisley@lemm.ee 7 points 2 days ago

American made is just a fancy way to say that the rear quarter panel will rust and fall off within the first month of ownership.

[–] Buelldozer@lemmy.today 5 points 2 days ago (2 children)

It's a unibody, most modern vehicles are built like this. Take the fenders off an Audi, Kia, Mercedes, Hyundai, or BYD and it will look pretty much just like this.

[–] frank@sopuli.xyz 8 points 2 days ago (2 children)

But not most vehicles that are named "truck"

[–] Buelldozer@lemmy.today 1 points 1 day ago

But not most vehicles that are named “truck”

Here in America every truck smaller than "Full Size" is unibody with the sole exception being the Chevy Colorado / GMC Canyon.

[–] sploosh@lemmy.world 7 points 2 days ago

Most vehicles named "truck" also don't have 3/16in cast aluminum where the tow hitch connects, but here we are.

[–] guy@piefed.social 1 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Really? I thought unibodies where not a thing because of destruction zones

[–] Buelldozer@lemmy.today 1 points 1 day ago

There's really only two types of vehicle construction for passenger vehicles; unibody and body on frame with unibody easily being the most common; even trucks like the Ford Ranger are unibody. Body on Frame is really only used on Full Sized pickups and SUVs. :)
