CrimeDadSome Cybertruck Owners Say Their Trucks Are Shedding Body Panels; One Thinks He Knows Why
š“šššLooks like a boat, breaks like a boatā¦
henfredemarsThereās a saying that the second happiest day of all boat owners is the day they get rid of that expensive piece of junk.
CarbonBasedNPUbut no one is stupid enough to buy these ones lmao.
HanrahanUS goverment is buying 400 :)

Hang, I know this one.
Itās because itās a fucking pile of shit.
NegativeLookBehindSo very well put. Thank you.
Isā¦is the car glued together?
LaserI think glue would be generous
It would seem not.
Probably made from cardboard derivatives.
Avid AmoebaDonāt badmouth cardboard derivatives. The Trabant didnāt fall apart like this!
Trabants have the excuse of being slapped together in factories who often didnāt make parts that could be swapped, and were worked on by a drunk with half a toolbox and whatever could be scavanged out of a dumpster.
Whatās the swastikarās excuse?
Trabants were fucking amazing. The most reliable car Iāve driven. Fuel pump problems? No fuel pump. Oil pump problems? No oil pump. Radiator/water pump problems? Air cooling. Ignition timing problems? Dedicated per-cyl ignition switch. Rust? Cardboard. Had a fender bender? Replace the panel in half an hour, painting is optional. Getting killed in high speed accident? No high speed.
From what iāve seen they genuinely look like DEEPLY fun hop in and buzz about cars to dick around in the countryside. I saw a guy dothe impossibleā¦
Actually put professionally made parts in one.
I cannot drive due to no depth perception. I would love to try one of those little guys out. Thereās next to nothing on them to break and what can break can be rednecked back together. I get WHY the line fell out of fashion, but they really are the eastern bloc version of the beetle and I can respect that.
Thatās interesting. My mother was blind in one eye and so had no depth perception. Iām pretty sure she rarely drove me anywhere after I got my license and I was the youngest in the family; my dad did most of the teaching-how-to-drive so I guess I never had cause to consider what impact a lack of depth perception might have had on driving. She did drive, though, and never got into an accident or even had a ticket in my lifetime.
If she hadnāt told me, I might never have known about her visual issues. I think once or twice I might have seen her miss when trying to put a straw in a cup or similar things, but that could happen to anyone. She did sometimes ask me to switch to her other side when out walking so that she could see me, but navigated crowds without any issues I observed.
Sorry, I didnāt mean to get off topic. I was just considering how it might have impacted her in ways I might not have thought about before.
Well, beyond retinal issues my eyes hadā¦ EXCEPTIONAL levels of nearsightedness. For a time my vision with best correction was 20/250 in better eye. Without, 20/500.
Add retinal issues on top of that andā¦ yea.
No joke these cars were pretty good. Short haul, long haul, as long as you had good parts, it ran great. And I took the drunken workers as a joke. In reality they were made pretty well. People were driving 30+ year old Trabants in the 90s with no issues as long as they could find parts. As genuine parts disappeared, people stopped driving them.
I was more refering to your average Trebant was going to be worked on by Unkle Sergi after dinner with whatever was on hand. the factories hadā¦ eastern european levels of tolernace in production but the cars themselves were genuinely solid. They were just not enough of them to fill the request lists FOR cars when they had market relevance.
I have heard there are Trebby tours in berlin and (former) eastern german areas.
Explains why the front is starting to fall off.
Does it have minimal crew requirements?

Well we know itās not made from discarded horses anymore thanks to the big Vegan lobby. I hope youāre happy, people who care about the planet!!!11Ā”Ā”!
BeastimusThis comment is goated
Parts of it. To be fair, glue is pretty common in automotive and aerospace applications. When itās used properly, itās very strong and reliable ā¦ when itās used properly.
GladiusBWhere? I have been working on cars for decades and worked on race cars. I have never seen body panels glued on. Zip ties, body clips, rivets, welds, but never glue.
Windshields are the big one. This industry article provides a summary of adhesive use in auto manufacturing.
Adhesives in Automotive Assembly
<p>Transportation has evolved tremendously over the last century. From horse and buggy to steam power, the internal combustion engine, multi-speed powertrains, and the latest push for hybrids and electrificationāthe way things move has changed tremendously.</p>
Thatās standard for windshields
Yes. Windshields are important, heavy components which are fastened the the exteriors of automobiles with glue.

This is not a game. Itās a joke sir.
Purely a marketing issue. Instead of ātrim pieces falling off at speedā, call it the Cyclist Beheaderā¢.
Show those Wokeys whoās boss!
The trim piece may not be the only part of the truck that is effectively secured only with adhesive: Tomasko says he believes other components, including the truckās quarter panels, also seem to be held on this way,
Ah yes, the āstainless steel exo skeletonāā¦ itās just glued on, after all
And the fucking bumpers. Two bolts and a shitload of glue.
Clearly theyāre shedding their coccoliths in order to increase their buoyancy and stay in the euphotic zone.
