⚡ EV Tesla Cybertruck

[Bob Kazamakis]

I know the EU was passing a law that basically car functions have to be an easily accessible button so guessing this will change. Then again they seem smarter over there and probably want nothing to do with this crap pile.

Cars will need fewer screens and more buttons to earn five-star safety rating in Europe

Euro NCAP will release new testing guidelines in 2026.

Tesla Cybertruck No Match For Car Wash

After just a couple of months and a few thousand miles of ownership, Tik Tok user @captian.ad’s Tesla Cybertruck was effectively a several-thousand-pound paperweight for several hours. After taking his truck to the beach and stopping off at a car wash to clean it up, he parked the truck in his...

Go look at what they’re doing to “fix” it.


Hint: rivets

Just saw one cruising up Randall in South Elgin. Wife was like "WTF is that..." So I had to explain what it was and why it's completely, utterly useless as a pickup truck.

 

[SpeedSpeak2me]

why it's completely, and utterly useless.

That sounds better.

Hint: rivets

As long as the pedal cover is sturdy enought to hold the rivet, I don't think that a bad fix if done properly.

Saw one in the elementary school drop off line a couple weeks ago. I really wanted to like these things but man they just seem so stupid as a truck when it comes to the bed size and accessibility to it.

The demographic who is buying these trucks is not all that concerned with bed size or function, that demographic will be in the traditional mid & full size trucks.

Those buying these are just for the show!

A neighbor has one of these square, silver pieces of shit.


It went by, Mindy says "WTF was that???"

Tesla - "Redundancy"

Here’s What Manufacturing Experts Found When They Tore Into The Tesla Cybertruck's Wacky Steer-By-Wire System - The Autopian

Manufacturing experts at Munro & Associates are tearing into a Tesla Cybertruck right now and discovering some fascinating stuff. What’s especially cool is their recent teardown of the truck’s steering system, which is totally different than a conventional steering system in that the steering...

It’s actually pretty neat, the 48v system is also cool, hopefully others jump on board with a full 48v setup

 

[SpeedSpeak2me]

When the mice chew through the 48v wires, where is your steering?

 

[GTPpower]

My 2005 ford has a 48v system. Old school.

Seems unlikely to happen WHILE you drive.

What seems way more probable is the 25 year old ball joint on your crusty truck breaking WHILE driving.

I can zip tie expanding foam duct tape that to get down the road.

Not entirely true. There is a “car wash” mode that you need to use. But that still doesn’t guarantee you won’t void the warranty

 

[CMNTMXR57]

Who needs a car wash? All you need is this...

With new tech comes new hurdles.
This is std 1st year production r&d on the customer's dime.

They all do it, tesla's only difference is that they actually are doing things completely different from "legacy" oem's

At least it's not a piece of wood like early teslas
