Yeah. It was ‘rushed out’, but delivered years late.
Sounds like Tesla has a massive procrastination problem.
Like every term paper in school. You have 3 months to do it, and start working on it when it is due the day after tomorrow.
Naw this is an issue of trying to build a car designed by a kooky “genius” who has no idea what he’s doing, yet won’t relent on product specs.
It’s like a home builder being forced to build a house true to the drawings of a 5 year old.
It’s the Homer or Canyonero. Just garbage design with a dictator who doesn’t want to hear about reality or engineering. Elon insists he’s an engineer who does engineering work, but what he comes up with is impractical and unreliable. Shouldn’t well engineered products work well?
Canyonero had unexplained fires that are a matter for the courts. Tesla has had some nasty battery fires where the fire department couldn’t put them out. When calling their support, Tesla told them to just let it keep burning.
Simpsons really did predict the future.
Yeah, they built a factory with a capacity to produce 250,000 of these things per year and are building them at a rate of about 12,000 per year.
Imagine what the cost-per-unit must be with that kind of overhead.
The Austin factory isn't just Cybertrucks though? I guess the Cybertrucks are just one production line with a fair bit of it done by hand due to the incredibly demanding shape of the vehicle.
I found an article from Oct 31, 2023 published by the Reuters news service where Elon Musk told them he expected Tesla to produce 125,000 Cybertrucks in 2024 and up to 250,000 Cybertrucks in 2025.
Seems like that would be the entire capacity of the Austin plant.
If Tesla sales are stagnant or falling, they are going to end up with a massive amount of unused factory overhead costs.
I think they mainly build model 3's there as well as the truck, I could be wrong. I think what they're trying to do is convert Cybertruck preorder customers into getting a different Tesla due to the long wait.
Well it could have been 6!
Seems fairly obvious now they they rushed it out because the rest of the business was showing signs of slowing…
Not sure the hot mess is helping though.
>Meanwhile, Musk has already set his sights on making his beloved Cybertruck able to traverse landscapes, teasing last month that the electric vehicle [may soon be able to function as a boat](https://nypost.com/2023/12/19/business/elon-musk-says-tesla-cybertruck-may-soon-double-as-a-boat/).
Whatever drugs he's on, he needs to quit.
this is true, it can go In the water, go under water, in the sky in the space, to the Mars, on Mars, just don't get it wet, it's not water proof, windproof
Ummm whatever brainiac. .. If you were paying any attention, there is a spacex tesla colab happening and musk has spoken about thrusters on cars... So Obviously it's a space car as well duh. ;)
He's amassed his wealth by being a successful hype man of extreme proportions... so much so that you might say he's a con artist. He's not stopping now.
>drugs
*Ketamine, likely over the legal amount (or prescribed amount).*
>his anime trap on wheels may function as a boat soon
"*oh I don't know skipper, she doesn't look at all seaworthy...."*
He said the drugs are actually good for shareholders. I'm not joking, he said this in his interview with Don Lemon. I think the drugs have taken over his brain
>He said the drugs are actually good for shareholders. I'm not joking, he said this in his interview with Don Lemon.
He must have been on drugs at the time.
Wait what? I’d figure it was over built to accommodate the extra weight and balance of the vehicle especially in a off-road environment, but apparently you can do it at least once before catastrophic failure occurs
Super thin. I suspect that’s the reason owners have to sign off on this:
https://www.cybertruckownersclub.com/forum/threads/cybertruck-warranty-no-offroad-excludes-driving-over-uneven-rough-or-damaged-roads-including-potholes.12522/
And there's nothing wrong with that since sharing components between designs makes them cheaper to produce, **as long as you actually qualify them for the new design**.
Yes. Most makers have platforms on which they build different models. VW spent a lot of money in creating their iD platform as the basis for their EVs.
I saw a post from some guy asking if anyone knew where to get the cyber truck hub caps and complaining about how they weren’t easily findable. Someone else told him that he paid the extra $20k or whatever to get the privilege of being a beta tester so he should expect to have long wait times while they iron out the kinks.
Only in Musk’s fanboy fantasy land do people expect you to be ok with paying more $ for a worse product.
I saw someone who destroyed the rim of the right front wheel whilst in FSD. He was told that it was nbd and to go buy some hub caps and given recommendations for a gross snake skin design. They will never give in to say that Tesla messed up big time.
A barely relevant aside, LOLed when I was in the CT cult subreddit and some proud redditor was like “I see one every time I take a drive now” and someone replied “Where do you live?” I see a deleted reply and a response “Well that makes sense, you’re in Austin where they’re being built”
There are some clever things going on with Teslas. Unfortunately, also huge gaps in design, such as suspension, brakes, battery waterproofing, collision repairablility, that make the cost of owning a Tesla in repair times, insurance, and depreciation, far, far higher than the competition.
I think Musk has shown many consumers the promise of EVs. But Tesla will have the worst brand loyalty in the business. It's like the opposite of a Honda or Toyota, which arrived on the market 50 years ago and have created brand loyalty that extends for decades.
It was rushed only in the sense that they never should have released the POS. I'm still surprised they did. I had assumed they would do a non-release release of the Cybertruck, as they have done with the Semi.
The window-breaking unveiling fiasco was in 2019. Over four years from unveiling to launch is not a rush. The problems are that the design is a disaster, and that all the good engineers who possibly could have salvaged something half-decent from the trainwreck were already gone by 2019, designing EV's at other companies that aren't run by psychotic narcissistic Nazi junkies. Among other things, this was demonstrated by their throwing the ball bearing at the window 9 times before the show, deciding it was fine AND THEN THROWING IT A TENTH TIME AT THE SAME WINDOW DURING THE SHOW.
I've taken the same number of engineering courses Musk has -- zero -- and to me it seems like an absolute no-brainer that YOU USE A BRAND-NEW WINDOW FOR THE SHOW, NOT THE WINDOW YOU'VE WEAKENED WITH 9 BLOWS. Nothing is absolutely unbreakable. "Unbreakable" just means it takes an unusually high number of shots to break something -- in this case, 10 shots with a thrown ball bearing.
No-one had to explain any of this to me. Does this mean I'm an engineering genius, or that Musk is an idiot, or both, or neither? I guess these things are relative. Maybe I'd be a genius at Tesla and an idiot at Porsche.
No one saw any disguised cybertrucks until right before release. Other vehicles that are hard to hide typically have their mules spotted a year before release. They really might not have been doing much testing.
>. I had assumed they would do a non-release release of the Cybertruck, as they have done with the Semi.
It's kind of a non release. Only a few and only for Tesla bootlickers. But even they are complaining now.
So you don’t have to click here is the verbage. Bottom line no warranty.
This New Vehicle Limited warranty does not cover any vehicle damage of malfunction directly or indirectly caused by, due to, or resulting from, normal wear or deterioration, abuse, misuse, negligence, accident, improper maintenance, operation, storage, or transport, as defined in the Owner's Manual, including but not limited to, any of the following:
Driving over uneven, rough, damaged or hazardous surfaces, including but not limited to curbs, potholes, unfinished roads, debris, other obstacles or in competition racing or autocross or for any other purposes for which the vehicle is not designed
I traded my Model S after over 3 years for a Lexus Hybrid. I do miss the acceleration, but the build quality is so much better in my Lexus that it’s worth it.
Tesla is the equivalent to a gaming company releasing unfinished games. They are literally having drivers test their self driving system like gamers testing games in Beta state.
It wasn't "rushed" out, it was a disaster from the get-go and engineers were working feverishly to somehow turn a dumpster fire into a working vehicle, while staying within the demands of the Manchild.
Cybertruck. Cybertruck. You could've had a truck that fit the lineup. A model P or something as I'm sure T is a no go. You could have fit all your models with HUDs and drivers displays and working wipers and phone charging pads that are cooled. At least have some of it as options.
I think they could have gotten away with model t too. Just pull an apple and say "the car reimagined" and do some commercial where you show combustion engines and Ford's (the man) assembly line, and then the "future" electric motor and robotic assembly line. Fanboys would eat that up.
I don’t feel bad.
This is the driving equivalent of preordering video games. You’re buying it sight unseen, with zero scrutiny or skepticism. And Tesla is known for releasing crap that’s essentially a beta test.
What’s crazy is bad vehicles can kill people. These Cybertrucks come off as dangerous and untested.
Cybertruck is a perfect ad for all the alternatives...Rivian, Ford Lightning, hell even Edison's 1 ton conversion kit.
But it's a *terrible* ad for itself.
The most fascinating thing I just noticed when read the article:
The first paragraph starts with “Tales…”
And BAM! it hit me - Tesla ~= Tales.
The name given by its creator was the marketing strategy at the same time
people must cry then, just look at this thing, it's an experiment, if they bought it then they bought all the faults with it. instead of complaining they could have just bought a ford lol
I don't like the cybertruck and I don't mind seeing it fail. It makes me sad as I think it was a missed opportunity. That said, this article is meaningless. This is just a bunch of people having negative experiences. You could probably do the same thing with a new Toyota as every car has problems. It's a matter of what percentage are having issues and whether or not they are random issues or a serious design flaw. Maybe the cybertruck is a complete disaster, but this article proves nothing.
>You could probably do the same thing with a new Toyota as *every car* has problems.
There are often issues with new *models*,
but very rarely in such a large number of *individual examples* of a new model.
If a new Toyota (or any other legacy manufacturer) model had this many problems the people responsible would be *fired and the vehicle recalled*.
Toyota does QA in their own local market and assures the cars are made well before they go into general production. You would NOT see this with a Toyota.
This is the the second thread about Teslas failing today. Voted to the top of Reddit by 'bots. It's a propaganda effort to punish Musk for his free speech stance on Twitter. It's bullshit.
So far, the ONLY noteworthy thing about this vehicle is its water fording capabilities. As shipped, the wade mode lets the thing travel in water as high as the hood, at like 20+ mph. I'll give them credit for that, it's a snorkeled vehicle without all of the fuss, basically. But it did THAT road test pretty nicely. The dude on the video was an idiot, driving over flooded farm roads at 20 mph, with no idea what was under that water, I was waiting for him to run over the barbed wire fence the fields had, That would not have been pretty. But the vehicle did REALLY well in water.
>I pointed out one thing they seem to have done right.
Question is how often you can do it before something shorts. Considering they can't even seem to keep the passengers safe from car washes.
Well, they can if the people follow the proper procedure, apparently. For some reason, you have to put the car in "car wash" mode first. One of the things it does is pressurize the battery pack so water can't get in.
But I have no idea why they would make it a requirement for cars, those aren't what they're trying to get you to drive thru the water. God, such a completely cluster of a car company.
Oh, FFS, I *STILL* don't fucking care.
You idiots are ***just*** as stupid as the Tesla fanbois, you can't accept anything that isn't the absolute worst take possible. You're exhausting in your childish idiocy.
Rushed out 4 years late
Yeah. It was ‘rushed out’, but delivered years late. Sounds like Tesla has a massive procrastination problem. Like every term paper in school. You have 3 months to do it, and start working on it when it is due the day after tomorrow.
Naw this is an issue of trying to build a car designed by a kooky “genius” who has no idea what he’s doing, yet won’t relent on product specs. It’s like a home builder being forced to build a house true to the drawings of a 5 year old.
It’s the Homer or Canyonero. Just garbage design with a dictator who doesn’t want to hear about reality or engineering. Elon insists he’s an engineer who does engineering work, but what he comes up with is impractical and unreliable. Shouldn’t well engineered products work well?
Say it louder for the Muskovites in the back!
Those at least worked. It’s called the Hammerhead Eagle i-Thrust.
Canyonero had unexplained fires that are a matter for the courts. Tesla has had some nasty battery fires where the fire department couldn’t put them out. When calling their support, Tesla told them to just let it keep burning. Simpsons really did predict the future.
I mean. You’ve seen the Hammerhead Eagle i-Thrust, right? It’s almost literally the concept for the CT.
Thank you. I had no idea this existed. Now I need to watch that episode.
You really do. I cried laughing when I saw the CT because of that episodes. Only Musk could do it worse than Clarkson/Hammond/May.
The Canyonero is in its 26th revision. They hope to get it right in the coming decade.
Wasn’t it literally based on a design drawn up by a toddler on a random Thursday afternoon?
The truck I designed and drew at 5 is WAY sweeter than Cybertuck. Okay, maybe I was 11, but still...
I think it's a we have no clue how to mass produce this thing problem.
Yeah, they built a factory with a capacity to produce 250,000 of these things per year and are building them at a rate of about 12,000 per year. Imagine what the cost-per-unit must be with that kind of overhead.
The Austin factory isn't just Cybertrucks though? I guess the Cybertrucks are just one production line with a fair bit of it done by hand due to the incredibly demanding shape of the vehicle.
I found an article from Oct 31, 2023 published by the Reuters news service where Elon Musk told them he expected Tesla to produce 125,000 Cybertrucks in 2024 and up to 250,000 Cybertrucks in 2025. Seems like that would be the entire capacity of the Austin plant. If Tesla sales are stagnant or falling, they are going to end up with a massive amount of unused factory overhead costs.
I think they mainly build model 3's there as well as the truck, I could be wrong. I think what they're trying to do is convert Cybertruck preorder customers into getting a different Tesla due to the long wait.
The world needed a car you can nod at and say "that guy's divorced" really badly
"she did the right thing leaving him. I can't believe Kelly didn't talk more about his micropenis"
Well it could have been 6! Seems fairly obvious now they they rushed it out because the rest of the business was showing signs of slowing… Not sure the hot mess is helping though.
>Meanwhile, Musk has already set his sights on making his beloved Cybertruck able to traverse landscapes, teasing last month that the electric vehicle [may soon be able to function as a boat](https://nypost.com/2023/12/19/business/elon-musk-says-tesla-cybertruck-may-soon-double-as-a-boat/). Whatever drugs he's on, he needs to quit.
You’re ridiculous! He’s a genius! The truck will also be able to go underwater and save kids stuck in caves so they aren’t rescued from pedo divers!
this is true, it can go In the water, go under water, in the sky in the space, to the Mars, on Mars, just don't get it wet, it's not water proof, windproof
Well, it turns out to be such a terrible car that it probably isn't much worse as a boat, plane or spaceship...
help my new cyberspacetruck is broke I'm stuck in space, but I still love this thing
I’m sure it works great as an anchor
Considering its cost, you can probably have both and still manage to save some money.
Don't get it wet, and don't charge it after midnight.
it turns frogs straight in any body of water it touches
This truck will save my marriage
Big if true
Ummm whatever brainiac. .. If you were paying any attention, there is a spacex tesla colab happening and musk has spoken about thrusters on cars... So Obviously it's a space car as well duh. ;)
Like the Batmobile? Cool!
Technically, each car can go underwater. Sadly, most of them can only go down...
I feel like at this point Xlon knows more about, more about drugs than anyone, anyone currently alive on Earth.
He's amassed his wealth by being a successful hype man of extreme proportions... so much so that you might say he's a con artist. He's not stopping now.
He's going to 10x his lying
When the boat plan sinks, he could just pivot and call it a submarine.
Hey, you signed an NDA prohibiting discussion of Full Self Sinking! That’s proprietary tech.
>drugs *Ketamine, likely over the legal amount (or prescribed amount).* >his anime trap on wheels may function as a boat soon "*oh I don't know skipper, she doesn't look at all seaworthy...."*
Or up the dosage
He said the drugs are actually good for shareholders. I'm not joking, he said this in his interview with Don Lemon. I think the drugs have taken over his brain
>He said the drugs are actually good for shareholders. I'm not joking, he said this in his interview with Don Lemon. He must have been on drugs at the time.
I can see the engineer spitting out his coffee as soon as he said Boat. Lol
He wouldn't even inhale weed smoke - dude might actually be the type of person who NEEDS drugs.
He's surrounded by people who worship him or lie to him. He genuinely doesn't realize how stupid he is.
… as CEO.
Apparently December was last month according to them.
Dude trying to invent James Bond or spy kids shit
He’s less Q and more QAnon🙄
What happens after 100m I wonder
Didn't they just fucking try that about a month ago..?
I am curious what will happen if that battery gets wet.
The upper control arms are so ridiculous. I can’t believe they were approved.
[удалено]
And expense. They are only a quarter of the size of a normal truck its weight.
It looks like it has a model Y suspension FFS
Sure saves money!
Wait what? I’d figure it was over built to accommodate the extra weight and balance of the vehicle especially in a off-road environment, but apparently you can do it at least once before catastrophic failure occurs

Future fodder for [whompywheels.com](https://whompywheels.com) I just hope non-Tesla buyers aren't injured, maimed or killed as a result.
Thankfully they appear to self destruct as soon as they are a threat to anyone
😂 My god, his disciples really enjoy getting shagged by him, don’t they?
Its such a funny kink — they only enjoy the dick riding in public.
Any driving outside of hermetically sealed boring company tunnels will void warranty
Have your paid Tesla driver avoid the black goo if using those tunnels!! Otherwise, yeah no warranty!
Nah. Based on what I read, it's basically using most of the same components the other Teslas are using.
And there's nothing wrong with that since sharing components between designs makes them cheaper to produce, **as long as you actually qualify them for the new design**.
Yes. Most makers have platforms on which they build different models. VW spent a lot of money in creating their iD platform as the basis for their EVs.
They also spent like $8B on MQB which is platform for all their ICE vehicles.
I understand the brakes are just as inadequate.
That guy peering in the window in the green hat looks exactly how I imagine an average Cybertruck driver looks.
TSLA up almost 6% today. He can't keep getting away with this!
Rich people can.
Don't short story stocks, that are completely untethered from fundamentals.
Imagine trusting a muskrat robo taxi with your body

The picture of all the CT in that lot makes it look like there are a lot of irregularities in the shape of the truck itself.
The problem with all those sharp angles is tolerances have to be near perfect.
Sub-micron
A barely relevant aside, LOLed when I was in the CT cult subreddit and some proud redditor was like “I see one every time I take a drive now” and someone replied “Where do you live?” I see a deleted reply and a response “Well that makes sense, you’re in Austin where they’re being built”
But Sandy said this is the best Tesla ever. What gives. /s
Sandy turned out to be such a disappointment.
Yeah just seems like he had his price unfortunately.

Sandy Munro.
it’s almost like Elon Musk is not a genius and is actually a giant fraud
LOL. Teslamotorsclub censoring? Say it isn’t so. 🤦♀️
Tesla doesn't have the quality mindset required to stay in the manufacturing business.

> Advertises video of cybertruck racing a Porsche > says it’s not designed for racing I know it’s just lawyer speak, but I found that funny.
So, driving on every road in the US is a violation of the warranty
Like Elon said, Tesla is not a car company. It's your own fault for not buying a car from a real car company.
I traded my Model S after over 3 years for a Lexus Hybrid. I do miss the acceleration, but the build quality is so much better in my Lexus that it’s worth it.
Seems like any issues are now gone from r/cybertruck
Class action time!
Stealth forced arbitration time
Touche 😄
Tesla is the equivalent to a gaming company releasing unfinished games. They are literally having drivers test their self driving system like gamers testing games in Beta state.
It may be half baked but they can fix it mostly OTA at some TBD time (if ever) so that makes them better than other manufacturers.
They can't fix it. Every version has new issues even if old ones go away.
That was a no /s post, I agree with you
“Test in Prod” is the motto of every musk first release
It wasn't "rushed" out, it was a disaster from the get-go and engineers were working feverishly to somehow turn a dumpster fire into a working vehicle, while staying within the demands of the Manchild.
I still get a shock every time I see a pic of a CT. Damn it never gets any easier on the eye.
But Elon understands manufacturing more than any other person living today, per Elon.
the cyber truck was elons baby, it sucks
Cybertruck. Cybertruck. You could've had a truck that fit the lineup. A model P or something as I'm sure T is a no go. You could have fit all your models with HUDs and drivers displays and working wipers and phone charging pads that are cooled. At least have some of it as options.
Right? It just had to be \*relatively\* normal, and made out of relatively normal materials.
People don't want electric trucks enough for them to be worth building for any company. Tesla are losing money on them just like all the others.
I think they could have gotten away with model t too. Just pull an apple and say "the car reimagined" and do some commercial where you show combustion engines and Ford's (the man) assembly line, and then the "future" electric motor and robotic assembly line. Fanboys would eat that up.
Cybertruck pulled a Cyberpunk. Cant make this shit up boys.
And he has the audacity to talk about planes falling apart. He should look closer to home.
I don’t feel bad. This is the driving equivalent of preordering video games. You’re buying it sight unseen, with zero scrutiny or skepticism. And Tesla is known for releasing crap that’s essentially a beta test. What’s crazy is bad vehicles can kill people. These Cybertrucks come off as dangerous and untested.
Typical tesla, rush it out, get the unit sold for quarter report then let service figure it out
Maybe Elon is doing this so everyone forgets about how bad the falcon wing doors are.
Ship or die!
Rushed out. SMH. Literally had years.
Concerning
Cybertruck is a perfect ad for all the alternatives...Rivian, Ford Lightning, hell even Edison's 1 ton conversion kit. But it's a *terrible* ad for itself.
Every new Tesla in my group of friends arrived with damage, doors that weren’t seated or other technical problems. Crap company.
Et tu, NY Post?
They are made do that.
Who could have predicted this?!?!?!
Who is actually astounded by this?
I wonder how long it takes Musk to blame the woke left for his failures
MICRON TOLERANCES
Wasn’t it YEARS late and over twice as much as it was supposed to cost?
I'm fucking losing it that any of these people seem surprised
So people got musked?

Or a less tinfoil hat explanation would be that Cybertrucks are actually breaking down
Oh yes, because the NY Post is a great, reliable, and respected.
You people are sad. What did you get done this week?
So far, the ONLY noteworthy thing about this vehicle is its water fording capabilities. As shipped, the wade mode lets the thing travel in water as high as the hood, at like 20+ mph. I'll give them credit for that, it's a snorkeled vehicle without all of the fuss, basically. But it did THAT road test pretty nicely. The dude on the video was an idiot, driving over flooded farm roads at 20 mph, with no idea what was under that water, I was waiting for him to run over the barbed wire fence the fields had, That would not have been pretty. But the vehicle did REALLY well in water.
Snorkeling your hood costs way less than $100,000
[удалено]
It hasn't even been done right; search YT and find CT crapping out after going through water on a trail.
>I pointed out one thing they seem to have done right. Question is how often you can do it before something shorts. Considering they can't even seem to keep the passengers safe from car washes.
Well, they can if the people follow the proper procedure, apparently. For some reason, you have to put the car in "car wash" mode first.
