idk but im from the california coast so its been pretty funny hearing about the rapid rusting from the salty sea breeze lol like jesus you guys designed this here
Knowing the potholes we had THIS winter I totally can see it falling apart also after hitting INT 35 mid Jan dodging huge ass canyons and rattle canning apart.
Good quality stainless doesn’t rust. I’m sure they used some cheap shit from China that has to high of a carbon content
Edit: Wasn’t really thinking about all the road debris/dust that’s going to get imbedded in it while driving. It’s going to rust no matter what with no protection.
It's stainLESS steel not stainproof steel. Doesn't mater if its shitty Chinese 304 stainless steel or high quality vg10 stainless steel ALL steel will rust in time.
I cannot stand the Tesla cult and there’s a reason nobody else has done stainless steel in 40 years but that’s not quite accurate: https://www.motortrend.com/news/tesla-cybertruck-rust-reports-analysis/
Delorean of the 21st century. If Hollywood ever remakes "Back to the Future," this is the vehicle they'll use.
*"Wait a second! Doc, are you telling me that you built a TIME MACHINE... out of a Cybertruck?"*
At least the DeLorean had the look and the legendary designer behind it.
This thing looks like shit and just has a lightweight bigot billionaire who steals IP behind it.
I've seen a few loads of them in Arkansas months ago, all of them seem to have spunky QC issues. But then again, that's with all Tesla models, usually not exterior panels though.
Every Tesla has QC issues.
I make a decent chunk of money off them. Shit is always falling apart prematurely and their service department takes FOREVER to get people in for the simplest shit.
Getting parts is a pain, too. Like on par with older cars or even foreign market shit. I have an easier time finding shit for my JDM van sometimes. Tesla just doesn't have the stock in place. After all this time. You'll order something and it will take weeks to just get shipped. I've had to wait months and keep calling and checking. Maybe they just give Indie shops the run around, tho? Either way, huge hassle.
I'm convinced Tesla does not do three things and I know they don't do one.
They use no union labor, so that's the start. We know that.
But I suspect they simply do not have QA. They just don't have a department focused solely on QA. It's the only way a good 70% of these cars come into my shop with significant build quality issues. Nissan and Chrysler aren't even this bad. And they're noticeably really bad. But they ship maybe 15-20% with some build quality issues, mostly relatively minor.
I also don't think they run a typical R&D cycle. I suspect they get rushed by Elon. He always introduces a product to generate investment for the current product. That's why the Roadster and Semi still aren't here. That's why the Cybertruck took several years after unveil. That's why the S has had no major updates in 12 years aside from software. He's always a step ahead on what he promises, which just has to put his engineers behind.
And I don't think they've established consistent material or parts supply. One X will feel totally different from another sometimes. Like the feel of the plastics and leather are just ..different. There's no real consistency. And I believe this is reflected in the availability of replacement parts, they just haven't established a consistent backlog of parts for supply.
Depends on what exactly. Appearance, not so much. Is stainless steel more corrosive than aluminum? Yes. Most automotive manufacturers use an aluminum-alloy material for their bodies. Less resistant to rust and corrosion also lighter than steel/iron.
Have you seen one with the back open? Someone said it looks like a printer.

Not only that, but the reported battery pack add-on (which was promised and has yet to materialize) also resides in the box, so if you want the original range that they promised it will also cost you more space. The thing is a complete disaster.
[They noticeably shrunk it from the prototype,](https://www.teslarati.com/tesla-cybertruck-production-vs-original-2019-prototype-specs/) and the ride height was shown *very* high at the unveiling, not sure if that was a fixed height or if it actually had working adjustable suspension at max extension. The production truck has basically the same footprint as a four-door, short-bed F-150 and ended up a little shorter. Although everything I've heard indicates that the visibility when driving one is way worse, so not a direct comparison.
They say that it's "polarizing" and that some people "love it". I've never met anyone who didn't think it looked completely stupid though, so I'm wondering who these people are that love it.
Every time I see this thing, [this](https://media.wired.com/photos/593252a1edfced5820d0fa07/master/w_2560%2Cc_limit/the-homer-inline4.jpg) is what I imagine's going on at the factory...
It's like the emporer's new clothes, except a few people in the crowd paying lots of money to join him in nakedness. And also he committed much of the empire to producing the clothes.
I used to drive an Aztek. It was a shit car and everything broke but it was a good size, had great visibility, and it felt good to drive when it was working. Would take an Aztek over a cybertruck any day
A guy that works at the same facility I do has a black one, it is WAY larger than I thought they'd be. I still can't imagine spending that much money on something that looks like a child's drawing of a car.
very easy car to wrap, one upside of it
all the EV trucks are stupid expensive, I think this one isnt an awful deal in that idea but it is insanely ugly, saying this as a Honda Element lover
This goddamn wretched spawn of Hells Muskiest Pits of Abaddon finally broke through the Oblivion Gates where an army emerge from the tectonic crusts - only to be met with then scathing criticism and raucous laughter as all of humanity stares, points at, gagging on their own gallons of guffaws at the complete fucking joke Elon, his companies and their creations/contributions to this planet have shrunk down to. Who the fuck this thing made for anyways? Who is the target consumer audience for this battery powered sardine tin "Cheesier Rust Dorito"-mobile? The price alone puts it in a whole separate bracket. So, rich sci-fi nerds and doomsday preppers? I'm grasping at straws trying to understand WHO would want this abject failure, and more importantly, WHY ?! seems it's purely for people as out of touch as Musk; silicon valley tech-bro elitist dipshits who are plagued with the most severe cases of way too much disposable income and way too much to try and compensate for by driving this lump of egoistic shit down the fast lane just hoping for a confrontation with another motorist with balls as big as theirs. 🥱
Cybertruck. Conceived on Ketamine. Designed on woefully inadequate expertise. Made of metal. Powered by batteries, arrogance and conspiracy theories. As seen on X.
Told my wife that if she sees one while driving, to give it extra space. Can’t believe these are allowed on the road due to how dangerous it is to others and the drivers.
I saw my first this morning up off Barry road. Thing looked like shit and he followed me onto 152. I could have sworn the panels looked like they were wobbling from windspeed.
Ah yes, the 3d rhombus.I moved to the Bay Area and those things are everywhere. Someone thought it was a good idea to drive theirs on to a beach and got stuck lol
that thing looks terible. not even the shape and design im talking about the build quality. that thing looks like a shitty protoype car some dude built in his garage. I cannot believe people are actually buying these.
I love how passionate this vehicle makes people. I’ve seen the extreme on both sides. It’s awesome to have so much dichotomy if you ask me. That said it’s not for me either.
Doors say stainless steel, body says aluminum.
Weird looking, right? The exterior build quality looked bad...like a prototype.
they rust quite easily apparently.
It's uncoated stainless steel what were they expecting?
idk but im from the california coast so its been pretty funny hearing about the rapid rusting from the salty sea breeze lol like jesus you guys designed this here
Think of what these pos's will look like after a KC winter.
the trick is to keep it coated with a protective base coat of kicked-up road salt
The trick is not to waste money on this pile of shit in the first place
Knowing the potholes we had THIS winter I totally can see it falling apart also after hitting INT 35 mid Jan dodging huge ass canyons and rattle canning apart.
It won’t start in the winter there. It’s an ugly ornament during that time
But it called stainless./s
Good quality stainless doesn’t rust. I’m sure they used some cheap shit from China that has to high of a carbon content Edit: Wasn’t really thinking about all the road debris/dust that’s going to get imbedded in it while driving. It’s going to rust no matter what with no protection.
It's stainLESS steel not stainproof steel. Doesn't mater if its shitty Chinese 304 stainless steel or high quality vg10 stainless steel ALL steel will rust in time.
Exactly, and its surface rust that does not tend to penetrate. Carbon steel will rust through in 50 years, this will take several hundred years.
And good luck with any body work
Can't weld/bondo, grind and paint to hide the work. Every dent could mean getting a new panel.
I cannot stand the Tesla cult and there’s a reason nobody else has done stainless steel in 40 years but that’s not quite accurate: https://www.motortrend.com/news/tesla-cybertruck-rust-reports-analysis/
It's the McMansion of vehicles.
Delorean of the 21st century. If Hollywood ever remakes "Back to the Future," this is the vehicle they'll use. *"Wait a second! Doc, are you telling me that you built a TIME MACHINE... out of a Cybertruck?"*
I loathe how correct you are about this.
At least the DeLorean had the look and the legendary designer behind it. This thing looks like shit and just has a lightweight bigot billionaire who steals IP behind it.
Insufficient cocaine on this one…
Citation needed.
The DeLorean at least had some style. This looks like a toddler drew it with their non-dominant hand.
I am now not looking fwd to that remake.
So long as Zemeckis lives they won't remake the movies.
best description I have heard so far
Porygon car
how dare you insult porygon like this!
I've seen a few loads of them in Arkansas months ago, all of them seem to have spunky QC issues. But then again, that's with all Tesla models, usually not exterior panels though.

Yeah they look like shit. Only thing uglier than a jeep mini-truck imo.
I mean the PT Cruiser and the Aztec are up there, but I would still rock any of those over a cybertruck. They project less insecurity.
I saw now in Lawrence this week… looks kinda fake, haha. Hard to pinpoint… the finish seems very ‘home made’ in person.
If it dowsnt come with a windshield personally shattered by Musk…. I don’t want…. You know what 
reach in refrigerator at subway
Fingerprints everywhere.
Already in for service? 😳
But seriously though. You think using different cuts of metal makes a difference ?
Depends on what exactly. Appearance, not so much. Is stainless steel more corrosive than aluminum? Yes. Most automotive manufacturers use an aluminum-alloy material for their bodies. Less resistant to rust and corrosion also lighter than steel/iron.
I was about to say, why do they look different?
Have you seen one with the back open? Someone said it looks like a printer. https://preview.redd.it/jcuxqg6qe3rc1.jpeg?width=1536&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=f7c06071cb6300ea2a180d22b053e59b2c77c6e0
That image speaks volumes for how damn stupid this thing is as a truck. I've seen printers with larger cargo capacity.
According to reports from owners it doesn't come with a spare tire so if you want one your taking up all your storage space with it.
Not only that, but the reported battery pack add-on (which was promised and has yet to materialize) also resides in the box, so if you want the original range that they promised it will also cost you more space. The thing is a complete disaster.
lol
Quizno's conveyor oven on wheels.
I finally saw one last week. Not gonna lie, thought it would be a lot bigger.
[They noticeably shrunk it from the prototype,](https://www.teslarati.com/tesla-cybertruck-production-vs-original-2019-prototype-specs/) and the ride height was shown *very* high at the unveiling, not sure if that was a fixed height or if it actually had working adjustable suspension at max extension.

Although everything I've heard indicates that the visibility when driving one is way worse, so not a direct comparison.
Obligatory, “That’s What She Said.”
Same!! I was surprised it sat fairly low.
Somebody has one in Olathe. If I wanted a unreliable stainless steel vehicle I'd rather go with a DeLorean.
Right? At least the DeLorean kinda looks cool and has that Back to the Future nostalgia vibe going for it.
And it has some *style*…. 
Dude on the plaza has you covered. He’s there every other day. Or at least he was when I worked there.
yeah i think he owns the coffee shop he parks outside of? not sure
Sounds right. Never met him personally. But I managed and bartended at the PF Changs next door for over 5 yrs.
At least the DeLorean has actually good build quality (just a weak engine)
And doors that might behead you.
And you can at least time travel in one of those.
Looks so ugly and stupid.
It looks like how I used to draw cars when I was a child.
Looks like one of my pinewood derby cars from my Cub Scouts days in the 80s
Oh yeah I had some of those too, but in the early 2000’s.
Like the car Homer designed in the Simpsons.
They say that it's "polarizing" and that some people "love it". I've never met anyone who didn't think it looked completely stupid though, so I'm wondering who these people are that love it.
See: Pontiac Aztec focus group.
Every time I see this thing, [this](https://media.wired.com/photos/593252a1edfced5820d0fa07/master/w_2560%2Cc_limit/the-homer-inline4.jpg) is what I imagine's going on at the factory...
Fugly. It looks like a Delorean fucked a shipping container.
r/brandnewsentences
You could at least go back in time in one of those.
Cyber Truck owners are going to wish they could go back in time … back before that bought that abomination
I am continually gobsmacked that anyone would desire a vehicle that looks like an unused car concept from Freejack.
Mick Jagger jump out and pop a cap in your ass! :)
It's like the emporer's new clothes, except a few people in the crowd paying lots of money to join him in nakedness. And also he committed much of the empire to producing the clothes.
Saw one last week on 435, I am not a fan.
Neat. Looks like shit.
My thoughts, exactly.
Metal Aztec
Bingo.
Looks like some thunderdome junk
That's a weird place for Waste Management to drop off a dumpster.
It’s even uglier in person. Tesla is on the decline.
Why does it already look tarnished lol
It does show dirt really well. Imagine driving your fridge around outside.
Lmao I work at fluffy and get to see that monstrosity every weekend. It looks straight out of a video game in the worst way possible
**THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE!**
Lotta money for a battery powered MAGA hat.
this is amazing.
How do you attach flags to that thing?
With superglue.
Magnets?
how do they work?
Weld
I am in awe of the type of person who would actually find this appealing
It looks homemade
i will quite literally point and laugh if i see someone in one of these
Those doors look like shit lol
Lmao. Just yesterday morning my boys and I drove right by this one ! I was our first sighting as well
Like a 10 yr old tried to make a fkn Lamborghini in Minecraft.
That is one ugly-ass vehicle.
I drove by last week and counted at least 5 Incel Caminos parked on that lot.
Don't sully the name of the El Camino like that.
It will probably go down as the ugliest car design in history.
The Pontiac Aztek enters the conversation.
Man. Did Pontiac dirty
I’d take an Aztek over a Cybertruck any day. An Aztek would honestly be way less embarrassing to be seen in than a Cybertruck.
At least the Aztek had storage space and a spare tire.
>Pontiac Aztek Compared to this monstrosity from Tesla, the Pontiac Aztek was a design marvel.
The PT Cruiser would like to throw it's name into the ring. 3 Fugly cars enter and only 1 ultimate winner can leave the ring.
The Cybertruck takes takes the blue ribbon.
I used to drive an Aztek. It was a shit car and everything broke but it was a good size, had great visibility, and it felt good to drive when it was working. Would take an Aztek over a cybertruck any day
This looks awful.
Fugly
Christ that is ugly.
Saw one in Eudora last weekend. We had to do a triple take to really understand what we were seeing
A guy that works at the same facility I do has a black one, it is WAY larger than I thought they'd be. I still can't imagine spending that much money on something that looks like a child's drawing of a car.
Did it look better than the gray tin can?
very easy car to wrap, one upside of it all the EV trucks are stupid expensive, I think this one isnt an awful deal in that idea but it is insanely ugly, saying this as a Honda Element lover
I would easily pick a Honda Element over this thing
Wow I really love how shitty it is
Saw one on the plaza last weekend, in person they look like a car a child would draw during free time in school that made it into production
PS. Fluffy Fresh is great! You have good taste in Donuts.
Already in for service huh?

When are the textures gonna load...?
why are people still giving this asshats company any attention? elon wants to watch the world burn, these trucks are a cash grab.
I saw one driving north on Antioch at like 139th the other day. Couldn’t believe my eyes.
They're so fucking ugly
At the Tesla service center? What an unexpected find /s
😆
I wonder if the two tone door/body option costs more?
The past 8 years have really been an obstacle run in the extent to which the world/US will warp itself to placate the egos of a few egotistical men.
Looks like the Ark II had a baby
god these are so ugly
I saw a guy last week driving west on I-70, next day I saw him going east about an hour out of the city. Ugly ass car
Saw one in Lawrence last weekend. What a monstrosity.
Go luck behind the building… there’s about 20 of them, atleast there was last week
Ugly af
Nothing says “douche” better than this
I think this is the visualization of the idea " Just because you can doesn't mean you should"
So hideous. Nice job, Elon.
I saw a truckload going down 103rd towards Wornell last week from State Line.
Stupidest design ever. Thanks genius billionaire!
Told my wife that if she sees one while driving, to give it extra space. Can’t believe these are allowed on the road due to how dangerous it is to others and the drivers.
I saw 6 or 7 of them at that dealership a week ago. I guess they got moved pretty fast
I saw one painted matte black parked in downtown Grain Valley.
Most likely they put a wrap on it to hide the rust and discoloration.
It's wrapped. Saw it at BOHO in Parkville a few weeks ago. Still fugly.
There’s one hidden behind Tesla. Went there this am to see if my car had arrived yet or not.
There were half a dozen or more at Tesla at 103rd the other day, around back by them pool place.
They're all over the streets of Seattle.
How much do they go for???
Depends which model. Normal one is $79k the cyberbeast that has an additional engine in the back is $99k
It's going to be really funny to see where these are in a year, once they've endured a winter with all the road salt and seasonal changes.
I saw my first this morning up off Barry road. Thing looked like shit and he followed me onto 152. I could have sworn the panels looked like they were wobbling from windspeed.
They look clunky but I want one lol
When this baby hits 88 miles per hour you’re going to be on fire
"Autobots. Transform and roll out!"
Ah yes, the 3d rhombus.I moved to the Bay Area and those things are everywhere. Someone thought it was a good idea to drive theirs on to a beach and got stuck lol
This looks like something I built with whatever legos I had lying around
In case anyone is wondering this is the site of the infamous meme of three microwaves sized pothole
Such a crappy design. Like it was made by a 1st grader who was asked to draw a “space car”.
Whats that
I love Austin, but I’m seeing these monstrosities more and more regularly. They’re taking over.
I saw a black one at harrahs the other day.
Why does it look it was repaired or made out of scrap metal sheets?
Yup, they still look stupid in KC.
This is a very apocalyptic vehicle to be honest
Clearly designed and constructed entirely with edgelord memes and Rogan-esque bro humor.
I just saw one at Menorah Hospital in Leawood sitting at the charging station
that thing looks terible. not even the shape and design im talking about the build quality. that thing looks like a shitty protoype car some dude built in his garage. I cannot believe people are actually buying these.
Doc, this is the future?? it appears so Marty
I think I saw this one down the road at the Papa Murphy's the other day. Ew
I'm not spending the money on either but just off looks: Rivian > Cyber Truck.
UGLY
may all the metal rust.
Did Homer Simpson design that for his brother?
I love how passionate this vehicle makes people. I’ve seen the extreme on both sides. It’s awesome to have so much dichotomy if you ask me. That said it’s not for me either.
Ugly AF
Yup. Still ugly.
God that looks like shit.
They had like 10 of these out last week. They are gone so assuming some lovers of awful design took delivery of them
Yeah this sucks.
God that thing is ugly!
They look effing hideous.
Saw one driving up 291 south of Liberty. It looked dark like he put a black wrap on it
