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.

[–] Darkassassin07@lemmy.ca 40 points 2 months 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 42 points 2 months 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.

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

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

[–] NoForwardslashS@sopuli.xyz 16 points 2 months 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.

Install see-through panels

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.

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 55 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months 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 months ago

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

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

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

We really do live in Biff's future.

The Cybertruck is the epitome of America hubris.

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

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

[–] red_bull_of_juarez@lemmy.dbzer0.com 28 points 2 months ago (1 children)

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

[–] DragonTypeWyvern@midwest.social 5 points 2 months ago

They've got a point.

Austria gave us WW1, WW2, and Austrian economics.

They are objectively the baddies.

[–] AllNewTypeFace@leminal.space 24 points 2 months 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.

[–] Akasazh@feddit.nl 20 points 2 months ago

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

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

[–] crmsnbleyd@sopuli.xyz 14 points 2 months ago (2 children)

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

[–] mojofrododojo@lemmy.world 8 points 2 months ago

it's a cult.

[–] techclothes@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months 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.

[–] thetallestlesbian@lemm.ee 14 points 2 months ago

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.

[–] RejZoR@lemmy.ml 14 points 2 months 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 months ago

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

[–] guy@piefed.social 1 points 2 months ago

And Trump wonder why Europeans don't drive American cars

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

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

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

[–] wanderwisley@lemm.ee 7 points 2 months 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 months 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 months ago (2 children)

But not most vehicles that are named "truck"

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

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

[–] Buelldozer@lemmy.today 1 points 2 months 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.

[–] guy@piefed.social 1 points 2 months ago (1 children)

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

[–] Buelldozer@lemmy.today 1 points 2 months 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. :)

It’s just an oversized tonka truck toy.
