A Rare Issue With the Swastidumpster : Cyberstuck

[-] [email protected] 188 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

Buy a cybertruck, they are best vehicle ever, except a few catches.

Like for example you can't wash it or it'll break, cant drive it or the wheels will fall off, and best not to sit in it either incase it traps you inside.

This is quite possibly the greatest product America has ever made. Well atleast its affordable.

Wonder why no one is suing yet. I’m legitimately confounded by the absence of lawsuits

[-] [email protected] 58 points 2 months ago

I wouldn’t be surprised if there’s a contracted arbitration or something…

[-] [email protected] 25 points 2 months ago

I am sick and tired of the war on property rights. The amount of companies trying to misrepresent product as services in order to seize undeserved control is too damn high!

[-] [email protected] 19 points 2 months ago

The ones that had by far the best grounds to sue burnt to death.

[-] [email protected] 10 points 2 months ago

Well, the guy who made the trucks gutted the CFPB a few months back...

Don’t touch the doors or the panel will fall off.

[-] [email protected] 21 points 2 months ago

You can safely touch the emergency door release cover. That panel will NOT come off.

Lol and don't slam the doors!

For the record, if you slam the doors the inside part comes partially loose and catches on the interior, so that when you open the door again the inside part tears away (literally tears like a rag).

Well atleast its affordable.

Starting price is like $82,000, or $101k with options lol

Same. I washed my hair yesterday and I had a heart attack. I also washed my stainless steel forks and they rust in a few minutes. It's the worst.

[-] [email protected] 25 points 2 months ago

What ? Dont you know that dihydrogen monoxide has a Ph higher than any acid ? Why would you put that on your hair !

Ok, so a car wash kills it. What happens when it rains? Do they sell a giant umbrella to mount on the stupid ass thing?

[-] [email protected] 53 points 2 months ago

Maybe the soap dissolves some load bearing glue?

[-] [email protected] 15 points 2 months ago

🤣

[-] [email protected] 11 points 2 months ago

It's not a joke, the frame is plastic and the steel panels are glued on.

I wonder if it's because the "geniuses" at Tesla forgot to protect the electronics from water coming up from beneath it. It would explain a lot lol

[-] [email protected] 26 points 2 months ago

There's a YouTube video of someone chopping one up and that's exactly what it is. There're holes in the frame that allow water to get inside the battery compartment and pool there.

Somewhere else I saw that there are unprotected wires in a well of the frame that can accumulate water.

[-] [email protected] 13 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

So that means someone could potentially brick a cybertruck by spraying water on it from below at the right spot?

[-] [email protected] 21 points 2 months ago

You're describing a puddle.

[-] [email protected] 14 points 2 months ago

Terrorist puddles!

Apparently part of the frame fills up with water until the level gets high enough to short some critical internal wiring

[-] [email protected] 38 points 2 months ago

Smh y'all will do anything to disparage Teslers.

The driver does something stupid, such as getting the car wet, and the car sometimes shuts itself down instead of catching fire.

No other car even tries to stop itself after getting wet! Can't you see how much better they are?! Have you even said thank you once? In this conversation?

Drill some holes in the lowest parts of the frame?

You remember when he said it would function as a boat.

[-] [email protected] 63 points 2 months ago

Like a boat, you don't get to use it as much as you like and you have to keep throwing money at it.

[-] [email protected] 10 points 2 months ago

And the 2 happiest days of ownership are when you get it and when you get rid of it. Although I’m guessing some people might be having second thoughts as they take delivery given all the news about the build quality. Truly revolutionary, making boats seem reliable.

Note that the charger is stuck.

[-] [email protected] 21 points 2 months ago

Guess they don’t know about the string you yank hidden in the tailgate to unlock it manually

[-] [email protected] 10 points 2 months ago

What’s up with that? Did they wash it while charging?

[-] [email protected] 38 points 2 months ago

It sounds like it didn't die in the carwash but overnight, so my guess is they plugged it in overnight after the wash and after it died the plug won't unlock maybe?

[-] [email protected] 20 points 2 months ago

You gotta be a special kind of broken to not have power while plugged in.

[-] [email protected] 51 points 2 months ago

The body isn't watertight and water collects in the frame due to lack of drain holes. The accumulated water shorts the electrical connections and discharges everything.

Probably a lot of corrosion damage now too.

Not being able to detach the charge cable due to lack of power is extra funny. They have a manual release but you have to remove a panel in the bed to get to it.

Basically the vehicle is in beta but they released it anyway.

[-] [email protected] 14 points 2 months ago

The vehicle is in beta but they released it anyway.

Ah sounds like the startup strategy of having someone with the nickname Big Balls working for an org called DOGE given data on every US citizen without any oversight.

[-] [email protected] 10 points 2 months ago

I rented a car recently and they upgraded me to a Tesla Model 3. I charged the car twice and both times I had to do the manual release to unplug it.

LOL "truck." Now it's a very pricey, completely stupid looking piece of lawn ornamentation.

So the Cyberfuck is:

Not bulletproof
Not waterproof
Can't handle mud or snow
Can't handle the sun
Can't handle parking lots

Did I miss anything?

Doesn't using a car wash without putting the car in "car wash mode" first void its warranty, or was that false news? (I don't remember where I heard it.) Nice way to make a lot of unsuspecting people void their warranty.

[-] [email protected] 12 points 2 months ago

That's actually in the owner's manual for the thing, very true. I've seen it posted before.

I wish I had a link handy for you, but honestly I despise the thing and would much rather piss on it than bother with any more research.
