It's the dunk tank.

This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.

Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.

Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.

Rule 3: No sectarianism.

Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome

Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)

Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.

Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances' admins or moderators.

Rule 8: The subject of a post cannot be low hanging fruit, that is comments/posts made by a private person that have low amount of upvotes/likes/views. Comments/Posts made on other instances that are accessible from hexbear are an exception to this. Posts that do not meet this requirement can be posted to !shitreactionariessay@lemmygrad.ml

Rule 9: if you post ironic rage bait im going to make a personal visit to your house to make sure you never make this mistake again

I initially posted this to r/cybertruck yesterday, but crickets.

I just looked, they even deleted the post. 😭

There's been several cybertrucks lose this same panel evidently they're not tightening the bolts enough

first year production model... you knew the risk :D

For sure. I would do it all over again.

It’s messages like that, that remind me of my computer or phone when it won’t explain why it can’t do what it’s supposed to. At which point i usually throw or break that device. I’d probably put a rock on the gas pedal and send it off the cliff of the California PCH.then you can claim insurance that the plastic piece on the pedal got stuck, take your money and go buy an actual truck tha will last you 20+ years. My 05’ gmc sierra has 300k miles and doesn’t have issues like this. SMH.

Obviously I wish I didn't have these issues, but you would never be able to pry this thing away from me.

"Purchase a $100,000 luxury car from a reputable manufacturer, or buy a literal piece of shit on wheels for the same price. Yeah I think I'll go with the piece of shit on wheels."

Call it what got will, but yes, every time.

Never be a Tesla early adopter

I would still do it all over again.

jesse-wtf

This is a fucking truck, not a smartphone.

No, I don't expect a first-year-production car I just bought to fall apart within three weeks, because that's not a risk people expect to take when buying a new vehicle.

Same country that bought millions of Chevrolet Cobalts that did fun things like

  • if your keys were too heavy they'd jerk the ignition and cut the engine at highway speeds

  • fuel system can leak and cause a fire

  • airbags and safety were poor enough for a recall

  • shit power steering making them hard to steer at low speeds

This is an automotive market with exacting standards clearly.

oh, cars are smarphones now. even the obtuse updating and planned obsolescence are there now.

welcome to the future

They are smart phones. If you open the door while updating a Tesla it’ll brick the car and you won’t be able to drive it at all lol

Perfectly normal, perfectly healthy reaction for an adult.

It's what Angela Chao would've wanted.

I resent having to share the road or God forbid parking lot with these things. Incredible what is allowed on the road in this country

[–] happybadger@hexbear.net 22 points 1 year ago

Normally every time I see a Tesla I hope it will hit my car in a non-serious way so that I can sue them and become an ecologist.

With a cybertruck, I'm going to treat it like a logging truck with a sleepy driver. You get space^2^ because you're imminently dangerous and I get my phone ready to film a cool explosion. The only mercy with these things being allowed on public roads is that their electrical systems seem to fail before they can completely fall apart.

I'd gone all this time without seeing one of these shitheaps in person and then I see two on the same 15-minute drive

[–] JayTwo@hexbear.net 7 points 1 year ago

They're even uglier in person than they are in pictures, too.

Bazingamobiles breaking is so funny because there's so much cope by the Bazinga-brained cultists michael-laugh

Not toeing the r/cybertruck line.

[–] JayTwo@hexbear.net 9 points 1 year ago

@ElonMusk I'm trapped inside the cyber truck and it's on fire, please remedy asap.
Otherwise it's great and I love it.

Cybertruck owners deserve to be in the same registry as sex offenders

People are going to see this wildly expensive truck that immediately falls apart and think "I want to buy that over the cheaper Ford F150 EV which works".

Sort of like how I'd buy a $1000 phone off Wish instead of getting a Samsung Galaxy or iPhone for $800. Who knows what will happen with that more expensive, super unique Wish phone.
