I mean, it says cybertruck parts, not the whole thing including assembly. Certainly possible for some manufacturing processes under given conditions to produce parts with ±0.005 tolerances like laser cutting or precision CNC machining of small dimensions. But it's obviously completely unrealistic given that most parts for a car will be of large-ish dimensions and stamped, injection molded, cast, forged, extruded... none of which lends itself to IT grades better than 10, far away from talking about microns.
Didn't you see what musk said about legos and pop cans? It can be done, the tronk just needs to be built out of legos and pop cans, duh!
A rumor I've heard somewhere online is that people are noticing the body panels wobbling, or 'breathing' in and out in the wind. Not sure how true that is, I can't find a video showing this happening, but it does make sense. Even the most subtle flexing of a shiny flat surface becomes way more obvious and sticks out like a sore thumb.
