Maybe the people who bought one should complain to a consumer watch dog agency.

Oh, wait. Do those even exist anymore?

Until a few years ago, every $500 Tesla door handle had over a dozen contact switches, motors, microprocessors, and other points of failure, all exposed to moisture and thermal cycling.

Now they just have 2 motors, a couple hall effect sensors, and a microprocessor encased in plastic so they're 10x cheaper to make and don't fail nearly as much, but still cost $500.

Its so poorly made it's not allowed in europe. And normal teslas had issues getting allowed to be sold in Finland cause they are just built to such a low standard. You are getting scammed when you get a tesla.

[–] Droggelbecher@lemmy.world 4 points 8 hours ago (2 children)

In my country, you would'nt even be allowed to drive it with a passenger car licence, as it exceeds the max weight for that.

[–] Maalus@lemmy.world 4 points 7 hours ago

You can't drive it in most of Europe because of the hood height and the fact that all angles of the cars bodywork are sharp. UK has minimum "sharpness" laws for instance

At least it's practical. I mean a kei truck is more practical. But then again a kei truck already takes a fat dump on the crossovers with a tiny flatbed that americans call a truck.

[–] CreativeShotgun@lemmy.world 1 points 6 hours ago (1 children)

American here, just confused by what you mean? Crossovers with a tiny bed?

[–] Soup@lemmy.world 1 points 6 hours ago

I think what they’re getting at is that so many trucks in North America are designed as passenger vehicles first and trucks second. Like, I’ve heard that it can be a struggle to get a two-seater with an 8ft bed and cloth seats but if you want a four-door luxury SUV with a tiny bed slapped on the back then there’s no issue besides the insane price tag for what is supposed to be an abused work vehicle. I love that the Ford Maverick is a thing and somewhat popular but it’s the same problem with its crossover-sized midsection and teeny bed.

People buy trucks like they can’t get a hitch attached for cheap and just rent or borrow a trailer when they need it once a year at most.

I'm sorry, I'm normally on your side on this issue but calling it a "swastidumpster" is tasteless and makes you look bad. even if you want to liken it to a dumpster please use the correct term, which is a dumpstika.

[–] BrutallyHonestPOS@lemm.ee 13 points 10 hours ago (1 children)

two people (so far) did not read your post to the end lol

[–] pyre@lemmy.world 6 points 7 hours ago

those are my proudest comments

[–] Fidel_Cashflow@lemmy.ml 11 points 10 hours ago* (last edited 10 hours ago)

got me in the first half etc

[–] ItsJannnneee@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 7 hours ago

Elon doesn't want you washing the swastikas off.

[–] DarkFuture@lemmy.world 92 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Jesus Fuck.

I had to look it up.

It actually does void the warranty.

So not only are you not allowed to sell them (your own property) within the first year of buying one. But you also can't take it through a carwash?

And you have to pay $80k starting for one?

Man, I already thought the people who owned them were dumb. But holy fuck. Why would you do that to yourself?

[–] FlyingLoon@lemmy.world 10 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (2 children)

Where did you find this? Just curious as I know teslas have an actual “car wash mode” that disables some mirrors and other automatic parts of the car.

[–] DarkFuture@lemmy.world 47 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Their own website states that damage from car washes void the warranty and that you must put it in car wash mode. But car wash mode doesn't prevent the damage indicated in OP's post. Also, you're expected to remember to put it in car wash mode instead of just going through the car wash like every other vehicle.

Also, if the damage from OP's pictures is real, what's to stop Tesla from just saying it was caused by taking it through a car wash when it was really just out in the rain or you hand washed it at home?

Bottom line is these things are a liability that aren't worth it unless you're dumb and have funny money to burn.

[–] Tristus@lemmy.world 3 points 11 hours ago (1 children)

Where do you see that? I only see: Tesla does not recommend taking Cybertruck through an automatic car wash. Warranty should be fine. That said next section says damage through mud voids your warranty which is a very weird thing to say.

[–] itslilith@lemmy.blahaj.zone 14 points 10 hours ago* (last edited 10 hours ago)

Two more paragraphs down

Failure to put Cybertruck in Car Wash Mode may result in damage (for example, to the charge port or windshield wipers). Damage caused by car washes is not covered by the warranty.

[–] davidagain@lemmy.world 13 points 1 day ago

I suspect that it's specifically the WankPanzer model rather than the regular cars.

[–] umbrella@lemmy.ml 11 points 20 hours ago* (last edited 20 hours ago)

genius space man! thats a dumb flaw if ive ever seen one. congratulations on the new ford pinto.

[–] rockhard@lemm.ee 15 points 21 hours ago (1 children)

I love that for every bozo who bought one in Florida now the we're about to enter hurricane season in a few months.

[–] waterSticksToMyBalls@lemmy.world 17 points 18 hours ago (1 children)

Not a problem! They got rid of NOAA so that means no more hurricane seasons

[–] rockhard@lemm.ee 9 points 17 hours ago (1 children)

I want to scream now that you just reminded me of that. Saw an interview with GOP politician in some red tornado state complain about how they got rid of NOAA and imploring the admin to bring it back because they provide a vital service. Didn't have that on my bingo card.

[–] mineralfellow@lemmy.world 1 points 6 hours ago

North Mississippi just got flattened by a bunch of tornadoes. Totally red state.

[–] whaleiam@lemm.ee 26 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Did y’all see the bit about the space x rocket being less effective of the oldest rockets made. Calculation error means it can only take up 400 tons of the 1000 it supposed to. No way to fix it. NASA did it better.

[–] Rin@lemm.ee 6 points 21 hours ago (1 children)

Thunderfoot said this like 5 years ago

[–] supernight52@lemmy.world 8 points 20 hours ago* (last edited 20 hours ago) (2 children)

Poor Thunderf00t. Dude has been right damn near every time some bullshit tech "innovation" rears it's head, but still gets ignored.

[–] svcg@lemmy.blahaj.zone 11 points 10 hours ago (1 children)

The guy spent years being an anti-feminist generally, and shitting himself over every little thing Anita Sarkeesian ever said or did in particular, while being unable to grasp even the most basic of feminist positions. So, I'm not entirely surprised that he's currently being ignored.

[–] supernight52@lemmy.world 3 points 7 hours ago

Fair enough. I've only watched him enough to watch his debunking videos of tech innovations or kickstarters. I never really knew about his anti-feminist views. I can understand disliking Anita, but getting caught up on everything she does is way too far. You can dislike her while acknowledging she has had a positive impact for female representation in games.

[–] SkaveRat@discuss.tchncs.de 3 points 7 hours ago

you can be right, and still be an asshole in general. thus people will start ignoring you.

THis guy was, and likely is (tbh, haven't watched a video of him in years), a giant asshole and annoying in general

[–] Coreidan@lemmy.world 38 points 1 day ago (3 children)

ROFL what brain damaged morons designed this shit?

[–] demizerone@lemmy.world 6 points 22 hours ago

Monroe Live was pumping the single cast member so so hard for years. It make things easy to manufacture and stronger, but harder to fix.

"We need to cut costs! Why are we spending extra to drill these stupid holes all over the vehicle?"

"Sir, that's a drain h—"

"Yeah, I don't care what they are, I want them gone, or you're fired."

[–] FinalRemix@lemmy.world 31 points 1 day ago

And other such great hits like "why are you using six bolts to hold these together? Can't we do it with two? Do it with two." The man is an imbecile.

Just buy a new one if it's stained.

[–] HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 6 points 1 day ago (2 children)

just drill a few holes in that plastic, problem solved.

[–] drop_table_username@lemmy.world 16 points 22 hours ago* (last edited 22 hours ago)

That's casted aluminum and is the actual frame of the vehicle I believe. Check out the jerryrigeverything video where he breaks the frame on one of these, I think it's the same stuff. Super thin cheap foamy casted aluminum so cheap it looks like plastic.

Edit: link to video

[–] ThefuzzyFurryComrade@pawb.social 7 points 22 hours ago

in that plastic

Excuse me, but that is a frame made of the finest aluminum that Tesla has to offer!

You can still use the plastic working tools, just take care to not snap the frame.

[–] hikuro93@lemmy.ca 20 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (3 children)

Good for the american criminals, I guess, since the police departments using Teslas might be prone to shorting out on pursuits during heavy rain, I guess.

"What are you doing turning into this car wash? The cops are right on our tail! " " Yeah, but the cops are looking for a dirty car, right?" " Boss, you're a genius! "

[–] Jakeroxs@sh.itjust.works 1 points 6 hours ago* (last edited 6 hours ago) (1 children)

Lmao there was a game with that mechanic but it was a paint job, I can't remember which one

[–] Jax@sh.itjust.works 1 points 5 hours ago* (last edited 5 hours ago)

Sounds like GTA, pretty sure getting a paint job removes your wanted level - at least in earlier entries

Edit: yep Pay N' Spray

[–] Snowpix@lemmy.ca 13 points 1 day ago

Ah yes, the ol', Pay n' Spray technique. Classic!
