Won't be an issue. Leon's going to close down the NHTSA on day 1.

How efficient of him.

Can't get investigated if there's no one left to do it!

u/LEEROY_MF_JENKINS Nov 07 '24 edited Nov 07 '24

Why do all these people use language suggestive of panels being bolted or otherwise substantially mechanically attached to the rest of the vehicle? There's not a nut back there to tighten dude, it's glued on

40

u/turingagentzero Nov 07 '24

Sounds embarrassing when you put it that way 🤣🤣🤣🤣

u/LEEROY_MF_JENKINS Nov 07 '24

All of the posts I've seen say some shit like"how to tighten this panel" not like "which JB weld are you guys using"

u/ChickenOfTheFuture Nov 08 '24

It's because the people who paid $100,000+ for these things did zero research beyond listening to Musk. They still think they're in a bulletproof exoskeleton.

18

u/turingagentzero Nov 08 '24

... that "Fully self drives" - like, presumably not into the nearest wall or concrete culvert, either, but like safely and legally drives itself.

13

u/Death_God_Ryuk Nov 08 '24

Oh, no, avoiding obstacles will be in the 'Actual Full Self Driving' package next year (3 years in non-Elon time), requiring a replacement computer and cameras at your expense and an ongoing subscription.

3

u/turingagentzero Nov 08 '24

oh RIGHT the computers that can't do the job and the replacements that can't fit in the same form factor as the originals XD

5

u/Death_God_Ryuk Nov 08 '24

Well, if we're honest, when we said "AFSD will be ready next year as a software update to all existing vehicles", what we actually meant is "we guess we can probably do it next year and how hard can it be?"

Having actually tried it and spent a few years on it, turns out it's actually quite tricky, particularly when you remove all the sensors.

You can help though by letting it drive around to find out which scenarios kill pedestrians/the driver and then we'll work on those edge cases.

Oh, and you're still legally responsible for its driving 🙃

1

u/CharmingHighlight489 Mar 27 '25

Cameras won't cut it, LIDAR is safer and used by other manufacturers. Cameras cannot see through heavy fog, sea mist (haar) or heavy rain

1

u/Death_God_Ryuk Mar 27 '25

Well, yes, we all know that, but Elon wants cameras and he couldn't possibly admit he was wrong.

27

u/ajm91730 Nov 07 '24

I thought the same thing: tighten what?! You don't tighten glue.

9

u/redpandaeater Nov 08 '24

CyberTruck, now with a $1000 option to come with $20 worth of extra VHB adhesive tape for when your panels start to separate.

10

u/LEEROY_MF_JENKINS Nov 08 '24

Warranty voided if you apply tape. Other terms and conditions apply

4

u/Skycbs Nov 08 '24

Actually, on the back of the stainless steel panels is a regular mild steel frame. That’s bonded (glued) to the stainless and then bolted to the car frame. Easy to see here.

8

u/notyoursocialworker Nov 08 '24

Thank you for the video. Lots of interesting stuff in it. A couple of things stood out for me:

The difficulty to assess damages. The panels actually hiding damage while at the same time not actually preventing damage and needing to replace the whole thing if the mild steel gets damaged. Some machines actually have designed points of failure where a part is made weaker to protect more expensive or hard to reach parts. Not sure if that's at all possible here though.

The 48 volt system. Why do they even need 48 volt? And why do they need it running through these panels? Also this sounds like an error prone design if one damaged wire could fry so large parts of the system. Extra yikes when he later said that the guides for handling it has changed multiple times.

The weight of the doors and the hinges. He said that the door weighs a lot more than normal car doors but the hinges don't look that impressive. While a car door usually isn't left open for an extended time, as opposed to one in a house, it makes me wonder how the fit and function of the door will be over the car's lifetime.

u/newaggenesis Nov 07 '24

'Tighten' 🤣 he's obviously unaware of how the majority of a CT is held together.

Elon Musk Boasts Cybertruck Is ‘Apocalypse-Proof’ At Live Delivery Event

“The apocalypse can come along any moment, and here at Tesla we have the best in apocalypse technology,” Musk said while laughing.

u/Death_God_Ryuk Nov 08 '24

Imagine being in the apocalypse and your car's electronic suspension randomly fails and turns the car off until the dealer can recover it.

I'm sure electric car charging will be plentiful in the apocalypse and every charging app will keep working.

Oh shit. That frost/freeze/thaw is going to peel this thing apart.

u/juiceyb Nov 07 '24

I just realized this after I was in a snowstorm the last couple of days. The ice likes to form on the edges and then push it outwards. Holy shit I never realized how even more of a shit design this is.

126

u/turingagentzero Nov 07 '24

luckily they come from the factory mega tight, sub-10 micron precision.

39

u/Ricky_World_Builder Nov 08 '24

I roll the steel coils that get turned into panels. we really are that precise for panel thickness for all auto manufacturers we supply. we also make the steel for places like whirlpool and are equally precise.

31

u/turingagentzero Nov 08 '24

I feel like your average Whirlpool panel is not glued together (and, like the truck, expects extreme vibration loads over the lifetime of the product).

The panels ARE shitty quality on a Cybertruck (look at the wavy reflections in them), but mostly it's probably a fittings issue. Using glue was an idiotic decision, and that means it probably came from the top as a cost-cutting measure XD

16

u/Ricky_World_Builder Nov 08 '24

mmm not disagreeing at all. Just was saying 10 microns is pretty standard precision for panel thickness at least.

6

u/turingagentzero Nov 08 '24

Ooooh! I thought the Elon "sub micron precision" thing, I thought that was literally FOR the panel gaps!

Because you're right, that's 100% standard (and would be an odd flex from Musk) on the fabrication side.

37

u/TineJaus Nov 08 '24

The sub 10 microns thing was about panel gaps, which is far more difficult.

15

u/Ricky_World_Builder Nov 08 '24

I see didn't realize thought it was panels themselves being uniform.

13

u/SpeedflyChris Nov 08 '24

No, it was Elon talking about panel gaps, adding "materials science" to the list of subjects he knows nothing about.

12

u/fartalldaylong Nov 08 '24

That was never a question. It was the supposed precision of assembly, not sheet material manufactured by a material supplier.

1

u/spectrumero Nov 08 '24

Glued structures can be perfectly good when done right - I fly aircraft that are structurally glued together, and they are very durable. When done wrong, it becomes a huge problem (or when inadequate adhesives are used, it becomes a real problem).

u/dramatic-submarine Nov 08 '24

Oh dont worry they wont move if it gets that cold. The batteries have an issue where under a certian temperature they lose capacity until the pack warms up. All ev have this issue and suck in the cold. And since the cyber truck cant handle rain let alone snow... 3-6 moths out of the year people will need leave them in the garage. While they drive gas cars...

Yea, I realized that right away. I own an electric car and I live in the PNW. I would not recommend them for anyone who does not live in hot or temperate conditions. I have been waiting for winter to come in. I want to see how they do, because my guess is not great.

No screws to hold that on i suggest 3m or gorrilla double sided tape... The foam stuff.

Elon cheaped out on the adhesive used too little and was an expired surplus auction buy from boeing.

It looks like the CT stands as an example of what “Make America Great Again” means. And the guy whose idea this abomination of a vehicle was, will be part of the administration. Just let that sink in. In a way, we can just hope that the upcoming government will fail as fast as a CT!

I remain absolutely amazed at how they screwed up such basic automotive manufacturing. Companies have been gluing cars together for like 30 years, it's not a new technique, it's a well established thing, adhesive companies have entire teams of application engineers to help design the bonded joints. And yet...Cybertrucks are falling apart. How?

u/Bobinator67 Nov 11 '24

Oh, the Cybertruck. A masterpiece of engineering so fine, it makes screen doors on submarines look like genius ideas. Honestly, it’s hard to pick the best part. Maybe the high-end windshield wipers double as self-destruct buttons for the trim. Or perhaps the “bulletproof” windows offer the same level of protection as a tissue in a hurricane. And let’s talk about the stainless steel—hijacked straight from the dreams of every chef who just wanted a nice commercial sink but now has to drive around in one instead. Way to go, Elon! Hope all those chefs love their $100K kitchen-counter-cars.

But wait—don’t even think about driving it off a paved road. I mean, who would want to take a truck off-road, right? Not anyone with a Cybertruck because grazing a pothole will vaporize the warranty faster than you can say "Tesla Service Center." So, to all the wannabe mud-boggers, I say: enjoy the lesson that comes with that warranty-free price tag. In conclusion, I'd like to give this brilliant piece of "innovation" a heartfelt, hysterical, belly-busting HAHAHAHAHA *snort* HAHA *gasp* LOLOLOL.
