10 Things I HATE About The Tesla Cybertruck

@@Charlie4pants Blind spots themselves are not necessarily grounds for not allowing a car on the road, a lot of sports cars have major blind spots and they're very common in vans and trucks, the driver is supposed to be aware of them and adjust. The bigger issues are for example the lack of crumple zones, having a nearly horizontal fixed sheet of stainless steel at just about head height at the front so it can decapitate pedestrians in a crash, or the various sharp edges and motor actuated latches that can cut people's fingers off. This thing can only be road legal in the USA, and in third world countries.

[@Tooradj]

That is the jackpot question and the answer to why a $50K truck is selling for $100K. Because people pay for it. Regardless of what kind of quality issues it has or what kind of design problems it has people keep buying them. Tesla selling Self driving that does not exist for thousands and people are still paying for it. Tesla use the customers, their information and their hardware to train dojo for the non existent self driving they pay for and they gladly participate. Replacing a failed battery with a refurbished one for $15K-$20K with only one year warranty makes an out of warranty Tesla disposable. No other manufacturer can getaway with this because no other manufacturer have so many of their buyers own the stock. The truth is Tesla is not forcing anyone to buy their product so there is no room to complain. It is just market doing its thing. If I was Elon, I would be a fool not to sell a $50K dual motor for $100K when there is someone willing to pay for it.

[@Tooradj]

@Will_Tomorrow_Be_There manufacturers are required to give an 8-year battery warranty when the car is sold, but after that period is over, it is up to manufacturer how much warranty the replacement battery has. Several people who have replaced their model 3 pack after their 8 year warranty have reported their replacement pack comes with only one year warranty. The sad thing about Tesla practice is that if your new pack in your new model 3 fails within the first 5K miles while under warranty, the replacement pack will be refurbished and could potentially have 80K on it.

[@vulpo]

An important point to remember about range tests is that they are testing from 100% battery charge down to 0-2%. You would never want to intentionally drive like that. Tesla warns you that it is not good for the battery to repeatedly charge it to 100% at superchargers (80-85% is recommended) and not to allow the battery to get too low either. Obviously you don't want to drive it down to 0% like some tests do because then you would need a tow to the next supercharger. So figure on using no more than 70-80% of capacity for each leg of your journey after the first leg (assuming you initially depart with a 100% charge). That amounts to no more than 70-80 miles max when towing. Imagine driving on a 750 mile trip where you have to stop after every hour of driving, unhitch, charge for 45-65 minutes, and re-hitch again. And that is assuming that they even have a charging station where you would need it. In many areas of the US Interstate system, superchargers are still more than 100 miles apart. But even if Tesla had come through on its 500+ mile Cybertruck range target, the trailer-hostile design of its superchargers is a major fail.

Form follows function. In a lot of ways this is like going back to the Model-T in manufacturing something new. Being the body is stamped half-hard stainless steel, a first in the industry, you cant form it in conventional ways. This leads the designers to use straight lines. These sorts of shortcuts were used on the first stealth jet for other reasons: the computers of the era could not crunch the complex numbers for the F-117 until a decade or two later when they designed the B-2 and F-22. Not due to materials, but due to an all-new concept that was also challenging.

Even if on paper the average of malfunctons is low, the costs of repairs are very high and lifespan is terrible. In the 90s an engine that could run for 300 thousand kilometers without full rebuilt was a junk engine, because a good one would go for 700-900 thousand kilometers and have 3-4 rebuilds after that, so theoretically a single unite could run up to 3 600 000 kilometers.

The lack of a HUD is a huge missed opportunity 😕 It's a gross looking and terrible truck I'd never purchase but a futuristic HUD would have made the interior more interesting at least, I mean $100k+ and you're driving in a box with BestBuy monitor screwed to the dash...

BYD has an instrument cluster display and a HUD. They also have a reasonable number of physical buttons and knobs for common controls.

Tows 11,000 for 90 miles **Puts on clown makeup**

[@marcseclecticstuff9497]

And that's on brand new, unworn batteries. In 5 years you might make it 40 miles. Even @ 90, who wants to have to stop every 90 miles and spend 45 minutes waiting for it to recharge the batteries. About as practical as the HyperLoop...

[@torsten6777]

But you should not drain the battery below 20% or charge it over 80%, so the 90 miles is in real life just about 60 miles on a new battery

I still don’t understand why it needed to look like a wingless F-117 instead of a truck. The tonneau cover didn’t need to block rear visibility - just have a normal bed and that won’t be a problem. The weird front pillars didn’t need to take up so much frontal view - just give it a normal hood and dash and it would be fine. There was no need to make it with an exoskeleton. The Silverado EV is 3x the truck and tows 3x the range without looking like a 5th grader’s geometry homework.

Because it isn't a truck, by which I mean a vehicle designed for practical work reasons. If it was intended to be functional, it would look like a truck, for easier access to the bed, it would have an option without the rear seats, so it could have a decent sized bed, it would have a protective coating, and it would have rounded corners so you don't bang yourself up or rip your clothing on it easily. This is a status symbol, a reflection of ego. Someone watched Back to the Future a few too many times, and wanted to combine the DeLorean with the truck at the end. This is a car aimed at the same type of people who have full sized pickup trucks that don't have any need for them. This is a car for douchebags.

Smart man. You can buy better for less.

Why cars aren’t made of stainless steel 101😭

[@blairhoughton7918]

They used to all be made of steel, and a few still have steel undercarriage, and northeastern winter road salt exposes them all for the mistake they are.

[@Random-dq8ew]

Too expensive I guess

[@dicksonfranssen]

Stainless steel is expensive, incredibly hard to bend into compound curves and has to be TIG or MIG welded. Also hard to paint and body damage would be a nightmare.

[@jp-ty1vd]

@@blairhoughton7918 that's why you should rinse the underside after driving on salted roads.
