It’s not like it’s safe on the inside either. Have you seen the “safety straps” that they placed inside the car if the battery dies and you’re completely locked on the inside? No indicators on the vehicle, no on site paper manual explaining that, no. Its also hidden by a sleek panel into the car plastic frame, which you have to find, and if you’re in the trunk, in the pitch black, that you have to pry out with your fingernails (rest in peace to those who have short nails) and then you have to stick your hand in a tiny crevice and rummage to find a simple cloth strap. The strap doesn’t glow in the dark, no reflective material, you have to find it by your hand, not by sight IF you can fit your hand in there, because the space is TINY! And guess what? With the window being bulletproof, any stuck passenger can wait hours inside, which can be burning hot, while paramedics and first responders might have to wait on specialized tools to penetrate a bulletproof window. Even inside, you are absolutely in danger if the battery dies and you can’t do any of the steps I prefaced earlier. Big fat WTF moment.

Did you hear him get irritated because the software was beeping at him? This was one of the reasons I traded in my new Model Y after 4 months. Honestly, the software sucks on all Tesla's. The auto wipers are the worst! And they force you to turn them off auto every single time you engage cruise (or, er, "autopilot). To turn them off, just like many functions, you have to take your eyes off the road and use the screen. The software will yell at you if you aren't centered pretty well in your lane. I end up not always centered because I'm turning off the "auto" wipers. And then there's the "phantom" breaking. My Y would slam the brakes on at the same place every time on my daily commute. I'd have to kick off cruise, get past that part of highway, re-engage cruise, and then turn off (again!) the non-functional auto wipers (which will randomly wipe on a sunny clear day). Even worse, I had Tesla insurance. What did they gig me for? "Excessive hard braking!" When I almost never even used the brakes (I always use regen braking). So, they cause an issue and then charge you for it! Quite a racket! I would yell at my Y nightly on my commute to my midnight shift job (oh, I would get gigged for night driving too!). My insurance rose to over $280 a month and I have a clean driving record. I traded it in and bought a Ford Lightning. The insurance is less than half, and I have yet to yell at about anything. I purposely now drive off to the right on the highway just to hear the truck NOT yell at me! I love it! I used to really think Tesla's were the best. Now I can see that Legacy is the way to go. Cheaper insurance, cheaper to repair, cheaper to purchase, and buttons that I can find without taking my eyes off the road. Tesla is definitely overrated. VERY disappointing.

[@cameronb851]

Yeah, one of the things I remember a subcontractor specialist software engineer talking about was the auto driving software in the Tesla cars. Elon was talking in interviews about how full self-driving features were just about to be released for public use in the cars, and this software engineer who had been brought into help refine the software said that the stuff Tesla had was barely functional. Any change in road geometry, left, right turn, incline, decline, crest, valley, anything other than a straight level road, would confuse the software and force it out of auto mode, and yeah, it had no way yet to deal with anything other than basic road markings on that level flat road. This was back in 2017, and it's 2024 and full self-driving still isn't out of limited beta.

@@thomassciurba5323 That is simply not true as a sweeping statement. The computer on Apollo was the most reliable component; everything else mechanical was the liability that could lead to instant failure. This is true for pretty much every rocket. They only fail due to instrumentation errors in the beginning, such as incorrect math or a sensor placed in the wrong spot. After that, every potential failure point becomes the engines themselves. Electronics can easily be made redundant, which would be overkill for a Tesla, but it is possible. Besides, Tesla has the most reliable drivetrain among car manufacturers because there is simply no failure point in a well-protected circuit board.

I sat on one yesterday at a car show. I inspected the panels…and the finish and fit of them was weird, if not sloppy. It looks very strange, very unpolished. I would have no issues with this if the truck was $40k (which obviously can’t be priced at because of all the tech) but the build quality of it, feels (and upon closer inspection) looks cheap. Very strange, not a truck I would want to live with. Sometimes I look at certain newer RAM and Ford trucks and I say to myself “that’s a beautiful truck”. The opposite is true for this Tesla.

Matt's last point about the novelty wearing off quickly is enormous. It reminds you of the Hummer H2. When it was released, all the new rich people wanted to be seen in one.

Not entirely accurate. Once the novelty wore off, the H2 was still a great SUV that was very capable off-road, decently comfortable on it, and reliable. Especially the updated '08 and '09 models which are still expensive today. The Cybertruck doesn't have anything going for it besides novelty.

As a mechanical design engineer and manufacturing consultant, I am quite shocked by all the apparent poor fit and finish issues, especially with the sheet metal. All those sharp corners, sharp edges and sheet metal gaps are certainly substantial safety issues. They will cause injuries. It is only a matter of time before the injuries become known. These sheet metal concerns are largely because of Tesla's decision to use stainless steel (SS) body panels. As with other decisions, this decision backed Tesla into a corner that they can not easily get out of. The SS sheets are well known for being difficult/challenging to work with during manufacture. The SS sheets do not lend themselves to easy forming of complex shapes. This is one of the main reasons why there are mostly flat surfaces and simple bends on the body panels.

The thing that drives me crazy that no one seems to mention is that the thing is not an exoskeleton! That was a big claim, and was parroted by many journalists like Jason Cammisa (come on man, do better) even after the truck came out. The panels are not structural! In fact they're not entirely stainless even! It is a primarily aluminum unibody with stamped steel inner panels, yes, mild steel, prone to rust and all, with stainless panels attached outside with panel adhesive. Granted, these modern adhesives are very very good. But the quarter panel isn't even welded to the chassis, it's a bolt on panel. If you remove it, you can simply reinstall it without having to place the chassis in a jig. That means, there's no significant structure. Hell, you put a 1969 Camaro on a lift and the doors won't open (without smashing into the body). The ground is more a part of the structure of a 1st gen Camaro than the stainless panels on the Cybertruck are a part of its structure.

Another issue in Europe is the weight. The B driving license (for cars) has a limit of 3 500 kg for gross weight, anything above it is considered a truck or bus (if it has more than 8+1 places), which means another license on top of B, often higher tolls, and also being able to prove you don't drive for commercial purpose - or having commercial driver's licence and tachograph recording to prove you're keeping with the rest time regulations. Those are no joke, people are getting stopped and checked with their trucks and fines are huge. Cybertruck weighs 3 000 kg (the Cyberbeast version even over 3 100), that means if you want to avoid the above, the carrying capacity needs to be less than 500 kg.

seriously though. it's been marketed partly as an "apocalypse vehicle" but for $100k, you could outfit any quality truck with some insane shit. scuba exhaust, aux tanks, solar panels. no matter what anyone says or whatever copium they're huffing, anyone who buys it is buying it bc they wanna look "cool"

Hell no on pedestrian "safety" regulations. Just teach your kids to look both ways before crossing the street and pay attention when your driving. Adapting the draconian EU pedestrian safety regulations will destroy off roading and utility vehicles. Or at the very minimum make them unsafe.

[@titaniummechanism3214]

When the bed cover is closed, you get the rearview camera feed on the central display, because the rearview mirror is blocked. But Tesla was too cheap to put a rearview mirror with an integrated display in their 100,000$ truck. This truck is just a meme and the amount of thought put into making this a useful liveable vehicle really underlines that.

[@MiaSoreryOF]

It’s easier for your eyes to see the rearview camera feed on the big display then looking up at an integrated rearview mirror there’s no logical reason to have the screen on the actual mirror itself. That’s just stupid.

[@tv321123]

@@MiaSoreryOF WTF are you going on about? GM has been doing that for years with the rear view mirror and it's great; one of the things they actually get right. What planet are you on where it's better to look down at the center screen, rather than just glancing slightly up while keeping the road in view.

@@tv321123 the center screen is at EYE level and the display for the rearview is at the top of that display. It’s more eye movement to look up at the rearview mirror.

[@n.o.b.s.8458]

Just a note, the US does have pedestrian crash standards (PEDESTRIAN SAFETY ENHANCEMENT ACT OF 2010), and most companies simply follow suit for Europe. However, the reason these are allowed in the US is even more insane. Vehicles classified as Trucks (including body on frame SUV’s) skirt a whole host of regulations. “Not just bikes” does a great video on this, and if you want more info on the history just look up CAFE regulations and trucks. The historical precedent was to help small businesses avoid additional regulations for “work vehicles”, but these days any single guy with no kids that works remote can buy a vehicle the size of a tank to go get McDonalds. I really wish the US tried to push for more small, light vehicles instead of actively incentivizing the largest ones possible. Besides, it’s a lot harder to zone out and be inattentive when you feel all the bumps in the road!

[@tmanepic]

Yay, brilliant! Let's all subsidise these monstrous American behemoths instead....sheesh.

Someone (can’t find comment now) said that gasoline and diesel can’t be stored for long periods. This is not the case. I have a small gasoline powered generator that I crank and run once per year. Have been doing this every year for 27 years. Starts without problem every time. Just use fuel stabilizer in the tank. Diesel will store for long periods better than gasoline. Just pour in some diesel treatment in the tank to keep out condensation.
