I can't work out what I'm looking at here. Badly made greenhouse? Some sort of giant grill/cooker?

I'm guessing one of Elon's comedy fall apart cars.

โ€œElons comedy fall apart carsโ€ actually made me laugh out loud. Thatโ€™s what Iโ€™m going to refer to them as from now on.

Well, there's a windshield wiper, it needs a zip tie to keep its shoddy panel secured, and unlike other vehicles it's made of steel that can't get wet. That's how you know it's a Swasticar.

Ah, I see it now! I didn't recognise that thing as a windscreen wiper.

To be fair, "badly made greenhouse" and "some sort of cooker" are still kind of correct :D

Trim piece that is held on by glue, if it fails - panel falls off. Which is suboptimal, as it's a long steel piece
