Don’t forget that the frame is made out of aluminum , so the more repeated stress you put on the frame, the weaker it gets. I’ve seen the frame literally break from towing something. It is a truly awful vehicle.

The most American made vehicle ever
I am not surprised that someone who bought a Cybertruck is wholly unaware of the entire first half of the 20th century.
Wait it's a 100 grand? Why are people buying this thing, again?
it's a cult.
It was. I believe the price dropped to $80k. Still a giant waste of money, but that would be true for basically any price point.
To be fair, it looks like it would look cooler if you took all the panels off. Probably would not help with longevity, but might be less likely to get arsoned.
ngl, if it had this aesthetic, I might have to change my opinion on them:
If I saw one of these with the panels removed; I'd take the opportunity to cut the wire harnesses a few dozen times.
Don't just cut it, take a section of the harness out (especially a split or junction). Much more of a pain to splice in a new section than to just reconnect some split wires.
or uh.... don't do crime. Vandalism bad.
The cybertruck can't handle water. In this state, a bit of rain can brick the vehicle.
Weak against fire, water, lightning and earth. Truly the easiest enemy to grind.
This is what happens when you make too many pokemon types, you end up with Steel being weak to every damn thing out here

And heart
Maybe with the panels removed it can dry after a car wash.
Install see-through panels
It’s just an oversized tonka truck toy.
At least Nazi Germany had talented engineers designing the cars for the people, or Volkswagens. Porsche over Musk any day!
There's not supposed to be a frame there. Pull the side panel off a GM and it's the same.
The frame is under the truck. There should be a rigid structure on the flat of the bed.
It's unibody, the waffle-like part in the picture between the rear glass and the wheel well is part of it's frame
edit: here's a picture from their manual
hilariously, the frame is very thin in places and could be bent with a crescent wrench.
This has clearly been disassembled. You can see the bed which means both the interior and exterior RR panels are removed.
We really do live in Biff's future.
The Cybertruck is the epitome of America hubris.
In fairness, it was largely the vision of a South African maniac
That's like when Germans try to point out that Hitler was Austrian.
They've got a point.
Austria gave us WW1, WW2, and Austrian economics.
They are objectively the baddies.
Musk built the Cybertruck in his own image: not just the shape echoing his weirdly angular physique, but its construction representing the substance backing his sensational claims. That thing is as solid as his charter cities on Mars.
There’s plenty of plastic on steel, or steel trim mounted to plastic, in other trucks that aren’t “100% US made.” That’s just how it works. Plastic is light, easily moldable, and doesn’t rust. Of course it’s going to be used to build cars. I don’t see wha anyone is surprised that the swastidumpster is any different.
American cars were never hailed as pinnacle of quality. Not decades ago and not now.
And Trump wonder why Europeans don't drive American cars
Pretty sure the Caddies and Lincolns of the 40s-70s were though?
Ha, the ~~front~~ side fell off!
American made is just a fancy way to say that the rear quarter panel will rust and fall off within the first month of ownership.
It's a unibody, most modern vehicles are built like this. Take the fenders off an Audi, Kia, Mercedes, Hyundai, or BYD and it will look pretty much just like this.
Really? I thought unibodies where not a thing because of destruction zones
There's really only two types of vehicle construction for passenger vehicles; unibody and body on frame with unibody easily being the most common; even trucks like the Ford Ranger are unibody. Body on Frame is really only used on Full Sized pickups and SUVs. :)
But not most vehicles that are named "truck"
But not most vehicles that are named “truck”
Here in America every truck smaller than "Full Size" is unibody with the sole exception being the Chevy Colorado / GMC Canyon.
Most vehicles named "truck" also don't have 3/16in cast aluminum where the tow hitch connects, but here we are.
Hey snake oil salesmen are coming back!
