What? How?!

Edit: looked it up. Both wheels just kinda.. broke off on their own? https://www.torquenews.com/1084/tesla-cybertruck-owner-says-my-wheel-flew-while-im-driving-highway-its-so-weird-its-concerning/

In Phony Stark language:

This suggests absolute dogshit alloy being used or QC just not existing, not surprising.

Add the "article" to the dogshit pile. Holy slop, Batman.

It was that or linking to TikTok ๐Ÿคฎ

Oh, there's your problem. It was forged aluminum, not genuine aluminum.

[โ€“] BCsven 18 points 1 week ago

Forged is the process the Aluminum....ah never mind I get the joke now

[โ€“] [email protected] 31 points 1 week ago

Well in this case the wheel fell off yes, Iโ€™d just like to make the point that this is not normal

If only those idiots wouldn't be on public roads. Cars are already one of the most dangerous thing in the US. No need to add even more deadly metal boxes everywhere.

In the United States, motor vehicle crashes are a leading cause of death, and kill over 120 people every day.

[โ€“] [email protected] 12 points 1 week ago

Yeah, very happy they aren't street legal in my country

[โ€“] [email protected] 3 points 1 week ago

Yeah, but we don't do shit about it, so as a society, it's okay.

We should be doing things like...

Have adequate public transport so that bad drivers have an alternative means of transportation.

Impose harsher penalties for dangerous behavior on the road.

Require a higher degree of driver training in order to obtain a license.

Cybertruck warranty does not cover driving on uneven surfaces? What?

[โ€“] [email protected] 20 points 1 week ago (3 children)

I feel like that should disqualify it from being called a truck. Based on my commuting this week, the only place it might be under warranty would be a well maintained runway.

[โ€“] [email protected] 14 points 1 week ago

A well maintained road will have a slight angle so that water doesnโ€™t pool. This POS loses itโ€™s warranty the moment itโ€™s driven.

[โ€“] [email protected] 4 points 1 week ago

It's a truck in the same way that Cybersex is sex

[โ€“] [email protected] 4 points 1 week ago

Even runways arenโ€™t perfectly flat

[โ€“] [email protected] 14 points 1 week ago

Warranty invalid if truck is moved sure that sounds pretty normal

[โ€“] Darkassassin07 5 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

There's a lot of stupid shit that voids the warranty.

For example; using the built in power inverter, which is advertised as a power station for camping/work sites, to power anything at all while stationary, voids the batteries warranty.

[โ€“] [email protected] 41 points 1 week ago (1 children)

It seems like every component on this thing is a sacrificial anode or fusible link at the mercy of its objectively powerful powertrain. Just a matter of time until the raw torque or BHP finds yet another weak link to obliterate.

At least, this was my takeaway from the cybertruck assessment I watched on YT.

Completely unrelated to your comment, but I love your name. Black Mesa reference?

[โ€“] [email protected] 11 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

Black Mesa lives rent free in my head.

I don't game a whole lot, but that experience was a masterpiece.

[โ€“] [email protected] 30 points 1 week ago (1 children)

They make everything using cast aluminium at Tesla. One of worst types of alloys where you expect durability as it's terrible with metal fatigue. It tends to snap instead of bend.

[โ€“] [email protected] 4 points 1 week ago

Afaik most aluminum rims are cast (only some of the really nice ones are forged). I'm more inclined to assume that Tesla is just shitty at casting aluminum.

[โ€“] [email protected] 19 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Did they build it out of the fabled Chinesium?

[โ€“] [email protected] 3 points 1 week ago

more like stocktonium.

[โ€“] [email protected] 11 points 1 week ago* (last edited 6 days ago)

While this is a regular occurrence on higher-end sports cars with high-end forged (not cast/fake) alloy wheels ... it's usually in a high-speed crash where you can't even recognise the car.

What did this dumpster do? Get bumped by a shopping cart?

[โ€“] [email protected] 8 points 1 week ago

You stop slandering my boy Elmo right now!

[โ€“] [email protected] 8 points 1 week ago

musk should clarify these are single use cars, that are only for display purposes.

[โ€“] [email protected] 6 points 1 week ago

The chinesium protected the wheel nuts! Incredible!
