I initially posted this to r/cybertruck yesterday, but crickets.

I just looked, they even deleted the post. 😭

There's been several cybertrucks lose this same panel evidently they're not tightening the bolts enough

first year production model... you knew the risk :D

For sure. I would do it all over again.

It’s messages like that, that remind me of my computer or phone when it won’t explain why it can’t do what it’s supposed to. At which point i usually throw or break that device. I’d probably put a rock on the gas pedal and send it off the cliff of the California PCH.then you can claim insurance that the plastic piece on the pedal got stuck, take your money and go buy an actual truck tha will last you 20+ years. My 05’ gmc sierra has 300k miles and doesn’t have issues like this. SMH.

Obviously I wish I didn't have these issues, but you would never be able to pry this thing away from me.

"Purchase a $100,000 luxury car from a reputable manufacturer, or buy a literal piece of shit on wheels for the same price. Yeah I think I'll go with the piece of shit on wheels."

Call it what got will, but yes, every time.

Never be a Tesla early adopter

I would still do it all over again.

      No, I don't expect a first-year-production car I just bought to fall apart within three weeks, because that's not a risk people expect to take when buying a new vehicle.

      Same country that bought millions of Chevrolet Cobalts that did fun things like

      • if your keys were too heavy they'd jerk the ignition and cut the engine at highway speeds

      • fuel system can leak and cause a fire

      • airbags and safety were poor enough for a recall

      • shit power steering making them hard to steer at low speeds

      This is an automotive market with exacting standards clearly.

      They are smart phones. If you open the door while updating a Tesla it’ll brick the car and you won’t be able to drive it at all lol

      Normally every time I see a Tesla I hope it will hit my car in a non-serious way so that I can sue them and become an ecologist.

      With a cybertruck, I'm going to treat it like a logging truck with a sleepy driver. You get space2 because you're imminently dangerous and I get my phone ready to film a cool explosion. The only mercy with these things being allowed on public roads is that their electrical systems seem to fail before they can completely fall apart.

    Perfectly normal, perfectly healthy reaction for an adult.

    It's what Angela Chao would've wanted.

      Even this servile, answering almost every comment with "😂I didn't shit my pants and I'll do it again to prove it's no big deal😂", r/cybertruck immediately treats him like any other FUD shill. Won't even let someone give the brilliant response they did here where they recommend gluing the $100k, 3 week old truck back together with epoxy resin because the service times will be bad with so many layoffs.

    I'd gone all this time without seeing one of these shitheaps in person and then I see two on the same 15-minute drive

    Otherwise it's great and I love it.

      People are going to see this wildly expensive truck that immediately falls apart and think "I want to buy that over the cheaper Ford F150 EV which works".

      Sort of like how I'd buy a $1000 phone off Wish instead of getting a Samsung Galaxy or iPhone for $800. Who knows what will happen with that more expensive, super unique Wish phone.
