      It’s hard to know how many truly kiss his ass vs how many are afraid that if they say anything bad online he’ll make some calls and their car will stop working or their repair office will tell them it’s not fixable nor under warranty leaving them with an expensive pile of inoperable junk.

      Being that he’s cancelled preorders of vocal critics and has been caught purposely breaking things for critical accounts before at xitter, it’s not actually that far-fetched a fear.

          There is also a sort of rule with Tesla that if you make negative posts about their cars you get knocked down on the service list. Posts like this are basically service requests because of they get enough traction Musk will see and be might pay them to take it down.

        Interestingly enough, there is weird place where i observed identical behaviour: computer game mods. True, they are usually free, but any complaints or questions are often delivered with massive amounts of asskissing in case modder in question is an asshole with huge ego (plenty of them are).

    One of Tesla’s “innovations” on the cybertruck is doing away with all the “messy” individual wiring harnesses and running a single one throughout the car which daisy chains into the individual components.

    Which is why we’re gonna start seeing a lot more of these catastrophic failures soon.

        Yep. This is similar to the way ring circuits work, and those were done for the exact same reason: saving on copper. I lived in a building where all the light switches and outlets were inexplicably wired in series, and it was super fun how any time anything went wrong there would just be no power til maintenance came and fixed it.

        Or any component along the daisy chain.

        Had a similar issue with an old Passat where the head unit was wired inline with the dome lights and when the bulb burnt out the radio stopped.

    I have an acquaintance who bought a Tesla (not the truck) and has done nothing but complain about how shitty the build quality is and how cheap the interior feels. Instead of realizing that he got scammed, he’s just decided that he must not have gotten an expensive enough model, and is looking to drop $75,000 or so on the next model up. It’s nuts.

      The timing of “it’s how airplanes work and nobody complains about them” perfectly coinciding with it coming to light that all the planes we build are total pieces of shit was pretty funny.

              Oh shit my bad thought you meant none of the tesla issues were the fly by wire.

              No as far as I know that hasn’t been an issue on the planes yet, but then again the fact the door wasn’t screwed on right doesn’t encourage a lot of confidence on any other system.

      The typical expected life for a passenger vehicle in the US currently is around 200k miles

      Elon just wanted that 69,420 mile life

    Another big Tesla stan and YouTuber took his on a roughly 1200mile road trip.

    The range in the real world was so bad it barely got over 100miles before needed to recharge, Tesla also hasn’t realised/dealt with the fact that the charging cables on a lot of the Tesla supercharger network aren’t long enough to really reach the CyberTruck charging port because of its shit location, and the infotainment screen (which does basically everything) broke twice for hours at a time going black and unresponsive.

    Despite that he still loves it.
