This has exposed the sales numbers, and impressively, it’s sold even worse than the Fire Phone.
I forgot the Fire Phone was a thing.
I will never forget, and I will hold onto my Fire Phones (yes, plural) until the day I die.
Holy fuck they still work? Can you run any modern apps on them? Does the 3D give you a headache?
Updates stopped at a special KitKat-based FireOS version, so most modern apps are likely broken. Dynamic Perspective never gave me a headache - it’s actually pretty well implemented - but it does get boring after ten to fifteen minutes.
I think I’ll charge one up and see how it’s doing!
Update: Still Alive
Wow, that’s fucking awesome. Can you put it on a network?
Every wankpanzer ever? I had to check it wasn’t the onion. It’s not the onion.
Here is a guy explaining the problem. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3WldSl3HGr8
It appears multiple panels on the truck are just glued on which is crazy. Will Tesla just slather on bunch more glue and call it good? That seems like a bandaid over a pretty major problem. I’ll be sure there is a large distance between my car and one of these shitty trucks on the road in case they decide to shed some large panels.
Staying away from cybertrucks is just good sense anyway. They’re being driven by morons and are NOT safe to be in a collision with. S’why they’re not road legal in the EU - they’re too dangerous to things they collide with.
Small text on the bottom of purchase agreement: ~This vehicle is not meant to be used as transportation in an external environment, any use outside of a garage or small enclosed campus is outside of the scope of this vehicle’s design and should be avoided.~
According to the article I read yesterday they are adding stronger glue and a bolt.
That is also what this article says.
Although a single bolt is going to need to be quite strong to hold down a long piece of steel exposed to high speed wind regularly.
High speed wind hitting a car? A chance in a million!
One bolt is probably find if the panel isn’t catching wind. But if that thing gets damaged it’s likely to shear off at speed. Stay away from dented cyber trucks!
Let’s hope they won’t cheap out on those bolts. Thankfully cheaping out on everything is not an habit they have, right?
They probably had some office assistant order a pallet of bolts from Home Depot.
This is the company that glued the accelerator pedal on, you think they know what grade of bolt they need?
Could this be the worst designed car ever made? I really wish we could have a Top Gear episode on it.
Is it worse than the Delorean?
James did a test drive and he seemed to kind of like it, it was on drive tribe I think.
Yep. He wasn’t really reviewing the nuts and bolts, just the drive experience. I didn’t get the impression he got a ton of time with it and only spent an afternoon puttering around. It felt below his standard honestly for thoroughness.
Top Gear itself was not kind to the Tesla Roadster when Clarkson reviewed it back in 2008 or whatever it was, though.
Based Tesla makes a car that vandalizes itself
Even the melted ones? 😄
I can’t help but think “Rapid Unscheduled Disassembly” with this news
“The front fell off.”
The new models are being fixed by “nut clamping”
Thats absolutely meaningless in the face of steel plates adhered to a plastic frame.
This guy clamps
Is this a service rendered to the owners or the vehicles?
Panels on that shit are glued together, so I guess they got ahold of stronger glue.
Elmer’s glue mixed with Ketamine
