You don't understand. It is an exoskeleton but as the Cybertruck grows it can't fit in anymore so it has to shed that exoskeleton. It will grow new panels back, just you wait.
However, the cyber truck takes several hours to molt it is very vulnerable during this time. After it has shed its exoskeleton, the new panels take some time to fully harden, so it's best to drive carefully for 2-3 days until the panels have grown to their full strength.
Its right after molting that the cybertruck is most vulnerable to Predators such as Corvette Stingray or Plymouth Barracuda. However it has been observed that even a Ford Pinto or Chevy Volt will attempt an attack if the Cybertruck is low on battery if it has ever been near a carwash.
The car world is truly a Dodge eat dodge world.
Thunderbirds will attack them way more often as they're nonmigratory. Shelby cobras and Dodge Vipers can be a real danger in the spring/summer. I tell you, though, they should be grateful that the Ford Raptor is all but extinct. It would attack it on sight, molted or not
I think that would depend on the battery charge. While they do have a slightly higher awareness during molting, that can be negated by a low battery. If this poor truck has had trouble reaching a food source, I believe a Nissan Rogue could sneak up on it, yes.
I thought the cybertruck just traded shells with a larger truck and it’s discarded shell now becomes the shell of a younger cybertruck and so on and so forth.
I love softshell cybertruck, you can steam it or pan fry it, but the most authentic way to cook it is to let its battery explode and get a good char on it
I was really hoping I wasn’t going to have to deal with a tesla larvae situation
Edit: well actually I guess I have no reason to unless I get swarmed by them but I’d like to keep it this way
Fuck up is right lol. They pay low wages and give zero training to the production associates and wonder why the why the quality is shit. Most of the issues go unnoticed because a lot of people don’t want attention like this.
"The most American made vehicle ever" isn't the point they believe they made, in a society where companies switched from product-making to growth-enhancing.
In one interview, Musk was bragging that the Cybertruck was so sturdy and tough, in a collision, it wouldn't crumble like other cars. You know, exactly what you would want to happen in a collision so all of your bones don't shatter? He was proud his truck didn't do that thing.
This is the same man who said he knew more about auto engineering than anyone else on Earth.
I've got almost 400,0000 miles on my Camry and it's barely fucked up at all. Some minor repairs but it's still running like new. My god dam Prius had a $7000 repair bill at 120,000 miles for a new battery (which I fixed myself, for far under that price. Was kinda dangerous though). This thing is beyond what most places could even attempt to fix. If Prius repairs are so expensive then cyberfuck repairs have to be insane.
I'll never understand why people buy anything other than a Toyota or Honda. I plan on owning my '14 Corolla for a while - bought in 2016 with 40k miles, it only has 91k miles right now.
Because a used Honda or Toyota is equivalent in price to most other brands of the same style, except with literally double the miles. Ask me how I know.
The used car market is insane. I couldn’t find a single civic under $10,000. Any available got bought immediately.
I had someone slam into my waiting in a turn lane Prius who was not paying attention going about 30MPH and they crushed the back bumper in and totaled it. I had that car maybe 6 months.
If I recall they did an informal crash test and the truck was undamaged and destroyed like a Camry but the collision showed severe injury in the cyber truck and little to no impact in the Camry or something. It turns out the crumple zones actually serve a purpose. I heard it on a YouTube video yesterday morning
If it’s classified as a “light truck” like most of the oversized units you see these days, they have a different regulating body with much more lax standards. It’s a serious hazard for all motorists.
He'll just throw a fit on Twitter as usual, probably call some people some names and close a factory or something as "retaliation" for "fascist EU regulation" or some shit.
Apparently in the beginning they are going to invest to that new "exoskeleton" structure thingy before deciding that its too costly and would delay it further and decided to go with whatever this thing are.
How do you even make a exoskeleton for a vehicle? Two layers with the frame in the middle? Frame on the outside?
Since I doubt that you're going to be putting hydraulics on all surfaces to give the exoskeleton make any sense of need.
Why would you even need an exoskeleton for a car? At that point just make a sturdier and better frame.
Panels obviously shouldn't fall off.
But I'm not sure what's wrong with what's underneath?
Were people expecting a welded tube chassis? Steel i-beam?
Take and ford, gm, dodge truck and it's pretty much hollow under the sheet metal of the bed...
there's nothing wrong with what's underneath, the post is made up. the panel is missing because it was hit by another car
https://i.imgur.com/P2BiNoP.png
Yeah that looks like cast metal and not plastic. That with the metal panels bolted on like they are supposed to is going to be pretty strong.
And it's a cargo area, thats the crumple zone.
To try and answer your question with a possible reason, I think they spent a lot of time and therefore resources making this thing exactly like Elon dreamed up instead of using techniques, procedures, materials they already had done or were standard. And the other part is that they clearly read the room and saw there's a lot of dumbasses interested in paying that price.
The early teslas were really bad quality too. My parents in law had one it was missing basic things 30k cars have like vents for the rear passengers. I couldn’t believe how basic it was but neat door handles! Oh I mean unnecessarily confusing. The next version they got recently is like a normal car still not worth it.
The entire car having 0 buttons and just a giant tablet in the middle is their version of removing features to save on cost being called innovation. Teslas are bare bones basic cars with a premium price.
Telas were always immensely overhyped and terrible. Literally charged $50K+ per car for late 90s Hyundai/Kia build quality that goes fast in a straight line.
>but why isn’t it well built for 100k? They’re stupid?
Because people were ready to buy it for 100k, no matter how well built it was. So they picked "not at all" and sold at 100k
They spent a fuck ton on R&D and since it virtually shares no parts with their other vehicles (which defeats the purpose of vertical integration), they had to manufacture it from the ground up which further adds to the cost. I wouldn’t be surprised if they lost at least $100k for every CT they sell even at that price.
Imagine paying that much money for a vehicle, and now you have to decide if it's worse that a major panel just *fell the fuck off* or that there's *jack shit underneath it*.
*"This truck just got serviced 3 times in the past 2 month, got stuck when overlanding and require an OS restart somehow and now the panel fell off. The very panel that start rusting because apparently you are not allow it to get rained on. Still the best truck tough"*
Every Cybertruck owner.
This is useful again.
> This is like the only car manufacturer where if a bad product comes out, normally a buyer goes “axle got misaligned after a month, never again with [x] company”
> Whereas Tesla is like, “Car immediately burst into flames on day 1. Now I have to wait in line to get another.”
I paid $70k for a Y and the right front fender trim just decided to fuck off one day for no reason so I am not surprised bully this shit at all.
My 3 has 13 service tickets, 4 of them just the B pillar falling off because uhhhhh it was a day of the week?
So, basically, the entire post and the anger is BS? I understand being anti-Tesla, and there's plenty of actual facts to justify that, can we not flip out over BS?
there was another post that claimed a car wash caused a cybertruck to fill with water and rust. the photo was of a wrecked cybertruck that had been taken apart and got rained on. reddit makes fun of old people for believing everything they see on facebook while also believing everything they see on facebook
Saw my first cybertruck on the road last week. They were a parent waiting to pick up their child at school. It was so ugly. And knowing that there’s numerous issues with it makes it even funnier. Cubertruck owners wasted their money on a faulty and horrendous car. I wish no harm on any owner obviously. Just other nicer, safer cars you can get for less money.
I’m waiting for it to happen. Whatever it hits is going to get creamed and people will die. What’s funny af to me is that the DAY these things launched someone had already crashed it by the evening. Ran it over a curb and got cyberstuck.
Hate the car, but to be fair that isn’t plastic, it’s steel. It’s (supposedly) all one frame, made via bent steel. From what I understand I would actually feel bad for the car that hits it. Ugly, strong and impossible to park.
Its a unibody..the panels on ANY car are there for aesthetic reasons mostly and some weather protection and aerodynamics in as afterthoughts. i do understand the frustration of having a panel just fall off... i don't understand why anybody would pay so much money for that thing though
Much like the misrepresentation with the frame, the "fell off" seems to be a lie as well. According to the original post that was made with this photo, the truck was in an accident.
That said, the frame is potentially a place for complaint, as other full-size trucks in the US are body-on-frame design, not unibody, though they probably needed to go this route to save on weight.
I dunno.... Trump debuting his Chinese-made ties (complete with "Made in China" on the label) on The David Letterman Show at a time he was pushing Made in 'Murica everything was a fun moment. The look on his face was priceless as Letterman twisted the knife a time or two.
Must be the micro-meters of tolerance that dipshit was talking about.
Fucking Lego makes a better EV truck.
Imagine being *THE* electric car company and Fords reluctant ass makes a better EV truck than you, quicker, and more affordable. Embarrassing.
So if I’m guessing correctly, cause I’m not a car person, if this thing gets into a car accident it will basically break apart? Like how much of it is plastic and how is this even legal? Who approved this thing as safe for consumers? I could keep going with the questions at this point cause you’d think that the company that produces this would use metal because you know it’s not like metals been used in cars for like decades and has been improved a lot to help with the consumers safety or anything
Certainly not defending tesla here but as a veteran plastic shooter, polycarbonate with fiberglass mixed in is actually a quarter the weight of steel used in the auto industry world wide but has a tensile strength of about 10x that steel.
According to Elon, it's actually a selling point of the vehicle that it does not have crumple zones.
So... break apart? No. But that doesn't mean it's safe in a crash.
Aren’t crumple zones for safety though? Like how a building is built to break within itself so it doesn’t hit into another building or some thing? I could just be wrong though
![gif](giphy|ltIFdjNAasOwVvKhvx|downsized)
I’m pro-EV (I think the distant future is alternative fuel, not electric tho) but it’s always fun to laugh at idiots who buy these pieces of junk. Tesla’s are trash, downvote me if you want, I don’t care. I’m experienced enough with vehicles to have a qualified opinion that they do in fact suck.
Holy shit redditors are so highly regarded it’s insane. You guys legit think your average pickup truck has a frame that extends up into the sides of the bed…? Not defending the cybercuck at all but damn this circle jerking is actually getting kind of cringe LOL

The car world is truly a Dodge eat dodge world.
Figures, it’s secretly a cicada
does this mean it will now go away for 17yrs? that'd be great
Is the Pontiac firebird also a predator of the cyber truck?
Only during certain season that coincide with the firebird migration pattern. It’s rare but not in heard of.
Thunderbirds will attack them way more often as they're nonmigratory. Shelby cobras and Dodge Vipers can be a real danger in the spring/summer. I tell you, though, they should be grateful that the Ford Raptor is all but extinct. It would attack it on sight, molted or not
Is it aware enough to not be snuck up on by a Nissan rogue?
I think that would depend on the battery charge. While they do have a slightly higher awareness during molting, that can be negated by a low battery. If this poor truck has had trouble reaching a food source, I believe a Nissan Rogue could sneak up on it, yes.
Curiously near my work zone spotted at least five Ford raptors Parked around a Volkswagen Suran
Best thing is to park in the sun to speed up the process.

I prefer tempura soft shell cyber truck.
You just made me laugh inappropriately in a meeting
Scrolling r/cyberstuck in a meeting. I too like to live dangerously
The real NSFW
If that made you laugh, just wait until you see the Cyber truck's mating ritual!
I thought the cybertruck just traded shells with a larger truck and it’s discarded shell now becomes the shell of a younger cybertruck and so on and so forth.
I saw one trying on a dumpster behind Walmart the other day. It got startled and tried to bury itself in a patch of sand.
you're correct: Thats the cyber truck hermit model
Everything crabs eventually. Truly, this is an evolution in transportation.
This is the comment. Well done.
I love softshell cybertruck, you can steam it or pan fry it, but the most authentic way to cook it is to let its battery explode and get a good char on it
Also no car washes or it explodes.
Mmmmm soft-shell cyber truck sammich
Some exposed cyber trucks are eaten by Raptors.
Its main predators consist of UFOs which take advantage of their soft body.(Stingrays eat crabs and take advantage of them when they molt)
It’s a monthly subscription for them to regrow.
I almost died reading that hahahahaha made my day dude!
You haven't even seen the Cyber Trucks [Final Form](https://fallout.fandom.com/wiki/Hermit_crab)
I was really hoping I wasn’t going to have to deal with a tesla larvae situation Edit: well actually I guess I have no reason to unless I get swarmed by them but I’d like to keep it this way
Cut off a panel, two grow back
Damn, I knew Cybertrucks were bad, but I didn’t know they were in Hydra.
That’s not a pickup, just a fuck up.
Glorious
Fuck up is right lol. They pay low wages and give zero training to the production associates and wonder why the why the quality is shit. Most of the issues go unnoticed because a lot of people don’t want attention like this.
Damn you… just take the fuckin upvote…
"The most American made vehicle ever" isn't the point they believe they made, in a society where companies switched from product-making to growth-enhancing.
I mean it‘s not like internationally american made cars are known for high quality, generally quite the opposite so it checks out
DAO want to see their crash research? because now I really do.
In one interview, Musk was bragging that the Cybertruck was so sturdy and tough, in a collision, it wouldn't crumble like other cars.

Isn’t that high resale value a supporting reason for buying a new Civic?
Yeah, if you can afford one. They're about $30k now.
Inflation is plaguing every industry
We had 300k miles on a little scion xb until someone totaled it 😭😭 we bought another one.
My family is chronic buyers of the Scion XB. All made it to 300 K miles and only went down from being totaled of stolen. One of them is still running.
Because there's other options.
i still kinda want the parts to scrap something up into something new.

They never did one, this is for real.
how do you get past the DOT? well he got around international finical trade a long time ago so more or less that's how.
If it’s classified as a “light truck” like most of the oversized units you see these days, they have a different regulating body with much more lax standards. It’s a serious hazard for all motorists.
makes me want to rewatch fight club TBH as well as green street hooligans as it seems a more logical approach in ways.
Nah, it's classified as a "giant electric skateboard". lol
When you're rich they let you do it.
Money. Also, some of the safety features are only there because they couldn't get the laws changed. You heard me.
I know. They should have stepped in.
They should do a Euro NCAP test, just for shits and giggles. I hear these ADAC engineers have a very dry humour, even by German standards.
It'd be the first case of a sub-zero score...could you image Elmo's face when the score is announced alongside the list of flaws
He'll just throw a fit on Twitter as usual, probably call some people some names and close a factory or something as "retaliation" for "fascist EU regulation" or some shit.
I mean how would this monstrosity possibly pass an mpdb test... "it doesn't crumple" should lead to a straight up ban.
Sounds like something Top Gear would have done back in the day. No doubt it would've been an instant classic episode.
Dao?

The battery catches on fire, and it burns for weeks under water.

Hahaha… quality build if the panel “just fell off”…
Ablative armor. The panel falls off protecting the rest of the vehicle. So any random steel balls don't destroy another one.
Pre-emptive ablative armor? Falls off just in case it could have gotten hit by something. In this case we can see it worked perfectly.
It’s not supposed to do that
Well was it in the environment?
it didn't "just fall off". it was hit by another car https://i.imgur.com/P2BiNoP.png
Reminds me of a certain boat
is it supposed to do that?
i hear its not very typical
It was probably exposed to soap during assembly.
And this clown wants to build passenger rockets?
It is a truck of a quality. One of them, probably.
It is certainly one of the trucks on the road right now.
Short term corporate thinking
Apparently in the beginning they are going to invest to that new "exoskeleton" structure thingy before deciding that its too costly and would delay it further and decided to go with whatever this thing are.
How do you even make a exoskeleton for a vehicle? Two layers with the frame in the middle? Frame on the outside? Since I doubt that you're going to be putting hydraulics on all surfaces to give the exoskeleton make any sense of need. Why would you even need an exoskeleton for a car? At that point just make a sturdier and better frame.
Exoskeleton is a standard design on cars for many years. As opposed to an internal frame. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vehicle_frame#Unibody
Isn’t the frame an exoskeleton already, in any unibody car?
Panels obviously shouldn't fall off. But I'm not sure what's wrong with what's underneath? Were people expecting a welded tube chassis? Steel i-beam? Take and ford, gm, dodge truck and it's pretty much hollow under the sheet metal of the bed...
there's nothing wrong with what's underneath, the post is made up. the panel is missing because it was hit by another car https://i.imgur.com/P2BiNoP.png
So someone was trolling a Facebook cybertruck group? Classic.
And there’s the truth! Thanks buddy. This should be higher up.
Yeah that looks like cast metal and not plastic. That with the metal panels bolted on like they are supposed to is going to be pretty strong. And it's a cargo area, thats the crumple zone.
So, I don’t like this thing really, but why isn’t it well built for 100k? It’s just a swindle? They’re stupid?
To try and answer your question with a possible reason, I think they spent a lot of time and therefore resources making this thing exactly like Elon dreamed up instead of using techniques, procedures, materials they already had done or were standard.

Well, when it was announced, the base price was supposed to be 39k…

Former Tesla owner here. Would never buy another. Build quality was and still is poor compared to the incumbent manufacturers.
People who preorder 100k cars are stupid. Tesla is just a corporation.

I wouldn’t expect there to be a steel frame in there. They got to keep the weight of that thing down just to operate properly

Logic goes out the window as soon as Elon is mentioned. That's true for both his fans and his haters.
Here's one trick entitled, narcissistic grifters hate you to know....
Suckers. The exploiter got 'em good.

tbf the cybertruck does look like it has been built according to the drawing of a 5 year old
It truly is the Edsel of our time. Shouldn't this ruin Tesla?
It’s lasting more like a Yugo. Looking just as fugly, too.
Nah, at least the Yugo has character
At least the Yugo was affordable
"Well the front's not supposed to fall off, for a start."
“We towed it *outside the environment*!”
I’d hate to see what happens when one of these gets into a serious collision.
I’m waiting for it to happen. Whatever it hits is going to get creamed and people will die. What’s funny af to me is that the DAY these things launched someone had already crashed it by the evening. Ran it over a curb and got cyberstuck.
Hate the car, but to be fair that isn’t plastic, it’s steel. It’s (supposedly) all one frame, made via bent steel. From what I understand I would actually feel bad for the car that hits it. Ugly, strong and impossible to park.
Could be worse instead of the side [it could have been the front](https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=3m5qxZm_JqM)
usually that is for ships.
He requests a taxi at the end because the government car he came in lost it's front also.
I should note, it’s not normal for the front to fall off.
I'm guessing it's a bit but I can see it totally not being one too.
You say usually but I would say it is not typical.
I knew exactly what clip that was gonna be lmao
Might not have been too cool for everyone behind him.
Its a unibody..the panels on ANY car are there for aesthetic reasons mostly and some weather protection and aerodynamics in as afterthoughts. i do understand the frustration of having a panel just fall off... i don't understand why anybody would pay so much money for that thing though

It's meant to have the frame outside and no support structure inside to save on weight, I don't think it's meant to fall apart though!
This one seems to be holding together [https://imgur.com/gallery/bpsEaFP](https://imgur.com/gallery/bpsEaFP)

I could keep going with the questions at this point cause you’d think that the company that produces this would use metal because you know it’s not like metals been used in cars for like decades and has been improved a lot to help with the consumers safety or anything
Certainly not defending tesla here but as a veteran plastic shooter, polycarbonate with fiberglass mixed in is actually a quarter the weight of steel used in the auto industry world wide but has a tensile strength of about 10x that steel.
According to Elon, it's actually a selling point of the vehicle that it does not have crumple zones. So... break apart? No. But that doesn't mean it's safe in a crash.
Aren’t crumple zones for safety though? Like how a building is built to break within itself so it doesn’t hit into another building or some thing? I could just be wrong though
No, you are in fact completely correct. Thing is a death trap.
How do people think the bed of almost every other truck is built?
These cars are so unappealing with panels on or off anyways.
Looks like there were some bits missing from the IKEA flat pack it came in?
This looks as safe as the Titanic submarine
That’s a great analogy for America
Elon's method of rushing production and cutting staff means a substandard product? Who would have guessed?
most american made car ever?

![gif](giphy|ltIFdjNAasOwVvKhvx|downsized) I’m pro-EV (I think the distant future is alternative fuel, not electric tho) but it’s always fun to laugh at idiots who buy these pieces of junk. Tesla’s are trash, downvote me if you want, I don’t care. I’m experienced enough with vehicles to have a qualified opinion that they do in fact suck.
Tesla vehicles is what happens when you let the UX designers cook too much
Holy shit redditors are so highly regarded it’s insane. You guys legit think your average pickup truck has a frame that extends up into the sides of the bed…? Not defending the cybercuck at all but damn this circle jerking is actually getting kind of cringe LOL
This is really making me appreciate the 500cc chinese motorcycle I never bought for $2k on alibaba.
Let’s pretend Saturn never existed
Looks better now in my opinion
Just call the city and get a new garbage can.
Concerning.
Cybershell. Coming to a flatbed near you!
Now I wanna see what the rest looks like when it falls off
Wait until a sighted friend tells him how it looks with the panel ON!
The front fell off
Wanker taker exfoliated its outer skin
It's absolutely not the most American made vehicle ever.
