I fucking called it! This for sure is the first hub cap to ever come off a vehicle while traveling down the road.

But lets hold Tesla to a higher standard. It is our duty!

So there are a few silly posts, that doesn't change the reality of how wack the CT is and how many fuck ups, breakdowns, defects and general nonsense about that overpriced dumpster looking thing on wheels, for the price it's selling for. at least they are just silly, and not completely denying reality, as CT defenders are.

You are choosing a really weird hill to die on.

You really do look pathetic. The car that could be a boat right? The amount of documentation about the insane defects, flaws, bad design, two recalls, and just being a massively overpriced boondoggle of a truck release is really grinding at you inside. Not to mention how much bullshit flew out of Elon's mouth about this truck that was just all make believe.

Do you use the Elon blow up doll with or without lube usually?

It warms my heart every time you look down on me. I think we are up to a dozen or more now.

I don't recall any other 100k car having that problem. Do enlighten me if you know of one.

Also, I don't remember any other car company that designed a wheel cover that covers part of the tire wall.

On a truck! What happens to those covers when you're up to the frame in mud, spinning tires trying to get traction? We are still pretending it's a real truck, right?

in all seriousness, this was a terrible and low quality launch of a vehicle, especially one with all this hype, it's a giant let down, tons of issues, recalls, poor design choices. And the hype was driven by Tesla! It's not like they are not living up to others expectations, it's a giant shortfall from their own goddamn messaging!

If any carmaker did this it would be panned, but you are trying to make it all seem like just pretty normal. It's really weird.

Don't worry, they've got robotaxis coming next month soon. And robots and AI. 😉

Thats why the CT doesnt come with hubcaps. They were either flying off at high speed or damaging the tyres.
Thats not speculation or innuendo, thats exactly what happened and thats why it doesnt come with them anymore.

Tesla's new Cybertruck wheel caps are not easy on the eyes

Tesla has started rolling out its new Cybertruck wheel caps, which shouldn’t fall off this time, but the solution is...

I mean they wont stay on when you lower the pressure if youre off roading anyway! They'll pop right off because theres no room for the tyre to expand sideways so at least you wont have to root around in the mud to find them, theyll be laying on the ground in the car park!
 
WhistlinDiesel got a Cybertruck, hope he doesn't destroy it on day 1 by crushing it with the excavator going through the car wash though, I'd like to see a fair durability test that lasts a few videos. 😛

I need to see a rocket-engine-powered Cybertruck on a monster truck frame lol

It's not exactly a competitive market with 5 models (4 if you discount the hummer). I will be curious to see how sales hold over time compared to the others

Chevy just released to me a fairly competitive product in the Silverado EV that has a huge range of 450 miles and comes with a full size spare. I will be interested to see how sales ramp up with that model. The 450 miles of range means you can actually tow something a reasonable distance.
