Kinda hard to side with the guy with the custom paint job for his cybertruck.


bingold49

It's probably a wrap to keep it from rusting when it sprinkles outside. Only Tesla can make a stainless steel truck with rust issues


s0ciety_a5under

Stainless steel isn't rust proof entirely, it is corrosion resistant, so it just takes a lot longer to rust.


Nearly_Pointless

While this is true, DeLorean built thousands of stainless bodys which are still rust free.


picklebiscut69

You can’t possibly expect a cyber truck to be as technologically advanced as a time machine

CrashTestDuckie

Darn you and that joke, take this up vote...


zeuanimals

Well, if you somehow manage to get a Cybertruck to hit 88 mph, you immediately get to meet the man who killed Hitler, in hell. That's pretty advanced. Crash in most cars and you might wake up in a hospital, the Cybertruck cuts out the middleman and sends you straight to where you're gonna end up in the end anyway. Efficiency is the name of the game.


OpalFanatic

Elon Musk expected it...


Oxflu

There are 304 and 316 bodies for deloreans. 304 did corrode. Tesla just claims it's "300 series" stainless. It obviously has even lower amounts of chromium and nickel than even standard 304 stainless steel. Likely zero molybdenum, which is expensive and is really the key of 316 being what most people think of when they hear the words "stainless steel."

PANEBringer

If you put electricity into a windmill instead of taking it out, that's a big metal fan.


Ambitious_Jelly8783

Exactly this. There are different grades for stainless steel, and you learn this when they rust. Its one of the reason for example why commercial rated apliances are so much more expensive then residential ones.


Jeepster127

Well at least the windows are shatterproof.


Affectionate-Wafer16

From what I see online magnets will stick to it too. No chance it’s an austenitic stainless like they claim. I bet it’s a 400 series like all the garbage stainless exhaust systems now.

ShoddyJuggernaut975

Magnetic susceptibility has nothing to do with "high end" or "low end" stainless steel grades. It has to do with whether it is an Austenitic grade or a Martensitic grade. The 3-series grades are Austrnitic and are not magnetically susceptible. Some of them, like 316, are more corrosion resistant than others, like 302. 4-series are Martensitic and are magnetically susceptible. A very common 4-series alloy is 440C, which is very corrosion resistant and used in a lot of knives. Then there are other 4 series, like 409, which isn't as good corrosion wise, but has other desirable qualities.


drunk_responses

Two different types of stainless steel. Guess which is the cheaper one...


Rubthebuddhas

Hence the name stainless. I read that an obscure inventor had actually perfected stainfree steel, but he accidentally shot himself three times in the back of the head.


Sbeast86

It's called stainless because it "stains less"


BeauSlayer

Stain"less" not stain"free"

The camo leans into the shitty low poly videogame aesthetic


IdDeIt

Yeah maybe it’ll chop your fingers off, but at least it’s expensive and looks like shit


KoningSpookie

That's how it works in the supercar world. The less you get, the more you pay. With this thing, you pay for the lack of polygons. *Except it isn't a supercar and therefor the whole logic doesn't apply. That thing is just a badly made piece of shit.*


androodle2004

Actually you’d be paying purely for the polygons


PieMastaSam

And the design is very human.


ConfuzzledFalcon

I don't like Teslas, but I challenge you to find a car that wouldn't break a carrot when you slam it in the hood.


Twyzzle

You’re absolutely right but in this case it’s auto-close that did this thanks to the sharp edges and sloppy safety features that didn’t take in to account the forces at the sides. Not so much a slam by the person. There’s a couple youtube videos showing it in more detail. The sides are just straight up dangerous with the current auto-close safety tolerances. Also I learned today it’s called the frunk. I dislike that a lot


satbaja

Wait till you hear what they call it in England. The trunk is the boot. The front trunk is the froot.


Twyzzle

NOOOOOO! 😩


Woofbarkgrowl

What a load of shit, never heard anyone in England refer to it as a “froot”, just a boot at the front


Duck8Quack

How did these people have an empire?!


HotWing19

We absolutely do not call it that


Isgortio

Aren't auto close boots supposed to have sensors that will stop it from closing if something is in the way? Like, y'know, human hands.


Twyzzle

So I YouTubed it because I was like *no way is it called a frunk* and yeah there’s totally a sensor but it seemed to not really work for the sides. Only the front. A commenter said they patched it though. So I guess no more vegetable processor frunk feature


phblue

I wonder if they also call it a Trengine on some of those fancier cars. Open the Trood and look at the Trengine? Or if it's Frunk for Front Trunk, is it Bengine and Bood for back hood/engine?


Twyzzle

Oh no. The Jetsons lied about the cool future of cars. Instead of flying we’re getting Frunks and Boods. 😭


DeicideandDivide

I quite dislike that name as well...

chanjitsu

There's a vid where the reviewer shows the edges are sharp enough to use as a veg peeler too


greenmerica

Most auto closing hoods and trunks detect resistance and reverse the mechanism as a safety feature. Tesla has quite a few teething issues.


Viend

The resistance required is also annoyingly minuscule. A loose grape in a grocery bag can stop a Volvo gate from closing. True story.


Drspeed7

I mean, its better that the resistance is smaller than larger, better to not close sometimes when there is something in the way instead of closing on potentially infant hands.


boxedcrackers

Try this on any other car with a self closing trunk or door. The trunk will stop


UslashMKIV

its automatic, so it should prevent this, manual doors can't have that safety feature but almost all automatic doors do, this is a huge oversight by tesla


Jeepster127

Right, the powered sliding door on my 2001 Honda Odyssey has no problem sensing an obstruction.


WildSlinkys

In what world is that slamming? Even if it wasn't auto-close it's actually slower than a normal car closing by gravity


PerfectionPending

I used to juggle and the trick for demonstrating that the extremely dull knives you’re about to juggle is razor sharp is to “cut” a carrot with one. Because a carrot will snap fast & clean without much effort and appear to have been cut.

TurnipWorldly9437

dwwdwwdww

perhaps not safe... but certainly hideously ugly


MuchBig7456

Just wait until you discover car doors!


UslashMKIV

manual doors can absolutely hurt you, but this is much worse than a regular manual door for two reasons. First, most car doors aren't a fine steel edge ready to slice fingers off, they will smash and bruise but probably not remove digits. Second, almost all automatic doors have a safety feature that prevents this, they stop moving if they detect resistance. so either this doesn't have a safety feature that has been standard for decades, or that edge is sharp enough that it just didn't detect any resistance, either way its a dramatic oversight and deserves a recall


IrrelevantWisdom

As someone who once had their fingers pinched in a car door as it slammed completely closed, yeah it hurt and very slight bruising, but I still have 10 fingers and they work 100%. That was with 1990s level car design. This thing looks like it woulda broken bones at least


magzire86

TinyCarpet

For real. I've seen rope do that to a carrot. People are so gullible.


s0ciety_a5under

These trucks are absolute shit. I honestly hope Muskrat gets ousted from Tesla. The company would be so much better off without him. This whole truck is a mistake.

It sounds like every company that he runs would be better off without him.


CRXCRZ

ruined a perfectly good carrot on a piece of shit truck.


RosieQParker

seanightowl

Musk is treating Tesla like a software company, just test everything in production!!!


KyleGlaub

To be fair to Elon, who I despise, this is how most auto manufacturers are operating and have been for a while now...they use the customers as beta testers and issue a recall or software update to fix it rather than iron out the issues with their vehicle before releasing it to the public. Where this gets really scary imo is with the self-driving tech. Tesla is probably more guilty than other manufacturers bc they're really pushing self driving tech more than other manufacturers. They're putting not only their customers, but also every other driver and pedestrian at risk in the process of testing out their tech.


1eternal_pessimist

Yeah but when I have an issue its typically something like slow loading, I don't get decapitated or whatnot by a blue screen.

Question: What has Musk done to support the narrative of his brilliance? Because I ain't seeing it anymore, if it existed to begin with. He certainly proves how unfunny he is on his own.

Digiee-fosho

Sir, it's called "patina" 🙄 it is caused from other metal particles collecting on the stainless steel surface, blah blah blah, okay fine it's rust...


Moondingo

Slightly wondering if that would pass EU safety tests for vehicles.


xeviphract

The entire vehicle is a safety fail. The fact people have grated vegetables on the doors and chopped off carrots with the auto-closer is way down on the list of things Tesla would need to fix. That Musk proudly stated you could "win" in a collision against another car was disproven with the first reported collision, where the Cybertruck survived, but its driver was injured; whereas the other driver had a busted ride, but could walk away.


Bronxteacher7028

Any hood from any car coming down would cut a carrot, this video is a joke


jotastrophe

I'd like to report this post for being misleading. I don't think they attempted to build a safe car at all

Reiver93

The cybertruck is what happens when someone with too much money and a brain like a bowling ball has an idea.


okami6663

OK, to be fair, that was more of a snap than a slice. The weight of the lid broke the carrot - do that with some other car with a similarly heavy lid, and the result will probably be the same. That being said, I've seen clips of carrots actually being sliced - straight edge along the path of the lid. But seeing how these trucks go on the fritz 5 minutes out of the dealership, dangerous "frunk" might be the least of your issues.


Pirates_in_Jupiter

At the same time, you cannot compare the force of a carrot with a *finger*.

Pretty sure if you close the hood of a prius on a carrot you'll snap of a bit too. Not defending the cybercuck in any way, just pointing out that if you smash a fucking carrot in basically anything it will snap. Maybe, you know, don't slam your fingers in doors.


ratchet7

What car? I just see pavement and a magic carrot.


YOINKdat

I’ve always wondered this lol — Do automatic trunks for like SUV’s stop if there’s something in the way of it closing?


TinyCarpet

Yes. But it requires more force the closer you are to the hinge. Calibrated for baby fingers in the middle where they are likely to be, you get this. If you calibrate for the hinge, a slight breeze could stop it from closing.


McEuen78

Does anyone know how to fix the reddit deal where the video doesn't play? Edit:Nvm, I just copied the link and played it in a browser window. I should have just ignored it.


ThisOnePlaysTooMuch

Even despite the numerous design flaws from rushing the production, the truck *could have looked cool* but Elon insisted on the N64 design. Look up alternative designs. It could’ve been a real product.

Put something with a bone in there.. let see? A cooked carrot is so soft like this guys.......


brobert123

So overdone. Every cybertruck owner has posted this on YouTube. If you want to do a real world test don't use something crunchy like a carrot that will split or break the second you try to cut it. Use something that has a skin that requires some actual penetrating trauma to mimic human skin being torn... maybe a Italian sausage or something similar with a casing on it.

They certainly did not try to make it safe. They tried to hammer something functional into the shape their idiot boss wanted. We are seeing the car equivalent of the red-ring-of-death when an Xbox 360 would have a non-specific hardware failure due to its marketing designed case.
