The stainless steel body of Tesla’s Cybertruck is reportedly leading to issues with gaps in between the panels::The Cybertruck’s steel is made in “coils that resemble giant rolls of toilet paper,” WSJ reported.
that the truck is not designed or built right has been obvious from the getgo. Similar issues are found in all Tesla products, i’m not sure why we’re pretending otherwise
electric ground vehicles are not going to save the world
All steel coils resemble giant rolls of toilet paper no?
Worked for a car manufacturer doing statistical analysis on gap & flushness all over the exterior… And the door gaps are a bitch to get right. Probably the most difficult ones over the whole car. All the manufacturers struggle with this to a degree. This is also the one place where part quality is probably most critical.
The other gaps are usually handled by designing the angles in a beneficial way etc. When they show up in a bigger way it’s almost always bad design.
The regular Tesla cars have inconsistent panel gaps already, I feel this is a production issue, not a material issue.
What a shock 🙄
