“Seeing the photo first, I thought this fool tried to tattoo hair on.”

Seeing the photo first, I thought this fool tried to tattoo hair on. I don’t think hair transplants are supposed to look like that though. That looks infected. This man bought the Larry Miller Hair System.

“if they could not fly, no one else can either.”

The car has not been crash tested by the IIHS or the NHTSA. Since it’s mis-classified as a Class 3 light truck (it’s about 900 pounds short of the GVW requirement, but Musk doesn’t care), it’s exempt from a lot of otherwise required safety details.

You're not saying anything useful here.

you literally can’t take it into a car wash because they have unprotected wiring that runs through places where water can accumulate 

But they weren’t. Mercedes (the cars), Audi, Bentley, Porsche, Jaguar, and Hyundai have had 48v mild hybrids for years now. In fact, the E Class was available with one from the last generation, and the current one (started shipping May of last year) is ONLY available as a 48v mild hybrid. I think the cybertruck is…

So the Cybertruck IS the best at deleting practical engineering and safety

I haven’t seen/read any reviews for the Vinfast, but the Fisker Ocean’s bad press comes mainly from software bugs. The design and execution of the physical car itself were actually praised. 

The Cybertruck is absolutely NOT the first production vehicle with a 48v architecture. Mercedes, Audi, Jaguar, Bentley, Porsche, and even Hyundai have had 48v systems in their mild hybrids since at least 2018. I believe the Cybertruck is the first EV with a 48v system, but Tesla is in no way a pioneer of this…

Confirmation of your bias exists in the fact that many of those articles you complain about are sourced from Tesla owners. Jalopnik didn’t create them from thin air.

It has no crumple zones. It has no side impact rails. It has a steer by wire system with no mechanical backup, so if you lose power mid-corner you’re going to die. It cannot go through a car wash without ruining the body panels. It has a windshield wiper that breaks down constantly. It has a manual release for the…

Even the 48V architecture has been around for quite a while. There was a push among the SAE to implement it well over a decade ago. I’ll give Tesla credit for being the first to implement it into a production vehicle.

Its not the first production vehicle to use a 48v system. Bentley was the first. RAM uses 48v systems in their e-torque models. 

Stalephish is a Tesla shill. So is EUC.

I’m indeed very well aware how deep the anti-Tesla biased reporting has descended to...

They’re saying that StalePhish is a Tesla shill, not Jalopnik. They rarely say anything negative about Tesla...

Type Cybertruck in the search bar on this site and see all the articles pointing out all of the terrible design and build quality issues to see the answer to your question. But one of the easiest to point out is that they made a wheel cover that actually tears up the wheel, and somehow failed to see this in testing,  j…

I’m going to go out on a limb here and say that mechanical fail-safes shouldn’t count since they’re not normally active. If that’s accepted the first would be the 2014 Infiniti Q50. They’re also 20 years behind the curve for giving a pickup rear-steer, but at least with it being standard equipment they won’t have…
