It’s simple. Merc was either unaware of how close they were to the weight limit or miscalculated how much weight was being lost to the tires on an extended one-stop.

I mean, this is in the same bucket as using cruise control at 70 in icy conditions then being mad that you spun out. “But the car has traction control, stability control, and cruise control!”....Theyre there to help, they dont make you invincible and you still need to use judgement on the situation around you. This…

Huh. I really thought Stellantis's plan of not investing money in new products would be paying off by now, maybe they should cut r&d a little more

HAHAHA!
You were hoovering up as much cash as you were from dinosaur product, with sky-high prices just a few quarters ago.
“Most profitable automaker in the world!” (Where did all that cash go?)
Then when high interest rates come in, and customers wise up to your gouging, and kill your game, you’re all “shocked Pikachu…

You know that Tesla does not make windshield right ? like no car manufacturer make windshield. Saint Gobain, AGP...etc are the one who make them for the car manufacturers and they probably have the same spec when it comes to safety.

The good times (read: extremely high prices) had to come to an end eventually.

To be fair, wouldn’t any windshield shatter under the same circumstances?

LOL at the Tela hate. You guys are worse than an spiteful ex-gf.

The company that achieved some of the highest crash test ratings ever tested on its four other vehicles is going to somehow forget how to do computational simulations of crashes? I have lots of stuff to crap on Tesla for, but crash testing is not one of them.

You act as if they couldn’t make a hybrid and a BEV.  

Good. Fuck em.

I was just talking to my wife about this as we saw our fourth Element within two blocks of each other this past weekend.  I said “People really do love that car.  They should bring it back as an EV.”

I suspect the CyberTurd will do just fine in terms of protecting it’s passengers - so far Tesla is EXCELLENT at that, and I say that some one who hates the damned thing. But I also expect that it will get that performance the same way as every other large truck - YOUR car is it’s primary crumple zone.

There are many legitimate complaints about Tesla, but their crash test results to date has been excellent.

*you* are the reason

So, here’s my question: at what point will the cybertruck’s creator be separated from the truck itself? We tend to laugh or roll our eyes at someone who won’t own a foreign car over a Domestic, or wont buy a Mitsubishi because they made some planes in the 1940s that did some horrific things. But the reasoning is kind…

I had a Maverick for almost 5,000 miles (until someone hit it, RIP) and never had an issue with the shifter.  Never shifted into Park on accident.  I think you’re trying to make a problem out of sometime that everyone gets used in in less than a day.

FYI, most trucks made today cannot hold a full-sized mountain bike. From end to end, my smallest bike is about 5.5 feet long while my biggest is just under 7 feet. Everyone I know who has a truck, and is serious about biking, uses a tailgate pad.

so sometime in 2100?  Wouldnt describe the order filling as fast heh.

yep
