I feel like I have seen this exact same damage multiple times already for the cyber truck. Same wheel and everything, front passenger side.

There must be some extremely faulty design with that wheel.

how tf are these things insurable, or even in compliance with federal motor vehicle safety standards?

how tf are these things insurable

That's the neat part, they aren't.

or even in compliance with federal motor vehicle safety standards?

Because American standards only focus on the safety of those inside the vehicle, they also assume that the manufacturers make the frame out of something at least a little stronger than wet tissue paper.

That thread is a swasticar support group.

[–] ThefuzzyFurryComrade@pawb.social 5 points 2 days ago (1 children)

To be fair, if I spent 60% of a house on such a useless vehicle, then I would probably need a lot of support too.

(In case the link expires, it links to a real estate listing costing 243,500 CAD or 171,000 USD. Meaning that the Swastdumpster would cost 58.4% of a rather nice house located here)

Wow Calgary has gotten expensive. I would just move to BC at that price lol

The prophecy has been fulfilled yet again

I think my Miata and Tercel have thicker control arms, and they're both a pinch heavier than 2000 lbs.

[–] Wizard_Pope@lemmy.world 16 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Wait it's really that thin??

[–] EddoWagt@feddit.nl 16 points 2 days ago (1 children)

What about the fact that the upper control arm seems to be mounted with 4 small bolts

[–] Wizard_Pope@lemmy.world 13 points 2 days ago

Well bolts are usually steel. The frame is aluminium. I assume the bolts would just shear off the frame entirely.

[–] Evil_Shrubbery@lemm.ee 12 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Holy shit.

So the thing in the OPs pic was done by some kid that kicked the tyre?

[–] Kecessa@sh.itjust.works 6 points 2 days ago (3 children)

It's a picture of the upper control arm when it's probably the lower ball joint that broke (and not the whole lower control arm)

[–] PraiseTheSoup@lemm.ee 14 points 2 days ago

Almost certainly the ball joint. Exact same thing happened to my 1993 Buick Regal. The difference is my car was worth fixing, even at 250k miles.

[–] Bytemeister@lemmy.world 7 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

Yep. My '99 Crown Vic did the same thing... around the 250,000 mile mark. Had it flatbedded to My local mechanic 400 bucks later I was back on the road.

Good thing this is a truck with similar body-on-frame construction, otherwise that would be really expens...oh wait...

[–] Evil_Shrubbery@lemm.ee 5 points 2 days ago

You are prob right (and prob it's a design shitshow below too), but if the car was moving the higher ball fucking off could lead to lower ball quitting the job soon after as well.

[–] Anomalocaris@lemm.ee 3 points 1 day ago

wouldn't surprise me it's Trump gives Tesla a military contract to mass produce cybershites for the military.

let the military get fucked with them.

[–] hddsx@lemmy.ca 4 points 1 day ago

Frame not suspension?

[–] Amanduh@lemm.ee 18 points 2 days ago (2 children)

The black actually looks sick on this

[–] SendMePhotos@lemmy.world 32 points 2 days ago (2 children)

I was going to say. It's not my style, but that matte finish looks better than stock for sure.

[–] Catoblepas@lemmy.blahaj.zone 32 points 2 days ago

Doing as much as possible to obscure its general shape can only make it look better.

[–] Tarquinn2049@lemmy.world 16 points 2 days ago

I have also seen some "cyber" paint jobs that look decent on it. But, it sucks getting an expensive paint job on it before it falls apart. And there are much nicer looking base cars to take advantage of a cyber paint job, like pretty much any recent lamborghini or even lower priced techie looking cars.

It makes me want to be sick on this.

Pretty sure that’s just a SwaziTruck in general thing.

[–] Diplomjodler3@lemmy.world 10 points 2 days ago

Is it supposed to do that?

[–] Kecessa@sh.itjust.works 7 points 2 days ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

That ain't no frame issue...

In this thread, people who never took a look at the mechanical components of a car.

[–] Illegalmexicant@lemmy.world 7 points 2 days ago

I would like to say that if it was 2018-ish and Elmo was just running around with "not a flamethrower", this dumpster would still be a piece of shit.
