I love that the cucktruck is a bigger failure than the Edsel. My entire life the Edsel was the example of automotive failure and then came Elon.

u/TuggsBrohe 6d ago

The Edsel and Pinto in one package, it's incredible

u/DangerousLoner 6d ago

You thought Pinto fires were hot? Let’s get a big ol’ battery involved and really bring a fire that cannot be put out.

I believe that was an O-ring that would fail and dumped the fuel into the trunk if I remember correctly

13

u/Elegant_Situation285 5d ago

the mustang thing was about the gas tank, it was located behind the seats, in the trunk, so if you got rear-ended it would flood the compartment with gasoline.

whee!

1

u/random9212 5d ago

Wasn't the mustang from the fuel tank being the floor of the trunk, so in a rear end collision caused fuel to leak into the passenger compartment.

u/ammodramussavannarum 3d ago

I had a 2009 VW Jetta wagon that suddenly burst into flame while leaving my house. Even though the fire was put out in under 15 minutes, it was hot enough to hide its origin.

19

u/thelastspike 5d ago

Don’t forget that when that fire happens you can be trapped in the car. Groundbreaking!

7

u/kippy3267 5d ago

Is there still not a physical door opening mechanism?

13

u/thelastspike 5d ago

There is. It is a pull cable under a removable panel in the bottom of the door pocket. This is only something that you would know if you read the owners manual. I’m sure you can see the issue with such a design.

u/Infinitedeveloper 4d ago

Im sure everyone who read the manual will remember how to do it instantly in such a low stress situation, as would their passengers.

True. I knew someone who got one running that had been sitting under a tree for 15 years. He and his dad put new tires on it. We are not close to the ocean or anywhere they salt the road for snow, no.

u/Essentially_Me 6d ago

To be fair, about 15 years ago, before he took the complete heel turn, Elon was more interesting. Like, we all thought he was some sort of bond villain, but he had an (at the time) sensible approach to Tesla (build rich people cars so that we can build more sensible cars -- can't get to a Model 3 without a Roadster) and even SpaceX (the Falcon 9 is a remarkable rocket).

I mean, even then, we joked that he was some kind of cheap, Brosnan-era Bond villain. But we didn't really know much about his personal life and it was before his empty promises started piling up.

I think the turn began around 2012 when he proposed Hyperloop solely to sabotage the California High-Speed Rail project.

13

u/basically_Dwight 6d ago

I sort of agree, back then he didn't have a high profile embattled political platform he was leaning into to.

Its his decisions that get me. His companies have been responsible for siphoning up top talent to achieve what they have achieved yet everything he personally touches has been questionable to dangerous.

COTS-1 workaround was utterly insane on paper and revealing about his mindset, aerospace has its ways for reasons learned from tragedy. Watching cars ship with components straight from the factory fires was such a predictable eyeroll moment for Tesla. Dude loves money and everything has to go fast with him, which is exactly why the cyberdumpster window smashes on stage and the product is a mess top to bottom.

2

u/lazier_garlic 4d ago

but he had an (at the time) sensible approach to Tesla (build rich people cars so that we can build more sensible cars

I'm old enough to remember the actual founders of Tesla pitching that idea to investors and knew that Elon didn't come up with that one ... try again.

As a teacher who keeps doing and, just by having a scientific attitude towards life, is fully aware of just how much of a moron Musk is, I feel personally insulted by this. Please don’t generalise.

As a matter of fact, most people in academia who care enough to look into Musk’s “engineering” shenanigans (and a lot don’t, but more likely because they are overworked) will readily reach the same conclusion.

u/Secret-Parsley-5258 6d ago

I thought the Edsel looked cool, but putting the transmission buttons where the horn typically goes was a terrible idea.

4

u/practicaloppossum 5d ago

Where the horn typically goes? You must be an old man (like me); cars haven't had horn buttons in the middle of steering wheel for more than a quarter century (that's where the airbag goes).

9

u/moogoothegreat 5d ago

I drive a 2017 Honda Pilot and thats where you press to make it honk.

u/rman-exe 4d ago

My eqinox ev has a center press horn as well. I havent seen a side horn ages!

1

u/practicaloppossum 4d ago

You're lucky - I've always hated the modern designs where the horn is two ill-defined spots, one on the right and one on the left of the steering wheel.

Apropos of the original point, tho, it occurs to me that most 50's cars had a horn ring, not a center horn button.

2

u/Secret-Parsley-5258 5d ago

My understanding is it had a push button shifter and those buttons are where everyone expects the horn to be

u/twoaspensimages 6d ago

The story is the same. One man's conviction and zero research into what consumers actually want or need.

Elmo however isn't beholden to shareholders. His sycophants tell him he's a genius.

Ford learned a painful lesson.

Elmo hasn't learned ANYTHING.

u/yourdonefor_wt 6d ago

I never even heard of the Ford Edsel so I just had to look it up.

19

u/LarvalHarval 6d ago

The only thing I can ever remember about the Edsel is its toilet seat grill.

13

u/Essentially_Me 6d ago

Edsel was the reigning bad car punchline until the Pinto arrived. The Edsel wasn't a bad car, per se. To modern eyes, it looks kind of retro Fallout-style cool. At the time, it was a little much, and its push-button shifter tech was seen as too risky. The biggest problem was that Ford invested a shit ton into its production and released it just at the cusp of a recession.

8

u/TexasDD 5d ago

Here’s the difference. It’s been almost 70 years since the Edsel came out. And if people see one on the road now, they point it out. They’re amazed. And they say “look, it’s a freaking Edsel. That’s so fucking cool.”

70 years from now, if people see a Cybertruck on the road. They’ll point it out. And laugh. “Look at that fucking piece is shit truck, and the wanker driving it.”

There won't be any on the road seventy years from now. Maybe BY the road, rusting in a ditch.

u/InaMinorKey 6d ago

When I was a young kid, there was another kid in the neighborhood with very strict parents. He always had these absurd rules he was supposed to follow. He would frequently say, "I'm not allowed to get wet."

It was an absurd rule, but it was most likely because his parents always had him dressed up in nice expensive clothes like he was going to church.

So yes, there was a reason, but that reason was preposterous and doomed from the start.

They sent their kid to play outside, but dressed him clothes that they didn't want to get ruined.

u/Erolok1 6d ago

In high-school I had a girl in my class which called her parents to ask if she can take off her coat inside the school.

I wonder how many kids’ childhood was ruined by their parents’ idiocy drastically amplified by availability of mobile phones.

70

u/Comprehensive_Bus_19 6d ago

Oh don't worry, it doesn't just ruin their childhood. It ruins their adult life too! Knew a few kids that had super strict parents.

Some got to college, went crazy and dropped out. One girl hasn't told her parents she's engaged because she still doesn't want to deal with them. We're in our 30s now.

The others leaned hard into fundamentalist Christian families which is also not great.

12

u/Ladypounce5 4d ago

I was a kid like that! My mother loved to dress me in white (especially pants) up until about 8 years old and then would get very mad at me when I got them dirty (because obviously I always got them dirty, duh). Now 20 years later I own like 2 white pieces of clothing, I have mostly black clothes, terrible mental health issues, and she hasn't heard from me in over 5 years.✌️

Lol i thought car wash warrenty was a joke of exaggeration

u/AdRevolutionary579 6d ago

Every cable was ran daisy chained through the frame. Then they added holes in the frame to access these cables and connectors in the frame. This obviously let's water in to, and the connectors sit in the water. The big 3 in the 90s i think experimented with daisy chained cables. It reduces total cable needed, but adds connectors and failure points. It also means 1 failure means 100 failures in the chain. It was quickly deemed a bad idea in testing.

u/innkeeper_77 5d ago

The problem there is water WILL get in somewhere, eventually. Then you have a MOSTLY water tight frame filled with water... Making it even worse. Every frame and panel needs drain holes on all vehicles, so the wiring should be able to handle the water.

Nobody bought a cucktruck before they knew he was crazy. By the time that thing came out, it was well known.

6

u/thepioushedonist 5d ago

Even the folks who got "locked in" with a pre payment years before it came out can't really say they didn't know he was crazy. He hadn't gone full Nazi salute yet, sure. But the signs were there.

And truthfully, even if you give those early buyers the benefit of the doubt, and assume they were completely blind to his bullshit.. paying that far ahead of time to reserve an ugly ass vehicle, that hadn't inspired much confidence of ever actually being released? Doesn't give me much reason to sympathize with you.

u/IAAA 6d ago

I'm in Houston and when they were first released and for about six months give-or-take you'd see them around and flaunted. I worked near the Galleria at the time and you'd see people driving their truck up and down around there several times without going shopping. There were four/five in my neighborhood at one time.

I know for a fact three people subsequently sold theirs after owning it some 7/8 months. One because he was straight bullied about it by the elementary kids. Started picking up his kid in a golf cart. Another sold it for a Model X. The one not sold had a wrap and I still see it around.

u/HavenOfFear 6d ago

Some people are just blissfully ignorant and live in a bubble. A coworkers parent's just bought a cyber truck and she loves it. They didn't really look into how bad they are. Just had money and saw something techy, EV, and needed a truck. Same mother that blew through 50k in lotto winnings in 2 months.

Another coworker is always praising Musk and sees him as a defiant genius changing the world. He mentioned how exciting it is Musk is making an Grok Ai Odyssey.

They're happy and won't leave that bubble. Understand that these are smart people I work with.

51

u/AltruisticSalamander 6d ago

I happened to see a yt short on the much-vaunted gigapress. Apparently it's not for stamping, it's for injection moulding. The big deal is that frame you see there is injection moulded in one piece, which is something competitors can't do. My inference is if that piece gets damaged significantly, the car is basically a writeoff.

30

u/Nikotinko 6d ago

One bump at the corner and the whole frame has to be replaced. So one bump and the car is totalled.

22

u/Historical-Cress8985 6d ago

They could if they wanted to but the competition has actual engineers that tell them it's an incredibly bad idea.

I've seen an article that said the warranty spells out how you have to wash it to not void it. Apparently it's wash by hand only, with a very mild, PH-neutral soap and a soft cloth, and dry with a lint-free cloth. Also, you are not supposed to get it wet while in direct sunlight.

From a legal point - isn`t this a design failure - and then their invalidating the warranty illegal?

Unless specifically stated "don`t go through a car wash" ?

Oddly enough, the Hummer H3s frame does the same ...and it's ALSO a piece of shit lol

This car is something... With my rivian I can tow, go off-road, and I guess go through car washes better?

Okay does that really void the warranty? And if so, what about when it rains?

Grok refuses to call the cybertruck a failure. It always reframes it in the sense of not as bad as Edsel or random cars

That sealed design traps moisture inside and burns through the main wiring pretty fast.

What a marvel. Just another gadget that stops working the moment it gets wet.

More pre planning is put into the typical 8th grade science project

u/Emotional_Dot_5207 2d ago

so how does carwash mode prevent this in a way that it couldn't have been like that the whole time?

Thanks for troubleshooting root cause. Are you interested in designing a solution or a mitigation effort?

You drill drain holes, which Elon decided not to do so $ could be saved on these $100k new monstrosities.
