Yeah this. Total shit. I had a Model S P100D and the doors didn't even shut or line up properly. If you can't get the basics right then there's going to be a lot of problems hiding away that you can't see and serious procedural and process problems.
On mine I had unintended braking randomly in the middle of the motorway. I think that's less fucked than unintended acceleration at least. Maybe not for the guy behind me.
I now don't own a car. It was the most money I've lost in one go and the worst vehicle I've ever driven.
Was this back when they had radar? Unintended braking is/was a common issue for all manufacturers - my Prius would randomly slam on the brakes whenever I went underneath a bridge.
If the pedal, one of the 4 primary ways of controlling the 3 ton vehicle, is this egregiously faulty, then where else has Telsa skimped on vital QA in the design?
The culture that leads to cheap glue holding on a piece that can jam the pedal down likely cut corners in 100 other places.
That's not at all what was said. It's fair to assume that this is one additioanal issue we've seen with the Cybertruck, and when you add all those things up, you realize the Cybertruck is doomed.
Why do you think this person meant that this single deficiency is the reason it's doomed? Have you thought that way in the past about things?
No it's doomed because it's a classic Elon Musk product: it was rushed into production, build quality is low and the aesthetics, which are unrefined and overwhelming, are used to mask an overall shoddy product that overpromised and underdelivered. The pedals are just one example of it. The body panel gaps and poor off-road performance are others.
They don't meet their reported towing spec, they haul about as much as a cargo bike, they can't off-road.
The only reason to own one is to participate in the culture war. That sort of thing tends to cycle quickly.
