    A piece of shit that’s been sitting out in the sun for 4 months is likely to be more solid than a fresh one. But it’s also likely to be more brittle.

      The windshield is likely to crack while parked in the heat of the sun, the panel glue will also fail in the heat of the sun, and don’t get it wet, the doors don’t have any drain holes for water…

        You know how windshields have this dotted pattern along the edge?

        That is not there for style, that is there to make the glass heat up more evenly in sunlight, which in turn prevents temperature expansion and spontaneous cracking.

        The Cybertruck does not have that…

          They don’t have that? Oo
          That’s like car building 101. Even I’m aware what the purpose of the pattern is und I have absolutely nothing to do with cars.
          Would be interesting to know, if they just cheaped out or if it was a deliberate design choice by Elmo

            I didn’t know for what it was exactly, but I always asumed that it has to be some reason behind it or it wouldn’t be there.

            I guess i have more common sense then tesla.

            And even if i thought that seems useless i want it removed, i would first double check…
