    Im vague aware though my interests lay with metallurgy and old pieces of tech, these two kinda feed into eachother. Anyways my point shouldve reflected moreso on the fact that Tesla has shit build quality that makes the Ford Pinto look like an M1 Abrams in comparison, do you really think they are using decwnt quality adhesive for their vehicles?

      I think the engineering is probably mostly sound. I don’t trust the execution. Many adhesives need specific curing times, temperatures, UV lights, whatever. If you don’t respect those…

      That’s my concern. Application/execution, not design. Let’s remember that Musk believes in advancing by BOOOM

        The cybertruck has a fucking aluminum frame, its tow hitch is attached to fucken aluminum. The engineering on the cybertruck is a crapshoot from that alone.
