This excellent youtube video by a critical cybertruck owner goes over every major body panel which is glued on.

It's clearly possible to rip off some of these panels by hand.

Kinda surprised they haven't started walking off the trucks given how easy some of them come off.

Most panels appear to be easily pealed off part of the way.

LMAO, Tesla owners have been saying all week that the reports of Cybertrucks rapidly disassembling themselves on the highway are fake news.

Turns out Cybertrucks are infact falling apart because the GLUE that holds the stainless steel panels in place can't survive winter temps 🫠.

Can't imagine any other car owners defending the car maker for their $100k+ ride falling the fuck apart every winter.

Morning, all

‘Starship’? The hubris is palpable, as the conglomeration of atmospheric debris nominally identified as a spacecraft has never once even achieved Low Earth Orbit.

Leon Musk’s euphemism #RUD or ‘Rapid Unscheduled Disassembly’ (aka ‘explosion’) is becoming both tired and inaccurate (unless RUD means ‘Regular Unscheduled Disassembly,’ and ‘Unscheduled’ is questionable also).

#Starship #RUD 💥 : A preliminary analysis indicated a leak of oxygen and fuel and that the problem could be quickly fixed. “Nothing so far suggests pushing next launch past next month.”
The rocket had been stretched several feet taller than earlier Starships — space for bigger tanks that hold 25 percent more propellant ⛽. nytimes.com/2025/01/16/science

A #turbopump is spinning at thousands of rotations per minute (RPM) while pumping liquids into the engines and keeping a stable inlet pressure. When the inlet pressure suddenly drops, cavitation can occur. This is where bubbles start to form on the pump blades, which start damaging the blades, and when moving at thousands of RPM, this can quickly destroy a pump and lead to an explosion 💥. To fix this, #SpaceX is redesigning the tank filtration nasaspaceflight.com/2024/02/mi
