I know the Cybertruck as a "release" is stretching it, but it technically did release. Prematurely, 100%. But it's out there.

The QC on the Cybertruck pretty much shows why they lost their brand power over the years, though. Even when ignoring the politics.



I’m waiting for owners to discover water damage in the equipment under the hood liner: Cybertruck’s lack a scuttle/cowl/gutter [0] to collect and divert water from the bottom of the windshield. Basically every car ever has one, except the Cybertruck. This isn’t a QC problem — it’s just poor design.

[0] I’m not sure anyone agrees what it’s called.


I wouldn't be surprised to learn that they simply solved this problem a different way.


The cybertruck cleared “released”, what it failed is “decent”.

Was never Tesla’s forte.
