This has exposed the sales numbers, and impressively, it's sold even worse than the Fire Phone.

46k trucks sold so far. For comparison, rivian sells about that many of their trucks every year.

[–] salacious_coaster@infosec.pub 1 points 7 months ago (1 children)

I still can't believe that 46k people are both that stupid and have 100k to spend.

. . . and have 100k to spend.

You can get an 84 month auto loan these days if you're dumb enough to do it.

I’m curious, does Tesla have its own financing division that gives out these loans?

[–] ohulancutash@feddit.uk 1 points 7 months ago

They do.

That's still over $1000 a month to buy a fucking car

Here is a guy explaining the problem. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3WldSl3HGr8

It appears multiple panels on the truck are just glued on which is crazy. Will Tesla just slather on bunch more glue and call it good? That seems like a bandaid over a pretty major problem. I'll be sure there is a large distance between my car and one of these shitty trucks on the road in case they decide to shed some large panels.

According to the article I read yesterday they are adding stronger glue and a bolt.

[–] Zron@lemmy.world 0 points 7 months ago (1 children)

That is also what this article says.

Although a single bolt is going to need to be quite strong to hold down a long piece of steel exposed to high speed wind regularly.

[–] cley_faye@lemmy.world 1 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Let's hope they won't cheap out on those bolts. Thankfully cheaping out on everything is not an habit they have, right?

[–] MentalEdge@sopuli.xyz 1 points 7 months ago

Nono. Not bolts.

A. Bolt.

The new models are being fixed by “nut clamping”

[–] svc@lemmy.frozeninferno.xyz 1 points 7 months ago

Can I be added to the recall? 🥹
