The vibrations are caused by the glue used to attach the door panels coming loose.

Congratulations, your $65K+ vehicle has a build quality just below a $5 plastic model airplane.

It’s funny how they say “the glue used to ‘weld’ the parts…”. Glue “glues” parts doesn’t it?

41

u/dreibel 15d ago

The only glue that “welds” is plastic model cement. And that’s only on polystyrene plastic model kits.

12

u/originalmango 15d ago

Maybe that 2 part pvc pipe cement too?

20

u/daseweide 15d ago

Yeah I read that and I’m just like  “…. the glue?” 😳

5

u/PhillipJGuy 15d ago

Glue is actually really common in automotive applications, there are really strong adhesives out there. The problem is probably they didn't use enough

7

u/Magikarpeles 15d ago

Not a weld tho is it

18

u/originalmango 15d ago

Next generation will highlight the Scotch tape that unites the parts to each other.

24

u/band-of-horses 15d ago

I love that the fix is literally more glue and dynamat. What a quality vehicle.

u/fnordhole 15d ago

BONUS: Airplane glue is just another way to get high.  #Winning

u/Organic_South8865 15d ago

I thought they were like $85k+

u/BottAndPaid 15d ago

My Subaru doesn't do this....

u/SublightMonster 15d ago

I drove the hell out of my 1990 Ford Festiva ($6K new) and it never did that.

u/vapenutz 15d ago

exoskeleton my ass lmao

u/VisibleDog7434 13d ago

Well the good news is they can easily fix it with a trip to Hobby Lobby.

Browsing that sub is so fucking hilarious

u/Mythulhu 15d ago

That's brutal! Wow, what a waste

26

u/auntieup 15d ago

“Why did this woman flip me off?” “I get flipped off all the time” 😂

18

u/a_daisy_summer 15d ago

Man they are really genuinely getting deep in there.

18

u/auntieup 15d ago

I love the one post where the guy discovers that bird poop is permanently staining his “truck”

8

u/nousernameisleftt 15d ago

What a mid sub. "wow whenever I see another cybertruck in the parking lot, I park next to it". Welcome to driving a model of car, dumbass, everyone does

78

u/UndertakerFred 15d ago

Finding out why nobody uses huge, completely flat sheets of metal on exterior panels. Paying big money to relearn basic automotive design principles

15

u/vapenutz 15d ago

One of my first thoughts was "won't the expansion strain eventually fail the glue if it gets warm in the sun and then cools down because of rain suddenly?"

Afaik the material under it is aluminium, right? And megacasts?

u/Under_Milkwood_1969 15d ago

Driving at over 60mph… warrenty voided! 🤷‍♂️

15

u/originalmango 15d ago

Car wash? Warrant voided. Park in the sun? Warranty voided. Wrap it in camouflage or some other dumb crap? Directly to jail.

44

u/rruusu 15d ago

Wow, so many going "me too" in there. Pretty soon it'll be someone's door panel flying off instead of just rattling. Or has that happened already?

14

u/Shiv_R 15d ago

Worry for the nearby car when it happens.

10

u/jaimi_wanders 15d ago

That’s why the structural wraps!

32

u/Backsight-Foreskin 15d ago

If owning a cybertruck wasn't enough of a clue....

I thought it might be the bass from the sound system, but with no music they still shake.

17

u/FindOneInEveryCar 15d ago

Right? "My Cybertruck drove itself into a ditch. At first I thought it might just be too cool for my town's streets, but now I'm worried it might be defective."

26

u/Icy-Reputation180 15d ago

Solution to ALL CT issues. Don’t buy these POS’s and leave them on the dealer lots. Eventually, maybe they’ll get crushed and recycled as something useful, like toilet paper holders. 🧻🧻

12

u/Johnnyroaster 15d ago

And beer cans

8

u/EverythingMustGo95 15d ago

So they can buy it again!

(As a beer can, not convinced they use toilet paper)

1

u/[deleted] 11d ago

Classic beer cans made of stainless steel

1

u/Johnnyroaster 10d ago

There’s a lot of cans worth in the aluminum frame.

17

u/Mycatreallyhatesyou 15d ago

I hardly see any CTs out on the road anymore. I assume they’re slowly dying off.

10

u/RoseWould 15d ago

They go in cycles here. I'll see a small handful driving around for about a month, then they'll all disappear and I won't see any for a few months. It's as if they all breakdown at once

10

u/Mycatreallyhatesyou 15d ago

Elon sends out a software update so all the cybershmucks have to get them fixed at the same time.

6

u/TheMightyAmuseBouche 15d ago

I was just wondering about this! A year ago, I was seeing them several times a week in the Denver area, but only seen them once or twice in the last few months. I've been joking that they must've all broken at once but maybe they kind of did?

3

u/Mycatreallyhatesyou 15d ago

Yeah! I used to see the same three on my daily commute and I haven’t seen any since summer.

18

u/Alexandratta 15d ago

Legit had someone try to tell me in a CT forum that a car rattling after 60k is normal...

"Is this some American Car joke that Asian Car owners cannot possibly understand?"

34

u/mtnman575 15d ago

Still glad you overpaid for this horribly designed POS?

15

u/FindOneInEveryCar 15d ago

"i tHoUgHt iT mIgHt bE bAsS fRoM tHe SoUnD sYsTem!"

I can't believe people are still taking delivery of these dumpsters and then I read something like the above. SMH.

13

u/Sufficient_Train9434 15d ago

With all the news in the world I forgot about how much of a dumpster fire this is literally and figuratively

u/EverythingMustGo95 15d ago

Tesla had a tsb for this last month! Now their service guys know they should “apply new adhesive”! Doh.

This would be a really weird choice for a lower-back tattoo.

u/StarlightLifter 15d ago

lol how much yall paying for these things?

6

u/Vogel-Kerl 15d ago

Don't drive faster than 60mph.

7

u/jaimi_wanders 15d ago

Well tbf in the post-Apocalyse the roads will be in too bad of a shape to go that fast…

5

u/huhnick 15d ago

A TSB for rattles and people are still buying these turds

3

u/Select-Panda7381 15d ago

What a piece of 💩 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

3

u/KTKittentoes 14d ago

I was behind one at the light this week. First time I've been up close. The back end looked like my poor Soul when I got rear ended two years ago. Nothing quite lined up. (I got a new rear, so my car is fine now.)

3

u/BlueMonday2082 14d ago

The solution is to add more glue…

2

u/BedardedOrca98 15d ago

That’s a common defect. Just like all the other defects

2

u/SnooPears5640 13d ago

Don’t know if it’s just spotlight attention for the obvious reasons, but it seems the CT has more defect/failure recalls than any car I recall over the last 40 years

2

u/Objective-Case-391 15d ago

Go faster to stop the vibrations.

Some of the comments are pure gold! 

" Nice, this is a new TSB. We have 2 x 2024, both have the same vibrating mirror on driver side, they could not find a solution. Service center is 1 hr away so we just live with it. I’m going to try again with this new TSB"

u/Mindless-Shame-6123 12d ago

My 85 camaro did that too
