The stainless steel body of Tesla's Cybertruck is reportedly leading to issues with gaps in between the panels::The Cybertruck's steel is made in "coils that resemble giant rolls of toilet paper," WSJ reported.

Well at least Elon can pretend that all the panels were within 10 microns of gap when they left the factory, and it totally warped 2 cm (20000 microns) on the way to the customers.

So wait. You're telling me that materials can expand and contract due to many conditions such as shifts in temperature? Ya don't say (that was directed at Elon, not you).

Sure, he could say that. It's still his/Tesla's fault. Shipping the product is part of the process, and they'd still be responsible for that (or should be at least. Who knows in this dystopia).

He'd probably just say that it arrived in perfect shape, the customer just fucked it up and are lying. Or something like that.

Seems like the answer here is "You're an idiot if you buy Tesla products".

Essy lesson to learn, imo.

Good old fashioned blame the customer. He's so good at it his fanbois will do it for him.
