Not really, these castings are an extremely tough alloy.  

Like I said, get used to Giga Press* frames. Hyundai, Ford, Toyota, Volvo...a list is getting very long. 

When you make a unibody you are either welding or bonding together over 100 parts, then there's all the robots & other work involved. A Giga Press reduces that down to two castings and one structural battery pack. Takes about 3 minutes to make each casting for a Tesla Model Y, and they have several machines.

* Not Tesla's term, the company that builds the machine named it.

Keep on defending the indefensible, Doc... Stay classy...

Reading several reports on this incident, it sounds like he drove through some deep water. People do that a lot in Michigan too, with similar results.

Guy drives the car through water, floods the battery, and it stops working, Unlike the Cybertruck, most electric vehicles do not have the option to pressurize the battery to keep out water.

Drive many ICE cars through water and the engine hydro-locks $$$$

Or you have a car with a Lucas electrical system and it'll stop working on a cloudy day... two states away (been there).

I mean, the same could be said for everyone else

On the one hand, you have a member praising Telsa at every opportunity

On the other hand, you have everyone else complaining about Tesla at every opportunity.

Tesla Cybertruck Owner Goes To ER After Being Sliced During Delivery

Anyone who has ever excitedly awaited the delivery of a new car can relate to Tesla Cybertruck Owners Club forum member bdesign. Four years ago, he placed his initial reservation for one of the stainless-steel electric pickups. Then, earlier this year, he received an invitation to place his final order. He would finally be taking home the new truck that would replace his V8-powered Chevy Silverado Trail Boss. Little did he know that the new Tesla would later send him to the emergency room. 

////

When the delivery day finally came, it didn't go quite the way he hoped, to put it gently. The truck had several visual blemishes and build quality issues. It was clear that the service center team did not properly prep the vehicle. In a forum post just after taking delivery, he described the truck as being in "sloppy, sloppy condition at delivery."

The dent got his attention the most. He ran his finger across this damaged area to see if it was indeed a dent or perhaps some kind of residue. As he was rubbing the damaged area of the panel, he felt a sudden sharp pain and jerked his hand away. Due to the angle of his arm, he apparently slit his wrist open on the extremely sharp corner where the side panels and the tailgate meet.

Who knew there were so many people that buy into the stupid.

But then again, Americans buy into Trump NFC, "credits" (Trump Rebate Banking System), Made in China MAGA hats and Golden sneakers too 🙄

Two words:

Fiat Multipla

(the last word being unnecessary)

Ooh, low blow man, low blow.  But, we should probably get back on topic...

 

So, that Cybertruck... Piece of garbage, right? ;)  I'm continually amazed how far the usual suspects will go to support their lord and master...

    • Google's NotebookLM gets some useful features you may have been waiting for

      By Aditya Tiwari · Posted

      Google's NotebookLM gets some useful features you may have been waiting for by Aditya Tiwari It's been three years since Google introduced its AI-powered note-taking and research app, NotebookLM. Just when Apple is about to kick off WWDC 2026, the search giant has announced a platter of new NotebookLM features that add agentic capabilities in chat and more advanced reasoning. For starters, NotebookLM now draws its fuel from Gemini 3.5 and Antigravity to improve accuracy and reliability. One of the things people have been asking for a long time is more transparency into the thinking steps. NotebookLM now shows expanded thinking steps in chat, providing better visibility into the thinking process. Google compared the upgraded NotebookLM with prior versions and found that it "achieved an average win rate of over 65% — a 15% point margin above parity — across our top five core evaluation dimensions," including accuracy & quality, multilingual support, large document analysis, document creation, and advanced research. It showed substantial improvements in analyzing large documents, achieving a 69.9% win rate. The system also delivered "exceptional performance" in advanced web research and source discovery with a 78.2% win rate. The AI research tool now generates outputs in more formats. You can give instructions to guide the outputs and download the generated files from the studio panel. Here are the newly supported formats: PNG and SVG for data visualizations and charts PDFs, docx, markdown, and text files for documents PNG, JPG, and GIF for images JSON and CSV for structured data XLSX for Microsoft Excel PPTX for Microsoft PowerPoint You can make edits after the outputs are generated. The feature is available globally; therefore, you can provide directions in one language and create outputs in another. Google said that it's also making it easier to get started with a project in NotebookLM. Instead of having a list of sources beforehand, you can even start with loose ideas, and NotebookLM can help build the repository of sources through the chat. For instance, you can find primary sources in other languages to get new perspectives or explore related works of an author. All of these new features are rolling out globally for those who can loosen up their pockets. They are available to users with Google AI Ultra and all Workspace business customers with AI Ultra access. Google has plans to expand them to more users in the future.

    • Microsoft making much needed change to Windows 11, 10 Patch Tuesday security updates

      By lonegull · Posted

      "...will no longer be bundled with the monthly Windows security updates or Patch Tuesdays. Instead the company is shifting delivery of these updates to Microsoft Update...". Three names that all refer to Windows Update. Does the author even understand what he is writing about?
    • Dell, HP PCs ran into endless reboot, BitLocker recovery loops but Windows 11 isn't to blame

      By eilegz · Posted

      and somehow windows is the only one with issue every patch tuesday is a mess, android macosx have all that and it never had issues locking people out of their own data.
