• In my head canon, some engineer was fed up with Musk’s shitty asshole nature and chose this glue, knowing that he’d be gone and working somewhere else by the time things started falling apart.

    This is so much like the perfect long-term sabotage, it gives me warm fuzzies to think it was intentional.

      I’ve heard people say that cars are like computers on wheels now, and I guess that is more true for the swastitruck than any other EV. They should have hired car designers to design it. Can’t wait for the swasticab lol.

      I like the theory I heard on here recently, and it’s because the cars were designed by Skum or some other moron that has never seen the inside of an engineering lecture as a goof. The Swastitruck was basically just The Homermobile used to get interest free loans from dumbasses who put down a deposit, and they were just going to say it wasn’t economical at some point and refund the deposits. But at some point, Leon’s tiny and shitty little ego got so wrapped up in his greatness that he lost the plot and actually made the vehicle, even though it was never designed to be a real car that had to deal with anything outside of his masturbatory fantasy.

      Imagine cybertrucks with fucking roofing screws all over the panels. Mandatory rust spots running from under them.

      Gluing panels really is the normal now, it’s just most car manufacturers use adhesives that don’t fucking degrade in a couple of months.
