Tesla Manufacturing Shortcut Makes Model Y Worthless From a Minor Impact

[robosmith]

And they are buying back Model Y models without any public notification to keep the secret.  VIDEO

AKA minor chassis damage is unreparable. 🤮

He shouldn't say  "a ton of extra storage" in the frunk. No consumer auto can hold a ton over the front wheels.

And you obviously didn't watch the video I posted, CLOWN.

That's it? That's all you could conjure up, a common expression. Lol, double Lol and triple Lol.

Well, the lie here is that everyone else is doing something different. They are not. In 2020ish, a lot of manufacturers went to unibody designs. One part frame. One exterior cover, usually plastic. One bump and you need a new car. This is not a Tesla problem. 

This is caused by emissions standards. We had to have 28mpg trucks so we had to find some way to make it lighter, especially with all the mandated electronics. Tesla did it because they need longer battery range. Everyone else did it because we went over board on emissions standards.

Unibody (or unitized) car designs integrate the body and chassis into a single, solid structure, rather than bolting a body onto a separate frame. This design offers superior structural rigidity, lighter weight, better fuel efficiency, and improved handling compared to body-on-frame, making it the standard for most modern passenger cars and crossovers.

The case is made in the VIDEO, CLOWN and you've posted NOTHING to refute it.

Put your ton in the frunk to a funky tune, you should feel better. Lol, double Lol and Triple Lol.

You don't seem to grasp English well. What is your native language?

Unibody is old "news." AKA NOT what Tesla is doing. Did you even watch the video? LMAO

From you cite:

Unibody Construction

In unibody construction, the body and frame are considered one unit. To be clear, that structure, sometimes called a monocoque, is composed of individual pieces. For the Cadillac CT6, as one example, 13 different materials have been welded, riveted, and screwed together to create its body structure, which also uses structural adhesive in some places. That said, cutting-edge manufacturing techniques sometimes use what is called gigacasting, which significantly reduces the number of parts and complexity in unibody cars by combining many of the components into one large piece.

Tesla is doing gigacasting to create a ONE PIECE BODY and that is STILL RARE.

AKA you're LYING.

You put it in yours, if you want to destroy your Tesla. LMAO

Be prepared to see this as other makers adopt the method. You already get dinged higher premiums for EV collision policies.

On the other hand, you do not buy a car with the intent of crashing it. You DO buy a car that is safer in the event of a crash and hits one excels at that. And getting a new car instead of a repaired one is preferable to many people.

With Teslas starting in Canada from #39,000 CDN I would buy one tomorrow if I liked sedans. Been in them and they're what a modern car should be, and Musk may be an arsehole (so was Henry Ford) but he's done more for the electric car as the Big 3 and Donnie Diapersniper have done against them.

Why do you believe that is?

I think it's because the batteries can be destroyed by a flood and they are 1/3 the value of the car.

no. yhe cast in large pieces method. Faster, cheaper

Until the car is totalled by a minor collision. Why do you believe Muskrat is desperately hiding this FACT?

[herbie]

Because we're headed towards $50,000 disposable cars,

Already 20-25% of new cars are leases, not sales, people are already treating them as disposables.

You won't 'own' your car. your computer, your software, your life....
