Well you see, the side fell off. Chance in a million really, some of them are built so the sides don't fall off at all. (fortune.com)

I know most people get the reference, but it's always new for someone. Here it is for anybody who hasn't seen it.

Some have even taken to reporting the problem to the federal traffic safety authority NHTSA

Oh you mean the government agency which will be destroyed by Elon Musk? That one? I’m sure they’ll help you right out.

Fuck you haters, it's perfectly normal for panels on a car to fall off in cold weather!

It’s a good thing Elon went off the deep end before he was allowed to build private jets.

Fortunately, Boeing seems to have the "the side fell off" sector of the airplane market pretty well covered.

The glue holding the pickup truck’s stainless steel exterior in place is failing for many Tesla customers, causing its sides to protrude. It’s the latest of numerous instances of build quality issues with the Cybertruck, a once-promising vehicle now beset by problems.

Without any tools, you are able to pull the black side paneling off a cyber truck with your bare hands. Start at the front wheel well and work your way backwards. The paneling is attached by blobs of glue.
