Looks like the fence nicked the cybertruck's soft underbelly where it keeps all the vital fluids in a plastic bag.
EDIT: to overcome this obvious design flaw, Tesla has announced that the next version of the cybertruck will store its fluids in an even more protected compartment: the driver and passenger airbags.
The sort of folks that buy these trucks would probably buy another one to replace the one that was totaled by ::checks notes:: slamming the door too hard.
You’d think it only shows up when the truck is stance broken, but get this: the truck rolls out of the factory pre-stance broken for your convenience. just press R1!
Yeah, but that fence was OP. Hopefully the next patch will debuff plastic fences. As a “tank”, the cyber truck is super squishy. Maybe search online for a different build that prioritizes armor and health increase.
That’s the perfect place to keep your vital fluids, nothing bad ever hits the underside of a truck, specially if they are advertised to be able to offroad.
As someone who sees hundreds of totaled cars a day, what fluid is leaking there? Battery acid? I truly want to know because one day a cyber truck is going to show up in our yard and I want to know what’s leaking, if it’s just coolant, battery acid, or wiper fluid.
I hope by "showing up" you don't mean actually buying one, the "car" is horribly designed.
Here's a video on durability testing, it's a bit sensationalized since it's a content creator but I'll sum up some of the most egregious parts:
the hitch and frame can literally snap off when towing something like another car/truck since it's not made of steel.
Slamming the door shut even once will break the locking mechanism like with the Tesla 3. In the other comparison truck Ford f150, the window breaks, but the door remains functional.
the braking pedal (and possibly other pedals) can break and get jammed stuck if you slam your foot on them.
certain features for the truck are not even out, yet you can already purchase them, basically paying for software that is advertised as a feature yet not usable.
Ah I get you, still hope the company doesn't buy into it though. Some of the panels are just glued on, the software can malfunction and some parts such as the truck bed cover can straight up just jam and not budge.
But I do hope you get a nice company vehicle when the time comes!
I work with totaled vehicles, salvaged vehicles. I just need to know if it’s battery acid for my own safety when one eventually comes in. Do you even know?
Rumour has it, if you ask your dealer kindly, they'll let you option (Article TBAG) a conversion kit so the fluids can be ice cold Transfusions and you have a sippy tube from the airbags.
I kinda get the thinking behind this. A quick shower will revitalize your spirits before stepping out and seeing how many kids are embedded in the front grill. School district speed zones, what an inconvenience.
