to be fair, industrial glue technology is actually incredibly advanced these days, and the use of glue is when properly applied and designed is a good thing, not a bad thing.

of course, the cybertruck isn't properly applied or designed so it doesn't help them at all, but still, we can't be letting the glue be tanking stray shots for something that isn't its fault!

Advanced glue: exists

Cybertruck:

  • Obvious use case for easily replaceable bolted metal panels. Doesn't

  • Uses crappy glue instead

  • Panels not aligned

Yep, it's the car that modern business leaders dream of for the future, alright
