Cybertruck Door Failure

[Vrl1467]

Can you please prove to us that you are not a Tesla employee or an employee of a PR firm for musk?

Can you prove this by showing your bank accounts for the past 5 years and W2 statements for the past 5 years.

And can you also share your entire job history that you weren’t ever a paid actor?

You sound like a crony of Musk. Can you also prove to us that you are not a personal friend of Musk? Show us proof of your previous relationships please, including a download of your Facebook, linked in, and other social media.

And while we are waiting for this, can you also share your DNA results to ensure you are not a blood relative or child of Musk. You seem to have daddy syndrome.

Feel free to post all that here. If not, get lost. Please and thank you.

We can all play this game…unfortunately for most of us, we don’t live and die by participating in forums like this until and unless we have a compelling reason too (like say, a traumatic event where the door to your car flies open for your four month old cybertruck). But oh yeah, I don’t have dashcam, so it never happened. I must have fabricated this story to short TSLA. Right… glad we can agree.

What is all that about?

The truck can save incident video. It would see the door open. That's all they're asking for.

I'm not the one trying to be the drama queen here. You have made overly sensational claims on this forum (as your very first post or comment, mind you) and apparently refusing to back it up with clear evidence. Which is obviously very easy to do with the built in dashcam that comes standard with every Tesla.

So doubting your dubiously detailed theatric is looking pretty justified right now.

All four of my latches are rock solid and torqued tightly. Each latch also has the pink marker line across the latch and bolt. (I don’t see same in OP pics)

Given their interference design with the door latch, it sure seems unlikely that they could come loose in such a way without noticing prior - the door would certainly have trouble opening and closing smoothly.

This thread is weird…

I know.

It looks like a bolt either was not torqued properly from the factory or someone tried to adjust the door latch and didn't properly torque it when they were through.

We don't know which it was. If the former, it was a human that torqued it. If it was the latter, it was a human that torqued it. Humans make mistakes.

The weird part is that it wasn't noticed that there was something wrong with the door until one of the bolts had come so far out that the door could open on its own. The door should have exhibited signs of not latching properly long before it reportedly flew open on the highway. That opens a third possibility, that someone loosened it for nefarious purposes. We cannot exclude any of these possibilities, only assign guesstimates as to what the odds are. Even if the OP swears on the Holy Bible that the car never left his sight when it was unlocked, that no one else had access to the keycard, than no family members could have tried to "improve it", etc., we still cannot exclude it, even if it's more likely that a worker failed to do their job properly, whether on the assembly line or during a service visit.

Humans mess up. If that's what happened, it was a serious mess-up (but I still wonder why no one noticed the door wasn't functioning normally before it flew open). That's the part that gives me pause. The OP's over-reaction (saying the Cybertruck is unsafe) also gives me pause.

A cross threaded bolt can seem both stable and still fail unexpectedly.

Couple that with OP being told by tesla themselves that it was just cosmetic.

I don't see what's outlandish about that.

 

[REM]

Where is the proof of that? Supposed to take his word that a "Tesla engineer" told him: "cosmetic issue and to stop complaining".

Like, you want CCTV footage?

Door doesn’t latch well… see gaps, hear wind noise… Don’t bother checking latches…

I can’t speak for the OP, but I will only post screenshots for privacy reasons.

There are tools that will strip from a photo EXIF metadata like location, date, and time (the first or combination those being the real problem; other metadata like your camera model and settings are actually useful to anyone trying to evaluate the photo and don't endanger your privacy).

I think most social media strips location at least, but I wouldn't swear to that. Other websites (like this one) may or may not.

Stripping the location and maybe date/time preserves privacy while also preserving original quality and not adding anything extraneous from a screenshot.

From making right turn, the left door could swing open. or vice versa. Not saying what actually happened, just explaining how you could have a door swing open while driving.

If the window was at least partly open, that would change the airflow.

Indeed, given how the windows on Teslas tend to have to open a bit before the door can be opened, if the window was fully closed, I would be surprised by the door opening unless the glass broke.
