The Swastidumpster has a Mighty Frame

how tf are these things insurable, or even in compliance with federal motor vehicle safety standards?
- how tf are these things insurable
  That's the neat part, they aren't.
  or even in compliance with federal motor vehicle safety standards?
  Because American standards only focus on the safety of those inside the vehicle, they also assume that the manufacturers make the frame out of something at least a little stronger than wet tissue paper.
  
  That thread is a swasticar support group.

The prophecy has been fulfilled yet again
- Wait it's really that thin??
  
  What about the fact that the upper control arm seems to be mounted with 4 small bolts
- Holy shit.
  So the thing in the OPs pic was done by some kid that kicked the tyre?
  
  It's a picture of the upper control arm when it's probably the lower ball joint that broke (and not the whole lower control arm)
- I think my Miata and Tercel have thicker control arms, and they're both a pinch heavier than 2000 lbs.

I feel like I have seen this exact same damage multiple times already for the cyber truck. Same wheel and everything, front passenger side.
There must be some extremely faulty design with that wheel.

The black actually looks sick on this
- I was going to say. It's not my style, but that matte finish looks better than stock for sure.
  
  Doing as much as possible to obscure its general shape can only make it look better.
  
  I have also seen some "cyber" paint jobs that look decent on it. But, it sucks getting an expensive paint job on it before it falls apart. And there are much nicer looking base cars to take advantage of a cyber paint job, like pretty much any recent lamborghini or even lower priced techie looking cars.
- It makes me want to be sick on this.
  Pretty sure that’s just a SwaziTruck in general thing.

Oh, they turn that way for ez parking.

Built as strong as elmo!

Kachow.

Is it supposed to do that?

That ain't no frame issue...
In this thread, people who never took a look at the mechanical components of a car.

I would like to say that if it was 2018-ish and Elmo was just running around with "not a flamethrower", this dumpster would still be a piece of shit.

A shitty person sells a shitty product for a shitty price

wouldn't surprise me it's Trump gives Tesla a military contract to mass produce cybershites for the military.
let the military get fucked with them.

Frame not suspension?
