Is this how you stop rattles

If you have a cyber truck, do you need to keep a rag closed in the trunk to keep it from rattling or is this for another reason?

Maybe it was a leak, not a rattle.

People focus on the rag and not the hideous appearance of the vehicle overall.

Cybertruck would never be allowed to be sold in the EU I suspect due to pedestrian safety regulations?

I don’t think it’s nice looking, BUT I think the general idea of making a purely utilitarian vehicle that is done with folded sheet steel and is made to take a dent without fixing it or needing repaints etc is quite interesting. The execution is lacking a bit and it is way to big for the European market - but if it would give a resilient cheap EV there’s surely a market for that.

A workers van with similar solutions could be cool - or something like the VW ID Buzz.

To remove the cost of dent repair and repaints which are purely cosmetic definitely has a rationale to exist.

That being said, I’m really happy with my iX and the only thing I’m missing from the model s is the acceleration- and that’s only rarely.

I finally saw one in person recently. Not even a mother could love that thing.
