One of these drove by me the other day in a parking lot and it was just squeaking and creaking in a way you'd expect a 30 year old vehicle to sound, the thing is basically a half-finished prototype that I guess Musk just got sick of trying to make actually good because he knows that his cult chuds buying these things couldn't give a fuck if they are built properly or not.
Ok I was wondering if the one I heard creaking by me the other day was an anomaly. There are two locally and they both have squeaky suspension.
Yeah, I hadn't seen one drive by slowly in a quiet area before, so this is the first time I noticed it, but it sure sounded like the boots and/or joints were already toast on a 2-to-4 year-old truck, which is insane.
Me, I'm worried about the brake lines.
