  • Its been known since before the thing shipped that the wrong glue was used.

    There are automotive adhesives, meant for the exact use case the cybertruck needs, that Tesla chose not to use.

    Instead, they chose to use a cheaper adhesive that is well documented as not being able to be heat cycled in the way a vehicle gets, and the glue has rapidly degraded as it has been exposed to rapid and constant heating and cooling.

    Unilever just had the CEO removed for being too much of an activist, and ‘aligning with the original owner’s views too strongly’.

    Means I recently bought my last pint of this icecream, because it no longer is a company I can justify exempting from the US boycott (since, in Canada it is produced in Canadian plants, using Canadian dairy products, and was actively going against the current US leadership).



  • I will somewhat disagree with the SUV comment, as my escape counts as an SUV, and I regularly fill it far past a sedan’s capacity when I go grocery shopping (the savings from driving 3+hours each way to the nearest Costco far outstrips the cost in gas) and when I go camping.

    And, as I camp in a tent, and have kayaks I can strap to the roof, I don’t need a truck at all, because my car can get me to every campsite that a truck can get to, often easier than someone dragging a camper can.

    Plus, since its a plug-in hybrid, and Canada doesn’t burn fossil fuels for power, my fuel efficiency is significantly better than the average sedan in drives under 100km, and breaks even above that.

    On a 60km drive, I average 2L/100km, a 100km drive I average 4.6L/100km, and on a 300km drive I average 6.6L/100km (100km/h), 7.5L/100km (110km/h), or 8.8L/100km (120km/h), which is well within what sedans average.

    Actually, French vanilla is used when actual vanilla bean is used in the flavouring, if it just says vanilla its either artificial or a miniscule amount of extract.
