Cybertruck’s design flaws raise concerns among car enthusiasts
Tesla’s highly anticipated Cybertruck has left many viewers in disbelief after close-up shots revealed significant design flaws.

Close-up shots reveal unfinished details and panel gaps
Ahead of its official release in November 2023, Tesla’s chief designer, Franz von Holzhausen, brought his personal Cybertruck to a ‘Cars & Coffee’ event.
On social medi, enthusiast @dsgolson shared detailed close-up shots of the vehicle on TikTok.
The video has the caption: “Please enjoy these detail shots I took of the Cybertruck that Tesla’s chief designer brought to cars and coffee today”
While the car appeared sleek from a distance, closer inspection revealed noticeable gaps in the car’s paneling, making it seem unfinished. Some critics took to social media to express their concerns about the build quality.
Many viewers reactions to the Cybertruck’s imperfections
The video quickly went viral and sparked debate among viewers. In the comment selection, several users pointed out the significant gaps in the panels.
One person said: Remember that episode of The Simpsons where Homer’s brother let him design a car? I am reminded of that for some reason. Lol
A second wrote: How is it that Tesla can’t even get quality control right?
While a third commented: It makes the Nissan Cube look like a work of art.
Another added: When I saw this for the first time I thought some guy had welded it together in his garage.
Someone else said: If that car is not made out of gold then I don’t want to hear about it.

Despite the criticisms, some fans embraced the Cybertruck’s raw, unfinished look.
There were those who defended the Cybertruck, suggesting the imperfections could signify a handmade, luxury product.
“Hey, little imperfections mean it’s handmade. This is a luxury product,” one TikToker wrote.
