Reason enough to not buy American? Panel kept down with a zip tie...

Speaking as an American, we're not buying these either

Edit to add: wow that finish looks like shit with just a small amount of road grime on it
- You're literally the only ones buying them. They aren't even legal in developed countries
- Grime and those huge fucking gaps in the panel
I think I remember a quote from Elon, something like: „There in no one correctly on earth who knows more about manufacturing than me“
- I’m the best at it, many people are saying it. Top people, smart people, high IQ people.
  
  Wow he and Trump really are two cheeks of the same arse: one old and senile and the other drug addled and insane.
I just saw a thing where BYD is offering a basic EV for 10k USD in China.
- Got a BYD Dolphin in UK, it’s been perfect so far after a year. They are bringing a super cheap one here too, I hope it does well and keeps taking funds out of Elons pocket.
  
  I hope it does well and helps us quit burning so much carbon. But ya fuck musk too!
Look how badly the fitment is at that corner near the window and hood. That's waaay off.
- Every time I see a Cybertruck, I start getting intrusive thoughts about sharp things under fingernails.
Snip! snap! snip! snap!
At is best that panel is held on with some glue. The zip tie is an upgrade.
I can't work out what I'm looking at here. Badly made greenhouse? Some sort of giant grill/cooker?
- I'm guessing one of Elon's comedy fall apart cars.
- Well, there's a windshield wiper, it needs a zip tie to keep its shoddy panel secured, and unlike other vehicles it's made of steel that can't get wet. That's how you know it's a Swasticar.
  
  Ah, I see it now! I didn't recognise that thing as a windscreen wiper.
  
  To be fair, "badly made greenhouse" and "some sort of cooker" are still kind of correct :D
  
  @Empricorn @fakeman_pretendname just missing a slice of cheese
- Trim piece that is held on by glue, if it fails - panel falls off. Which is suboptimal, as it's a long steel piece
