> tonneau cover leaking, wheel bearings failing, the suspension being stuck down and causing tire rub, the aerodynamic wheel covers that were causing tire failures because they were puncturing the sidewalls

I think unless you're the kind of person who specifically spends time online looking for reasons not to buy a Cybertruck, you probably wouldn't know _any_ of that.

Savage Geese, The Autopian, The Drive, Road & Track, and Motor Trend all individually reported on some or all of these issues. The tonneau cover leaks became a meme that people reposted on places like TikTok and Instagram. It's not those terminally online, it's that in the first year of the Cybertruck's release a bunch of outlets were documenting it because it brings in readers.

So 5 bits of anecdata, and a unknown number of terminally online TikTok and Instagram addicts, some of whom don't even own one in the first place.

As someone who doesn’t own a car, every single time the cyber truck shows up 50-90% of the info is about these issues. Why would you trust individuals who already bought one more than auto reviewers?
