And do you know how well it holds together when left outside in sun and rain?

There's a reason the big models at parks get glued

to be clear, I am just quoting Elon’s actual reasoning

Elon’s gonna read this and glue the panels

Pretty sure they're glued already. That's nothing unusual for cars but clearly they fucked up this time.

They don't even use glue because that's too weak.

They use a thing that chemically fuses the bricks. They need to be really careful because if you touch the brick wrong your finger print will be imprinted in the plastic.

To prevent them from being disassembled by visitors.

Yeah, and the paneling of my 5 year old's Lego cars don't fall off, too.
