Owners of the affected trucks will require replacement hardware.
At this point, looking at this vehicle with your naked eyes is bound to cause damage.
It harms my soul looking at this vehicle.
I saw one the other day painted neon yellow. Believe it or not, it actually seemed like an improvement.
Hard to understand the calculus of people who would still be willing to buy a Tesla at this point. They’re literal death traps with shoddy manufacturing
An actual recall that requires a hardware fix / replacement this time, and not a software update.
Am I reading the PDF right in that 1% or 2,431 trucks are affected, meaning they sold ~240k trucks?
Edit: official numbers are more around 30-40k worldwide as far as I can find. Idk how to read it, perhaps they mean 2,431 is the maximum but the expectation is 1%?
I can’t decide if that’s higher or lower than I expected.
It’s definitely higher than I was expecting, but nowhere near what Musk would want you to believe
Ford, Chevrolet, and Dodge each sold over 700k half-ton pickup trucks last year, while Toyota sold only 130k Tundras. I suppose it’s possible that there are a quarter million suckers out there.
Those are all more affordable, reliable, and established brands though.
lol
Good.
Cybertruck circa 2026.
saw two of em in person this week. they’re even uglier in person
I keep forgetting how nasty they look… I’m glad I don’t have to see these on European roads. Not yet, at least.
It’s a trip seeing them around. Somehow they look even worse in person.
I doubt they’ll ever come to Europe. They don’t meet even the most basic crash safety standards. These things are designed to annihilate pedestrians, not to try to reduce harm.
I don’t really care what they look like. If any truck actually could meet the promises these made, I’d buy the shit out of them:
-All electric
-Sophisticated sensor suite to improve operational safety
-Working performance comparable to F150
-low maintenance
-Can be used as home power backup
-not a Deathtrap
-not a Killing machine
It hits the electric points, but that’s it. It’s a bad truck. It doesn’t fulfill any of the “smart” promises. Death trap killing machines in constant recall that can’t handle rain… Let alone do work.
The aesthetic doesn’t even make my list of complaints. It’s like the whole industry has been trying to make trucks as shitty as possible for like 30 years. Give me a '94 ranger electric conversion kit and it’s game fucking over cyber truck.
How can it be a death trap when it is only found on flat beds?
They look like they have been on the streets for 10 years. Turns out stainless steel isn’t all that stainless.
I ran into a former coworker (we still work at the same place, just different groups now) at a work thing recently and he told me I had to see his new car.
It was this. I told him it was ugly. He tried to show me all the bells and whistles. I told him I was glad he liked it, but it was still ugly.
He said yeah…that’s what my wife says too. She hates it.
lol
It looks like they purposedly made it that way.
6th recall this year so far
Why don’t they just fix it and then release it rather than releasing it for 15 minutes and then recalling it again?
I wonder what the reward is if you get 10 recalls on your punchcard?
You get the thing that represents all cyber truck owners: a lollipop, or as it’s also known—a “sucker.”
