The company says in the documents that the front windshield wiper motor controller can stop working because it’s getting too much electrical current. A wiper that fails can cut visibility, increasing the risk of a crash. The Austin, Texas, company says it knows of no crashes or injuries caused by the problem.
In the other recall, a trim piece along the truck bed can come loose and fly off, creating a hazard for other motorists.
Tesla says in documents that the trim piece is installed with adhesive, and that may not have been done properly at the factory.
giving elon musk another $53 billion should solve it
Nah, it’s 53 billion for each
The Tron-inspired Cybertruck failed in a catastrophic accident because apparently the super powered x-treem window wipers were turbo maxed to the power of RAD.
Most expensive early access beta with pre-order ever. Tesla is the EA of cars.
EA is a more reputable company.
front windshield wipers that can fail
Seems irrelevant if the truck can’t even get wet
The problem isn’t that it can’t get wet. The problem is that it mustn’t get wet.
Very true. Now I’m angry at myself for missing an opportunity to use one of the worst contractions in the English language.
I’d’ve thought mustn’t would be broadly cherished, not reviled!
Reading it now… It truly is horrible. I’dn’t’ve is still #1 though
It’s fine, just keep it in Car Wash mode all the time 😎
The perfect car for Ben Shapiro.
Cool that’s boring
Lol
Say what you want about Musk, but bankrupting TWO multibillion dollar companies at the same time is impressive.
Don’t forget PayPal. He almost ruined it until they kicked him out.
That isn’t at the same time though… You kinda missed the whole thing with that.
PayPal has been ruined for quite a while. I’m not sure why anyone still uses it.
What is ruined about it? I use it regularly for online payments or payments between friends
It’s inferior in every way. PayPal has been known to freeze accounts and drag their feet on unfreezing them. With Venmo and CashApp and all the various cryptos sending money to people has never been easier.
Venmo and CashApp
Why would you use either of these when Zelle exists and is built into your bank’s app?
Third-party money transfer apps are very rare in a lot of non-US countries, because people just transfer money using their bank account. They’re only popular in the USA because US banks were so far behind in terms of technology compared to the rest of the developed world.
Yeah Zelle works too, I wasn’t endorsing any specific app as much as saying that PayPal isn’t the best method for sending money to friends.
This is the Netflix argument again. Netflix was first to market and then other people reacted and innovated. Now everyone thinks that Netflix sucks. No different than Paypal.
Yeah, Netflix is a shadow Its former self, thanks for proving the point.
And is that Netflix’s fault? It’s not–it’s the fault of the others. You know this but went for a gotcha anyway. It’s like winning is more important than persuading. Too bad.
comrade musk
I’m still not sure why anyone thinks it looks cool… -It looks like a truck designed using a Vecktrex. (Ok, admittedly, now that does make it sound slightly cooler to me…)
I’ve seen a few around, and I always think “It’s the N64 truck!”
The only angle I think looks cool is the one on the pic.
It looks cheap, even from that angle. Maybe especially from that angle because it highlights all the out of place looking plastic parts.
Elon downloaded blender and spend 3 minutes on a cube. Then forced the poor engineers to make his car “design”.
Oh no, anyway…
Maybe it’s just like a shit car? I’m no carologist tho
I’m sure it’s fine. It’s not like there’s an idiot who makes stupid, whimsical decisions in charge.
I saw one broken down on the side of the road because it tried to tow a trailer that weighed 900 pounds.
Not like these people had any warning that they might be buying a shitty product designed and sold by a pathological liar /s:
And the glass is virtually indestructible instantly smashes
Oh hey look the Failtruck is failing - who could have expected that?
Aka all trucks sold, lol.
They have lots full of these oversized ugly behemoths.
Either they hired from Boeing or Boeing hired from them
The real story is they have 11k of this piece of crap on the roads
Actually half of them are sitting unsold in lots. They’ve sold like 5k
Are these things literally Little Tykes Cozy Coupes like wtf
Hey now those sons of bitches could be durable. I saw one get hit by a f150 once and the f150 had more damage. Dont fuck with the cozy coupes.
Yeah because Elon doesn’t understand the concept of a crumple zone. God forbid a cybertruck hits anything solid faster than 35mph, the people inside would get splattered.
A 35 mph crash would make the inside of that cyber truck do https://youtu.be/waG8YYTwpAQ?si=ncyl2l4IiP7GDLuk
Even a simple 10 mph “crash” without crumple zone would be painful to say the least
