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.
Lol
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
Oh hey look the Failtruck is failing - who could have expected that?
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.
Great, now I have to worry about the morons buying this garbage flinging it at me.
Day one patches effect physical games too I guess
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.
11.000 people bought one?! I figured just a few museums would’ve picked one, to display in their abstract art sections, or the “even when we knew how not to we still built shit” section.
No, 11,000 were effected by the recall. There’s way more morons with money in this country. I’m in CA and I saw 3 of them on my 10 minute drive to my favorite pizza joint.
Say what you want about Musk, but bankrupting TWO multibillion dollar companies at the same time is impressive.
comrade musk
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.
giving elon musk another $53 billion should solve it
Nah, it’s 53 billion for each
Aren’t you supposed to test that shit before going live?
What, take ideas from decades of vehicle manufacturing like a filthy pleb? Listening to lower IQ car engineers with decades of experience is just going to slow a genius like Elon down.
When people pay over 100k to be crash test dummies
I’m sure an OTA will fix it. /S
I mean most of the issues have been from the assembly process and not the fundamental design. However I would argue designing something you can’t reliably assemble is just as bad. Adhesive needs to be done right on every unit and it’s impossible to visually inspect it in this application. Clips are a pain in the ass but I’ll take them over glued on trim any day of the week.
fail fast
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…)
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 perfect car for Ben Shapiro.
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 😎
