Tesla is recalling its Cybertruck for the fourth time to fix problems with trim pieces that can come loose and front windshield wipers that can fail | The new recalls each affect over 11,000 trucks

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.

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

Either they hired from Boeing or Boeing hired from them

Oh hey look the Failtruck is failing - who could have expected that?

lipilee ,

The real story is they have 11k of this piece of crap on the roads

arefx ,

Actually half of them are sitting unsold in lots. They've sold like 5k

cestvrai ,

Hmm, at least they are not prone to rusting.

Holzkohlen ,

Maybe it's just like a shit car? I'm no carologist tho

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

FloatingAlong ,

I'm sure it's fine. It's not like there's an idiot who makes stupid, whimsical decisions in charge.
