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.

Either they hired from Boeing or Boeing hired from them

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.

I bet Simone Giertz's Truckla had working windshield wipers...

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...)

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.

I've seen a few around, and I always think "It's the N64 truck!"

Elon downloaded blender and spend 3 minutes on a cube. Then forced the poor engineers to make his car "design".

Etterra ,

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