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.
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
I’m sure it’s fine. It’s not like there’s an idiot who makes stupid, whimsical decisions in charge.
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
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
Hmm, at least they are not prone to rusting.
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.
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 😎
I’d’ve thought mustn’t would be broadly cherished, not reviled!
The perfect car for Ben Shapiro.
Aka all trucks sold, lol.
They have lots full of these oversized ugly behemoths.
giving elon musk another $53 billion should solve it
Nah, it’s 53 billion for each
Day one patches effect physical games too I guess
Lol
Aren’t you supposed to test that shit before going live?
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.
Coming from the man who knows more about manufacturing than anyone on the planet
Now it looks like cars have early access periods
When people pay over 100k to be crash test dummies
fail fast
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.
It’s all part of the “move fast and break things” development process.
I’m sure an OTA will fix it. /S
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.
I’m in Utah with <1/10 the population and see them fairly frequently.
Most expensive early access beta with pre-order ever. Tesla is the EA of cars.
EA is a more reputable company.
Either they hired from Boeing or Boeing hired from them
Are these things literally Little Tykes Cozy Coupes like wtf
Hey now those sons of removed 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
Great, now I have to worry about the morons buying this garbage flinging it at me.
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.
