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 ( apnews.com )

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.

Cool that's boring

Lol

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.

aesthelete ,

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.

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.

Etterra ,

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

Sam_Bass ,

Either they hired from Boeing or Boeing hired from them

ocassionallyaduck ,

Aka all trucks sold, lol.

They have lots full of these oversized ugly behemoths.

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.

SkyezOpen ,

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.

phoenixz ,

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

Djtecha ,

Great, now I have to worry about the morons buying this garbage flinging it at me.

ATDA ,

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.

espentan ,

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.

LordGimp ,

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.

sugar_in_your_tea ,

I'm in Utah with <1/10 the population and see them fairly frequently.

No one requested self driving cars. Goodbye.

puchaczyk ,

Say what you want about Musk, but bankrupting TWO multibillion dollar companies at the same time is impressive.

stoly ,

Don’t forget PayPal. He almost ruined it until they kicked him out.

Alexstarfire ,

PayPal has been ruined for quite a while. I'm not sure why anyone still uses it.

Sheldan ,

What is ruined about it? I use it regularly for online payments or payments between friends

nomous ,

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.

stoly ,

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.

nomous ,

Yeah, Netflix is a shadow Its former self, thanks for proving the point.

stoly ,

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.

nomous ,

It's not Netflixes fault that they promote a show until it gets an audience and then pulls the plug? It's not Netflixes fault they raise their prices?

It's like you missed the last six months where everyone was talking about enshittification but sure go off how it's "others" that made Netflix suck.

edit; additionally thanks for not disputing PayPal sucks though, that was literally my only point, have a nice day.

stoly ,

This is definitely a "YOU" thing going on here, whatever it is.

nomous ,

Enjoy simping for PayPal or whatever you're doing Muskrat.

stoly ,

lol and made it personal for the chef’s kiss display of insecurity

nomous ,

Your lack of personal awareness is hilarious.

Piss off now please.

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.

nomous ,

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.

Muscar ,

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

laurelraven ,

Nah, it's 53 billion for each
