Summary
Tesla is recalling over 46,000 Cybertrucks in the U.S. due to a defect causing exterior trim panels to detach while driving, posing a crash risk.
The recall affects nearly all Cybertrucks produced from November 2023 to February 2024. Tesla will replace the faulty rail panel assembly.
While no injuries have been reported, the company has received 151 warranty claims.
The recall adds to Tesla’s challenges amid falling stock prices and backlash over CEO Elon Musk’s political involvement. Tesla shares fell 1.4% after the news.
Isn’t this the second time they’ve had to recall nearly every single cybertruck (which couldn’t be fixed with an over-the-air update)? The first was for an issue with the accelerator pedal getting stuck, from what I remember. Is it just tesla/musk fanatics buying these up? I can’t imagine anyone else finding this vehicle appealing, from the terrible aesthetics to the severe design issues and all for a high price. I assume tesla fanatics are the only reason the stock price hasn’t cratered either, but maybe reality will catch up someday.
Swaticars at least have some semblance of benefit of the doubt if they were bought before the election (really Musk has been showing his true colors for like 3-5 years but I digress)
Swastitrucks are straight up only being bought by Nazis and Nazi accessories
