Tesla recalls all 3,878 Cybertrucks over faulty accelerator pedal
Tesla recalls all 3,878 Cybertrucks over faulty accelerator pedal
The “Cyberstuck” defect will be fixed at no additional cost to customers.
Wait. ALL? Only 3,900 (in round #s) suc…rrr..of those vehicles have been sold?
Elon, you’re a loser.
37I wonder how many were given away
9I still pass a place in California where they have a bunch stashed. I don't think they are selling well either.

ugh they are becoming rare quirky collectors cars in 20 years 🥲

What about the faulty CEO?
32(Nelson voice) “Ha ha!”
17Who wants to bet they apply some cheap fix and call it repaired.
15The fix is a screw to actually affix the pedal cover to the pedal (instead of just glue). So, yeah, cheap, but probably fixes the problem. (Not the next fatal problem they find though...)

Just say "all."
10The knife twists a little better when you note how few made it out of the factory.

They should recall it for a faulty design.
8I remember there was an interview somewhere where even Musk admitted the CT is hot garbage and there's people with money who will buy anything with a Tesla badge.
8Unsurprising and it won’t be the last. This is what happens when you build a meme instead of a car.
6Hmmm I wonder if all the liability from their other ongoing lawsuits had anything to do with their quick recall this time🤔
4Hahahahaha
2I mean, every car I've ever owned has had a handful of recalls. I'm no Elon stan, but this doesn't seem like news?
-20Huh. I saw this exact phrasing on a similar post on hacker News. I bet I could check Reddit and see the same...
7Are you accusing me of being a bot? Not sure what you're driving at.

The closest anyone in my family has come to owning a car that’s been recalled is when I found out that a newer variant of my own car had been recalled 5 years ago and even then it was only in Australian models, maybe we all just got cars from good manufacturers ¯_(ツ)_/¯
5I've had a Mercury, a Ford, and a Toyota. All three have had at least one recall.
The Toyota's was a pretty minor one, tbf, and I suppose that Ford/Mercury could be argued to be a crappy manufacturer. I wouldn't buy from them again anyway.
Maybe I've just had super crappy luck, but none were crappy cars on the surface. All 2-3 yrs old on purchase.
Like, out of curiosity, what car do you drive that doesn't have any recalls? I'd be curious to know what it is.

Yes, recalls happen, but no major car company except Tesl would have shipped that pedal design with an obvious flaw.
4I mean, except for maybe Toyota, one of the biggest and most respected car manufacturers currently in operation?

I feel like there's a difference between "this car has a recall notice for this part, bring it to a shop near you for a free repair" and "yo dawg your acceleration pedal is broken"
