      Most are designed so that the wheels don’t fall off at all

    causing the wheel to fall off, increasing the likelihood of a crash.

    I agree with that assessment.

      Just tell your passengers to shift their mass to the area of the vehicle in the triangle formed by the remaining three wheels.

          You can see that the occupant in that one is clearly outside the triangle formed by the three wheels.

    Now, I’m no expert, but, that’s like the #1 thing a vehicle shouldn’t do. That and randomly exploding. I’m I wrong here? Is really Tesla 0/2 on the most basic things vehicles shouldn’t do?

      The panels shouldn’t fall off. Probably shouldn’t be glued on, but definitely shouldn’t fall off. 0/3

    After four fall-offs, the process usually comes to a halt on its own?

      Now I’m wondering if recalls were planned obsolescence to sell the next gen?

    That’s just a feature to convert it into a stationary garbage dumpster instead of a mobile one.

    Remember, never litter when there’s a cyber truck with its windows open within walking distance.

    Tesla has recalled a total of 173 Cybertruck models from the 2024-2026

    1. 2 years to sell 173 trucks.

        When this story came out last month that is what was being reported, the 173 was all of the RWD cybertrucks sold.

        However it only effects certain build dates:

        Some reports have suggested that the recall number of 173 reveals a staggeringly low number of RWD Cybertrucks made, but Tucker says this isn’t the case. The recall applies to trucks built on certain dates using a specific shipment of lug nuts and grease, and cars with 18-inch wheels produced on certain dates. He says it’s a “subset of a subset” of Cybertrucks.

      About 59,000 trucks across all models, in two years.

      Which is about how many F-150s Ford sells in a month.

    Well this sounds about as bad as the model 3 and the control arm recall.
