    You know, if it weren’t for a deregulated auto industry they would have never left the plant anyways. Just trusting that these corporations are going to do the right thing—not the cheapest thing—is putting our lives on the line.

  2. Holy shit, the Cybertruck is such a catastrophic failure that it borders on parody. It’s such a joy to watch. Fuck Elon.

  3. The best course of action is just raise Elon Musks salary. He will save the company…. /S

  4. This kind of charge was done with the 5 series Audi cars back in the late 80s. The “brake pedal” made the car accelerate, in that case. It was pretty devastating to their brand perception…

    Finally a real recall, not the software recalls that were just an over the air update.

    If you wanna know why layoffs happened and why Musk is desperate to get that benefits package, here’s why (among other things).

    Dude is so out of his depth, doesn’t comprehend on how manufacturing actually works and treats reality as if he’s a goblin in Warhammer 40k. If he thinks it’ll work then by magic it should. He is speedrunning nuking a public image.

    Specifically, the accelerator has a fascia that is held on by a couple of woefully inadequate clips. If too much pressure is applied, the fascia can slip up and cause the accelerator to become lodged in the floorboard. It’s just a really bad design.

  9. Make sure Elon gets that $55 billion though. Otherwise someone who knows what they are doing might want the job.

    If you can’t even get the gas pedal right bro, what hope does this thing have

  11. “Tesla is recalling all 3,878 Cybertrucks that it has shipped to date”

    Less than 4000 of these have shipped?! I want to know what the preorder numbers were.
