It's technically the Cybertruck's second recall, but it is the most serious to date, and it caps a tumultuous week for Tesla.

Sweet. Car will blast off to the moon!

I find it really funny how many people simped for the Cybertruck and called everyone who thought it was going to be crap a hater. Something Tesla still hasn't learned after all this time is that building a vehicle is hard, which is why many car companies have been around for around 100 years.

On the bright side, there are only 3,878 Cybertrucks to recall.

And each one is owned by someone who is just the worst.

Maybe they should've named it the Deplorean.

Although a truck, it looks more like a mutant DeLorean than an El Camino. But it's more likely to have incels inside than deplorable Trumpers, Venn diagram notwithstanding.

The main difference being that the DeLorean was styled by a famous Italian designer, and the Cybertruck was styled by someone who probably only knows what Italy is because it was printed on the lid of a pizza box.

To be honest, I would image that Musk and a lot of 'libertarian free thinkers' think SPQR is some deep, ethereal eiphany that "you probably wouldn't understand" and have some wanky obsession with the Romans.

Yeah.


For real though, the designer also did this...

I'd rather have a crispy Furai than a CyberTruck.

Yeah, but in fairness to Franz, he obviously is a capable designer, but he also obviously had a terrible brief from an absolute bell end of a CEO.
