Every Tesla Cybertruck Recall That's Happened Since the Vehicle Was Released
Every Tesla Cybertruck Recall That's Happened Since the Vehicle Was Released
Tesla's truck now has seven recalls in 2024.
You're viewing a single thread.
Tesla sits at the top of the list when it comes to total vehicles recalled in 2024, with 5.1 million cars compared with 4.3 million for No. 2 Ford. The futuristic-looking Cybertruck is one of Tesla's most expensive vehicles, with prices ranging from around $80,000 to $102,000, depending on trim. The price can go up more as well, based on add-ons such as the Full Self-Driving mode, which tacks on $8,000 (and which isn't fully autonomous, in spite of its name).
Though Tesla hasn't announced any official sales numbers, Forbes estimates that 28,250 Cybertrucks have been sold as of October 2024. Tesla didn't respond to a request for comment.
...recall issued for the Tesla Cybertruck... according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration's website:
- Incorrect font size on warning lights
- Unintended acceleration from trapped pedal
- Front windshield wiper can fail
- Improperly adhered trunk bed trim can detach
- Rearview camera image may not display
- Inverter fault may cause loss of drive power
- Tire pressure warning-light issue
All problems affecting 100k+ vehicles got fixed over the air. Looks like no recall-worthy mechanical issues are affecting every Cybertruck. NHTSA is a joke, the sharp corners alone are why it should never have left the factory.
Interesting how trapped pedals got fixed over the air. That's some very advanced robotics if the truck can reach into itself and physically reattach and better-fasten accelerator pedals!
Or, you know, you're reciting Apartheid Manchild's marketing without even pausing to think.
No, this required physical repair or replacement and only affected some 4000 vehicles. What I was saying with the above comment was that less than 30k vehicles needed a trip to a dealership, the most common defects (that plagued every Cybertruck and more models) were fixed in software.
Those reasons are a rollercoaster ride
True!
What is going on with their manufacturing and quality control department?
Well, more robots are being added; I am not sure if the robots would fix any future recall issues, though.
One of the things that Tesla has had difficulty with over the years is the build quality of their vehicles. Whether it be panel gaps or odd creaks and sounds, Tesla's build quality has a stain on it. Even my Model 3 RWD - after about 5,500 miles, has some odd creaks and noises coming from the passenger door while driving.
Tesla has made great strides in reducing panel gaps and other quality issues, but they are still not where they need to be. Tesla is going to install robots to help with this. Also, fascia refers to a vehicle dashboard, so this likely deals with interior quality control.
This quality control will apply to the following Tesla products:
- Model 3
- Model Y
- Model S
- Model X
- Cybertruck
- Tesla Bot (Optimus Sub-Prime)^[[1] https://www.torquenews.com/14335/tesla-takes-quality-control-next-level-fremont-what-they-are-doing]
#2 is the only bad one. #3 is worse than it sounds, will put you on the side of the road, or, an idiot will keep trying to drive blind.
I expected a mile long list.
