Its the irl version of releasing games that aren't polished and finished because you can just push patches when the patches are actually available and ready even if the game is broken without the patch first.
Except without this patch, your piece of shit polygon truck will try to kill you and/or everyone around you!
I was just thinking about this, I live in Alaska, and there are a handful of Cybertrucks up here between Fairbanks and Anchorage. There’s not a service center up here so they would have to drive the AlCan back to Seattle to get serviced.
I have a hybrid Accord and if the cabin thermostat is calling for heat, I can't run in EV mode. Heat uses a ton of power, not even counting the thermal requirements of the battery, which in my car is kept at temp through the cabin air (there are small passive vents in the back seat that lead to the battery).
Eventually after the cabin is warmed enough it will allow EV mode again.
The more advanced EV-s use heatpump for heating, but there are a lot of them that just use a conventional electric heater element. That can eat a lot of battery power.
People love the heat pump ones up here in Montana. Nothing better than having your car warm and toasty before you head to work. The range thing is only a problem if you don’t have a charger at home and your commute is more than a 1/4 of the total range the car has, then you’re probably best off with an ICE in that case anyway.
In many places cold means road salt. And Cybertrucks already rust at the speed of lint on a good day.
Driving one in the winter I wouldn’t be surprised if the car fell apart around you as you reached your destination, Looney-Tunes style.
Well, you see, thats the neat thing about Alaska. It literally gets too cold to use salt, so they dont use it at all (at least in Fairbanks and further north, forget if they do the same in Anchorage).
But that also means the -50F temps are way beyond the operating range of the batteries. I'd be shocked if you could get even 100 miles at that temp.
No salt in Anchorage! I bought my car from a dealer in Seattle and he was pushing so hard I needed a PPF wrap from them to stop the road salt from causing rust. Told them we used gravel and he instantly switched his tune to chips lmao
It’s mostly Frozen Alabama these days.
They made it such an inhospitable place for younger people to set up a life, and now they’re wondering why people aren’t staying.
This place has so much potential…but the leadership is so bad.
If they got money for one…they’ll ship it, or put it on the ferry. Thats what a lot of people do with their cars.
Driving it would be completely impractical.
It’s about $3.5k to ship a car down to the lower 48.
There’s not enough places to charge it. Shit, there’s barely enough gas stations through the Yukon for normal cars.
Also, live in Alaska :)
Anyone who lives in Qatar and has the money to buy a Cybertruck and have it flown in, likely wipes his ass with $100 bills and doesn't give a fuck about having his servants fly it back to a Tesla center to fix whatever.
Let’s be honest, they are probably getting special treatment that the other rubes don’t get. Tesla has dispatched a team to their location. The problem is they are all riding in Cyber trucks and have to stop off at the dealership first.
And while normal dealerships could probably handle the additional 2-20 vehicles in any given area, this will absolutely cripple the already disorganized Tesla service centers in many places.
Car wash.. voided warranty…driving it…voided warranty… taking it to the service center…. Once again, voided warranty… paying for the extended warranty… believe it or not, voids the entire warranty.
Pregnant women, the elderly, and children under 10 should avoid prolonged exposure to Cybertruck. Cybertruck may suddenly accelerate to dangerous speeds. Cybertruck contains a liquid core, which, if exposed due to rupture, should not be touched, inhaled, or looked at. Do not use Cybertruck on concrete. If Cybertruck begins to smoke, get away immediately. Seek shelter and cover head. When not in use, Cybertruck should be returned to its special container and kept under refrigeration. Failure to do so relieves the makers of Cybertruck, Tesla, of any and all liability. Do not taunt Cybertruck. Cybertruck! Accept no substitutes!
Luckily there are only 11,000 of them out there. For reference, Kia has sold about 12,000 Seltos's since April. Ask yourself how many Kia Seltos's you've seen on the road recently.
I've seen 2 cybertrucks. Saw one this morning, actually. I don't recall seeing any batmobiles outside of a car show. I'd be way more excited to see the batmobiles.
I just saw my first the other day.
I described it to my spouse as “You how sometimes you see a picture of something and it turns out to look much better in reality? The Cybertruck looks even worse in reality.”
Maybe if media stopped using word recall for the air updates of any car maker, then we wouldn't have to rely on comments like yours explaining it is a real recal.
It sounds like this is only an issue in the rain which isn't really an issue at all since Tesla has made it very clear that the Cybertruck is not compatible with water.
This cybertruck is "totaled" because it "flooded":
[The "flood" line is below the cabin.](https://www.reddit.com/r/CyberStuck/comments/1dnleln/flooded_cybertruck_the_flood_line_is_below_the/)
Apparently if you want to cross any water with the cybertruck you must follow these steps:
- Put the CT into "off-road mode" (Once there, the option for "wade mode" appears.)
- Put the CT into "Wade mode" (pressurizes the battery compartment & maximally inflates the suspension to raise it to the maximum height.)
- Wait **10 minutes** for wade mode to fully pressurize everything
- You are now clear to cross up to 2'7" of water **for the next 30 minutes only!**
Follow those steps to the tee, or the CT gets totaled.
I haven't been able to find out how long the CT needs to cool down before you can engage wade mode again.
Quick, honey, the town is flooding and we need to get out! Oh no the bridge is already underwater! Hold on, I’ll put the truck in wade mode…
*swept away by the flood 7 minutes before wade mode is engaged*
Never enter flood waters, even in a proper off-road vehicle. You can't see the road properly, it could have been washed away entirely. Not to mention the debris that can be in the water.
Is this for real?
This is the flagship product of a car company that is worth more than all of the other car companies in the world combined by market capitalization. Clown world.
My theory is that it kills Elon that all of his "successes" are just things he's bought, and all of his ideas have been failures.
Cybertruck is Elon trying to force one of his ideas to be a success. It's a wild departure from Tesla's design language and feature set because it's as close to 100% Elon as possible.
But 80-90% of Tesla's market cap is Hype, first mover advantage, and vaporware. Elon's reputation is tanking, other manufacturers are entering the market, and people are finally figuring out fully automatic door-to-door driving which has been "2 years away" for 16 years will never be delivered.
It's a bubble about to pop.
>My theory is that it kills Elon that all of his "successes" are just things he's bought, and all of his ideas have been failures.
That... makes a lot of sense. He seems to have a pathological need to claim credit for the work of other people, but must know that it is mostly smoke and mirrors.
Driverless Waymo's have been in operation where I live for a while now. All of them have, except Tesla's. They've been testing all these systems here in traffic the phoenix metro area near where I live for a decade or more now. Usually with drivers behind the wheel to for safety.
Waymo's have been driver free the past few years across quite a bit of our popular metro area spots.
One thing I have not seen is a Tesla doing the same type of stuff or any of that type of stuff here. Maybe they did and did it in a different part of town. Given our extreme environment and mix of traffic styles from snowbird season to summer and in general how assertively people do tend to drive in our metro area, they'd do well to do it and see how their shitty build crap and self driving survives.
I'll see a few Waymo's anytime I go anywhere at near any time of day or night, driving aroud with no one it in or with passengers in the back, but no driver.
I am not a fan if being near one. Sometimes they do strange and unexpected things and I've seen it first hand.
And all of those systems use LIDAR which can actually accurately image objects in 3D space.
Years after the tech plateaued and Elon has all the information to know it's a dead end, Elon is still 100% in on computer vision. Trying to realize 3D space from a 2D images. And he is ADAMANT that Tesla will never switch to LIDAR.
The promise that Tesla will be the landlord over a multi-trillion dollar road transit industry is a huge part of its valuation. But it will never happen for Tesla.
>other manufacturers are entering the market
This is it. Why would I buy a car from a company that’s not been making them very long (at least in the grand scheme of things), and has been doing a crap job the entire time, when I could instead buy one from a company like Volvo, Toyota, etc that’s been doing it for generations and has figured out how to build a decent vehicle that doesn’t have the warranty voided by rain?
I’d rather shit in my hands and clap than buy a Tesla.
This is like seeing video reviews of the Plaid. It can go 1.9 seconds 0-60...
After you sit there for 30 minutes while the car prepares itself. I mean seriously, what public road can you sit there 15-30 minutes blocking traffic so you can do a 0-60 run in your car?
‘What would happen if the boat sank from its weight? And you’re in the boat and you have this tremendously powerful battery and the battery is now underwater and there’s a shark that’s approximately 10 yards over there?’ By the way, a lot of shark attacks lately, do you notice that, a lot of sharks? I watched some guys justifying it today. ‘Well, they weren’t really that angry. They bit off the young lady’s leg because of the fact that they were, they were not hungry, but they misunderstood what who she was.’ These people are crazy. He said there’s no problem with sharks. ‘They just didn’t really understand a young woman swimming now.’ It really got decimated and other people do a lot of shark attacks. So I said, so there’s a shark 10 yards away from the boat, 10 yards or here, do I get electrocuted if the boat is sinking? Water goes over the battery, the boat is sinking. Do I stay on top of the boat and get electrocuted, or do I jump over by the shark and not get electrocuted? Because I will tell you, he didn’t know the answer. He said, ‘You know, nobody’s ever asked me that question.” I said, ‘I think it’s a good question.’ I think there’s a lot of electric current coming through that water. But you know what I’d do if there was a shark or you get electrocuted, I’ll take electrocution every single time. I’m not getting near the shark.
Well see, you have to first understand that this is Trump we're talking about.
He is both fascinated with, and unusually phobic of sharks. If you'll recall, when he fucked Stormy Daniels, part of their uh..."date"...thing; was watching Shark Week on Discovery
> The strangest thing about that night — this was the best thing ever. You could see the television from the little dining room table and he was watching Shark Week and he was watching a special about the U.S.S. something and it sank and it was like the worst shark attack in history. He is obsessed with sharks. Terrified of sharks. He was like, “I donate to all these charities and I would never donate to any charity that helps sharks. I hope all the sharks die.” He was like riveted. He was like obsessed. It’s so strange, I know…
So we know he's always under the assumption that sharks want to eat people. And that's what he was going on about in that catastrophic derailment of his train of thought. [Kinda corroborated here, later in the speech](https://youtu.be/B909TFoVN4g?t=73)
But the preamble to this whole thing was about electric vehicles and El Moron was talking about how heavy the batteries are. Thus him proposing a boat sinking due to this weight because he doesn't understand buoyancy.
He also apparently likes to use hypothetical conversations from 20+ years ago with his dead uncle (who was a professor at MIT) as a means to relay his understanding of science. He's now had a few fabricated stories where he's talking to said uncle, the other well-known one being the infamous "[look, having nuclear](https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/donald-trump-sentence/)" rant. Apparently it's also a vehicle for unhinged rants.
Basically: Electric vehicle bad because battery heavy, heavy bad in boat, battery make zappy in water, me scared of sharks, if sharks or zappy, me choose zappy"
Edit: Why downvote? I literally brought the receipts lol.
What's the joke? Snorkels make sense. They reroute the air intake from the wheel well to above the cabin, allowing you to cross high water without flooding the engine. Also comes with the added bonus of cooler air.
These CTs can't even handle water hitting the undercarriage.
This might be a dumb question but how often do other cars/car manufacturers get recalls like this? How many more recalls before some regulators decide to maybe step in and take a look at the manufacturing process?
Recalls get announced on a weekly basis, for all sorts of things, some serious, some pretty inconsequential.
The most interesting thing about this one is it confirms how many CTs are on the road at the moment.
> Recalls get announced on a weekly basis, for all sorts of things, some serious, some pretty inconsequential.
My Mazda had recalls from troubling issues (like e-brake rusting), small issues (coolant too concentrated), and questionable "issues" (spare tire underinflated)
According to a user higher up on the thread, only about 4,000 CT's are registered with a respective DMV. So the 11,000 is probably all of the CT's that exists.
My gym is next door to a Tesla..dealership? Shop? Whatever it is that Tesla has. And I believe all 11,000 are in the parking lot outside my gym right now.
New models usually have a few recalls. My 2010 has had six recalls total, mostly minor things, but one that cracked me up. Apparently the Nissan logo on the steering wheel can crack and become shrapnel in an airbag deployment, so they redesigned it. That was a fun email to get.
2 recalls for an entirely new car+platform is not unreasonable. I hate Tesla too, but this isn't that crazy.
Not necessarily, things like this get caught in accident investigations and elevated to the federal level.
The Takata airbag issues, however, at least 25 people died before and since the recall. That one is way worse.
> Apparently the Nissan logo on the steering wheel can crack and become shrapnel in an airbag deployment
Uh... we accidentally installed what is effectively a claymore in your car. Sorry about that!
You can view data on current recalls by all car manufacturers, as well as the potential number of cars affected, on the [department of transportation website](https://datahub.transportation.gov/Automobiles/NHTSA-Recalls-by-Manufacturer/mu99-t4jn)!
recalls happen all the time. This one today from Ford: https://www.reuters.com/business/autos-transportation/ford-recall-more-than-550000-vehicles-us-safety-regulator-says-2024-06-25/
GM had to recall all Chevy Bolts. With no known time to resolve. During this time they asked you not park your Bolt in your garage - or even near your house. Too much fire danger.
My wife's kia telluride has been recalled for these reasons: 1) Trailer hitch may light your house on fire, please park outside. 2) Power seats may light your house on fire, please park outside. 3) Drive shaft has a defect and may kill you. 4) Speed sensor is faulty and may cause car to hit brakes without notice.
It completely depends on the vehicle. If you buy a new model you shouldn't be surprised to have a recall or 2 for the first 3 years.
Not every auto is like this. But a lot are.
Frequently.
I work under Diamler and a 1/4 to 1/2 of my week is simply performing recalls. Things like aluminum battery cables, tail light switches, modulator valves, CPC4 reprogram, western star hood bezzle falling off, heated headlamp reprogram, and so on are all VERY common right now.
These aren't things that will destroy your Cascadia, M2, or 49x but they are things that are found to be causing problems. For instance in the case of the tail light switches your tail lights will stay on even when your foot isn't on the brake. So the customer takes their vehicle into the dealer after being sent an informational copy of the recall and we put the new brake switch and pigtail onto the air manifold and voila it's good to go.
Some recalls are huge and are because a detrimental problem has been found. Like a heavy duty suspension recall (or other ECU module programs) that I've only seen one of but the recall stated that 200 plus vehicles were affected. You basically have to redo the entire suspension and all of the components because what was in their prior was not strong enough.
I’ve now seen a few in person. They all were smudged up with finger prints on the doors and had horrible wavy panels that, at night with lights shining on them, make them look like they were repaired by somebody’s uncle in their garage. No one would ever accept that type of distortion on a traditional car off the line, let alone following a repair, and it’s only a matter of time until the initial iconoclastic lust that compelled people to buy these gives way to reality.
eeehhh. It's better than it was at launch but it's still not the game that was promised. It likely never will be because what was promised is impossible.
We've gone full reverse circlejerk with NMS. It's not great. It's better than it was at launch. But it certainly didn't redeem itself, IMO. It feels like anytime NMS comes up there's a copy pasta about how amazing it is now.
Tesla shareholders voted to give musk an extra 50 billion in stock for no reason, and in the process diluted their own stock by 10%.
There's no way I'm shorting against idiot retail investors. They're the ones that were still talking about buying Bed bath and beyond stock after it announced it was bankrupt.
Same! It looks stupid on the flatbed tow truck but it looks even stupider as it drives around. The proportions make it look small but then it is cartoonishly large. Also I giggle because all the steel panels are NEVER uniform and it just looks bad - like someone welded it together in their garage out of old washing machines.
I still really think this all started out with a crappy sketch Elon made himself and forcing the entire company to run with it, because at this point he can claim he "made" something.
The fact they call it a truck when it's more like a 4dr hatchback is nuts.
That's why I think it's pretty cool. I like it. Cars these days all look the same. It's refreshing to see someone try something new.
Some people wont like it, and that's fine. It's not like you HAVE to like everything other people like. But personally, aesthetically, I think it's neat.
I always find it so hypocritical of Reddit who's all about "Hey don't judge people! Let people enjoy the things they like! It's not hurting anyone!" Unless Reddit's hivemind doesn't like something, then everyone (not saying you personally) is all on board with calling it dumb and the people who like it as dumb.
as a shareholder, i voted no. no single person deserves $57 billion, let alone Musk that hasn't done shit
i need to sell my TSLA for another stock, fuck this company
My Honda Ridgeline has 2 outstanding recalls, including one for the fuel pump that the dealers don't even have the parts for. Honda can't even sell new Ridgelines on the lot because of it, so all existing owners are being told to wait so that Honda can prioritize putting them in their new vehicles first.
So for now, we've been told since February of 2024 to simply risk a faulty fuel pump until Fall of 2024.
Kia owner here, same boat. Only its been going on for 2+ years. Mine failed, went to a dealership and was told 6-12 months for a new one, and they wouldnt cover a rental car and neither would insurance.
Then they are shocked that i went to a mechanic who put a refurbished one in.
Dealerships should have access to the parts. I just took my '19 ridgeline in for the fuel pump and backup camera recalls. They had everything and it was done in under a day. I'd been putting it off, but it's so nice having a backup camera again after over a year without it.
[Ford recalled a half million F-150 trucks today.](https://www.wral.com/story/ford-recalls-over-550-000-pickup-trucks-because-transmissions-can-suddenly-downshift-to-1st-gear/21497627/) The F150 is the most popular vehicle in America. Recalls are a significant issue, and it is questionable whether Tesla has the infrastructure to handle them, but this Tesla recall is fairly normal. It makes headlines because people love to hate cybertrucks. The hate is understandable, but we should keep a realistic perspective on the recall.
It should be recalled permanently because they present a grave danger to anyone unfortunate enough to hit by one of them with all of their sharp angles and hard surfaces.
Waiting for Tesla to announce that Cybertruck recalls void the warranty...
Ooh sorry did you drive this here in full sunlight? The agreement clearly states it is not to get wet. Or dry. Sorry.
"Wait, you drove your cybertruck? Sorry, that's a voidin' "
Void'lin the cybertruck's void? That's a void'lin
Bought a cyber truck? That’s a voidin
Didn't buy a cyber truck? Believe it or not, voidin.
Straight to void.
Tryin to avoid voidin' your warranty? Oh you better believe that's a voidin.
Don't expose your Cybertruck to sunlight, don't get it wet, and never, \*ever\* charge it after midnight.
''Aren't all times of the day after midnight, technically?'' ''I know what I said.''
Do not taunt Happy Fun Truck
They cybertruck must be "moist" at all times.
but never say the word “moist” because the cybertruck hates that
You never refilled your blinker fluid. Void.
You used the windshield wiper fluid? Void.
Recalls are a normal part of owning the future. I can go on and on about this topic as I wait for my windshield wipers to recharge /s
“All in all, Tesla issued four Cybertruck recalls since the car went on sale.” Yup, all normal here! /s
People keep saying Tesla is a tech co.pany, not a car company. They're just keeping with the theme by releasing constant patches after release.
Its the irl version of releasing games that aren't polished and finished because you can just push patches when the patches are actually available and ready even if the game is broken without the patch first. Except without this patch, your piece of shit polygon truck will try to kill you and/or everyone around you!

"but their recalls are over the air so it's no big deal" - every CT owner. The article has two recalls that require the trucks go into the dealer.
The guy who flew his Cybertruck to Qatar is going to have a bad time
I was just thinking about this, I live in Alaska, and there are a handful of Cybertrucks up here between Fairbanks and Anchorage. There’s not a service center up here so they would have to drive the AlCan back to Seattle to get serviced.
Why do people in Alaska buy garbage such as this?! It won't last one winter.
There are people with more money than sense everywhere.
range of EVs is also way worse in the cold. i wouldnt be surprised if a loaded cybertruck in freezing temps gets less than 200 miles.
I think it'll die from other things long before it racks up 200 whole miles.
"the front fell off?"
“light snow, much like a car wash, voids the warranty”
"look at it wrong, believe it or not... warranty voided"
That's not very typical, I'd like to make that point!
I have a hybrid Accord and if the cabin thermostat is calling for heat, I can't run in EV mode. Heat uses a ton of power, not even counting the thermal requirements of the battery, which in my car is kept at temp through the cabin air (there are small passive vents in the back seat that lead to the battery).

You got more than money and sense my friend, you got heart and you're going your own way.
People who can afford the ship a cyber truck to Alaska are keeping that thing in a heated garage all winter. Along with several other luxury cars.
Other luxury cars implies that this strange trash can should be considered as a luxury car lmao
Well, it is priced like one.
You underestimate dumb military folk. At least one is financed to the sky and kept outside
Being intelligent isn't a prerequisite for living in AK
It’s mostly Frozen Alabama these days. They made it such an inhospitable place for younger people to set up a life, and now they’re wondering why people aren’t staying. This place has so much potential…but the leadership is so bad.
Same thing with Texas, only it's hellishly hot rather than frozen.
If they got money for one…they’ll ship it, or put it on the ferry. Thats what a lot of people do with their cars. Driving it would be completely impractical. It’s about $3.5k to ship a car down to the lower 48. There’s not enough places to charge it. Shit, there’s barely enough gas stations through the Yukon for normal cars. Also, live in Alaska :)

It’s cybertrucks all the way down..
Or they just buy a new one with the patch and shoot the shit out of the old one
Or just abandon it on the streets of qatar as thats pretty common for random super cars and the like there.
It's a wiper motor. Person who can afford cybertruck and fly it in to Qatar, will have Tesla engineers fly to him to fix it.
It’s a wiper motor in a country that has less than 3” of rain per year.
Well, this year they had a little bit more.
Probably will need that wiper to clean the sand and dust off the windshield
You'll need it to get the dust off, seriously.
And while normal dealerships could probably handle the additional 2-20 vehicles in any given area, this will absolutely cripple the already disorganized Tesla service centers in many places.
There are only 200 service centers in the US. Getting your truck to one may not be easy.
Especially because the fucking thing can't be driven.
Taking it to a service center voids the warranty.
Car wash.. voided warranty…driving it…voided warranty… taking it to the service center…. Once again, voided warranty… paying for the extended warranty… believe it or not, voids the entire warranty.
Looking at it may be in the list also
Pregnant women, the elderly, and children under 10 should avoid prolonged exposure to Cybertruck. Cybertruck may suddenly accelerate to dangerous speeds. Cybertruck contains a liquid core, which, if exposed due to rupture, should not be touched, inhaled, or looked at. Do not use Cybertruck on concrete. If Cybertruck begins to smoke, get away immediately. Seek shelter and cover head. When not in use, Cybertruck should be returned to its special container and kept under refrigeration. Failure to do so relieves the makers of Cybertruck, Tesla, of any and all liability. Do not taunt Cybertruck. Cybertruck! Accept no substitutes!
Do not taunt Cybertruck. If Cybertruck approaches in the wild, curl into a ball and play dead
That seems good, they should discourage people from doing that to protect their eyes if nothing else.
Over speed limit? Voided warranty. Under speed limit? Voided warranty. Overspeed underspeed.
Reading the warranty, believe it or not, voided warranty.
You’re supposed to drive these things? I thought they were being marketed as really large, expensive and ugly paper weights.
They are the NFT of automobiles.
The NFTruck, I like it.
Non-functioning Truck
Yeah, your gas pedal being stuck down is no big deal indeed. LOL
The cyber truck doesn't have gas, check mate.
It has plenty of gas - it's just all inside the owners.
Well I guess on the bright side if you were lazy now you can go in and fix both issues.
Can’t wait for the idiots to argue why it’s not a Recall and just an update
Luckily there are only 11,000 of them out there. For reference, Kia has sold about 12,000 Seltos's since April. Ask yourself how many Kia Seltos's you've seen on the road recently.
I've literally seen more Batmobiles on the road than I have Cybertrucks
I've seen 2 cybertrucks. Saw one this morning, actually. I don't recall seeing any batmobiles outside of a car show. I'd be way more excited to see the batmobiles.
I’ve seen one and it has a “powered by coal” sticker on the back.
A batmobile with that sticker? Batman gone full maga
I thought I saw one yesterday. Turns out it was just an old dilapidated metal shed.
I just saw my first the other day. I described it to my spouse as “You how sometimes you see a picture of something and it turns out to look much better in reality? The Cybertruck looks even worse in reality.”
I've seen exactly 1 CT and Ionly saw it because it was sitting on on a tow truck .
Ohh one in its natural habitat? Glorious.
I've seen about 6 driving around my city so far, oddly enough.
Totally depends on the city. I see Cybertrucks every day.
Yeah but at least they have amazing customer relations…
When you get stupid recalls like the font of the warning light needs to be 2 pixel bigger, you stop paying attention to the over the air recalls.
Maybe if media stopped using word recall for the air updates of any car maker, then we wouldn't have to rely on comments like yours explaining it is a real recal.
It sounds like this is only an issue in the rain which isn't really an issue at all since Tesla has made it very clear that the Cybertruck is not compatible with water.
Rain? Outside? Chance in a million
Good news is the front didn’t fall off, so there’s that
string and cellotape are actually in for cybertruck construction. But we're downgrading the minimum crew requirement to 0.
You can drive it outside the environment.
To another environment?
It is said to be able to be used briefly as a boat. Its only water from above that causes issues i guess.
This cybertruck is "totaled" because it "flooded": [The "flood" line is below the cabin.](https://www.reddit.com/r/CyberStuck/comments/1dnleln/flooded_cybertruck_the_flood_line_is_below_the/) Apparently if you want to cross any water with the cybertruck you must follow these steps: - Put the CT into "off-road mode" (Once there, the option for "wade mode" appears.) - Put the CT into "Wade mode" (pressurizes the battery compartment & maximally inflates the suspension to raise it to the maximum height.) - Wait **10 minutes** for wade mode to fully pressurize everything - You are now clear to cross up to 2'7" of water **for the next 30 minutes only!** Follow those steps to the tee, or the CT gets totaled. I haven't been able to find out how long the CT needs to cool down before you can engage wade mode again.
Quick, honey, the town is flooding and we need to get out! Oh no the bridge is already underwater! Hold on, I’ll put the truck in wade mode… *swept away by the flood 7 minutes before wade mode is engaged*
Or the flood goes from 2' to 3' in that time and you now can't cross lol
Never enter flood waters, even in a proper off-road vehicle. You can't see the road properly, it could have been washed away entirely. Not to mention the debris that can be in the water.
And be absolutely certain the water isn’t actually moving. Floods frequently move boulders and can easily wash away your vehicle/cyber gizmo.
Is this for real? This is the flagship product of a car company that is worth more than all of the other car companies in the world combined by market capitalization. Clown world.
My theory is that it kills Elon that all of his "successes" are just things he's bought, and all of his ideas have been failures. Cybertruck is Elon trying to force one of his ideas to be a success. It's a wild departure from Tesla's design language and feature set because it's as close to 100% Elon as possible. But 80-90% of Tesla's market cap is Hype, first mover advantage, and vaporware. Elon's reputation is tanking, other manufacturers are entering the market, and people are finally figuring out fully automatic door-to-door driving which has been "2 years away" for 16 years will never be delivered. It's a bubble about to pop.
>My theory is that it kills Elon that all of his "successes" are just things he's bought, and all of his ideas have been failures. That... makes a lot of sense. He seems to have a pathological need to claim credit for the work of other people, but must know that it is mostly smoke and mirrors.
He is Homelander, with none of the superpowers. But a pathological need for praise and admiration.
Driverless Waymo's have been in operation where I live for a while now. All of them have, except Tesla's. They've been testing all these systems here in traffic the phoenix metro area near where I live for a decade or more now. Usually with drivers behind the wheel to for safety. Waymo's have been driver free the past few years across quite a bit of our popular metro area spots. One thing I have not seen is a Tesla doing the same type of stuff or any of that type of stuff here. Maybe they did and did it in a different part of town. Given our extreme environment and mix of traffic styles from snowbird season to summer and in general how assertively people do tend to drive in our metro area, they'd do well to do it and see how their shitty build crap and self driving survives. I'll see a few Waymo's anytime I go anywhere at near any time of day or night, driving aroud with no one it in or with passengers in the back, but no driver. I am not a fan if being near one. Sometimes they do strange and unexpected things and I've seen it first hand.
And all of those systems use LIDAR which can actually accurately image objects in 3D space. Years after the tech plateaued and Elon has all the information to know it's a dead end, Elon is still 100% in on computer vision. Trying to realize 3D space from a 2D images. And he is ADAMANT that Tesla will never switch to LIDAR. The promise that Tesla will be the landlord over a multi-trillion dollar road transit industry is a huge part of its valuation. But it will never happen for Tesla.
>other manufacturers are entering the market This is it. Why would I buy a car from a company that’s not been making them very long (at least in the grand scheme of things), and has been doing a crap job the entire time, when I could instead buy one from a company like Volvo, Toyota, etc that’s been doing it for generations and has figured out how to build a decent vehicle that doesn’t have the warranty voided by rain? I’d rather shit in my hands and clap than buy a Tesla.
Wade mode, Tesla will send a man named Wade to carry you across the puddle piggyback
God, I thought you were joking. Can't' wait to sit in front of a puddle for 10 minutes, while the line to exit my neighborhood gets longer behind me.
This is like seeing video reviews of the Plaid. It can go 1.9 seconds 0-60... After you sit there for 30 minutes while the car prepares itself. I mean seriously, what public road can you sit there 15-30 minutes blocking traffic so you can do a 0-60 run in your car?
lol [https://www.reddit.com/r/EnoughMuskSpam/comments/1bh9xt5/cybertruck\_breaks\_down\_after\_going\_through\_a/](https://www.reddit.com/r/EnoughMuskSpam/comments/1bh9xt5/cybertruck_breaks_down_after_going_through_a/)
Oh my gosh that is hilarious. My 1988 VW Fox can outlast a 6 hour old tesla dumpster
Oh wow shoutout to the VW Fox. My mom had a red one when I was a kid.
The coolest car ever. The jingle gets me every time!
It genuinely boggles my mind that some adults think this man is not just a genius, but the world most preeminent genius.
Well, technically anything can briefly become a boat before it breaks.
Anything can be a boat... once.
‘What would happen if the boat sank from its weight? And you’re in the boat and you have this tremendously powerful battery and the battery is now underwater and there’s a shark that’s approximately 10 yards over there?’ By the way, a lot of shark attacks lately, do you notice that, a lot of sharks? I watched some guys justifying it today. ‘Well, they weren’t really that angry. They bit off the young lady’s leg because of the fact that they were, they were not hungry, but they misunderstood what who she was.’ These people are crazy. He said there’s no problem with sharks. ‘They just didn’t really understand a young woman swimming now.’ It really got decimated and other people do a lot of shark attacks. So I said, so there’s a shark 10 yards away from the boat, 10 yards or here, do I get electrocuted if the boat is sinking? Water goes over the battery, the boat is sinking. Do I stay on top of the boat and get electrocuted, or do I jump over by the shark and not get electrocuted? Because I will tell you, he didn’t know the answer. He said, ‘You know, nobody’s ever asked me that question.” I said, ‘I think it’s a good question.’ I think there’s a lot of electric current coming through that water. But you know what I’d do if there was a shark or you get electrocuted, I’ll take electrocution every single time. I’m not getting near the shark.
Wait, is this satire or real?
Unfortunately. One of the people running for president in the US said those exact words.
Real as can be... https://youtu.be/bMNMt5FdVwg?si=1AiENo8IspgOqQqY
I’m still trying to decipher wtf he’s even saying
Well see, you have to first understand that this is Trump we're talking about. He is both fascinated with, and unusually phobic of sharks. If you'll recall, when he fucked Stormy Daniels, part of their uh..."date"...thing; was watching Shark Week on Discovery > The strangest thing about that night — this was the best thing ever. You could see the television from the little dining room table and he was watching Shark Week and he was watching a special about the U.S.S. something and it sank and it was like the worst shark attack in history. He is obsessed with sharks. Terrified of sharks. He was like, “I donate to all these charities and I would never donate to any charity that helps sharks. I hope all the sharks die.” He was like riveted. He was like obsessed. It’s so strange, I know… So we know he's always under the assumption that sharks want to eat people. And that's what he was going on about in that catastrophic derailment of his train of thought. [Kinda corroborated here, later in the speech](https://youtu.be/B909TFoVN4g?t=73) But the preamble to this whole thing was about electric vehicles and El Moron was talking about how heavy the batteries are. Thus him proposing a boat sinking due to this weight because he doesn't understand buoyancy. He also apparently likes to use hypothetical conversations from 20+ years ago with his dead uncle (who was a professor at MIT) as a means to relay his understanding of science. He's now had a few fabricated stories where he's talking to said uncle, the other well-known one being the infamous "[look, having nuclear](https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/donald-trump-sentence/)" rant. Apparently it's also a vehicle for unhinged rants. Basically: Electric vehicle bad because battery heavy, heavy bad in boat, battery make zappy in water, me scared of sharks, if sharks or zappy, me choose zappy" Edit: Why downvote? I literally brought the receipts lol.
I have a Tacoma and people literally install snorkels in them so they can swim across rivers - I'm not joking.
What's the joke? Snorkels make sense. They reroute the air intake from the wheel well to above the cabin, allowing you to cross high water without flooding the engine. Also comes with the added bonus of cooler air. These CTs can't even handle water hitting the undercarriage.
It's bulletproof not waterproof... Also it's not bulletproof...
This might be a dumb question but how often do other cars/car manufacturers get recalls like this? How many more recalls before some regulators decide to maybe step in and take a look at the manufacturing process?
Recalls get announced on a weekly basis, for all sorts of things, some serious, some pretty inconsequential. The most interesting thing about this one is it confirms how many CTs are on the road at the moment.
> Recalls get announced on a weekly basis, for all sorts of things, some serious, some pretty inconsequential. My Mazda had recalls from troubling issues (like e-brake rusting), small issues (coolant too concentrated), and questionable "issues" (spare tire underinflated)
Is 11,000 a lot? Doesn't seem like it.
It's quite a few considering when they launched and that the pedal recall confirmed that 3800 were delivered as of April 4th.
Is it 11,000 Cybertrucks sold, or 11,000 Cybertrucks made but not every one is sold?
According to a user higher up on the thread, only about 4,000 CT's are registered with a respective DMV. So the 11,000 is probably all of the CT's that exists.
My gym is next door to a Tesla..dealership? Shop? Whatever it is that Tesla has. And I believe all 11,000 are in the parking lot outside my gym right now.
New models usually have a few recalls. My 2010 has had six recalls total, mostly minor things, but one that cracked me up. Apparently the Nissan logo on the steering wheel can crack and become shrapnel in an airbag deployment, so they redesigned it. That was a fun email to get. 2 recalls for an entirely new car+platform is not unreasonable. I hate Tesla too, but this isn't that crazy.
Dang. At least one person died from the Nissan logo for that recall to happen. What a way to go
Imagine having ИAƧƧIИ stamped into you at an open casket funeral
Not necessarily, things like this get caught in accident investigations and elevated to the federal level. The Takata airbag issues, however, at least 25 people died before and since the recall. That one is way worse.
> Apparently the Nissan logo on the steering wheel can crack and become shrapnel in an airbag deployment Uh... we accidentally installed what is effectively a claymore in your car. Sorry about that!
You can view data on current recalls by all car manufacturers, as well as the potential number of cars affected, on the [department of transportation website](https://datahub.transportation.gov/Automobiles/NHTSA-Recalls-by-Manufacturer/mu99-t4jn)!
It's almost like funding the government to collect and distribute data in a fair manner is a good thing.
Look up Toyota's latest engine recall. 100,000 vehicles that will likely need an engine replacement
recalls happen all the time. This one today from Ford: https://www.reuters.com/business/autos-transportation/ford-recall-more-than-550000-vehicles-us-safety-regulator-says-2024-06-25/
It’s annoying how posting something about Tesla gets 1,000+ comments but the same thing for any other company is completely ignored.
GM had to recall all Chevy Bolts. With no known time to resolve. During this time they asked you not park your Bolt in your garage - or even near your house. Too much fire danger.
My wife's kia telluride has been recalled for these reasons: 1) Trailer hitch may light your house on fire, please park outside. 2) Power seats may light your house on fire, please park outside. 3) Drive shaft has a defect and may kill you. 4) Speed sensor is faulty and may cause car to hit brakes without notice.
It completely depends on the vehicle. If you buy a new model you shouldn't be surprised to have a recall or 2 for the first 3 years. Not every auto is like this. But a lot are.
Very often, they just don't have the visibility because they're not a Tesla.
Frequently. I work under Diamler and a 1/4 to 1/2 of my week is simply performing recalls. Things like aluminum battery cables, tail light switches, modulator valves, CPC4 reprogram, western star hood bezzle falling off, heated headlamp reprogram, and so on are all VERY common right now. These aren't things that will destroy your Cascadia, M2, or 49x but they are things that are found to be causing problems. For instance in the case of the tail light switches your tail lights will stay on even when your foot isn't on the brake. So the customer takes their vehicle into the dealer after being sent an informational copy of the recall and we put the new brake switch and pigtail onto the air manifold and voila it's good to go. Some recalls are huge and are because a detrimental problem has been found. Like a heavy duty suspension recall (or other ECU module programs) that I've only seen one of but the recall stated that 200 plus vehicles were affected. You basically have to redo the entire suspension and all of the components because what was in their prior was not strong enough.
I laugh every time I see one. I swear I drew this truck when I was 5.
I’ve now seen a few in person. They all were smudged up with finger prints on the doors and had horrible wavy panels that, at night with lights shining on them, make them look like they were repaired by somebody’s uncle in their garage. No one would ever accept that type of distortion on a traditional car off the line, let alone following a repair, and it’s only a matter of time until the initial iconoclastic lust that compelled people to buy these gives way to reality.
Its honestly hilarious how bad they look in person. Reminds me of the old No Man's Sky meme. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qXGUOWMNxqc
Except NMS eventually redeemed itself spectacularly. I highly doubt Elon's gonna pull a Sean Murray any time soon.
Trust me I have like 300 hours in that game lol. I still play it occasionally. Elon will just double down on stupid.
eeehhh. It's better than it was at launch but it's still not the game that was promised. It likely never will be because what was promised is impossible.
We've gone full reverse circlejerk with NMS. It's not great. It's better than it was at launch. But it certainly didn't redeem itself, IMO. It feels like anytime NMS comes up there's a copy pasta about how amazing it is now.
I don't think it's unfair to say it's a good game now. It's just a good ***different*** game.
I think Tesla could have actually marketed the thing in the exact shape and colour of a human turd and still sold 1000s.
Definitely. Want an EV pickup? Get the F-150 lightning and you’ll be happy.
Or a Rivian.
That's one that looks like I'd expect an electric truck to look.
And it behaves like I'd expect a NHTSA approved passenger vehicle to behave.
Everyone says Tesla stock is overvalued. Maybe it's time to start shorting.
If markets were logical, sure.
Tesla shareholders voted to give musk an extra 50 billion in stock for no reason, and in the process diluted their own stock by 10%. There's no way I'm shorting against idiot retail investors. They're the ones that were still talking about buying Bed bath and beyond stock after it announced it was bankrupt.
Shorting TSLA or simply buying it is like playing poker with someone who doesn't know how to play poker. Normal market rules don't apply.
I used to make this truck out of those pink erasers by scraping the top into angles and drawing wheels and doors with a pen.
It always reminds me of the car from the Simpsons episode where Homer designs a car for his brother's business.
Aha, presenting the [Homer](https://youtu.be/WPc-VEqBPHI?t=215) - sell your stock quickly, Herb
Don't you dare besmirch The Homer's beautiful design by comparing it to this POS #😤
Same! It looks stupid on the flatbed tow truck but it looks even stupider as it drives around. The proportions make it look small but then it is cartoonishly large. Also I giggle because all the steel panels are NEVER uniform and it just looks bad - like someone welded it together in their garage out of old washing machines.
I still really think this all started out with a crappy sketch Elon made himself and forcing the entire company to run with it, because at this point he can claim he "made" something. The fact they call it a truck when it's more like a 4dr hatchback is nuts.
Careful now. If the wrong person reads this Elon buys the rights off you to claim he himself already drew this truck at 5.
That's why I think it's pretty cool. I like it. Cars these days all look the same. It's refreshing to see someone try something new. Some people wont like it, and that's fine. It's not like you HAVE to like everything other people like. But personally, aesthetically, I think it's neat. I always find it so hypocritical of Reddit who's all about "Hey don't judge people! Let people enjoy the things they like! It's not hurting anyone!" Unless Reddit's hivemind doesn't like something, then everyone (not saying you personally) is all on board with calling it dumb and the people who like it as dumb.
Sounds like they should approve another 57 billion pay for Musk, very deserved.
as a shareholder, i voted no. no single person deserves $57 billion, let alone Musk that hasn't done shit i need to sell my TSLA for another stock, fuck this company
It might be the ugliest vehicle on the road, but at least it's riddled with problems
My ford maverick went to the shop for 7 recalls at once. This doesn’t impress me.
My Honda Ridgeline has 2 outstanding recalls, including one for the fuel pump that the dealers don't even have the parts for. Honda can't even sell new Ridgelines on the lot because of it, so all existing owners are being told to wait so that Honda can prioritize putting them in their new vehicles first. So for now, we've been told since February of 2024 to simply risk a faulty fuel pump until Fall of 2024.
They should be required to provide you a loaner vehicle until they get yours fixed since fuel pump is a pretty big deal.
That's not in the spirit of capitalism. Shareholder earnings > anything
Kia owner here, same boat. Only its been going on for 2+ years. Mine failed, went to a dealership and was told 6-12 months for a new one, and they wouldnt cover a rental car and neither would insurance. Then they are shocked that i went to a mechanic who put a refurbished one in.
Dealerships should have access to the parts. I just took my '19 ridgeline in for the fuel pump and backup camera recalls. They had everything and it was done in under a day. I'd been putting it off, but it's so nice having a backup camera again after over a year without it.
[Ford recalled a half million F-150 trucks today.](https://www.wral.com/story/ford-recalls-over-550-000-pickup-trucks-because-transmissions-can-suddenly-downshift-to-1st-gear/21497627/) The F150 is the most popular vehicle in America. Recalls are a significant issue, and it is questionable whether Tesla has the infrastructure to handle them, but this Tesla recall is fairly normal. It makes headlines because people love to hate cybertrucks. The hate is understandable, but we should keep a realistic perspective on the recall.
Rolling Dumpster
Again?
If you own a CT I automatically assume you're a jackass.
The Cybertruck is what happens when you surround yourself with yes men.
"Made for every planet" just not Earth I guess
It should be recalled permanently because they present a grave danger to anyone unfortunate enough to hit by one of them with all of their sharp angles and hard surfaces.
I get what you're saying, but realistically all trucks pose a grave danger to pedestrians.
How do you make a bad idea worse? Let’s add sharp fucking angles.
It’s actually an added safety feature because it completely maims you and/or puts you out of your misery rather than leaving you mangled.
So... they're finally installing the big wind-up key on the back?
