The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration’s recall, which covers more than 46,000 Cybertrucks, warned that an exterior panel that runs along the left and right side of the windshield can detach while driving, creating a dangerous road hazard for other drivers, increasing the risk of a crash

    Knowing Tesla, they’ll just screw 2 wood screws into each panel and call it a day.

        But why send it back to the factory to do that when wood screws can be done at the dealership?

      I thought that Teslas have always had QA problems? It’s definitely much, much worse in the last couple of years, the their cars were never highly regarded for being super reliable. Hell, I remember multiple stories of people’s Teslas dying because they drove in the rain even ~5 years ago.

      “quality”? Every Tesla I’ve stepped in felt cheap. The interiors in particular feel like Smart cheap at Mercedes prices. Maybe car quality in the US is that abysmal, but for reasonable standards Tesla’s cars were always shoddily built.

        Material quality on the inside of a tesla is typical American, it’s about on par with low-mid range European cars, but so is a cadillac.

        The material quality isn’t much worse than any other American car.

        It’s fun to sit in an American made ford, and in a European made one right after, the difference is staggering.

        I guess Tesla is also Jewish for scamming customers into paying a lot for cheaply made product, right? Oh right, that’s actually offensive.

        Can we just stop comparing burdensome, annoying, useless, unwanted, and unnecessary things to disabled people already?

    This is not Tesla’s first defect or recall. But I’m curious if the current mindset shift and awareness of Musk’s personality might result in it being a larger penalty to their market confidence than before. Other times one might say “Oh, they’re smart people, just hitting a road bump” whereas now they might pull to the feeling the whole company is drowned with misogynistic idiocy.
