In latest blow to Tesla, regulators recall nearly all Cybertrucks
apnews.com/article/cybertruck-

"The recall of 46,096 #Cybertrucks covers all 2024 and 2025 model years... The #NHTSA order says that #Tesla became aware of the problem early this year...

The #Cybertruck, which Tesla began delivering to buyers in late 2023, has been recalled eight times in the past 15 months for safety problems"

Who needs a #TeslaTakedown when they are built so shoddily! They practically takedown themselves!

In latest blow to Tesla, regulators recall nearly all #Cybertrucks

"U.S. safety regulators on Thursday recalled virtually all Cybertrucks on the road, the eighth recall of the Tesla-made vehicles since deliveries to customers began just over a year ago.

"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.

"The stainless steel strip, called a cant rail assembly, between the windshield and the roof on both sides, is bound to the truck’s assembly with a structural adhesive, the NHTSA report said. The remedy uses an adhesive that’s not been found to be vulnerable to 'environmental embrittlement,' the NHTSA said, and includes additional reinforcements.

"Tesla will replace the panel free of charge. Owner notification letters are expected to be mailed May 19, 2025.

"The recall of 46,096 Cybertrucks covers all 2024 and 2025 model years, manufactured from November 13, 2023, to February 27, 2025. The NHTSA order says that Tesla became aware of the problem early this year."

I find it funny that #elonmusk is claiming we will be on Mars by 2029 when he can't even make a truck correctly.

Almost ALL #Cybertrucks got recalled today as steel panels are dangerously FALLING OFF them.

Also it's an SUV, not a truck.

Their self-driving is deadly for ALL #tesla cars too, and it can't tell the difference between a road and a painted wall. Or see a child in fog like a mark-1 eyeball.

They should ALL be recalled.

If you have a friend, neighbor, family member, co-worker, etcetera, who drives a #CyberTruck, please politely let them know about the recall as this is a safety issue for everyone else on the road.

No, I am not celebrating this recall against Tesla, but I am concerned about people not taking the recall seriously.

'Tesla
said Thursday it is recalling nearly all Cybertrucks in the United States to fix an exterior panel that could detach while driving, the latest in a series of call-backs for the pickup truck.

The recall covers just over 46,000 vehicles built from November 2023 through Feb. 27 of this year, Tesla said in a filing with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.'

CNBCTesla recalls most Cybertrucks due to trim detaching from vehicleTesla is recalling 46,096 Cybertruck vehicles in the U.S. to fix an exterior panel that could detach while driving.

From @theverge.com 3 minutes ago elsewhere:

#Tesla recalls more than 46,000 #Cybertrucks after trim starts falling off.

This is the 8th recall for the #Cybertruck since it launched in December 2023. A similar recall was issued last summer regarding a trim fault in the truck bed that also risked coming loose and creating road hazards.

"The recall addresses risks a stainless-steel exterior trim panel can detach from the vehicle, making it a road hazard boosting the risk of a crash, #Tesla said. Tesla's service will replace the rail panel assembly with a new one that meets durability testing requirements, the automaker said." Meaning stronger glue this time around.

"According to Tesla delivery agents, Cybertruck deliveries are on hold. There’s a containment hold as many owners are reporting trims flying off the supposedly ‘bulletproof’ electric truck.

Many Tesla Cybertruck buyers are taking to forums and social media to report that their deliveries are being pushed."
