Wait. ALL? Only 3,900 (in round #s) suc…rrr…of those vehicles have been sold?
Elon, you’re a loser.
I wonder how many were given away
I still pass a place in California where they have a bunch stashed. I don’t think they are selling well either.
ugh they are becoming rare quirky collectors cars in 20 years 🥲

What about the faulty CEO?
(Nelson voice) “Ha ha!”
Who wants to bet they apply some cheap fix and call it repaired.
The fix is a screw to actually affix the pedal cover to the pedal (instead of just glue). So, yeah, cheap, but probably fixes the problem. (Not the next fatal problem they find though…)
Just say “all.”
I remember there was an interview somewhere where even Musk admitted the CT is hot garbage and there’s people with money who will buy anything with a Tesla badge.
They should recall it for a faulty design.
Unsurprising and it won’t be the last. This is what happens when you build a meme instead of a car.
Hmmm I wonder if all the liability from their other ongoing lawsuits had anything to do with their quick recall this time🤔

What are you confused by? That they rounded?

Yeah I think it’s hilarious. What a way to get called out for a bombed product
Thats almost 10% rounded lol
Hahahahaha
I mean, every car I’ve ever owned has had a handful of recalls. I’m no Elon stan, but this doesn’t seem like news?
Huh. I saw this exact phrasing on a similar post on hacker News. I bet I could check Reddit and see the same…
Are you accusing me of being a bot? Not sure what you’re driving at.
The closest anyone in my family has come to owning a car that’s been recalled is when I found out that a newer variant of my own car had been recalled 5 years ago and even then it was only in Australian models, maybe we all just got cars from good manufacturers ¯_(ツ)_/¯
I’ve had a Mercury, a Ford, and a Toyota. All three have had at least one recall.
The Toyota’s was a pretty minor one, tbf, and I suppose that Ford/Mercury could be argued to be a crappy manufacturer. I wouldn’t buy from them again anyway.
Maybe I’ve just had super crappy luck, but none were crappy cars on the surface. All 2-3 yrs old on purchase.
Like, out of curiosity, what car do you drive that doesn’t have any recalls? I’d be curious to know what it is.
I’ve got a second generation Kia Picanto, turns out there was actually a recall for 7k of them before mine was even built (probably why I didn’t know it was recalled) but that was the only one since they started making them in 2012.
The other generations have recalls too but honestly apart from the first generation they’ve all been so minor that I’m surprised it needed a recall, first gen had a fuel leak, second gen had a weak handbrake, third gen had cracked hoses and the 4th gen was missing a speaker that went off when your fog lamp is on.
I feel like a weak hand break and cracked hoses can be pretty catastrophic in the wrong circumstance. And it’s not like the cyber truck is anything other than first gen, so like, accelerator pedal defects seem on par with a fuel leak to me.
And that’s kinda my point, right? There was no news story when the Pinto had fuel leak problems right? I get that the cyber truck has more visibility, but like, it would almost be bizarre if it didn’t have a recall. I doubt any car on the market hasn’t had at least one big recall in its production run.
Yes, recalls happen, but no major car company except Tesl would have shipped that pedal design with an obvious flaw.
I mean, except for maybe Toyota, one of the biggest and most respected car manufacturers currently in operation?

I feel like there’s a difference between “this car has a recall notice for this part, bring it to a shop near you for a free repair” and “yo dawg your acceleration pedal is broken”
