The majority of Tesla "recalls" have been OTA updates that happen automatically. They get called a recall due to historic laws.
This is actually a physical recall, considering panelling is falling off. So is a lot more expensive for Tesla. Lol
Obligatory Screw Musk here. The whole reason, everyone was told that Cybertruck had to have flat panels like that, is that they were to be structural. As in, instead of cosmetic body parts bolted to a unibody frame, the body panels themselves would be folded at the seams to provide the structural integrity across the whole skin of the vehicle. While I certainly didn't like the look of Cybertruck, I did appreciate there was a new function-over-form reason for the "low poly" look as a method of innovative manufacturing.
Finding out that these panels are literally just stuck on with adhesive is even worse than the original problem they said they were solving with the flat panels. Its "duct tape and bailing wire" masquerading as innovation. Once again, shame on Tesla, shame on Musk.
Yeah, the idea for monocoque car body/frame was really interesting but this is just fucking silly
Ah-ha-ha. That's even sweeter schadenfreude
