That I can't tell whether "the wheels coming off," is literal or figurative when it comes to Tesla is an indictment about their product quality at this point.

What a disaster. I don't really know anyone who is voluntarily buying Teslas when there are so many other viable options in an increasingly crowded marketplace.

I see a lot of them on the road so somebody must be buying them.

I don't know why, I buy trucks to haul stuff. (and I really wish there was an affordable truck to haul stuff with - everything I can find is 12+ years old and showing age)

Two counterpoints: for all the opinionated criticisms, the cybertruck is at least quite noticeable, and thusly you may think that they are a higher proportion of trucks than they really are.

Also, you're far more likely to see them drive around in certain locales due to the cost, so that may introduce additional biases.

They're the new tax fraud vehicle, replacing the Escalade: a luxury vehicle over a certain weight that gets reported as a "business expense" even when it's for personal use. That's also why a lot of them have shitty decals or stencil-paint advertising local businesses.

There are so many cars that even a fraction of a percent will be seen a lot. I never see a Rolls Royce by comparison.

Teslas or cyber trucks? If you mean teslas in general then you’re being willfully ignorant because model Ys are the best selling car in the US.

Only if you don't count trucks. Which are wildly more popular, though I wish they weren't.

From the article

> but it’s “not aware of any collisions, fatalities, or injuries” related to the recall.

[FireBeyond]

Fun fact, for Tesla's FSD/AI reporting, it doesn't consider any incident where airbags didn't deploy to count for accident stats. This includes situations where the airbag system cannot deploy because of catastrophic damage.

It also, strangely, doesn't count fatality incidents.

Hey just FYI, this kind of behavior is super annoying.
