Tesla is recalling more than 27,000 Cybertrucks because the rearview camera image may not activate immediately after shifting into reverse, the fifth recall for the vehicle since it went on sale late last year
What’s funny to me is there is nothing new in it. It’s trumped up garbage. It still has a chassis and 4 wheels. Nothing new. It’s stuffed with old tech that doesn’t work. These losers are guinea pigs and probably get scammed annually.
It’s not even cool, it’s scary. What happens when this 7,000 pound brick loses power? There’s now a battering ram flying down the road with absolutely no control.
Nope, the steering wheel has no mechanical connection to the wheels. There’s not even a mechanical emergency brake, that needs to be done electrically too.

Steer by wire is pretty much the only cool thing. It exists elsewhere sure, but not in vehicles of this size

I don’t understand the scenario where it would be flying down the road and not having power.
There’s no failsafe? Jesus.

Well that’s disconcerting.
Wow, surprised I haven’t seen this being discussed more.
