Tesla Cybertruck Deliveries Reportedly Halted | Investor's Business Daily

Tesla (TSLA) has halted Cybertruck deliveries, according to social media chatter, possibly to address a problem with the accelerator pedal. [...] Tesla does not have a media relations department, and often doesn't disclose key news to the public. [...] On Saturday, noted Tesla influencer @wholemarsblog wrote on Elon Musk's X that "Tesla has stopped all Cybertruck deliveries for 7 days due to an issue with the accelerator pedal."

You can't convince me that's not just a spatula.

This is just what Elwood Blues does to the “Good Ol’ Boys’” Winnebago.

In this case the gas pedal might benefit from some of that glue. (Strong stuff.)

It's 1:43 long. You might have to find the vid later if "due to a technical error" Elon has the tweet removed from Twitter.

Tesla owners always sound like they are doing a bit.

Every Cybertruck owner is like I paid 80k for this and it almost killed my entire family. Small issue. Love the car!!

it was actually $122k

Why is this not surprising at all

because every new car had small issues. just this one happens to be dangerous

Hmm I wonder if some sort of thing could prevent people from selling dangerous lemons... some sort of reg-gu-layshuns

Guess we'll never knew

natural selection at work. The type of guy to drive one of these is likely the type of guy to have some abhorrent views on things. Theyre just removing themselves from the gene pool i guess.

Unfortunately they're more likely to remove innocent pedestrians from the gene pool.

Based on how there's no crumple zones in this monument to conservative dweebshit I'd say it's less than even odds on any of these assholes surviving a crash lmao

do you have what it takes to dig five touchscreens menus deep in size ten font to engage the emergency brake as you accelerate uncontrollably towards a bus full of nuns

[–] LaGG_3@hexbear.net 1 points 7 months ago (1 children)

You try to engage the parking break in the tablet menu, but it's actually an Easter egg that changes the horn sound to Duke Nuken saying "I've got balls of steel"

Shortly before the crash, you think "nice prank, my good sir"

The ensuing fire from the lithium battery burns down 3 blocks and an orphanage

Lmfao I saw that the 2024 model 3 forces you to use the touchscreen to go engage Drive and Reverse by swiping up or down, respectively, on the left edge of the screen. Those mfs also put turn signals on a little thumb pad on the face of the left spoke of the steering wheel instead using a stalk like every car since 1930

The Nintendo Switch Joy-Con drift problem, except it's on your steering wheel and you will get pulled over by a cop or rear-ended when it stops working.

Never get into a Tesla should be a trueanon rule if it isn’t already

this would be a good mobile game ala Defuse the Bomb
