So they just send out a signal and they return to base like my Deebot?

I actually really wanted one but I failed the penis size verification test
BOGO.

I can now understand why trump was trying to sell them from the white house.
This the same cant rail that I, along with other posters, pointed out as poor design/execution but @seminole97 defended it because ‘it’s just trim, and it can happen to my truck?’
Weird to have a recall if it’s just everyday, every truck, type of stuff, huh?
Also notice Tesla is calling it a “panel” and not just “trim,” which is a distinction I made during that discussion as well.
Hopefully you skipped breakfast, cause that’s a lot of sh*t to eat this morning.

Incorrect font size on warning lights
Date of recall: Jan. 30, 2024Vehicles affected: 2,193,869
Component: Electrical System
This one wasn't just for the Tesla Cybertruck. Affected vehicles included the 2012-23 Tesla Model S, 2016-24 Model X, 2017-23 Model Y and the 2024 Cybertruck. The NHTSA found that the font size on the instrument panel for the brake, park and ABS warnings was too small, making it too difficult for the driver to read.
To fix the issue, Tesla issued a free over-the-air update, keeping owners from having to take their Teslas into dealerships for an official fix.
Unintended acceleration from trapped pedal
Date of recall: Apr. 17, 2024Vehicles affected: 3,878
Component: Vehicle Speed Control
Definitely the most major recall for the Cybertruck, this one affected Cybertrucks manufactured from Nov. 13, 2023, through Apr. 4, 2024. The NHTSA said in a report that the accelerator pedal on some Tesla Cybertrucks could dislodge and become trapped by the interior trim, causing the vehicle to accelerate uncontrollably. Drivers could stop the unintended acceleration by pressing and holding the brake pedal, which cuts power to the vehicle's electric motors.
Tesla owners had to bring their Cybertrucks into the dealership, where technicians repaired or replaced the accelerator pedal assembly for free. Per the NHTSA's report, the problem was caused by residual lubricant accidentally introduced during the manufacturing process that would cause the pad to fall off of the pedal assembly, thus becoming stuck. Once fixed, the pedal was no longer at risk of becoming stuck.

Front windshield wiper can fail
Date of recall: June 19, 2024Vehicles affected: 11,688
Component: Visibility
According to Tesla and the NHTSA, excessive electrical current was occasionally delivered to the front windshield wiper motor controller through a faulty component. The excessive current would eventually cause the motor to fail. Once the motor burned out, the front windshield wiper would become inoperable until it was repaired.
The issue affected Tesla Cybertrucks manufactured from Nov. 13, 2023, to June 6, 2024, totaling 11,688 units. To fix the issue, owners were encouraged to bring their Teslas to the dealership where the wiper motor was swapped with one without the component defect.

Improperly adhered trunk bed trim can detach
Date of recall: June 19, 2024Vehicles affected: 12,150
Component: Structure
This recall was issued on the same day as the windshield wiper issue. Tesla said a cosmetic applique on the truck, known as a sail applique, was incorrectly installed on some Cybertrucks. The appliques use an adhesive to stick to the frame of the truck, and some models had the adhesive improperly installed. The result is that the trim piece could become loose or even fall off with time, causing a road hazard for other drivers.
Cybertruck owners were asked to bring their trucks into the dealership to fix the issue. The fix included replacing any missing trim pieces, using an adhesion promoter to strengthen the existing adhesion, and using pressure-sensitive tape to hold the piece down. Affected trucks were manufactured from Nov. 13, 2023, to May 26, 2024.
Rearview camera image may not display
Date of recall: Sept. 26, 2024Vehicles affected: 27,185
Component: Back Over Prevention
The Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard states that a rearview camera must display an image within 2 seconds of the car being put in reverse. In certain conditions, the vehicle system may not complete the shutdown process before it's expected to boot up again. This causes a delay that can prevent the rearview camera from showing anything for longer than 2 seconds, which breaks the federal rules.
Much like with the incorrect font size recall, Tesla was able to fix this one with a free over-the-air update that kept owners from having to return to the dealership for fixes. Affected Cybertrucks include those made from Nov. 13, 2023, to Sept. 14, 2024.
Inverter fault may cause loss of drive power
Date of recall: Nov. 5, 2024Vehicles affected: 2,431
Component: Electrical System
This was Tesla's second recall affecting the Cybertruck electrical system. This one was caused by faulty metal-oxide-semiconductor field-effect transistors, otherwise known as MOSFETs and common in modern vehicles. A small number of Cybertrucks had faulty versions of these transistors in the drive inverter, which could cause the inverter to fail. Failure caused the trucks to stop producing torque and thus simply stop moving. The NHTSA investigation noted that there were no warning signs before failure, so the stoppage could happen at any time.
The fix requires Tesla Cybertruck owners to go to the dealership where the inverter was replaced free of charge. This recall is fairly new so owners haven't been formally informed by Tesla yet. The date of ownership notification is planned for the first week of January 2025. Affected trucks were manufactured between Nov. 6, 2023, and July 30, 2024.
Tire pressure warning-light issue
Date of recall: Dec. 17, 2024Vehicles affected: 694,304
Component: Tires
Tesla is recalling nearly 700,000 vehicles across 16 different car models because of an issue with its tire-pressure monitoring system. The recall affects the 2024 Cybertruck and 2017-2025 Model 3 and 2020-2025 Model Y vehicles, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.

The warning light that monitors tire pressure may not stay lit, meaning drivers might not know their tire pressure is low. That can increase the risk of a crash. Tesla is releasing a free over-the-air software update to help correct the issue. Owners of the impacted cars will receive notification letters in the mail beginning in mid-February 2025.
Sometimes it’s like that.
“I mocked him almost daily when he bought a Tesla, mocked him when he went on trips to visit charging stations, mocked him when he charged his car at work every day, mocked him for not having an engine.
He endured it all stoically. He explained to me that he doesn’t have the costs of mandatory servicing. He explained that charging on the road takes 15-20 minutes while he has a coffee and takes a break. He explained that he charges at work because electricity is cheap and he drives for €2 per 100 km. He explained that a Tesla has far fewer parts compared to an ICE car and that much less can go wrong.
In the end, the guy I mocked lent me his Model Y for 3 days and told me that afterward, I’d only want a Tesla.
And he was right. I guess that’s how life works. 😅🤷🏻♂️”

Nobody “both sides” better than you.
Seems that there was a manufacturer missing from your source
Are you good at math?
Divide the # of recalls by the vehicles impacted.
You’re welcome.
He won’t do that. His work is done in this thread with another transparent whataboutism.

I’ve owned a Tesla for nearly 10 years. I had at least two legitimate recalls in that timeframe (maybe three…lost track). These weren’t software updates. One was a defective chipset, the other was some type of bolt that could rust and fail. I love my car, but let’s not pretend Musk and team are perfect. FAR from it.
Wowza, the reek of desperation is thick. They must be stacked to the ceiling with inventory.
Depends on other factors how much down or how much due at end of lease.
21 recalls on average is a useless statistic. I would never buy a Jeep vehicle and will only own Toyota vehicles. Chrysler/Jeep #1 on that list with 39 recalls, Toyota not even on the list so less than 12. I’ve never had a recall on my Toyota Camry, because I’m brilliant and superior to most humans, especially Eloon.Recalls in the US in 2024

True that, all a part of the equation. There’s no way I’d lease a Tesla because I suspect they will try to nickel and dime you to death when it’s time to settle at the end of the lease term.
"Our data shows you took your Tesla through the 5th St Car wash 12x a year. That voids our warranties"

This is so dumb. Boycott doesn’t mean running personal property. Dimwits
No, it can also mean dumping your Tesla stock, trading in your Tesla vehicle, and deciding to never buy one. Ever.
And, calling out those who do. No laws broken.
