Tesla is recalling its Cybertruck for the fourth time to fix problems with trim pieces that can come loose and front windshield wipers that can fail | The new recalls each affect over 11,000 trucks (apnews.com)

The company says in the documents that the front windshield wiper motor controller can stop working because it’s getting too much electrical current. A wiper that fails can cut visibility, increasing the risk of a crash. The Austin, Texas, company says it knows of no crashes or injuries caused by the problem.

In the other recall, a trim piece along the truck bed can come loose and fly off, creating a hazard for other motorists.

Tesla says in documents that the trim piece is installed with adhesive, and that may not have been done properly at the factory.

Say what you want about Musk, but bankrupting TWO multibillion dollar companies at the same time is impressive.

Don’t forget PayPal. He almost ruined it until they kicked him out.

That isn't at the same time though... You kinda missed the whole thing with that.

PayPal has been ruined for quite a while. I'm not sure why anyone still uses it.

[–] Sheldan@mander.xyz 0 points 5 months ago (1 children)

What is ruined about it? I use it regularly for online payments or payments between friends

[–] nomous@lemmy.world 0 points 5 months ago (2 children)

It's inferior in every way. PayPal has been known to freeze accounts and drag their feet on unfreezing them. With Venmo and CashApp and all the various cryptos sending money to people has never been easier.

Venmo and CashApp

Why would you use either of these when Zelle exists and is built into your bank's app?

Third-party money transfer apps are very rare in a lot of non-US countries, because people just transfer money using their bank account. They're only popular in the USA because US banks were so far behind in terms of technology compared to the rest of the developed world.

This is the Netflix argument again. Netflix was first to market and then other people reacted and innovated. Now everyone thinks that Netflix sucks. No different than Paypal.

[–] nomous@lemmy.world 0 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago) (1 children)

Yeah, Netflix is a shadow Its former self, thanks for proving the point.

[–] stoly@lemmy.world 0 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago) (5 children)

And is that Netflix's fault? It's not--it's the fault of the others. You know this but went for a gotcha anyway. It's like winning is more important than persuading. Too bad.

The Tron-inspired Cybertruck failed in a catastrophic accident because apparently the super powered x-treem window wipers were turbo maxed to the power of RAD.

Day one patches effect physical games too I guess

[–] Djtecha@lemm.ee 0 points 5 months ago

Great, now I have to worry about the morons buying this garbage flinging it at me.

Are these things literally Little Tykes Cozy Coupes like wtf

[–] vaultdweller013@sh.itjust.works 0 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Hey now those sons of bitches could be durable. I saw one get hit by a f150 once and the f150 had more damage. Dont fuck with the cozy coupes.

[–] SkyezOpen@lemmy.world 0 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Yeah because Elon doesn't understand the concept of a crumple zone. God forbid a cybertruck hits anything solid faster than 35mph, the people inside would get splattered.

[–] phoenixz@lemmy.ca 0 points 5 months ago

A 35 mph crash would make the inside of that cyber truck do https://youtu.be/waG8YYTwpAQ?si=ncyl2l4IiP7GDLuk

Even a simple 10 mph "crash" without crumple zone would be painful to say the least

[–] Sam_Bass@lemmy.world 0 points 5 months ago

Either they hired from Boeing or Boeing hired from them

[–] ocassionallyaduck@lemmy.world 0 points 5 months ago

Aka all trucks sold, lol.

They have lots full of these oversized ugly behemoths.

[–] lipilee@feddit.nl 0 points 5 months ago (1 children)

The real story is they have 11k of this piece of crap on the roads
