Wheels May Fall Off CyberPintos

LAST YEAR, NEARLY all Cybertrucks had to be recalled because Tesla used the wrong glue on a steel trim panel that the carmaker said could become detached while driving. Now, yet another embarrassing recall exposes that the electric pickup could see wheels come off certain models due to the use of the wrong grease. In what is the 11th Cybertruck recall so far, alongside concerns that the stainless steel trucks could be rusting, Tesla is recalling its Rear Wheel Drive (RWD) Cybertruck Long Range over faulty brake rotors. In a notice posted by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, Tesla states that "brake rotor stud holes may crack and allow the stud to separate from the wheel hub."

Embarrassing sums it up.

No vehicle has ever screamed "LOOK AT ME" more than one of these.

Has anyone ever seen one used as a truck?

It's like all the sporty little convertibles being driven around by 80-year-old men. Just go away.

I have not. It would be interesting to try one off road, but I don't see it happening.

Yes. There are three or four owners at the airport. On guy rows a little camper trailer to the Sierra foothills quite regularly.

But there is one that is all modded out like most trucks these days.

Cyber trucks are the ugliest eye soars ever built.

Only absolute morons and douchebags buy them.
