Drudge Retort: The Other Side of the News
Friday, May 08, 2026

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.

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.

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?

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.
