Tesla has recalled a total of 173 Cybertruck models from the 2024-2026 model year equipped with 18-inch steel wheels due to a potential wheel-stud failure.
Cracks in the brake rotor stud holes could cause the wheel studs to separate from the hub, making it harder to control the vehicle and potentially causing the wheel to fall off, increasing the likelihood of a crash.
Affected vehicles may exhibit vibration or noise prior to wheel stud separation. Tesla says it will completely replace the affected wheel hubs and rotors. The repairs will be conducted at no cost to owners, as mandated by law.
Automakers recall many cars to fix safety defects, sometimes more than once. While automakers try to reach every owner to ask them to bring the vehicle in for repair, they rarely get them all. Millions of vehicles on American roads need free recall repairs. To find out if your car is one of them, check the easy VIN tool at our recall center. L|A
Recalls used to be a mark of embarrassment for automakers, now they're just considered part of putting on Patch 1.02, 1.11.4, etc. to their beta rollout versions.

Just like you should never preorder a video game, you should never buy a brand new or hell even a year old vehicle. Just buy a time and tested used or work to build one yourself summer car style.
Your paying a premium to be a beta tester, at least video games are not an upper five figure minimum purchase.
Or a console, for that matter.
I got hip to this shit when the 360 launched and the infamous RED RING OF DEATH became a meme, just before I started making money for myself and was capable of making independent financial decisions.
1st generation of anything is an experiment, you don't fucking know anything about how well it works or if it works at all.
That is also how I made my COVID jab decision.
9 months after the virus is out and they rushed a """cure"""?
And where are the long term studies? Oh, that's right, WE ARE THE LONG TERM STUDIES!!!

Recalls are a thing that every car company has to do with regularity, especially with modern litigiousness.
Recalls used to mean "critical safety issue" instead of "slight chance of part failing 3 seconds before median failure time as detected under laboratory conditions"
You just don't hear about it when Ford or GM or Toyota recall cars over a bad batch of transistors meaning 5,000 specific units now have an 0.5% greater chance of a fire in the blower motor.
Because nobody in the establishment has it out for the CEO of any of those companies like they do Elon.
That said? Recalls over wheels falling off is embarrassing nonetheless.

Yes. People will see this as proof that FELON MUSK is KILLING PEOPLE with his BAD ASS-CARS, but in reality it's nearly the rule rather than the exception that your vehicle - regardless of make - will eventually be recalled for some horrific reason these days. Tesla actually has one of the lowest recall rates in the world, which is surprising because of how much unnecessary Star Trek Wannabe bullshit goes into their vehicles.

Barack Obama's VP became President, after Donald Trump! Yeah, the Apprentice guy became Commander In Chief!
We had a global pandemic created out of sackcloth by a guy that tortured beagle puppies and ended up being found out as the guy behind the AIDS epidemic!
Your favorite celebrities are either dead or have one foot in the grave.
Why would a freshman senator who just got elected by releasing his opponents' sealed divorce records have a "VP"? Is it some kind of weird Chicago rule? I'm glad they keep the crazies there where they can't spread their corruption.
