A Tesla owner’s dream of taking his new Cybetruck for a spin turned into a nightmare. He landed in the emergency room with blood spurting from a wrist wound before even getting behind the wheel.

      Likely going in for the pedal recall to be completely fair.

      Still wild that they managed to fuck that up by using glue and having the metal traction pad slide onto the pedal instead of latching or being crimped or screwed in.

      They go through the trouble of having a second motor for the steer by wire in case of a failure, but they can’t make a pedal apparently.

      A truck towing a “truck”.

      Not that trucks deserve any respect. But at least real trucks like flatbeds have a purpose.
