For Tesla's futuristic new Cybertruck, a fourth recall
apnews.com
Tesla is recalling its futuristic new Cybertruck pickup for the fourth time in the U.S. to fix problems with trim pieces that can come loose, and failing front windshield wipers.

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.

    Right, I considered it …. I’m not interested in a truck but a fully refundable $100 to hold my place in line, for what was at the time the first EV pickup?

      Rivian had shown off their EV truck a year and a half before Tesla announced the Cyber Truck. And it’s a much more useful vehicle.

      I believe the Ford Lightning EV might have been in the works already too, but not sure if it was announced yet.

      Rivian also started delivering its truck in 2021 after showing the concept in may 2018.
