Only 173? Tesla Cybertruck RWD Recall Reveals Low Sales
- jqpabc123 6mo agoThe recall itself also offers a revealing glimpse into just how poorly the Cybertruck RWD sold. Wheels and body parts detaching and a stainless steel body that rusts should offer a glimpse into how carefully it is built too. https://www.wired.com/story/this-is-why-teslas-stainless-steel-cybertrucks-may-be-rusting/ https://www.wired.com/story/this-is-why-teslas-stainless-ste... https://engineerine.com/teslas-cybertruck-rusts/ https://engineerine.com/teslas-cybertruck-rusts/ https://supercarblondie.com/cybertruck-owners-shocked-rust-spots-tesla/ https://supercarblondie.com/cybertruck-owners-shocked-rust-s...
- chung8123 6mo agoThose photos don't look real. Hard to tell what is fake these days.
- InsideOutSanta 6mo agoI hate the Cybertruck as much as the next guy, but all of the photos I saw were wraps.
- jqpabc123 6mo agoI removed the photo link. The rust issue has been widely reported and I have seen it first hand. Bonus issue: Tesla's new and improved 4680 battery cells. https://electrek.co/2026/05/07/tesla-4680-battery-cell-performance-data-shows-cant-build-own-cells/ https://electrek.co/2026/05/07/tesla-4680-battery-cell-perfo...
- dzhiurgis 6mo agoSurely you got better source than electrec?
- jqpabc123 6mo agoLots of other sources regarding the production difficulties and performance issues with this "revolutionary" new battery. Feel free to find some of these and share. Here is a teaser to get you started: https://automatelife.net/why-teslas-4680-battery-hasnt-lived-up-to-expectations/ https://automatelife.net/why-teslas-4680-battery-hasnt-lived... Tesla positioned the 4680 battery as a foundational breakthrough, promising lower costs, longer range, and manufacturing simplicity. Over time, progress failed to match the original narrative, making the gap between ambition and execution increasingly difficult to ignore. Bonus issue: Tesla's battery manufacturing operation is dumping toxic metals into the environment. https://www.autoblog.com/news/teslas-clean-lithium-supply-faces-questions-after-toxic-metals-found-in-wastewater https://www.autoblog.com/news/teslas-clean-lithium-supply-fa...
- dzhiurgis 6mo agoI mean rust thing. Has _any_ CT actually rusted or it was just couple of millimeters of contamination from external sources?
- ortusdux 6mo agoThese appear to be vinyl wraps.

- mmh0000 6mo agoI'm honestly a little surprised that many people bought the RWD-only CT. If you're looking to buy a CT and have the money for one, considering the price difference after taxes and other fees. The RWD-only CT didn't make much sense when you could get AWD for a few thousand more, which increases range, torque, and speed.
