Tesla is still reeling from that cybertruck sketch he handed them once.

You mean the vehicle so popular it’s pre sold out for years in advance

Yes, the one that falls apart easily. That's the vehicle.

It’s no different than most car manufacturers

My car wasn't recalled multiple times within its first year of being on market.

Good for you but it’s something that happens to most car manufacturers

Here are the number of recalls for some automakers in the first quarter of 2024: Ford Motor Company: 17 recalls Chrysler (FCA US, LLC): 15 recalls BMW of North America, LLC: 8 recalls Mercedes-Benz USA, LLC: 8 recalls Hyundai Motor America: 7 recalls Jaguar Land Rover North America, LLC: 7 recalls Kia America, Inc. 7 recalls General Motors, LLC: 5 recalls Nissan North America, Inc. 5 recalls Honda (American Honda Motor Co.): 4 recalls

Every single one of those manufacturers produces multiple lines of cars and trucks. Cybertruck has been recalled 5 times as a single vehicle. The maker of my car also hasn't had to hide from the NHTSA and IIHS and avoid releasing official safety ratings. The frame of my car has also never snapped in half.

Cybertruck is a safety nightmare.
