Cybertruck’s Many Recalls Make It Worse Than 91 Percent of All 2024 Vehicles


Since launch, Tesla's polarizing electric pickup has been beset by quality issues, and is now heading to be one of the most unreliable EVs made yet. Strangely, Cybertruck owners may not care one bit.

Stomping on the accelerator pedals of the affected Cybertrucks might get their drivers nowhere—a downer, you’d think, for a vehicle faster to 60mph than a Lamborghini Aventador—but, adds the Hawaii-based Drury, that won’t harm the pickup’s reputation with many wannabe owners. “I was thinking I have to wait a couple of [years] before my time comes,” MC1987 responded to BayouCityBob, citing his invitation to purchase his second Cybertruck (the poster had returned their first, a top-spec Cyberbeast, because of alleged “build quality issues.”) “This is so wild,” they said. Any spike in general automobile recalls should not necessarily worry consumers since defects range widely in severity, and very few are stop-sale orders or demands to immediately cease driving any particular model.
