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.
Honest question, what’s there to be hyped about? I haven’t ever looked into its feature set because it looks like ass. Do people just like the Tesla name or what?
I mean… It’s unique in it’s looks. I don’t know if that’s positive
That’s what they said about me.
For many of those years it was the only electric pickup truck being advertised. And also, yes people do like the Tesla name. Musk and growing competition has done a ton to tank the reputation lately, but until just a couple years ago Tesla was far and away the best and most advanced electric car, and depending on your criteria the most advanced/best car period. Perception shifts slowly outside of well-informed groups, and the Musk hate is really only affecting well-informed left wing groups right now, so a lot of libertarian Musk fanboys are still fully on the Tesla train
Now that it’s available for sale, and ignoring the looks/stainless steel aspects, I think the biggest thing to be excited about is the steer by wire.
Reviews seem to be saying it drives exceptionally well because of it, and that’d really differentiate it from the other options.
Edit: the steer by wire with the 4 wheel steering.
I’m guessing here, but did 100% of these reviews come from a country with some of the worst fucking drivers on the entire planet?
