Here’s hoping Elon Musk won’t have to personally fix President Trump’s new EV anytime soon.

    Anything endorsed by Trump is a scam.

    $90k is nothing for these people.

    You have any clue how much Trump is stealing from tax payers? The dude is making a fortune off being president.

    Hearing Trump talk about how the car has ‘computer’ (during the news conference) made me think back to a news event with George H.W. Bush in a supermarket, seeing a grocery barcode scanner for the first time.

    Same kind of inquisitive and excited response from both of them.

    I doubt if he paid for it, or if it’ll ever be driven.

    I hate how people think “news” is just literally every single thing trump or musk does now.

    “Rich fuck buys shitty car” is not news.

    It’d be such a shame if it caught fire.

    Okay but were they actual recalls or just OTA software update “recalls”

      https://www.familyhandyman.com/article/tesla-cybertruck-recalls/

      Honestly , I wonder how they got 37 and what they are. My guess is that most were really small software updates like you said. With that said, here is the list of the ones that I heard about. Out of the 6 listed, 5 were exclusive to the truck, and it looks like 5 of the 6 were actual recalls.

      I’m not sure how people are ok with that, considering the price and how awful the reviews are about how it’s built and drives. For comparison, I have now owned 5 cars in my life and had a total of 3 recalls. The total cost of the 5 cars combined is 26k, and that’s over 25 years. My one and only point is I can’t believe people are willing to throw 90k at a car full of problems when 90k should be buying you a well-built luxury car with peace of mind.
