Saw this earlier today. Looking at some production estimates, I think about 10% of cybertrucks had the faulty mosfets and are affected. Around 1% of those affected may actually experience a failure, per the recall documentation.
>and this time there’s no software fix No sarcasm or bias at all in that headline. /s
and it's all the early ones--all produced trucks, up to some date in July 2024, correct?
A common response to a Tesla recall is “Tesla can fix this OTA”. So clarifying this recall needs more than a software update is fairly relevant to distinguish it.
Well, there's obviously a bit of sarcasm, but it also makes a ton of sense to mention that it's a "get your car to service" recall, considering Tesla's history.
They'd only made 2431 trucks by July 2024? That doesn't seem right.
Is that surprising to you? Early on in the production of a brand new type of vehicle with a stainless steel exterior?
They recalled 3800+ cars for the faulty accelerator peddles in April. That's why I was asking. It can't be "all the early cars" if it includes cars built from November to July.
No, this does not affect all trucks. My vin 70xx from april is not impacted. They made probably 20k-30k by the date for the recall, so my guesstimate since they're recalling 2431 is probably \~10% have the affected mosfets.

Be fair. I'm sure that for "recalls" that are actually just software updates, the article's headline will take care to mention that as well. /s Actually, in the past Gitlin has insisted on using the term "recall" for both software or hardware fixes, regardless of whether the article clarifies that point. He also predicted that the opening of the Supercharger network would lead to non-Tesla cars getting keyed, based on his opinion of Tesla drivers, though he later deleted that comment. As an Ars subscriber, I've blocked the cars section so that I don't have to deal with the BS.
Oh my god an actual recall!
It’s surprising because they made far more than that by July.
This needs to be read in movie-guy voice
Short the stock short the stock!
Happened to me a few months ago. Heard a loud boom and speed limited to 66 miles an hour. Was about an hour away from my house and had to drive home on the highway with people tailgating me hard. Tesla fixed it relatively quickly.
Haters celebrate and news outlets can’t wait for the clicks but it’s pretty amazing how negligible every hiccup has been with so many people rooting for Cybertruck to fail. The team pushes out software and hardware fixes nonstop. Obviously, it’d be nice if it was perfect out the gate but even legacy auto has many serious recalls that just don’t make headlines.
Same. Luckily I was in town. Was able to get an appointment the following day. Took 4 days to repair. They gave me a Model X Plaid to drive though, that was awesome. Sadly they had speed limiting turned on. Why give me the Plaid if I can’t launch mode past 85 mph….. overall good experience.
There's only 1 reason to follow Ars Technica: The war criminal.
I'm fine with most of Ars Technica's writers, with a few notable exceptions, but I admit if Berger started a Substack I'd probably leave with him. The clickbait has gotten more aggravating over the years, though at least the new subscriber ability to block certain sections has made it easier to filter most of it out.
Yeah I had this happen too on a sub 1000 vin truck. Speed was limited to 65. They called me before I could put in a service ticket to ask me to take it in. Dropped it in Dallas around 3pm and it was ready first thing the next morning. Not a big issue at all.
You have to be a subscriber to block Gitlin's unhinged slop? That... might be worth it. I'd follow Berger too. His astronomy and space industry work is great.
Haha, it's the "...and this time..." bit that makes this!

Yeah and the thing is most of the trucks are fine. 99% of Cybertrucks haven’t had any issues, like mine. It’s been amazing, and I almost didn’t get it due to the crazy volume of FUD about it on Reddit.
Jalopnik is worse. The blatant political slant and hate Elon everything is ridiculous.
Same here, loud pop, max speed 65mph front wheels only. Rear inverter replaced within 2 days.
Same here. VIN 000971
Up vote because it's so rare to see affect/effect used correctly.
Why did they not just pass you while you were driving in the lane to the right?
How? The ones recalled are affected not 10% of that.

happy cake day
Thanks!
Some of the way back was on a single lane road.
Same too, although I didn't hear a boom
Why would anybody drive this like we have a few here I avoid them because I look at them as a bomb
Cyber truck is terrible
Ohhh noooo an actual recall. What is the world coming to? IT IS THE END OF TESLA
You guys are lucky, took 3 weeks to get service time in LA.
But a gas car is not. You need you brain checked
I probably do i just closed on a house and im a bit shht faced
Your face is on your mom and dad the other is research.
...it's personal!
lol tailgated going 65 on a single lane road is crazy. most of my time in wv i’ll be constantly passing people even when im going the speed limit the whole time bc they’ll slow down to 20 on every curve
Texas has speed limits of up to 85 mph. Not sure about single lane roads, but I wouldn't be surprised about 70.
true, i’m so used to single lane roads = mountain switchbacks and not just rural area. On a flatter road you can easily go like 65-70 safely
It’s a country road. People go 70 on it all the time.
Software can’t fix snow buildup on headlights, that’s just a hilarious, albeit expected design oversight
How do people continue to ignore the problems this thing has? Regardless of what you think of the aesthetic, it has had so many issues, many of which are completely foreseeable and avoidable.
How is this not a big issue at all? LOL…
