Tesla's Cybertruck Fiasco: When 'Futuristic' Meets 'Glitchy'

Buckle up, folks! Tesla just announced a recall of over 27,000 Cybertrucks because the rearview cameras are slower than Biden's speechwriter. That's right, the cutting-edge truck that's supposed to make us feel like we're living in a sci-fi movie is having trouble showing what's behind it. But don't worry, a software update is supposed to fix it. Let's hope it's not as buggy as Obamacare's website.

This isn't the first rodeo for the Cybertruck. Back in April, they had to recall some trucks because the accelerator pedal was looser than a liberal's morals. Then, in June, it was windshield wipers and exterior trim causing a ruckus.

Elon Musk, Tesla's CEO, launched the Cybertruck to spice up the company's lineup amidst slowing EV demand. Inspired by "Blade Runner," it's supposed to be the cool kid on the block. But investors are watching it like a hawk because of all the resources Tesla has poured into it.

Here's the kicker: the system in some Cybertrucks might not shut down properly before it's told to boot up again. This means the rearview image could take up to eight seconds to appear—long enough for you to question your life choices. Tesla found the issue in early October, and all new Cybertrucks have the software patch.

So there you have it. The future of trucks is here, but it's a bit glitchy. Maybe they should have spent less time on making it look like a prop from a dystopian movie and more on making sure it works right out of the box. But hey, at least it's not a Green New Dealmobile... yet.
