Tesla’s Cybertruck Circus: Now With Delayed Camera Drama

Oh, the electric circus that is Tesla continues! The company that makes electric toys for the rich just announced it's recalling over 27,000 Cybertrucks because their rearview cameras are slower than a dial-up modem. Apparently, the delay could impair driver visibility and increase crash risks, you know, minor stuff. But don't worry, folks, a magical software update will supposedly fix it all.

This is the biggest recall yet for the dystopian fashion statement on wheels, following an April recall for a loose accelerator pedal pad and a June recall for wonky windshield wipers and exterior trim. Who knew making a truck that looks like a rejected prop from a low-budget sci-fi movie would be so hard?

Tesla started delivering these behemoths in November after a two-year delay due to production problems and battery supply constraints. Surprise, surprise, they haven't bothered to share any production or delivery numbers.

CEO Elon Musk, who probably thought he was remaking "Blade Runner" but with more product placement, launched the Cybertruck to refresh his company's lineup amid slowing EV demand. Investors are watching this dumpster fire closely because, well, Tesla’s dumped a ton of resources into it.

So, why the recall? According to Tesla, the Cybertruck's system might not finish shutting down before starting up again, causing a delay in showing the rearview image. Some drivers might not see anything for up to eight seconds when reversing, which is about as safe as driving through a foggy night with your eyes closed.

Tesla claims they discovered the issue early last month and all Cybertrucks currently in production have been enlightened with the software fix. Stay tuned for the next episode of "Elon’s Electric Circus," folks!
