We finally know how many Cybertrucks Tesla has sold so far

1. “Would be issuing a recall for a defective front wiper. The Cybertruck’s single large front wiper (the largest ever used for a passenger vehicle) can fail due to “excessive electrical current.”

   A separate concurrent recall was also issued for the trim panel in the truck’s bed.

   Tesla also revealed the number of vehicles affected by the recall — 11,688 trucks — which would equate to
   the number of Cybertrucks sold since it includes vehicles in use, and in transit to customers.

   However, at its annual shareholder meeting two weeks ago, CEO Elon Musk disclosed Tesla achieved a production record of 1,300 Cybertrucks per week, with a stretch goal of 2,500 vehicles per week by the end of 2024.

   Producing 2,500 Cybertrucks a week equates to a theoretical 125,000 vehicles a year (with two weeks of factory downtime),
   or half the total Tesla sees as its full-volume production total of 250,000 units.

   The bigger question here is whether there are enough Cybertruck buyers for 125,000 vehicles produced in a year, let alone 250,000 vehicles.

   Musk claimed last year that Cybertruck demand was “off the hook” and also revealed at the shareholder meeting that cheaper, non-Foundation series Cybertrucks are on the way. “

2. Just saw one on the road today and oh man they’re ugly. Those turn signals are just a straight bland line. Jesus who would even buy them.

3. One for every recall issued?

4. 11K Cybertrucks recalled for wipers. Woah, that’s a serious problem,.

   Meanwhile, 600K F-150s are being recalled because they suddenly downshift into 1st gear, all by themselves, at highway speeds.

5. Excessive electrical current. Wow

   You’d think one thing Tesla could get right would be…electricity
