You fell for that? It was debunked ages ago.
No, but we can certainly measure your jealousy level by their salary.
Yikes! Major safety issue with Cybertruck accelerator pedals getting stuck. Luckily there's a brake pedal, but still a recall for all Cybertrucks to fix it.PSA: Tesla vehicles have suffered multiple recalls, but they tend to result from software problems that the company can address through over-the-air (OTA) updates without physically returning the cars. However, drivers have discovered a serious problem with the Cybertruck that software patches can't fix.
The US Department of Transportation has issued a recall for all Tesla Cybertrucks due to a defect that can cause the acceleration pedal to become stuck under the interior trim, leading to unintentional and sustained acceleration. Fortunately, pressing the brake pedal simultaneously will stop the truck.
Tesla will repair or replace affected accelerators for free under recall number SB-24-33-003 and mail notices to owners starting in June. Owners can call Tesla customer service at 1-877-798-3752 or visit their website at tesla.com/contact.

Here's why CyberTruck sales are halted. It's a SERIOUS issue.
You can see that even when this owner pressed the brake...as soon as he let off the vehicle accelerated again.
TERRIBLE design by Tesla here... pic.twitter.com/Q97ACBo6AuThe company received the earliest known customer complaint over the issue at the end of March. Testing and further customer claims confirmed that the problem is widespread enough to warrant a recall.
A TikTok video from a Cybertruck owner illustrates how grave the issue is. In the clip, user @el.chepito1985 shows that the pedal's cover can slide off and into the path of the interior trim, keeping the accelerator at full throttle. He claims this defect presented itself to him while driving, but he could fortunately stop and park the vehicle before suffering a crash.
Tesla cars have suffered recalls before from problems with acceleration, autopilot, camera feeds, and other features. However, these were software problems that the company solved through OTA patches. A recall requiring physical service for each Cybertruck will likely further damage the vehicle's already tarnished reputation.
Multiple delays plagued the truck's rollout earlier this year, reportedly due to serious concerns about its design. Although the final production model resolved the glass durability shortcomings from the Cybertruck's embarrassing unveiling, post-launch tests showed that it fell short of its advertised driving range, forcing Tesla to revise it.
In related news, the company's vehicle deliveries last quarter fell by over eight percent year-over-year. Tesla blames the slide on factors like preparations for the production of the updated Model 3, the Berlin Gigafctory arson attack, and shipment delays stemming from attacks in the Red Sea. These and other problems have likely contributed to a steady decline in the company's stock price over the past few days.
All Cybertrucks recalled because acceleration pedals can become stuck
Total number of accidents from said "major safety issue": zero.
100%
That's about as meaningless and stupid as saying I'm jealous of the last billion dollar lottery winner.
Well, the interior trim is there to hide the carpet edges. And as I said before, you have to be mashing the pedal to contact the firewall trim. Personally, I'd just take a Dremel tool and cut away a tiny bit of the trim and be done with it.
No I didn't. The video being sent around is a fake, but he did fire 7500 people on a zoom call in his first month after purchasing the company. He also fired all the employees who were critical of the (shambolic) way he was going about the takeover. I don't know how an obviously intelligent person as yourself can defend such a deeply flawed character. He's a massively egotistic, attention-seeking, narcissist with a huge side-order of Messiah Complex.
If you won't believe me then just read this New York Times (one of the few news organisations in the States you can still trust) article on the Twitter purchase. It really gives some insight into what a petulant little child he really is...
It would seem that personality profiles defy the natural laws of magnetism. With personalities, like poles attract, and opposite poles repel.
Cool story, bro. Think anyone will buy it?
Nothing whatsoever in that NYT link supports your assertion that "Musk fired 7800 people on a Zoom call". Nor did Musk "fire people who criticized him". In every case, he fired people that either publicly criticized his policies for the direction Twitter was being taken, or some other factor. If you're not going to be a team player, you have no business on the team.
Except that Toyota recalled several million vehicles for this very same problem -- some stretching back many years. And yet neither then nor today -- more than a decade later, with millions more of those vehicles never having received the "fix" -- there hasn't been one single recorded accident chalked up to that "major safety issue".
You stated that "all CEOs are sociopaths" and that you measure the degree of their aberration by simply examining their salary. That's nothing but sour grapes on your part. I'm honestly sorry you don't see that.
I m where a watched a process drama on TV once, where a murders occurred within a large corporation. So,the detectives were questioning the board of directors, including their hypothesis that a sociopath might have committed it. The CEO looked back and said, "we're all sociopaths in this room".
And being a "team player" at "X", primarily entails worshiping Musk, never disagreeing with him, and working 16 hours a day, and sleeping there if he says so.
He censors X more than it ever has been. Anything he disagrees with gets removed. The guise of wanting it to support freedom of speech was absolutely obsurd. He did the exact opposite of what he said he wanted.
Why post such disinformation? This isn't true at all. Twitter is no longer actively working with the FBI to censor true, but politically damaging stories, and there are literally millions of tweets made every today which disagree with Musk, often stridently so.
Well, you certainly won this debate. If you saw it happen on a TV drama, it must be an accurate reflection of reality.
Actually, that story was featured on "Law and Order: Criminal Intent". Stories in the franchise were advertised as "ripped from the headlines". In fact, in the original series, criminal cases were indeed modeled off current headlines. Of course, names were changed.
