Tesla Cybertruck Safety Woes: Sharp Edges and Poor Build Quality Spark Injuries and Recall
May 29, 2024A Tesla Cybertruck owner recently suffered a deep cut while inspecting his new vehicle during delivery, requiring a trip to the emergency room.
This incident adds to a series of injuries caused by sharp edges on the aluminum body panels.
Another previous incident involved an owner needing stitches due to similar issues.
The poor build quality of the Cybertruck is underscored by complaints about shoddy panel fitment, a dirty windscreen, rail dust rust spots, and a loose tonneau cover seal.
A recall has been announced for loose accelerator pedal covers, with Tesla installing a rivet to secure them.
These ongoing safety concerns highlight the urgent need for Tesla to address these issues to ensure customer safety and satisfaction.
