If this piece of crap is worse than only 91% of all 2024 vehicles, I really wonder what the other 9%, vehicles that are allegedly even worse, are. The article doesn't name them.
Cybertruck's Many Recalls

Re: Cybertruck's Many Recalls
#12Completely unrelated to safety, these vehicles don't look like they are aging well. They are all completely new but the ones I am seeing on the road already look a bit beat up. That finish on them and their general styling emphasize every minor blemish.
Every one I’ve seen has a wrap for this reason

Car panels are convex on nearly all other cars for very good reason. Flat panels are structurally susceptible to damages which wouldn’t mark a standard panel. Adding a highly reflective surface was another great move.

#14Are these "recalls" just simple over the air software updates? Just because car people are not used to this doesn't make it necessarily bad. Obviously no bugs are better than some bugs. But people here tend to know how software development works.
From the first paragraph of TFA: > The latest recall—the wedge wagon’s sixth this year—requires shop time, not an over-the-air (OTA) update.
That doesn’t answer which one they are considering to determine this ranking,
Re: Cybertruck's Many Recalls
#15The article notes that the most recent recall was a physical one, not a software update, and implies that that was unusual. I wonder if you exclude "recalls" resolved by software updates, for all cars, where it would rank then?
If that's indeed it, I would rank the article as worse than 91 percent of ordinary boring Elon and Tesla bashing in 2024.
I guess on a positive note they stopped posting that Tesla is almost bankrupt for the 1000th time because Elon.

That's the point... It is the only one and affects less than 3000 vehicles. A prior physical recall affected a few hundred.
For most automakers, a recall involves hundreds of thousands to millions and is almost never an OTA software update.

#17I saw my first Cybertruck the other day. It looked less weird in person than I expected it. It's a very different and new design. How many of the 91% we're comparing to are completely new designs. What's the correct benchmark? Let's rewrite the headline. "A radical new EV design from Tesla, the Cybertruck, is already ahead of 9% of all 2024 vehicles in quality as it just ramps up production". I'll likely never own th…
Radically new and stupid and should be illegal design. It’s a death machine for pedestrians.

#18I imagine they know V1 is for the die hard early adopters. V2 will be the mass market push.

Could not disagree more. They are the freshest looking vehicles on the road.
To each their own on this matter because styling is a matter of taste. I remember the shift from the '70s style boxy cars to the mid to late '80s rounded style cars. I wasn't a fan of that new style when it came out but it did eventually grow on me.
For me the cybertruck looks like something out of a low budget'70s Sci-Fi movie. Who knows in 10 years maybe it will start to appeal to me but for right now it doesn't.
