Tesla Cybertruck recalled due to drive inverter problem
Tesla has recalled its Cybertruck after complaints that the truck's wheels were losing power. November 14, 2024 — The 2024 Tesla Cybertruck recall involves more than 2,400 trucks with a risk of losing power to the wheels due to a faulty drive inverter.

In October, engineers determined that drive inverters were experiencing an increase in failure rates. If there is a problem with the inverter, electric truck drivers will receive a warning to get off the road. The automaker has received five warranty claims but no crashes or injuries reported. Starting around December 9, 2024, Tesla will replace the Cybertruck drive inverter. However, Cybertruck recall letters will not be sent out until January 2025. Tesla Cybertruck owners with questions are asked to call 877-798-3752 and refer to drive inverter recall number SB-24-40-009.

The world’s first Tesla Cybertruck Dual is truly amazing
The electric pickup truck has a pair of massive 26-inch wheels covered with 35-inch tires. Despite the new fenders, the OEM charging port remains. There's no word yet on how much the upgraded wheels will reduce the truck's mileage. A ton of Tesla Cybertrucks came to Las Vegas for SEMA last week, but the one that stood out the most was a store in Florida you've probably never heard of: Reds Miami.

You can lease a Tesla Cybertruck for $1,249 a month, but
Tesla is advertising lease deals for the base Cybertruck that include a hefty down payment, or $1,249 with no deposit, for 36 months and 10,000 miles per year go through Chris Chilton 7 hours ago Tesla now offers a Cybertruck lease for $999 per month, with an upfront payment of $7,500. Skipping the down payment would raise the monthly cost to $1,249, making it a safer option for renters. Speed-hungry truck buyers can lease the 830-horsepower Cyberbeast for $1,439 per month with no money down. Since its launch last December, everyone who owns a Tesla Cybertruck has been required to buy one. But this month Tesla opened up leasing options, giving fans of the angular pickup truck a chance to drive one for as low as $999 per month. Those are the advertised figures for a three-year, 10,000-mile (16,000-km) lease agreement for the dual-motor model. But, as is often the case with these deals, the reality was less rosy. When…

Best-selling electric cars of 2024: Cybertruck overtakes Mach-E to enter
Booming sales of the Tesla Cybertruck helped it overtake the Ford Mustang Mach-E in the third quarter. Cybertruck deliveries reached 16,692 units, while Mach-E sales fell nearly 10% to 13,392 units. This surge helped Tesla lock in the top three spots for electric vehicles, with the first two spots being the Y and 3. Analysts often tell us that the high price of electric vehicles is one of the main reasons why sales fall short of automakers' expectations. But that thinking doesn't apply to the Tesla Cybertruck, whose sales are soaring despite a six-figure price tag. It seems that for a certain type of buyer, the Cybertruck's brutal, sci-fi appeal will be worth the price. var adpushup = window.adpushup = window.adpushup || {que:()}; adpushup.que.push(function() { if (adpushup.config.platform !== "DESKTOP"){ adpushup.triggerAd("4d84e4c9 -9937-4f84-82c0-c94544ee6f2a"); } else{ adpushup.triggerAd(" 6a782b01-facb-45f3-a88f-ddf1b1f97657"); } }); Cybertrucks added 16,692 new owners in the United States in the third quarter, making it the third most popular electric vehicle in the…
Even with rubber edges, critics still want Tesla’s Cybertruck taken off shelves
The European safety organization believes the weight, shape, size and performance of the Cybertruck raise safety concerns over individual imported examples An imported Tesla Cybertruck has been registered for road use in the Czech Republic. Campaigners say it should be removed from the streets due to its weight and size. Large U.S. vehicles often take advantage of the EU's individual approval loophole. The first batch of Tesla Cybertrucks imported from the United States to Europe have been approved for use on roads in the Czech Republic. However, security groups are not convinced of this. Despite the necessary modifications, they wrote to local authorities expressing serious concerns about the shape, weight and size of the electric trucks. Apparently, they decided that having a vehicle shaped like a giant, unyielding wedge might not be the safest option on the road. In order to gain approval as a privately imported vehicle, the Cybertruck's notoriously sharp edges were reluctantly adorned with rubber moldings in…
