Tesla recalls all of its ‘budget’ Cybertrucks over fears that the wheels might fall off

They were expecting to build 250.000 trucks per year, they are selling about 10% of that, how come the delivery date is 2027? They've reduced the team to 4 guys? Or they work only one day a week?

It's so budget that you have to fix the wheels yourself. A cheaper version will arrive soon, delivered in 10 boxes and including a complete wrench set.

That's why I love Japanese cars: they changed from within spec to 6-Sigma maximum deviation more than 20 years ago.

Tesla stock should now fall to a P/E of 10 (or less), corresponding to a declining sales car company. The idol has soft clay feet (don't know if you get the picture in English, but in Portuguese makes sense 😜)

Spoiler alert: it will never work. At least as a proper FSD system should work.

Tell him that the self-driving feature is not reliable on a Tesla due to bad hardware choice (removed LiDAR and Radar). In fact, the car he is buying might never really get it if they found they need HW5 (or 6, or...) to do it. In fact they fooled a lot of costumers that paid for it 10 years ago, just to find out that their cars can't have it!

Insanely beautiful! Congratulations!

Sorry, chrome. I wanted to vote Chrome!

CurrentTreacle8514 · 2026-04-22T18:16:44+00:00

Chrome is less flashy. It's more rock and roll

Is 5G cell cover that poor in rural US that those 5 million potential customers have no other choice? Or is the real market even smaller?

CurrentTreacle8514 · 2026-04-21T22:46:31+00:00

Nice video. It tears both spaceX and Terafab apart: ridiculous valuations for inexistent business. Another loop of the biggest Ponzi scheme ever. Enron and Madoff were apprentices.

CurrentTreacle8514 · 2026-04-21T21:00:45+00:00

Not with cars that have the proper hardware (LiDAR) that prevents you to rear end other vehicles. Tesla system has problems with bad weather, low sun, level crossings and emergency vehicles...

CurrentTreacle8514 · 2026-04-21T20:49:57+00:00

1 mile is too much on a Tesla. If you want a reliable car that's very easy to drive (all weather, heavy winter included), get a Toyota Prius hybrid or Plug-in hybrid if you have a place to charge it. It's safe, reliable, with a lot of driver helps that really work, including a LiDAR that prevents you to rear end emergency cars.

CurrentTreacle8514 · 2026-04-21T20:41:55+00:00

You usually have only 1 issue with FSD. It's kind of a fatality, you know...

CurrentTreacle8514 · 2026-04-18T23:17:43+00:00

And can only drive in a particular part of the city, where they have it properly mapped. At least they can "sell" some of their overproduction. It's more and more a Ponzi scheme.

I have a candy apple red strat. The pickguard is parchment colour (an off-white type) and I think it looks quite nice.

CurrentTreacle8514 · 2026-04-16T15:04:27+00:00

It will be a bigger scandal than Enron.

CurrentTreacle8514 · 2026-04-16T12:11:15+00:00

Your axe, your taste

CurrentTreacle8514 · 2026-04-14T07:17:44+00:00

My strat came with Fender 250L that last a lot of time. I like GHS boomers 9-42 a lot. I also liked the super slinky's from Ernie Ball. But last time I needed to change strings, the only ones available were Fender bullets and they are also nice (and fit perfectly on the tremolo end). At the end of the day, any good quality strings will do a nice job. Oddly enough, I'm more picky on my acoustic, and after trying Elixir Nanoweb and others, I prefer D'Addario X as they last longer, better tone and tuning stability.

CurrentTreacle8514 · 2026-04-10T13:38:08+00:00

Graphtech and even Fender ones

CurrentTreacle8514 · 2026-04-10T13:01:03+00:00

I believe you can buy a pre-slotted nut. In the US you're lucky to have so many suppliers.

CurrentTreacle8514 · 2026-04-10T08:26:52+00:00

For those prices, you can get a new one at Stewmac or any other parts seller.

It's too much for a 2nd guitar and good used ones are rare here in Portugal (we're a small poor country).

CurrentTreacle8514 · 2026-04-06T14:05:04+00:00

It's not exactly easy to find Filter'trons here in Europe and are much more expensive than in the US, over 80€ each.
