Tesla is recalling the Cybertruck once more, nevertheless it’s one other over-the-air software program replace repair, so it’s no massive deal. However what it does is reveal what number of Cybertrucks Tesla has produced thus far.
The Cybertruck has been in manufacturing for nearly a yr now and Tesla has but to share formally what number of it produced or delivered.
Tesla simply launched its Q3 manufacturing and supply outcomes, however the automaker is probably the most opaque in the whole business in the case of revealing supply per mannequin. It bundles Mannequin 3 and Mannequin Y gross sales collectively after which all different automobiles, Mannequin S, Mannequin X, Cybertruck, and Tesla Semi, all in the identical class.
Nevertheless, in the case of Cybertruck, we’ve been capable of monitor loosely its supply progress due to a collection of 4 recollects.
The final one got here in late June and revealed that Tesla had delivered about 11,000 Cybertrucks thus far.
Now, Tesla is issuing a brand new recall for the Cybertruck referring to an issue with rear-view digital camera:
On sure affected automobiles, underneath sure circumstances, the automobile system (together with the rearview picture) might not full a shutdown course of earlier than the system is commanded to boot-up. If the motive force begins a backing occasion earlier than the automobile system completes its shut down and boot-up, the rearview picture might not show inside two seconds of putting the automobile in reverse as required by FMVSS 111, S6.2.3.
The repair is an over-the-air software program replace.
Due to this fact, the extra fascinating a part of the recall is the “affected inhabitants”. It seems to have an effect on all Cybertrucks produced as much as mid-September:
The topic inhabitants contains sure Mannequin 12 months (MY) 2024 Cybertruck automobiles manufactured between November 13, 2023, and September 14, 2024, which might be or have been working with a selected software program logic for low voltage {hardware}.
Tesla says that 27,185 automobiles are affected.
Once more, by the tip of June, Tesla had produced 11,000 Cybertrucks. Yesterday, Tesla reported having delivered 22,915 “different automobiles”, which embody the Cybertruck.
Electrek’s Take
With only some weeks left in Q3, by the point it was at 27,000, it’s doubtless Tesla had round 30,000 Cybertrucks by the tip of the quarter and 11,000 by the tip of June.
It signifies that doubtless greater than half of the ~23,000 “different automobiles” Tesla delivered in Q3 have been Cybertrucks.
That’s not wanting good for Mannequin S and Mannequin X.
As for Cybertruck, I additionally thought it could be increased now that it’s nearly a yr into manufacturing.
