More than 27,000 units of Tesla Cybertruck have been recalled because of the delayed display of the rearview camera, which could lower driver visibility and increase chances of an accident.

The recall, announced via the agency last October 3, is the largest for Tesla so far with the electric truck model.

It affects Cybertrucks built from November 13, 2023, through September 14, 2024, in which the rearview camera will take up to eight seconds to appear after shifting into reverse, much longer than the two-second standard that US National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) requires.

The problem arises where a car system is not in a position to fully shut down in time in order to boot up when the car flips into reverse, causing an occasional delay on the display.

The company, Tesla, found this at the beginning of September 2024 and had finished working on the software update for vehicles already in production.

This is the fifth recall Tesla has had to issue for the Cybertruck model since deliveries began at the end of 2023.

Other earlier recalls included problems with loose accelerator pedal pads and windshield wipers, as well as external trim.
The futuristic and Blade Runner-like Cybertruck is still in high demand on the part of buyers, as it represents Tesla's attempt to revive its lineup amidst declining demand for electric vehicles.

The electric truck was launched in November 2023 after waiting for quite two years finally. What with the type of investment Tesla has put into it, investors have watched closely enough.

The company assured owners a simple over-the-air update to software for which it says will correct the rearview camera issue to ensure future driving experiences meet all safety guidelines.

Tesla said in a statement on September 25, 2024, that the company has not received any reports of crashes, injuries, or fatalities.

Tesla Cybertruck owners are complaining about premature tire wear, raising questions about weight of the vehicle

Last month, owners of Tesla Cybertruck were complaining about rough tire wear after driving just 6,000 miles.

He noted that the tread on the front tires was only 4/32, while the rear tires indicated 5/32, far below the standard new tread depth of 10/32 or 11/32.

According to industry standard published at TireRack.com, tires may be considered worn out when they indicate 2/32 of an inch and are advised to be replaced once the tread depth reaches 4/32 or 5/32 in adverse conditions.

The Cybertruck currently relies on Pirelli Scorpion ATR all-season tyres or Goodyear Wrangler Territory RT all-terrain tyres. These tyres have been associated with similar premature wear issues in other electric vehicles, like Rivian, where the weight of the vehicle and alignment are said to be causing tire wear.

It is only while Tesla's Chill Mode does indeed limit acceleration that it is the weight of this nearly 7,000 pound Cybertruck which seems the biggest aggressor.

Two drivers who at no point ventured offroad and used the high-performance Beast Mode rarely said the tires were wearing faster than they would have expected.
