Cybertruck buyers get auto delivery delayed a week because of windscreen wiper problems
Tesla has announced a temporary suspension of deliveries of its newest electric pickup truck, the Cybertruck. The reason for the delay was a problem with the windscreen wiper, which was detected in some vehicles immediately after their delivery to owners.
Here's What We Know
Information about the delay was circulated to customers who were expecting to receive their vehicles this week. Earlier this year, the company had already faced a recall earlier this year due to defective accelerator pedals that could get stuck. Back then, the problem affected about 3,878 vehicles. However, the current problem with the windscreen wiper motor has sparked a new wave of concern among owners and potential buyers.
Users of the Cybertruck Owners Club forum and Reddit have shared that they have received notifications that the delivery date has been pushed back by a week. Despite the lack of official confirmation of the malfunction from Tesla and a public recall, the reports have sparked discussion online. Owners who have experienced the malfunction are reporting windscreen wiper failure shortly after receiving their vehicle.
Tesla is taking steps to fix the problem and deliveries are expected to resume once the necessary fixes are made. This development underscores the importance of quality control and safety in the car manufacturing process.
