Tesla's troubled Cybertruck appears to have hit yet another speed bump. Over the weekend, dozens of waiting customers reported that their impending deliveries had been canceled due to "an unexpected delay regarding the preparation of your vehicle."
Tesla has not announced an official stop sale or recall, and as of now, the reason for the suspended deliveries is unknown. But it's possible the electric pickup truck has a problem with its accelerator.
Tesla has been accused of making cars that have sudden unintended acceleration problems. In 2017, the company was the subject of a class-action lawsuit based on at least 23 accounts of Tesla Models S and X suffering from this problem. Tesla vehemently denied any such problem, and in 2020, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration declined to investigate.

Electric vehicles are few and far between in the desert at King of the Hammers, a weeks-long off-roading event that often looks more like Burning Man than motorsport. Almost all EVs can be found at the Optima Oasis, a not-so-literal oasis of solar and hydrogen-powered chargers that the battery company erected smack-dab in the middle of nowhere for the past two years.
King of the Hammers takes place in Johnson Valley Off-Highway Vehicle Area, the nation's largest OHV space by sheer acreage. But the vast expanse, about 100 miles as the crow flies from downtown Los Angeles, turns into a thriving metropolis once a year when a makeshift city dubbed "Hammertown" draws tens of thousands of four-wheeling enthusiasts to the sand and rocks.
I went to check out the festivities—especially the event's EV-focused Unplugged rally.

Elon Musk vient de présenter la version 2023 du CyberTruck. Le premier pick-up électrique de la marque a un prix et une date de sortie.

On Thursday afternoon, Tesla delivered the first 10 production Cybertrucks to customers at an event livestreamed on X, Tesla CEO Elon Musk's social media network. A demo video featured shots of the Cybertruck negotiating barren wildernesses, including one that was meant to look like Mars. Musk, who has mostly made headlines in recent weeks for endorsing virulent antisemtitic theories on his social media platform , took to the stage almost half an hour late, initially delivering his presentation from the back of a truck with his face hidden in shadow.
Musk claimed the Cybertruck is better than any other truck but also more of a sports car than any other sports car, made of a "special Tesla designed steel alloy" that he claimed will never rust and which cannot be stamped but which can also be produced in volume.
Mindful of the window-breaking debacle during the truck's debut in 2019 , Tesla designer Franz von Holzhausen came on stage to throw baseballs at its windows. Unlike last time (when presenters used metal balls), the allegedly bulletproof glass did not shatter. Musk made a point of the fact that in a crash with another vehicle, the Cybertruck—which weighs 6,603–6,843 lbs (2,995–3,104 kg)—will destroy the other vehicle.
La nouvelle politique de Tesla concernant la revente de son très attendu Cybertruck ne plaira pas à tout le monde. Ces nouvelles règles limitent en effet la revente du gros véhicule pendant la première année suivant sa livraison. Elles interviennent alors que la demande pour ce pick-up électrique dépasse largement la capacité de production de l'entreprise.
Attendu avec impatience par les amateurs de (grosses) automobiles électriques, le Cybertruck de Tesla pose déjà des problèmes avec la législation routière en France. Les simples détenteurs du permis B ne pourront pas conduire ce véhicule sur le territoire hexagonal !
