    > The issue stems from the brake rotors, and the report says more severe road conditions "may strain" the stud holes in the wheel rotor, causing cracks to form. If the cracks persist and worsen, it may result in the wheel detaching entirely.

    > In a recent off-road escapade at the King of the Hammers event in Johnson Valley, California, a Tesla Cybertruck experienced a mechanical failure resulting in one of its wheels snapping off. The incident, captured over the weekend, has raised eyebrows about the durability of Tesla's much-touted electric truck.

I can't remember the specific video, but I recall seeing someone breakdown some of the poor materials/engineering choices for "truck" use cases and of the mass of the CT.

  • Read the recall link:

        > If the cracks persist and worsen, it may result in the wheel detaching entirely.
        > 
        > ...engineers determined that continued use under strain could eventually lead to separation of the wheel stud from the hub.
    

    Watch the YT video.

    Telsa made bad engineering choices on this vehicle. There's no point defending it.

    Is it because your world view fractures with a fallible Musk?
