One Who Walks Among the Dead: Rivian has actual cyber-trucks, aesthetically speaking. You put one of those in the game CyberPunk 2077, and you wouldn't even think twice about it being there.

The Cybertruck was released on Nov. 30. Today, Tesla announced it was recalling the vehicle for the fourth time, an impressive rough average of one recall every seven weeks. apnews.com/article/tesl...

For Tesla's futuristic new Cybertruck, a fourth recallapnews.com Tesla is recalling its futuristic new Cybertruck pickup for the fourth time in the U.S. to fix problems with trim pieces that can come loose, and failing front windshield wipers.

They gotta stop calling it “futuristic”. It’s just dorky and poorly designed both aesthetically and functionally.

According to the consumer reports survey someone else linked upthread, Rivian is even less reliable than Tesla. www.consumerreports.org/cars/car-rel...

Who Makes the Most Reliable New Cars? via @ConsumerReportswww.consumerreports.org To determine who makes the most reliable new cars, Consumer Reports' latest car reliability survey ranks the brands and reveals how regions compare.

I don't know how I feel about that. It sounds like they blended waaaaay too many variables together to try and crap out a single number that ultimately is meaningless without a lot of context. Like "the score is 50". Uh, okay? And they blend self-submitted surveys with hard data.

I do not like when people try way too hard to make some singular arbitrary designation of an incredibly nebulous concept like "reliability". If this was simply measured in terms of "problem requiring dedicated maintenance" rate, or cost of ownership per mile driven, that would make more sense.

FWIW, those rankings are from last year and don't include the dumpster on wheels.
