My car (Kia Niro) has keyless entry and pushbutton starting, but it also still has a manual method of entry and proper handle that doesn't need power to open. It doesn't get frozen over, either... Having one doesn't preclude the other, except when designed by people who don't care about safety.

Honest question Doc, but have you ever just accepted that you are incorrect about something? I swear, the last 10+ years on Neowin, I have never seen you just admit "yup, youre right I was wrong on that one." Nope, instead you dig yourself into hole after hole and just look like a complete imbecile.

Next, the time it takes to search for the URL for the manual and then search for the specific section while under panic would be a nightmare. IMHO at least one car door should be required to have a key to unlock. +Matthew S., +Warwagon, Dick Montage and 1 other 2 2 Share Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/1389505-tesla-cybertruck/page/22/#findComment-598911921 Share on other sites More sharing options...

wakjak Posted June 25 Share Posted June 25 On 25/06/2024 at 11:24, primortal said: Oh **** off. Next you're going to tell me that the windshield wiper will just stop working. Impossible. This truck is the best designed truck ever created.... https://mashable.com/article/tesla-cybertruck-wiper-recall Quote Remember Tesla Cybertruck's oversized windshield wiper? The one that appears too large to exist, at least not without malfunctioning in some way? Well, it turns out that it is. Tesla just issued a recall for over 11,000 Cybertrucks over a windshield wiper issue. The recall includes all model year 2024 Cybertruck vehicles manufactured from Nov. 13, 2023, to June 6, 2024, which is pretty much all of them given that the Cybertruck deliveries started in Nov. 2023. "On affected vehicles, the front windshield wiper motor controller may stop functioning due to electrical overstress to the gate driver component," the recall report says. "A non-functioning windshield wiper may reduce visibility in certain operating conditions, which may increase the risk of a collision." SEE ALSO: Cybertruck buyers are reporting delivery delays due to windshield wiper issue The report also said that Tesla is not aware of any collisions, injuries, or deaths relating to the issue. For Cybertruck owners, this means that they'll have to take their car to a Tesla service center and get the windshield wiper motor replaced. The Cybertruck's oversized windshield gained notoriety even before the car itself launched with spy shots revealing just how oddly huge it is (compared to any other car's wiper). Tesla CEO Elon Musk also said that the wiper is a big trouble for the car's development, noting that there's "no easy solution" for it. GAHHD DAMNIT!
