Tesla temporarily halted deliveries and recalled every single Cybertruck after a viral video showed how the pad on its accelerator pedal could slip off and get stuck in the interior trim, leaving the pedal depressed "down 100 percent, full throttle." Now, video from a Tesla event in California taken today and Tesla's own documentation confirm the riveting installation that secures the pad with a rivet, and they show us exactly how it's done.

While Aaron Cash's video posted to X says it's a "35 second recall fix," demonstrated at the "Cyber Takeover" event in Long Beach, the video starts with the required drilling jig already in place.

After Reddit user boddhya posted two pictures of a Cybertruck accident, the California Highway Patrol confirmed to The Verge that units responded to a two-vehicle accident on SR 35 (Skyline Boulevard). It occurred in this area south of Page Mill Road, which Google Maps lists as Palo Alto, around 2:05PM local time and involved a 2023 Tesla Cybertruck carrying three people that appears to have been hit by a 2009 Toyota Corolla driven by a 17-year-old.

Tesla's Cybertruck delivery event raised questions about the design and what would occur in an impact with other cars or pedestrians. Fortunately, it doesn't appear that anyone involved in this …

The Verge, your source for Tesla Cybertruck windshield wiper news, is unreasonably happy to potentially reveal: a Cybertruck windshield wiper replacement may cost as little as $165 for the entire arm and blade assembly, or $75 for just the wiper blade itself.

That's the word from Tesla watcher Nic Cruz Patane, who, like all good windshield wiper enthusiasts, has seemingly been paging through the Tesla parts catalog for the Cybertruck but, unlike the rest of us, seemingly has access to prices for each part. We can see the same page, without prices, and it appears to be one single wiper blade after all.

The Cybertruck's entire windshield wil …

Now that the first few customers have taken delivery of their Tesla Cybertrucks, it's probably worth taking a closer look at how the price and specs have changed since the original announcement in 2019. After all, a lot has happened since then!

While the truck looks remarkably similar to how it did four years ago, almost nothing else about the production versions is the same. The price, range, and performance have all shifted dramatically - and probably not in the direction most customers would prefer.

First of all, the price is more expensive. We've known for a while that Tesla wasn't going to be able to keep …

The Cybertruck is here - for real this time - and for those who haven't reserved one already, Tesla has a new ordering process. Today, you can preorder the visually perplexing, low-poly pickup truck on Tesla's website with a refundable deposit of $250.

A small batch of early preorder holders took delivery of the first production Cybertruck models at an event in Texas. Since reservations went up on Tesla's website in 2019, the automaker happily accepted $100 deposits to get in line to buy a non-configured Cybertruck model. During the last earnings call, Tesla CEO Elon Musk confirmed there were over 1 million preorders.

For a short while ear …

Tesla announced a new "Powershare" vehicle-to-load charging capability, only available on the new Cybertruck.

The feature will allow Cybertruck owners to power their camping equipment, power tools, or even their entire home during a blackout, just by using their electric truck as a mobile generator. The truck also features a 240-volt outlet in the rear bed that can be used to charge other EVs. An image on Tesla's website shows the Cybertruck charging a Model Y.

The Cybertruck can put out as much as 11.5kW, which is more than the Ford F-150 Lightning's 9.6kW of onboard power or the GMC Sierra Denali EV's 10.2kW.

Four years after its debut, the Tesla Cybertruck has finally reached its first batch of customers. The truck was delivered to about a dozen people during a lavish event at the company's headquarters in Austin, Texas, at which Elon Musk predicted the truck would usher in a new, more exciting future.

The company also provided updated details about the pricing, range, and features for the truck, much of which has changed significantly from the originally announced numbers. The rear-wheel drive version of the electric truck will start at $60,990 - up from the original price of $39,900 in 2019 - and will get 250 miles of range on a full charge. …

Tesla is about to deliver the first Cybertrucks to buyers at an event on Thursday, November 30th, starting around 3PM ET / 2PM CT / 12PM PT in Austin, Texas.

The electric pickup truck, with a jarringly polygonal design, was first revealed in November 2019 by Tesla CEO Elon Musk. The Cybertruck's unique design helped it make its mark, and many people immediately plunked down $100 to hold a place in line to get one. Even the botched "armor glass" demonstration, in which Tesla's lead designer smashed the driver's side window with a metal ball, did little to deter interest.

Little did the reservation holders know that key Cybertruck targets wo …

Sure, some influencers get to drive the Tesla Cybertruck before anyone else, and that's fine for them. But I'm happier here, stuck behind a rope at a Manhattan showroom, squinting at a very large windshield wiper because my boss has developed an unnatural fascination with it.

I tell Nilay I won't try to grab the windshield wiper to confirm his theory that it is actually two (or even three) windshield wipers stacked on top of each other. I don't want to get arrested for assaulting the Cybertruck. Nilay promises to bail me out if it came to it, but despite these assurances, I chicken out.

Thanks to Reddit, I recently discovered the Cybertruc …
