Tesla says 1000 cyber trucks a week ? yet recall of every truck since Nov for the gas pedal issue sees they are not yet even averaging 200 per week facts v Elon world

[@jamespaul2587]

Recall is a simple fix with a rivet added to the accelerator pedal (there is no gas pedal) and there is no impact on new production, which is 1,000 units weekly now.

[@deanrowling372]

​@jamespaul2587 yep I know it's an easy fix I'm mearly stating the 160ish a week production which is off the actual figures provided in the total recall since November to now say in the last 4 days it's now doing 1000 per week . the recall just put the actual production numbers up so that dosent align with what's said ... like everything else that elon says ... marketing spin

[@jamespaul2587]

@deanrowling372 initial production was far lower, but apparently it's at 1,000 a week now, which seems reasonable based on drone shots showing large numbers in the parking lot ready for delivery. Actual delivery numbers will be confirmed when Q2 results are released.
