why? its very hard to differentiate the two right now. just go buy a Ford EV instead

Yeah, it's kind of nuts how big a deal some commenters here are making over a 7-day pause in deliveries (apparently) due to a difficult to foresee but trivially fixed safety issue with the cover plate on the gas petal, that has so far lead to 0 accidents (as far as we know).

Like, sure, it's not good. But the top-rated comments acting like this is a sign of some larger issue with Tesla's engineering culture or saying things like "The Cybertruck is doomed" are farcical in this context. I get recall notices for similar issues in my non-Tesla vehicles on a regular (~once every few years) basis. Its very clear such comments are motivated by factors unrelated to the article itself.
