I'm not an electric car fan at all, but recalls happen all the time. The cyber truck is something entirely new so I wouldn't expect something like that to just be flawless.
It is beyond mere flaws. The thing is idiotic and an abomination.

To do draw a parallel, some of Apple's early and risky products, like the original Mac and Newton (to name a few) were sneered at, their innovations (though somewhat half baked) ridiculed, with especially the Newton becoming a national punchline.

Apple was, and continues to boldly innovate, damned the peanut gallery. The learnings from Newton beget the iPhone and iPad. The Mac went to become one of their strongest products.

I applaud Elon and the Tesla team for taking bold bets and innovating.

(Full disclosure, I was one of the early adopters of both the Newton and Mac 128K)

Anyone claiming the Cybertruck as a failure so soon is just looking for clicks. They market will tell us if they care about this.
