Cybertrucks Booed At Mardi Gras Parade In New Orleans
The Tesla Cybertruck is, without question, the dumbest looking vehicle to ever be sold to the driving public. The American people were bound to hate this thing from the very moment it was designed, but when Tesla CEO Elon Musk stepped into bed with history's most idiotic fascist coup d'etat, it became a de facto symbol of that movement. Apparently a national Cybertruck Club volunteered to run their trucks in a New Orleans Mardi Gras parade—technically a Lundi Gras as it happened on Monday night—as a way to transport parade marshals along the route. Reportedly some of the trucks used drove in from Texas for the event. In any normal car this would be seen by the locals as a pretty cool and respectable gesture helping everyone enjoy the parade festivities. In a Cybertruck, you're broadcasting your dorkiness to the gathered masses, and the already riled up crowd took out their frustrations on the Tesla kooks, shouting their boos and throwing beads "from start to evacuation." Reddit user jobles95 posted about his experience, claiming he was marshal from inside one of the trucks, saying, "I couldn't believe my eyes. I knew it was going to be bad, but holy sh*t."
Apparently the trucks did not leave New Orleans unscathed, either, as many parade goers threw beads and other projectiles at the trucks driving down the parade route. Again, from jobles 95, the damage included "one broken window, and one chipped pretty bad. I know they got scratched up a lot, but I don't know the full extent." I was under the impression that Cybertruck windows were capable of withstanding a gunshot, so why would a beaded necklace be enough to crack one? Huh, it sure is a mystery.

While most of the country already harbors animosity toward the giant electric rolling dumpster, it's possible that New Orleanians may carry a little more hate for Cybertrucks than most. You may recall that a terrorist drove his truck into a crowd in New Orleans back in January, killing 15. While the vehicle used for that attack was not a Cybertruck, a potentially linked Las Vegas terrorist did use a Cybertruck for his explosive plot. These trucks, whether intended or not, have become symbolic of the rot in American society. If you're driving your Cybertruck out in public, you can expect at least some of that symbol to rub off on you as a person. As tensions between Americans and Elon Musk deepen, frustrations may be taken out on you as well. Obviously we wouldn't condone attacks against vehicle or person, but the odd harmless middle finger wouldn't go unwarranted.

Video shows Tesla robotaxi on the streets of Austin without a human driver
A Tesla robotaxi driving without a human behind the wheel has been spotted on the streets of Austin, Texas, according to a video posted on X on Tuesday and reshared by Tesla CEO Elon Musk, as the company prepares to launch a highly anticipated robotaxi service as soon as this week. The 10-second video showed the Tesla slowly turning left off an avenue in the state capital, as two pedestrians walk in a crosswalk just ahead. No one appeared to be in the driver's seat, but someone appeared to be in the front passenger's seat, while the rear windows were tinted. On the vehicle's side was a logo with the word 'Robotaxi.' The video appeared to be the first confirmation of Musk's statement last month that Tesla had begun testing cars on Austin public streets with no one in the driver's seat. Musk reshared the video Tuesday on X, writing: 'Beautifully simple design.' Tesla did not immediately respond to a request for comment on the video. The account that posted the video did not immediately respond to a request for more information. Tesla is scheduled to launch its service as soon as Thursday, according to Bloomberg News. Tesla is trying to compete with Google spinoff Waymo, which has been steadily growing its robotaxi service in four cities so far: Austin, Los Angeles, Phoenix and San Francisco. The service is similar to ride-hailing apps such as Uber or Lyft but without a human behind the wheel. A year ago, Waymo made its service available to anyone in San Francisco who has its app. Three other tech startups are testing autonomous vehicles in Austin, according to a city government website: Zoox, a subsidiary of Amazon; Volkswagen ADMT; and AVRide, a spinoff of Yandex. Tesla's service will be tiny at first, starting with possibly 10 vehicles in its first week, Musk told CNBC in an interview last month. Musk predicted Tuesday, though, that autonomous cars would soon become very common. 'The streets will change very rapidly,' he posted on X. Musk is relying on the planned robotaxi service to try to turn Tesla around. The electric automaker's sales have faltered over the past year as Musk veered into politics and supported President Donald Trump's return to the White House, angering many Tesla owners. Tesla said its profits fell 71% during the first three months of the year. Responding to a question from a user on X, Musk said that the software in the robotaxi test vehicles is new and not the same as the software in regular Tesla vehicles. He said the software 'still requires a lot of polishing.' This article was originally published on

Tesla Had To Redesign The Cybertruck Because Engineers Couldn't Make It Amphibious Like Musk Wanted
If you want to make sure everyone immediately knows not to hang out with you, there's no better truck to buy than the Tesla Cybertruck. If you want something that does regular truck stuff, though, you probably want to look elsewhere. Since the Cybertruck went on sale, it's been recalled eight times, for everything from body panels that fly off to unintended acceleration, and it also infamously may not survive a car wash. But how did we get from Tesla promising a go-anywhere, conquer-any-terrain truck to the current disaster? According to the Wall Street Journal, it's because the initial design was scrapped, and the final design was rushed. It would have probably helped if there had been a clear, final design brief that outlined specific goals for engineers to achieve, but instead, Musk preferred to randomly tweet about new features the Cybertruck would have. The engineering team reportedly took those tweets seriously and attempted to deliver everything Musk promised online, including the part where he claimed it would be amphibious, but when that ended up being too hard, the engineers were forced to give up and start over in an attempt to deliver something Cybertruck-shaped: Former employees said they took Musk's social posts as orders, but the engineering proved difficult. By 2022, it was clear internally that Cybertruck wouldn't be able to meet all Musk's criteria, so engineers scrapped an early design and started over—developing a smaller, landlocked version of the truck, the people said. So much for the supposed late-2021 production start that we were initially promised. Read more: Buy One Of These Electric Pickup Trucks Instead Of Humiliating Yourself With A Tesla Cybertruck With only about a year and a half to reportedly develop and test the production version of the Cybertruck, it isn't exactly surprising that problems soon appeared. But while Tesla blamed the truck's unintended acceleration issue on "[a]n unapproved change introduced lubricant (soap) to aid in the component assembly of the pad onto the accelerator pedal," one source told the WSJ the company already knew it was an issue and simply didn't fix it before starting production: An internal investigation found the issue was the result of an "unapproved change," in which Tesla employees used soap as a lubricant to attach the pad, according to the recall notice. Inside Tesla, the accelerator pad had been a known issue starting with the prototype, according to an employee who worked on the part. The manufacturing team also identified the part as problematic, this person said. The windshield and its massive single wiper also quickly caused problems, as the glass would sometimes show up from the supplier already cracked or crack during handling at the factory. As for the giant windshield wiper, it also proved to be too big for the motor they used, leading to another recall. According to the WSJ, the problem with the wiper was already a known issue, but production began before they fixed it, even though that wasn't supposed to happen: The wiper had been flagged nearly a year before, two people who worked on the Cybertruck said. It was one of the first issues identified on the vehicles, at which point it was classified as a "gating issue," which meant that it needed to be resolved before production could move forward. Had the Tesla Cybertruck been a huge hit, you could have perhaps made the argument that Musk's decision to put it into production before all the problems had been fixed was at least a good business decision. The truck reportedly had more than a million pre-orders, and with other electric trucks already on sale, maybe risking customers' lives with a little unintended acceleration would have been worth the risk of a lawsuit. Except the actual orders never actually appeared. The company just couldn't convert pre-orders into actual orders, and when Tesla issued its eighth recall for the Cybertruck, it had been on sale for more than a year, but Tesla had only sold about 46,000 of them. Maybe Tesla shouldn't have set up the production line to allegedly produce 250,000 Cybertrucks per year, or perhaps it should have actually fixed all the problems it knew already existed. Regardless, even with big discounts, unsold Cybertrucks quickly began piling up, forcing Tesla to find places to store its unwanted inventory. Then again, the biggest issue with Cybertruck sales probably wasn't the quality of the truck itself. It was the part where Musk decided to jump into politics, spouting toxic, ultra-far-right views that killed a whole lot of people's interest in Tesla as a brand. Musk's alliance with Republicans also appears to have blown up in his face recently, although Musk could still find a way to worm his way back into Trump's good graces. You never know. Trump could eventually need someone to help ensure more babies get HIV. Want more like this? Join the Jalopnik newsletter to get the latest auto news sent straight to your inbox...

GM to invest $4 billion in U.S. factories as tariffs mount and EVs slow
General Motors is investing $4 billion to produce more gasoline vehicles in the U.S. to cope with the twin challenges of high tariffs and low demand for electric vehicles. Why it matters: The plan — which includes shifting some production from Mexico — will no doubt be viewed as a win for President Trump's tariff policies. But there's also a practical reason: if GM can avoid tariffs by building more cars in the U.S., it might as well build ones it knows it can sell. Driving the news: GM is adding production at plants in Michigan, Kansas and Tennessee beginning in 2027 GM's Orion Assembly plant near Detroit will be retooled to produce gas-powered full-size SUVs and pickups, scrapping an earlier plan to build electric pickups there. To meet strong demand for its gas-powered Chevrolet Equinox, GM is also adding production at its Fairfax Assembly plant near Kansas City, a portion of which is moving from Mexico. GM is also moving production of the gas-powered Chevrolet Blazer from Mexico to its Spring Hill, Tennessee, plant. What they're saying: "We believe the future of transportation will be driven by American innovation and manufacturing expertise," GM CEO Mary Barra said in a release. "Today's announcement demonstrates our ongoing commitment to build vehicles in the U.S and to support American jobs. We're focused on giving customers choice and offering a broad range of vehicles they love." Between the lines: Under Barra, GM bet heavily on electric vehicles, but sales have been slower than expected. The manufacturing moves allow the carmaker to expand production of high-profit vehicles most in demand — gas-powered trucks and SUVs — while leveraging excess U.S. factory capacity to avoid tariffs. GM said it will continue to produce battery-electric versions of the Equinox and Blazer in Mexico. It will also build some gasoline-powered Equinox vehicles in Mexico for non-U.S. markets. What to watch: GM said it is on track to begin production of the 2027 Chevrolet Bolt EV in Fairfax by the end of this year.
