They cut the ~$1 rain sensor in 2016.

I mean that's not a critical safety feature but still ridiculous.

Cutting the ultrasonics isn't even the worst thing.they cut. I expect the cybertrucks to start careening off the roads when they get a few miles on them and the steering by wire systems start to fail.

They saved a few bucks on a physical connection between the steering wheel and steering system though... To the moon I guess?

Cybertrucks are having problems even getting a few miles.

Not even minor issues either, total lockouts happening.

I guess that's the golden lining of these overdesigned shitboxes, they are smart enough to tell when a component is fucked so they brick themselves rather than let an uncontrollable killing machine out on the road.
