Tesla recalls its Cybertruck for the fifth time in less than a year

Tesla is recalling 27,185 Cybertruck vehicles because of visibility problems with their rearview camera. It is the fifth recall for the stainless steel electric pickup truck since it first hit the road at the end of 2023.
The reason for the recall is a software issue involving the affected trucks' rearview display screen, which may remain blank for up to eight seconds after a driver shifts into reverse, Tesla disclosed in a filing with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA). The U.S. requires rearview screens to activate within two seconds of shifting into reverse.
"A delayed rearview image reduces the driver's view of what is behind the vehicle, increasing the risk of a crash," the company stated in the notice.
In 2023, more than 12 million BB and pellet guns were bought in the United States. Many have roughly the same weight, markings and finishes as real guns. But these look-alike replica guns aren't federally required to have any clear indicators that they don't shoot bullets. In most states they are available for adults to purchase without background checks or restrictions.
High housing costs are a serious pain point for millions of Americans, with many shut out of the real estate market by record-high home prices and others plagued by spiraling rents. During Tuesday's vice presidential debate, Sen. JD Vance pointed to what he views as a major cause of the affordability crisis: immigration.
