Kim Kardashian Continues Promoting $60,000 Cybertruck Despite Mass Recall

Highlights

• Kim Kardashian's support for the controversial Cybertruck hasn't impressed fans amid safety concerns and recent recalls.
• Critics question the safety and reliability of Elon Musk's Cybertruck design, leading to a decline in sales.
• Despite public skepticism, Kim Kardashian continues to showcase her $2 million car collection, including the Cybertruck, on Instagram.

Fans aren’t impressed that Kim Kardashian continues to support the controversial Cybertruck, valued at $60,000, even though thousands of models were recently recalled due to safety concerns.

The reality star posted a series of photos to Instagram featuring herself posing next to the futuristic vehicle. Kim kept her platinum hair down, dressing herself in an all-black outfit consisting of a sequin top and leggings, which matched the dark color of her Cybertruck, pictured in the background.

While Kim’s post may have seemed innocent, it led to a series of critical comments from followers who weren’t happy to see her advertising the car, given the various troubles they’ve had since making it to market.

Last month, thousands of Cybertrucks were recalled after the accelerator was found to be defective, as it would become stuck when pressed, increasing the likelihood of a car accident. The defect requires owners to bring the truck into a physical location to get the necessary repairs.

Elon Musk's Cybertruck, which debuted in 2019, has garnered attention for its expansive design, boasting ample cargo space and towing capacity. Its stainless-steel exoskeleton and armored glass promise durability and resistance to damage. Musk touts its electric powertrain as a leap forward in sustainability, offering an eco-friendly alternative to traditional trucks.

However, criticisms have been plentiful. The angular design has drawn mixed reviews, with some questioning its aesthetic appeal. Safety concerns have been raised, particularly regarding the durability of the glass and the potential for accidents due to its unconventional shape. Critics also highlight challenges in maneuverability and accessibility in urban environments.

Now, with the recent recall, the public is questioning the safety and reliability of Cybertrucks even more, which likely explains why Musk’s company has seen a decline in their sales.

In general, there’s been a reduction in the sale of electric vehicles worldwide, not just Tesla models. This led Tesla to recently announce its intentions to terminate over 10 percent of its global workforce, totaling approximately 14,000 employees.

Despite the safety concerns around Cybertrucks, Kim clearly isn’t letting it stop her from enjoying her ride, at least for the sake of a photo, as her recent Instagram post proves. With a car collection worth over $2 million, Kim has a lot of rides to choose from, so she may keep some just for the photo ops, as she seemingly does with the Cybertruck.
