6 h. ago Here's how many Tesla Cybertrucks were sold in Canada before massive recall

Transport Canada finally acknowledged the Tesla Cybertuck recall, and through it, we've learned that Elon Musk's boxy truck hasn't sold that well in Canada.The recall notice mentions that 1,995 Cybertrucks have been affected, so there is a slim chance that Tesla has sold six more to get over the 2,000 unit hump since the end of February when this recall was first issued. Tesla's website says that all trucks manufactured between Nov 13, 2024, and Feb 27, 2025, are part of the recall.In case you missed it, the American auto company needed to recall all the Cybertrucks because it glued on portions of the metal trim. The glue was failing, resulting in the trim coming off. Tesla is replacing the glue with a stronger adhesive and a couple of screws, so the problem is easily fixable.In the U.S., Tesla recalled 46,000 Cybertrucks, so it does appear to be selling better down south. In Canada, it costs $114,000 or more, depending on the trim options.In other Tesla news,&nb...

2 w. ago Toronto man 'blindsided' after company quietly hands franchise over to new owner

The owner of one Toronto restaurant location was shocked to find himself locked out of his business after his parent company quietly handed it over to someone new, he claims.For the past 13 years, Allen, a Toronto resident and owner of three different sushi restaurants in the city, has proudly owned and operated the Sushi Shop location in Union Station, but, he tells blogTO, it all came crashing down earlier this week."[On the morning of March 18,] I arrived at my store as I had done every day for 13 years, but this time  I wasn’t allowed in," Allen claims. "The locks had been changed. My business, my livelihood, my existence had been taken from me overnight."Allen tells blogTO that he was ultimately "blindsided" to show up for work and find that MTY, the parent company of Sushi Shop and a number of other quick-service food companies in Canada, had, apparently without his knowledge, sold the franchise to a new owner, who would be taking over the restaurant immed...

2 w. ago Every Tesla Cybertruck in U.S. recalled and Canada could be next

Tesla is recalling 46,096 Cybertrucks in the U.S. — or in other words, all the Cybertrucks it's ever sold in the States. As of the time of writing, there is no equivalent Canadian recall, but due to its widespread nature, we'd expect the recall to apply to Canadian Cybertrucks soon.The recall is over the metal trim falling off above the doors. This long metal piece is attached using a subpar adhesive that wasn't holding up to the elements. Once the trucks go in for the recall, the company is replacing the adhesive holding the metal rail onto the truck with something that can better hold up.According to Electrek, Tesla still hasn't made this fix to the Cybertruck assembly line but is hoping to implement it around March 21. These trucks won't be shipped to customers until they're fixed.Here's why so many Tesla Cybertrucks are suddenly being spotted in Torontohttps://t.co/k8JsekW5SI— blogTO (@blogTO) November 20, 2024This is the eighth recall on the Cybertruck and...
