NASA puts astronauts’ lives in the hands of Tesla’s flaky Cybertruck

NASA is using Tesla's Cybertruck for astronaut rescue missions despite the vehicle having 11 recalls for defects like falling trim panels and stuck accelerator pedals. The Cybertruck will replace heavily armored MRAPs used for rapid launchpad evacuations, with NASA citing speed and ease of use as advantages. The decision was announced during a discussion about the SpaceX Crew-13 mission to the International Space Station.
