This recall, unlike most that Tesla can fix with over-the-air updates, requires owners to bring their vehicles in for a physical repair. The company does not itemize the number of vehicles sold by model in its quarterly reports, meaning that the recall offered a rare glimpse into the sales volume of Tesla CEO Elon Musk's pet project. See how the Cybertruck ranks in the turbulent electric truck market:
