Huh, I wasn't even aware these were out in the wild yet...

Oh, wait!

"Toyota would recall its first mass-produced EVs -- 260 for the United States."

Wonder what the fix is? Red LocTite? I'm glad they caught it quickly.

Subaru is also recalling the Solterra, which is just a rebadged Toyota Busy Forks, anyway.

And only 260 Toyotas for the U.S. market. Wow. I guess this might tell us something about how seriously Toyota is taking the EV market.

The Bz4x is the car that made me start to explore the EV marked. Ended up thinking ID.4 Gtx hopefully is a bether choice.

Nothing uncommon if they rolled same part hubs for ICE vehicle's on EV where thread pitch is the reason for getting loose. New studs and nuts with different thread pitch is remedy for fixing this issue. This is common problem when people who are employed to find cutting on the expenses or reusing existing parts bin as much as possible for new models. EV vehicle's are quite more heavy than ICE.

At least the wheels won't fall off . . . . 🤣

Or the roof top tent. I think any other BEV besides the VW ID.4 would peel like a sardine can at 90 mph!
