Tesla Cybertruck owners are prepared to place up with loads to be able to personal one in every of these large vans. One true believer of the corporate lastly discovered fault within the truck’s design after the substitute for his first Cybertruck died.
It’s protected to say for those who personal a Cybertruck, you’re probably at the very least sipping the Tesla Taste-Support, however X consumer @LamarMK is chugging it. Lamar is a self proclaimed Tesla proprietor and his X bio lists his Mannequin Y. He added a Cybertruck again in March. Two weeks after taking supply his Cybertruck failed on the facet of the street, throwing every kind of error messages, as he paperwork on his YouTube channel.
He made it again residence and Tesla service got here to choose up the truck to see what’s happening with it. There have been different points he needed them to take a look at as properly, just like the windshield having what he described as a line or “wripple” in it, the driving force seat being too near the middle console and the headliner trim sagging. “Stuff occurs and we simply need to work by way of it,” Lamar says within the video. Bizarre perspective to have a few six-figure electrical pickup truck breaking after two weeks of possession, however OK.
By April whereas the truck was nonetheless in service, so Lamar made one other video with embarrassing graphics that stated “Assist Me Elon!” Apparently Tesla service stored giving him dates of when the truck could be out of service, then telling him they would want it a bit longer. He then proceeded to point out footage of the Cybertruck within the service heart, saying that they “took it fully aside” to seek out out what was incorrect with it.
A pair weeks later he will get the truck again because it’s been “mounted.” Service tells him the problem was a corroded floor wire for the AC leading to a shutdown of your entire truck’s excessive voltage system. The remainder of the video is him being pleased the truck obtained mounted and saying that there’s going to be “no extra points” after stopping to cost the truck at a Supercharger.
Two minutes into the video nonetheless, he asks if anybody is aware of if the truck is generally loud after being charged; it sounds prefer it has a gasoline engine or one thing. He digs into the service logs and sees there’s a difficulty with the truck’s energetic shutters; they appear to be malfunctioning and never opening sufficient to offer cooling. Thoughts you, this is identical evening he obtained it again from being in service for over a month. At this level he’s performed, saying “Hey, I really like the corporate, I really like the truck, it’s my dream truck. However simply give me a brand new truck. Please.”
A couple of extra breaks and repair visits and on-line complaints later and Tesla heard his name. Tesla changed his Cybertruck on the finish of Could. Issues had been going properly and he gave the impression to be pleased. Lamar even obtained this Cybertruck wrapped. Now, practically two months into having this second Cybertruck, this one has failed. The video shared to X exhibits that the truck misplaced energy and locked up whereas it was charging. It’s so lifeless he can’t even disengage the charging cable from it or get inside it. This occurred 4 hours after he final drove it. He referred to as Tesla service for assist however they primarily informed him that because it was practically midnight there was nobody to come back and assist him. He’d have to attend till the morning to get the truck into service.
The following morning a tow truck confirmed as much as haul away the lifeless truck. In a tweet displaying the truck on the flatbed, he stated it couldn’t even be soar began. One other tweet exhibits that when the truck obtained to the middle, it was so lifeless that even the techs on the service heart couldn’t entry it; that they had to make use of old fashioned lock out instruments to open the truck.
Then comes an replace that must be seen to be believed. Within the tweet, Lamar says the techs needed to drill into the frunk to get entry to the handbook launch, which induced Lamar to lastly pause and take a second take a look at the engineering of his Wündertruck.
This isn’t simply unhealthy engineering, it may very well be extremely harmful if say, a child had been get caught within the frunk and the Cybertruck lose energy. He stated the service thinks it’s an issue with the 12-volt battery however for the reason that truck is lifeless and locked up, they will’t entry the 12-volt because it’s within the frunk. None of this issues although as a result of the Cybertruck doesn’t also have a 12-volt battery.
A short while later Musk responded to the tweet, saying that the corporate will get his truck mounted. Not lengthy after service gained entry into the truck. Lamar was elated after all. Apparently service discovered the problem was with the truck’s VC left controller which appears to have one thing to do with the truck safety system. Service stated that changing that ought to repair the problem, which is cool however my god.
The mess that this man went by way of with two mainly model new Cybertrucks is nuts. If this had been every other automotive firm, none of this is able to have been acceptable however one way or the other Tesla house owners have satisfied themselves that going by way of one thing like that is simply part of the possession expertise. If they’ve an issue, they will simply attain out to daddy Musk and he’ll make all of it higher.
