Tesla Cybertruck owners are prepared to place up with rather a lot with a purpose to personal considered one of these huge vehicles. One true believer of the corporate lastly discovered fault within the truck’s design after the alternative for his first Cybertruck died.
It’s protected to say if you happen to personal a Cybertruck, you’re doubtless at the very least sipping the Tesla Taste-Assist, however X person @LamarMK is chugging it; Lamar is a self proclaimed Tesla proprietor; his bio lists that he had a Mannequin Y and he additionally lately turned the proprietor of a Cybertruck again in March. Two weeks after taking supply his Cybertruck failed on the facet of the highway, throwing every kind of error messages, as he paperwork on his YouTube channel.
Within the video, Lamar says he was on his solution to movie content material with the truck when it threw every kind of error messages. 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 wished them to have a look at as effectively, 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 should work via it,” Lamar says within the video. Bizarre angle to have a couple of 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 mentioned “Assist Me Elon!” Apparently Tesla service saved giving him dates of when the truck could be out of service, then telling him they would wish it a bit longer. He then proceeded to indicate footage of the Cybertruck within the service heart, saying that they “took it utterly aside” to search out out what was fallacious 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 completely satisfied the truck received 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 often 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 problem with the truck’s energetic shutters; they appear to be malfunctioning and never opening sufficient to supply cooling. Thoughts you, this is similar evening he received it again from being in service for over a month. At this level he’s achieved, 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 Might. Issues have been going effectively and he appeared to be completely satisfied. Lamar even received 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 instructed 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 mentioned it couldn’t even be soar began. One other tweet exhibits that after the truck received to the middle, it was so lifeless that even the techs on the service heart couldn’t entry it; they’d to make use of old style lock out instruments to open the truck.
Then comes an replace that needs to 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 brought on Lamar to lastly pause and take a second take a look at the engineering of his Wündertruck.
This isn’t simply dangerous engineering, it may very well be extremely harmful if say, a child have been get caught within the frunk and the Cybertruck lose energy. He mentioned the service thinks it’s an issue with the 12-volt battery however because the truck is lifeless and locked up, they’ll’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 mentioned that changing that ought to repair the problem, which is cool however my god.
The mess that this man went via with two mainly model new Cybertrucks is nuts. If this have been every other automobile firm, none of this may have been acceptable however someway Tesla house owners have satisfied themselves that going via one thing like that is simply part of the possession expertise. If they’ve an issue, they’ll simply attain out to daddy Musk and he’ll make all of it higher.
