Elon Musk’s much-anticipated Tesla Cybertruck has been inundated with complaints from dissatisfied owners, with numerous malfunctions and quality issues reported just months after its launch. One owner reported that his EV completely failed after he had driven it just one mile.
new york post report Since its launch in December 2023, two years later than planned, Tesla’s Cybertruck has been criticized by owners for a variety of issues. Problems include cars dying after just one mile, random hard braking on open roads, and rust marks appearing on the stainless steel exterior, according to a post on the Tesla Owners Club forum.
One Southern California-based owner shared his experience in a thread titled “Worst delivery of my life (truck died in 5 minutes).” They say their $80,000 Cybertruck “goes a mile down the road, starts having steering errors, flashes a red screen, veers off to the side of the highway, and the truck is dead and waiting for a tow truck.” By the way,” he reported. The owner added: “Tesla really rushed the truck out. What a nightmare.”
Another user shared a photo of a Cybertruck with a warning: “Please stop safely.” A serious steering problem has been detected. They noted that “many trucks are experiencing high voltage issues, rendering the trucks unusable.”
In another thread, an owner reported having an “incredible moment” when his Cybertruck suddenly applied hard brakes as another truck approached oncoming traffic on the highway. “Luckily there were no cars behind me so I would have definitely collided with it,” the user wrote.
A critical review posted on the Tesla Motors Club forum by a Canada-based owner described the Cybertruck as “a toy truck at best, an experimental concept at worst.” They cited problems with the suspension, steering wheel size, headlights, wipers and windshield glare, and claimed visibility was “marginally dangerous”.
Despite Tesla touting the Cybertruck’s futuristic design and 320 miles of range on a full charge, owners report that “corrosion and orange rust marks” quickly appear on the exterior. There is. Additionally, YouTuber Kyle Connor, known as Out of Spec Motoring, was only able to achieve 79 percent of the claimed range in an unofficial test.
Breitbart News previously reported on the Cybertruck’s rust problem:
Forum member Laxer said their Cybertruck started showing noticeable rust just two days after being exposed to the rain. They claim they were warned by Tesla staff upon pick-up that rain could cause rust and that they would need to be polished. Another owner, Vertigo3pc, brought his Cybertruck to his service center after discovering similar corrosion after the Los Angeles rains. Staff are aware of the problem and say they can repair the damage. Both owners posted photos online that show orange rust marks speckled across the Cybertruck’s body panels.
Stainless steel has a tendency to rust under certain conditions, especially when exposed to water over time. According to his Cyber truck owner’s manual page posted online, the exterior does not have a protective clear coat finish to prevent corrosion. The manual warns owners to promptly remove materials such as rain, grease, and bird droppings to avoid damage to the exterior.
