Tesla Cybertruck Owners Complain - Here's What's Happening

The launch of the Tesla Cyber Truck has been delayed for more than two years after a series of delays. Despite the extra time, some users say the futuristic truck feels rushed. The New York Post reports that some buyers claim the truck broke down just minutes after receiving the $80,000 to $100,000 truck.

Even if the price was a quarter of the original price, it would still upset buyers to have a new vehicle break down just minutes after delivery. And we are not talking about someone's game console or laptop computer breaking down, we are dealing with a huge machine that the driver is entrusting his life to.

Other Tesla models have not had perfect launches, but they don't seem to suffer from the same major problems that Cybertruck is facing. A user on the Southern California-based CyberTruckOwnersClub detailed his experience in a thread titled "Worst delivery in my life (truck died in 5 minutes)."

The user wrote that their new Cyber truck "started getting a steering error a mile down the road, red screen flashing, pulled over to the side of the highway, truck died and is waiting for a tow truck. Dealer did nothing; it was fine for 5 minutes. When I rebooted, the screen stayed black and stopped, and it kept beeping."

Another user in the thread reported a similar situation, where their truck started "flashing a red screen" and said, "Please pull over safely. There is a serious problem with the steering.

Regardless of the cost of the truck, these problems are certainly not pleasant, but a user in another CyberTruckOwnersClub thread claimed that the autopilot had some serious problems that could lead to accidents." My CyberTruck suddenly braked to a stop with enough space between the two of us. We would have definitely collided, so fortunately there was no vehicle behind us."

There are plenty of reports of cybertruck problems on forums and sites like Reddit. Not all of them are as life-threatening as the above, but still seem to be a bit too many.

VoyageATX's video, which is being discussed on YouTube, explains all the problems with his cybertrack. 'One of the D-rings inside the bed was missing. Fortunately, they were able to replace that part. And while many of them are small, they still highlight an alarming lack of quality control.

Still, there are certainly a large number of problem-free cyber trucks on the road. However, since Tesla has not disclosed how many of its newest vehicles have been delivered, there is no way to be certain of the failure rate. Some users on the Tesla forums have responded angrily; even a user of a truck that died after five minutes said, "The truck was otherwise great. The five minutes I was able to drive it were great." Another CyberTruckOwnersClub user took delivery of the truck and enjoyed doodling on the stainless steel exterior, calling it a "Pretty amazing experience" and saying he "loved the truck."

Another user recounted their experience on CyberTruckOwnersClub: "The CT delivery experience in Marina del Rey, LA was awesome - indoors, guided me through the UI and vehicle setup (to James Lagro and Robert Peters Thanks) - and the product and build quality seems pretty incredible so far."

Still, for those who have spent $80,000 to $100,000, the only breakdown would be a truck breakdown.
