Owner report 11587365 · 2024-05-07 (May 7, 2024)

MoThe air suspension is stuck saying it cannot adjust. The car states that there is an electrical issue. As an electric car electrical issues seems to be a concerning error message to receive. The service center has stated a part was replaced two times but the error message remains. The error is in reference to exhausting from the valve block. This removes the ability to utilize any of the adjustments and potential water wade mode. The service center said a redesign is in the works, but no such redesign is in the works.

I purchased 2024 Tesla cybertruck and got the delivery of the truck on May 11th 2024. One the very first day I experienced a critical warning that stated " Critical Steering issue detected" and it started beeping loudly and I was unable to steer it. Now I am unable to drive the car as I have a whole lust of critical alerts that pop up on the screen. I am concerned about my safety and others on the road.

Subject: Tesla Cybertruck Recall – Out-of-Pocket Wrap Costs I own a Tesla Cybertruck (VIN: [XXX] ) affected by the recall on Cant Rail Assemblies. Tesla requires the replacement and welding of new assemblies. My truck is custom wrapped by Rogue Films, a Tesla-recommended supplier. Rogue Films quoted $850 to re-wrap the affected areas after the recall repair. Tesla is only offering $300, leaving me to cover the remaining $550. This cost is a direct result of Tesla’s recall, not elective customization. In addition, Tesla does not provide a loa…

PCS system has failed. This causes the vehicle to be unable to charge and can lead to loss of power if unable to get to a supercharger before the battery is depleted. It can now only be charged at full Tesla superchargers and not at other brands, hotel chargers, or home AC chargers. The vehicle did notify me of the PCS failure and recommended using a supercharger. Tesla proactively updated my account to allow for free supercharging, but this does not eliminate the risk when going to areas that do not have superchargers available. Parts are not …

While driving on a local road and thank fully at speed of 20mph vehicle lost all power, in few seconds of alerts steering failed as well as brake failed. Car slowly coasted to stop and died completely. Steering and brakes were completely unresponsive all of a sudden while driving. Was only able to get out of car via emergency exit. If this was on a highway at highway speed am very positive it would have been a disaster.

I believe there was an issue with the ABS system that kept me from stopping the vehicle, as speed was increasing while going downhill with the brake pedal pushed hard. I was forced to make the choice to steer the vehicle into a mountainside to stop it before I ended up over the side of the mountain road. The vehicle then tipped over, coming to a stop.

At highway speeds (typically between 70–80 mph), the driver’s side door of my Tesla Cybertruck begins to visibly vibrate and emit wind noise. The vibration is strong enough that I can see the door flexing from inside the cabin. It is not subtle , it shakes to the point that I’ve become genuinely concerned for my safety. At times, it feels unstable enough that I worry the door could detach, which could lead to a serious accident or even death. It is scary, and no vehicle should behave this way at normal highway speeds. I have returned to the Te…

While exiting the Chick-fil-A drive-thru lane, I lightly pressed the accelerator to move into the next lane. Suddenly, the vehicle jerked forward very quickly, as if I had floored the accelerator. At the same time, the display showed "Emergency Braking in Progress." It felt as though the truck briefly braked and then rapidly released, causing unexpected acceleration. No collision occurred, but it was startling and very scary.
