I Woke Up and Found My Cybertruck Completely Dead – It’s Time for Tesla to Address the Alarmingly High Cybertruck Failure Rates

Raul Romero is a Cybertruck owner who has been facing several frustrating problems with his brand-new truck. To discuss the issues with the community, Raul joined the Tesla Cybertruck group on Facebook; however, things only got worse, and his vehicle ended up completely bricked.

Initially, Raul wrote, “Here we go again; this is the fourth time this has happened. The AC isn’t working. Last time, they replaced the AC compressor, and now it’s happening again. This is so frustrating for a vehicle that costs more than $100,000. Tesla needs to step up and fix this issue. Have any of you had this issue?”

In his post, Raul included a picture and a video of his Tesla Cybertruck showing several error messages that popped up on his center touch screen.

Here are the error messages he saw…

• Coolant flow compromised - Schedule service

Powertrain / HVAC performance may be limited

• High voltage system error detected

 Vehicle may not restart - Service is required

• Electrical system is unable to support all features

Switching off features to conserve energy

Having major issues, such as your AC failing in a brand-new car, is understandably frustrating; however, taking your vehicle in for service on four different occasions without any improvement is unacceptable.

So far, Raul’s experience with his Cybertruck has been less than ideal; however, things only get worse from here. A few hours after Raul made this post, he wrote an update stating, “And now it’s not even charging, I think I got a lemon. 😡”

Raul shared the latest update during the night, and when he woke up in the morning, lo and behold, his truck was completely dead.

In a short video, Raul says, “I came out this morning and tried to unplug my Cybertruck, and nothing. I tried to open it, and nothing came up. It's totally dead. It was just a warning I had last night. It’s a piece of brick now. I don’t know what to do. Nothing works. It's so frustrating!”

As he shot the video, Raul tried to unplug the Cybertruck charger, but it was stuck. He tried to open the electrically operated door, but there was no response. He tried to open the tonneau cover, but there was absolutely nothing.

At this point, you might be wondering, "This man unfortunately received a defective Cybertruck; what is the big deal?" However, looking at Cybertruck owners' forums throughout the internet, you will quickly notice that a Cybertruck owner with multiple issues is not the exception but the norm.

Last month, we covered a Cybertruck owner, Lamar MK, a US Army veteran and a tech YouTuber who said his truck left him stranded on the road on four different occasions.

After multiple failures, Tesla decided to replace Lamar’s Cybertruck and give him a brand-new vehicle. However, his second Cybertruck also got bricked.

Tesla engineers could only access his truck by drilling open his frunk, which took place after Elon Musk personally assisted in the issue.

The Cybertruck owner says he is afraid to leave his little children in his truck even for a moment since the vehicle can get bricked without warning. If the electrically operated doors are not powered, there is no way to open the vehicle from the outside.

Returning to Raul’s case, his Cybertruck got bricked while the chargers were still attached. Given the multiple Cybertrucks we have seen bricked while charging, Paul will likely need to get his Cybertruck towed to a Tesla service center while the charger is still connected.

If Raul was using Tesla’s mobile connector, that’s not that big of a deal; he can unplug the charger from the wall and tow it together with his Cybertruck.

However, if Paul was charging using a wall-mounted connector, he would either need to break the charger free from the vehicle or disassemble the charger from the wall. There is an emergency charge port release in the truck bed; however, since the tonneau cover is closed, this is his only option.

If this sounds bad, we have also reported about a prospective Cybertruck owner whose truck was dead on arrival a few days ago. Tesla offered him a replacement truck; however, the vehicle had several defects, including visible chalk marks, which Tesla employees highlighted as issues.

A few days ago, we also reported about a Cybertruck owner who said he still loved his truck but that the vehicle was falling apart. This owner details all the issues he has faced with his Cybertruck.

There are also several reports where the Cybertruck steer-by-wire steering failed in the middle of the highway, and the rear motor stopped working in similar circumstances. There are also several issues with the Cybertruck’s new low-voltage 48-volt and high-voltage 800-volt systems.

Overall, I see a worrying trend of Cybertrucks experiencing catastrophic failure. However, if your experience is different, please let me know in the comments.
