Tesla Cybertruck A/C Stops Working in the Middle of Canadian Cold – To Stop Himself From Freezing, The Cybertruck Owner Had to Drive on the Highway With Insulated Coat On

New cars have problems too, especially a brand new model. Thats what warrantys are for. I'm sure this isnt the first car under warranty to have heater problems in canada, and any canadian making a winter trip knows to bring warm clothes in case of a breakdown or accident. How many other vehicles can help by driving themselves? Having problems with a new product is frustrating but there is a positive story here of you chose to see it.

Not surprised this guy is Asian. Tesla’s in Canada are very popular with Asians and Indians. It’s rare to see a white person driving a Tesla. As people have said, his need to be a show off and be one of the first owners of a Cybertruck serves him right for paying over 150K for a vehicle that fails at the most basic of things. Sooo sad… Too Bad…

Having owned several evs and driven across Canada in them several times, you have to be prepared for road and weather conditions. You are ultimately responsible and you can't blame faulty equipment. Having driven over 3000 KMs in -35 C, recently in a Tesla, you need to prepare for Canadian conditions. Unfortunately , I see far too many drivers that are not prepared for the drive and blame everything but themselves for their misfortune. It's better to be late in this world than early in the next. If it's not safe then don't go.
It's that simple.

If your defroster stops working you could stop as soon as its safe and call a tow truck.

If you can afford a Cyber Truck, you can afford AMA. This vehicle should have been towed, not driven. Towed straight to a Tesla Service Center.

HVAC.
it was the HVAC system that failed. NOT the A/C. if it was just the A/C that failed in winter then the heater would have still worked. unless the A/C would have failed to turn off at all. and stayed permanently on & running. that would have actually been an A/C malfunction. its still not what happened in this case.

a SHITsla driver, still driving on the highway for hours without being able to see properly, is exactly what would be expected of a piece of shit:
1) sibretrukkk buyer
2) SHITsla buyer.
average SHITsla driver, endangering all of society for their vanity & cult behavior.

Also, if Mr. Chuanrui felt it was unsafe, why did he continue to operate the vehicle? That unnecessary creates a dangerous situation for himself and others on the motorway.

I wouldn't buy the cyber truck. It's ugly and a pos.

Fun fact about ICE:

No matter how cold, unless you're heater core is clogged all the way, you will always have heat.

Hit piece article. Author says the drivers life was in danger (at risk) but that's not true. The truck never put him at risk. Moreover he's blaming the AC/Heater going out on Tesla without any evidence. He says these problems should be "worked out" after about a year... but please show me a single car manufacturer that has made perfect cars for an entire year - you won't find one. The issue isn't that the Cybertruck isn't perfect because no car is perfect. The issue is whether or not the Cybertruck is a good vehicle compared to other trucks. When you do that comparison then that article will be worth reading.

How has this writer lived his whole life without learning the difference between heater and A/C? These are not interchangeable terms, they are in fact opposites.

No, you don't spend over 100k for a vehicle that has been in development for at least 4 years and give them a pass for not getting HVAC operating system right. That's crazy talk, especially since it is no different than what they've used on ALL Tesla's since 2013. Change to heat pump notwithstanding.

You can be a fan of something without going over the top and being ridiculous, but so many Cybertruck owners are just delusional. I don't know how they function in reality, when they are so happy to pay an exorbitant amount for something that is riddled with faults and frequent recalls, and then won't stand up for themselves against Tesla or other CT owners.
It just seemed incompatible with operating a business, interacting with adults, or doing anything in life, really.

The Tesla cultists willingness to excuse anything is both laughable and sad. If another car exhibited all the issues the CT does they would bury it, but when it comes to Tesla they lose the ability to think.

I really want to know what the author of this article thinks "A/C" stands for lol.

Any car with a broken heater would have been impossible to safely drive during such cold conditions, so Tesla doesn't have to fix anything about the cars... The guy had a malfunction, if it were a recurrent thing then it would be Tesla responsibility to fix the issue because it affects their design as a whole

What crazy a hit piece this is. Just because it's a Tesla and "Elon are bad reeee hurrr durrr me leftist and hate people who not in our cult of stupidity". I've driven tons of chevys and dodges in northern michigan winters with the heat broken. I put on my coat and didn't "almost die".

This isn't a new problem, with EVs or otherwise, and usually not a big issue. But I assume in Canada, most people that drive long distances take proper precautions because of the potential risk.

No absolutely not it's a vehicle not a video game in early access. Having a feature break and create dangerous conditions for the driver should not be acceptable for any brand new vehicle. It is a several ton death machine we should have higher standards than oh it's the first year car it'll have problems.

I think when you spend close to $100,000 on a vehicle you should have an expectation of it working as it should for , at least , the length of the warranty assuming scheduled maintenance. You haters that said he should have known better than buying a first generation vehicle are either most likely jealous or just damaged from life. To the op, you have every right to air your grievence. People telling you to keep quiet are not living in reality. Don't allow people with the gift of hindsight deter you from demanding what you paid for in whatever forum you think will aid in having your Cyber truck perform to your expectation. This is obviously none of my business. I just can't stand know-it-alls that anonymously berate someone they know nothing about save for the couple of paragraphs where you simply state the truth. Bullies are not welcome. Some people should just keep their ridiculous comments to the people that give a shit about what spills out of their mouths. Probably me included. I just can't stand bullying in any form.

When these Elon simps are not shooting their pretend trucks or throwing rocks at their windshields, they're driving unsafely and dangerously on the road. They're not exactly the sharpest knives in the drawer.

I think you meant to say the heater stopped working. Not the AC.

Why is he using A/C in the winter, wasn't it already cold enough? Lol

A/C doesn't mean what you think it means. You don't run your A/C heat up.

Badly written by AI. Why would the driver be using the air conditioner (A/C) in freezing cold??? The story kept wrongly stating “A/C” except in one paragraph when it finally said “heater”. This is what happens when lazy writers don’t proof read the dribble they put out.
