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

Does the writer of this article not know the difference between A/C (Air-Conditioning) and heater?

Well the cyber truck may have been around for a year now but I don't believe winter has been.

Why would he need a/c to stop from freezing? I would think cold air would make him freeze more. Wouldn't it be the vehicles heating system that malfunction instead?

Chuanrui Wu is brand new in Canada, and says he was at risking others safety when his truck’s A/C stopped working in the middle of the cold while he was driving on the highway. What a cunt.

There ya go fixed it ! Down to a paragraph.

It's a shame!
Except every poor person in the Midwest deals that with an ICE car daily. Roll your windows down and keep your jacket on.
Not exactly newsworthy. Oh wait it was about someone who had money.

Although the driver chose to continue driving, creating a risk to drivers, there are ample opportunities to exit the highway and seek help. The decision to continue driving was a poor choice.

This is real life, not a video game. Things break down, maintenance is inconvenient. If you were really at risk you should've pulled over to a safe location. Yet you were still comfortable enough to keep moving, you found a way to keep moving an act like it's someone else's fault you were possibly at risk.

The article would read better if you used the correct term for the part that heats the car. An AC is for making the car cold. The HEATER makes the car HOT. Therefore: the correct context would read..."The man had to wear his insulated jacket to stop from freezing to death because his HEATER was malfunctioning. Unless the implication is that the AC was stuck on.

Ac heater ac heater people who wrote this, get it right!

I'm not a Cyber truck owner nor am I even a Tesla anything owner however I AM a huge Elon fan as well as a Nikola Tesla fan so normally I'd probably stick up for both their names however, in this situation I don't think I can...Cuz what is the sticker price on 1 of those trucks? I haven't any idea of what it is but I'm guessing close to $100K but regardless of what the price is I know it's going to be a high enough price for me to feel, it should be a working unit not needing to be "FIXED" at all lol. I buy a brand new anything you expect it to work. I've not come across any company slogans that read anything like, "Buy our product, we may have to fix a few things on the 1 you buy but we promise once we get it fixed you'll fall in love with it!" Lol I'm really hoping for both Elon Musk & the Nikola Tesla name that doesn't end up having to be their new slogan for the cyber truck but from all the stories I've already read I'm kind of afraid that they are well on their way to adopting such a slogan lol.

This is just laughable, all these people jumping on teslas side? Give me a break i don't care if it's first gen or ninth your heater should never give out on a brand new vehicle period. To think you people are actually defending tesla is just insanity and you are obviously not car people, the cyber truck is a joke, it's looks like a garbage can mixed with a TV remote, people who think otherwise are again not car people and are clueless as to how vehicles should perform. Losing your heater in the dead of winter is kinda a big deal and seeing as how the cyber joke costs over 100k you bet that heater better work for 200000 miles or more regardless is it's first gen! A heater is basic technology for God sakes and tesla can't even get that right it's a joke and sad that people defend tesla, I hope this problem doesn't happen to anyone else in the freezing cold as it's not ok. It's like say I buy a first gen of another model and the engine catches fire and blows up and I'm scarred for life, don't think I'm just going to shrug my shoulders and say there just working out the kinks cause it's new, no I'm going for people's jobs, tesla makes cars and there product shouldn't continue to be riddled with so many problems, but they still make crappy cars that are far worse for the environment and yuppie rich people buy them. I think I will pass on ever buying one or stepping foot in one of those garbage cans, buy a chevy 😉 got a 99 Silverado with 750000 on it and heater is still going strong as well as all the original engine and driveline, so to all the wackos defending this abomination of a truck that has issues right off the lot I salute your stupidity 👏 .

It is nothing new that Tesla’s are not built well and it has been an issue since the company first started, it’s amazing to me that people have the internet at their fingertips but still don’t do any research before buying a car, And if it is unsafe to drive the vehicle because you can’t see, and is 100% on the operator of the vehicle and he is lucky he didn’t kill somebody.

Here’s the situation, and I want to emphasize that I’m the person this happened to: Everything was normal, and I was driving with FSD engaged. Suddenly, the heater stopped working (no warm air, just weak cool air), which caused a temperature change inside the car and led to the windows fogging up. I couldn’t stop immediately to address it because it all happened so quickly, and I was in the middle of a turn. Within a few seconds, FSD completed the turn, and I took over the car within the next 30 seconds. I then pulled over to the side of the road and manually defogged the windows. Only after I could clearly see with my own eyes did I restart the car and get back on the road.

I’m not an idiot—I would never entrust my car or life to FSD when I’ve completely lost visibility. However, as the person directly involved in this situation, I can say that in that brief moment, FSD handled the situation exceptionally well. Throughout the drive, even with snow-covered roads and occasional icy patches, it continued to perform impressively.

We have a 3yr old moder Y and started having these same problems this winter. It will be fine, I run into a store for 15 minutes, get back in the car, drive, a few minutes later when I have been lulled into a false sense of security, it fogs up while I’m driving and I can’t even see enough to pull over safely.
