Tesla Cybertruck Immediately Dies in Canadian Winter – Owner Bricks the Truck Trying to Use the Defroster, Says “In Love to Heartbroken on the Same Day”

Older and new electric car batteries require a battery warmer function as well as battery tenderer for 12 v lead acid battery. My usa made nissan leaf does not have a battery warmer and the previous owner installed a 12 v battery tendorer before I purchased. Just like gasoline cars require block heaters Canadian auto dealers don't seem to mention block heaters are optional and you have to order them at purchase or pay more to do later. I can't even find out how to add battery warmer to my Leaf as a Canadian Nissan dealer told me to call the states but Nissan USA had no idea of the part number for a Canadian Leaf. Even though they probably have the same issue in Alaska and Northewn States. Warm batteries are likely essential to electric cars until the chemistry can be updated.
By the way, AMA has level 2 charge batteries they can throw into their service trucks to boost the charge on your electric car. They keep them in a Edmonton shop to stay warm. Contact them to see how they work. Boosting the 12 volt lead acid. Battery only helps the electronics of your vehicle.

WORST penile replacement truck EVER.

I laugh at the MAGA cult surrounding Elmo's epic faceplant.

A heat pump heats by cooling the outside world in the winter, which is bad idea in Canada.

Those shiny pieces of metal are the worst looking things on four wheels. And apparently, are as dependable as their "stellar" look.

Honestly, what do you expect when you buy an overpriced, ugly, unproven vehicle? Several massive issues are well-documented, with many more like this to be discovered. Buyer beware!

I have seen these “trucks” down here in Florida present with all types of problems. Keep them away from sea salt, don’t put magnets on them or they rust.. I’ll stick with the proven, an F-250 is a TRUCK! The strange looking creation from Tesla is nothing but a misshaped pile of stainless steel looking for a sucker that has more money than brains!

Edison motors
Has developed a hybrid truck that has a diesel generator that charges the batteries ,

This reduces emissions while extending mileage

The more I hear of this things failures, the more I think these owners are coping with the fact they blew $100k+ on a shoddy built meme. I don't feel sorry for any of them.

I'm sure Tesla tests each of their vehicle models in extreme weather conditions for at least maybe ten minutes or so before giving them the ok to be sold in every market.

I always thought that a rich guy had some kind of intelligence!🤪🇨🇦

The whole point in buying an EV is supposedly to “save the planet”, to save the environment with less CO 2, and to stop using fossil fuels. However, these cars make absolutely no sense to me because to make the batteries for these vehicles is causing HUGE damage to the environment! It’s unbelievable how much mining takes place just for the lithium alone. The batteries are very expensive and don’t last that long, especially in a colder climate. Why anyone would buy one who lives in Canada is nuts!
These batteries are also very heavy and will apparently cause a great deal of damage to the roads. But the worst part of EV’s is that there is no recycling of these batteries and that is an enormous problem and very destructive to the environment, which is so ironic because that is what they are NOT supposed to do.
The price of EV’s is ridiculous, and the cost to replace the batteries is another huge expense.
Thankfully Trump is taking away the mandate to get rid of gasoline powered cars, even though he has now become buddy buddy with Elon Musk!
I like and admire Elon. He is a genius, but I’m sorry. You couldn’t GIVE me an EV! And there is NO RESALE VALUE! Who would EVER buy a USED EV? NO ONE!!
Oh, and I forgot to mention the insanity of charging these vehicles! How do you think the charging stations operate? The electricity is made from coal or oil! Interesting fact that most people never think about.
And when driving an EV, you would be constantly looking to see how many miles/km you have left on your latest charge. If it’s hot out, better not use the AC because that uses battery power.
If it’s cold out, better not turn the heat on because that uses up battery power so your battery could die before you reach another charger station….and where is a charging station near where I am going?
The entire stress of ever going anywhere would drive me crazy!!!
I feel sorry for the guy in Calgary who bought a very expensive lemon 🍋, and to top it off, the price he paid was insane for a very ugly vehicle.

Not sure when it became acceptable to be OK with such shoddy workmanship and reliability with vehicles and be happy.

$165,000 is a bit of stretch to pay for a broken glamour toy.

Its very fortunate, that Tesla does not make planes.

Sounds like he needs to get his money back as it sounds like the truck is garbage. Why would you want a truck that only works in summer.

First off spending over a hundred and sixty five thousand dollars is ridiculous on a big tin box that you can only go two hours and then you gotta go charge up. I will never get an electric car. I got one over the weekend during Thanksgiving vacation and it took 9 hours and 30 minutes to charge up a car for 214 miles. No, thank you. Give me my gas and all you. People who think that we're killing the environment. Yes, we are by allowing them to use these batteries for these electric cars and destroy the woods and wildlife have no place to live.

The thing about electric cars in places that have very cold winters, like Alberta, is that batteries are prone to draining extremely fast or not working at all like they do when the weather is warmer. Add the fact that a considerable amount of energy must be used for heating the interior, which takes away from the distance the vehicle can travel before needing a recharge, it makes a 100% electric vehicle an impractical and potentially dangerous choice to drive in a winter environment. What happens if the car/truck experiences a catastrophic battery failure while driving in a rural area? Not only will the car not work, it won’t keep you warm, and emergency services aren’t equipped to provide anything that could help get you back on the road, besides a tow to a mechanic that probably isn’t certified for Tesla or other EVs.
Electric vehicles are a great idea, in theory. Mining the materials, like lithium, needed for the batteries is devastating to the planet. It’s the paradox of lithium, sure you avoid fossil fuels, but the lithium needed for (non-repairable) EV batteries is also extremely damaging to the environment.
That’s why I think there needs to be more R&D into alternative fuels, like bio-diesel, hydrogen, even ethanol, etc. and legitimate investment into their long-term success, including bringing viable vehicle choices to market ASAP, ultimately reducing the dependency on lithium mining.
Hybrid cars? Go for it. Pure electric? Not if it gets cold where you live.

Still needs to work out the bugs!
I thought that EV won't work at a very cold temperature.

Still looked awesome on the tow truck? Well, cannabis is legal in Canada, but this guy needs to limit his intake. This truck is the ugliest thing on four wheels and the only thing that would make it look awesome is a couple of sticks of dynamite.

$165,000 brick. Way to go Tesla personally I have no use for an electric vehicle. And as the Tesla truck has had a lot of problems Op was stupid for buying one before doing any research on the electric trucks. Or just pay attention and you'll notice that people are having a problem with the things.

Well, can't blame anyone but himself. Seems to be a common issue w CT. Yet...he went and bought it anyway. You can fool some of the people some it the time. 🤔

Well you get what U pay for. Since the technology is to run these off of a lot of batteries instead of a motor that doesn't need batteries except to start it. For cold weather you could bash a battery or 2 so it can ignite to warm up the entire vehicle.🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Although we want to believe electric is the wave of the future believing and reality are two vastly different realms. I do not have the answers for our planets energy concerns. I do know the technology we posses currently does not support this belief. Elon Musk's stolen or bought technology, depending on who you believe, fails without the science to support it. And will continue to fail until we develop a way to produce (large usable quantities of) and store electricity.

Spend that kind of money on that thing and you deserve this kinda thing. It's ugly on or off the tow truck. How tesla can go from a line of pretty attractive cars to the world's ugliest truck is beyond me.

I hope they all fail. I can not stand Elon Muskrat and would love to see him deported, total pos.

Cybertruck malfunctions, I get it. But, why are there, all of a sudden, So Many BAD reviews after Elon Musk decides to Support President Trump? Just an observation, I'm sure the biased media and supporters of the climate hoax have nothing to do with it. Legit complaints I'm sure TESLA can handle.

"Bricked?" "Frunk?" Must be terms from Canaduh? Tinsae, stay with words that can be found in a dictionary, OK?

"My $150,000 broken toy looks great being towed away after I got to play with it twice." Is such massive, hilarious cope.

Anyone with a spine (or a normal car) would be utterly livid and demanding the problem be addressed, not plaintively hopeful that they *might*.

dont you think the cold weather had a big effect on the battery? probably showing a false reading . Ive read many others complaining of the same thing in cold climates . I think 30 to 40% less run time. why was it only 46% did you not charge it the night before?
