Tesla Cybertruck Owner Says He Was Locked Out of His Truck for 3 Weeks, Unable to Even Open the Doors, After it Got Bricked Out of the Blue

A Cybertruck owner shares his abysmal Cybertruck ownership experience over the past seven months. He says that, on top of multiple failures, he wasn’t able to access the inside of his truck for three weeks when it got bricked for no apparent reason.

A Tesla Cybertruck owner, Adam Meuli, has detailed his frustrating Cybertruck ownership experience. The latest issue, his Cybertruck has gone into limp mode after the rear motor stopped working.

This follows a previous failure in which he was locked out of his truck for three weeks after it died and got bricked without any apparent reason.

Here is what Adam wrote about his abysmal Cybertruck ownership experience…

“It's been an interesting seven months with a Cybertruck. 🚗⚡ As I mentioned in my last post, it was locked out for three weeks; I couldn't get into it, and it had to be towed. A whole nine yards of bleeding edge. Now, last week — I just packed up for a quick beach getaway, and boom—rear motor disabled

I love trying cutting-edge tech, and when it works, the Cybertruck is really fun to drive. But to be honest, there's definitely some fussiness that comes with it. I’m actually starting to wonder... do I have enough downtime to claim the lemon law? 🤔 I mean, technically, I could ask for a new Cybertruck, or maybe I should just give in and find a good old-man vehicle, lol.”

Following this, Adam shares that he hasn’t been able to sell his Ford F-150 as he does not feel comfortable enough to make the Cybertruck his sole vehicle.

Here is what Adam says…

“But seriously, there must be a reason I haven’t sold the F150 yet—it’s never been in the shop. Two years of reliability! 🚙 It would have no idea what a service center even looks like. My Cybertruck, on the other hand, has made friends with the broken-down cars and service techs. It’s like it's going to daycare every few months.”

Finally, Adam concludes his post by asking the community whether he should give up on his Cybertruck: “Curious what you guys think? Keep pushing for the future or give in to the comfort of good ol’ reliability?”

Here, I want to emphasize the fact that Adam could not even open his Cybertruck doors for three weeks. Yes, any vehicle can experience a failure; however, to fail so spectacularly that you can’t even open the doors? That’s a doozy.

What’s even more disappointing is that, after being locked out of his vehicle for three weeks, Adam still decided to give the Cybertruck another chance. However, he was rewarded with more disappointment. Adam’s Cybertruck experienced yet another failure, which rendered his truck undrivable.

With his post, Adam shared several pictures, including one of his truck being loaded onto a flatbed and another showing the error message on his center screen.

The alerts show a picture of a turtle next to the error messages “Power Reduced” and “Rear Motor Disabled.”

Adam also shared a picture of himself sitting in his Cybertruck, making a frowny face, undoubtedly unhappy that his Cybertruck had failed yet again.

On the bright side, he can be grateful this time that he can at least access the inside of his Cybertruck.

Having said that, to be fair to Tesla, the EV maker has made great strides toward reliability over the years, especially on the Model 3 and Model Y.

When Tesla’s best-selling vehicles first hit the market, they were riddled with defects; however, as the products matured, their reliability also increased markedly.

Extending this logic to the Cybertruck, Tesla will likely fix the myriad of issues owners are facing; however, Tesla should do so before permanently harming its brand.

Overall, it’s baffling to see a brand new $100,000 truck failing so spectacularly that you can’t even access the inside for three weeks. However, do let me know how you feel about the whole situation in the comments below.
