Owner Complaints for the 2024 TESLA CYBERTRUCK

147 complaints have been filed with NHTSA for the 2024 TESLA CYBERTRUCK. Below is a breakdown by vehicle component.

Most Recent Complaints

#11719747 | ELECTRICAL SYSTEM | | N/A miles
The PCS2 threw an alert that the Cybertruck could no longer charge with AC, but I was unable to do DC charging either. The truck is now a brick. Had I been out of town this would have been a serious safety issue. Think of it as an ICE car not being able to be filled at a gas station.
#11718199 | ELECTRICAL SYSTEM | | N/A miles
Since the release of V14, the Full Self-Driving (FSD) system automatically defaults to operating approximately 7 MPH above the posted speed limit. This occurs on all road types, including city streets and highways. When FSD is engaged, the vehicle sets the cruising speed above the detected speed limit without driver input. There is no setting that allows the driver to enforce strict compliance with the posted limit. Available speed settings only permit equal or greater deviation above the speed limit. The driver cannot manually lock or command the system to remain at or below the posted limit while FSD is active. The only way to prevent speeding is to fully disengage FSD. This is not a malfunction. The vehicle is operating as designed under V14. This creates a safety concern because: 1.The system is programmed to exceed legal speed limits by default. 2.The driver does not retain meaningful authority to ensure lawful operation while automation is engaged. 3.Automatic speeding increases crash risk in construction zones, school zones, and changing speed areas. 4.Drivers may receive citations despite not intentionally selecting an unlawful speed. Because this behavior was introduced via V14 software, it likely affects all Tesla vehicles running FSD V14, not just this vehicle.

#11715099 | ELECTRICAL SYSTEM | | N/A miles
One day my car would not charge. At all. Luckily, I was at home when this happened, but had it happened to me or worse, my wife it could've been a very scary or dangerous situation. Either one of us could've been stuck with no way of charging. It's like a gas car with no way of putting gas in. The car would not charge from home or other chargers, including Tesla superchargers. When I described the problem to the Tesla dealer, they were very aware of the problem and said that it was the Power Conversion System. There was no prior warning before this happened. Though they are aware of the problem, they are only fixing/replacing them on a warranty basis. Even though they know about the faulty part that they made, and acknowledge, they are not doing a recall or fixing the problem unless you pay for the parts and labor. I asked if this is normal for a car that is under 2yrs old and he said this part can go bad at anytime. The best thing that can happen is for it to happen early while still under warranty. But the part does not break due to wear and tear, or overuse, or abuse. It is due to a faulty design that needs to be replaced. That's why they have a new part that they replace it with now.
