Record of critical errors in the Tesla Cybertruck: 25 in two days. Now that the first units are being delivered we can evaluate, with the users themselves, the performance of the popular pick-up. One of the most anticipated cars in recent years.
And the surprise could not be greater. With just a few days of launch, different reports of system failures are already arriving. Some users complain about crashes the first day they drive it. A problem of important dimensions taking into account the number of units that the brand plans to sell of the Cybertruck.
Critical errors, system failures, all kinds of warnings. Users report a good number of warnings that they have seen appear on the electric instrument panel. One of the affected users is called Carlos Thomas, and he said that up to 25 critical errors appeared in the first days of driving.
And of course, 25 errors are cause for alarm. On cybertruckownersclub.com, this user posted photos of his infotainment system showing a long list of warnings affecting just about everything. From the high voltage system to the steering system. How crazy!
“Today, as I was driving my two-day-old Cybertruck at about 25 mph down the highway, the screen flashed red and said Error/Critical Failure,” said Carlos Thomas. “I couldn't capture that because I was concentrating on stopping,” he continued. Here you can see some of those errors.
Another user says that when he was in his garage a critical error warning appeared on his screen. At least this driver hadn't left home yet and could safely attack the problem. In this case, he allowed her to take a photo of the notice that read: “critical management problem.”
Likewise, another user reports a “loss of system redundancy.” It said the Tesla would not allow it to leave the parking lot because the “vehicle could suddenly lose electrical power, steering and propulsion, and may not be able to operate.” He then said “apply the parking brake”.
No owners have yet filed official complaints with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, although the reports are alarming. A car may have faults in its first deliveries, although what some users are experiencing gives food for thought.
And all this in a model that has a starting price of $60,990, about 55,900 euros. A price that could change in 2025, according to Tesla itself. The next model, with a double engine, costs a whopping 79,990 dollars, about 73,314 euros.
Not to mention the most expensive. And in the Cyberbeast, the most expensive finish, the rate we find is $99,990, no less than 91,645 euros. The most powerful version has 857 HP, a car that takes 0-96 km/h in just 2.6 seconds, with a quarter-mile time of less than 11 seconds.
In addition, we have a 608 HP version that reaches 96 km/h in 4.1 seconds, while the access version completes 0-96 km/h in 6.5 seconds. A fast and expensive car that we will see how it continues to adapt to deliveries.
