He…he can’t help you. He’s the nepo baby of people who owned blood mines. He doesn’t actually know anything useful. Or care about you.
Lmao, imagine a car not working because of a software bug. That’s just pathetic.
That’s… Basically every car made in the last 15 years?
The worst bug I had on my car had the onboard computer not starting, and the screen remaining black. It meant I had: no GPS, no music, no backup camera, and no parking sensor.
But apart from that, the car was driving perfectly normal, and all the other features were working as expected.
My car has a 3 finger salute to force reboot the infotainment system.
Teslas also have a slaute to acess the infotainment system, except it uses the entire hand and arm

Oh apparently I have something similar (5s press on the bottom left), it might have worked
My 2017 mini hasn’t had anything, even resembling that?
It’s got an ECU, you’re 1 computer bug away from being stranded.
the thing is that most manufacturers make sure software bugs are rare in cars. i never experienced an ecu bug before.
i never experienced an ecu bug before.
OK, that’s a sample size of one, not very useful. Most Tesla owners never experienced an ECU bug either. I’ve never had an ECU bug in any of my own cars, but last year I had a rental car from Opel for a few months while my car was waiting for a replacement transmission to get shipped, and in the few months I had it I experienced an ECU bug once, where the car refused to be put into gear, and the only way to fix it was to disconnect the 12v battery and reattach it
It’s a fact that modern cars get more complicated electronics every year, so ECU bugs leaving you stranded will get more common every year also
i never knew anybody whos ever experienced an ECU bug before, on non-teslas. the infotainment system can have issues, but on sane cars it is separate from engine management and the electronic functions of the car that have to be reliable.
i think thats the point this post in general is trying to make.
Yes and?
Depends on the car brand. Some kept their dependance on software quite low like Mazda. Some decided to take a risk with the software gods and tie their entire functionality to it while simultaneously laying off good workers and rehiring the lowest bidder.
This could be an ICCU failure, where the high voltage battery doesn’t properly charge the 12V. I have an EV model that is known to have this issue (luckily I haven’t had it happen). It can be caused by either hardware or software faults. Still pathetic though lol
Edit: the cyber truck apparently doesn’t have a 12V but rather a 48V system. I’m not sure if this same issue or a similar one is happening, or something else entirely.
21 miles and screen absolutely covered in dust. These things must be sitting for ages and not selling. Not even a wipe down from the Tesla store.
That screen is awfully dusty for a car you bought 10 minutes ago
Well, it still does have a protective foil on it and very few finger traces in the dust.
Still, the bottom corner of the film is peeling. Could have been sitting on a lot for a long time, but peeling like that after only a few test drives at most?
Edit: I ended up digging into his Twitter page and everything is legit. And I’m baffled.
Selfie:
SMS conversation with Tesla support (LOL):
Dropping it off:
“Your concern is closed.”
Ahaha the garbage customer service they sell these days.
It’s been DOGE’d for sure
If “thank you”: return
Ahahaha, oh wow, that tech support exchange.
I’d expect the dealership to give it a quick detail before letting the customer drive away, even used car dealerships do that. But I guess when we’re talking about Tesla all bets are off.
Haha. Yeah probably not. Look at what they aren’t paying for when making these now.
I don’t think Tesla dealers work on commission (basing this entirely off the comment of a rando on this site without verification), so that would help explain it.
You’d think the dealership would step in though. If I bought a $100k vehicle I’d be beyond livid if it was delivered in that condition. The fact that it’s also broken is just a cherry on top
Tesla doesn’t have a dealer network, you’re buying direct. Their delivery and service quality is amusing at best.
If a dealer detailed my factory new car before giving it to me I would refuse delivery
Swastidumpster doesn’t really flow. We need alternatives for the cyberclunk. Anyone got suggestions?
Some people use WankPanzer.
Based on Grimes’ tweet maybe the pegwagon?
She said that was fake
And also we shouldn’t shame him for taking it up the ass. He wishes he was cool enough to get pegged
I mean, sure, if it were true, whatever. People’s preferences are none of our business.
‘Deplorean’ is my personal fav followed by ‘Wankpanzer’
Cybersuck?
Sorry, I meant names that acknowledge Elon’s nazi adoration, like swasticar.
Fashcan?
I think we have a winner

Oh I like this one.
“Let them drive cake” because the thing looks like a bad slice of cake and we all know where things are headed.
Bonus double-entendre that what they’re driving is ass.
I think SwastiCar works really well
Yeah, but that applies to the brand as a whole.

I love that people think @elonmusk is a valid technical support approach
Having worked customer support, @ing company leadership is a valid method to get escalated to the highest tiers of support

Oh well, it sucks to be you, a Muskrat dick-sucker.
I know it’s fun to hate on the CyberTruck (absolutely has deserved it), but I’d bet money on this being a 12v battery issue, maybe from improper storage? Only reason I say this is that I have a Kia Soul EV and it gave me pretty much the exact same warning the other day and refused to start. Turned out the 12v battery was dead and that causes all kinds of weird stuff to happen to the electrical systems in the car. Especially considering that the entire electrical system of the CT is consolidated into one wiring harness.
Also, knowing Tesla, attempting to jump the 12v would probably void a warranty.
With modern cars having so many sensors, a dying battery can cause all sorts of weird, seemingly random issues. I have no idea it’s the problem here but it’s usually one of the first things I check when an issue isn’t obvious. Just because the battery starts the car (or does whatever it does in evs) doesn’t mean that the sensors, relays, and servos are getting the juice they need to operate correctly.
The cybertruck is a 48v car with a lithium ion battery, not SLA. It’s not as likely to have a problem like a 12v SLA sitting too long.
It actually has 2 of them as well, altbough one is smallsr. Its a redundant back up for the steer by wire system in case 1 fails.
Many EVs do have a 12V. I have a Hyundai Ioniq 6 and they are known to have ICCU failures which cause issues that look exactly like this.
Edit: the cyber truck apparently doesn’t have a 12V but rather a 48V system. I’m not sure if this same issue or a similar one is happening, or something else entirely.
Most electric vehicles are required by law to lug around a standard 12V battery even though it’s redundant to the 30-60kw battery pack powering th le rest of it. And they’ll typically cheap out and go with a lead acid battery. On the upside they’ll often wire the vehicle to keep the starter battery topped off so the car actually starts, so those starter batteries tend to last much longer than they do in ICE vehicles
The law is probably about a 2nd battery for specific systems, not that it has to be a 12v, it’s just that up until now it’s all been 12v.
You just need to seig heil harder, bro
Cyberbeast… Lmao. Anything to try and make your worst purchasing mistake sound cool.
It is just the actual name for the most powerful version of the Cybertruck
The fuck?
Yeah… a higher trim level. Much faster than the regular
Lol. “Faster…”
Yeah, with the lack of quality and attention to detail and likelihood to trap you in and burn you alive if you crash it goes horrifyingly fast. Not any faster than your average luxury car, but more deadly
I mean im no apologyst and i hate the guy as much as anybody, but its significantly faster than your average ice luxury car. I would never buy a tesla now, but i also am not a fan of skewing the facts to fit a narrative. The cars were shit in the beginning and are much better now. Pretty, well equipped and fast. But dont buy any of them, fuck tesla. And fuck elon especially.
They accelerate faster. But they lack the top speed of a lot of more pedestrian cars.
It does that right before it locks you in and catches on fire
Yeah no this is sus. How is that screen so dusty when its a new car. I mean fuck tesla, their cars suck ass, but this doesnt make sense.
If you look closely at the second image, it looks like it still has the peelies on it. Those things are dust magnets.
They aren’t being cleaned? You think basic maintenance is happening on those trashcans?
Honestly I was with you, it was weird.
I did some digging and found the tweet, he’s a kool aid drinking tech bro and backed up his claim with a selfie and screenshots from speaking with their support center.
Can chalk this one up to actually terrible products.
Wow so they just ship a dusty product. Thats fucking hilarious. They cant even put up the facade of quality service.
Probably was sitting in the lot for a bit, and maybe in a dusty area, but yeah… Not bothering to clean the vehicle if it’s gotten dusty before sale is pretty shitty too
As with most electronics, the most likely times for failure are shortly after manufacture and years later after use. Failures in the middle are generally rare, hence the warranty.
There are components where quality testing can only give a pass/fail so there’s no way to know that it barely passed until it fails shortly after.
This isn’t unique to Tesla, or even EVs. This happens with nearly all electronics. Many things can be tested more thoroughly and have lower quality limits set above what’s actually required, but some stuff just can’t be tested like that ahead of time.
And there’s always just real life. They could have driven it home and parked near to a packrat who decided that a wiring harness looked like a good snack overnight. The car can’t tell that a rat ate the wiring, it will just give generic errors for whatever isn’t working right. Is that likely? No, but it is possible, and not something we would be able to tell from screenshots of the generic error screen telling the driver to schedule service.
This happens with nearly all electronics.
This happens to nearly all complex systems. It’s called the Bathtub Curve: infant mortality at the beginning of an item’s life, and after a relatively problem-free interval, a steady increase in problems that accelerates once it’s past its planned-obsolescence point.
The first image says the frunk is open. I’d imagine that would trigger a pull the fuck over message
“Frunk is open. Pull the truck over and shut the trucking frunk”
It’s a button to open the frunk, not a message saying that it’s open. There’s another one for the tailgate on the right
That’s a button? Do they just not have UX designers at Tesla?
Only the best for the best truck ever
Ah. That would make sense.
Oops, did they accidentally do the remote self-destruction on a vehicle that was already sold?
How the hell should I know?
You did it again.
Cabin climate control system requires service.
Am I reading that right? Do you need a connection to an external service to turn on the air conditioning?
I would definitely interpret that as in “needs to be serviced at a garage/dealer.”
Ah yes, that does make more sense, I’m a computer nerd so interpreted the wrong way. Still something’s clearly gone horribly wrong here.
