Tesla Cybertruck owners encountered serious problems with the engines, which necessitated replacement drives and inverters. Tesla is taking corrective action, but the situation could lead to an official recall of the vehicles.

Unexpected Problems
Last month, some Cybertruck owners received an offer from Tesla to replace the actuator free of charge at their next service visit. The company explained this by studying the first copies of the electric pickup truck. However, recently a number of owners have experienced serious problems with the engine. This gave rise to speculation that, under the guise of research, Tesla was actually conducting a secret voluntary recall of power units.
Innovative technologies and their shortcomings
Recently, the Tesla Cybertruck has been facing a number of difficulties due to the fact that many advanced The technologies used in it are at an early stage of development. This electric pickup truck is fundamentally different from other vehicles in almost every way: from the manufacturing process and body design to the materials used and innovative technical solutions.
Early User Experience
While Tesla has successfully resolved most of the issues reported by early users of the Cybertruck, some issues still persist come to light. Currently, the main complaints relate to engine performance.
Problem Symptoms
In most cases, problems started with an unusual noise or jerking noise from the rear of the vehicle. The truck would then display several rear wheel drive related error codes and go into what is known as "turtle mode." At the moment, such problems have only been observed in all-wheel drive models.
Diagnostics and repair
In one case, Tesla service center employees provided assistance to the owner even on a day off. By analyzing the logs, they suggested that either the rear inverter or the rear drive was faulty. According to them, the rear inverter is equipped with a pyro fuse that trips to protect the drive. Its activation caused the rear engine to shut down, but it was unclear whether the engine itself was damaged.
Repair Time
Owners of vehicles with similar problems have reported varying wait times for repairs. Some had to wait more than two weeks before Tesla found a replacement for the rear inverter. Others were more fortunate - their problems were solved in just a couple of days. Those who contacted the service center immediately after a fault occurred were given a temporary replacement vehicle and their inverter was replaced within a few days. This indicates that Tesla is aware of the problem and has already prepared to address it.
Prospects for an official recall
In light of these events, many remembered the offer of a free engine replacement. It appears that Tesla has actually been proactive in replacing faulty drive units. However, the increasing number of problematic Cybertrucks may force the company to issue an official recall, and this time not limited to just the software.

Wow! Tesla is back in the spotlight 🙄 Looks like the Cybertruck is having engine problems. I wonder how they will get out this time?
Amelie
Lorenzo, I heard about it! Tesla is said to be quietly changing engines under the guise of 'research'. It's a smart move, but is it fair to customers? 🤔
Hans
Guys, let's not rush to conclusions. Tesla has always been at the forefront of innovation. Perhaps this is truly part of the process of improving the product. I have a Tesla Model 3 and am happy with their service.
Sophia
Hans, I agree that innovation is important, but safety is more important. If the problem is serious, Tesla should be more open. By the way, does anyone know how many Cybertrucks are already on the road? 🚗💨
Ivan
Eh, cars used to be simpler and more reliable. All these newfangled trains only create problems. My good old diesel never failed, but here are some pyro fuses, inverters... It’s just a hassle!
Amelie
Ivan, I understand your dissatisfaction, but progress cannot be stopped! 😄 Sophia, there are no exact numbers, but according to rumors, there are already thousands of them on US roads. I wonder how Tesla will handle a large-scale replacement if necessary?
Lorenzo
Amelie, that's a question! 😮 Imagine the logistics of such an operation. But I'm more concerned about why they didn't make an official statement right away? It undermines trust a little, don't you think?
Hans
Lorenzo, perhaps they first wanted to assess the scale of the problem. But I agree, transparency is important. Although, knowing Tesla, they are probably already working on an improved version of the drive. Maybe Cybertruck owners will be lucky with an upgrade? 🚀
