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.

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.

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.

Oops, did they accidentally do the remote self-destruction on a vehicle that was already sold?

Lol, why is this guy trying to talk directly to Elon? There has to be some other customer support option that would be more effective.

It is definitely a computer. Things just stop working for no obvious reason sometimes.

Have you tried turning it off and on again?

Literally says on the screen "Exiting and Reentering vehicle might restore operation." I hate the future.

[–] prole@lemmy.blahaj.zone 7 points 3 days ago

For fuck sake

[–] despicable@lemmy.today 6 points 3 days ago

Lmao you HAVE TO exit and reenter the car to restart it? This is hilarious on so many levels.
