When Edmunds bought a brand-new Tesla Cybertruck Foundation Series in July 2024 for a whopping $101,985, little did they know the ride would turn into a nightmare!
In just five months, the shiny, futuristic truck faced countless problems — steering failures, random shutdowns, AC failures, and even transmission glitches. But the worst was yet to come!
🚗 Parked and Wrecked: A Twist No One Expected
On December 11, while parked peacefully, a compact sedan smashed into the 6,600-pound Cybertruck, pushing it onto the curb.
While the outside showed damage to the wheels, tires, and stainless steel panels, the hidden wreckage was catastrophic — broken suspension, rear drive motor damage, and rear-wheel steering collapse.
Tesla’s service centers didn't make it any easier. Edmunds had to wait one month just to get an estimate and six more months if they wanted it repaired!
Cybertruck's Early Troubles: A Red Flag Parade
Even before the crash, Edmunds’ Cybertruck had become a headache:
Critical steering failures
Random shutdowns during drives
AC not working in heatwaves
Transmission issues refusing to select Park
Error screens popping up constantly
🛠️ Repairing a Cybertruck? Mission Impossible!
Body shops outright refused to touch the Cybertruck due to its complex steel body panels.
Even in Los Angeles — the Cybertruck capital — there were only two Tesla-certified shops within 50 miles!
Repair timelines were absurd, storage costs were piling up, and patience wore thin.
Conclusion
Edmunds’ $102K Cybertruck turned into a shocking loss, proving that hype means nothing without real-world reliability.
In just five months, Tesla’s dream truck became a total nightmare — a harsh reminder that futuristic looks can’t cover poor service and endless issues.
