First Cybertruck Batteries Quietly Replaced by Tesla ?

At the beginning of October 2024, more than 27,000 Cybertrucks were recalled due to a problem with the rearview camera. Some vehicles were indeed plagued by a surprising bug, which materialized by a delay in the appearance of the rearview camera. The latter took two seconds to appear after the vehicle was put into reverse. However, it seems that the first Cybertruck models are affected by a battery problem, which would be (more or less) discreetly fixed by the manufacturer.

Does the Tesla Cybertruck (also) have a battery problem ?

Indeed, some Tesla Cybertruck owners have been contacted by the brand, and have been asked to bring their vehicle back to the dealership, often to resolve “minor issues“. And while some thought they would get their precious electric vehicle back the same day, they ultimately had to wait sometimes two weeks to get back on board the car.

Via Facebook, a Cybertruck owner indicates that among the “minor issues” supported by the manufacturer, we find the replacement of the battery, nothing less, the fault of certain dented cells which could have been problematic.

By cross-referencing several testimonies, we realize that several Cybertrucks (in particular the models delivered during the first half of 2024) have had the same experience, namely returning to the workshop to resolve minor issues, but ultimately changing the battery. The reason is always the same, namely damaged cells, which could cause problems in the more or less near future.

On the American manufacturer's side, there is no official recall concerning its Cybertruck, evoking such a battery problem. According to some, this would be a relatively minor and isolated problem, and therefore not likely to be the cause of an official recall. Others believe that the American giant is playing the discretion card to avoid yet another scandal concerning its Cybertruck, which has already been recalled several times during the year 2024.

The electric pickup has already made headlines regarding a problem with the windshield wipers, but also a problem related to the accelerator pedal, not to mention a bug on the font size at the beginning of the year, regarding the warning lights.
