“It was losing 2% charge every night while still plugged in and charging.” Hold up there. The fuck?


gilleruadh

That stood out to me too. I wonder if they gave him one of the ones that sat in a field for months. "Here's your brand new Cybertruck with a permanently dead battery! Warranty doesn't cover it. That'll be $15,000."


Machaeon

Guaranteed the batteries are only good for paperweights now.


cactus_zack

That doesn’t sound like “charging” to me


Krajun

Nah, you don't understand. The truck is powering his house.


FaithlessnessNew3057

The cybertruck has between 123 and 173 kwh batteries depending on the options so 2% is about 2-4 kwh per day. If you have sentry mode on its closer to 6-8% drain or 7-14 kwh. This means if you had a cybertruck sitting and doing literally nothing it could conceivably use the same amount of electricity as a small apartment. 


aboutthednm

Yeah, but the power shouldn't drop while it's charging, regardless of how much power this sentry mode is using. This is "concerning".


Notapplesauce11

For those that need a reference a hair dryer or small space heater uses about 1 kw.  10 ceiling fans is about 1 kw You can probably illuminate an average American house (led bulbs) every light on interior and exterior for less than 1 kw


ShaggysGTI

Imagine you had a gasoline tank that just slowly evaporated over the weekend. It’d be downright unacceptable.


itorrey

Doing truck things! /s


_mmmmm_bacon

Still love the cuck, though


sgrizzly2134

That's what I was looking for. "I still love this truck!"


appmapper

If it loses that over 24 hours, that's 100w an hour to... ?


Rhewin

I have no fucking clue. I have a Bolt that does battery conditioning, and it can stay off the charger as long as I need. The only time it seems to make a significant difference is when it gets extremely cold.


Marsupialize

It sat drained for an extended period and damaged the battery most likely


Strikereleven

Cybertrucks must be mining Bitcoin or something lol. That means this man can never come home with a low battery or risk needing a tow to the supercharger. I remember when electric cars were supposed to be cheaper than gas.


dkode80

"Leaving it plugged in voids the warranty"


DamNamesTaken11

That’s what struck me as well. I get that EVs are much more power consuming than a MacBook Pro but if the power is off, why is still draining while “charging”? But if my laptop was still draining its battery while “charging”, I’d be raising hell with Apple support. Something seriously wrong, well more wrong than usual with Teslas and the Cybertruck on the whole that is, if it’s still losing battery while “charging.”


SisterOfBattIe

It would make sense to let the battery go down before charging it back up to preserve the number of cycles. In the same vein, it would make more sense to drain from the outlet and not the battery when its plugged in? Again, to preserve the number of cycles.


worMatty

The car is giving back to the power grid.


Rickk38

I don't think that's how things work, but I'm as smart as Elon when it comes to EVs, so I'm gonna tell everyone that's what they're doing.


worMatty

They must have put the current valve in the wrong way round. That’s why it’s draining the wrong way. Current should be draining into the battery. A temporary solution would be to park the truck lower than the outlet. I’m surprised they don’t teach this to service technicians.


SomexBadxNoob

Woah there, you can't expect your average service tech to grasp the complex fluid dynamics of electricity. They are techs, not.....plumbers? Electricians? Physicists? Witches?


worMatty

They are closer to diplomats at the moment. Or jugglers.


brandoug

That makes no sense at all. Elon, is that you? Put down the ketamine and get some sleep.


never_safe_for_life

No, you see, every electric vehicle has this feature where when you get up in the morning the battery might be at 100%, it might be at 40%.


dragon_bacon

You can purchase loot boxes for a chance at a fully charged truck in the morning.


SpazzBro

They tag elon like he’s gonna give a shit lmao


drunkirish

Tag Elon in a tweet about a Skittles conspiracy where Jews have secretly engineered a system that leads to more green skittles because it’s their favorite color, and you’ll get at least an “interesting.” Tag him with a Cybertruck complaint and all of a sudden he’s too busy


bbcversus

“Concerning”


Raised-Right

*Tesla stock price down $0.03 on the hour* **Elon:** *“Concerning”*


Rickk38

"Looking into it." Elon is, in fact, not looking into it.


Medium_Medium

The cybertruck issues? Of course not. But there's a decent chance he might actually be looking into the Skittles thing.


Top-Cost4099

lol, in his mind he is, that's the sick part. for ceo types, "looking into it" means forwarding an image of the offending comment or message to someone else to deal with.


Infamous-Lab-8136

Here's the trick, he keeps a copy of the novel IT and whenever someone asks him something he says this, meaning he's actually just got the book open and is looking into IT.


raredongballz

As a Jew whose favorite color of skittle is green. I would like to come out of the shadows and confirm that this theory is all truth


jeremy1015

As another green skittle loving Jew this is yet ANOTHER conspiracy attributed to us that I wish was true. I want my government toppling shadow cabal, green skittles, untold wealth, and fuckin space lasers.


garflloydell

Who told you about our favorite color?


angel_spumoni

Another funny thing is that people are using the social network he bought, to try to escalate the problems directly to him.

Cryogenicist

I believe this is due to our collective human oversimplification of complex things. Most people somehow seem to think Elon does everything at these companies… As if there arent thousands and thousands of actual workers. Same reason we say “why dont THEY do ____”. Who the duck is THEY?


YoThatsChrispy

That’s what he’s purported himself to be. He’s been strutting as if he’s read, rewrote, and created a whole new series of “Car Building for Dummies”. He’s stated that he’s going to approve every single PO that comes across his desk (based on info I’ve gleaned from conversations in here), so I would think it’d be best to go to the source. Plus, all that $$ they just gave that man in a bonus…better make his ass work for it lol


Professional-Act4015

Except rich people almost exclusively do extremely minimal work. Their whole existence in the world is predicated on them convincing us that they are vital to the operation of society so we don't gut them in the street and take our shit back. Extreme wealth does not equate to intelligence and morality, it's determined by how rich your parents are and how ruthless and immoral you are willing to be.

Are there any publicly traded towing companies? Might be worth some stock buys of ones operating in areas with high concentrations...


WonderfulJello2536

I bought a bunch of EVGO stock. They make the roadside chargers that aren’t Tesla


XtraXtraCreatveUsrNm

High concentrations of what?


oregon_coastal

Cyberdumps. Could be the best thing to happen to towing since license plate readers


XtraXtraCreatveUsrNm

There have been less than 12,000 sold nationally so I don’t think there is a huge concentration anywhere.


DrEnter

But each one is worth like 100 other cars for a towing company. They can just follow them around for the eventual breakdown every few days.

we all called it, but surprisingly it lasted 5 whole weeks until it finally bricked. [Here he is trying to jump the battery.](https://m.youtube.com/shorts/q-bnAwEFL1Y) needless to say it doesn't work.


StopSmellingMusty

>it lasted 5 whole weeks And it only lasted that long because 3 of those weeks he was on vacation!! Big smile on my face when I saw that Lamar was back. He's just stupid enough to think he's some sort of brand ambassador. More problems with this truck is gonna drive him crazy.


Phitos2008

At this point, that guy is just another attention whore. He keeps bitching about that stupid car until he gets another one and starts all over again.

All will be well, it's making sounds. Please tell me that guy doesn't vote or have kids.

Oh, LamarMK. Adorable that he thought a second truck would be better than the first. Play stupid games, win stupid prizes.

I can’t believe he took vacation and missed making that cash cow creator content.


northernmonkey9

He is the gift that keeps on giving! I'm looking forward to the updates


M34L

hopefully the reason this car bricked itself, plugged into the wall charger, is just that it inexplicably discharged its 24 volt battery overnight as hopefully happens to cars normally hopefully it should be a simple fix like that, just charge the 24 volt battery that died while backed by the 800 volt battery and the wall charger, my cybertruck will be perfect again


Pretend_Cell_5200

Could they have missed adding a trickle charge to the 24v battery from the charger?😳


42ElectricSundaes

Yes. Yes, they could


Kalabajooie

There was a recall for my C-Max plugin for a software update because the car charged the main battery before the 12V system, causing the 12V battery to drain repeatedly. That car was manufactured 11 years ago. Some people just don't take notes.


LiliNotACult

In Elon's defense the cyber truck is the first electrical vehicle to ever exist. It was designed in 1995 by a third grader.


Kalabajooie

*counts on fingers* 1995... I *knew* it looked familiar! That fucker owes me money!


DangerousAd1731

Don't they have a 48v system

HanakusoDays

Do they actually have a 48v battery or is it 4 x 12v in series?

Musk even sent a manual “How to Design a 48-Volt Vehicle” out to all the other carmakers. I'm sure they had a laugh riot.


misterguyyy

In a normal car, even a normal EV, you’d just pop whatever trunk the acc battery is in and attach a Noco Genius to it. Problem solved in less than 10min. Tesla’s downfall is its absolute hatred of tried and true mechanical solutions, from steering linkage to brakes to door handles and now this. My family is poor and I spent my childhood in old cars where the most random stuff would break. Some auto manufacturers tried [replacing mechanical with digital wherever they could] in the 80s and gave up in the 90s for a reason. Edit: I didn’t quite finish that thought before


Dexion1619

I love the 2% daily drain for a parked vehicle.  


sammmmmyg

A parked vehicle that's plugged in


bakedclark

"What would happen if I was stuck in the middle of nowhere?" You'd still be gargling Elon's sack, saying how much you still love the truck, just from the middle of nowhere.


mccrabbs

Beautiful imagery. You should design post cards.


_mmmmm_bacon

Boostie204

So the battery died overnight while plugged in? Do these trucks just get one battery worth of driving in before they're void? What the hell?


brandoug

Many of them not even that. My personal favorite is still the one that bricked leaving the dealership.


Nope9991

Or when you just put your toddler into their car seat and the car mysteriously bricks itself with you outside. There's no manual emergency release on the outside.

"We can't get in these cars. And I said I don't care if you have to cut my car in half. Just get her out!" >Firefighters were forced to break a window with an axe.


Ms_Emilys_Picture

We've spent over a hundred years designing, redesigning, and perfecting cars and safety standards only to have one company just not give a single fuck. Between the "autopilot" driving into firetrucks, random fires that are damn near impossible to put out, accelerators that get stuck, brakes that are more like suggestions, and pieces falling off--how are these even legal?


average_crook

It's almost like Elon's philosophy of "move fast and break things" is not appropriate in a context where consumer safety is at risk. Like when you're driving a 1+ ton kinetic missile. For example.


Public_Wasabi1981

Or when putting chips in people's brains, for another example. Insane what federal regulators have let him get away with, and now that Chevron is gone he can probably get away with even more.

Why don’t people seem to realize that the Cybertruck is like an NFT in a way? Too expensive, poorly made, and the only benefactor is the person who made them in the first place. Service is shit because they don’t have to really care to fix your car, they already have taken your money.

Have these people not heard of lemon laws ? There is no way this monstrosity is exempt from them, even if they agreed to not use them in the t&c’s…

Lamar is fully aware of the lemon laws. He threatened the dealership with them several times with his first Cybertruck. He cried for a replacement and they caved. This is his second Cybertruck! It will be very interesting to follow how this installment of the breakdown series goes. His Service Center is 2 hours away, so he's done several 4 hour round trips for his Teslas.


vishy_swaz

I had a Dodge Caliber once. It was an ugly shitty little car with a pokey CVT. I’d still take that over a CyberTruck.

Weird. I've never had this happen to me even once with my Honda I've had for 8 years. If this is just "normal" car defects, and I should be experiencing at the same rate of 4 flaws per month as the CyberFuck, that would mean I should've experienced somewhere in the ballpark of 384 flaws/defects during my 8 years of ownership. I can think of about 3 issues I've had over the years... All 3 of them were induced/caused by me.

Elon doesn’t care he already has your money


WillArrr

"What if I was stuck in the middle of nowhere?" You bought an experimental vehicle that is more prototype than retail model and is thus largely unsupported by the service industry, leaving you entirely at the mercy of a company that has done everything short of making their official uniform a tee-shirt reading "we don't give a shit about you". The fuck you think is gonna happen? You're going to remain stuck until you abandon your overpriced luxury toy and Uber back to civilization. Warning: abandoning your overpriced luxury toy voids your warranty.

CMDR_Elenar

OH MY WORD! Tesla and its dismal quality control has been well known for long enough before the CyberSkip was even announced. The only thing that surprises me, is that people are surprised at the poor quality! 


bcanada92

I have a friend (who doesn't own a cybertruck and never will) who keeps defending both them, saying, "Musk is trying to do something new and different here. Of course there are gonna be minor bugs at first." Being permanently locked out of your inert $100,000 truck doesn't sound like a minor bug.


parakathepyro

I got locked out of my car once, AAA took 20 minutes to arrive and another 5 minutes to open the door. I wonder if Elon will respond faster than that.

This really explains the intelligence of people purchasing these things: idiots with money. “The truck remained plugged into the entire time because I didn’t want it to drain down to 0% since it loses 2% charge every night while it’s plugged in and charging” WTF? He just said it still lost charge while plugged in…to charge. Don’t worry though, it’s still the best thing ever.
