TESLA CYBERTRUCK 2025 WHEELS
low
My 2025 Tesla AWD Cybertruck's rear driver 20" wheel came loose, creating a loud banging noise. The wheel nuts on 2 of the studs worked finger-loose, and one of the studs broke off the hub. The truck had 9000 miles on the odometer. Tesla's service dept blamed me for improperly rotating the tires, but I had never removed or replaced them.

TESLA CYBERTRUCK 2025 VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
high
The contact owns a 2025 Tesla Cybertruck. The contact stated that while pulling into a charging station with the self-driving system activated, the vehicle stopped in front of the payment pole; however, the vehicle inadvertently accelerated through the barrier gate arm, and the arm was fractured. The barrier scratched the passenger’s side bumper. A police report was not filed. There were no injuries sustained. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 13,000.

TESLA CYBERTRUCK 2025 ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
medium
PCS2 failure. The PCS2 board manages charging and power conversion. Failures typically start by restricting home AC charging speeds (e.g., dropping from 48A down to 24A) and can eventually result in a complete loss of AC charging and a "Charging Unavailable" alert.

TESLA CYBERTRUCK 2025 STRUCTURE:BODY
medium
The vehicle's rear structural Giga Casting sustained severe structural failure, exhibiting two distinct cracks following an impact. The vehicle and the damaged casting are fully available for inspection upon request at my current location/service center. The safety risk is extreme. The Giga Casting is a core load-bearing structural component of the vehicle. Cracking in this area severely compromises the vehicle's structural integrity. If the vehicle continues to be driven, any subsequent minor impact or even routine road vibrations could lead to a catastrophic structural collapse, complete loss of vehicle control, or unpredictable battery pack intrusion, putting my life and other road users at severe risk. the structural cracks on the Giga Casting have been inspected and confirmed by the Tesla Service Center and I been told by the technician the casting is very easy to get damaged. When the accident happened the most cybertruck get damaged in the casting

TESLA CYBERTRUCK 2025 STEERING
high
The Power Conversion System (PCS) in the Tesla Cybertruck is experiencing a high rate of hardware-level failure (specifically the PCS2 module) that poses three distinct safety risks beyond the loss of AC charging. Loss of Steer-by-Wire Integrity: The Cybertruck utilizes a full steer-by-wire system and a 48V low-voltage architecture. The PCS is responsible for managing the 48V bus and charging the LV battery. A hardware failure in the PCS (common alerts: PCS2_a094, PCS2_a137) threatens the stability of the 48V system. Any sudden collapse of the 48V bus while in motion could result in a total loss of steering control and vehicle maneuverability, creating an immediate risk of a high-speed collision. Loss of Propulsion and Stranding: PCS failure frequently leads to "limp mode" or a "no-start" condition where the vehicle cannot engage Drive or Reverse. Experiencing a loss of propulsion while in active traffic or being stranded on a highway shoulder without the ability to move the vehicle creates a severe life-safety hazard for occupants and other motorists. Failure of Visibility Systems: Critical safety components, including the primary windshield wiper and exterior lighting, are powered via the 48V system managed by the PCS. Hardware instability has led to reports of these systems failing during inclement weather, severely compromising driver visibility. Tesla has implemented software bypasses (OTA updates) to allow DC Supercharging when the AC hardware fails, but this is a "band-aid" that does not address the underlying hardware defect—likely MOSFET degradation. With replacement parts on backorder for 8+ weeks, owners are forced to operate vehicles with compromised electrical architectures. I am reporting this as a systemic hardware defect that requires an official safety recall.
