A place to post your Cybertruck fails! We're here to make fun of this hunk of shit and throw as much shade as we can to that garbage bag of a human elon.

Lmao, imagine a car not working because of a software bug. That's just pathetic.
That's... Basically every car made in the last 15 years?
The worst bug I had on my car had the onboard computer not starting, and the screen remaining black. It meant I had: no GPS, no music, no backup camera, and no parking sensor.
But apart from that, the car was driving perfectly normal, and all the other features were working as expected.
My car has a 3 finger salute to force reboot the infotainment system.
Teslas also have a slaute to acess the infotainment system, except it uses the entire hand and arm

Oh apparently I have something similar (5s press on the bottom left), it might have worked
Depends on the car brand. Some kept their dependance on software quite low like Mazda. Some decided to take a risk with the software gods and tie their entire functionality to it while simultaneously laying off good workers and rehiring the lowest bidder.
My 2017 mini hasn't had anything, even resembling that?
It's got an ECU, you're 1 computer bug away from being stranded.
the thing is that most manufacturers make sure software bugs are rare in cars. i never experienced an ecu bug before.
OK, that's a sample size of one, not very useful. Most Tesla owners never experienced an ECU bug either. I've never had an ECU bug in any of my own cars, but last year I had a rental car from Opel for a few months while my car was waiting for a replacement transmission to get shipped, and in the few months I had it I experienced an ECU bug once, where the car refused to be put into gear, and the only way to fix it was to disconnect the 12v battery and reattach it
It's a fact that modern cars get more complicated electronics every year, so ECU bugs leaving you stranded will get more common every year also
i never knew anybody whos ever experienced an ECU bug before, on non-teslas. the infotainment system can have issues, but on sane cars it is separate from engine management and the electronic functions of the car that have to be reliable.
i think thats the point this post in general is trying to make.
Yes and?
This could be an ICCU failure, where the high voltage battery doesn't properly charge the 12V. I have an EV model that is known to have this issue (luckily I haven't had it happen). It can be caused by either hardware or software faults. Still pathetic though lol
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.
