I know it’s fun to hate on the CyberTruck (absolutely has deserved it), but I’d bet money on this being a 12v battery issue, maybe from improper storage? Only reason I say this is that I have a Kia Soul EV and it gave me pretty much the exact same warning the other day and refused to start. Turned out the 12v battery was dead and that causes all kinds of weird stuff to happen to the electrical systems in the car. Especially considering that the entire electrical system of the CT is consolidated into one wiring harness.

Also, knowing Tesla, attempting to jump the 12v would probably void a warranty.

With modern cars having so many sensors, a dying battery can cause all sorts of weird, seemingly random issues. I have no idea it's the problem here but it's usually one of the first things I check when an issue isn't obvious. Just because the battery starts the car (or does whatever it does in evs) doesn't mean that the sensors, relays, and servos are getting the juice they need to operate correctly.

Cabin climate control system requires service.

Am I reading that right? Do you need a connection to an external service to turn on the air conditioning?

"Your concern is closed." 😂

Swastidumpster doesn't really flow. We need alternatives for the cyberclunk. Anyone got suggestions?

[-] YurkshireLad@lemmy.ca 49 points 2 days ago

Some people use WankPanzer.

[-] Tramort@programming.dev 14 points 2 days ago

Based on Grimes' tweet maybe the pegwagon?

'Deplorean' is my personal fav followed by 'Wankpanzer'

Sorry, I meant names that acknowledge Elon's nazi adoration, like swasticar.

It is definitely a computer. Things just stop working for no obvious reason sometimes.

[-] cows_are_underrated@feddit.org 12 points 2 days ago

Have you tried turning it off and on again?

[-] genuineparts@infosec.pub 21 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

Literally says on the screen "Exiting and Reentering vehicle might restore operation." I hate the future.

[-] prole 6 points 1 day ago

For fuck sake

[-] cows_are_underrated@feddit.org 4 points 1 day ago

Where does it say that? Can't see anything.

[-] Halosheep@lemm.ee 7 points 1 day ago

It's hard to see but the small notice on the left side with the warning symbol says it. The barely legible text at the bottom.

[-] cows_are_underrated@feddit.org 3 points 1 day ago

Ah thanks. I would not have been able to identify that, but makes sense.

[-] unexposedhazard@discuss.tchncs.de 16 points 2 days ago

Yeah no this is sus. How is that screen so dusty when its a new car. I mean fuck tesla, their cars suck ass, but this doesnt make sense.

[-] kyle@lemm.ee 11 points 1 day ago

Honestly I was with you, it was weird.

I did some digging and found the tweet, he's a kool aid drinking tech bro and backed up his claim with a selfie and screenshots from speaking with their support center.

Can chalk this one up to actually terrible products.

Wow so they just ship a dusty product. Thats fucking hilarious. They cant even put up the facade of quality service.

If you look closely at the second image, it looks like it still has the peelies on it. Those things are dust magnets.

[-] PunnyName@lemmy.world 14 points 2 days ago

They aren't being cleaned? You think basic maintenance is happening on those trashcans?

[-] halcyoncmdr@lemmy.world 10 points 2 days ago

As with most electronics, the most likely times for failure are shortly after manufacture and years later after use. Failures in the middle are generally rare, hence the warranty.

There are components where quality testing can only give a pass/fail so there's no way to know that it barely passed until it fails shortly after.

This isn't unique to Tesla, or even EVs. This happens with nearly all electronics. Many things can be tested more thoroughly and have lower quality limits set above what's actually required, but some stuff just can't be tested like that ahead of time.

And there's always just real life. They could have driven it home and parked near to a packrat who decided that a wiring harness looked like a good snack overnight. The car can't tell that a rat ate the wiring, it will just give generic errors for whatever isn't working right. Is that likely? No, but it is possible, and not something we would be able to tell from screenshots of the generic error screen telling the driver to schedule service.

[-] futatorius@lemm.ee 11 points 2 days ago

This happens with nearly all electronics.

This happens to nearly all complex systems. It's called the Bathtub Curve: infant mortality at the beginning of an item's life, and after a relatively problem-free interval, a steady increase in problems that accelerates once it's past its planned-obsolescence point.
