My Cybertruck will not start / power on

[Gigahorse]

NOTE TO SELF: when truck loses power...don't close the door

Hadn't thought of that, could be rough if you were out somewhere and left your phone etc in the truck.

I also forgot to mention, the truck only has 72 miles on it.

Oh wow, that is super low mileage, I thought you had a couple hundred on it, hopefully they get it back to you soon and you don't have further problems.

Actually it's not. The door will not open for a number of possible reasons. The main computer has to tell it to open.

In this case, it was a power issue as confirmed by OP. Sometimes you have to use common sense and put two and two together and go with the most likely issue.

Are you using the West Palm Beach service? If so hopefully they can sort this out quickly.

Yes ??

Keep us posted on the root cause of the problem. My guess? A defective 48v battery from the supplier.

That's as good a guess as anything, but I wouldn't rule anything out at this point.

My guess is wiring between the two batteries, but a bad 48v could do it too. Although lithium ion 48v batteries are WAY more durable and reliable than lead acid 12v so would be a long shot.

Mightbe the known issue for Tesla.

On certain Cybertrucks, the ancillary bay electrical harness might not be properly secured to the Power Conversion System (PCS2), which could potentially cause the loss of Mid Voltage (MV) power. Replace the ancillary bay electrical harness.

Very! What if I was driving and it did this...

Probably the same thing you would have done if your old gas car just stopped. Try to pull to the side of the road and call for assistance.

You can thank me later

Steering doesn't work when the car loses power, car brakes when you let off the accelerator whereas a gas car will still coast and allow you to steer captain dummy.

So you wondered what would happen, thus, you don't know what would happen, yet, you now know it won't coast and won't steer? I guess it has already happened to you. And in your response, my guess with physics and inertia, it would still coast some and yea, you MAY NOT be able to pull to the side of the road and you still call for help.

You're welcome

Yea scary when an EV goes dark, a lot less control than an ICE car that just looses forward power.
