I just wanted to reach out to cybertruck owners who might be having the same issue that I had. I had gallons of water Ingress into the floorboard of my truck... it was sloshing around every time I would accelerate, turn, stop... It created mass amounts of moisture to build up on the windshield. Anyways. After 3 service appointments, and no success repairing the issue, tesla offered to "buy back" my CT (foundation series) i have since repurchesed my vehicle (non fs) .

I have all my records of correspondence and would live to help anyone who needs it.

Hope everyone loves their truck as much as me!

Great news. What was the financial hit for each mile driven?

I drove it 7000 miles and they dinged me $1235... but i got to keep my foundation series credits and paid for my powershare with that. (An oversight i believe)

How do you guess the water ended up beneath the floor boards?

A seam missed a seal some place. They did pressurize smoke testing and everything and still never found the culprit. The scary thing is the tell.Tale sign was that if the car was parked overnight the interior would get about a eighth of an inch of dew on the windows... When I went in for my surrender appointment to drop off my truck.I saw two other cybertrucks with the same symptoms sitting in a ready to be delivered line. I'm extremely happy That i'm not getting a bunch of people with the same issue on here. I'm hoping It was just a isolated incident. But Seeing the dew on the inside of those two cars made me very concerned as a stockholder. But, im in it for the long haul. Tesla to 2,500 is a real possibility friends. Jump on now! Thank me later. (Do expect volatility, but patience will prevail)

Looks like the site administrator removed the canadian guys troll post. I responded with a video showing proof i have the truck. Now both posts have been removed. Great work site admin.

I'm settling a lemon case with my Hummer EV right now so I can go get my CT AWD in June (waiting to see if they lower the cost or give another amazing rate deal because 5.49% vs 1.99 is a lot and I can wait fortunately)

I used an amazing law firm to handle my lemon case, they charged me nothing because the law requires the manufacturer to pay the firm outside the plaintiffs settlement. Just waiting on the date where I drop it back off at the dealership.

Still deciding if I want to Vinyl Wrap and save $ or go with PPF. Part of me wants some idiot to try to vandalize it so I can use a tazer or my HK45c as a deterrent lol.
