It's the ever popular "stamp their tiny feet and hold their breath" crowd. We all knowingly bought a vehicle chock full of new technology. To expect zero issues is a good example of not understanding the Cybertruck risk/reward proposition. The cries for the NHTSA nannies to step in are incredibly naive. I think Tesla is handling this as well as can be expected and owners are responding like people do. Some rational folks who are cool calm and collected and then there are the pants on fire segment who of course are very vocal. As Pete Townshend queried, who the f*** are you?
I have an FS Beast (August 2024 build) with 24k miles and it has not happened to mine yet (knock on metal). I only supercharge on long trips. I have a Homeshare backup system. I regularly charge to 100%. I have a long road trip planned for June so I'm a bit nervous.
Good luck friend. The last thing I would want is to have the PCS problem happen on any kind of road trip, especially in states with fewer superchargers and service centers. I am thinking Wyoming and Utah in the west as I have driven both of them and finding superchargers is already an issue there in the winter (reduced mileage).
Thanks...I'm heading to Canada, so even worse SC coverage I would think.
The ACJB connects/ switches the outlets, charge port, and PCS DCAC modules. If the Christmas lights were on while you were charging, the ACJB might have an issue.Figured I’d drop a proper update since this truck continues to refuse a normal existence.
For anyone keeping score... Yes, this is the same CheddaTruck that had its odometer reset like it was trying to wipe its criminal record. So naturally, things have only gotten more normal from there.
About a year ago (around 20k miles), I had it plugged into shore power, nothing turned on, no outlets enabled, just sitting there minding its business… except the Christmas lights I had plugged into the 120V outlet were glowing!! Not flickering, not barely-there ghost voltage—actually mostly on, like the truck decided it was time to celebrate something.
Took it to Tesla, they verified it, compared it to another truck, and told me “slight residual voltage while charging is normal,” which is apparently the technical term for your truck is a little haunted but in a festive way.
Fast forward to now (~50k miles), and I’ve got a PCS failure... charging is cut in half, and, conveniently, so is my onboard AC output. Which is funny, I was just told the outlets are just low-voltage AP system stuff and not really tied to PCS like that.
Doesnt the PCS convert AC to DC to charge the HV battery and is the same unit that converts HVDC to AC to power the plugs/powershare? or AM i wrong?
So either my truck is the greatest coincidence generator ever built, or that earlier “totally normal” electrical behavior might have been trying to tell us something. I’m not even trying to argue schematics anymore, I just know the truck was doing electrical things it shouldn’t have been doing while it was under warranty, and now the part responsible for power has decided to half-retire right after I crossed 50k. Timing is incredible.
Curious if anyone else has seen outlets energizing while plugged in, weird AC behavior during charging, or PCS issues after earlier quirks, because if not, I’m ready to accept that CheddaTruck is just built different… and possibly possessed.
They're pushing an update that will allow them all to supercharge after the failure. And giving free supercharging. But it's Tesla, so it's going to take a few weeks to roll out I'm sure.
absolutely spot on. could also be a case of a vendor not delivering the specs Tesla agreed to, like the cant-rail glue.
