Service Bulletin: Cybertruck Rear Subframe to Body Torque Inspection

[CactusPilot]

Thanks for the heads up..my CB is at the service center for camera and ghost wiper issues. I will ask my advisor to check if it effects my truck.

Oh man I thought the creaking was normal.

Mine makes a huge thump when I accelerate. Took it to the service center for them to make sure it wasn't anything dangerous. They did hear the noise and deemed it non critical. They are said it was something below have a service appointment next week. Pretty sure this is the remedy as that's exactly were the sound is coming from.

Picked mine up yesterday too, VIN 12xxx range and also notice it at stopped or low speed. If it’s just an otherwise byproduct it f the steering mechanism, so be it. If the “fix” is just more sound deadening, I may not bother.

I mean I feel similarly. I didn't notice it for the first few weeks, and most of the time I don't notice it because I've gotten used to it. I have a model X and it also creaks. I kind of assume its what happens when you don't have engine noise. But I dunno - maybe not!

I am VIN 5436 and of all the service bulletins I was told only the accelerator one applied to me. The rest are for earlier vin numbers including this torque of rear subframe.

the creaking comes from the center console. On mine they disassembled the trim on the console, added foam and felt tape, and reassembled. It hasn't come back in the week since I picked it up.

I have a similar issue. Annoying as heck. Have appointment on the 14th. Should be no problem for them to replicate.

This is the most annoying creak too. What service center did your fix? They tried to fix mine - I shoved a microfiber towel under the trim piece to mitigate it (works) for now

I'm in ohio so the cleveland-lyndhurst location took care of it for me

Awesome, I just wanted to be able to tell my SC who to contact for a similar fix. They replaced my panel and 20 minutes after leaving the creak was back - shoved the microfiber cloth back up under there - it's not elegant, but is it stupid if it works?

Not stupid at all. I heard some people had success shoving foam under there.

In fairness, I'm only 2 weeks out from my service appointment, so it's possible it could come back. But I think for the people who went in, had it fixed, and it returned shortly after, that their fix was to tighten the console from underneath. Where my tech didn't do that, he took the console panels off and put felt tape and foam inside of there to keep things under tension and reduce the friction.

I get about 5-6 distinct creaks (or pops) coming from the rear on every low speed acceleration and also when regen kicks in at low speed. Hmm.. I'm taking it in Thursday for them to check it out.

??? Wow, seems pretty tight!
