The latest update to the CT provides a new 3D Wiring and connector tool in Service Mode+ and here’s a short video I created showing some of this: This is a great addition to the cool features Tesla has already delivered to SM and I hear that there’s a lot more to come! The connector and...

During normal operation the vehicle acts like a FWD. Tires should be rotated around 6k mi. It’s also a good idea to measure across the tread to potentially identify alignment problems.

Thanks for sharing this. Any chance that you can also share the list of alerts via service mode?

If they are up to speed on all the requirements then they can do it but I would be surprised if this was true. One of the early steps in the process: Via TBX3 > >Actions >PROC_TAS_X_CALIBRATE-RIDE-HEIGHT What this means is that they need to have Toolbox 3 and a DOIP cable. There are no...

Haha, that's a 12k# lift!

Many vehicles leave the factory with alignment values non-ideal for best tire wear. I put my CT on the alignment rack at about 600 mi and found that both the front and rear toe values were out of spec. The proper procedures for alignment require many steps that need to be carried out in order to...

It may be nothing, can you tell me if the vehicle is misbehaving? If you can duplicate this, try pressing on the brake pedal. This may wake up the steering system and turn that object from yellow to green.

A big diagnostic related update rolled out to the Tesla Fleet recently with 2024.38 and it has positively affected the Cybertruck! New with this release: Service History Panel - allows service personnel to record service events. Drive Unit Panel - Useful for analyzing and isolating conditions...

I just completed a 900mi trip from LA to the Bay Area and FSD definitely made the drive extremely nice. One issue I had where the vehicle was lining up to exit the freeway and the off-ramp was backup up leaving my vehicle hanging its ass off into the lane. I intervened as I was observing the...

Highly plausible, any loss of HVIL (High Voltage Inter-Lock) or insulation issues will result in disablement. The cable they will be replacing will require removal of the battery pack (big job) unfortunately. Hopefully this will be successful and you'll be back on the road soon.

Fyi, many of the faults will clear after a power down (exit the vehicle and screen off) and on the next power up, if the condition isn't present. Intermittent connectivity problems might resolve themselves temporarily. However, when a fault occurs and messaging advises on pulling over, once you...

Wow, sorry to hear that. These errors stem from an open circuit being reported on the High Voltage Interlock (HVIL). Cybertruck uses a new methodology for determining HVIL faults where is is no longer a series connection along each HV device and now used HVIL over CAN. Nevertheless, this is...

In my shop we deal with rodent damage all the time. Our latest defense recommendation doesn’t smell ? good but it’s effective and that is to deploy “Fox Urine”. This can be sprayed on the vehicle and around your property where the vehicle is parked.

Bummer, so if they replaced the etherloop harness (flat cable) I believe they also had to remove the seats and carpet. I've read that the early vehicles had the harness routed in a way that passengers feet sound push on the carpet and cause connectivity issues with that cable. Good to know what...

I'm assuming that this solve the disc storage issue as well? Thanks for sharing the followup.

From the look of your fish-eye camera the inside of the windshield may be fogged. This happens on new vehicles as the interior components off-gass and can cause this hazing. It shouldn't be too difficult to pull down the covers and clean this area, just don't spray anything on the cameras...

Sorry to hear about your troubles and I haven't had any camera issues on mine. I'm an independent service tech and could remote into your vehicle and have a look to see if there are any clues to what could be causing this. PM me your vin and email associated with your Tesla account and Tesla...

go into service mode check the alignment offset and let us know what the numbers are.

In order to properly align, the shop will need Toolbox so that they can place the vehicle in Service Mode+. The rear steering gear will need to be placed into a center/lock mode so that a caster sweep can be performed. I aligned my truck at <200 mi and it was off a small amount and most new...

Ok thanks, always looking to gain more knowledge on these machines!
