2nd PCS2 failure

[mongo]

It's not a widespread issue, but there have definitely been some PCS failures in other models; mainly the Y since that's the highest volume vehicle (for now).

Our issue is unique because we can drive 40 amps at 240 volts while having to power a brand new v48 system bus.

Yep, though it's worse: 48A at 240V from an 800V pack using a new topology

I have really enjoyed my Cybertruck--the best vehicle I've ever had. Considering that and that it's paid off, I wanted to keep it for several more years (or until Tesla brings out a proper SUV). This post is really having me reconsider things. My PCS2 just went out now (38,000 miles), and fortunately I'm not going to be stuck with the repair bill because I'm within the warranty period.

But what happens if it goes out again out of warranty? I'm almost certainly going to be out of warranty by the end of the year due to the amount of driving I'll be doing for the remainder of the year. That's going to be an expensive bill, and it's going to make me reevaluate my statement "the best vehicle I've ever had."

Tesla only charges $1K to replace a failed PCS out of warranty. If that's expensive you had better not buy a gas car!

Welp, just got my 2nd PCS2 failure. At least this time I still have 24amp AC charging unlike last time where it shut the whole truck down. :/ SC says backlog is still really long.

Edit: 30k miles and almost 2 years of ownership. First failure was on day 3 of ownership at 500 miles.

Me too! Mine only manifest itself by disabling the Tonneau and tailgate switches, apparently, which is why I contacted service. Their virtual analysis showed PCS failure.
