Cybertruck bricked

[scottf200]

Back with a semi-update.

Yes to clarify, I charged the frunk and it opened; appears a clip broke off. Perhaps the plastic is a bit brittle in negative 1 degrees temps...?

I got the driver-side door open. Took a while and the screen turned on. Tons of electrical errors came up (infinite errors scroll)

I had a tow guy come but he could not take the truck away. The electrical issues are preventing the truck from entering into "TOW MODE".

We tried everything in terms of charging, etc to get the TOW MODE button to activate but no go. Also, the truck is sitting on snow and ice isn't helping his confidence. The tow truck left, and he seems to be thinking about how to solve it / if he can do it.

I'm pretty patient at this point. I am 24 hours in. Last night's tow truck never came. This morning's truck didn't show either. Missed a ski day with my kids, sadly. But it is what it is and honestly not surprised to experience this once or twice.

But I am getting the feeling the Cybertruck isn't mean for the cold and snow.

To cap things off, the door won't power the window totally closed so its sitting down an inch or two! Fortunately, no snow in forecast until Tuesday :-|

Merry Christmas!

Is there a way to read the 48 low voltage battery voltage on screen?

Did the tow truck driver have a way to apply 48 volts to the battery or charge it?

if this was a ICE vehicle, first thing would be open hood, check battery voltage and jump or apply correct voltage to it.

I see no reason why not to treat this the same, but that’s coming from a retired mechanic.

Some 48V MV info in the service mode panels:
(via my thread on it in my signature)

I'm fuzzy on how the system works if you apply 28-48V to the jump post. Seems like that would directly power the 48V bus, in which case the 48V battery can't get directly connected due to likely voltage imbalance. Unless the left controller then uses its DC-DC to feed the MV battery.
Otherwise, post to start 48V bus, wake HV pack and let PCS run 48V, disconnect jump pack, PCS sets voltage to match MV battery and MOSFET gets closed...

Interesting passage in the manuals:

"If you are using a variable power supply, set the supplied voltage to a value between 12V and 16.5V or between 30V and 50V."

I make an effort to NEVER discharge below 50%

Tesla recommends 15-50% so technically you should NEVER charge above 50%

My app says otherwise...

Woke up Sunday morning, my cybertruck is dead. It had 80% battery and was plugged into. Completely dead. It’ll get towed this morning and we will see what the issue is. This is after the FSD 13.2.2 update Saturday evening.

This is troubling. Please keep us posted on anything you learn about why this happened.

Yeah I have 50% as my charge limit lol

DAM! I just found this post today. Glad they got it to the SC. Hope it is fixed quick.

Thanks! Glad it didnt happen to you when you were parking in my driveway! Ha!

Tesla Service has a general update to complete Service on Friday but I really think it is a placeholder because they havent dug in. Doesnt do much good absent the truck when I need it most this week so doesnt really matter if Friday or a month from now!

I miss it though. The ice is turning to mud and I could really use those RT tires in my life.

This is concerning. One truck totally dead, freak incident. Two trucks totally dead, concerning.

Same, start of the "50% Club" incoming

No update but my estimated completion is Jan 3rd. Sucks missing Christmas and NYE. But it’s a good laugh for everyone else at my ski resort who told me endlessly what a bad decision this was ?. Hard to defend at moment ?

That used to be called a "character building moment". It's part of the hero's journey.

Where did you get this idea from?
