hmmm, have you attempted the power cycle yet?

Yep, this actually happened last night. I let it sit all night unplugged as well and it’s the same or even worse this morning. Tesla is on their way with a tow truck now to bring it to service.

There have been rare occasions with Model 3's or other Teslas where the 'Contactor' assembly fails. The contactor has relays/contacts to switch between direct path DC when at superchargers, or route through an AC/DC converter when charging at wall connectors. This type failure is typically indicated if a Tesla will charge at wall connectors, but unable to charge at superchargers, or vice versa (i.e. charge at one but not both).

Let's hope the Contactor units in Cybertrucks are not of a defective batch or design. However even if that were the case, it would not be too difficult to remedy going forward. Now THAT, would be a genuine case for a (real) 'Recall' item - if contactor units were defective or prone to failure.

Charge that bad boy and see. It's surely strange it drained to nothing

it didn't "drain to nothing". There's 168 miles on the dash. 53% charge

This sounds like an isolated incident.

oh no! Didn't you just recently get yours?

It had 75 miles on it when this happened. I basically only drove it home.

Like others I hope it's a simple failure and you're back at the squircle soon.
