NEW PCS (Power Conversion System) Failure & Replacement News

[cyberHoward]

Is yours a newer model, and it’s had a PCS failure? I noticed yours is called a premium all wheel drive. Mine is called Cybertruck all wheel drive.

sounds like these are dropping like flies hope mine goes while still under warranty! No known issues yet vin 43xxx, 26k miles

Well, I was to have my PCS replaced on 5/4 and they rebooked my appointment for July 6 telling me the equipment is on backorder. They confirmed at minimum my PCS and harness are being replaced and they will give me the details on what version of PCS is installed. The funny part is they have now given me SuperCharging free until 7/20. I wonder what the magic is with that date. I also asked GROK about the issue and whether I will be able to us Supercharging if my entire PCS board goes down. Grok said Tesla is pushing an update to allow for Supercharging without the PCS functioning. Currently, I am still able to us my home charger at 24A. I am of course wanting to go on a 300 mile plus trip, but still concerned the truck will brick and not allow DC charging while I am out of town. I got an update, but it was the latest FSD from what I could tell.

I think my favorits are the HEXFETs.

I prefer the BobaFETs

I think they are setting 90 days (3 months?) of free supercharging from the date of first service contact.

Is the new replacement really different and fixing the original issue or it's just the same that will fail again eventually?

It's revision G so it's different, whether the changes are sufficient?

Charging stopped overnight and u got the dreaded error message. I tried to schedule an appointment but they pushed it back until the end of June! I can’t believe they haven’t produced enough of these and stocked their service centers!

Well finally happened to me.
7k VIN AWD

I was hoping to last a few more months until part availability was better. Still charging at 24 amps, but who knows for how much longer. Scheduled service but service team messaged me saying no parts in stock and they would reach out when available.

Been a little disappointed with all the problems, but there's no other option. It's not possible for me to buy a car without FSD anymore, and I'd like something bigger than model Y.

We need this in a 4" sticker that we can put on a magnet and on our cybertrucks. LoL

PCS failure 5/14. Appointment set for 7/6.

I was able to charge at 24 Amps at home since 5/14 but that stopped also last Monday.

Not being able to charge at home has been a huge pain.

Don't know if this means anything... I haven't had any issues. I charge 100% at home.
I just saw on the Tesla phone app that I had Free Supercharging through some day in September.

Why?

Did my truck pop an error I didn't see?

Did the power blipping off several times this weekend make the truck think it was having charging problems?

(I had Powershare set up on the house but we are moving and that thing is coming with us!)

Check for alerts under service mode. Partial failures may not show up on normal UI.
Also try charging at 48A.

At this point it would be better to have a "My PCS survived" sticker for the people who haven't failed yet lol

But then we'd (likely) end up needing to turn in our OG PCS cards.... and that would be sad ...

I made my first appointment for the PCS failure on March 27th, scheduled for April 23rd. Part wasn't delivered so rescheduled to May 28th. Part still not delivered so rescheduled to June 22nd. Communications today revealed that the part still isn't delivered and it doesn't seem like anyone knows when it will be or where I am in the parts queue, or even if there is a parts queue. Has anyone been waiting for more than 3 months for this repair?

What frustrates me is that I'm reading about some people waiting only a few weeks and getting a repair. Also new vehicles being pushed out, but I'm waiting for three months for a part in a vehicle actively in production with no communication other than my monthly reschedule?
