Ongoing Air Suspension Issues with CyberBeast – Compressor Overheating, Cycling, and Pressure Drop

[Dynamo1126]

Hey everyone,

I’m posting to see if others have experienced similar issues with their Cybertruck — particularly the CyberBeast variant — and to share my situation.

My Vehicle:

• CyberBeast (Tri-motor)
• Delivered: Early October
• Location: PA
• Picked up from Warminster Tesla Service Center Nov 15 after repair

The Issue:
Since delivery, I’ve had persistent air suspension problems, including:

• Compressor starts right away even when warmed and takes 3-5 min to raise from entry to high.
• Compressor overheating after just 2–3 suspension height changes
• Constant cycling between front and rear suspension during raising/lowering, as opposed to a unified raise
• Compressor activating within seconds of lift starting, suggesting the reservoir is not being used properly
• “Gallery Pressure” reads 1.0 bar even after raising and compressor stopped, when pressure should remain in the system if sealed (Service Mode)
• Peak Pressure is 9 Bars
• Service screen warning: “Front Right Spring Losing Pressure – Possible Leak”
• Latest video shows system struggling to fill before compressor overheats again
• Previously replaced compressor and manifold — still having problems

Tesla’s Response So Far:

• Replaced compressor and manifold
• Admitted nitrogen tank wasn’t filled properly to correct pressure initially — said the site lacked the correct equipment
• Suggested I was “pushing the system too hard” by raising/lowering 3x in a row even though this norm for other vehicles with air suspension
• FTS (Field Technical Specialist) involved — no resolution yet implied it was related to nitrogen recharge
• Still no diagnostic logs or clear test results shared despite multiple requests

My Ask:

• Have any of you experienced similar symptoms — especially rapid compressor engagement, gallery pressure drops, or suspension cycling front-to-back during lifts?
• Any insight from other service centers?
• are your vehicles experiencing difficulties when they have a bed full material say 1000 pounds
• Is this a broader design or software calibration issue with the air suspension system?

Would love to hear from other owners. I’m currently asking Tesla for a replacement, not a buyback, since I love the truck — but I need it to be reliable.

Thanks in advance — happy to share videos or screenshots if helpful.

Ditto to all above. Replace compressor & manifold 3X. Currently in service with same issue. They said it was within spec but after making service tech come to vehicle vs looking at computer to actually physically see it. Hmm, that doesn’t feel correct. It should rise from entry to high in a few seconds, not 4-5 mins. They will keep over the weekend & see what Tesla says to do. Oct 24 foundation with 34,000 miles. Works great when it works. Loaner Cybertruck compressor worked great at service center. Came home with it& now it is doing the same thing. Wouldn’t risk from entry to high.

Check all pressures from service mode. Air springs along with reservoir (and gallery?) should hold pressure overnight.
Gallery will be the pressure of the last spring filled, 9 is normal. Reservoir should be higher than that.

Front right warning seems indicative.

Front/ rear alternating is nornal.

Tank/ reservoir is just air. Nitrogen is a way to get a quick high-pressure fill.

Compressor will rest after after ~3 full lower / raise events.

Off road mode seems to get tank charged to higher pressure. On a higher bar fill, it can do most of a raise quickly without compressor. With lower starting pressure, it can take a while a while to raise.
With lower pressure it will also start compressor early due to required volume needed.
