Our Cybertruck Had The Rear Motor Inverter Issue - Here's What Happened (I was surprised by the FIX)

[bryanle1]

Me too. Now they are replacing both drive units. ??‍

Maybe I'll get lucky and get them replaced too....

Add me to the list.
I too just got the turtle emoji on the screen and an alert that my rear motor has been disabled. Vin 01356 with 10.7k miles. Said ok to drive with speed limited to 65 mph. Scheduled a Sept 27th SC date.

Same here happened yesterday sub 1000 vin 8000 miles towed to service LA area

Same with mine. Rear inverter was replaced for me. Not the motor.

Same here. Rear inverter replaced. No new motor. Happened a couple of months ago. No issues since (well no issues with the motors or inverters at least- others issues popping up, but nothing major yet)

Sounds like a recall may be in the works? I would like mine replaced, if necessary, before I have an issue on the road.

New rear drive unit for me. Replaced it in about four days. I expect a recall notice as well.

CYBERTRUCK OWNERS! Watch Out! - this seems to be a very common motor failure inverter issue.

WHAT HAPPENED: Thursday night, was driving around at slow speeds and felt a THUD.
Got a warning message on the screen - rear motor disabled - max speed 65 MPH

Friday: took it to Service and got an MX Loaner - 7 seat.

Service did not have the parts in stock so they got it from another local LA store.

The surprising PART:

- They replaced both front and rear motors
- Replaced Supermanifold
+ 4 wheel alignment!

I picked it up 1 week later - (it probably would have taken shorter if they had the parts in stock)

Hopefully, this video helps set expectations and that it is a relatively easy fix!

My THUD happened last Monday, got the 7 seater Model X loaner on Wednesday, waiting to find out what’s going on. Heading there tomorrow to get some answers.

I just got my inverter replaced this week. No new motor though.

Mine just happened on the short road trip today. I will be dropping it off at the SC tomorrow morning. 9800 miles VIN 14xx

I'm guessing you all with the problems have the 2-motor version? Seems that should be the first thing mentioned, yet I haven't seen a single word about it.

@denniscw did you get the front motor replaced? I had front motor disabled, and they replaced the front motor inverter but not the front motor itself. (Was the same situation with rear one).

Now it won't install 32.20. So they're troubleshooting that.

Add another to the list.
vin in 16xx, 8,000 miles. In shop now. Estimate states rear inverter replace and alignment. No mention of motor replacement.

Why does the thumbnail of that YT video say "failure"? It sounds like it went very well. Is it just clickbait for CT haters?
