After just a couple of months and
a few thousand miles of ownership,
Tik Tok user @captian.ad’s Tesla Cybertruck was effectively
a several-thousand-pound paperweight for several hours. After taking his truck to the beach and stopping off at a car wash to clean it up, he parked the truck in his garage,
where it decided to just stop working for a while. The screen, which runs all functions of the truck, went black,
and wouldn’t respond at all, even after performing the factory prescribed reboot procedure. Not great.
After filing a ticket with Tesla to get the truck rebooted, the Cybertrucker went to bed and
woke up the next morning to a mostly functional truck. A call with Tesla confirmed that the truck had needed a complete reboot which took over five hours of sitting to complete. From the moment he’d initiated the reboot method of holding down two steering wheel buttons, the truck was apparently working on a reboot until some time in the middle of the night.
