Tesla Cybertruck Problems — All Years, Common Issues & Reliability

The contact owns a 2024 Tesla Cybertruck. The contact stated that while driving at undisclosed speeds, the sideview mirrors struck a pedestrian. Additionally, the sideview mirrors struck barriers and other objects while driving. The contact stated that the vehicle failed to detect or recognize when an object was struck and continued operating. The dealer was notified of the failure, but the vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 28,000.

The OEM off-road light bar was mounted on the top of windshield fell off. Tesla refused to fix and replace

PCS FAILURE. WILL NOT CHARGE

Vehicle stopped AC and DC charging. This could get anybody stranded. Seems to be a wide spread issues online. PCS2

I was driving my 2024 Tesla Cybertruck on the Freeway 57 southbound between 9:06 AM to 9:10 AM at about 60 mph when the vehicle suddenly steered sharply to the left without any input from me. It completed a full 360-degree spin, hit the concrete median, and then came to a stop. No other cars were involved. The truck is heavily damaged and not drivable. This appears to be a sudden mechanical or software failure. I have reported it to 911 and the police car moved the vehicle to a safe place. I have reported it to Tesla and requested a full diagnostic review of the vehicle logs.

The PCs on earlier cybertrucks has been recalled. The same issue seems to persist. The issue will not allow you to charge T home and drastically cuts vehicle performance. In addition the only way you can charge is via a supercharger which makes one wonder if this whole thing was a cash grab for Tesla to force these trucks onto their costly charging network.

This incident happens when driving home from work, it happened half a mile away from where I live on a local road. All of a sudden car lost all power, steering wheel and brake completely failed, drive train completely failed while the car was still moving. there was no way the car could be controlled to move to the side of the road or to break to completely stop it.. thankfully it coasted to a complete stop. As it was the middle of the day, there were no cars around the local road I was on. Once the car stopped everything shut off completely. There was no way to turn on the hazard lights or get out of the car either I had to use emergency exit.. car wash towed to Tesla service center where it stayed with them for a few weeks and I was told that it was PCS an ancillary auxiliary part that needed to be replaced. While searching the forums, I found out that this is becoming a problem where multiple cyber trucks have this issue going on which I feel is a safety issue as it can cause a major accident or fatalities if somebody was driving on the highway on highway speeds and this happened. I am opening this ticket to help others so hopefully a recall is done on this.

My Cybertruck’s Power Conversion System failed at 65,000 miles. I received a PCS alert, AC charging became unavailable, and the vehicle displayed charging faults. The repair required major disassembly of the tonneau, bed, and air suspension and cost 7000 because it occurred after warranty. Why This Is a Safety Defect: The PCS is a critical component that handles onboard AC charging, DC-DC conversion to the 48V system, and power delivery. Failure can strand drivers, prevent charging, and (as seen in related drive-inverter recalls) contribute to sudden loss of propulsion while driving. This Is a Widespread Issue: PCS failures are occurring frequently (“left and right”) in Cybertrucks, especially early production models. Owner forums and polls show dozens of identical failures, with some samples reporting 18–40% affected. Many owners face 2,000–7,000 repairs out of warranty. Tesla issued a limited recall for related drive inverters (NHTSA Campaign 24V-832) that can cause sudden power loss, but no recall covers the broader PCS defect despite the clear pattern. I strongly urge NHTSA to investigate this common defect immediately and require Tesla to issue a full recall for affected Cybertrucks, including free replacement of the Power Conversion System for all owners. Thank you for protecting public safety.

My 2024 Tesla Cybertruck (purchased May 2024, approximately 7,500 miles) experienced a complete AC charging system failure with no prior warning on March 27, 2026. Upon entering the vehicle, two active fault codes were present on the touchscreen: PCS2_a094 (AC Charging unavailable) and PCS2_a095 (Powershare unavailable). The vehicle was at 17% state of charge with no ability to charge via AC. Three full system reboots were performed with no change to the fault codes or charging ability. The onboard charger (PCS2 module) has failed completely. Tesla roadside assistance instructed me to drive the vehicle to the [XXX] service center — a location the vehicle could not safely reach given its state of charge and inability to charge en route. This represents a safety concern as the vehicle was effectively stranded with no viable path to charging or service without third-party transport. The vehicle is well within its warranty period (basic 4yr/50k, battery 8yr/150k) and a service appointment has been opened with Tesla. This failure occurred with no warning from the vehicle's monitoring systems or Tesla app prior to the fault appearing. A vehicle at low state of charge with a fully inoperative charging system and no prior alert represents a genuine safety risk to owners, particularly in situations where alternative transportation is unavailable.

at 46,500 miles, my AC charging dropped from the usual 48amps, down to 24amps. Then 2 days after this, my AC charging failed. This happened on 3/22/2026. I am unable to AC charge, but CAN DC charge. This is indicative of a PCS2 board failure, and this has been happening to a LOT of cybertrucks recently. It will be replaced under warranty (I hope) but so, so many vehicles are affected and there is no recall that I've heard of. It should be a recall. Thank you

Normal night charging . Morning I get into my car I have alerts PCS2 saying I can't charge anymore at home . This is a huge safety concern as it's happened to many Cybertruck owners. If we go on a trip we can literally be stranded due to range and accessibility of chargers with kids. This needs to be fixed as a constant warranty even past 50,000 miles as the vehicle is not proven and in its early years. It's not a matter of if , it's when and creates unreliability and extremely heavy repair costs for an owner not due to personal wear and tear. Clearly a manufacture recall that should be monitored for a long long time.

On December 23, 2025, at approximately 9:45 AM, I was operating my Tesla Cybertruck with Autopilot engaged under normal driving conditions. There was no inclement weather, the roadway was straight, and visibility was clear. While driving, the vehicle suddenly veered off the main roadway without warning and traveled off-road, ultimately colliding with a tree. The movement was abrupt and not consistent with normal lane departure. I immediately attempted to correct the direction of the vehicle; however, the vehicle did not respond appropriately to my steering input and felt unresponsive during the event. At no point did I intentionally steer off the roadway. The loss of control was unexpected given the road conditions and environment. This incident raises concerns about the reliability and safety of the Autopilot/driver assistance system and its ability to maintain lane control and allow driver override when needed.
