When you buy a new car, whatever it is, all you want is to enjoy it and the last thing you expect is for it to break down. broke downBut cars can fail, like all machines, and it doesn’t matter what model it is, it can happen to anyone, however, not all manufacturers solve problems equally well.
Just ask KobraToldYa, a user from the social network X (formerly Twitter) and youtuber which premiered a Tesla Cybertruck earlier this year. He says he enjoyed his electric pick-up for the first month, but then he started to live a nightmare: he has had to take his car to the official garage several times due to multiple faults. The worst thing is that it keeps breaking down.
“I have no confidence at the moment”: he is fed up with his Cybertruck and Tesla
For years, longer than expected, the followers of Tesla They waited for the launch of the Tesla Cybertruck. The moment arrived less than a year ago and, finally, many of these fans of Elon Musk’s brand were able to buy their electric pickup truck, although they also had to be patient until they could try it out.
One of these Tesla followers who bought a Cybertruck was Cobra ToldYaHe has his own YouTube channel and is also very active on the social network X, where he shares many of his experiences with his Teslas, first with a Tesla Model 3, then with a Tesla Model Y, and most recently with the Tesla Cybertruck.
Kobra ToldYa bought his pick-up last january and premiered it a few weeks later. He chose a Tesla Cybertruck AWD versión Foundation Seriesa special launch edition that came with specific equipment and was delivered before the rest of the versions.
He paid $100,000 for it, the equivalent of today’s exchange rate. 90.000 eurosWhen you buy a car of this price, you expect it to be up to par with that price. In Kobra ToldYa’s case, you also have to add the desire he had to try this model after having two Teslas and knowing the brand well.
Well, Kobra ToldYa’s dream soon turned into a nightmare. Both through YouTube and X, the owner of this Cybertruck has told of the bad experiences he has had with his car over the last few months. He says that everything went well during the first month, but then, his pickup truck began to fail, so he had to take it to the official service to have it repaired, of course, in warranty.

Anyone could understand that a new car that has been on sale for such a short time has some fault. Of course, it is not ideal, but you trust that the brand will fix it quickly and everything will remain an anecdote. The bad thing is that this fault is not an isolated case and Breakdowns become a recurring occurrence. That’s what’s happening to Kobra ToldYa, remember, with a car that’s less than a year old.
“I wouldn’t dare to say it’s CyberSTUCK, but I’ve been to the service center 8 times in 6 months. Is it officially a technical fault?” Kobra ToldYa says in the description of one of his latest YouTube videosIn this video, he reviews some of the failures that his Cybetruck has had, he has even made a song to talk about them, and he tells of his experience.
He talks about faults in the hood, in the windshield, on the accelerator pedalon the gear selector, on the tailgate, on the doors or on the central touch screen. Some of these problems, such as the central screen, which was “dead”, he has had to solve several times. He has always taken his car to Tesla and, evidently, he is upset because the experience with this model has been very negative.
He also says he is worried about what will happen when the warranty period runs out. So far, repairs are not costing him any money, but he wonders what will happen when he has to foot the bill for the breakdowns, especially since the problems are not being resolved. In fact, he is unsure whether to keep his car, sell it to buy a newer Cybertruck or even a model from another brand.
He is also not happy with the treatment that customers who have purchased a Cybertruck Foundation Series are receiving from Tesla. They paid $20,000 more for this special edition and Many of the things that were promised to them have not arrivedsuch as the wheel covers so the wheels are completely covered or the self-parking function: “We are supposed to have special rights, we spend an extra 20,000 dollars to have some functions and we don’t have them.”
