Tesla Cybertruck’s strange behavior in winter: Here’s what happened in Canada

Tesla Cybertruck, to help achieve a zero-emission transport system, has been one of the most awaited electric trucks. But it appears that real-life conditions are putting this vehicle to the final test, so much so that even extreme weather conditions.

A new owner in Alberta, Canada, had the misfortune of feeling distraught within a few hours of owning his $165,999 Cybertruck. The inability of the truck to withstand sub-zero temperatures was an issue that triggered a series of failures that triggered questions about the winter’s reliability.

As temperatures plunged to -18°C (-0.4°F), Rob could no longer use his car’s defroster and could not shift between drive and reverse gear. The truck was finally able to shut down completely. With no other recourse, Rob spent four hours on the phone with Tesla’s service team, trying different things like “charging up” the truck’s power system.

That is why, despite some temporary increase in performance, the truck could not be fully restored. Finally, he had to push it using a tow truck, which was humiliating for such an innovative car. He complained about how he spent twice the time fixing the truck as the amount of time he got to enjoy using it.

Tesla’s Cybertruck represents innovation and the desire for the future but fails the first time encountering the Canadian winter. Robert Roth’s case identifies weaknesses in its design features and function, especially in subarctic climates.

The Tesla "truck" is a concept EV Ute mate.
In the past manufacturers cobbled together
such units for publicity purposes eg shows etc.

This is an EV Truck:

Volvo has already released its 8 toner EV Truck which
i previously posted a pic of a Steggles unit delivering chucks in Brisbane.
