Tesla Cybertruck A/C Stops Working in the Middle of Canadian Cold – To Stop Himself From Freezing, The Cybertruck Owner Had to Drive on the Highway With Insulated Coat On

Your remark " the should have worked out these issues already". It is ok to report about a problem that an owner is reporting about, but to make it sound that every truck has potentially the same problem is not a balanced report, we are talking here about a component failure, Tesla is using heat pumps for years and all the 3 and Y are doing just fine and maybe the one or other has a defective pump, this can happen in mass produced components, just ask your friends that have switched from a furnace to a heat pump. Keep reporting but don't feed those that dislike the truck, but never owned or even did sit in one, good reporting is unbiased.

Those Teslas may run very poorly, but they are cool looking.

Why would Tesla be at fault?
This driver showed extremely bad and dangerous judgement by continuing to drive when he could not see the road properly. The fault in any accident falls to him. Pull off the road and stop driving.
Electric car/gas car same rules apply.

I hope he wouldn't run the a/c in the middle of winter that would be so Canadian like EH

These trucks will always have issues. They're really just a peice of junk

Why would he need air conditioning in the winter!?? This story is ridiculous. It would make sense if his heater stopped working but nobody uses the A/C in the winter.

You keep saying AC.
I do not think that word means what you think it does.

Really though - need to proofread what the AI pulled from the original post since they didn't say AC.

Why in the world would someone living in a cold climate area buy an EV..? They have limited range and function that diminishes with dropping temperatures. Stupid choice…

With people saying it's a first gen issue, tesla has made a number of vehicles with this same system of heating and defrosting. This system should not be failing.

This is the dude who is banking large amounts of our tax $’s to get us to Mars but hasn’t though of a redundant system to keep people here safe. Strange -N- how that works…..

So the writer of this article doesn't know the difference between A/C and heating? The truck owner clearly referred to it as heating. But the writer describes it as A/C (which is short for air conditioning, as in cooling).

Why does it matter if the a/c didn't work in the freezing temps and not turn the heater on?

What's next, a summer article of a man nearly dying in the summer heat because his heater stopped working?

If only there was some sort of small electric device that could produce heat quickly. Better even it was sold at virtually every big box store.

That said, that he should need one is laughable.

There has recently been a pause on construction of new cybertrucks ot the factory. I believe this to be a rework of the line and make changes to how the non "foundation series" trucks are made. Like let's fix all these issues on the line and start a newer version.

Stop buying this garbage nerds. They aren't trucks. They aren't quality vehicles. Stop supporting a moron.

Any self respecting Canadian driver is prepared for heater failure when the temperature drops below zero. The dude driving the cyber truck is no Canadian driver.

Saying his ac stopped working is terrible writing you he special said heat and that's what everyone uses in the winter.

Of course, Tesla fans are gonna defend that product. If you’re unhappy with the vehicle traded away the cyber trucks have had nothing but complaints where I’m from and I wouldn’t buy one if you paid me too.

I'm not a car guy, and will never be in the position to buy a Tesla. However, First Generation or not, with the cost to purchase one of those vehicles, everything should be in top working order- no excuses. Lastly, you would think that there would be a better service department, with the kind of money people are paying....the trucks aren't disposable.

Who would even think of driving in the winter with their A/C on. Hello A/C. Stands for Airconditioner. Are you kidding us. Let me guess this guy drives around in the summer with his Heater on. 🙃😃😀

Not too bright to have bought a cyber truck. They are very expensive JUNK.

Did a millennial write this? Why would the AC not working keep him from defrosting his windshield or prevent him from warming up the Tesla?

You messed up by buying a tesla cyber truck or any other kind of EV all together. EVs are a new technology that need to be out longer for these kinds of tests. And the last 10 years is not enough time for that. Despite our beliefs and differences about EVs I'm thankful to God you are safe and well.

As an owner of Tesla vehicle, I know that most of the problems can be fixed by simply calling, and it miraculously is repaired through the air! Our daughter locked herself out of the vehicle, and my husband called Tesla, and they miraculously were able to take care of it. No locksmith needed no repair job needed. This is BS!

This type of malfunction should have been debugged by engineers before it's put up for sale. I would think engineers would have tested it's towing capability uphill and downhill, drive circles in the North pole, drive circles in death valley.

Why are you people blaming the purchaser. Where are the inspectors or government agency.???? These vehicles should not be on our roads period.

"Still the best car I ever bought" lol
100k and it can't do the very basics

I wonder, if Chuanruai’s trip had ended in a crash, would Tesla have taken responsibility for the accident?

The guy consciously continues driving with a faulty, outright dangerous (impaired visibility) vehicle and you expect someone else to pick up the blame? Are you sane?

A pity he did not think to drive to the nearest Canadian Tire and buy a plug in car heater. He would have had to charge the truck a few extra times on his trip, but better than freezing.
