Tesla Cybertruck Immediately Dies in Canadian Winter – Owner Bricks the Truck Trying to Use the Defroster, Says “In Love to Heartbroken on the Same Day”

Does Canada have lemon laws the way the USA does? Personally, in this situation I'd want my money back. Spending that kind of money for a truck that can't survive a full 24 hours it pretty bad.

Maybe he didn't see what happened to Tesla's in Chicago last year. If I were him I'd return it and wait a few more years to work out the bugs. Dead right away is a bad sign.

I found it interesting that people are spending outrageous sums of money on a vehicle that does not perform up to expectations. Well, all people seem to be doing is making alien musk wealthier. If only the truck was better looking.

Hahaha 🤣 hahaha have you tried plugging it in. Maybe blockheater needs to be on head.

Got dizzel and eat mo pussy. Or sit around and whine with the Metrosexual truck

Add Canadian winter to the long list of things the cyber "truck" can't do.

I still dont know why anyone would spend that much on THE MOST UGLIEST vehicle on the planet. I cant understate THE UGLIEST.

Really brought back memories of a similar situation with a 1978 Plymouth Horizon. Brand new, drove it home, next morning wouldn't start. Towed to dealership. two days later, the exhaust system fell off, back to the dealer. A couple days go by, won't start, choke stuck. back to dealer, On the way home, the exhaust falls off again. The story could continue but finally it was at the dealer again for the stuck choke, they called and said it was fixed, I grabbed my spare key and went and got the car. The dealership called, asked if I had the car, I said yes, they said I didn't pay for the repairs and they would have me arrested. I gave them my address, and told them that I wanted nothing more than to stand in front of a judge and read all 33 work orders I had received in the 40 days I'd had the car. I never heard from the dealership again. Unfortunately, this was before the lemon law days. Worst POS I've ever had. On the upside, been driving Teslas for 8 years now and other than changing tires and the accessory battery no other issues.

Just too many issues happening to the cybertruck. Looks like engineering needs to sit down evaluate all of these issues and start planning on how to remedy this.

Maybe they can look for an engineering job at Boeing, another company struggling at an engineering level.

Maybe EM needs to rename DOGE to dodge is in Dodge ball. Apply that to how they do things.

I saw other articles recently too where there is a shelf right below the headlight so when driving through snowy conditions, the headlight are gradually blocked.

I don't think engineering thought of any winter environments for this truck.

I picked up a brand new Subaru and within 10km, it started smoking. Had to return it right away and got another. But somehow it didn’t make the news!

Why people spend money on this junk spend as much to buy a home and I can just imagine the service cost on this crap

I've seen a couple on the road in the last few weeks.
I guess the old saying "Money doesn't buy taste" comes to mind.
Too each their own but that kinda coin for a 2 hour ride...no thanks.

Now that is amusing. The truck gods were smiting this Alberta for not heeding the commentary on electric trucks in Alberta winters.

What does bricked mean? And frunked. I speak English

I assume that heat pumps in cars work like heat pumps in residential and commercial construction. Heat pumps when used for HVAC don't work below an ambient temperature of 17 F and then require electric resistance heat. I assume Tesla has allowed for this.

The fact that the batteries went dead so fast on a typically cold Canadian winter day is no surprise to anyone living there. Even a normal gas vehicle needs to have an engine block and oil heater for better chances of the vehicle starting. Even pulling the battery out and bringing it in the house during brutally cold weather increases your normal car battery life.

Should have done his investigative homework how these EV’s work in such extreme cold.

Crummy design. A heat pump will not "make" heat below about 40 degrees F (4.4 degrees C). Below those temperatures It will make heat by using an auxiliary source like an electric heating coil, propane or natural gas, heating oil, or a heat exchanger with an outside wood furnace (as a former home inspector, I've seen all of these). Trying to defrost / warm up a car with a heat pump will draw an enormous amount of power from the battery to heat the electric coil. Dead battery. Perhaps terminally dead.

Be glad it didn't catch on fire with anyone in it.

Nice purchase you idiot!!! Hope that your HERO Mr.Musk himself was nice enough to get on the phone call and offer you a refund for that expensive TURD!!!!
