A Tesla Cybertruck Owner Says He Was Forced to Drive His Ram 2500 to Work After His Cybertruck Died Unexpectedly – He Adds, “After Installing a New Software Update, the Cybertruck Magically Returned to Life”

Hicksta, a Cybertruck owner from California, says he left his truck parked in the garage for a week, only to have it suddenly die.

Hicksta says he went to check on the Cybertruck when he got a notification saying the tire pressure was low.

Apparently, a nail had punctured the tire, causing it to leak slowly, so Hicksta filled it and got in to drive.

However, when he shifted the Cybertruck into drive, it began displaying multiple error messages and could no longer be driven.

Hicksta shares his experience on the Cybertruck Owners Club Forum.

He writes…

“Truck dead, then resurrected: low-voltage error

Yesterday morning, I went out to my truck after it had been sitting since Christmas Eve, roughly one week.

I'd gotten a message that the rear tire pressure was low (it appears a nail had caused a slow leak). I refilled the tire, then jumped into the truck. The battery showed roughly 50%.

However, when I went to put it into drive, I got a plethora of error messages.

Active codes showed as:

• Rear steering axle disabled - Turning radius limited. Exiting and re-entering the vehicle may restore the feature.
• Power reduced. Exiting and re-entering the vehicle may restore the feature.
• Low-voltage electrical system issue detected. Vehicle power reduced. Schedule service.
• High-voltage system error detected. The vehicle may not restart. Service is required.

Additionally, the log showed the following codes:

• The cabin climate control system requires service. Cabin heating/cooling is limited or unavailable.
• Air pressure is below the recommended level for tires. Check pressure or refill tire as needed.
• Windshield washer fluid is low.”

Hicksta continues to write…

“I tried to reset the computer and then performed a hard reset using both steering wheel buttons, but it did not work.”

This is definitely concerning. Hicksta mentions that, with his Cybertruck facing major issues, he tried to schedule a service appointment at Tesla.

Regrettably, Tesla informed him that the earliest available slot was in two weeks.

Hicksta says he was frustrated by Tesla’s response. However, thankfully, he has an old Ram 2500 at home, and he used his internal combustion truck to get to work.

Hicksta continues to write…

“The Cybertruck would not drive, so I scheduled a service appointment through the app—14 days out! Not very impressed, given the vehicle was inoperable.

Thankfully, I still had my old Ram, so I took it to work.”

Having to rely on your old Ram truck when your state-of-the-art Cybertruck falls apart out of nowhere is frustrating.

However, Hicksta says that the next day, a bit of a miracle happened. After he got back from work, he saw that a new software update was available for his Cybertruck, so he decided to install it overnight.

At this point, since the Cybertruck was already undrivable, he thought he had nothing to lose.

What is surprising is that the next day, Hicksta tried to move the Cybertruck a bit to create more space in his garage.

However, when he started the vehicle, lo and behold, all the error messages cleared, and the Cybertruck became drivable once more.

Hicksta continues to write…

“By the time I got home, I'd received a notification that the truck had the 2025.45.7 update available. Figuring I had nothing to lose, I plugged in the truck and installed the update overnight.

Fast forward to this morning. I went out to the truck, hoping to limp it out of its spot so I could reach the garage. Magically, all the active codes cleared. The truck was drivable. I put 60 miles on it today with multiple stops, no problems.”
