A Tesla Cybertruck Owner Says His Doors Are Opening By Themselves After A Snowstorm – He Adds, “Tesla Is Blaming It On the Window Tint I Had Done 2 Years Ago”

Greg Filipkowski, a Cybertruck owner from New York, says that his truck doors began mysteriously opening on their own after a recent snowstorm.

He thinks the snow melted and seeped inside, damaging the electronics and causing this strange behavior.

Greg mentioned that this is the second time that his doors have started opening on their own.

The first time, he visited a Tesla service center, but regrettably, they blamed him, saying the issue was due to the tint he had applied to his windows two years earlier.

Greg firmly disagrees, explaining that his tint has been on for quite some time and doesn’t believe it’s related to the door problems.

The frustrated Cybertruck owner shared his concern on the Tesla Cybertruck group on Facebook.

He writes…

“So, a month after a snowstorm, my passenger door started opening on its own because the melted snow from the storm got through the cracks.

I took it to Tesla service, and they blamed it on the tints done 2 years ago.

Now we have another snowstorm, and the snow and ice are melting. Now my driver-side door is opening on its own. They will blame it again on the tints from 2 years ago. This is a total scam!”

Below his post, Greg included a picture of his Cybertruck parked in his driveway, covered in snow.

This is definitely a frustrating situation; however, looking at the comments, multiple Cybertruck owners shared that they, too, have experienced similar issues.

A fellow Cybertruck owner, Aaron Tyler Lummis, writes…  · 

Tesla consistently blames the tints. However, they broke both front windows during maintenance and replaced and tinted them, so now the tint job is their responsibility.

That’s how I outsmarted the system.

Another Tesla owner writes…

“They did the same to me with a 2020 Model Y.

I put sticker decals on the interior door release buttons because the original label was a simple line with no indication of its function.

One day, the button stopped activating the door release, and they blamed it on my sticker.

I said, ‘NO! Listen, buddy, I repair very complicated equipment for the semiconductor industry. In my 35+ years of experience, the label on the button was NEVER the part that makes the clicking noise you hear when the button is pressed.’

To humor him, I walked out, removed the $.50 sticker, pressed the button many times before the door actually opened, and then told him to make it so that every ‘click’ I hear actually releases the door.

It was a total farce, and I called them out on it.”

Tesla or any other manufacturer shouldn’t be held responsible for damage caused during modifications; however, claiming that a simple sticker was the modification responsible for the damage is indeed a stretch.

A second Cybertruck owner, Bill Victor Arucan, writes…

“I wonder if you put the Cybertruck into Carwash Mode, would it help?”

Another group member, Joshua Grygorcewicz, quipped…

"Apocalypse ready"
