A Tesla Cybertruck Owner Says There is a Constant Fluttering/Pulsating Noise Coming From His Vehicle – He Adds, “Tesla is Aware of the Issue, but I Was Told There Is Nothing They Could Do About It”

A Cybertruck owner from Southern California reports a constant fluttering or pulsing sound coming from his vehicle.

He says the noise is most noticeable when driving between 45 and 55 miles per hour.

The sound occurs only during acceleration or deceleration, but stops when he is coasting and not changing speed.

This issue isn't too serious, but the owner mentions he took his truck to Tesla service, where they told him there’s nothing they can do to fix it.

According to the owner, Tesla is aware of this defect; however, the EV manufacturer said that the issue is widespread and there is currently no fix.

The Tesla service technician handling the case suggests replacing the drive unit as an option, but said it’s unclear whether this would fix the issue, as the replacement part might produce similar sounds.

This is definitely not ideal, and the frustrated Cybertruck owner shared his story on the Cybertruck Owners Club forum.

He writes…

“Drive Unit Fluttering/Pulsating Noise

I noticed from day one a very annoying "fluttering" or pulsating noise that's constant between 45 and 55 mph during acceleration and regen.

It does not improve or worsen over time. It disappears when just coasting (neither accelerating nor regen).

I searched everywhere on the forum for a similar noise, but it seems like nobody else has this issue.

The service center says it's an issue, but there is no fix for it. They mentioned it comes from the drive unit, and if they replace it, there's no guarantee it will solve the problem.

Finally, the Cybertruck owner concludes his post by asking the group for help and mentions that he has a relatively new build Cybertruck with a VIN starting in the 80,000s.

He continues to write…

“Anyone else with a similar noise, or can point me to a thread that has this noise?

Any help is appreciated.

I have an all-wheel-drive Cybertruck, and the VIN is 80xxx.”

Below his post, the Cybertruck owner shared a video of a recent nighttime drive, highlighting the shaky noise his truck produces.

This is definitely not ideal, and looking at the comments, fellow Cybertruck owners share that they are also dealing with this issue.

Jeff, a fellow Cybertruck owner from Houston, Texas, says he has already had his inverter replaced twice, but the sound is still there.

He adds that the noise bothers him so much that he can’t drive his Cybertruck without turning up the radio.

At times, he’s even considered selling his Cybertruck solely for this reason.

Jeff writes…

“I've had the same noise since day one, and the service team says it is "normal"—but that doesn't mean it's not annoying.

Both inverters have been replaced, so the sound is coming from the Drive Unit, which I've confirmed with ChassisEars2.

This is my top annoyance with the truck and the main reason I am considering switching to another vehicle.

My issue is that Tesla was testing the Cybertruck for all those years while I was waiting for my truck, so why didn't this issue come up then?

Now I turn the radio up. If it wasn't for FSD, I'd have sold the truck already.”

A lot of Cybertruck owners seem to be dealing with this issue. However, please let me know what you think in the comments.
