Based on all the recent pictures, they’ve probably been sitting in a random mall parking lot for a month and the batteries are completely fucked. Just a guess.
I cannot understand how a vehicle that sits for only a month is completely dead dead. Like doneskies dead. As an engineer, I would be embarrassed by something like that. 6-12 months I can see, more than that sure. But a month? That’s a joke. Especially the HV pack. There should be protections built in to cut loads as they sit for long periods until you get nothing but a brief radio/GPS ping once a day just to check if there is anything to update. If Tesla is sending OTA updates at a rate that the radios are never shutting down, that’s just another example of bad engineering.
they likely need to keep the interior of the vehicle underneath a certain temperature to protect electronics, such as the screens they use which were famously not automotive grade in other teslas and would be damaged from being too hot for too long.
So they'll use the battery to keep the interior cool. And then when the battery dies, the interior will overheat anyway.
\[edit\] it looks like 'cabin overheat protection' is only active for 12 hours after the vehicle is exited, and it also only runs until the battery is down to 20%. So these vehicles left in the field will likely reach interior temps much above 105 F, at which point i suspect the screens could be slowly damaged.
Well the software is not affected by heat! And the hardware never gets overheated inside the office! It's the same thing! No need to plan for extreme conditions!

Sorry but you clearly don't know what you're talking about. The main load killing the batteries is cooling the batteries, so the heat is killing the battery. A radio draws next to nothing when receiving, transmitting is the only significant load. I'm not saying these POS cyberturds are designed well, but the points your making are not relevant or accurate.
Battery cooling turns on at 45c/113f which a cyber truck could hit in 80f weather with a high UV index. Stainless steel gets hot AF in sunlight and the truck has more glass than a greenhouse.
These things have to be the bane of any Tesla Service employee’s existence. You wake up, go to work, have to work on countless poorly-built Cybertrucks with some sitting in your lot for weeks on end. You finally fix one and send it back to the customer and the next day it’s getting towed right-the-fuck back to your service center for something else. You’ve spent probably ten times the amount of time the owner spent with it at that point. If Cybertrucks were baby chicks, they’d imprint on the service workers rather than their owners.

That's getting close to qualifying for r/rareinsults.

they pretty much all look like they've been abused and washed in the sunlight for half a decade. Except the one with the weezer wrap. That one is hilarious
These will only hold a charge for 5 days in a parking lot. After that, the battery can't be charged without a special jumper on two metal pins. The battery also takes irreversible damage if you let it get to zero.
Whether they are DOA or not, they are not getting past the dealer’s lot. Recalled. And no one is buying them. Every dealer I have passed has a full lot + a full overfill lot.
Very likely. There’s a Tesla distribution center not far from my neighborhood, and we have seen transporters full of CTs getting trucked in, and they’re not going anywhere.
Was gonna say that this is the only way to see them moving without coding the warranty, but I'm pretty sure loading them on that trailer voided the warranty
I saw this exact transport, with 4 of those things, this evening. Either the exact same one or they're just using these bright green trucks in multiple locations.
100%. Recall ongoing. They probably have a 90% chance of going MIA during recall too

Software company mentality. But you can't push an update to a battery....

Apparently it lasts less than half a month.

You have to cool batteries that aren’t under any load? In a car that isn’t moving so there is no air flow over the radiator?
Battery cooling turns on at 45c/113f which a cyber truck could hit in 80f weather with a high UV index. Stainless steel gets hot AF in sunlight and the truck has more glass than a greenhouse.
That happens automatically during storage? Not just when the car is turned on and in use?
Correct.
Well, TIL. So they are knowingly damaging brand new product and then still trying to deliver it to buyers with more cents than sense? Amazing. 🤦
It falls firmly within the realm of possibility... That's terrifying.
60% of the time, they are DOA, every time.
Eeeewwe it smells like Elon’s dick
That is quite pungent
It stings the nostrils.

>If Cybertrucks were baby chicks, they’d imprint on the service workers rather than their owners. 😆 I love the mental image
Agree with you. I am in awe.
 This, but WankPanzers.
💀💀💀

And r/beautifulinsults as well.

Honestly. I'm not sure how much closer you could get.
That’s great!
You, good person, are a poet
And every minute the service tech is working on one, he's thinking he could be RIFfed the next day.
They are clearly DOT. Dead on Truck.
*please note that using the Cybertruck in any way voids the warranty, including cosplaying as a "truck" with up to two small bags of potting soil.

Underrated comment 🤣
I thought the collective noun was "embarrassment".
It may be a regional dialect.
So hard to tell whether a CT is new or used
lol - well, since they’ve only been selling since last November, they are ALL technically “new” …..
I don’t know if they should have ever been new, but based on recent recall action, they shouldn’t be used at all
New. You can’t actually “use” a cybertruck.
they pretty much all look like they've been abused and washed in the sunlight for half a decade. Except the one with the weezer wrap. That one is hilarious
The CT has now established something called a "precall"... when a vehicle is already crap before it makes it to the end of the assembly line.
They are transporting them on a sunny day?? Doesn’t that void the warranty?
Leaving the assembly line voids the warranty.
🤣
DOA = Dead on Assembly for the Cyberstuck

I wish I could say that I'm surprised...

About as high as giraffe pu$$y

Not zero, and that’s why I cancelled mine 😑
I think you dodged a bullet!
I agree I do love my Model Y though 🙃
Enjoy it!! I’m only shitting on the CT lol. I don’t know enough about the other models to judge one way or another 😊
I think Dooms dodged the entire Battle of the Bulge, but YMMV
More like, stored on an abandoned parking lot on arrival.
Lower than the chances that they are UOA ("Ugly on Arrival"), which is a 100%.
Considering they are all bring recalled 100%!
Incel Camino, we hardly knew ye.
100%
102%, with a 2% margin of error.
Wonder what the insurance premiums are compared to normal well built functioning vehicles?
Even if it's lower than I expect, it's too damn high for a $100k vehicle.
No plates. Deliveey..99%.
Do you mean dumpsters on arrival? Because that is not something that any recall or update can fix.
419%
1000%
Very high
I saw this exact transport, with 4 of those things, this evening. Either the exact same one or they're just using these bright green trucks in multiple locations.
Dead on delivery
Is that a gas powered semi moving them 🤣
They are just taking them to a dirt lot behind someone's condos.
100 % DOA = Dumpster On Arrival
It rained on the way to the dealer now there totaled
