Tesla Cybertruck owners on Reddit split between people who have had no trouble at all and people stuck in long service waits. Several with 4,500 to 35,000 miles say the ride is smooth, it handles real truck work and tows well, and they would buy it again. The problem list includes noisy wipers that swipe on dry days, door groans, misaligned trim and panels, cracked glass, power conversion and front drive unit failures, and one truck needing a new high voltage battery at 1,100 miles.
