Turns out you can caused a Tesla Cybertruck to burst into flames and burn to the ground. just pull it in the wrong direction. No, I’m not kidding. It’s right there. Cybertruck user manual in “Guidelines for Carriers.” For A truck designed to go anywhere and do anything.I feel like pulling it the wrong way wouldn’t have such dire consequences.
But alas, it did. Basically, you have to flatten a Electric Truck whenever it has a problem and can’t be driven. If you don’t, it will not only damage the car – like what can happen to some AWD Vehicle – it can actually lead to pretty serious overheating. That’s the best-case scenario. Here’s the worst-case scenario, according to Tesla: “In rare cases, extreme overheating could cause surrounding components to catch fire.” Not something you want in your $120,000 future truck. It also turns out that improper towing can void your warranty. Cool!
Do not transport Cybertruck by any method not specified by Tesla. Follow the instructions provided here and comply with all warnings and precautions. Damage caused by improper transport of the vehicle is not covered by warranty.
Basically, the only way you can pull a Electric Truck to make sure it doesn’t explode on a flatbed. Don’t worry, though, Tesla says it can face either way on the truck bed itself.
To make towing more dangerous, more painful Cybertruck OwnerThe instructions indicate that if there was an accidentboth high voltage and low voltage components in Electric Truck may be “invaded”. Therefore, you must wear PPE until emergency rescue team can come and make sure the truck doesn’t electrocute you. Here’s what the manual says with a big “Warning” label on it:
Cybertruck is equipped with high voltage and low voltage components that could be damaged in a collision (see Electric Vehicle Components). Before transporting Cybertruck, it is important to assume that these components are energized. Always follow high voltage safety precautions (wearing personal protective equipment, etc.) until emergency response professionals have evaluated the vehicle and can confirm that all high voltage systems are no longer energized. Failure to do so could result in serious injury.
Listen, I know. Electric Truck It is not the only vehicle in the world that can only be towed by a flatbed because otherwise it can be damaged, and I know it is not the only vehicle EV in the world with a complex electrical system. But, Elon Musk And Tesla has been marketing this thing as the most durable and powerful truck ever, and it seems like every day we get more and more evidence that it’s far from that. In fact, Electric Truck is becoming extremely fragile.
