Despite all of the complaints from idiots like myself about the Cybertruck, there are still some who chose to throw their money into the stainless steel beast. Some of those people love their new polygonal ride; others are convinced that it’s trying to kill them.

For example, there were several cases in which this supposedly off-road vehicle got stuck in mud, the very thing it was allegedly designed to overcome. There was also the dude whose accelerator pedal fell off, inadvertently causing his car to floor it until he managed to bring it to a stop. The latter video was such a bad PR hit for Tesla that some are suspecting it’s the reason the company has momentarily paused sales of the vehicle.

But no matter how people like me feel about the Cybertruck, at the end of the day, it’s still something into which buyers have poured hundreds of thousands of their hard-earned dollars. As a result, one would hope that, if issues arise with the vehicle, they’d be sorted out quickly by Tesla’s repair staff.

In short: nope.

Took my CT in for Repairs, got it back with more damage...and none of the actual repairs done.

In a post on r/Cybertruck, user OverWolf2501 claims that their new car arrived with a damaged dashboard and scratches on “every single body panel.” Not a problem, he thought; he could simply take it to Tesla to be repaired. And so, he did that, and a few days later, he was given his same vehicle — somehow worse than when it was dropped off.

“I picked my truck up today, and they informed me that they accidentally damaged the dash when installing the other part of the dashboard,” wrote the OP. “They also informed me that they cannot buff out the scratches because the equipment they were sent from Tesla was not appropriate and did not have all the components.”

“I got into my vehicle and left and could not see out of the windshield because of how dirty it was from whoever installing the dashboard rubbing up against it and they just didn’t clean it off,” the OP continued. “This then made me look at the side pillars and they were coming off of the side and they will not snap back in.”

Are these issues that could happen at any repair shop? Sure. But one would hope that, for a car that costs the price of a base model Porsche 911, the company would be able to figure out something as simple as “providing their repair shops with the proper equipment and telling them how to use it.”

Other commenters claimed to have similar issues when taking their Tesla in for repairs.

“Had a cut on my dash when I took delivery of M3. They replaced the dash. The entire dash and a/c vents rattle as if they broke all the clips when putting it back,” wrote a Redditor. “Oh and they also forgot to hook back up the wire that connects the thumb drive. Had to go back for them to plug that in.”

For his part, OP says that this will likely be his last Tesla purchase. In his words, “What can I say, we live and learn.”

Hopefully his next mistake costs him less than 100 racks.
