This is the dumbest vehicle to ever live, everyone driving them is having a comically miserable time and you don't have to feel bad for laughing at them because they all deserve it.

An excerpt: No heat in MN.. freezing!

Has anyone experienced an issue with no heat? Located in MN and temps are currently sub-zero.

Dropped my son off at hockey practice last night with the temp around 0.. heat was working fine. Went home for an hour and tapped the fan button within the app to pre-heat the car before picking him up. The car was freezing when I got in, fan was blowing cold air. I tried multiple settings, defrost, turned off/on, I could not get the heat to come out.

Ran into a similar issue this morning. It's currently -7 and my wife "preheated" the car before taking the kids to school. She called me on the way, I can see the interior temp is currently 13 degrees. She's not happy.

I created a service request, the soonest appointment is January 6th.. there's no way I can wait a month to get heat back!!

I’m trying to figure out if it’s just my windshield wiper that sucks or if this is every Cybertruck. I’ve seen a couple comments from folks about the wiper and the jets that shoot wiper fluid. I live in the Pacific Northwest and it rains a lot as well as the roads are just damp and dirty. What I’ve noticed is that not only do the jets not properly spray fluid over the entire windshield, But the wiper itself doesn’t really contact the windshield near the top of the wiper. It’s acceptable for the driver even though still about 30 to 40% of the viewable area remains dirty. But the real problem is that the area that doesn’t get enough windshield wiper fluid and the wiper doesn’t fully contact the windshield smears dirt across the entire camera housing area. Making auto pilot and FSD unuseable even in perfectly acceptable weather conditions. I received my truck on Dec 23 2024 with a vin ending in 039xxx

Try the drop flop... While driving about 40, reach out and lift top of the wiper from the windshield about 6 inches or so and let it flop back into place. Then, try a cleaning wipe again. I just did that this morning and it worked great.

Just reach your hand out your window at cruising speed and jiggle it, it'll be fine.

It's ok, you can just turn on FSD while doing that.
