The Tesla Cybertruck is an inexhaustible source of buzz, good or bad. But we can see that since its announcement in 2019, and the start of deliveries at the end of 2023, two years late, not a week goes by without the electric pickup being in the news, most often for the wrong reasons.
Between the launch price of over $100,000 (a far cry from the $40,000 expected), the design that is dangerous for pedestrians, the body panels that are sharp on the edges, the poorly fixed finishing elements, the traces of rust (on stainless steel!), the disappointing autonomy and off-road capabilities, the poorly fixed accelerator that gets stuck, and so on, the incredible Cybertruck does not have a good press. And the owner who calls himself Cobra1 on X-Twitter is adding another layer.

No parts available
His problem? The Cybertruck he received very recently, after 5 years of waiting, has already been in an accident. Already, according to Cobra1, the accident, captured by a surveillance video, would be due to a serious malfunction of the vehicle (spontaneous acceleration, inoperative brakes), but that is another debate. The problem is that even if the driver’s insurance has already given its approval for the approximately 30,000 dollars of repairs, no replacement parts are available for a year.
In fact, we know that Tesla is currently working to increase the production rate of the Cybertruck, and finally eliminate the very long waiting list. Each available part therefore goes to a new vehicle, which a customer is waiting for somewhere. As for Cobra1, for at least a year, it remains with what is now nothing more than a 3-ton paperweight.
