Tesla recently announced that some owners of the Tesla Cybertruck owners in the US will receive a new engine at their next service appointment - completely free of charge. This upgrade is aimed at improving the efficiency and reliability of the vehicle.
Free engine swap for better drive
Since the Cybertruck went into production almost a year ago Tesla has been working continuously on optimizing its electric pickup. As part of this Tesla has now contacted some owners of the early production models. They have been informed that their vehicle will be fitted with a new motor at the next service appointment. Both the powerful "Cyberbeast" with three motors and the all-wheel drive model with two motors are affected by this upgrade.
Reasons for the engine swap
Although Tesla does not give any detailed reasons for the engine swap in its announcement, it is assumed that the company wants to prevent potential problems with the first units of the Cybertruck produced. Some customers have reported loud operating noises and vibrations in certain driving situations. The upgrade could therefore serve to rectify these problems and improve the overall performance of the vehicles.
In addition, it could Tesla want to use this measure to randomly examine the wear and tear of the engines used at the start of production. This could help to determine whether an official recall is necessary.
No safety concerns
Tesla emphasizes that there is no danger from the current drive system and that the affected Cybertrucks can continue to be used safely. The engine swap is only being carried out as a proactive measure to improve vehicle quality and increase customer satisfaction.
Conclusion
The free engine upgrade for the Tesla Cybertruck demonstrates the company's commitment to continuous improvement and customer satisfaction. Tesla remains true to its policy of driving innovation and improvements even after the market launch of its models. Cybertruck owners can therefore look forward to even better performance from their vehicle.
