Bryan, a resident of Southern California and owner of a Cybertruck, reported that his vehicle unexpectedly shut down and became entirely unresponsive while he was driving on the highway.
At first, his truck sputtered, lurched unexpectedly, and came to a sudden halt while he was driving at 45 miles per hour on the highway.
Experiencing a sudden loss of power in his vehicle was already a frustrating ordeal for Bryan, but it turned out to be just the beginning of a series of challenges he would face.
When Bryan's Cybertruck unexpectedly came to a halt in the fast lane, he attempted to maneuver it to the roadside. Unfortunately, this only aggravated the situation, leaving his Cybertruck immobilized and possibly trapping him in the middle of the highway.
Luckily, Brayn managed to free himself from the truck by utilizing the manual door release for the Cybertruck.
With the Cybertruck completely drained of power, the hazard lights extinguished as well. Bryan was navigating the road at night, making it difficult for approaching drivers to notice his Cybertruck stranded in the roadway.
Bryan recounts a terrifying experience where, without the hazard lights on, he watched in disbelief as vehicle after vehicle nearly collided with the back of his Cybertruck.
Ultimately, Bryan came across a few traffic cones and attached a flashlight to them, alerting approaching vehicles about his disabled Cybertruck.
Luckily, even though the circumstances were dire, Bryan's Cybertruck remained unscathed and was not hit from behind by another car while it was stuck in the road.
Having encountered this problem personally, Bryan recommends that all Cybertruck owners keep a flashlight or flares handy, just in case they face a similar predicament.
Bryan shared his ordeal in the Cybertruck Owners Club forum.
This is what he composed…
"It could be beneficial and potentially life-saving...keep reading. Just two days ago, my truck notified me that it needed servicing (error code UI_a006). Unfortunately, the code didn’t give me much detail, and all I could do was book a service appointment, which is scheduled for two weeks from now."
I kept driving the truck, and about 18 miles down the road, suddenly, the pyro fuse for the rear inverter exploded, causing the truck to lurch violently. It came to an abrupt halt and refused to budge. This situation was incredibly perilous, as I found myself in the fast lane of a 45-mph road at 5:30 a.m., when it was still dark outside.
