Cybertruck power system failure disables home charging; Tesla avoids recall
An increasing number of Tesla Cybertruck owners report failures in the Power Conversion System (PCS), which combines the onboard charger and DC-DC converter. This failure causes loss of Level 2 AC home charging, limiting charging to DC fast or restricted service mode. Tesla replaces the PCS on a case-by-case basis without issuing an official recall. Replacement requires complex labor and is costly out of warranty, though Tesla has lowered the cost to about $1,000 as a goodwill gesture, implying a manufacturing defect.
- 40.8% of 223 surveyed reported PCS failure replaced under warranty
- PCS replacement requires removing tonneau cover and suspension, extensive labor
🔎 Why it matters: The PCS failure (version G, part 1777777-T2-G) impacts Level 2 AC home charging, a key feature for Cybertruck users.
📈 Upside: Tesla provides free replacements under warranty and reduced $1,000 cost out of warranty.
📉 Risk: Lack of an official recall and long wait times for parts may degrade user experience.
