The Tesla Cybertruck has hit a bumpy road since its debut, with six recalls in just under a year. The latest involves a problem with the drive inverter—a component crucial for the truck’s torque and propulsion. Tesla‘s investigation, which began after customer complaints in August, pointed to issues with the MOSFET (metal-oxide-semiconductor field-effect transistor) component within the inverter, which can fail suddenly, leading to a total loss of power.

This recall cannot be resolved with a simple software update; it requires Tesla to replace the affected hardware entirely. Notifications are being sent to the owners of the 2,431 Cybertrucks manufactured between November 6, 2023, and July 30, 2024. Repairs are scheduled to begin on December 9, 2024.

This issue adds to the ongoing challenges Tesla has faced with the Cybertruck, including earlier recalls for items like camera displays, windshield wipers, and even trim detachment. And while recalls can be par for the course with any new vehicle, the repeated issues have raised eyebrows about Tesla’s quality control, particularly as it ramps up production at its Texas Gigafactory.

Beyond the Cybertruck, Tesla is also facing scrutiny over its driver-assist features. Recently, regulators have been probing incidents involving the company’s Full Self-Driving system, adding another layer to Tesla’s regulatory hurdles as it navigates scaling the futuristic, and at times controversial, Cybertruck into mainstream use.
