Since purchasing my Cybertruck with Full Self-Driving in July 2025, I have experienced a repeated safety issue whenever Autopilot/FSD is engaged on highways. The vehicle will consistently pull toward the left side of the lane, positioning itself directly on the left lane line. This feels extremely unsafe, especially when another vehicle is traveling in the lane beside me. This behavior happens at highway speeds and creates a significant safety concern because it reduces the buffer between my vehicle and adjacent traffic. The issue has occurred repeatedly over several months in different locations and conditions. I have brought the vehicle to Tesla service multiple times, and the issue has not been resolved. Tesla acknowledged the concern happened to multiple vehicles in the past two months, but was unable to fix it. They are now performing another inspection for my vehicle, and starting a buyback request that is under review. There are no warning messages before or during the behavior. This appears to be a malfunction with the vehicleâs lane-keeping or Autopilot/FSD behavior that puts my safety and the safety of others at risk.

Driving the cybertruck on a road going straight no set destination on the cars navigation with autopilot on so it should have continued straight for the most partâ¦. but the car decided to make an abrupt illegal right turn from a straight only lane after passing the appropriate right merge lane. After which the car swerved illegally into 2 oncoming traffic lanes before briefly missing an oncoming car then me driver manually pulled back into the correct lane. By the way my 12 pound dog which sits in the passenger seat was swung so hard hard by the abrupt turn that she literally ended up in the driver foot well by my ankles. This has never ever happened from my regular driving! Iâm not so upset about my dog so much as I am trying to convey the amount of abrupt rough turn the car did. Very last minute and doing anything but let the car do the turn may have resulted in me crashing into oncoming traffic had there been any. A terrible illegal scary occurrence by Tesla autopilot. I was left very stunned. Please contact me for additional information I did record the dashcam footage and would like to share that.

There is a defect in the stainless-steel exterior trim panel called the âcant rail,â which detached from the vehicle while driving, posing a safety risk as road debris and hazard to other motorists. There was a recall issued for this exact same thing for previous models earlier this year but it still happened with the new 2025 model. This August 2025 model was not included as a recalled vehicle.

Iâve had a model 3,model y and now a cybertruck, canât speak on the rest of the fleet but didnât had this problem with those cars or any my other cars in the pass, but the passenger side seat belt keeps locking up, if you have to reach down to get an item or reach back it locks up, even if you go a few inches over it locks up which which needs constant taking the seat belt off and resetting it which become a safety issues while driving for the passenger, I took it to the dealership and they said itâs normal, I feel like the seat belt is short which makes it lock up as it should or other defect, I tasted on another cybertruck and didnât had that problem, tesla customer service didnât wanted to help me and push me away, I google the problem and there a forum and people having the same problem

Tesla sold me a 2025 Cybertruck RWD without disclosing that no compatible bed cover exists at all for this model. We test-drove the vehicle at Tesla Clermont and took delivery at Tesla Tallahassee. At neither location were we told that the RWD trim cannot use the powered hard tonneau cover OR the soft tonneau cover. After delivery, Tesla confirmed in writing that the only cover associated with this model is out of stock with no ETA, and they âcannot speculate on availability.â No third-party manufacturer offers a compatible cover. This means the vehicleâs truck bed cannot be covered or secured in any manner. As a result, we experienced two serious safety incidents. Both times, the vehicle was operating in SFD (self-drive) mode at speeds below the posted speed limit, with items properly tied down using rope. Even under safe, controlled conditions, items flew out of the truck bed twice, nearly causing a collision behind us. Vehicles had to brake and swerve to avoid debris. These incidents created a direct hazard to us and the surrounding traffic. The Cybertruck RWD cannot safely retain cargo under normal driving conditions without a cover, and no cover exists or can be purchased. Tesla buried a clause in a 45-page contract saying they may âremove parts from commerce,â but this does NOT excuse failing to disclose that no safe cargo-retention solution exists for the RWD configuration. A pickup truck that cannot keep cargo from ejecting onto the roadway presents a serious safety defect. I am reporting this because the inability to secure a load is a safety hazard for both occupants and other drivers, and Tesla has no remedy available. Thank you
