Нэшвилл хотод Lyft үйлчилгээнд ашиглагдаж буй Tesla Cybertruck жилийн дотор 100,000 миль туулсны дараа эзэндээ 9,200 гаруй ам.долларын засварын тооцоо иржээ.
2024 оны “Foundation Series” загварын хос мотортой энэхүү цахилгаан автомашиныг Lyft-ийн жолооч ажил болон хувийн хэрэгцээндээ идэвхтэй ашигласан байна. Зорчигчид уг автомашины тав тух болон панорама дээврийг эергээр үнэлдэг байсан ч баталгаат хугацаа дууссаны дараах засварын зардал нь өндөр гарчээ. Засварын нийт зардлын 2,500 ам.долларыг Michelin Defender Platinum LTX дугуйг солиход зарцуулсан бол үлдсэн 7,200 ам.доллар нь эрчим хүч хувиргах системийг (Power Conversion System) Rev E хувилбараас Rev F хувилбарт шинэчлэхэд зарцуулагдсан байна.
Энэхүү тохиолдол нь баталгаат хугацаа дууссаны дараа цахилгаан автомашины эд ангиудын шинэчлэлт болон засвар үйлчилгээний зардал хэрхэн өсөж болохыг харуулж байна. Өмнө нь Tesla Model S болон бусад автомашин эзэмшигчдийн дунд ижил төстэй өндөр өртөгтэй засварын тохиолдлууд бүртгэгдэж байсан юм.
Tesla Cybertruck загварын түүхэн товчоон: 2019 оны 11 дүгээр сард прототипийг олон нийтэд анх танилцуулсан. 2021 оны сүүлээр үйлдвэрлэл эхлэхээр төлөвлөгдсөн ч хойшлогдсоор 2023 оны 1 дүгээр сард Tesla үйлдвэрлэлээ эхлүүлэхээ баталсан. 2023 оны 7 дугаар сард Техас дахь Gigafactory-д анхны загварыг угсарч, 2023 оны 11 дүгээр сард цуврал үйлдвэрлэл эхлэн, эхний эзэддээ хүргэгдсэн байна.

This Nashville Lyft driver racked up 100,000 miles in his Tesla Cybertruck within a year.
There were no issues until a repair bill came his way.
Taking to a Cybertruck Owners forum, LyftDr1ver shared that his repair bill had come to more than $7,200.
How did the bill end up at this eye-watering figure? Fortunately, he went into detail about how it got to this point, and it serves as a warning to other drivers.
This Nashville man wasted no time in putting his Tesla Cybertruck to good use
The Cybertruck in question was a 2024 Cybertruck Foundation Series dual-motor edition, which LyftDr1ver had taken delivery of in early 2024.
The EV truck was put to work as a Lyft vehicle.
We have to say, it is an unconventional choice for the ridesharing app.
But we also love it – imagine how cool it’d be to take a ride in a Cybertruck on your way back from a party?
In this case, Lyft users certainly seemed to appreciate what it had to offer.
“Riders often compliment the room, the panoramic roof, and the ‘smooth ride’ (pretty sure that’s mostly the driver, though),” LyftDr1ver wrote on the forum.
With the average shift taking up to seven and a half hours, it’s easy to understand how he amassed 100,000 miles in a year.
That’s all well and good, but let’s get onto that mammoth-sized repair bill.
Why this Lyft driver was left on the hook for more than $9,000
Fortunately for us, this Cybertruck owner included a full rundown of the repair job.
The tires were in need, of replacing and new Michelin Defender Platinum LTX rubber was added to the truck.
That segment of the job cost $2,500.
So far, not too objectionable.
The real killer in terms of expense came with getting the Power Conversion System replaced.
Just to replace the Rev E of the system with Rev F cost him $7,200.
What does that mean, for us non-Tesla drivers?
This is effectively moving from an older generation to a newer generation; an update in other words.
And this job came to at least $9,200.
“Tesla shows no mercy when you’re outside your warranty – literally – none,” he said.
These repair bills aren’t for the faint of heart – or the cash-strapped
It’s not just Cybertruck owners who are left wincing at repair bills.
The internet is rife with drivers sharing their testimonies of sky-high bills.
High repair costs had one Kansas man questioning whether his cheap Lotus Espirit was a wise purchase.
It was a similar story for one Tesla Model S owner who said ‘fix everything you spot’ and ended up with a whopper of a bill.
