‘Still Squeaking After 50 Days In Tesla Service’ Says Frustrated Cybertruck Owner
Now, the owner just wants his money back or a new truck for the small but annoying issue
- A Cybertruck owner says his pickup has sat at a service center for weeks with a squeak.
- Tesla’s team has had the truck for 40 days straight without finding the source of the noise.
- The owner now wants Tesla to buy back the truck or provide a brand-new replacement.
Beyond serious mechanical issues, squeaks and rattles rank high amongst the most annoying things one may have to deal with in any car. Imagine, though, if your ride had an incessant rattle or squeak despite it being basically brand new and costing six figures. That’s what one Cybertruck owner is dealing with right now, and Tesla seems incapable of fixing the electric pickup.

The owner first posted about his experience on Facebook in June: “My Cybertruck is in service for a squeak coming from the front left pillar near the windshield. The service team tried using foam and insulation, but couldn’t fix it,” he said. At that point, the team decided to send the truck to a collision center.
Ongoing Repairs With No Resolution
From there, things haven’t improved. In a newer post, he claims that the center has had the truck for 40 consecutive days without finding a fix. “They’ve replaced parts, added insulation, and tried multiple approaches, but the issue remains,” he says. That appears to include disassembling several components and reworking them to no avail. A message from Tesla service to the owner says it’s a top priority and that they’re working on it.
Interestingly, this doesn’t seem to be an isolated incident, as in the original post from June, several other owners claim to have similar issues.
“My CT has a rattling noise from the same area (front driver’s side dashboard / a-pillar area near front window) when going over bumps,” said another owner. “I have dashboard and pillar rattle and squeak too. This is third attempt to fix,” said another. “I’ve had so many creeks, squeaks, and rattles…. I’ve taken it in 5 times already,” said one more.
From Annoyance to Dealbreaker
Both ironically and sadly, one even admitted that it rattles so much that they just take a different car when they want a quiet ride. It sounds like that’s where the owner in this story is on his journey, too. He now wants Tesla to either buy the truck back altogether or for the automaker to give him a new one. There’s no telling if that one will squeak too though. We’ll follow this story and update you if we hear more.
