While driving vehicle a prompt flashed on the screen saying “power reduced, steering performance reduced due to overheating”. Then the next screen said “critical steering issue detected pull over”. Then I got a loss of system redundancy detected. This has happened twice in one week and I’ve towed it to Tesla twice.

I purchased 2024 Tesla cybertruck and got the delivery of the truck on May 11th 2024.

On [XXX], while driving highways for over 2 hours, the windshield became very dirty with dried debris from the road.

The drivers side did clean acceptably. But not the passenger side! I could see arcs on the windshield where the wiper attempted to drop fluid. There were 8 or 9 such arcs left after the wiper withdrew. I did see cleaning solvent near the outside of the…

The contact owns a 2024 Tesla Cybertruck. The contact stated that while driving at 70 MPH with the "Full Self-Driving" (FSD) active, the vehicle ahead of the contact's vehicle abruptly slowed down.
