The vehicle's rear structural Giga Casting sustained severe structural failure, exhibiting two distinct cracks following an impact. The vehicle and the damaged casting are fully available for inspection upon request at my current location/service center. The safety risk is extreme. The Giga Casting is a core load-bearing structural component of the vehicle. Cracking in this area severely compromises the vehicle's structural integrity. If the vehicle continues to be driven, any subsequent minor impact or even routine road vibrations could lead to a catastrophic structural collapse, complete loss of vehicle control, or unpredictable battery pack intrusion, putting my life and other road users at severe risk. the structural cracks on the Giga Casting have been inspected and confirmed by the Tesla Service Center and I been told by the technician the casting is very easy to get damaged. When the accident happened the most cybertruck get damaged in the casting

There is a defect in the stainless-steel exterior trim panel called the “cant rail,” 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.

How to use these: a complaint is one owner’s report, filed voluntarily and published unverified. Patterns matter more than any single story. If several owners describe the same failure at similar mileage, put that system at the top of your pre-purchase inspection list. Back to the full 2025 Tesla Cybertruck (all Variants) verdict →
