Rear motor disabled alerts, anyone?

[EctoSlymer]

I’ve had this rear motor disabled alert, pop-up on my vehicle about a half dozen times or more in recent weeks. Then it randomly goes away after I park and exit the vehicle and then re-enter it. So basically after doing a hard reset. . Error code DL-a008. Anyone else experiencing this?

Checked with grok:

Yes, based on reports from other Cybertruck owners, this seems to be a somewhat common issue, particularly with early models. The "rear motor disabled" alert (often logged as error code DI_a008, which might be what you meant by DL-a008) typically limits the vehicle to around 65 mph and can stem from faults in the rear drive unit or inverter. In many cases, it resolves temporarily after a reset or reboot, but often recurs and requires a service visit for diagnosis—common fixes include replacing the rear inverter or the entire drive unit under warranty

Owners have shared similar experiences where the alert pops up intermittently during drives or at startup, then clears after parking and restarting the vehicle, much like you described. Some have linked it to software glitches that can sometimes be addressed remotely via updates, while others needed hardware repairs If it's happening frequently, scheduling a Tesla service appointment is recommended, as they've handled these quickly in reported cases, often providing loaners.

Good move, they should take care of you. There is a poll in the top posts about this. Many ppl have been stranded with this issue. Its a recall/warranty replacement. Good luck!

That’s wild that it’s related to the motor shutting down. I didn’t realize people identifying they were having troubles with the inverter, were having their motors shut down the way I have been.

I experienced this yesterday in my Cyberbeast, after making a pitstop on a road trip. Mine was:

Rear right motor disabled - OK to drive

Software version: 2025.45.7

Luckily it resolved itself randomly after a supercharge. Weird driving with one rear motor, the working motor was really easy to lose traction.

I made a service appointment, probably will be a waste of time, though.

I have a 2024 CyberBeast I’ve had for about 14 months now and just got this message
“Rear left motor disabled - OK to drive
Vehicle power may be limited”.
Has anyone else had to deal with it?

I looked it up briefly and it has been said the heat and motor regulator of some sort has had to be replaced.
Just want to check in on the group and see how much of a pain of an issue is this going to be.
I was hoping to get this fixed the same time as the safety recall for the off-road light bar.
Any thoughts or issues that’s relatable?

That’s the same warning I got. Why are all these people getting this at the same time? This seems like a recall issue…

I just got the alert last night. First time, right, and then left. Resolved like 2 mins later after I started charging.

But did it really “resolve”? Or is everyone’s slowly yet surely prematurely degrading??

 

[GregimusPrime]

Seems completely normal, either way still going to go to service center. Just in case.

I just got it today. Disappeared after charging. 2025 Cyberbeast with 4773 km
45.7

I got alerted for front motor disable once then went away. SC replaced front drive inverter. Never came back!

The same happened with me after I charged it disappeared.
But I’m not taking chances and while it’s still covered under warranty, I might as well. It’s just frustrating just over 13K miles and had it for 13 months and all these issues. Between the recalls, the wireless charging issue having to bring it in 3 times to finally get it fixed, waiting forever to get the off-road light bar installed and now a recall on the light bar install because of the adhesive .
It was one of the concerns of buying the first year model of the CyberBeast, let alone a Foundation Series.
