First time having an issue after driving over a 1000 miles in a week.
My cybertruck thinks it’s plugged in and wouldn’t disengage the brakes to let me drive.
The charge port door also wouldn’t open.
Per Roadside Service tried the following before being towed
1. Restart car by pressing and holding both scroll buttons on steering wheel.
2. Navigate to Safety, scroll to bottom and select Power Off and wait 3 min, then step on brake to power on
3. Clear items from front/rear passenger floor as there’s a harness running underneath known to cause issues if weight is applied. (per Tesla)
None of the steps worked so truck had to be towed onto a flatbed.
The truck also wouldn’t enter into tow mode and per Tesla it was fine to drag the vehicle onto the bed if it was a short distance ie 30-40ft.
Truck had to be towed from the rear and tow truck driver had never towed a cybertruck before.
He didn’t know where to hook into vehicle.
After quick internet search, the tow hooks are located in either side of the hitch.
The plastic covering the hitch can be removed by rotating the three screws a quarter turn.
We didn’t have a screwdriver but my house key did the job. Life of an early adopter!
