Tesla Cybertruck Owner Drove 100,000 Miles In A Year — Then Came The Repair Bill A Nashville-based Tesla Cybertruck owner shared his experience of driving his 2024 AWD Foundation Series model as a full-time Lyft vehicle, logging 100,000 miles in just 12 months. The owner, who received one of the first 10,000 Cybertrucks produced in early 2024, described the vehicle as a workhorse, operating long shifts with an average of seven and a half hours of continuous driving per session. Despite the grueling schedule, passengers frequently praised the truck’s spacious cabin, panoramic roof, and smooth ride, which set it apart in a rideshare fleet dominated by Toyota Priuses and Nissan Altimas. The owner’s decision to use the Cybertruck as a commercial vehicle quickly led to significant wear and tear. While tire replacement was expected—costing around $2,500 for a set of Michelin Defender Platinum LTX tires—the more expensive repair came later. After surpassing the vehicle’s warranty period, the owner faced a $7,200 bill to replace the Power Conversion System, specifically upgrading the Rev E unit to a newer Rev F version. The repair, which the owner described as a “literal slap in the face” due to Tesla’s lack of support post-warranty, highlighted the financial risks of operating a heavy electric vehicle for commercial purposes. Despite the hefty repair cost, the owner acknowledged the Cybertruck’s performance as a rideshare vehicle. He noted its reliability and the positive feedback from passengers, though he emphasized that the experience underscored a critical oversight for many EV buyers: while fuel savings are a major advantage, ownership costs can escalate rapidly.#nashville #tesla #lyft #michelin_defender_platinum_ltx #power_conversion_system
