Tesla is upgrading the Cybertruck's electric motor for increased efficiency and reliability. The automaker has started contacting early Cybertruck owners to inform them about the upcoming change.
At select service visits, Tesla will replace one of the drive units for free with a new unit that boasts improved efficiency and reliability.
The specific drive unit being replaced was not specified, but all Cybertrucks currently have at least two motors. It is clarified that the current drive unit is safe to drive.
Deliveries of the Cybertruck began late last year, and Tesla's strategy involves implementing upgrades when production-ready rather than waiting for a new model year launch.
