Tesla Cybertruck and Model 3/Y owners report inoperability and bricking issues after a recent software update. The new HW4 onboard computer is suspected to be the root cause, causing short-circuiting and disabling crucial features. Tesla is reportedly downplaying the severity of the issues.
A recent software update has caused several Cybertruck s to become inoperable. Tesla recently launched its new HW4 onboard computer, which is also causing issues. Its service centers have reportedly been instructed to downplay concerns from owners. Numerous Tesla Cybertruck owners say their EVs are becoming bricked after installing a recent software update , and several others are experiencing issues with the brand’s new HW4 onboard self-driving computer.
The issues have left owners of various different Tesla models stranded and forced the automaker's technicians to reset vehicles. News of issues first started to emerge last week. It’s understood that vehicles with the new HW4 computer are short-circuiting, perhaps during the camera calibration process. The issue involves vehicles such as the Model 3 and Model Y and renders important features such as the GPS, navigation, range estimations, and cameras inoperable.

Several members of the Cybertruck Owners Club forum report their trucks getting crippled during a software update. In one case, a Tesla technician says they “found firmware hammered for an unknown reason midway through install,” and that a “partial update disabled vehicle.” After successfully reinstalling the software, the truck was confirmed to be operational. It appears issues directly related to the HW4 computer are more widespread. Electrek says it has been contacted by numerous owners experiencing issues with the new computer that’s rolled out over the past few months. This new computer reportedly has less RAM and storage than the HW3 it replaces, likely in an effort to cut cost
