Complaints filed on the 2025 Tesla Cybertruck are spread across a small number of reports, so no single system dominates by a wide margin. Steering draws the most focused concern, with owners describing unexpected lateral movement while using the assisted driving system, in one case, the vehicle reportedly steered toward an adjacent lane during highway travel. Structure complaints involve the body and suspension area, including reports of an air suspension that fails to raise or lower correctly and displays a persistent fault message from delivery onward. Lane departure behavior also appears in a couple of reports, connected to the assisted driving system making unintended steering inputs. A single report raises a concern about the passenger occupant detection system in the rear seat, which governs airbag deployment, failing repeatedly. Another isolated report describes the pedestrian warning speaker being left disconnected after a service visit.

The front light bar on certain vehicles can delaminate and fall off while driving, becoming a hazard for other vehicles on the road. There is also a software issue where the front parking lights can exceed the legal maximum brightness, impairing the vision of oncoming drivers. This last issue is addressed through a software update to vehicles running older firmware.
