dailyloe.com – A Tesla Cybertruck owner drove 100,000 miles in just 12 months. The Nashville-based owner shared his experience on the Cybertruck Owners Club forum. He used his 2024 Tesla Cybertruck AWD Foundation Series as a full-time Lyft vehicle.
The owner took delivery of one of the first 10,000 Cybertrucks built in early 2024. He immediately put it to work as a Lyft vehicle. A typical Lyft shift lasted around seven and a half hours. That quickly explains how the miles stacked up so fast.
Passengers apparently loved the truck. The owner said passengers regularly complimented the truck’s spacious cabin, massive panoramic roof, and smooth ride quality. The Cybertruck stands out in a rideshare lineup full of Toyota Priuses and Nissan Altimas.
Burning through tires after 100,000 miles is hardly shocking. The owner replaced the original rubber with a new set of Michelin Defender Platinum LTX tires. That alone cost around $2,500. That is pretty standard for a heavy EV truck that weighs nearly 7,000 pounds.
The tire bill wasn’t what frustrated him the most. The bigger hit came when the Cybertruck needed a new Power Conversion System. According to the owner, Tesla replaced the truck’s Rev E unit with a newer Rev F version. The cost was $7,200.
That repair happened after the truck had already moved beyond warranty coverage. The owner didn’t sound thrilled about it. ‘Tesla shows no mercy when you’re outside your warranty — literally — none,’ he wrote on the forum. That single repair cost more than many used commuter cars.
Despite the eye-watering repair bill, the owner didn’t completely trash the truck. He said it performed well as a rideshare vehicle and clearly impressed passengers. This story highlights something many EV buyers don’t think about. Saving money on fuel doesn’t automatically mean ownership is cheap.
