Cybertruck Critical Steering Issue Detected

So yesterday when I was going for a grocery run. This error message "Critical steering issue detected" suddenly appeared after I clicked the "Loss of system redundancy detected" message. What does this mean?

Looks like the issue might be with the redundancy sensors, and it seems linked to the front Steer-by-Wire (SbW) system. This "Critical Warning" is a bit of a newbie for Teslas since none of the other models have SbW. So we're kind of in the dark about whether this warning is just a glitchy code, a temporary hiccup with communication or sensors, or something more serious. The SbW system has three redundancy sensors and communication systems but only two mechanical backups, so the problem could be anything from a small glitch to a big deal.

Could you jump into Service mode and grab the exact error code and details? I’m crossing my fingers there;s a common issue across all units that can be fixed with a recall. If the errors are all over the place, it might mean we’re looking at a bigger problem.

Did your truck completely stop working? Let us know how long it takes to fix and what the problem was.

I’m excited to get my hands on the CT, but honestly, waiting 2-3 years might turn out to be a blessing in disguise. Fingers crossed that’ll give the price a chance to drop and all the kinks with the connections and features to really get ironed out.

Did it completely immobilize the truck? Were you lucky enough to be in your garage when it happened? That's definitely better than being stuck on the highway.

It's a shame they couldn't fix it on the spot. Hopefully, the repair won't take too long. Keep us posted on the timeline and the root cause of the issue.
