This Tesla Cybertruck owner was taken aback by one specific issue that they weren’t expecting.
Real estate broker Leon Lee took to a Cybertruck owner Facebook page to seek some advice.
While the Tesla truck is billed as being sturdy and durable, there’s one issue that keeps coming up again and again.
He’d already driven 37,000 miles and seen this problem come up more than once.

What issue kept coming up again and again for this Cybertruck owner?
In the Cybertruck Owners Only Facebook group, Leon Lee asked for help with his problem.
“I have 37,000 miles on my Tesla Cybertruck, and I’m already on my second pair of tires,” Lee wrote in his post.
“The first pair of tires was done at 22,000 miles, and yes, I did the alignment with Tesla Service!
“Who has the same situation? I don’t think this is normal. Any ideas?”
It’s not clear what sort of conditions Lee had been driving his Cybertruck in.
After all, we’ve seen that these trucks are capable of taking on some pretty rugged landscapes, whether it be a California off-road adventure or the Rocky Mountains of Colorado.
But at any rate, it appeared that Lee wasn’t alone in facing this problem.
“It’s normal, [my tires] lasted only 17k miles,” one person commented.
How much does it cost to change tires on these trucks?
If you find yourself in a similar circumstance, you can find yourself shelling out a lot for new tires.
The truck uses massive 35-inch tires based on Goodyear’s Wrangler Territory RT.
This means a driver can expect to pay $2,000 per set.
Not cheap.
To be fair to Tesla, going through tires at a faster rate is a common issue for EVs generally.
According to research by Alixpartners, electric vehicles can burn through tires about 20 percent faster than internal combustion vehicles do, mostly due to the fact their heavy weight and quick acceleration.
Considering that new EV tires generally cost more, it’s not an ideal situation.
It being a wider problem for EV drivers probably won’t be much consolation to Lee or his fellow Cybertruck owners, but that’s just how things are right now.
