Over on the Cybertruck Owners Club, user Mad4sax who also lists their name as Tom, posted Monday afternoon with the subject, “Update 2024.45.25.5 Bricked my truck,” and the claim, “As the title says. Installed 2024.45.25.5 and the truck went unresponsive. So just be aware of this when you press to update. They are sending a truck to bring to my local service center.”

The good news for Tom is that the service center was reportedly able to fix his Cybertruck fairly quickly. He also shared a screenshot of the technician’s notes where they said they, “Found firmware hammered for an unknown reason midway through install. Partial update disabled vehicle. Supported MV system onsite and redeployed latest firmware update. Verified successful.”

User Cybertact, who also lists their name as Kristoffer, claimed they had the same issue, posting, “I am also in the same boat as you. I updated and it bricked Sunday morning. Waiting for the mobile tech tomorrow to get it powered so that I can unplug it from my wall charger. They couldn’t tow because the tow truck driver couldn’t get the 48v powered to unplug.”

Unfortunately for Kristoffer, their fix wasn’t so simple. “Update: no beuno. It’s dead dead,” he wrote. “Although they tried to jump it, they can hear electricity circulating but not enough to power anything else. So it’ll get towed today and looked into Thursday.”
