https://www.torquenews.com/11826/tesla-cybertruck-owner-says-carrying-hay-killed-his-trucks-air-suspension-now-his-cybertruckTesla Cybertruck Owner Says Carrying Hay Killed His Trucks Air Suspension, Now His Cybertruck is Slowly Sinking into the Ground
A fault in the Cybertrucks bed design allows debris to easily get trapped in the under-bed compartment. If moving hay, it blocks the air compressor intake, causing it to overheat. This affects the air suspension, which causes the truck to sink lopsided.
Jacob Feder, a Cybertruck owner from Miami, Florida, says his trucks air compressor stopped working after he used the bed to carry hay. In addition, since the compressor powers the air suspension, Jacobs truck is now sitting lopsided after the rear suspension started to sink to the ground.
Jacob shared his predicament on the Cybertruck Owners Only group on Facebook. Here is what he said
The compressor stopped working, so we decided to open our Cybertruck and see what was up, and this is what I found. A few weeks back, I was transporting hay in the back of the truck, and a bunch fell down, apparently.
Below his post, Jacob shared two pictures of his Cybertrucks under-bed area, which is littered with hay. As you can see in the pictures, if you head over to the Cybertruck Owners Only group on Facebook, there is hay everywhere under the bed.
The air compressor, air reservoir bottle, and intricate electronics are all covered in hay. Not only that, but the hay also goes down to the rear drive unit compartment.

        That is largely incapable of doing truck things. The Cybertruck is a vanity project of its creator and has become a metaphor for all things Musk.

        Those are used to haul hay to your horses.
