Multiple Cybertruck owners have now reported waking up to find raccoons had spent the night attempting to break into their vehicles, leaving muddy pawprints across the stainless steel body and in several cases damaging the rubber trim along the tonneau cover. The first confirmed case came from a camping trip in Minnesota, where a owner locked food in the bed thinking it was secure. The raccoons disagreed.
Tesla marketed the Cybertruck as built for any planet. Forum members pointed out it apparently cannot handle Minnesota wildlife. One commenter noted that other trucks avoid this problem because they do not look like garbage receptacles. The repair bill for torn trim starts at around $1,000.
