Editor's Note: All these links link to Discord's website.


https://consumerrights.wiki/w/Tesla_cybertruck_voids_warranty_if_advertised_Power-Your-Site_feature_is_used
Discord is an instant messaging platform, serparate from the Consumer Rights Wiki. It has its own [https://discord.com/terms Terms of Service] and [https://discord.com/privacy Privacy Policy] agreements, with elements that may be considered a violation of consumer rights including its [https://discord.com/terms#16 forced arbitration and class action waiver] terms.


Background
== So why the Discord link? ==<!-- This is very basic. While I have previously been active on Discord, I have never been on the CRW's and thus this may be inaccurate. -->


originally:
Discord is a common platform used by many people to connect and collaborate with each other in real time, and many people already have accounts on it. While the consumer rights drawbacks are real, a more suitable platform that can replicate its instanteous collaboration and organized interface has not yet been agreed upon.<!-- From Drakeula: Some of the things I think it well to address:


...These Cybertruck models tend to have large battery capacities around 120kWh.[1] These vehicles consume much more power for their driving operation, like when they are accelerating 0-100km/h (60mph) under three seconds with their over 200kW motors[1]. It is a power requirement that the batteries should handle easily, so it is expected that if regular driving falls within battery warranty that this "Power Your Site" feature would also fall under warranty, especially if it is advertised without any disclaimers.[2]
Why discord?
Is anything being done to move to a more consumer friendly platform? (e.g., What other platforms are being considered? What platforms rejected? What are desiderata? What is anticipated time frame?)


draft:
Is there a project to mirror the public parts of the discord to the wiki, or to a web page? (I haven’t found a tool to do this. If I were doing it, I would try starting with something like DiscordChatExporter. [not an endorsement, I haven’t tried it]) A discord client for wiki (i.e., lets wiki users post on the discord) would be even better. (However, with the direction discord company is going, this is probably not worth the effort.)


... These vehicles are equipped with 200kW motors, which primarily power the vehicle's movement. Having 79 MPGe [[https://www.evspecifications.com/en/model-efficiency/800fef 2nd EVe source here]][[https://www.fueleconomy.gov/feg/Find.do?action=sbs&id=49123 fueleconomy.gov sauce]] and weighing 3 tons, driving normally uses more energy than the 11.5kWh the Power Your Site feature would be supplying. Thus, it is strange the Power Your Site features is not covered under warranty, being advertised on their website with no disclaimers. [[https://www.tesla.com/powershare literally the Tesla Powershare page] lmao]. 
Any other questions such an explanation should answer? -->
 
originally 2 (Updated warranty void conditions for the car battery):
 
So that means that it is possible for Tesla to change the performance of the battery remotely, without the customer being able to use warranty if this update negatively affects them.
 
draft 2: 
 
'''This means''' that it is possible ...
 
random notes:
 
as of 2025-06-05 it is still dubiously covered under the [https://digitalassets.tesla.com/tesla-contents/image/upload/tesla-cybertruck-new-vehicle-limited-warranty-en-us.pdf; current limited warranty]. page 6; isn't being "stationary" part of powering a house?; | page 8, "Using the vehicle as a permanent or long-term power source with signs of unreasonably high energy throughput that may be inconsistent with the mileage driven;" what is determined as unreasonable? do they get that sole power? I may need to bring this to a talk page, updating the info is not the scope I had when first starting this draft page.
 
the only thing i know about electric vehicles is from Technology Connections ok. please be patient 🧢
