I remember jumping into my Model 3 at 11 PM one night after the "speed" update just so I could do a 0 to 60 test to see if I could perceive the difference.

The OTA updates were really exciting for the first year or so of ownership, we got so many new features during that period. Now when I see an OTA update I seldom care as they are mostly minor tweaks instead of noticeable improvements to the car.

I wonder if the early days of the Cybertruck will be like that at all for things like off-road capabilities, ect. That is the sort of thing I can see changing via OTA for the Cybertruck as they potentially create new driving modes, ect.
I bet we will see tweaks to off road capabilities.

Pretty disappointed with the 72.8” bed length.
Wish the power outlets were higher capacity along with outlets in the frunk.
If this is accurate, could have bought a Lightning with similar to better specs.

Actually, 6 ft. is standard on most pickups. The Chevy has a folding midgate which give them 10 feet, but the bed is 6 ft.

Based on these specs....should be fine getting in my garage.
Was starting to get worried.

I have an S now and have a couple of feet to give on length...although getting through the garage doors on the width is kinda tight (I have to collapse the mirrors) but the widths look pretty similar. I should be able to make it work. Will be tight and kinda pain in the ass - but it will work.
Great news.

There's an obvious joke in here somewhere. I'll go with the standard:

Another Cybertruck story talking about the SS challenges and bird droppings…

https://www.notebookcheck.net/Cyber...sult-in-stainless-steel-sanding.775094.0.html
“According to one Chris Nicholson, who specializes in stainless steel finish maintenance, mainly of DeLoreans owned by collectors across the globe, the material can absolutely get dents, scratches, and dark spots. To fix those, he often has to resort to removing the top finish layer and then sanding the spot. He is of the opinion that Cybertruck owners "are going to have to learn how to do this," if they want to keep their pickup looking tough yet as pristine as it came out of the Texas Gigafactory.”


Can’t believe they doxed @CyberGus like that

When I want to restore the shine and remove blemishes, I buff the surface with a Scotchbrite pad following the grain.

It takes about 1 beer per panel

I could do it for 3 beers per panel...

I might be ok with that because those are both closed systems. I have a background in engineering and i just have a really hard time believing that they would allow users to just freely tie into a system. it would be like putting a hydraulic jackhammer port on the power steering pump that you can plug into and unplug.

So i understand the process right:

Step 1) Rub stainless with scotchbrite pad
Step 2) Pour beer on stainless panels
Step 3) Lick beer off panels for optimum shine and to confuse the neighbors
