Owner: tonneau bed cover is pretty water resistant and my consumption is 468 Wh/mi so far

[c18zyxt]

It has been raining for 2 days in socal, and I opened the bed cover multiple times in the rain just to show people the truck. I noticed that the bed is very water resistant and way better than my F150 with the retrax. I took the picture this morning, most of the water marks are from kids step on the bed last night. The water usually leaks from both sides, but I found the leakage is very minimal.

Note: I park the truck outside all the time. And I drove 50 freeway (80mph)/50 local (55mph)for the past few days.

Wow 95 on it. FRESH!
468 is really good compared to some other reports.
That would give about 211 miles on an 80% pack usage or 263 100% to 0

Hard to tell in the picture, is there a section of the vault that is "dryer" than others. Basically is there an area that would be good to keep things that you didn't care if they got wet like around the edges, and then a place that keeps things more dry?

Please keep us posted as you put more miles on, congrats on getting your truck!

We are neighbors?. It has been raining pretty hard. IMHO that degree of leakage qualifies the vault cover as water resistant. I still would not store sensitive electronics in the closed bed during a heavy rain but at least the cover gives substantial shelter from rain. Just hope that continues at 6 months and beyond.

yep, so far the truck is nearly perfect. The only annoyance I noticed is the highway steering wheel/front end shake. It is very mild but noticeable. Do you have the same issue?

 

[Longranger]

@c18zyxt, The first thing to check with that shake is wheel balance and allignment. I am waiting for the nonfoundation CT.

The middle section is the very dry since the water only leaks from the sides.

Range from 262 -292 miles!

Have you noticed the front of the vault getting wet when opening like some of the guys in the snow have? Or does the rain just slide down with the cover into the lower area below the vault?

I guess it could do more if kids are not watching YouTube in back and I stop checking the truck on my phone? oh and sentry mode ofc.

Wow, I am amazed that it takes that much mileage just by interacting with it via the app.

Thanks for sharing. Hadn’t seen that screen before. Nice way to monitor where your using/losing energy.

Good numbers. I've been skeptical of many of the dismal CT range stories out there. I think the AWD CT driving efficiency is about 400 Wh/mile in fair weather at 70 mph. 80% to 10% discharge should give you 215 miles under those circumstances.
