A Small Dilemma: Park Cybertruck or Model Y outside?

[Korben Dallas]

I would park the CT inside; the MY is much easier to keep clean. Also does your tonneau leak (I know there is a fix), I would not want the constant hassles of puddles there.

My wife & I discussed that very thing; that it’s much easier to wash the MYP. There was a small amount of water in the vault after washing it, however, it has yet to sit out in the rain for days like my GMC.

The other garage benefit is that it’s out of sight, so only our neighbors know we have one and the weirdos are clueless.

Given how hard the stainless is to clean and the size difference of the vehicles, I would say buy a cover for the model Y, store it in the frunk, and cover it in the carport. CT in the garage.

OP, isn't Tesla the best-selling car in Norway? I heard it gets a bit cool in Norway, haha!!

Point is that the cold won't hurt the batteries, especially if they're plugged in. The car will know what to do.

As for cleaning: I have a 2020 MYLR and AWD CT. The CT is WAY EASIER to clean. Twenty minutes with some Sprayway and Costco microfibers and I'm done.

Then again, I live in SoCal so I'm not washing off mud and grime from winter roads, haha!!

A cover for the MYP is on my voucher credit shopping list, as are several other items, that are of course, OUT OF STOCK! ?

So I’m patiently waiting for the store to be restocked. Fortunately, my voucher doesn’t expire for 10.5 months.

I’m planning on keeping the Cybertruck outside 24/7/365. If at some point down the road, the surface of the steel begins to corrode, I will just polish it down and start fresh

I keep my Cybertruck outside I ceramic coated the stainless steel and it looks great.in four months I have only washed it once and it really didn’t need it.

I first used Sonax iron on the truck be honest it looked great after I used Sonax but than after i had it Ceramic Coated it looks fantastic all I have done in four months is rinse it once

Actually, I am not concerned about corrosion. My primary concern is battery health as my garage is much warmer than normal ambient winter temperantures. Perhaps the best solution is to rotate them every couple of weeks to balance out any harm that might be done to the batteries.

While cold weather use consumes more electrons, cold weather is better for battery health. Living in the desert heat will make your battery degrade faster.

I used some 303 Graphene nano-coating on the hood that I had in the garage. I don't think it really worked. It seemed to not wipe off completely bc the surface is not smooth like paint. Not sure if alcohol stripped it or if I need to get some more chemicals
