I have the original Starlink Dishy McFlatface (the round one) that I want to use to connect to the internet in the back country. I have a Starlink Mobile subscription that I will 'Unpause' for 30 days when I go off road. It costs $150/month, but I can pause it when I don't need it.
I modified...
There's a 1/2" gap at the base of the gate on my CT that I'm sure is the reason dust gets into the vault when driving on dusty gravel roads. I'm not sure how best to install a gasket to close this gap.
I think I have a solution for mounting my iPad Mini inside the CT for off-road navigation using Gaia GPS, OnX, etc. It's a telescoping mount from Arkon. It's anchored to the A-pillar window with a suction cup. The 18" telescoping bar rests on the dash to the left of the steering wheel. It...
I think I've found the reason that so much dust got into the vault on my off-road adventure last week. There's a 1/2" gap at the bottom of the gate as this photo shows:
The top and sides of the gate have a rubber seal, but not between the gate and the bed of the truck. Plugging up this gap...
I have the original round dish which I paid $500 for. I added suctions ups to the three-foot stand so it would stick to the CT's roof. I only use it when stationary to keep my subscription costs to $150/mo. I pause service when not using it.
I like the idea of solar, and I'll most likely include it in my travels where it makes sense. It doesn't hurt to have multiple fallbacks on long road trips where charging opportunities are scarce. One reason I chose a dual fuel generator is the option to run on gasoline if it came to that.
I feel a slight "shiver" in the squircle between 55 and 65 mph. Took it to Tesla Service. They said to drive my CT for a 1000 miles and see if it persists. I rotated tires front to back and still feel it.
My plan is to equip my Cyber truck with everything I'll need for off-road camping without a third-party camper add-on, e.g., Space Camper. Everything has to fit inside the vault and the cab. I don't want to change the aerodynamic characteristics of the CT and reduce my highway range.
Instead...
