LOL. I felt like I was stepping into the future though when I drove it.

Hi there. I brought my DeLorean to a car show as I usually do on weekends. But today, a Foundation Series Tri Motor Beast came as well. This was my first time seeing one in the wild. The owner was very nice. He showed me around the vehicle, walked me through the screens, and even let me drive...

Although recalls and service campaigns are a normal part of owning new vehicles, I’d be curious to know how Tesla handles these for the Cybertruck in terms of speed of parts availability and the manner of handling at the service centers. Hopefully some early owners chime in on their experience...

Actually that’s what we use for household glass and mirrors as my wife discovered that it is the best glass cleaner that doesn’t leave a film behind. On their website, it states that the product is ammonia free: https://spraywayretail.com/product/sprayway-glass-cleaner-foaming-aerosol-spray-2/...

Oh man. It’s unfortunate that the CT got rear-ended after only 450 miles. I’d be pissed. However, what a show of strength for the Cybertruck. The tailgate is not even misaligned! It looks like the bumper took most of the brunt of the impact. The mark of the outline of the ram grill with logo on...

That’s a good question. Considering only velocities: here they are from the Tesla test: Glock 9mm, 115 grain 1100 f/ps MP5-SD 9mm 115 grain 950 f/ps 12 ga M4 shotgun 00 buckshot f/ps not listed Tommy gun .45 ACP 935 f/ps A 55 grain 5.56 NATO AR-15 round shows a velocity of 2837 f/ps...

Well, that took longer than I thought it would. Is this the first non-Tesla employee test?

That’s a beautiful sight!

This is great corrosion insight into the Cybertruck’s mysterious “30X” by a Tesla engineer who knows about the subject. So, if the Cybertruck’s “30X” formula has a higher PREN than marine grade 316L SS, it’s PREN is even better than the DeLorean’s 304 SS. 316L= PREN of 23.1-28.5 304= PREN of...

I don’t know about the CT plastic, but the DeLorean has black plastic rocker panels, painted fascia’s, etc. and no owner has complained about BKF discoloration. As mentioned, I do one panel at a time and rinse it well. Don’t be afraid to use plenty of water. For extra precaution I would wash...

Interesting. I guess it’s your business. As a DeLorean owner for 11 years and the leader of the club, I have found the best way to get a squeaky clean surface with no residue is to follow the instructions on the BKF bottle which is to rinse immediately with water after applying the BKF. I do...

Wait a minute. Are you recommending to follow up the barkeepers friend application immediately with Windex? You are not following the manufacturer’s instructions on both these products. Please explain why you are recommending this. BKF needs to be rinsed off immediately with WATER. That’s how...

Thank you. Yes, for standard car washes, we use just a mild car wash soap and water. Details are in the appropriate section.

DeLorean owners don’t fret about maintaining the stainless. Here’s some consolidated advice on the subject from the DeLorean Club of Florida. Rail dust and other contaminants: #29 Using Barkeepers Friend: #15 #5 #32 Washing and Cleaning Fingerprints: #40 #11 Don’t Use Windex and other...

My DeLorean was very hot inside in the Florida summer heat. I tinted the windshield with 85% ceramic (practically clear) and the side windows with 20% ceramic. This dramatically reduced the amount of solar heating. This car has a similar flat relatively large windshield. I plan to do the same...
