Message @Elonmusk @Cybertruck @woodhaus2 and @wmorrill3 on X and put in a request in the Tesla app. Perhaps they will listen and add it.

The issue isn’t cell coverage, I have great cell coverage and I am on Wifi. Tesla didn’t implement Gate Control API in the in dash MyQ app. It is a simple addition to fix the problem.

I have been sending Tweets and emails to Tesla asking they add Gate Support to MyQ. I have a Liftmaster MyQ Gate on my carport where I park the truck. I put the gate opener in specifically for the Cybertruck because the website says you just need a Tesla and MyQ garage opener to be compatible...

Yes ANC only works at very low volumes and it is hard to tell the difference just yet. Remember this is being rolled out slowly even after we got the software it still wasn't being turned on right away for reasons. This is the first version of the software for this in the CyberTruck. It will...

4680 Cell & Tabless Design: The goal was a larger cell (46mm x 80mm) with a tabless design for better power/range (16% range boost). Progress: These cells are being produced and integrated into vehicles, though ramping up production has been challenging. Cobalt Reduction: Moving to...

The reason 16 550 is still used in SNX is due to contracts and the number of cells they agreed to purchase sometimes it’s not about the technology. It’s about the agreements that are made at the time.

I wasn’t just looking at the roadmap I was talking to an engineer that works for Tesla on the semi. The original prototype had two stacked 100kw packs and late the shortage went to a custom 2170 pack and LR would use 4680 for additional energy density. Things can change but I don’t think the...

The answer depends on which very into the truck. The long range does use the 4680s and the short range uses LFP. Key Battery Details: Capacity: Long-Range: ~850 kWh (using 4680 cells). Short-Range: ~500 kWh (using LFP cells). Cell Technology: Primarily uses next-gen 4680 battery cells...

if only Fred and some other reporters could learn to Google. Tesla is building a massive cathode plant next to Gigafactory Texas in Austin Austin to produce battery components, a key part of their vertical integration strategy, using lithium hydroxide from their Texas refinery to make cathodes...

Standard solar technology that would be affordable doesn’t add enough range to make the cost an additional weight worthwhile. You would need a different style of panel like they use on satellites that is very expensive to build to get a level of efficiency to make it worthwhile. Perhaps new...

Well that will never happen because ICE vehicles still get subsidies and they will not end oil and gas subsidies because it will increase costs for gas, transportation and food. Plus right wing groups like ALEC have handed legislation to states to pass to hobble EV's by putting an additional...

EV's being allowed to use the HOV lanes didn't cost tax payers money outside of the cost of issuing a sticker. It did encourage people to purchase EV's which reduces pollution. Doing away with HOV so more cars can drive in the lane doesn't reduce pollution because a lane or two isn't going to...

Just buy the truck get the discount and when the software update releases it will update overnight in your garage. I have Solar, Powerwalls, and the truck. I can turn on the PowerShare but it says not communicating just yet. It will come in Q3 sometime. No point in waiting for the software.

after spending a few days with Grok in the truck I have been quite pleased. First in the truck there are some pre-processing instructions built in that you can’t see that tell it. It’s in a car to be more conversational and know that what it’s saying, can’t be read that it’s audio only. if you...

something they may not be aware of is it’s not supported yet. Tesla is still working on the software and his publicly stated that V2 power walls will be supported. It’s also not really the power wall. It’s the gateway. The gateway needs a way to be powered so what is shipped with the trucks that...
