  1. How do you tune an AM Radio station?

    AM is not dead, there are still radio stations that are AM only. “Nutjob” is in the eye of the beholder, but if they have local news and traffic, and are not quite 100% one-sided, I don’t think that’s a fair characterization. Mostly the law is (as you point out, like some other mandates)...
  2. First registration renewal fee notice I was shocked [ADMIN WARNING: NO POLITICS]

    Sooner or later I'd expect that to go up on all EVs in all states, if it's reasonable there now. Why? No gas tax, so they're going to go after the highway money they're losing.
  3. What software would you want on the cybertruck?

    I don't know that the AI4 aka FSD computer is involved in anything so non-driving-related as gaming. I don't know that it could be since they're not connected to the infotainment computer in the way that a GPU is to a CPU (extreme speeds between them), but purposely separate systems...
  4. What software would you want on the cybertruck?

    Work with cable companies (Xfinity specifically comes to mind) so that their browser works with the cable company streaming sites. Right now it doesn't, which limits the channels one can get; although if one has Fox News or HBO for example, one may be able to access video for those using their...
  5. 2025.8.4 Update: Steer by Wire System / steering wheel gives more realistic feedback, adapting to different road surfaces

    From a previous post, it's apparently supposed to feel different on slippery or poor traction surfaces (rather than merely bumpy ones). So that sounds reasonable.
  6. Where Should the Cybertruck Refrigerator Be Placed? Teslaunch New Product Survey📢 📢

    It's use case and number of passengers when traveling far enough to use it. Driver or front seat passengers only, for use in vehicle, center console. If the rear seat isn't full, one of two locations depending on number of people: center or short folding side floor. One post sometime ago had...
  7. Cant Rail Replacement Fix - Service Bulletin (SB-25-10-001) published yesterday

    That's certainly one possibility I've seen mentioned when googling for stainless steel welding discoloration to make sure that my instinct about acid wasn't wrong (it wasn't, but the pickling solution typically used is seriously beyond consumer use).
  8. Cant Rail Replacement Fix - Service Bulletin (SB-25-10-001) published yesterday

    Welding heat from the other side implies the discoloration is deep. But acid (like the liquid Barkeeper's Friend, or CitriSurf 77) left on a few minutes longer than usual (but still thoroughly rinsed off) MIGHT provide a surface fix to the color. I suspect it wouldn't be strong enough to...
  9. Tesla App phone battery drain??

    Wow. Have to wonder what's causing that. Just checked on mine (which admittedly spends a lot of time plugged in), 2%, less than the Cybertruck Owner's Club app. :-) Old iPhone 12 Pro Max. (big enough that the battery is big too) Latest version of iOS and of app. I don't have Sentry mode...
  10. Cant Rail Replacement Fix - Service Bulletin (SB-25-10-001) published yesterday

    Granted that was more of a struggle than it should have been, wouldn't a 2nd time go faster and easier with experience?
  11. CYBERTRUCK hate by state [ADMIN WARNING: NO POLITICS]

    Might have felt guilty over all the other Subaru drivers that are jerks. :-)
  12. 2025.8.4 Update: Steer by Wire System / steering wheel gives more realistic feedback, adapting to different road surfaces

    Thanks, that's why I mentioned the sequence of events, thinking it was the sort of thing that might have happened to others. That suggests that it's harmless if not ideal, and hopefully less worrisome to anyone else here that encounters it. I don't think I've been back to a supercharger since...
  13. 2025.8.4 Update: Steer by Wire System / steering wheel gives more realistic feedback, adapting to different road surfaces

    Another voice here: at I think the first supercharge after the 2025.8.4 update, I got the left and right rear disabled messages repeatedly. HVAC was fine, and I had already successfully tried raise/lower with the app. After sitting nearly 24 hours (moving around not so fun for me any more, so I...
