Elon was clear that he doesn't want the EV rebate BUT only if the federal government removed all fossil fuel subsidies as well. Thats a big change going against many entrenched interests. But..... if that is pulled off. Expect gas prices to go up significantly. EVs will be in high demand...

There is a tow rating / tongue weight rating in the owners manual. I would share that with them. Otherwise, they need to specify what document they want. My guess is they are concerned with the tongue weight limits, but that should be around 1,000 lbs. An 8,800 lb. piece of equipment is...

There is a greater issue in the insurance world and its not related to the Cybertruck. Friends and coworkers have been complaining of 20 - 40% insurance rate increases on their homes, cars, / bundled policies. I've seen it on my personal policies. What is likely happening, is that insurance...

EV batteries and cabin both like to be around 70F for optimal performance. If you're comfortable, they're comfortable. So the heat pump will work progressively harder (consume more energy) the further you get away from that nominal temperature. 110F, or 40F off nominal for Arizona plus...

Looks like the start of galvanic corrosion, which is caused by dissimilar metals. Use citrisurf 77+ and it should remove the deposited iron layer (yellow). Barkeepers friend shouldn’t be used on stainless steel. While yes, it cleans the surface using oxalic acid, it doesn’t passivate the...

The suspension damper solenoids for adjusting stiffness / damping / rebound are in their "off" default position on the firm ride quality. That defaults "safe" and firm if you're trailering and get a solenoid failure. Edit:// "Off" is a relative term since they are still active. But should...

I timed a 2.6 second 0-60 on a slightly uphill road with a passenger with a beast launch. A non-launch mode 0-60 in medium height seems to be very dependent on traction and tire temperature. The 60ft zone often is slow, as the tires are slipping and traction control is working hard. To the...

I drained the blue Smurf piss that was in the reservoir and filled it with Adam’s washer fluid. Much better and it’s clear. My prior last new vehicle (Porsche Macan), was delivered in September and I stupidly assumed they had filled it with winter washer fluid. It froze up on the first cold...

Toggle the button to disable it. Enter the old PIN. Toggle the button to enable it. Enter the new PIN.

Battery backup for a house. Assuming that PowerShare grows in capability to include time of day load shifting, charging on solar, etc. It could be as simple as plugging in the truck and letting it stay parked. Vehicle pack to battery storage hasn’t taken off yet as a secondary market, but...

CT should get a conservative battery cycle life of 1500 full 100% to 0 cycles. Or 400,000 miles -ish before degradation makes it unfeasible to use it as a vehicle. Then as stationary storage…. A long time. Using a more conservative daily charge limit of 75% max and not discharging below...

Yes. In the app tab (the three dots) at the bottom of the screen. There is a “rear screen” shortcut that you can either just open or add to the lower menu bar. There is an option to lock the screen. Or otherwise control it.

it’s also very probable that he staged the whole thing for viral YouTube clicks. I’m sure he’s actually much smarter than his persona in the video. He knows what gets the most views. And he knows his main audience is all diesel truck bros.

When he pulled the Cybertruck off the concrete culverts, it dropped 5 ft and the hitch landed right on that concrete cross beam holding the culverts from rolling. Pretty sure that’s what broke it. Then the kinetic pull.

Yes, that is where the passenger front airbag is. The dash material is thin and pre-scribed above the airbag so that it deploys without sending shrapnel into your face and deploys reliably. It’s typical to have a visible cut line, depression or bump in that are due to the tolerance stack up...

Had one of those. Used it for long distance commuting. First car I've owned that I truly didn't care what happened to it. And it took a ton of abuse, but kept running well and looking good. The panels were actually injection molded with that color, so scratches didn't matter. Couldn't door...

Thanks for the heads up. Just visualizing that gave me those spine tingling heebie jeebies. I got my ring and pinky fingers smashed in a sliding van door as a kid due to my sister closing it as i got out of the passenger front door. Extra vigilant now.... but all it takes is a momentary...

Same. And my email very specifically stated the CyberBeast still gets the $4000 installation credit AND the hardware. And the survey very specifically stated that if I’m denied or deny PowerShare installation, that I would get the $2500 voucher. I was approved for PowerShare in February.

Just wait until you haven't been to a gas station in months (or a year+) and then you get annoyed and frustrated by how dirty the pumps are and that you're standing out in the freezing cold filling up your rental car before you have to return it.
