Have you heard they are going to start adding active speed limiters in cars? Using the GPS to determine the road you’re on and therefore the limit. These sorts of issues should make things real interesting . But hey, if only one life is saved then it’s worth it, right?

And this thread is now a news article https://qz.com/tesla-cybertruck-warranty-coolant-leak-mileage-1851470429 I’m starting to think lazy journalists are going to the forums for news

Reminds me of this

This thread got a mention in The Verge https://www.theverge.com/2024/4/15/24131237/tesla-delivery-delay-accelerator-pedal-stuck

All new vehicles have teething issues. The Cybertruck is an unprecedented vehicle built on multiple revolutionary technologies. Therefore, you can expect many teething issues. It's not like they simply decided to build a bigger Y, for example (like an Ocean). Early adopters mostly knew this and...

This was a great review. It’s hard to find anything new to say about the truck, and I feel like I’ve read it all. I feel like comparing this to a normal F-150 isn’t accurate, more like a Raptor R or TRX in terms of performance and purpose. Those cost way more than the Cyberbeast and need...

Good point, I had overlooked that. This is reminiscent of when someone has a moral panic over something and then uses terminology indicating they know very little about the topic.

I’m not surprised when I see forum threads referred to in esoteric YouTube channels, but it was a bit wild to see screencaps in a major news outlet.

My dad just sent me this article, "Tesla’s Cybertrucks were ‘rushed out,’ are malfunctioning at astounding rate", which features threads from this forum https://nypost.com/2024/04/08/business/teslas-cybertrucks-were-rushed-out-are-malfunctioning-at-astounding-rate/ I am now posting it here...

Nice, it's kind of funny how Ely is right in the middle of a ring of Superchargers. It will be a welcome addition that breaks up one of the last no-go zones for Teslas in the lower 48.

This conversation is very interesting and helpful for me, as I have no four wheel sand experience, just with motorcycles. I look forward to adventuring with a CT one day, but I wouldn't go into soft sand without Maxtrax and a shovel. Possibly also a winch and a deadman. Does that track with...

I love this story and to hear this makes you and your wife so happy. Life is short, enjoy it while you can!

$20k difference, not $40k. If that is all that kept you from the Cyberbeast, I hope this lets you pull the trigger.

I agree. I have a MSP, and now that I'm accustomed to sub-3s 0-60 times, I have a hard time imagining going back. For $20k, why not get the fast one?

I think you meant to write "they will be demand-constrained"?

The best reason to own TSLA is so that, when the bots decide to reappropriate all our atoms, they'll save the shareholders for last. Like how Robocop couldn't arrest the board members of OCP. Just a thought.

I believe it. I went with C&D observed highway mileage, and here is how they get that number. I also didn't notice that the TRX requires premium, so expect closer to $5/gal (I guess? Idk, I live in CA). Point being, the operating cost of the CT seems on the low end within the realm of high...

In general if you go with a credit union you will get lower rates. Why? Because they are non-profits, technically cooperatives, and not having to pay investors nor taxes means they can charge you less. So pick any credit union and you're ahead of the game.

Fair point, chargers along that route are around $0.39/kWh. I've seen it as low as $0.17 (at a Las Vegas Tesla center in off hours) but $0.40ish is typical for a road trip. I scout around for $0.23 locally. Obviously if you start off with a full charge at home, the first leg can be very...

I love doing road trips through the southwest and Nevada is no exception. I'm looking forward to Tesla completing the Supercharger in Ely, that will fill a huge gap in the network so we can do US-50. In my experience TACC does a lot of phantom braking when there is heat mirage -- that shimmer...
