Tesla proactively recommended that my front motor be replaced last month at 18,900 miles. Today, at 19,600 miles (11 days later) I got an alert that the front motor has been disabled. I never had a problem with it, until they replaced it.
They just came to install the new Backup Switch that goes behind the meter. You can see that the unit is different. Even the metal being used is different.
The first photo is the old backup switch.
New backup switch
I live in the San Francisco Bay Area and my installer is Willow Glen Electric. I believe they are the primary installer for the Home Backup Gateway that came with the Foundation Series Cybertruck. I got an interesting email this morning from them.
As background:
Cybertruck delivered February...
At highway speeds (66 mph) and 82°F, I have a very noticeable rattle coming from the speaker area above the center console. Trying to pinpoint the exact problem. Here is a video (below).
Any ideas?
According to Pacific Gas & Electric, 1 in 6 Tesla’s sold in the United States are sold into their service territory. So I was surprised to get this letter yesterday from Tesla regarding my PowerShare Backup Gateway, Backup Switch and Universal Wall Charger that has already been installed (March...
Tesla scheduled a service for me (without me requesting one) to inspect & torque the rear subframe to the body. I have not seen or read any other posts about this service. I am going in tomorrow June 5th to drop it off.
I drove my CyberTruck today for the first time since the major update. Prior to the update I was averaging 393 Wh/mi. Today on the highway I was seeing 351 Wh/mi for a round trip of 67 miles. 90% highway. Keeping it at or below 70 mph.
That is approximately an 11% increase in efficiency. I am...
I noticed that when the temperature lowers my tonneau cover becomes a chameleon on the last for slats. They will change colors. But when the temps on normal and the sun hits them, they black like the rest of them. I thought it was lighting or the angle I was looking at them, but they change...
Yesterday, my Universal Wall Charger was installed along with the PowerShare Backup Gateway 3V. However, they said Pacific Gas & Electric will need to come out to installed the backup switch behind the meter and the company who did the install will need to complete the PowerShare implementation...
Today while driving my two day old Cybertruck going about 25 mph down the road the screen flashed red and said Critical Error/Failure. I wasn’t able to capture that because I was focusing on pulling over.
But I was able to snap photos of some of the alerts. First Tesla, so none of these are...
I was able to pick up my Cybertruck yesterday and when I got it home under the motion light in my driveway, I noticed one portion of the panel reflected the light differently. When I looked close it appears like some sort of sander was taken to the panel.
Thoughts?
Talk about click bait. When is one of these YouTubers who are hunting for clicks going to make a real non-clickbait video of the first Cybertruck connected to the V4 charger so we can see the results? It appears Wilsonville, OR and Sparks, NV have the V4 superchargers. The one in Oregon is...
Nobody appears to be talking about not having the Universal Wall Charger in the truck when you pick it up during delivery.
When do you get the charger installed? How has that process worked? For someone who does not have any EV’s and no charging at home, what is the wait/gap time from picking...
Finally someone got their truck super dirty and then took it through a car wash. The reviewer said they got the Ceramic Duck, but you can see when they went thru the car wash the Lucky Duck was what he got. I think the Ceramic coating would not have worked well. The reviewer responded to my...
After attending the delivery event on November 30th, Tesla was silent on a variety of topics, but the website filled many of the blanks. However, one major item that nobody appears to be talking about is whether or not Full Self Driving is included. It is not mentioned as an option anywhere in...
This video shows three things:
Two screens (Driver + Main)
Multiple Storage Bins in the Truck bed (3)
Best view of the mid gate. The window is down, but it looks like the mid gate is modular in nature, which leads me to believe it comes down.
In addition, not looks like this vehicle is being...
