Anyone tried these out yet in 275/65 R20? Looking for experience specifically with snow/ice driving, wet roads, and efficiency.

Two weeks guiding in Yellowstone with clients, and the only real complaint is the rear window may be a too bit small. I think it’s fine though. The back end of the bed gets snow inside, but I think I can fix that with some weather stripping. Charging with the 30A chargepoint in Gardiner, MT was...

The day started at -22°F, and the cold weather charging bug kept the charge from properly finishing overnight. I had to go over at 5am and set the destination to a supercharger in order to warm the battery enough to start charging again with AC for a couple more hours. The bug limits power to...

I’ve previously been able to schedule charging to end at a certain time, and it worked correctly. It should start at 5AM tomorrow to reach the limit at 11AM, but it’s just starting right away. If I stop charging now, it won’t automatically restart in the morning at the right time, at least the...

As a wildlife photographer in Yellowstone, lots of animals will see my truck this year. If only humans could be so indifferent 😂

My Model 3 manual specifically said chill mode helps improve efficiency in cold weather because it does not try to keep the battery warm enough for peak acceleration. I couldn’t find similar wording in the Cybertruck manual until today. “Improve the efficiency of the cabin heating or cooling...

Mentioned to service that FSD was dry wiping often, causing scratches on the windshield. I got a new wiper blade and wiper motor (not sure why). They also said I’d be getting a new wiper arm, but it isn’t listed on the service summary. My advisor confirmed the wiper blade is an updated design...

“Device cluster assembly” is being replaced during my service visit and the advisor didn’t have a clue what it actually is. The service manual shows it being a pretty significant operation. He could not tell me for certain if it’s even related to one of my concerns or just being done. Google...

Arrived with 18% and topped out at 321kW at the Farr West, UT supercharger

First trip into Yellowstone with the Cybertruck. Traction and handling is incredible. It’s so smooth on both icy pavement and bumpy dirt roads. Efficiency was 337Wh/mi over a full 129 mile tour, even starting at 15° and snow covered roads the whole day. Blizzak tires, wheel covers on, going...

Last night my truck was locked, unplugged, and parked outside. It didn’t sleep the entire night. I decided to check the WiFi, and the signal was very weak. I turned it off from inside the truck and it went to sleep right away. It may have been trying to upload data or something, but try it out...

These four Rivian DC chargers look ready for opening soon, and they’re the new design with cables ready for other CCS vehicles. Rivian said in April they’d be opening to other brands “later this year” and… it’s later this year. Any clues as to a date? Rivians can use a lot of superchargers now...

Looking at Blizzak LT and Nokian Hakkapeliita LT3, in 275/65/20. I assume it’s a negligible efficiency difference between the two but read that Blizzak may be softer, though better on ice. I’ve also read Nokian may do better on dry pavement, not being as soft. I have Blizzak on Subaru Ascent...

I understand there is no physical center diff. An Out of Spec video shows the beast version towing on dirt to be primarily front wheel drive with the permanent magnet being in front. This was causing tire spin until the rear motors kicked in. My dual motor Model 3 is rear wheel favored until...

How far into 2023 reservations are we? A few days ago Sawyer Merritt mentioned on X that emails had been sent to Feb 2023 reservations. I ordered Nov 20th (RN1204) and impatiently waiting for my email 🙂

Is anyone planning to take advantage of the $7,500 business tax credit (clean commercial vehicle)? If so, what is your business and how will you use the CT for it? There is no MSRP or income limit, so the foundation series should qualify, assuming it’s a legitimate use. I promise I’m not the...

I realize it’s almost July, but does anyone have some efficiency numbers from early deliveries this past winter? Preferably slower average speeds below 60mph, and legitimate northern states cold. Our Model 3 LR kept ~85% this winter in West Yellowstone, Montana (garaged). Hopefully the CT can...
