    Cybertruck just cruising the 405 in LA... video capture

    ... OR you buy a $7.99 ELM327 OBDII reader on Amazon and read/clear the code yourself. I've "fixed" several "Your gas cap is loose" codes for friends. I just keep it in my truck. It connects wirelessly to my phone and I use the free "Torque" app.

    New roof rack / crossbar spotted on Cybertruck

    Well laid out and said. Kudos to you, sir.

    RC Decal'd Cybertruck spotted at Las Vegas Tesla Supercharger [new video added]

    LOL. That's probably true. My wife complains that Home Depot has the smallest parking spots for people who typically drive the largest vehicles.

    'Master Candidate' Cybertrucks reportedly spotted at Giga Texas [updated w/ photos]

    You won't be able to see the hood at all nor will the interior ever reflect on a closed hood... they lie in the same plane. You'd have to stick your head through the windshield to see the closed hood and THAT would be a very bad day.

    Interesting. I can tell you it's loads easier to back in and also pull straight out in crowded or tight lots.

    Cybertruck bed vault lighting is so clean (clearest photo yet)

    Except that's where the vault cover goes. The window doesn't meet the forward bulkhead there.

    Cybertruck bed vault lighting is so clean (clearest photo yet)

    I'm much more simple. I would like a roll-down rear window because in my experience driving truck shaped trucks, opening the rear window helps limit buffeting and helps direct wind so it's not all in your face. That may not be the case in the Cybertruck but having the option to shape wind...

    Purported Tesla Employee Confirms No 240v Outlet

    You know those bikes that you've seen people riding to power their TVs? I'm ordering two of those but in treadmill form to run my house. My plan is to back my CT onto them and put it in reverse. That should let me spin the treadmills at a steady 15mph to keep things up and running. What...

    Confirmed Cybertruck specs: 5% smaller, 6x4 bed size, 5 seats, frunk, no pass through & more... (info from Tesla employee at Investor Day)

    Oh, I would have gone with "Just because you haven't seen a million dollars, doesn't mean it doesn't exist." - Charlie Calvin aka "Sport"

    Video: Cybertruck Vents Air Suspension Pressure While Lowering! 💨 + Close Look at Bed Vault!

    Wait... Even Ford's smallest truck, the Maverick, has more than a 4' wide bed. What trucks don't? EDIT: The Maverick is only 4' wide for plywood above the wheel wells but they use a dual-position Tailgate to limit the difficulty of carrying sheets of plywood.

    Funny story... My first time in Germany, we are driving on some highway and I keep seeing the signs for Ausfahrt... After a few signs, I though "Man, this must be a pretty big city we're passing..."

    That'd be interesting. I wonder how much of that is determined by parkinglot aisle and spot-width measurements. I can assure you that EVERY single truck parked in the row I park in at work here is backed in. Every single one. Now, to be fair, as I walk to the building, I pass a single truck...

    Video: Cybertruck Vents Air Suspension Pressure While Lowering! 💨 + Close Look at Bed Vault!

    No, I'm not trolling. I didn't see the difference. I thought being adaptive, it would move faster. I went back and watched the video. I suppose it did drop a noticeable amount. I was just thinking it would be more, a bit quicker, and less noisy.

    So... "Letting off some pressure"... I'm sure it was doing something, but I didn't notice a change in suspension height... maybe firmness?

    I wonder why Tesla doesn't simply angle the charge ports toward the rear of the vehicles. The placement could remain the same. It would fless the cables a little less than requiring the 90 degree turn they do now.

    Counterpoint: Most of the truck owners I know always, always, always back into spots. This is especially true when there isn't much of an aisle. A 22' long truck can't even start turning until it's completely out of the spot if you are backing out. If you are pulling forward, you can start...

    Waiting for UAW shoe to drop?

    it might shut them down for a little while but they'd run out of funds in less than 90 days and people start getting antsy to return to work once they have to go a few pay periods without checks. OR, the individual companies cave to demand (or go under) and start producing.
