I didn't test it without the Victory 4x4 fairing and the tent moved back. I only tested it with the two setups pictured below.
I believe that most of the wind noise was happening from wind going under the RTT:
The Victory 4x4 wind/tent fairing + the Mars Wind Deflector was the magic bullet...
Not much of a change in efficiency. 🤗 I don't have any specific scientific numbers, but I'm guessing a loss of ~40 Wh/mi. mostly due to the weight (e.g., an additional 180 lbs total for rack, wind deflectors, awning, and tent).
The RTT I chose is the Inspired Overland Carbonlite. I'm 6'1" and I...
In this 2-minute video, I give an overview of my build:
Roof rack
Rooftop tent
270º awning
Wind deflector
Additonal tent fairing
Weatherstripping
This is the result of many hours of research and troubleshooting, and I'm extremely happy with the result.
Enjoy! 📐
Some lightbars only turn on/off using the "Power Feed (Roof)" toggle under "Outlets & Mods", but I'm looking for a lightbar that integrates with the actual lightbar feature within the touchscreen like the OEM Tesla lightbar.
I'm curious... has anyone installed a lightbar that integrates with...
I didn't know this was an option either. Just found it:
1. Open the app on your phone
2. Tap: Security & Drivers
3. Tap: Manage Drivers
4. Tap: Name of driver
5. Toggle on: "Restrict Location Visibility"
Later that same season on the same property, I was driving the south fence line when I saw a buck about 200 yards down the line. I put the truck in park, opened my door, grabbed the 270 from the bed, used the side mirror as a rest, and made a nice heart shot. He was staring at the truck...
I believe the OEM All Terrain have slightly better range than the platinums… but if you go that route, you will lose significant dollars due to their lower lifespan.
I just bit the bullet and had these installed by Discount Tire in Boerne, TX for $2,401.71 with their lifetime warranty and rotation/balance after 13 months of Cybertruck ownership.
Replaced the stock Pirelli all season tires at 22,700 mi. which had a tread depth of 5/4/4/3.
First impressions...
How much did y'all pay out the door for 4 Michelin Defender LTX Platinum tires for your Cybertruck?
I'm looking at a grand total of $2,508.65 from Discount Tire in San Antonio, TX (after all fees, lifetime rotation/balance/repair, and tax).
I didn't go with the Cybertent for the reason that it is so much work not only to set up and to put away. It's also a lot cheaper and lot less work to initially get installed. (Installing the rack + roof top tent was a lot of work to get installed just right).
But, I also installed a 270º...
Awesome! 👏
I'm taking my 12-year-old son on a 9 day trip from San Antonio to the Hot Air Balloon Festival in Albuquerque, the Grand Canyon, Zion, and Bryce Canyon starting October 10th, camping nearly every night in a Roof Top Tent.
I have the charging stops planned out with 3 nights gaining a...
