Aye, when it first faulted that was my hope.... that it was some anomaly within the app. Alas, everything else I did was from the truck's console... to no avail.

Like the OP, I live in a rural area and depend upon my Cybertruck as "Plan A" to provide emergency backup power for my home. That's a critical issue for me because without power I don't have running water - I am on a well. And without running water my pipes will freeze (98-year-old farmhouse)...

Turning on Climate will heat the battery, if it is cold enough. Navigating to a Supercharger will, as well, but that of course requires you to be in the vehicle. There are some other challenges with using the Cybertruck as a backup power source in extreme conditions. I'll post something once...

$96.50/month for my 2024 AWD Cybertruck, through Erie (and a good, local insurance agent). Older, high credit rating, no kids on the policy, and neither the wife nor I are the kind of folks who have accidents, get tickets, or make claims. Bundled home/auto helps a little. Actual policy is...

Nothing.

Truck owners are probably the most conservative car-buying demographic out there. The most likely to embrace anti-EV dogma. The least likely to objectively consider an EV of any sort. And particularly disinclined to accept a vehicle that looks radically different from what they think of as a...

LOL.

The ascent begins slowly, like the lazy stretching of one’s arms. Just a little tickle of the senses. A prologue of what’s to come. It’s not that there aren’t curves. It’s just that you glide through one and then you have a little distance, a few moments, before the next one arrives. It’s all...

Yes, the phone-key is enormously convenient the vast majority of the time. But I, too, have experienced the very rare occasion where it suddenly doesn't work. My protocol is to always grab both my phone and my wallet - where the key card lives - whenever I step out of the vehicle. The key...

An unequivocal yes. It's a common misimpression that "AWD" means all wheels are powered, all the time. Not true. You can command the truck to constantly power all four wheels either by engaging Slippery Surface (Controls > Dynamics > Slippery Surface) or by engaging Off-Road mode. But in...

I'll take a leap and suggest that perhaps it's not the wisest choice to take a not-obvious-how-it-works thing, not read the instructions, then try and sort through how to make it work... in the dark. And then pronounce it to have usability issues because that all didn't go well. I dunno...

You can certainly test-drive (or rent) a Cybertruck to explore its driving dynamics (which are superb). But Lithium battery chemistries haven't meaningfully changed since your 2022 Model Y and 2023 Model X. You're going to have the same challenges, especially during the winter. The...

I replaced the original tires on my 24 AWD CT ten days ago, at 16,811 miles. Largely because the right rear wheel had been exhibiting accelerated tire wear since the vehicle was new. (I still had some months of tread left on the other three tires). I assume that accelerated wear was because of...

Sure. They replaced the rear drive unit due to "low isolation resistance." Truck has been perfect since.

Depends upon transceiver frequency, position and type of radio antenna, transmit power level, and susceptibility of the electronic device. A conductor - and that means anything metallic, not just "wire" - longer than about 1/10 of a wavelength begins to act like an antenna. That's how various...

It was the worst of times. It was the best of times. Brutal weather here in the mid-Atlantic overnight. Ambient temps in the teens. But high, sustained winds producing wind chills near zero. I spent my night getting up every hour to run water through the pipes. The winds made it possible...

LOL. Sure, figuring out a non-obvious, MacGyver-kind of solution to a problem can be very satisfying. If that's the kind of situation you're in, if those are the only kind of options available to you, that's what you do. I agree with you that believing that you can or can't do something is...

Yes, like you I carry a high quality plug kit in all my vehicles and that's always my first go-to. And with the Cybertruck and its ability to both raise the suspension and rotate the rear wheels outward... it's hard for me to imagine many scenarios where one couldn't repair a puncture with the...

Tire compounds today are far more puncture resistant than they were in years past. But they still happen. I had a flat on my Cybertruck a year ago; and a flat on my Model 3 the year before that (and I promise I'm not a drug smuggler! :cool: Carrying a plug kit and compressor; or schlepping...

Visually, all looks well with the charge port door. No uneven gap or anything like that. My impression is that it simply is a too-tight sample of the plastic charge port itself. Probably just a slightly out-of-spec manufacturing lot. Doubtful if many, since I haven't heard of anyone else...
