    2026.14.6.7 Installed...Why did I get it so Early?

    Had the alert pop up today around 5:30 that an update was available. Haven't tried it out yet, but now I feel special after seeing the fleet stats (surely a mistake):

    Charging rate appears to be below 1C

    These posts are always funny. "The CT sucks in [insert category]" Yeah man, its a product made by flawed humans and there are compromises. German cars are luxurious but require lots of maintenance, Japanese cars run long but rust, some American cars have glorious V8s but have PlaySkool...

    What The Hell is Doug DeMuro Smoking?

    From what I've seen recently: if a YouTube vid has the CT in the title, it's there for cheap clickbait. The video could be positive, negative, factual, bullshit...doesn't matter. Every single time it's to lure someone into clicking and it's such a lame low effort lowest common denominator...

    Tint + PPF = Game Changer for the Tesla Glass Roof

    I've noticed that these external tint/protection films are becoming more available. Some brands like CarPro even have them for the windshield, though I doubt anything would hold up well to wipers over time. The glass roof seems like a pretty great place to put it and external mounting makes it...

    NY State Registration + Inspection Sticker Holder

    I thought about doing the same for my PA sticker, though I wasn't sure if it would be legal to not mount the sticker to the windshield 🫣

    Plastic sliders not looking so good

    I've used this stuff by Nextzett for my plastic trim and to thoroughly clean the vault plastic before ceramic coating it. Worked nicely to get it back to a clean plastic after a long salty Pittsburgh winter. I used a soft bristle scrub brush and went over all the trim before a car wash. Their...

    CB vs AWD in handling…the data!

    It's really just a paper weight in stop and go light acceleration, under hard acceleration those motors are doing serious work. The 0-60 and drag race videos between CT and CB are wild. Then again, they better be given the 50% price delta (or more if you got the $7.5K tax credit). Love my CT...

    CB vs AWD in handling…the data!

    These threads are always a shitshow, but I like to argue so I'll hop in the mud 🤠 [checks math multiple times] ...<3% faster in the the Figure-8 = "easily outperforms" and "far faster" :unsure: :ROFLMAO:. These ain't sports cars, they're big comfy straight line trucks at significantly...

    Recalls being handled, finally!

    Good to hear I'm not the only one with a squeaky seat back. Sadly when I took it in last it was cold so the adhesive wouldn't make the noise. I'll just go back this summer since it's noisy now that it's finally hot in PGH.

    Pirelli Scorpion OEM A/S to KO3 tires

    Nah, I agree with you. While the core wheels aren't bad looking, IMO both of the wheel options are forgettable without the covers. It's a basic AF design with meh quality finish. I realized after spending time ceramic coating both sets that Tesla's finish is dog water. Very thin in some places...

    Rage against the machine... [ADMIN WARNING: NO POLITICS]

    Keep it in the glovebox, apply liberally to the area of concern. I'm always stunned by this behavior, since it implies mental illness...but there's two sides to that coin. They're gonna do this to the wrong person one day 😅 Given the vehicles of the other drivers, I think these issues split...

    FSD performs courteous behavior

    Don't want to rain on the fun, but in a scenario where you're in the left most lane leaving a gap like this is a great way to cause an accident if traffic to your right is flowing. Watch WhamBam on YouTube and you're sure to see a #closethegap accident. In this case I guess it's all good and the...

    New Cybertent install. Changes from YouTube videos

    @bnone become a seller on the SCS marketplace and make a lil on the side 🤔. I've thought about it in the past, but I'm doing it all day at work and sometimes at home for baby proofing so I often have my fill of CAD/prototyping for the day. https://sendcutsend.com/marketplace/

    Detailing ruined my Cybertruck

    Looks like 3 of the mediums, 2 fine, 2 very fine. Could probably do 3-2-1 ratio, but I started least aggressive and kind of wasted the first very fine pad. I wanted my last pass across the panels to be light and with a fresh very fine pad. Note, I was removing rather deep gouges and a decent...

    Detailing ruined my Cybertruck

    I purchased this one because I'm already deep into the Milwaukee M12/M18 ecosystem and I know from their DA polishers that then now how to make a battery tool perform. Their brushless motors have some serious power...

    Detailing ruined my Cybertruck

    From my Grainger Order, like I said the MoQ is 20 so it's expensive...but damn it seems cheap compared to the quoted PPF cost 🤔 Note, the Medium grit is the most expensive. I thought it wasn't needed, but it did most of the heavy lifting so don't skip it.

    Detailing ruined my Cybertruck

    Now that you mention it @CyberGus has a good point. I've seen similar issues occur when polishing plastic and building up too much heat, causing white hazing/discoloration. The solution is to use a more coarse grit, remove the thin discolored layer, and then sand/polish back down through the...

    Detailing ruined my Cybertruck

    Pretty much in full agreement with @HaulingAss. The hardest part of the refinishing process was accepting that the minimum order quantity for the Tesla specified Blendex pads was so high ($$$). The process itself is rather simple and well laid out in Tesla's refinishing guide. Regarding the...
