Yep, the recessed look of the "mismatched" wheel caps is not bad at all... in fact, when I first put the "correct" Core Wheel cap on, it looked slightly weird to me because I was so used to the recessed look on my truck.
Tesla OEM ones (and I assume third party ones) come with a little metal pull tool. It's easy enough to remove with the tool; just have to pull hard and catch the cap before it falls to the ground. It would be pretty difficult to remove without a tool... in other words, they're not going to fall...
Telsa quietly made available the Core Wheel version of the Wheel Cap Kit on the Tesla shop at some point. Same price as the Cyber Wheels one, $60 USD.
I bought the Cyber ones 2nd hand for my Core wheels and they fit great, but were slightly recessed. The only difference with these specific core...
Congrats! You still got steer-by-wire, which is an underrated killer feature of Cybertruck in my book.
Could you take a photo from the backseat showing the vent area? I read the RWD removed the back touchscreen and am curious on how they did that... but can't find a photo of it anywhere.
At around 2:23 in the video he said he made some modifications to meet regulations over there and two that caught me eye are:
- indicator turn signal light in the side view mirror housing
- indicator turn signal light inside the rear tail lights
Anyway, those two mods are probably one offs...
Definitely considering this. Also waiting on the install video to see all the attachment points.
Would also like to see the part not installed on the truck, closeup view of the edges/corners/seams, and maybe side by side comparison with the original plastic part.
But yeah, an install video...
No, just no. (to this rumor) The reddit poster this rumor spread from confirmed in that same thread that by "Tesla rep," they were meaning "phone support rep".
There are multiple much more believable reports on social media of people calling the Tesla Support number with Cybertruck related...
Yes, the email invite came on Tues around 5pm CST. Apparently a lot of other people also got Foundation invites at this time, as per Facebook and X.
I originally got the option to start designing the evening of Dec 15, but no email invite, and it mysteriously disappeared by 1pm Dec 16.
This video is killing me... My foundation invite email came in today and I would be picking up from this same service center in Austin for the same spec (AWD)... But I'm waiting for non-Foundation... Or at least that's what I'm telling myself until I give in.
I had mine rescinded same as others in the 2nd tranche (evening Dec 15 the blue "Start Designing" button appeared in app/website, by 1pm Dec 16 the option was gone, just reverted back to normal reservation state). I never got an invite email.
I'm thinking the ones who had invites that didn't...
Thanks for the heads up! Same on mine. Blue "Start Designing" button on the Manage Reservation page for my reservation. RN1127443XX, in TX.
Now I get to test my resolve to be financially prudent and wait for the non-Foundation AWD that will qualify for the tax credit... or somehow justify 100K...

They say they are doing Active Road Noise Cancellation using the speakers.
@45:28
They make a somewhat sneaky comment that "long term target is 500" miles of range with the range extender.
So maybe initially it's 460-470, but later revisions of the range extender will be 500+.
My thought process goes like this. Not every foundation invite sent out will covert to a sale for Tesla. For any myriad of reasons, the invited buyer will just not get the foundation version. At that point, the reservation for a Cybertruck just sits unfulfilled in their account.; it doesn't...
Have not received any email and nothing changed on the website for me.

Given that the all-weather mats are $295 US in the Tesla shop (https://shop.tesla.com/product/cybertruck-all-weather-interior-liners), I'm going to guess they are not standard.
Wow, that rear view camera fogging up or getting blurry at 1:52 is kind of scary. I wonder if the rear camera has spray cleaning function like the front one?
While waiting for Cybertruck, traded cars with my wife over a year ago. Essentially driving what was my wife's SUV while she drives our 2018 Model 3 RWD. Going back to getting gas at a gas station is brutal. The truck can't come soon enough.
OP here, holy smokes, that would be awesome!
I even tweeted Elon back in July 2020 (that no one saw). If it comes to fruition, I'll happily accept all the credit. ;)
