@Outdoors Here's the video as requested. If there's something I didn't cover that you'd like to see, just let me know. Since I'm relatively new to welding, constructive feedback on my technique is welcome. Since it embedded the video and doesn't show my comments on YouTube, here are a few...

I'm going to assume carrier truck since I'm only a few hours away from the factory in Austin, but I don't know for sure.

Maybe 5-6 feet away. I'm not at all concerned about surface rust, and if it does show up, I'll clean it off. It's well documented how to do so. If people are concerned about rust, I've seen no reason for it. I've had my truck about two and a half weeks now and it has sat outside the entire time...

Agreed on the bigger welders. You won't be doing any industrial welding with the CT, but I've tried welding 1/4" steel on 110v and my welder really struggles. Running off the 220v on the CT was just as smooth and clean as my dedicated 50 amp circuit I have on the house. Certainly good enough for...

My wife pointed out our Ring camera may have caught my welding yesterday. Turns out it did and I found this clip with my official report on how well it worked towards the end. I’ll still try to get something up today showing power draw, but thought a few of you may get a chuckle out of this one.

Hah! I absolutely feel the same way about some of the stupid videos I've seen. The wife says she'll play camera lady for me tomorrow afternoon, so I'll see if I can't put something up and share the link.

I've seen some YouTube videos of people running various appliances off the outlets in the truck and one where someone was trying to run a plasma cutter along with multiple other appliances with mixed results. I finally got around to testing my dual voltage MIG welder...

I bought a PS5 controller to keep in the truck and can confirm it pairs and works perfectly. I keep it plugged into the usb C port in the center console so it’s always charged and we used it quite a bit to kill time on a road trip this weekend.

After less than a week of driving the Cybertruck, I ended up just removing the rear view mirror and I turned off the rear camera feed as well. I was trying to adjust, but it just didn't feel natural to me after decades of driving with a physical rear view mirror. While out driving over the...

Took delivery today. AWD

That would be aggravating for sure. This is not our first Tesla, so I held off on any payments until I had a VIN and delivery date assigned. I held off on sending the down payment until about 24 hours prior to delivery and after multiple confirmations everything was on track. My issue was that...

100%. I let my temper get the best of me after they said they would not make an exception and after I had already paid for the vehicle, but you are spot on and I called the guy back and apologized to him. I told him I know it’s not his fault and he’s just doing his job and that I appreciate them...

I understand not delivering due to a safety issue, but that was not how it was characterized by the person who called me. He made it sound more like a cosmetic defect. I told him I can understand if it’s a safety issue, but if it’s just cosmetic, I am okay with brining it back later for the...

I'm supposed to take delivery in about five hours and just got a call telling me they found a problem with an interior door panel and they won't allow me to take delivery until it is replaced. Same situation where I've fully paid for the vehicle and they can't give me an ETA on when I can take...

I read that as he's projecting ~80k deliveries by the end of December but there is one more data point beyond that showing 100k. That would seem to align with January 2025 based solely on the number of points on the line. He has it at 12k/year run rate starting the year, which would translate...

I actually worked with @newwave1331 to ingest everything he has gathered up to this point, so they should be identical up to yesterday. Everything from that point forward is based on the scans I am running.

Thanks for the shoutout, @newwave1331, and thanks to you and @cvalue13 for all the help, feedback, and input to get this process going! In an effort to further automate the VIN activation tracking and take some of the burden off @newwave1331, I have built an automated mechanism to check VIN...

Congrats! Would love to know how the pickup process goes and if you see any other CTs there for delivery. I placed my FS AWD order on 12/9 to be picked up in Plano and don't even have a VIN yet. :/

Sorry to hear about your brother in law. ? We all appreciate the work you're doing, but family is far more important and is understandably the priority.

Nice! Taking delivery at the Plano or Cedar Springs location? I’m wondering if they’ll do deliveries at both or try to funnel through one until the teams are all ramped up.
