Not sure if the right category, but I want to ask about driving the truck. My current habits might seem strange to some. I try to not use the brake, ever. I am only partly successful. Using the brake is a sign of defeat. All that energy to gain momentum and you just put it into waste heat in a...

Tesla.com advertises only the one Wall Charger. It does not list it as being compatible with the CT. Should I wait until the Wall Charger is updated or is it a safe buy now? I have a 150 foot run to the CT garage and will need some summer months to get the electrical system in place. Always...

looking up 30x stainless steel plates on McMaster Carr today. 301 6” by 6” plates $26.29; 303 6 x 6” $162.65; 304 6 x 6” for $13.17; 321 6x6 for $18.47. different thicknesses, a bit confusing. But seems like 30x will be close to 304.

Please tell me how ferromagnetic it is. Qualitatively.

Based on this discussion, no wrap for me. But I do need my company name and logo on sides. What is best? Paint, vinyl, epoxy paint, magnetic? Do magnetic even work on stainless? Other choices?

#3 probably silly, but I always wanted to be able to flash my headlights alternately, like the emergency people do. It get attention!

#2 how about the Tesla T hood ornament? I would show it proudly.

Backup camera shows the ball hitch hook up to a trailer tongue. Use the hydraulic adjustable height to ease onto the trailer, then just lock it and go,

The design looks like corona virus.

Nice. First frame looks like exhaust under rear wheels. Needs a tuneup? But then I saw it was only dust.

600 emery cloth then jewelers rouge, a lot of time, and you can get a mirror finish on that baby. Looking forward to seeing that.

I recently bought rechargeable lithium flashlights from China, of course, and they come with a new battery size. Called 18650, they are bigger than a AA, smaller than a C size battery. Are these the same cells that are made in a Tesla battery? Would a Tesla battery, disassembled, run my...

I would like to know more about the energy monitoring. I expect some battery monitoring functions. Total miles per KWH? Miles to go before battery dies? Total KWH consumption to date? Efficiency of usage with respect to acceleration and braking? Regenerative options? How about a scorecard so...

Not so many nuts and bolts in this truck, compared to all of the older ones. But is it SAE or metric? I suspect metric.

Anyone ready to guess the type of 300 type stainless steel it is made of? I bet that information is available somewhere because it is in their rocket too. There are 5 or 6 common types of stainless in this class of metals. The type used is advertised as 30x with the x being the hidden number...

Replacing TWO vehicles. A Ford F350 and a diesel VW bug. Why keep an ICE when electricity is cheaper and cleaner?

My number is 303,4xx. I had to take a couple of days to convince my wife. Now she is a true believer. I hope I will prove to be patient too.

Anyone want to help explain what the “T” system in the bed is. What accessories go with that? Just eye bolts and ratchet straps, or it there more to it?

Stainless steel snow plows seem to be a thing around here. My nephew had one and all the big boys do too. Center pivot is the most fun type, called a V plow. Probably around $5,500 installed on a “normal” truck. I hope those clever California engineers make a provision for us North Easterners.

Buying a Cybertruck means I get rid of both F350 and diesel VW. But also means hooking up and unhooking trailer nearly every day. A minor chore with the F350, but could be greatly improved if a hookup camera or other hookup aid included. Any hope for making this chore take less than 10 minutes?
