I saw a wrapped landrover the other day - the model was about five years old - wrap looked horrible, cumulative damage and scuffs.
after three weeks I’m loving the natural SS finish - no rust evident.
Yes, mine is the only Cybertruck in New Orleans, so it gets a lot of attention, but I have never seen a vehicle that generates as many smiles and happy faces. Thumbs up, air bump, the joy on seeing this vehicle is infectious. Crosses racial lines, sex lines and age lines.
Got up this morning prepared for the task of cleaning a weeks worth of fingerprints and grime. Also prepared to put a coat of Protectaclear.
Power sprayer - put on a layer of Dawn suds. Scrubbed with microfiber towel. Power washed off. Generally big improvement but noticed there were stains...
Instructions indicate you can use many solvents - but no 1 is xylene - banned in CA and pretty nasty stuff. Denatured alcohol is on the list but in my experience often has a chemical residue.
What is the solvent of choice?
Took delivery today; I drove sedately up to 80, no shiver. My son punched it to 105, steady as a rock.
However I think it’s weird there are no aural proximity warning to objects close to sides or rear. Spent 20 minutes looking for software switch to turn that on. Can’t find it, but can’t...
Took delivery of AWD this morning, great experience, thanks to entire staff of Brandon MS! Truck was clean and well presented; red bow and smoke as it drove out the door. Good introduction and run through. Paperwork done in two minutes.
The drove 220 miles home and arrived with 26% battery.
Of...
Which is, in a way, and indictment of the design. SS was touted as a wonder material, but the reality is, high maintenance, subject to bizarre appearance if you are too vigorous cleaning and splotchy.
nonetheless I’ll keep mine stainless for a month and then see. I’m notorious for dirty cars.
Just had a phone call from the delivery center wanting to verify that I will actually be there at the appointed time for delivery. Said they had an event planned. She sounds really excited!
I assured them that I was just as excited.
Now that I think of it this is the first vehicle I will have...
Just read the alignment service manual. Definitely something only a Tesla shop should do. Can’t imagine Joe’s Alignment shop reading through these very Tesla instructions. Also would hate to be the first Cybertruck a Tesla shop had worked on.
First stop I will make will be to our Tesla service...
Curious about this; since it’s entirely steer by wire toe in would be a software align; camber might be adjustable but probably not in a traditional manner. Best left to a Tesla shop.
