    V2G coming to Cybertruck soon

    They'll pay more than you pay. If they didn't, nobody would help and they'd be faced with brownouts or equipment damage if the peaker plant doesn't respond to an outage or increase in demand fast enough. It's cheaper to pay you to utilize your battery capacity than it is for them to either...

    V2G coming to Cybertruck soon

    So, there you are, you just charged up overnight and are sitting with an 80% battery. Suddenly, there's a brownout due to a frozen manifold valve at the local natural gas auxilary power plant (tops off for that big nuclear joint down the street that can't be spun up and down all willy nilly)...

    Thinking of canceling my Cyberbeast order (HW5)

    Sometimes I wonder if I bought the Delorean DMC-12 or the Pontiac Aztec... the future will tell.

    2026 vs early 2024? CT Evolution question

    Yeah... the rep at Tesla told me my Model Y FSD transfer was completed... It wasn't. We lost FSD. I'd get that in writing and not just in the app because Tesla's answer was "The SC was wrong." Still bitter about it...

    Thinking of canceling my Cyberbeast order (HW5)

    Hey, FSD... I was almost all the way home. Just turned off the highway at a light. Driving along, FSD suddenly braked. "Hey, my first phantom braking!". I overrode FSD and started in on the go pedal. Then, the phantom looked me in the eyes. Uncertain of its direction of travel. I stopped...

    CYBERTRUCK hate by state [ADMIN WARNING: NO POLITICS]

    Edit your card to spell "Brakes" correctly. Other than that, great idea. LOL. haven't gotten much negativity here. Just two or three middle fingers in a year and a half. When we lived in Papillion, NE, our Model Y was one of three in the area for a bit. Never got anything negative with it...

    CYBERTRUCK hate by state [ADMIN WARNING: NO POLITICS]

    I was wondering what it's like in Nebraska for the CT. May be coming back that way soon to stay.

    💥I Broke My Cybertruck Fairing… So I Upgraded It! BestEvMod Fairings Delete Kit Install

    Had the parts shipped. The fairing and 2 of the bolts because I couldn't be sure they were still there somewhere. Anyway, for a company that prides itself on efficiency, I have some questions... Two boxes arrived. One with the fairing in it and packaged appropriately. This was the other...

    Whining Noise

    Ken, found this. Thought it might help: https://www.tesla.com/ownersmanual/cybertruck/en_us/GUID-AA58ED67-9C93-4EE6-8B19-9FDABE018787.html It's got a bunch of sounds recorded that are considered normal.

    SLATE Truck Debuts as Modular Pickup & SUV

    Where is the Elio when we needed it? 68 mpg and only $7,000... sigh. Would have made for a great commuter vehicle. Only seats 2. But, it was surprisingly roomy. (at $3.00/gallon, it's only $.04 per mile to drive - cheaper than my CT)

    Whining Noise

    You can report that in the app and request a service appointment. Sometimes, they are Johnny on the spot with simple repairs like that. It could be that they'll recognize the sound. Would probably help if you could safely record the sound.

    Whining Noise

    Tesla made the motors a little louder for the Cybertruck to give it more of a "Truck sound". A little whine is okay but if you get a lot, I recommend crackers and cheese. :)

    Song -- Breathing Elon's Musk

    Okay. I clicked. Figured I wouldn't like it. I was wrong. Catchy for some reason. Neatly done in a consistent style. I'll have to listen to it somewhere I can pump the base a bit. Maybe Fluffy will play it for me later. LOL. Don't know if Fluffy will like playing a song about...

    How does a mouse get it the CT?

    No. We park it in the garage and haven't seen rodents here. We live in a fairly rural part of Maryland on a couple of acres. We have seen raccoons, foxes, squirrels, a pair of skunks, deer, rabbits, and somebody's pet cat. But, no mice.

    FSD v14.2.2.4 (Update 2025.45.9) happening now

    I was following a white van yesterday morning and noticed my headlight line wobbling up and down. Probably just 2-4 inches on the van and always below their mirrors. Maybe lower than their lights. This is from maybe 50 feet away in traffic and closer though it was less obvious then. Dumb...

    Need to order this part

    Well crap. Just like when the sports caster says "He has been perfect at this distance this season. Never missed an extra point."... dammit. Pulling into my driveway, Fluffy cut it a little tight and the back right and "Rocker Fairing - Right Side" became a search in that parts catalog. $15...

    How does a mouse get it the CT?

    I know simple steel wool keeps them from climbing into the house next to pipes but not sure if it would hold up in the CT around seals.

    Cybertruck May Transition to Fully Autonomous Cargo Truck in Future, Says Musk

    I read that as the Cybertruck assembly line will be transitioning to an autonomous delivery platform line.

    Totally Bricked CT at supercharger

    I was thinking I'd just drill a hole in the rubber cover that hides the wires. The switch would be hard to get to and it would have to be pressed up.
