I would suggest asking about whether to use a WDH with a Cybertruck over on the Airstream-specific message board. I’d love to see the outcry at the question….. ? I say that only because the only recent EV thread over there was recently shut down. Lots of haters, Often for no reason.
That...
My understanding is it’s still recommended/needed. Self leveling will help literally level the truck, but it doesn’t do anything to help distribute weight (or help with sway). With a truck like CT (compared to our Navigator (F150 base)), distributing weight might not be quite as critical...
Well stated. Current TV for our 25’ airstream is a Navigator, which is serviceable, but always running too close (or slightly over) payload. CT will solve that problem. We use an Equalizer hitch. May upgrade at some point, but for now it’s been fine.
This is why I’m eager to get my hands on my truck. Pulling an Airstream *should* be a good bit more aerodynamic—covered LP, dual AC. Some reports show 20% more aerodynamic.
I do wonder if removal of mirrors and presence of aero covers will have any meaningful impact because of how large the...
Oh for sure regarding Tesla. I have an M3 and have configured my FS. Just trying to prep. For me, the inconvenience of slower speeds is worth the hassle because it’s only a couple times a year. Just trying to figure out how much of an inconvenience it’s going to be and how slow I’ll have to take...
Some of the earlier tests at 60, 65 and 70 showed similar range. Trying to figure out what’s causing the inconsistencies.
50 mile supercharging isn’t the case in a lot of places. Driving Dallas to Colorado has many stretches much more than that. Almost triple that.
I don’t have mine yet, so I can’t confidently say this, but other tests have shown 65-70 and getting 100. This underscores my point on creating a better data table. Nobody expects it to be good. But one should be able to reasonably navigate a set of conditions without just hoping.
Sorry, that misses the point. Towing at 30 is different than 80. As someone who wants to be able to use the truck to tow a couple times a year for more than a couple hundred miles, I’d like to see a graph or table of how much range comes back the slower you tow. Realistically, not going to go...
Candidly, was a bit disappointed in that being a towing test. Don’t get me wrong, any bit helps. But, I’d like to see more mileage and breakdown of speeds. E.g., 100 miles at 55; 100 miles at 60; 100 miles at 65. The lower distances seem too impacted by the start stop, getting onto ramp...
Already filmed or about to film? If you haven’t done it yet, I’d be really interested in lengthy tows at 55, 60, 65, 70. I’d love to see the impact is speed reduces. Already seen some 70, which isn’t great. But efficiency should dramatically increase as speed drops, non-linearly.
I understand why people are using BKF to remove the patina and get back to the shiny look, but from a day-to-day perspective, week-to-week, why not just use drive through carwash and windex (to remove fingerprints)?
What I mean is that I already have a main and a 60a sub panel And the 60A is a smaller physical size. It does have 2 spare spots. My sub is fed by a 60a switch from my main. No idea if the sub is physically capable of handling more than 60A.
Don’t discount the RV park issue though. As someone who has been at a number of them, there are wildly varying draws on those pedestals.
Are you towing anything? I’m still trying to get more tow data on the truck.
