$15k value over 5 years sounds about right for a road warrior before adding in towing (1.5mi/kWh). I’ve logged $2,337 in superchargers over the last 10 months, so on track for $14k/5 years.
Planning on keeping the truck for 10 years so I’d trade in/sell at a $30k loss in an instant to get a...
Do you ever get vehicle left unlocked or door left open notifications (has to be enabled in the Locks page in the vehicle and on the app) after walking away? Might be an issue with a sensor keeping the truck unlocked or the truck not sensing your phone signal as you’re walking away (so it won’t...
It is quick and easy as everyone says, less than 5 minutes. I ended up getting dedicated torx driver with handle to use (instead of using the mini angled tool that came with the tent). Makes lining up the holes on install so much easier (and speeds up removal).
Selecting ’Jack Mode’ after entering CyberTent mode then exiting CyberTent mode still freezes the suspension in a level setting and allows tonneau control.
Ha, nope, just have more height in the legs than torso. Though it would be nice to straighten the legs from time to time on long trips (or when waiting for a charge). With the seat all the way back, my legs are an bit over 45deg. At a comfortable distance from the steering wheel (arms resting on...
The CT uses an eSIM. Other teslas have procedures to activate third party sims in toolbox, but that isn’t documented yet for the CT (or maybe not enabled for non Tesla use). Why not just use a mobile hotspot and leave the truck WiFi on? That’s less expensive and way easier than even a 1-day...
I gotta hope they at last have some sort of AI based transcription of all the voice reports with videos indexed and catalogued. That way some day they can say “Optimus, find me all the videos with people screaming POTHOLE! and tell our minions to start avoiding things that look like that.” And...
I have the same issue (6’ 5” here). Honestly, it’s no better or worse legroom than any other vehicle I’ve driven. Even with the seat all the way back, it’s a still little cramped and the shallow depth of the seat means more fatigue on long drives (again just as almost any other vehicle).
With...
Just got back from travel, not the best photo but this might help showing the cybertent with just the front half of the Mars rack. Got a camping trip planned next weekend, so can take better photos if needed.
There was an early service bulletin that fixed an assembly issue that didn’t let the console fully attach. Would have thought they were all fixed by now but maybe that’s it so I’d mention that to the SC...
I’ve seen that too a bit more on the last few FSD versions, like it detects a speck of dirt it’s trying to clean. It seems to stop for me if the windshield is cleaned really well (i.e. no smears). I’ve also seen it occasionally with high amounts of glare from a low sun angle. If it never goes...
You can also select remove all charging stops, then add chargers back in as intermediate stops. That way it doesn’t precondition the battery too early and you can pick better options like 250kW chargers.
It’s definitely limited and protected (hence the need for touchscreen trailer mode resets from time). I assume just electronic fuses. 20A to 30A for the aux pin, depending on mode:
I use 115kWh for rated capacity planning - 319mi*361wh/mi. So, keep it under 800 wh/mi and you’ll be fine on a calm warm day.
Towing a 2-horse steel trailer (about 7k loaded) I average ~740wh/mi at 55mph and ~680wh/mi at slower speeds (30-40mph). Definitely doable, but you’ll need to be...
I have one from ANYSIX, the only option two months ago. Seeing a lot of other ones being advertised for less now, didn’t realize there were so many ithers. Not sure which one the OP has.
