I've never owned a pickup truck before Cybertruck and only drove one for a couple days as a rental car. Coming from a Model S it was pretty easy to adjust to sitting higher up and it handles pretty nimbly but it is long, even though it doesn't feel that long since you sit so far forward...
I did the same with generator inlet and manual interlock a year ago, works like a champ when needed. I can run one of my two AC's without issue, can't get the second to kick on but in the event of an emergency outage I'm okay with just the one. Both are pretty old so will wait until one kicks...
I've got a few assorted issues I've been collecting for the last six months including the cant rail recall and also recently noticed my rear seat belt retractor on the passenger side isn't retracting with the same forcefulness, somehow the belt seems to be twisted down deep (at least that's my...
Not a direct answer, but I noticed my 2023 Model Y, purchased used from Tesla and therefore not included in the extended warranty program (as it already came with an extra year) when it launched, now has the option to buy the extended warranty for $60/mo for three years - $2,160 in total. No...
mine was also a one-time use voucher, clearly stated in the email. some people’s got converted to shop credit, mine never was. burned it all on 6/30, my last day to use. anyone need a cybertruck spare wheel/tire/jack kit?

Hot, sweaty, t-shirts.
Was at the local Tesla store yesterday and tried the cooled seats on the Highland 3 and Juniper Y in the showroom and they are both similar to the seats I had in my old Model S Plaid - similar in the sense that cooled seats work well in...
Why not just lease and take the pass through? sure, you lose about $1k in lease initiation and termination fees but far cleaner from a tax perspective if you don’t actually have a business.
just a question, not tax advice
I wonder if it's possible to break 400 miles on all seasons on a single charge, my evidence suggests it should be very, very close under the right conditions.
To the OP, on a fixed budget and unless you need every last square inch of load space, I'd suggest a used Model Y. You can get 4 mi/kwh as opposed to 2.5-3.0 mi/kwh with Cybertruck, interior is still very comfortable and it goes and goes. At some point, maybe look at a used Cybertruck in 3-4...
You're spot on regarding throttle control and tire pressures, I always check and adjust cold pressures before any long trip and check every few days in the display out of habit. I think my cold pressures this time were 51-52 PSI across all four tires, some of that variation could have been...
Looks like a slight tailwind, at a angle, for half the trip and a similar headwind, at an angle, for the other half of the trip. Was on the road from around 10:45a - 2:15p
Gemini calls it ~150 of elevation difference. So yes, nominally downhill I suppose over 180+ miles.
"Therefore, the elevation change between Silver Spring, MD and Princeton, NJ is approximately between 141 and 151 feet, meaning Princeton is lower in elevation than Silver Spring. "
Definitely not 700 miles, but looks like 370 is quite possible and 7 hours of driving. Travel was 60-70mph with one slowdown to stop and go for ten minutes due to traffic which dropped my average to 55mph but that wasn't the speed I travelled at.
Drove for 3.5 hours today, covered 185.8 miles from Silver Spring, MD to Princeton, NJ. Highway speeds with one 10 minute slowdown. AC blowing cold on a hot day.
Was stunned to find that I used only 48.2% of the battery. Doing the quick math, that means in the dead of summer it's possible to...
