    Generation 1 HPWC not working with Cybertruck

    I'm super pumped that I effectively doubled my charge rate by flipping a few dip switches. Settings matter! ;)

    Generation 1 HPWC not working with Cybertruck

    So, I finally got around to figuring out the optimal setting on the G1 HPWC for the truck: the 80A setting is getting me 48A of charging.

    Cybertruck sideswiped on highway. ROAD RAGE?

    Since the vehicle is so new and (if) the accident was not your fault, you definitely need to go after the other party for diminished value. You will probably need to use a 3rd party (most insurance companies either won't or don't do a good job with diminished value claims). Be sure to find a...

    FSD 12.5 starts rolling out in limited release (even to non-employees)!

    I don't know about y'all, but there definitely needs to be some improvements with identifying signs/signals with the CT before FSD is rolled out. I am constantly overriding the TACC because it sees street lights as stoplights and wants to automatically slow down every time. It's annoying as...

    TESLA CYBERTRUCK MARS™ EXPEDITION CROSSBARS SHIPPING IN JUNE 2024

    Just received mine yesterday. I bought all 4 (just in case). The bars are very durable but light considering their size. The installation does take a few minutes, so this is NOT a quick install/remove procedure. MARS provides a QR code that takes you to the instructions, which were very...

    Things I didn’t know. . .

    Plugging the glovebox USB drive in for sentry mode also requires some dexterity.

    How’s Your CT Holding Up in This Heat?

    Even when the cabin gets REALLY hot, the Cybertruck cools down quickly when you turn on the A/C (probably one of the most underrated features of Teslas: being able to kick the climate control on remotely). This is the worst I've seen it (yet). Thankfully, the CT will fit in my garage, so...

    Things I didn’t know. . .

    I would recommend that if you plan to use that USB port, you plug in a cable and leave it plugged in: It is really tough to find that port by feel when you need to plug something in while you are driving.

    CT owners, tell us about the steering wheel

    I love it, but don't try to steer with your knees, it is a few orders of magnitude harder to do than with a round wheel. Of course, once FSD is fully enabled, you won't have to try to steer with your knees ;)

    Using the 2500 voucher...

    I agree. They really need to allow us to backorder stuff since we have already, in effect, given them the $2,500.

    Generation 1 HPWC not working with Cybertruck

    It is a bit scary to realize how much you depend on a single piece of equipment to work so that you can avoid range anxiety. I've noticed that the mobile charger only wants to charge at 2 mi/hr of range....yeah, not good!

    Generation 1 HPWC not working with Cybertruck

    Hmmm.....I'll give that a shot. If it doesn't have any impact, no harm no foul.

    Near miss - ran over deer

    This is about as close a call as you can get. On Wednesday, I was driving just before dark along a stretch of road that I routinely see deer along. I spotted the deer and it initially looked like it was turning away from the road and then abruptly changed its mind. The result: the deer ran...

    Generation 1 HPWC not working with Cybertruck

    One last note about my issue: Before/after the DIP switch change, our Model Y consistently charged at 48A. I am pretty sure the Model Y is not using the 4680 batteries (although it was made in Austin). I wonder if the 4680s are the reason why the CT won't charge at the highest rate?

    2024.20.7 software update now installing, DC Fast Charging improvements

    It's more about the data that they are gathering on the 4680 cells. The 4680 cells are relatively new/unproven in the field and Tesla is usually really cautious, at first, about how much/how fast they allow the cells to charge. One major advantage of the 4680: the tabless design of the cell...
