    Cybertruck Tire Alternatives

    Maybe something like this is more versatile as long as it can handle the abuse, torque, and high speeds

    QUESTION FOR THE BRAINIACS...

    Currently Tesla does not support a mode where you can tow one of their vehicles on it's own 4 wheels. There's a "Tow Mode" that can be activated temporarily to disable the parking brake and put the vehicle in the equivalent of neutral in order to winch it onto a flatbed. The "Tow Mode" is only...

    CyberTruck production start date = April 2022

    I've actually been planning on getting my Cybertruck in early spring of 2022 since the beginning. And I have an early reservation. So it doesn't bother me at all if I ended up with a good estimate for myself. I'm also fine with waiting a bit longer than that. Just gives Tesla time to fine...

    Does anyone else hope the funky hubcaps / wheel covers aren't in the final design?

    Maybe MoonEyes would be willing to make Cybertruck versions of their caps. They are an aluminum disc glued to the OEM aero covers https://www.mooneyesusa.com/product-p/md1800t3.htm

    Tesla SC in Mexico

    I like the signage stating that the spots are exclusively for Tesla vehicles.

    Tesla branded as ‘arrogant’ in China as pressure mounts on the electric car maker

    I don't think anybody died in that specific accident. Do you have a link where I can read more details about the accident? On Reddit someone from China was asking owners if they had ever experience any brake failures and nobody had or had even read about any. But apparently the driver of the...

    Fiery deaths?

    By the way, for anybody that is interested in seeing some videos on extrication or firefighting for Teslas or EVs, there's a YouTube channel that has multiple videos. I have had a few saved on my computer for many years. For every new model that Tesla produces they donate a few cars to be used...

    New Tesla Supercharger in Texas Includes Spaces (Probably) For Cybertruck

    The charging handle locks to the car when the doors are locked. This applies to Superchargers and any other Tesla-specific chargers. The standard public chargers that use J1772 handles do not lock to the Tesla. The adapter that comes with every Tesla to use the J1772 handle does lock in, and...

    If Tesla can raise pre existing Tesla roof contract, what to stop them from raising the pre orders of CT?

    Here's some info based on the Model 3. On March 31st, 2016 Tesla unveiled the Model 3. It stated that it would start at $35,000, have at least 215 miles of range, and that first deliveries would be at the end of 2017. Tesla hit all those targets. The only point of contention would be that...

    New Tesla Supercharger in Texas Includes Spaces (Probably) For Cybertruck

    It's possible that the construction company that installed the wheel stops put them in the wrong spot and that's why the cable doesn't reach. It wouldn't be the first time I've seen that happen...

    Fiery deaths?

    Cutting the safety loop would not help with the fire. The safety loops are there to ensure that the HV battery is disconnected from all the car's electronics to avoid electrocution of first responders or passengers. In a Tesla crash where the air bags go off, the car also blows a pyro fuse...

    Self park into/out of garage?

    It makes sense that it would have that feature (called Summon Autopark) if you buy FSD. Here is a short video that shows how it works on Model 3 You have to make sure that you are watching it closely and are ready to tap the stop button on the app or push one of the door handles to make it...

    Type of Motors

    We don't know the details about the motor arrangement in the refreshed S/X or Cybertruck yet. But as far as the arrangements and positions on 3/Y and Raven S/X it makes sense based on the following: S/X are all AWD for the Raven refresh and Tesla could position the motors in a way that made the...

    FSD... Ownership transfer issues (if someone else totals your CT)?

    I would like FSD to be transferable to my next Tesla (especially since it only cost me $5k), but I think overall there are less headaches with it staying with the car. Hear me out. We KNOW that FSD stays with the car for the new owner to enjoy, but there is still a lot of people out there that...

    What SOC to keep tri-motor CT at?

    Since I plan on daily driving my Model 3 and only using the Cybertruck a few times a week, it will be charged to 50% at all times. The few times I do take it out I'm probably going to be giving test drives/rides and will charge it to 90% in order to get better acceleration.

    The cost of driving an EV?

    We don't have enough specs yet for Cybertruck to give you exact data, but this website (Carbon Counter) lets you compare vehicle costs and emissions. You can tap on the points to get info on which car it is, or search for specific vehicles to highlight in the graph. You can also customize the...

    Trailer brake assist

    I'm not sure about Model Y, but Model X that come with towing upgrade have a connector under the driver dash that goes to control the trailer brakes. You connect your own trailer brake controller to that connector. I'm sure Cybertruck will at least have this, where you use your own brake...

    Example Snow Plow

    The self-adjusting works no matter where you mount it. The 9 years we've had it we used it on front hitches for a Ford Expedition, Chevy Blazer, and Chevy S10 pickup. You can find many other YouTube videos about the Snowsport, including some of mine that I uploaded 9 years ago. Unless they're...
