most state codes do not allow that.

Most building codes to not allow for Aluminum inside the house. For the reasons you state (properly sized and terminated is a problem with aluminum that copper is not as prone to error).

It does look aluminum. Are there ANY states that allow for house wiring to be aluminum? The utility company runs aluminum to your meter - and 'sometimes' the meter to the box is aluminum but you have to be very sure you torque aluminum and use proper contact spray and/or fray the aluminum at...

That was not installed to code. You don't twist wires that size. They need to be landed on clamps and torqued. This does NOT look like electrician work, it looks like a DYI install. I have plugs for mine - which generally is not a good idea (more failure points). But a good electrician will get...

"You're going to laugh when I say this, but ... you are looking at the next styling choice for every popular vehicle going forward for decades". 100%. You can not escape the no maintenance exterior AND the stamped frame. these efficiencies in manufacturing will eventually drive costs so low...

<<Do you know the chemistry of the MV battery? Since it is constantly kept at 100% SoC, it's probably LiFePO right? Nickel-based cells would not enjoy that.>> Lithium Ion - and yes, they last longer. I was not actually complaining - it should last quite a long time but likely will not last 3-4X...

Wow. I'm impressed with the CT. Six months in and it's better today than when I got it. All the problems described are valid. But we have by wire steering, fast on the fly air suspension, bug free (almost) windshield, an electric truck that absolutely blows alway the competition on efficiency...

i’m in Iowa and Missouri a lot and drive a ton of miles - 30,000 K plus per year. I really don’t see any hate. The only hate I ever really got was when we were traveling to Ohio. And that was just a few skanky fat chicks in a car flipping us off. I think it’s easy to overreact because the...

I'm with ya. I figure the truck is about free if you drive it 700,000 miles (excluding any repairs or battery replacement). I'm going to die driving this thing! We have 5 kids all over the nation - coast to coast - since we are retired we just do the circuit. Free lifetime supercharging BUT I'm...

The V4 charge at 300kW+ but it’s not for very long and you have to really run down to less than 20% to get that kind of charge rate. Waiting to recharge at 5 to 10% gets your biggest savings in time. Nevertheless, it’s really nice when you’re on a road trip and you have access to these...

Foundation series. 12,000 miles and three months. Best vehicle I’ve ever own. It ups the bar for the model Y, which is still a far better car than most anything out there. Some people complain about the efficiency and cost of supercharger network. But I think they’re not looking at how much...

went a couple weeks - heavy bugs southern MO around the lakes - it almost looks like the bugs are tarnishing the stainless after a week or two but when washed - looks brand new!

CT is my 5th Tesla. I think the boundaries are NOT well defined. In tight situations, or even close traffic in construction zones, I take over FSD with the CT when I would NOT have taken over with, say, a Model Y. Same with parking and backing. I don't think the rear lines are representative...

Not much said about the car industry and the economy in general. The last year or so since Cybertruck availability has not been the best market. We are 3 months in having a CT, 10,000 miles. The truck is simply amazing. I get in our Y now and think it's a toy and the Y is way better car than...

FSD is the most advanced implementation of AGI - by far - with market application. I think it's leading everything - And FSD with a Cybertruck is over the top. I just don't think many normal people appreciate it yet - they have no idea. We all know Grok will be integrated with Tesla cars at...

I think the range is very good. I know Elon's pitch was more, but the range is better than a Y in real world. Quite the achievement for a pickup - man, I'm lovin' the extra cargo space over a SUV. We are all electric now (Y and Cybertruck). No gas cars. I think we are overthinking this. The...

I picked Foundation up end of 2024. Already at 9,000 miles as of March 25, 2025. Truck is amazing in all conditions. Driving on ice across WY, mountains in Reno/Tahoe, and heavy rain going down to FL and clear blue skies while in FL, back up to Chattanooga and on to Columbus, OH and back to IA...

Midwest - 98% positive. i’ve had three families come up and want to take pictures with their kids by the truck. Many great comments from people that understand the truck - about how it’s the future. I had one person flipped me off in Ohio, and I had some dude in a pick up truck screaming at...

100%. A strong push works - you can hear the 'click' - I push with my rubber shoes. I worry about non-Tesla shops putting these covers back on! But my nearest Tesla ship is 120 miles. Makes it a tough decision.

I have not lost a cover, but don't go through the car wash either. I would avoid automatic track car washes! BUT, if you don't have the CENTER snapped in you probably could lose a cover. The outer clips are easy to get snapped in. But the center can require a second push to make sure it's...
