The Tesla Nav software is easy to configure. I have it include the suggested Supercharger stops and it includes the time and mileage to the charger and back onto the highway. So there is no "hidden time", it's included in the Nav calculations. I select Supercharger stops that don't require...

OK, so it looks like we don't really disagree on any of that. I thought this whole discussion came about because of the claim Tesla had a production capacity of 250,000 Cybertrucks (when, in fact, it's closer to half that. I know this was not your claim, it was someone implying that Tesla is...

That conflicting advice is easily explainable, it has to do with whether you value more climbing performance at the expense of reliability (cuts, punctures, pinched sidewalls, de-beadings). If you need the climbing performance, you need it. If you don't, you really don't. That's why I always say...

They sell the jacks in a wide range of capacities to suit the application better. An 8-ton jack will require more pumping strokes for every inch of lift vs. a 2-ton jack.

Exactly. You are expected to have/use suitable cribbing as needed. The reason to put the vehicle in maximum height mode is so your jack doesn't run out of available lift. As you jack the chassis up, the suspension will let the wheel(s) droop. The higher you set the air suspension, the less the...

Ouch! I've seen a big spike in sidewall cuts in the last couple of decades, ever since many people started routinely airing down well below what is required (or advisable) for the technical difficulty of the trail and the loaded vehicle weight. The more weight you pack (including spare...

You are not following what I actually said. Cybertruck production capacity being pretty close to 125,000 (within 25,000 or so) does not imply the other numbers with a ">" are pretty close to the value stated. Remember, the ">" sign does not have a percentage attached to it, it means exactly what...

Why? Once it happens you will have missed out. For the best returns, you have to act (buy in) when other investors think it's a fantasy.

Is your question really who to believe, a "popular" online site or Tesla? 🤪 I mean Tesla obviously has the most data, and the most accurate data and they have no real incentive to lie. Even Tesla doesn't know for a fact which ones will fail and which ones won't, they can only put you in a...

It's possible, but most of the reasons you used to get there don't apply to Cybertruck production. The most straightforward analysis of the public information we have is that actual Cybertruck production capacity, without line upgrades, is pretty close to 125,000, especially when talking about...

It's not considered a permanent repair, but it's not a problem at all. It will get you out. Not a patch, a worm plug.

I turned mine off. If you want it on, look in the Autopilot menu.

Yes, definitely in that range. I weighed mine when new and I can't recall the exact weights but they were somewhere around 96 lbs. each, as I recall.

I have been a fan of keeping a mobile charger in all my Tesla's for over 8 years now. But I'm re-thinking that need. Because I can't remember the last time I actually used one on a road trip. I think it's been over 6 years. As the Supercharger Network expands, the need to get creative with...

Incorrect. the doubling of production is due to the production efficiencies unleashed by the next generation vehicles that are specifically designed to be built more quickly. Applying that to an existing vehicle (like the Cybertruck) is just unrealistic and ridiculous. Let's try to stay...

I already addressed the ">" sign as a small unknown. There is no exact capacity of any given line and it depends upon the throughput speeds, something the next generation vehicles are designed to increase. Faster throughput of next-generation models on the "same lines" used for existing vehicles...

Flats are very rare for me too, so I don't have extensive experience with different brands. I just go with those that have a good reputation from old-school tire shops, like Safety Seal. Traditional interior patches are not easy to use and are mostly unsuitable for on-trail or roadside repairs...

Dynaplugs are better than nothing, but not nearly as versatile as a low tech gummy worm type plug kit (I like the Safety Seal brand worms).

It's a multi-part plan (in order): 1) While driving, know where my tires are, look where I'm going. Drive deliberately, use appropriate tires and adjust air pressures for conditions. Too low of a tire pressure increases the chances of many types of punctures. 2) High-volume air compressor...

Typically you would be lifting up one side of the vehicle, and yes, in normal circumstances even a 3-ton would work. But more margin of safety is always good. The vehicle may have heavy accessories and might not be level. I'm going to pass on this, if I wanted to pack a spare tire and a...
