Ha funny, I mainly listen to Apple Music which frequently shows the "no connection" message. I then go to FM radio which generally lands me on some Spanish station I cannot change. So then bluetooth and stream from phone is the only thing available. Direct audio streaming seems buggy to me. At...

Yes, control of the DLR is necessary IMHO. When driving in (fairly dense) fog, rain, snow, the DLR makes the weather a big white blob right in front of the truck making it hard to see whats ahead. I carry electrical tape to tape it off when I need to - a software switch would be so easy.

Dang spammy site/article - following the latest traditions of alarmist writings lest nobody clicks it. No references but it did reveal an important little nugget: "Other health factors such as alcohol consumption and obesity-related liver fat accumulation did not seem to contribute to...

Dunno what you have in terms of home automation … i used Apple’s homekit for a while but it is very limited and the Siri front end terrible. Since quite a few years i use Home Assistant (HA); an OS running on a raspberry pi (can also just be a mac or pc) which is way more powerful. It controls...

Look at your wnergy/park tab, should show you who is using what…

Idle fees apply when the station is at 50pct or more capacity, see here: https://www.tesla.com/support/charging/supercharger/fees. Note that idle charges are not applied to all stations either. During a recent road trip with frequent supercharger stops, i never paid any idle fees when going...

I have seen values between 1..3pct. In my experience even on long trips i can’t tell the difference in range. I do feel they cut down a bit of road noise.

You are using the river 2 pro solar input to charge it on 48V I take it? The spec is a little unclear, says 13A 11-50V, 220W so I guess it uses only a max of 220W i.e. at 48V that is 4.5A. The 48V feed is good for 400W and the Starlink is just 60W so you're not overloading anything by...

Tesla may or may not release the software update you are waiting for. Remember they just sent the battery extender into oblivion - Tesla giveth and Tesla taketh away. 7500 bucks discount if you can get it is real and you have it now. If you're set on getting the CT, seems easy decision.

There are “hidden” gems everywhere on the 101 ! Just south of Florence we were looking for “a dune” my wife had read about, it seemed we passed it already. While parked along the road figuring stuff out, some 20yo kid slowly steps around the car - didn’t see us in it. Should we be ready for a...

I have used hurry and standard but experienced quite a few near misses with the truck cutting off other cars coming up from behind me as well as way to erratic weaving on the 405 - which is_not_ the highway to try out on. That was a previous version so perhaps i should give standard another try...

How you compute your 100pct range? Using value at 80pct, tap for miles etc? Thats not very accurate. Better is to reset your trip computer, do 500miles or so then use: (total miles driven/energy used) * batt capacity (which is 123kwh) to give you a practical 100pct full range _with your driving...

I did a 10 day road trip going San Diego to Seattle hugging the coast on the way up and mostly highway on the way back. Sightseeing on the 101 and picked up my son who was interning in Redmond and brought back all his stuff. the cybertruck was marvelous. Such and easy vehicle to drive. I...

Nah don’t be too sensitive. In the first 50 or so comments (didn’t bother to read more) I see no mention of cybertruck nor driver, just compassion for person ran over.

I _speculate_ it wont. It seemed to have been a bit of an after thought, and became available only in drips and dribbles for the beast. It looks nice and that seems to be the only redeeming quality; light output is very minimal and you’ll need to dig through the menus to turn it on (though Tesla...

Interested to try this!

The truck says "I am Grok, the latest and Greatest from xIA, I have no specific version" ...

"supposedly" your chat sessions would be preserved (?) if you link your external Grok account i.e. use your account already in use on phone/pc/Mac. Buttt, I am quick to point out I have little success with it - can't say it doesn't work but I can't say it works either. It may just be buggy.

Do you have a paid for account? If not, linking/using that Grok account in your truck will mean its usage is throttled by the free limit, no? Are your custom Grok settings (how to respond etc.) carried over to Grok in the truck? For me this doesn't seem to work. The Grok chattiness and...

Yah, mostly how I feel also. Though, today on a somewhat longish drive with nothing else to listen to I had a good, informative "interactive news" session. I just asked for today's news and then dug into specific items that interested me. In some cases asked for background info or explanations...
