Was driving in heavy fog last night and the front light bar made it quite difficult to see. I happen to have blue tape with me and did indeed cover the bar with it. Did solve the problem but boy did it look stupid. Hoping Tesla recognizes that there are situations whereby that light bar should...

I have a CBF and don’t see that foam. Seems SC is making it a bit easy on themselves?

Wow, SD is normally pretty laid back - where about keyed?

I got dirt...

Additionally, be aware that you can create charging schedules for every day of the week so that your truck is charged at the most ($$) opportune time.

ahwww, eating humble pie right now... :-|. I see you clean off the corrosion/rust with a bit of BKF and steel wool, looks like a soft scrub? Steel wool often leaves particles behind semi embedded in what your worked on. That becomes a source for the next rust spot. You may want to use 3M...

This is not a cybertruck door. troll

Can never have enough horn…. or was it cow bell, i forgot.

Yes. While stopped at downtown traffic light (san diego), random person bangs loudly on passenger window and kicks the door yelling “he has to pay, he has to pay” and some other ramblings i could understand. For a moment i thought i had driven over someone, it wasnt a homeless. Very weird. i...

I'd rather put a magnet on than a sticker. But if you must, prior to sticking, clean with IPA to remove all (road) fat/grease and dirt - you don't want to trap that. IPA evaporates fast so no chance that this get trapped.

It is possible that some electrochemical reaction takes place between magnet and steel - with (salty) water this reaction would be a bit faster. This reaction is not likely though, most advertisement magnets don’t have this kind of corrosive materials. More likely is that moisture and road dirt...

Yeah, I am having this issue also. In addition to the screen going blank, the Wh/mi indicator and consumption trend stops updating. I understand connectivity isn't the same everywhere and dead zones may occur. However, the vehicle should pickup the signal and restore connectivity by itself...

:-) Yes I do. I guess my "direct copper" remark isn't understood to apply just in the context of wireless power transfer. _if_ one is talking about having some inductive coupled connection _in the home_ to the car, it is never going to be as lossless as "direct copper" i.e., the cable we use...

No I did not. At some point was considering to put it towards a power wall but not PowerShare. But now I am just using it towards whatever i “need” from the Tesla shop :-)

Hmm, i find the permanent mounting, the looks and likely affect on range (speculating a bit) disappointing. I surely can use ditch lights from time to time but would not like to have this mounted all the time. I am going to ask the SC to give me all the parts but not install it. - prolly will...

Can you record it and let us listen to the noise? Is the noise much different when you drive into the wind vs go with it? Any mods youve done to thr truck? Frunk seal ok? (Just trying to help you analyse) My truck is very quiet, even at higher speeds. I have heard the wiper rattle at one...

For home charging you'd want all your charge be as effective as possible (at least thats what I want). A direct copper connection is always more efficient than anything else (well you can go pure silver and do a bit better but that ... never mind). If however, one needs on the go charging...

Hmm, I don't remember seeing this selection/option. I just had credits showing up in the account and these can be spent at anytime in any amount - no need to spent it all at once. Also, credits given by Tesla (or similar promotional credits) are not considered taxable income as they are...

My model 3 has been rock solid for 5 years and has not seen a recall i had to go to the SC for. I don’t count OTA software updates sometimes lablled as recalls as a true recall. Stats for the CT, however, are likely not so great but its early days for such a new vehicle. The media loves...

However perfect inductive/resonance charging may get, air transfer losses will always be greater than difect copper. Wireless charging may be needed for the robo taxi but makes much less sense for home use imho. Plugging in is easy and takes only seconds. Yes wireless is more convenient but i...
