Looks like he was partially right but not completely. If you read about Betaprime it appears there are two types of Betaprime. One has a shelf life of 3 days once opened and the other has a shelf life of 14 days once opened. Once applied there is a 24 hour period to apply the adhesive or it...

Got my lightbar installed yesterday, and I had an interesting conversation with the senior service guy. He was telling me the main issue these have is with the promoter, or primer, that they use. Once it is opened it expires in 24 hours and no longer works correctly. They have cases of it...

Had my charger replaced today. He showed me the old one and it had the heat sinks built in. My truck was a late foundation series with gray interior. He said they replaced the part as some of them are faulty, but the new part number being showed in this thread is the same charger my truck...

Curious what phone you have. That is the new part number listed early in this thread. I am having mine replaced tomorrow and it is the same new part number you listed. I really hoped this would fix the overheating issue.

That is funny. I could see changing that if it takes over voice commands someday.

Follow-up. I was told last night they would see if they could help. Just checked my appointment and a loaner has been assigned. In another thread somebody recommended asking. It worked for me. Thank you Tesla.

Same here. Cantrail and lightbar. Drop it off at 10AM and pickup the next day at 5PM. I explained I live an hour away to see if they could get me a loaner or to see if I could do a 24 hour test drive on a model X. Now that the wife loves our truck she wants a Tesla. They said they would check. I...

I had not thought about heat against the glass. I wonder if we could do a rubber gasket in between the bracket and the light to minimize heat transfer. The bracket itself would not touch the glass. Instead I was thinking the bracket could try to secure the lightbar into place against the...

I am about ready to engineer and manufacture a solution for this. I own a company that makes beer brewing equipment and we have a ton of sheet metal stainless parts. Black powder coating may blend in more for this one. After I get my lightbar installed I will see what I can figure out. I would...

Thank you. I will give it a shot. I appreciate the help!

I bought mine used and I got the email to schedule my lightbar install. I go in a couple weeks. It definitely follows the truck. Hopefully you don’t have any issues either.

My lightbar is scheduled a couple weeks out with the cantrails, new phone charger, new slat in the bed, and a camera cleaning. This is my first service. They have not issued a loaner vehicle and I live an hour away. Is it normal for them to not provide a loaner?

Thank you. That helps a lot. Now those of us that just got the invite can proceed without worrying about if we should wait. Appreciate you posting this! I have only had my truck for 3 months or so now as I bought the foundation beast used. The 3 month wait has been crazy. I just want the...

My recent road trips were around 550 miles each way too. It really helped. I would mention a couple things. -When you put the address in the nav check the top of the navigation box for options. I didn’t realize I had options at first. Mine defaults to fastest trip. Depending on the trip you can...

New to EVs myself. Love this truck. Have been disappointed in the range. Mostly because I didn’t understand it before I got this truck. After a number of road trips and about 8,000 miles over the last 3 months I have learned a little. Not a lot. I equate my range more to the speed I drive...

Same here. Just got my notice today. Install is a month out. Hoping they got this figured out and are sending a bunch of notices to try and get everyone taken care of. Not likely, but I can hope that it is the new process or version.

If it is a two lane highway then I would put it in hurry mode and then limit the max speed limit to 9 over using the right thumb wheel. In hurry mode it will normally drive right up to the max I set if it is only 9 over. If you use standard and do the same thing then I periodically have to...

I wondered how to get 4 controllers to work. Now I just need to find a storage solution for 4 controllers.

Not sure if this helps but I have made multiple 12 hour drives in the last few weeks and I had similar observations. The lane changing drove me nuts. I found toggling between hurry and standard was an easier way, most of the time, to get the truck to change lanes left or right. Want it to move...

I would buy this over the model X in a heartbeat. Just wish Tesla made a three row SUV that was more rugged. The exoskeleton on this would be awesome. We love our Cybertruck but my wife needs a three row SUV and this would be the answer. We love the Tesla tech too much to get the Rivian. This...
