  1. The Cybertruck Cost in Perspective

    For those of us who have been driving 4x4s since the 1970's, I stopped pricing them a long time ago, all major OEM 4x4s (F150, Tundra, 1500, etc) are all the same price, in the $70k-$100k range, which makes "brands" the most important thing in a truck person's mind. So my beast is no more...
  2. Best "All Around" Tires for CT

    My Beast is my seventh 4x4 truck (starting off with a 79' Toyota SR5), truck four had over 300k on it, truck 6 had 220k, so I've been around. I like BFGoodrich TAs (I had one pair go close to 100k on one truck). Worst tires were Coopers (see attached picture), Nito's didn't last 30k miles, and...
  3. Need reassurance words. Losing trust…

    Relax, I own a Foundation Beast with 18k miles, and I bet the clunk under acceleration is the fact that the front wheels are doing most of the acceleration, and if you think about it that means as you hit a bump, the torque of the wheel is enhancing the motion upwards on the suspension, making...
  4. Tire rotation...needed??

    18k miles on my beast, and the interesting thing is tires are showing wear on the inside of the contact patch, vs outside, like on my Tundra's. And I rotate every 5k, so I can keep an eye on things, like suspension, rust, roofing nails in the tread (which I just had to plug), and whatever else...

  7. Cybertruck Light Bar Flew Off on the Freeway – Need Advice

    I'm on my 2nd one, first one flow off just like yours and ripped the wire completly off, which you can probable do by just cutting the wires and make sure they are NOT shorted. Service told me they use windshield adhesive now and my 2nd one is still on and pasted the 100 mph test, so we'll...
  8. The Cybertruck Cost in Perspective

    I have a 2024 Beast and am never going back to ICE trucks, Tesla now has a luxe package for the beast that includes FREE SUPER CHARGING for the life of the truck, can you image GM, Ford, RAM offering free GAS for the life of the truck, my 2014 Tundra use to burn $1,000 a month on gas, you have...
  9. Replacing my factory tires

    As reference from Grok.......... The new Goodyear Wrangler Territory RT tires (size LT285/65R20) equipped on the Tesla Cybertruck have an initial tread depth of 9/32 inch (approximately 7.1 mm). This is shallower than the standard version of the same tire model on other vehicles (typically...

  12. Battery Range and FSD question

    I have 16k miles on my beast, and keep track of every electron that goes into my battery. For driving efficiency I monitor wh/mile and in retiree mode I get around 400 watt hours/mile, in "Jersey Cheese cutter" mode it goes up over 600 watt hours/mile. Range wise, I monitor charge mileage vs %...
  13. Light Bar Fell Off, fixes?

    I have a beast so my lightbar came with it, first one was installed May2024, fell off during a highway drive a month later, light was beat up but does not work at all, 2nd light bar within warranty installed last week (20250908), with newer adhesive (windshield adhesive), and pasted the 100 mph...
  14. Stiff front suspension under acceleration

    The "Out of Spec Review" you tube guys (Kyle Conner) thinks, this roughness is only on the Beast, because he says, most drive energy is on the front wheels which tends to cause the suspension to force roughness during acceleration. My Beast does the same thing...... One of these days, I'll put...
