    Recommend me a car escape tool. What are the options?

    Could probably rig up a Velcro-released saw cover pretty easily. Hammer a hole > remove Velcro-saw cover > cut glass > escape > order replacement CB . . . done!

    Recommend me a car escape tool. What are the options?

    Ajax definitely looks like a finger-eater. In an emergency situation I don't also want to be digging for a glove, so I'm either going to pass on it or say "life over limb" and take a chance that you'd be my ER doc to stitch up my digits post-escape. LOL. I'm intrigued by the BRB, too.

    Recommend me a car escape tool. What are the options?

    Looks cool and the demo video suggests it can break the glass, but then what? The video cut (no pun intended) from the glass breakage to the seat belt cutting . . . completely skipping the glass cutting that seems necessary to get from break to escape. Am I missing something?

    AWD VS BEAST

    The AWD can do everything you've described EXCEPT the "no funny noises challenge." My friends and colleagues lose that challenge every time!

    AWD VS BEAST

    AWD is undoubtedly great and has all the amazing engineering that we have in our Beasts. However, if you've got a need for speed (specifically acceleration) and don't mind the extra spend, it's 100% worth it. I sometimes still get tunnel vision and mild nausea on some full charge accelerations...

    I’ve never felt this way…

    Moved from '17 Raptor (loved the look, hated the drive) to '21 TRX (loved everything except single digit mpg) to Cyberbeast, and each change was a material upgrade, including in terms of speed, quality and joy to drive. I still miss the throaty roar of my TRX, but don't miss ducking...

    Recommend me a car escape tool. What are the options?

    The videos appended to the tool's webpage are for other tools, but I found a demo here: . Looks quite capable, with a heavy emphasis on laminated glass rescues. Thanks for the share.

    Recommend me a car escape tool. What are the options?

    They're sold out too, so I've signed up for notification from them as well. Not doubting your conclusion, but what is your certainty based upon? I have no basis to assess, so asking for educational purposes. It certainly looks wicked enough to do the trick.

    Recommend me a car escape tool. What are the options?

    Looks like they're sold out, but Jay (seems like owner based on my conversation with him) said they're expecting a restock in the next week or two. Very nice, helpful guy. Sounds like he's spoken to a few CT owners already . . . likely based on this post. If you're able to get him access to...

    Road Damage to Rocker Fairing

    They tend to be responsive via the message function in Tesla app. I had another pair sheered off last month. Sh#t design proven up once again. Waiting for next recall or other appointment to address. Approximately $60 parts and labor for each pair I’ve had to replace.

    TOTAL RECALL “The Dilemma for Owners with Wrapped Cybertrucks”

    I think @SCTesla answered the question better than I can. Perhaps we just have different levels of customer service at our respective SCs. GL!

    FSD - Doesn’t go the speed set to

    In my case it's more of a "sometimes" than a "usually," but otherwise I agree. I already feel like I'm going too slow at 85, so an unjustified further dilution just makes it more enjoyable to take over and "jet" myself where I'm going.

    FSD - Doesn’t go the speed set to

    I have the same experience and frustration with FSD seemingly unjustifiably ignoring my speed wishes, unfortunately capped at 85 mph. I'm always in "Hurry" mode (until it resets itself from time to time) and there are no weather, road, traffic or visibility-related reasons that it shouldn't...

    Sunshade? This is the way.

    I had all windows, including the roof and front, tinted and while it's definitely still warm when we get in after being parked in full TX sun, it's nowhere close to what it would be absent the tinting. Front tint took awhile to get used to since it creates a bit of a star effect and some tail...

    Selling/Convincing the Wife on Acq of the Cybertruck

    I always discuss desired purchases involving 4 zeroes or more, so this $120K purchase was no different. Although not value-added in your scenario, her response when my # was called early last year was “you work hard for your money and deserve it, so go for it.” Same response for Raptor and TRX...

    Panel Gap at Hood + Wind Noise — Anyone Else Experiencing This?

    That's not what Tesla says, what most owners' experience shows, or what ChatGPT reports (see below, FYI only), but I'm happy for you! (y) Mine is relatively quiet, but, as noted in my OP, gets louder with speed and, more impactfully, under certain wind conditions. ++++++++++++++++++++ QUERY...

    Panel Gap at Hood + Wind Noise — Anyone Else Experiencing This?

    I've already been through the cant rail replacement/re-wrapping exercise once because my driver's side rail was bent just enough that the driver's side front window wasn't sealing fully and was causing excess freeway-speed wind noise. Tesla replace and was going to rewrap it for free, but my...

    Cybertruck handled a 200 mile round trip almost perfectly but....

    Did you guys accidentally choose UK instead of the US in the self-driving mode selection window? ;) Kidding aside, glad everyone was paying attention and self-corrected safely.

    Writer seeking input from Cybertruck owners

    I think the oft reflexive, blanket demonization of journalists and journalism is no less devoid of critical thinking than some people's reflexive demonization of all things Tesla and, specifically, Cybertruck. Focused, fact-based skepticism and/or criticism, however, is, in my view, justified...
