Here's the label on my 2024 Cyberbeast.
Different glass company, but I don't think either have IRR layer. There's usually an indication of IRR on the label if it's present.
I was worried about this issue when I saw the range of adjustable suspension height. I had a 2016 Model X P90D that had the half shaft replaced a few times. From what I understand, the issue in the Model X was that the drive unit design was iterated from the Model S, but the increase in...
I went last winter without washing my truck just to see how the exterior would behave with our salty roads in Michigan. I received my truck the in June '24 and didn't perform any acidic treatments so the stainless steel should have had a good passive oxidization coat by winter.
In general...
Interesting product. I wonder if the OEM software allows for something similar to this with the air shocks since these statements are in the off-road guide:
I think this has been discussed before and it has to do with the motor configuration difference between the AWD and Cyberbeast. The AWD uses a permanent motor in the rear and induction motor on the front. The Cyberbeast uses the permanent motor on the front and two induction motors in the...
I've found those synthetic clay bars to be effective as well. After a winter of road salt and not washing once, I found quite a few of the metal contamination on the truck, especially the rear quarter panel. No rinse and clay removed most of the spots and BKF foam removed the rest.
I do...
Yeah, I wasn't seeing a person visualization on the screen, but it wasn't the clearest picture. I think FSD was stopping because the road cues were obscured with the water.
Yeah, surprised me the other day. I was washing the truck the other day and heard three beeps before the frunk opened. I think I also remember an app warning about advanced connectivity or something.
I work as a software engineer for a steering OEM parts provider. We have a test track that has various surfaces, the roughest being th cobble portion. Basically large rounded rocks 8-10 inches in diameter. We weren't directly studying the ZF steering units but I got access to have some fun.
No. There are a few dirt roads where I live and sometimes drive on for convenience, but not often. When I blasted over the cobvle portion of our test track, I did have it in off-road mode and didn't experience any harsh feel so I believe it that these modes do something. It's just not convenient...
The rough wheel hop is really pronounced on washboard dirt roads under acceleration. It feels like the suspension banging, but it's the front wheel torque causing skipping and grabbing. If they try to fix it with some kind of traction control software, then it will feel like a loss of power...
I'm not much into powertrain engineering, but I've heard from a few people that have experienced wheel hop during acceleration on rough surfaces, and experience it myself on the front end of my Beast. Combined with something I heard about the Beast using the front motor bias vs the AWD rear...
