Okay so it looks like newer Teslas do have an OBD port, but it's located in the center console rather than in the standard driver well location. These devices work by putting appropriate CAN messages/signals on the bus for the desired functionality. Say you want to open the glove box with one...

Unless things have changed, Tesla doesn't use the OBDII port for data/diagnostics. Also, the vehicle communication network doesn't use a traditional CAN bus so you would need an ethernet device to interface with the network to even start to attempt to decode network traffic. After that, it...

I'm seeing two conversations going on here. There's the Cybertruck/Tesla enthusiast that is highly defensive of any critical discussion because we've had to weather all kinds of FUD attacks and have (mostly) been on the right side of the discussion. They're very sensitive to any questioning of...

Do we know the full symptoms of the failure? I don't know the limp home conditions of a low voltage event to the brake booster, but I wonder if it could be something similar to a limited assist condition where the brake booster would still provide some boost, but less. Was it a total loss of...

The article was light on details and I haven't been able to follow if anything else has come out on this, but it does seem like there are a few posts about critical failures or system start issues that are concerning. My take is that if the brakes (electric brake booster) and SbW system were...

Wait, was "Armada" one of the options in the "what should we call a gathering of Cybertrucks" vote?

I've been driving a Model X since 2016 so my experience will be different than the newest versions. I'm 6' and realized that I can't see the front of the Model X and also have A-pillar visibility issues on some larger sweeping left hand turns. It's mostly a non-issue since my 2016 has...

I went 1 year without getting PPF on my Model X and collected a few paint chips, so I took it to a place to paint correct the front and apply a front wrap. It included the front bumper, hood, front quarter panels and mirrors. It's been on for 7 years and it's still holding up for the most...

I think the visibility experience will be similar to driving the Model X. There are certain sweeping left hand curves in my subdivision that are obscured behind the Model X A-pillar, and I find myself having to lean towards the center to view the road for oncoming traffic. Also, I can't really...

I have MyQ on my openers and have it integrated into my Control4 home automation system. I also have a HomeAssistant server running to integrate all my other random devices into one automation interface. MyQ removed their API which broke the HomeAssistant integration, but my Control4...

Message received: Blood sacrifice to the Machine god in exchange for VIN.

I think we need some kind of an FAQ on this rust topic because it seems like it's been talked to death and easy remedies have been found. Yes, it would be nice if the service center would prep the vehicles before releasing them to the customer, but it's been in the standard Tesla checklist to...

Yeah, early Founder release videos claimed that service centers were multi-stage sanding surface prepping the trucks before customer release. This treatment should remove any surface contaminants. Maybe some centers sand prepped their trucks, but not all?

Depending on how Tesla implements their driver detection, you could have been experiencing hand wheel motor output used for that purpose. Torque sensors will detect driver hand wheel force and frequency, which is different than the force applied by the hand wheel actuators. Also, it could have...

I saw one picture here with a Cybertruck in the rain. The front windshield had that golden rainbow color that I see on my Model X, which I think has good heat rejection on the front windshield. I usually experience the most heat coming from the side windows rather than the front.

We're getting rid of the X since it's older and my primary. House main breaker is 200A. EV panel breaker is 150A and geothermal is 150A. Three separate meters going to our ground pad transformer. If I add a sub panel off the main that will re-route the essential house circuits plus a 50A...

Yes, we have 3 separate meters on our house. Car charging, geothermal, house main. The EV and geothermal are metered at a different rate, but don't disable for time of use. The easy part is that I already have 6 gauge wire for the 50A car charging circuit going from the car charging...

I'm a 12/28 Cyberbeast configuration in Michigan and just got the Powershare approval email yesterday too. My particular setup should be pretty easy to integrate. We have a separate panel for EV charging since we get a special EV time of use charging rate in Michigan. The panel has 2...

I'm an RN11278XXXX but in Michigan with a 12/28 Cyberbeast configuration so I'll camp here but won't start to get excited before June. Just got the email that my house is eligible for the Powershare hardware installation so that's nice.

If they're the same products marketed for kitchen appliances, I wouldn't want to put them on my Cybertruck. They clean, but also leave a residue to even out the surface appearance, that needs to be reapplied to upkeep. Seems like it would be a hassle to maintain that surface in an outdoor...
