Seems like they filmed it on the same day since both Brawley and Scentwedge were in both. Is this a consumer Cyberbeast? This and the "TheStradman" videos are the first I've seen of the cyberbeast, but no mention of who the owners are.
Also, I'm not much of an offroad guy. Is driving around a...
Looks like 7-10" of snow there and a slight incline. The OEM tires are "triple peak" rated and it seems like it's light snow capable, but in that weather, I would have dedicated winter tires. I run all seasons during the warm months and snow tires during the winter on my Model X and snow...
Yeah, that's what I'm thinking. I'd like to see a "wet tire" test so we can see how the rear steering causes the rear of the vehicle to cut in compared to non-rear steer vehicles. Also, I don't think we've seen if the rear wheels angle when performing lane changing operations.
T Sportline compares the turning radius on a Foundation series AWD against Model X, S, and Y. The test is a little rough, but pretty good at demonstrating that the turning radius is similar to other Tesla vehicles. I thought rear steering was currently set at something less than maximum?
Yeah, it's not like I'm launching at every light. I like to get up to speed fast and stay there. Never broke traction or chirped my tires. I think it's heavy acceleration in combination with staggered wheels and directional tires so I can't rotate them. The later tires I've purchased are all...
Maybe? Do we know what color treatment is on the aluminum? If it's paint (doubt it) I wouldn't want to scrap ice off it. If it's anodized, I would feel safer knowing that the plastic scraper is softer than the color treatment.
I'm not sure if the AT tires will offer any tread ware longevity, but if my Model X is any indication, it won't be too long before you'll need to replace those OEM AT tires. My initial OEM Model X tires lasted 15k miles and wore to the belts on the rears. It was partially due to poor camber...
I think it's pretty much a losing game if you try to wait for a "mature" Tesla vehicle. Traditionally, OEMs would have model year releases with very little substance change between the model years. Cosmetic updates, maybe some slight engine changes, but all incremental changes. Tesla...
I'd also be interested in what happens if there's ice/debris on it. Can you scrape it with an ice scraper without damaging the finish on the aluminum? Is the finish anodized or surface coated? Is there enough tolerance to allow some ice while the cover is stowed? Will wet leaves be squeegeed...
Nah, I've never had a vehicle with locking differentials so I wasn't sure how they distributed torque. I was confused from statements like this:
It seems to imply that the full power of the rear wheels will be applied to the wheel with traction, so in my mind, the total output of the rear...
Thanks. Early on, some people were saying that they prefer dual lockers over torque vectored rear motors and I'm trying to figure out why the former would be more desirable in an off-road situation.
So in the case of one wheel in the air or on very slippery mud, unlocked diff will cause the wheel without traction to spin with all the torque. When locked the torque is forced to be distributed evenly to both wheels regardless of traction, allowing the wheel with traction to get torque...
So if the AWD has a rear motor rated at 600 HP (450 kW) and the Cyberbeast rear is rated at 845 HP (630 kW), then the AWD with the rear locker will put out more HP to the non-slipping (~600HP) wheel than the Cyberbeast (845/2 = 457.5 HP)? Is there any power loss calculation through a locked diff?
Liftmaster doesn't have the login, it's a MyQ login. It's all handled on a phone app. The website login redirects you to the MyQ app. If you're only using the MyQ app, then there's no subscription. From what I'm reading, the MyQ controls are IoT only and don't operate locally on Wifi (e.g...
Yeah, rear facing foonfs with the anti-rebound bar would make the car seat touch the back of the front seats in the Model X unless you sacrificed front seat legroom. Don't we already have measurements on hip and legroom specs on the Cybertruck, and comparisons against the F150 or have those...
We had 2 Clek Foonfs and 2 Diono radian 120s in the model X at different times, but never 3 across. The most we've had was 1 Foonf and 2 booster seats and that was hand crushingly difficult to buckle. Hopefully a Cybertruck will make it to the Car Seat Lady so they can update their database...
We have 3 garage doors and installed Liftmaster 8500s on them (5 years ago). They use MyQ it works well with the MyQ app and Control4 home automation. The only thing that rubs me wrong about it is that I also use HomeAssistant to conglomerate my Control4 and various other smart plugs. MyQ...
