    Rear drive inverter replacement

    Yeah but...my truck is my fourth early build Tesla. Vin 3983 S, Vin 3500 3, Vin 60xx Y and now truck 68xx. While all (except Truck so far) had some issues that needed service, none of these ever left me stranded, needing a tow etc. The biggest issue I experienced across the board was really fit...

    Tesla recommends Removal of the Wheel Fairings Before Off-Road Driving

    Yeah, not hard but as a routine not something I want to do. I take my truck off road almost every weekend...

    Tesla recommends Removal of the Wheel Fairings Before Off-Road Driving

    I damaged my left side-front driving off road, went through the app for service request and after 3 weeks was quoted $80 to replace (part only I checked to confirm no labor charge). I declined as this seemed like a stupid amount for something that I'll likely just break again. They are a PITA to...

    Hit a deer going 50mph! WOW tough Truck!

    According to this those don't work well: http://www.libertymutualimages.com/ProfDavePublic/documents/Large%20Animal%20Crashes%20LP5332.pdf Studies referenced appear older so maybe there is some new and improved tech going into modern deer whistles? Seems like the deer are probably running away...

    PowerShare Updates??

    Yeah, that thought crossed my mind but after reading the forums and finding lots of reports of delays etc thought maybe there is some truth? This company has done extensive work for Tesla including Supercharger installs so who knows!

    ⛔️ Wiper Motor Recall + Sail Applique Trim Recall for over 11K Cybertrucks

    On previous recall issues for Teslas I have owned, I have experienced a variety of approaches. Mostly, when the vehicle has come in for service for another issue, outstanding recall items or service bulletin items have been fixed at the same time. Outside of that, I would picture a very slow...

    CYBERTRUCK TIRE EATS A BOLT IN A REMOTE LOCATION ON SUNDAY MORNING

    Check out eBay. There are plenty of "factory take-offs" for sale, which are OEM wheel/tire combos with very few miles on them, typically sold for owners who opted to remove the factory wheels and put on after markets. I just bought an OEM Cybertruck wheel/tire to keep as a spare for $525. I plan...

    Icy road setting?

    I have found overly-aggressive regeneration braking can be a problem in icy conditions in the other Tesla vehicles I have owned. High regen can kick in with a sudden driver reaction to a situation/need to slow down where the driver completely takes the foot off the accelerator rather than easing...

    I was interviewed about Cybertruck off-road performance, good insights!

    Nice interview, echoed much of what I have experienced in my very limited off-road time in the cybertruck (in wetter east-coast terrain).

    Off-roading experiences, tips?

    I would say be cautious in wet/muddy terrain with incline. I found the stock tire tread doesn't seem to shed mud well and it is easy to loose traction in these conditions especially given the weight of the truck. Dry and steep was no problem (and lots of fun). Also I found the off road mode...

    Mine was in good shape when I picked up 5/15. No issues 12 days in and 807 miles. Took it off road this weekend and it performed well in some steep (22 degrees) and muddy conditions.

    Got my VIN - Northern VA

    Are you in VA? I got my PowerShare visit in NoVa March 29 but have heard nothing since. Received vin 1 week ago for Tysons but no word yet on delivery. For home charging, the truck will come with the mobile connector which allows you to charge the truck off any sort of wall power (120-240) as...

    What's up with the focus on States? I am in Virginia

    I had my assigned electrician for Powershare installation bid come to my home yesterday in Northern Va. the company is based out of suburban MD area. He said Tesla had given them 75 customers for them to assess homes all at once and they had been working hard to get through those as soon as they...
