I had both motors on my AWD replaced because of vibration and noise (subtle but measurable) between 50 - 65 mph. Parts Replaced FRONT DRIVE UNIT - DUAL MOTOR CONFIGURATION (1930000-TX-F) Parts Replaced REAR DRIVE UNIT - DUAL MOTOR CONFIGURATION (1920000-TX-H)

I considered this method of carrying the spare, and quickly decided against it. It interferes with access to the vault. Even when you take the time to lower the tire, the 34" diameter spare won't allow the gate to open fully at the lowest suspension level. More importantly, when the tire is...

I'm interested.

Could happen, of course, but there's more time to react in the vault. The tonneau will retract if it hits something solid. A child's arm extended through the open rear window could be injured pretty seriously if the tonneau suddenly closed on it.

I think he means the tonneau cover closing with a body part in the window opening. It will retract if it hits an obstacle, but the force is quite hard to overcome being blocked my snow and ice.

Yeah, off-road range is 15 to 20% less when you need it to be more. That's why taking a generator is important when going into back country wilderness where charging stations are scarce. The section of the Arizona Peace Trail from Kingman to Salome is 169 miles of rocky and sandy desert...

Yes. 4-7 kWh per gallon of gas is typical for a small generator. Efficiency is highest under full load. It points out very well why the CT Powershare feature is so much more cost effective than using a backup generator. At $4.00/gal of gas, a kWh of electricity from a gas generator costs...

I think the generator's maximum power output of 4500W is for all three outlets (37.5A). The 30A TT-30 will trip at 31A, or so the manual says. I tested my iGen4500 generator charging my Model Y Std Range. I limited the amperage to 24A and the generator displayed 75% load. The car’s UI...

That's the general NEC and UL rule. The generator's TT-30 outlet is spec'd at 30A so I either the breaker's nominal rating is higher (40A?), or the breaker is rated at 100% which I understand is allowed for an enclosed generator with properly sized and temperature rated cables. This generator...

AC charging from a generator suffers the poor efficiency (around 80%) of the CT's on-board AC to DC charger. To get the same 24A charging you can get from a 120V 30A outlet at an RV campground, the generator has to output 30A (30A x 0.80 = 24A). That requires a generator with a running output...

Yes, it would be a mistake to attempt to support the CT using any material that lacks sufficient compression strength. This table shows that a one-foot length of 4 x 4 #2 Douglas Fir dimensioned lumber will support 18,869 lbs (9.4 tons), more than twice the capacity of the jack. It's also...

Hang tough, and good luck.

A quick look under the truck, it's clear that only the rear motor/inverter/gearbox assembly was replaced. The half shafts, CV joints, and suspension parts are the original. I don't know what a rear motor replacement costs. This used motor is offered on EBay for $12,500. Add Tesla labor...

I agree, and I have two heavy duty jack stands that I would normally use. In this photo I'm testing the use of a wooden jack stand that is compact enough to take with me off road in the sub-vault in case I need to change a damaged wheel. Just because it's made of wood doesn't make it unsafe...

The nice thing about Easy Entry is that getting into the CT doesn't require a step. My 97 y.o. neighbor got in my CT with no problem.

I requested that the recalls be taken care of at my recent service appointment, but was told the parts aren't available. I've had no trouble with either the wiper motor or the sail applique.

I have this Yellow Jacket. It is very small and light despite being a 4-ton jack. I first raise the truck to the highest (Extract) level, put the truck in Jack Mode, block the wheels, unscrew the jack's extender piece all the way, place the jack on a block of wood (4" thick), place under the...

The Cybertruck is not like the millions of others out there. Take a look at this rear view photo of the sub-vault. The bottom of the sub-vault is 29" wide at the bottom and 12" deep to the supporting crossbar in the second picture. A full size CT tire is 37" in diameter and 11" wide...

Yes, it is soft. Very soft. Going off road is murder on the plastic flares. I plan on replacing plastic trim at some point, hopefully with a harder plastic when Tesla wakes up to this embarrassment.

The only way I'll be comfortable removing the side mirrors (I haven't done so yet, I fold them in to make them unusable while training), is to display the rear and side camera displays all the time. It covers the map, unfortunately, but the next turn instruction is still visible on the left...
