    CyberTruck low sale numbers

    I keep hearing the size of the CT is too big. Have you compared it to, say, an F-150 of similar people capacity? My CT is smaller in every dimention except Bed size than my previous F-150 (and all of my F-250/350/450s). It IS larger than the Maverick we traded in. We loved the Maverick and...

    cybercab question

    Little tidbit. There are a LOT of cars on the road. As more and more become electric and more become Cybertaxis, the cost to purchase other vehicles will rise significantly. - Picture Ford selling 30% fewer vehicles in a short timeframe, say 10 years. They'll begin losing economy of scale...

    CyberTruck low sale numbers

    I have a FSCB and I know the dash is different from the AWD versions and maybe the newer versions. Maybe the A pillars are different too. It's all soft to the touch. The ONLY thing that I interact with that feels cheap is the lumbar support button. It's a 4-way switch and seems to operate...

    What he said. Recalibrate. It's easy enough to do yourself.

    CyberTruck low sale numbers

    I remember them taking a couple of the trucks to somewhere cold and doing winter testing. I don't know why the cant rail problem wasn't caught then. I have never felt that my Beast had cheap plastic anywhere. It feels nice and all the touch surfaces meet my expectations. Maybe I just have...

    FSD Lane Selection Woes

    As an example, an upcoming left turn lane but traffic begins stacking up almost 2 miles away and there's a solid white line for the last 1/8th mile. You shouldn't wait until right before the turn, stop in the fast lane with your left turn blinker on and hope someone already in the mile-long...

    FSD Lane Selection Woes

    I have. It'll navigate to the back slowly and then pick an empty spot somewhere. But, I want it to park at the very end if possible. It's common to park over the line into the strips a little at the end. It gives the person next to you more room and the person next to that person. I do it...

    FSD Lane Selection Woes

    I'm happy with mine. Every once in a while, it selects wrong. One place, it's always wrong. Two lanes turn right (my direction) after the light. Immediately after the exit, I have to merge over twice in a couple hundred yards to stay on the highway (all other lanes exit right). So, the...

    Latest FSD going backwards

    I'd prefer it to cheat away from traffic a little given 2 lanes of traffic. Basically, cheat away in outside lanes and center up if in a middle lane. One thing I noticed that changed is it reset my preferred way to end the drive (Parking lot, streetside, etc.). I didn't catch it until I was...

    Light Bar Recall for 2024 Foundation Series Cyberbeast (6,197 Units Affected)

    Now, this one is definitely wrong but I don't see it anywhere else in this thread. The long side of the triangle should be against the windshield. This is bad.

    Foundation purchasers that did NOT get lifetime free supercharging and connectivity

    Replying to my own post because... reason. Question: Of the 6,197 FSCB sold, how many are still owned by the original owner? Answer: Fewer than 6,197 though I have no way of knowing how few. Question: Of those people, how many would actually use free Supercharging on a regular basis...

    Foundation purchasers that did NOT get lifetime free supercharging and connectivity

    I did not receive Free Supercharging. Nor do I expect it. Picked up my FSCB, aka Fluffy, on Aug 17th, 2024 about 33,000 miles ago. (74% or so FSD since the release where it keeps track. Not a lot before that).

    Cybertruck FSD drives me into a lamp post!!

    I agree. When I got my CT, I was all about the fun driving it. It's still fun letting FSD do the commute slog. 75% FSD for me. Which is a LOT more than I thought I'd ever let it do. I'm so thankful it's as good as it is. So much so that I find myself no longer yearning for that next...

    Cybertruck FSD drives me into a lamp post!!

    TLDR: Dude, fewer words. Okay, fine. Roll back, relax, roll forward. Tesla should rename the "Speed Profiles" "Agression Profiles" Speed profiles are not really speed profiles. They are aggression profiles. Hear me out. It's how your CT behaves. You select: It acts. Standard: Yeah...

    Cheap Gas is ruining EV debate

    Interesting read. Thank you. I wasn't trying to insinuate that solar was replacing their coal production but just meant it is increasingly taking on some of the burden.

    Cheap Gas is ruining EV debate

    Apparently, as more people reach middle class, more people can afford air conditioning... China building power production Interesting tidbit: Though China started almost twice as many coal plants in 2025 as 2024, solar energy increased its share of power generation by 1%. Not a lot but it's...

    Thinking of canceling my Cyberbeast order (HW5)

    That's fair and I wouldn't want friends who only like my things either. I'm talking the subtle things. It already happens from just driving a Tesla or any other car that says "I have some money". I'm fortunate but sometimes want to shop for a bargain. It's hard to get a deal on a table saw...

    Thinking of canceling my Cyberbeast order (HW5)

    Because my interactions with people are, in part, shaped by how they feel about me. If a person's first impression of me is what they see and they come to the conclusion that I must make good decisions in my life as evident in part by how I dress, act, and that I drive an iconic legend, they...

    How do you tune an AM Radio station?

    Now that you mention it, I remember cutting the holes in the fender and mounting those antennae. You must be right about them being glass mounted. I'd get to drive the Mustangs from the radio shop up the hill to some other shop. Always liked driving them. New smell, party lights, pretty...
