    Hail storm (2"-3") survival results.

    No body damage or glass damage to be found. However, the weak point is the tonneau cover. It did take from what I can tell 4 visible dents on it. For others if you may find yourself with enough warning, I would recommend opening up the cover to prevent damage during a hail storm to protect...

    Hardcore FSD CT user's question:

    I can trust FSD almost all of the times except for when another driver does something stupid. Primary them cutting in front of me as a blind spot lane change maneuver. I have taken over control every time this has occurred (that I am aware of). Any feedback on how it handles the situation for...

    Smart Solar Charging the CT?

    So solar was just installed on my home and I would love some input from those more experienced. At peak sunlight hours I overproduce power from my solar system (w/ 1 Powerwall 3) depending on when air conditioner kicks off. Rather than sending the excess power back to the power company where I...

    FSD v13.2.8 obstacle avoidance recent behavior strangeness.

    An the past week I have noticed that my Cyberbeast while on FSD is doing some rather strange behavior. When it encounters skid marks or burnout marks on the roads it does a rather aggressive swerve to avoid them. I have also had it swerve rather hard when a car floor mat was also on the...

    Cybertruck and Tesla Insurance.

    Regarding the Safety Score that drives your monthly payment. Pros: Acceleration is not a metric. Speeding seems to be static based and not based on road limits. IE, something like 85+ mph creates a ding. It is pretty forgiving. Cons: Traffic aware cruise control will constantly ding you...

    Potential for rust?

    Being the panels are just glued to the inner high strength steel support structures then hung on to the vehicle does anyone concerns that the inner structures are going to rust out over time? The seams visually from what I have seen do not protect from ingress of water on to the inner supports...

    CT and ComEd DG Rebate program

    Now how can I convince ComEd that my CyberTruck is a energy storage device? Reading the PDF I am not finding any information requiring it to be stationary or fixed to the dwelling or property.

    Saw the CT in Naperville IL.

    My impressions: As I understood it, the Chicago CT within the past few days got transferred to Naperville, IL. So me and wifey (12/11) headed to Orland Park, IL to take a test drive of a Model Y LR which we ordered but decided after to go visit the Naperville store front (30 mins away) for...

    Did this fella just realalize he forgot to hit the send button 2 years later.

    I know I am guilty of composing work emails a day or two prior where I though I clicked the send button but had so many windows open that it went for awhile but this looks like it went farther that that. https://news.yahoo.com/tesla-breakthrough-may-totally-reinvent-220000358.html

    Apparently a brand new Tesla Model 3 after rebates can be the elusive $25K car right now.

    Some restrictions apply. :) This is limited to Riverdale, LA and San Fran in Cali and some other restrictions but it does exist today.

    Does Tesla even need to create a new model vehicle to release a $25,000 car?

    Just running some numbers and if: US Model 3 RWD (50Kwh battery) that now sells for $40,390 30% profit margin brings the cost to manufacture to $28,273 EV Manufacturer incentives of $35 per KWh reduces the cost by $1,750 (if I am not mistaken) This brings cost to manufacture it down to $26,523...

    Anyone else catch the 800v comment in the earnings call Q1 2022?

    A question about switching from 400v to 800v was posed to team Tesla. Elon and team mentioned it was not worth it to convert the existing vehicles over to 800v for a $100 per car savings. They went on to say 800v would be more useful for heavy load vehicles such as the Semi and CT. So gleam...

    The Electric Viking

    If you haven't seen this guys videos, check them out. He produces about 3-4 per day, so a lot of content at about ~10-20mins per video. Very likeable enough personality and provides pretty current and up to date EV info covering most all aspects. You won't find much hate from the fella so its...

    Who really wants to know what the CT final specs and features are going to be? The OEMS.

    If you think prospective customers are eagerly waiting for final CT specs, imagine how badly the OEM competition is waiting, lol. The OEM's are totally left in the dark at this point and unable to even plan for what they need to compete against. I am going to predict a few of the toughest...

    6 Gigaton press for the Front CT Clip?

    Has anyone given any thought if the existing 6 Gigaton press can handle the front clip of the CT? I could see the 8 Gigaton ton press being absolutely required for the rear end but I do question if that would be required for the front end? If the 6 Gigaton press can handle the front end, that...

    What is the likelihood that the first CT deliveries will be the Tri-CT with FSD option enabled?

    Being the profit margins for the FSD equipped CT are way higher being it costs Tesla the same amount to manufacture with or without the option I could see Tesla going this route. What are your thoughts? Being it's going to take some time before they can backfill the Tri CT's I would not be...
