    L-Track mounting in the FRUNK??????

    Does anyone have any definitive information on L-Tracks in the frunk? I know that I have seen: 1) At least one CT at the delivery event with a Pelican (?) case strapped to tie downs on either side of the frunk 2) somewhere, saw one with short sections of L-Track installed in the same general...

    Cybertruck ordering (not reservations) available in Tesla app now 📲

    Just noticed that in the Tesla (iOS) app, I now have an extra vehicle showing up! If I swipe left from our first model 3, I get a CT configure/order screen. So tempting, it’s kinda like those free samples at Costco….😎 Update: Screenshots. Posting from phone, hope I didn’t duplicate.

    Cybertruck insurance quotes....

    Just putting this here as a placeholder for when we get close to deliveries. Anybody gotten any quotes (unlikely?). Anyone asked Tesla about their costs to insure?

    Cybertruck Camping & Overlanding Accessories (from Tesla Takeover 2023 @ SLO California)

    Just wanted to make a thread to post pictures of some of the aftermarket camping solutions (not necessarily restricted to CT) that were on display at the Tesla Takeover. Will make a new post for each of the (4) products (there were several others like "camp boxes" for the Model S but didn't...

    Ford/GM/Superchargers... the ELEPHANT in the room......

    Other concerns aside... why is nobody talking about this? Supercharging spaces are already pretty tight and it can be difficult to open doors all the way even in Model 3. Most Tesla users are pretty considerate about that, but given the general inability in the general public (my opinion) to...

    How can this work? (Rube Goldberg charging setup!)

    Hey all... sorry , not specifically CT related but..... Getting ready for our first big "Supercharger road trip" through the southwest national parks. For two of our stays, we'll be off the beaten path from superchargers, so I've collected a bunch of adapters to plug into level 2 chargers...

    Could next gen model use in wheel hub motors?

    Srsly, if you're looking to reduce costs, what's better than eliminating most of the drivetrain? - At most you would have two motors, can probably get away with just one (most rear wheels drive ice cars really only applied power to one wheel) - The myth of "unsprung wheel weight" has been...

    FSD use at the factory?

    Every time I watch a vid of the Austin GF I'm amazed at the scale of logistics that must be required to just move those cars off the line and get them onto carriers for delivery. It has to be a huge labor cost,. Which got me to thinking.... why not use the FSD to have the cars drive themselves...

    Can't Tesla fund their own loans? (high interest, demand impact, etc)

    Was thinking (I know that's dangerous). If the higher interest rates are going to affect demand, doesn't Tesla have plenty of cash on hand to just finance loans at a lower rate? Rather than pairing with a bank (which is what they do now I think?). Are they regulated into having to stick to the...

    Cybertruck logo wall plaque... first cut

    So after seeing the new CT logo in the prototype charge port, I decided to see if I could come up with a design for a wall emblem similar to what I did for the regular Tesla logo. (You can see it on the wall in the picture below.) Plans are to CNC this from MDF and then just paint it. I...

    CT footage from service center

    Spending the day "WFL" (Working from Lobby!) of the Santa Barbara Service Center ( :(). The continuous video loop on the TV has about 1 minute of CT footage, some of which I've never seen before. Some of it probably from the Cyber Rodeo. Enjoy. ETA: Apologies for the background conversation...

    Tesla should make a SS wall connector cover!

    There I said it. You can get them to match all the other Tesla colors, so would be cool to have one that matched the CT! Maybe I'll just get some spray paint.....

    Clarification on 4680 ramp up problems.....

    Just want to clarify if anyone has followed this more closely (can be fun trying to aggregate all the rumors). Is the problem with ramping up production on the 4680 solely a Tesla problem? Or is Panasonic having the same issues? Seems they keep inferring that they will just get more batteries...

    Austin Model Y ("Longhorn" edition?) spotted in California, Central Coast area

    took my nephew to see the elephant seals along Highway 1 today (just north of San Simeon/Hearst Castle) and look what we found in the parking lot! (VIN confirmed) Would have just assumed it was a Fremont Y, but the horns gave it away.... :cool:

    That wasn't Elon Musk......

    Sorry, that thread title is a bit of click bait. But I've seen it reported, and not seen it corrected. People keep saying that the drone show drew a picture of Elon (among other things). And havn't seen it corrected. But I'm pretty sure that was actually a portrait of Nicola Tesla. Change my...

    Whining about Austin celebration

    The only response I can think of is "Cry me a f***in river, Karen!" "I urge you to consider rejecting this permit and forcing Tesla to delay their celebration until they start treating the community of Eastern Travis County as more than a workforce for Elon Musk, but rather as neighbors and...

    How to interpret this "cold call" email from Tesla?

    So I got this both as a text message and an email today: ================= "Happy Sunday! This is XXXX from Tesla. You took delivery of a model 3 a few years back, I hope you're loving your car! would you be interested in getting a trade-in estimate to see the value of your car, a test drive...

    Almost as durable as Stainless Steel?

    Found this at the local gas station today. Look closer.... entire truck sprayed in bed liner material. If I don't get the CT, I'm tempted to get a model Y and do the same...... tough as hell! :) (I had sprayed the fenders only of my '86 Toy) Entire cost: $280 (guessing he did it himself)
