    Tesla supplier demands $250k/day ransom for parts

    Humm, corporate mercenaries storming a Tier 1 partner's facility due to bad faith dealings regarding disputed property. That certainly would change the corporate landscape and I think the current administration would approve as long as there was a little something in it for them. Plus, they...

    High voltage battery replacement needed at 12k/ 8month ownership

    That's a glass is half full kind of attitude. :LOL:

    Never go full Edsel!

    The Cybertruck was destined to be controversial at best. Delays, and the big price gouge for the Foundation Series turned off even some of the most serious buyers. You can't look at a Cybertruck without thinking about the CEO whose antics continue today. I love my Cybertruck and with a fully...

    Cybertruck Shooting suspect

    It isn't "censors", it's the big entertainment businesses corporations that get nothing ($) from from Tesla advertising wise. They have no intention of giving Tesla "free" publicity by featuring them in the high quality entertainment ( :rolleyes: ) they offer. It's a pay for play game and always...

    Cybertruck Shooting suspect

    "News game" indeed. It's all about the clicks and eyes on the subject that inflames people. The news was once called Journalism and there was at least an effort to be truthful and honest even if it often fell short of ideal. It is now any idiot with a video and a keyboard. I hope our Robot...

    C’mon Tesla - Focus on Getting Speed Limit Signs Correct

    It might be because there are so many Tesla's (hence more localized training data) here in California but I just don't have the problem to the extent many are experiencing. The FSD release notes acknowledge the issues and they are feeding the AI the images that address these issues but there are...

    Hit a deer doing 55 mph in NC

    A lot of us can relate to that situation (substitute Fox with deer, dog, cat, child, child/adult on bike) ... you get the picture. :)

    Appeal for FSD transfer? Anyone press this hard @ delivery?

    When Tesla announced they would end the purchase of FSD on Feb 14, and the ability to transfer previously purchased FSD to a new Tesla vehicle was also ended for orders placed after March 31, 2026. Those dates were material in my decision to order my Cybertruck Premium Dual Motor rather than...

    Audi offers hybrid AWD "flattened Cybertruck"

    Humm ... I like it but the game has progressed beyond the physical vehicle. It's a software defined world now and Tesla is the only company doing it the right way.

    Any Ada, OK people with lift pucks?

    Actually a small piece of 2"X4" would work too. I'm guessing the tire shop(s) in Ada OK want nothing to do with a Tesla hence the reluctance to use their top notch engineering skills to help a damsel in distress.

    Any Ada, OK people with lift pucks?

    I don't know about ADA OK but here in No CAl, Amazon will deliver a set in 3 hours for $20.00. Yet another advantage of living on the Left Coast ... Also, I believe is is against the law to own or even drive a Tesla in OK so there's that. :)

    Bed grid system for locking things in

    Not on X so I miss all the good stuff but I have to wonder what's the application here? I have two cargo nets to secure stuff in the bed and they are anchored to the L-Track. I also bungee things as needed using the L-Track anchors. It would seem to be pretty easy to DIY some dividers for...

    Why is the Cybertruck production so slow?

    I'm sure the supply chain was more than a little disappointed that Tesla wasn't ordering Cybertruck parts at the expected levels 250,000/yr. They're doing approximately 5% of that so those contracts must also be worth 5% of the projections. Tough way to run a business when your customer reduces...

    Why is the Cybertruck production so slow?

    I recall one of the Cybertruck lines was repurposed for Cybercab and that is Tesla's current focus. Also, they are essentially 1 shift building Cybertruck on order but the base model's popularity caught them by surprise. It's a great vehicle and I hope more people begin to realize the comfort...

    Kyle confirms that we're the smartest people in the world.

    Yeah well he has his fair share of issues. The notoriety his channels have received gives him a microphone he doesn't really deserve and the flip flopping is an attempt to appear unbiased. In any case, I would never knowingly buy a vehicle he had used first. :cautious:

    Any Cybertruck Owners end up using the EcoFlow Ocean Pro?

    The economics should probably dictate the choice. Our house is a 1.5 story with 3600 sq ft. In June of 2021 I had Tesla install a 12.4 kW solar panel system with 2 Powerwalls. I love the system and it is grid connected so I get approx $1000/yr in rebates. The total system cost was $48K but there...

    Why are 15,000 mile CT’s selling for MSRP on Carvana?

    Humm ... I have purchased new and used vehicles from Tesla. Never had one problem in 5 distinct transactions. Due to order backlog and the low production numbers of new units, used Cybertruck's are filling the demand. That is the essence of supply and demand in the marketplace but conspiracy...

    Would you have Purchased the CT if, "it looked more like a normal truck?"

    That's a great point. Tesla needs to do a rear facing camera add kit for the existing Cybertruck's that mounts on top of the Tonneau Cover just below the roof glass like the after market guys have done but is fully integrated with the other cameras and the FSD software. I'd be willing to pay...
