Hey CT Crew,
Took delivery of my Foundation Series Cybertruck in May 2024. This is my second winter and we have, of course had several freeze-thaw cycles in Michigan and after the latest ones I noticed adhesive failure on two panels: visible gaps/separation.
The front driverās side is rattling...
For those interested, there is unlimited potential to build off the L-Track rails using bolt adapters like this:
US Cargo Control L Track Double Stud Fitting with Bolt Thread, Use with L Track Rails in Your Truck Or Trailer to Create Instant Tie-Down Anchor Points, Working Load Limit of 1,333...

Correct! The shelves are too high for the vault to close. Plus, the shelf is just one more thing to have to take out when in need of the full bed.

I was so done with this: Every time I needed the full 6 ft bed (skis, lumber, anything long), I had to unclip the full size spare from the bed floor, wrestle the 35ā tire out, find somewhere to store it, then clip it back in later. Total pain.
Fixed it permanently in 15 minutes for ~$63...
Good luck and a word of caution on the scratch remediation. My hood came full of scratches at delivery, yet they said it was normal. I insisted, so they sent it off to a body shop who ārefinishedā the entire hood. Came back 100x worse than it was at delivery. CS again said it was within spec and...
1,207 Wh/mi average over 234 miles. Didnāt use A/C or preconditioning the entire trip. Max 67mph, 90% highway without stops, minimal hills in Michigan.
1,200 Wh/mi for Cybertruck pulling my boat results in 100 miles of total range. Really hopeful for range efficiency improvements and the range extender.
And if the Wh/mi wasnāt bad enough⦠Charging with a trailer!? Ugh. Why donāt more charging stations have the pull-thru pedestals?
Great questions! While the aluminum adjustable drop hitch will do 12,500 lbs, the highest weight rated black riser I could find is made by Curt for 7,500 lbs, which is fine for my 6,500 lb surf boat. I donāt plan on flooring it from the line with the boat behind me :-) Link: https://a.co/d/cF6Uaus
My hack to get top of ball to 24ā with adjustable aluminum hitch into the receiver, which is buried 3ā behind the bumper. While I was able to get the aluminum hitch to drop from the stock receiver, the bumper was in the way when attempting to flip it over to get it to rise.
Thanks! Interesting why your installer thought a downstream non-PW backed sub-panel would be able to (safely) backfeed to the gateway. The UWC breaker definitely needs to be in the gateway for PowerShare with the comms wire attached and handshake tested successful. My installers were on the...
I was lucky enough to get in queue directly with the contractor before Tesla outsourced to Qmerit. Sounds like people nationwide are having issues, including long unexpected wait times with no communication. Good thing weāre all used to that!
PowerShare install #5 here in west Michigan! Here's my install, provisioning, and testing timeline.
Out of Pocket Cost: $4,000
Wait time to install: 2 months
Electric outage during install: 5 hours
Wait time until PowerShare active: 4 days after install
Simulated Outage Service Interruption: 5...
good news for midwesterners! This is info I received from my delivery center. It appears a train full of cybertrucks is making its way to the Chicago area for distribution of several trucks through the Midwest! I received my VIN on May 1st and was told its production date was that morning and...
