I missed the included 12V converter -- thank you. You're probably already aware but the pods you are looking at are "Offroad" and may not be ideal for street use. I love the anti-icing feature on those though. I'm hoping having the foglights out of the headlight ledge will make the difference.
I had the same experience driving home from work through a blizzard in the middle of the night last week in Northern Utah. I actually love driving in the snow, and this was my first time in the Cybertruck. The snow tire package was installed by Tesla a few days before and I was excited to test...
Maybe you've already figured this out, but picked up April 25, and on June 4th I received an email titled "Update: Your Powershare Home Backup Installation." It states Tesla will be sending a $2,500 voucher for equipment purchase. There is a link in the email to Tesla's Powershare Support page...
The hard side walls/roof are aluminum sandwich with insulation inside. It does well with the roof fan and/or a cross breeze up to a certain point. I don’t have an A/C unit on mine but that would extend the top end significantly if you have access to power or truck charging.
It has a super...
Yeah, I hear you. That was the exact scenario I was coming from with my old truck. But I love driving the Cybertruck vs any other vehicle I’ve driven. Even without FSD on this road trip. If I was really pressed for time I might pick a different tow vehicle, but the extra time required for doing...
Our freeway speed limit is 80 in my area, so unless I’m worried about range I don’t usually drive 65mph (without the trailer). But, for science I will try it.
Meanwhile, A Better Route Planner uses 439 Wh/mile for reference consumption @ 65mph.
So my quick scratch math: if I was averaging 536...
TL;DR Cybertruck averages 536 Wh/mile towing small pop-up trailer with average freeway speed of 65mph. 820 miles, $113 supercharger cost. 2%/night phantom drain while camping. A Better Route Planner is super helpful and accurate. Unhitching/hitching adds 7 minutes (total) per charge on 4/6...
"Bar Keepers Friend More" spray has the same ingredients but without the micro-abrasives as in the original powder and liquid. I think it's less likely to cause unintended marking, especially if you use a microfiber towel for application. I didn't have to use anything highly abrasive to get the...
My first attempt at camp mode (in the garage) took it out of level side to side, and into level front to back. About half a bubble on a four foot level so nothing crazy, but still kinda funny.
When I took it out of camp mode it reversed (fixed side to side level and undid the front to back...
Yeah, their chemists are probably the ones that are wrong, who am I to say.
However I don’t know how to be more clear. I did not observe a film or streaking. It left a beautiful flawless finish with one small extra polished spot. I am REALLY happy with it! :)
I think I should try and clarify further. For my initial cleaning I was definitely not adding Windex to Bar Keepers Friend More. Don’t do that. The base will neutralize the acid. Applied separately, the BKFM (acid) cleans the oils off of the steel, then the ammonia (base) in the Windex...
Hmm. I was following the prep instructions for Protectaclear. They seem to have experience with stainless steel. Worked like magic for me. I can’t speak to the long term consequences for HFS, I’m going to be sealing it soon, but I think it’s pretty tough :)
Do you have a glass cleaning...
In Utah you do not have to have your Cybertruck listed on your insurance policy at time of purchase. A photo of your current insurance card will suffice.
The app will continue to ask for payment. Don’t worry about it. Just bring your cashiers check with you when you pick up your truck. This...
It took me maybe 6 x 1 minute scrubbing of one area on the door (with BKF More, then wipe off with Windex using Costco microfiber towels for both) to “mostly” get the marks off. I quit at that point to not completely aggravate my carpal tunnel as it was the worst and last of the marks/spots I...
I don’t know how much it matters but I picked up in Pleasant Grove, UT and your (awesome) website says SLC. I believe I had requested SLC but they are only delivering Cybertrucks in Pleasant Grove at this point.
cgladue thanks for your work on this. Is there a way to send you a “beer” ??
Near as I can tell you will be assigned a VIN when your truck is built in Austin, the order of which is at least loosely tied to your reservation # and configuration date.
“Normal” communications for Bobsi included a “Tesla advisor” messaging him on his Tesla app while his truck was still in...
I found it on the lot. I don’t live very close but happened to be driving by. Or if they’re open and you have a VIN and you can find Tesla advisor they will look it up for you.
