    Poll: How reliable has your Cybertruck been?

    I have to say first off that I love the idea of the truck and have talked with numerous people that have had little to no issues with there truck. I have had the truck since March of 24 and it had spent 2 months in the shop before I had it 8 months. Looks like I just got a lemon, and Tesla is...

    Side mirror shaking

    I came to the same conclusion. Noticed the effect with the direction of the crosswind and speed of the vehicle all made a difference in the vibration of the door panel causing the mirror to vibrate, and able to feel it in the door armrest very pronounced at times. The faster I drive the less...

    Tesla: Please add Cruise Control to the Cybertruck

    TACC in my truck is a joke. Panic slowdowns are very frequent. Someone turning 300 feet ahead of me (I’m only going 35mph) and it’s a panic slowdown. Semi in the oncoming lane, panic slowdown, but only sometimes so impossible to predict. Shadow in the road panic slowdown, again sporadic. I’ve...

    Free lifetime supercharging for Foundation Series Cybertrucks in inventory

    Just an observation of someone who’s had Tesla’s for a while Having owned a 6xxx VIN model S from before the majority of Tesla owners I’ve seen quite a change in Tesla. I understand that everyone will have had their own unique experience but my early time with Tesla was, for lack of a better...

    Free lifetime supercharging for Foundation Series Cybertrucks in inventory

    I have to admit that it burns me a little. When I was picking up my truck in March, Tesla would have allowed me to trade in my Model S and transfer the free super charging to any vehicle except the truck. I asked a number of times in the week leading up to picking up the truck. Now someone who...

    Snow/Fog and signature light bar

    Just showing my temporary solution with electrical tape. It’s not perfect but it definitely makes a difference. It leaves a path in the center of more visible area, but still having daytime running lights. We will see how long it lasts. I’ve seen others use black out tint for a more permanent...

    Tesla is replacing my HV Battery that has no issues.

    Mine was replaced due to the cell denting issue. My VIN is 4xxx though, so hopefully a different issue.

    Tire Inflator….may be over kill but works great.

    This must be a new feature as it didn’t use to not allow you to put it in drive. There were a few times where I was around 25 PSI while off road and decided to drive the 20 minutes to inflate them instead of using the portable.

    Snow/Fog and signature light bar

    Less hyperbole and more different experiences. After covering the signature light bar my visibility had a drastic improvement. I would say being able to see around 20’ in front of the vehicle to somewhere around 80’-100’ at the same speed. And this is purely due to the reflection of the snow...

    Snow/Fog and signature light bar

    As a point of clarification, I am not referring to the light bar that is mounted at the apex of the front windshield on the Cyberbeast. This is the light that is across the front of the frunk that is on every Cybertruck. “Signature Light Bar” is what it is called in the Tesla Cybertruck owners...

    Is your cybertruck very loud? I think its my windshield surround (seals)

    I’m experiencing this also. Did you find a solution?

    Snow/Fog and signature light bar

    Thanks for the question Crissa. When talking with the service manager she was saying that it needs to get reported to them, the Tesla service department. The best way is if you are taking your truck in to get recall or warranty work, making a service line item about the need for independent...

    Snow/Fog and signature light bar

    I had my first experience last week with a heavy snowstorm at night coming over a mountain pass. Having heard about the headlight issues that people were having in the snow, I was curious to see how it would be. For me, the headlights were an issue, having to stop about every 1-1.5 miles to...

    New Wheel Cover Design PRO or CON

    I eagerly waited 8 months for the wheel covers and I love the way they look on the truck. I wanted to love everything about them but… Yes they do make more noise than without them on and it may not be lug nuts (not a bad idea to check just in case though)?. Some people might not even notice...

    CT Preconditions for 100+ miles

    With the results that I’ve had, I’m not too worried about it.?

    CT Preconditions for 100+ miles

    This is from the article that you referenced. “ Luckily, most modern battery management systems will restrict voltage to safe levels.” I have a 2013 model S with 177,000 miles on it with 6.5% range loss. Preconditioning only started in recent years. Most of that cars life was before pre...

    CT Preconditions for 100+ miles

    It was my understanding that pre conditioning is only to speed up supercharging; to shorten your time at the charger, and to help relieve pressure on the charging network. Protection of the battery is why it charges slower when it is not at the optimal temperature. Since I had to stop by Tesla...

    CT Preconditions for 100+ miles

    I’ve noticed similar behavior on mine as well. I’ve noticed on some trips it has used so much energy preconditioning the battery that the amount of time saved was more in the seconds than even minutes. So if I noticed that it’s starting to precondition significantly before I get to a...

    Wind noise (windshield area) fix?

    I agree when you live in close proximity of your service center. Mine is a 6hr round trip to drop it off and then 6 more to pick it up. Since they are no longer open on Saturday, this also involves time off work if I want to go for a ride with someone to make sure that we are talking about to...

    Cybertruck Cabin Camp Beds - my DIY solution

    I’m 6’ tall and it was a long night on the floor with the back seats folded up and the front seats slid forward. I put 6” of foam down so that part was good, but far too cramped for me to be comfortable. Experience may very.?
