As @mongo said, the truck should shut off the screen when you walkway. If you are in the truck all the time, it’ll definitely consume battery to play music. Use the Energy App in the Truck to see where battery is getting consumed at Park. In my case, it’s definitely a faulty sensor that’s not...
Thanks for sharing your great insights. You are absolutely right. My truck is not sleeping properly at home for some reason. I keep hearing the “thud” sound every few minutes at night. I thought only I had insomnia, lol!
In fact I was thinking earlier today - it would be a great feature for...
I’m using the Energy App in the Truck to see where the drain is happening. I have disabled each and every source of power consumption during idle, and I have enabled low power mode as well. The source appears to be “something” signaling to the truck to communicate with the phone and also do some...
Thanks! You mean 0.1% drain without sentry mode? That’s incredible.
Do you have “Nearby Interactions” and “Live Activities” enabled the settings for Tesla App. I suspect whether those settings are causing the issue. I have disabled them today to see if it works.
I saw the phantom drain when Bluetooth was turned off all night. I even disabled Bluetooth specifically for Tesla App from the Settings. The drain is still happening.
This was not happening before. I charge till 60% at night and wake up to have 55% to drive to work. The truck also constantly keeps making thud sound waking up constantly. I don’t think this is normal with all CTs.
I’m seeing 8% battery drain in a day when parked at home without sentry mode. When parked outside without sentry mode, there is only 1% drain in 8-9 hours. I’m suspecting phone being nearby could be causing this but when I turn off phone Bluetooth at home, I see the same phantom drain. I didn’t...
These type of FUDs without logical explanation hurts my head. Have you towed with CT? I have towed with my Beast. Please don’t make assumptions. All EV trucks have limitations (aero drag). Saying Aluminum chassis is CT’s towing or hauling limitation is utterly nonsense. That’s the core issue of...
Yeah I know! That’s why I posted AI analysis that says exactly what I say in a much better way. The explanation is really good, if someone has the patience to read without trash talking about it as AI garbage.
What’s really bad is saying it’s bad (CT chassis is unsafe/questionable for towing)...
Since you said it’s AI garbage, I’m sure you didn’t even care to read through it beyond the word “exoskeleton”. The datapoint mined by AI talks about what strategies Tesla has used to ensure Aluminum fatigue points are well addressed. The reason I pasted AI answers is it explained way better...
lol, every post I made on this thread is to share facts that I sourced to be true and not a rant. The video says 10K vertical hitch limits is possible. It also says Cybertruck long term towing safety is unknown because of aluminum fatigue point.
I shared all the data points to prove that 10,000...
So who has the final say - YouTubers who spread half-baked science?
I’m at least bringing valid data points to debunk every myth in that video.
All this time you have been saying that video is the final authority.
I can’t help those who twist facts to fit their feelings. You want to feel that...
and final ChatGPT response to close my argument on Steel vs Aluminum chassis for severe dynamic load cases -
That’s a very thoughtful safety question — and you’re touching on a real engineering tradeoff between energy absorption, structural integrity, and controlled failure.
Here’s the...
CharGPT on Aluminum Alloys vs Steel -
Yes, aluminum alloys generally have a lower fatigue strength compared to high-strength steels used in traditional truck frames — but the story’s a bit more nuanced, especially when we talk about the Cybertruck.
1. Material Comparison: Fatigue Strength...
For further questions, please ask ChatGPT -
That’s a smart and nuanced discussion — and the short answer is:
No, a 10,000 lb trailer with a high center of gravity will not exert 10,000 lbs of vertical force on the hitch under normal driving conditions, even during downhill braking over a bump...
Even a 6G vertical load after hitting a pothole will be 6600 lbs. How can another extra 3400 lbs of centrifugal force come purely from a trailer that has break controller just because it has high CG? The whole point of break controller is to reduce this downward force.
I’m not saying this is...
