My screwdrivers did not fit very well so I made a tool by grinding one carefully so it matches the fastener head. It would be nice if they had little handles on the fasteners.

Well it's a pickup truck. My 2011 F150 COULD get 20 mpg but that was highway only and never over 70. My average Wh/mi is about 383. My Model Y and 3 are 274. But they are not trucks.

Update - I have pulled several stumps with the 6,000 lb winch above and pulleys. I first excavate and cut as many roots as I can find with my Milwaukee sawzall. I can charge its batteries with the truck while winching, etc. Once you can get the stump to rock a little, the winch will probably...

The Amazon link says they reduce drag. Any proof to that? High-Performance Aerodynamic Design Reduces Drag Custom Fit

You're own situation determines your charge rate needs. I use my solar to charge as much as possible. That limits me to a maximum of about 16A. I am retired so I don't have a daily commute but I do a lot of charity work and have grandkids. Average two to 3 times a week. I don't need any more...

Well a 120 kWh battery is 60% larger than a 75 kWh battery so it is probably logical that using the same charger, it will take longer to charge.

the 800w being You mean 800V, right? the 800V vs 400V has no effect on level 2 charging. If charging at home (0-100% in 12.5hr) is not fast enough, then you probably need to go to a supercharger.

Charging on AC electricity uses the charger in the truck. All you need is an AC outlet. The Tesla V2 EVSE (portable 'charger') will work up to 32A which is 240X32 = about 7.5kW. The battery is about 120 kWh so 130÷7.5=16 hours to charge from 0% to 100%. Should be sufficient for most people. The...

For the rear doors, you can turn on the child safety locks.

I'd imagine that some of the protective films available now would also do well. Good job.

Since the initial build, I have swapped for a 6,000lb winch only because the 10,500lb winch weighs about 75lb and I am too lazy. the 6,000lb winch is about 37lb. With two pulleys I can probably outpull the 10,500lb winch. It only takes about 3-4,000 pounds to drag all 4 tires in grass anyway.

Mine is a thread here. I use my winch on my F150 regularly. The Cybertruck does not have a 12V system capable of running a winch. So I built a 12V 400A power supply from 4 100A server supplies. Works great...

Names and phone numbers and addresses posted? Have y'all never heard of a phone book? They used to be dropped on your doorstep.

Jumper locations: With the label up and the output end of the supply facing you, the power on jumper is connected from the left most contact to the 4th contact. On my supplies they are numbered 33 and 36. The load sharing jumper connects the second contact from the left #34 on each power supply...

I wired the two hot wires from the NEMA 15-50 to the hot and neutral of the 5-20 socket and also wired the ground. I did this because the power supplies will output 100A each on 240V Input. I wrote in Sharpie "240V" all over the 5-20 so I would not forget. I have no way to feed power to the...

This is what I bought but they are out of stock. https://www.ebay.com/itm/405304765216 This will work but much more expensive...

I pick up food for the local food bank every week and the extra storage room above the cap affords would keep me from having to make extra trips. A Super Walmart has lots of food donations every week.

My App on my phone lists "Base Autopilot" under the Specs and Warranty section. I do not have FSD.

On the App it says my truck has "Base Autopilot". What is that?

Got my truck back from Service. One of the items was lack of Autosteer. My Service invoice says: "Verified Autosteer is not enabled. Found at this time for cybertrucks, autosteer is not included in the basic autopilot configuration. Full self driving only has this enabled at this time."
