I've been reading the threads on the Cybertruck phone charger, which is actually a phone heater for many of us, for several years and realized that no one is coming to save us. The Qi charger standard depends on exact placement of the phone within about 1mm to align the coils and the only way...
Congratulations on your elk! This is the second elk I've harvested using the Cybertruck as my primary hunting vehicle. My friend has a 1-ton Dodge with a winch, so I have him do the elk transportation, but my fellow hunters who have ridden along with me have developed a respect for the...
On our trip down to Starbase to see the Starship 10 launch we stayed at Holiday Inn West Medical Center in Amarillo which had a row of Superchargers in their parking lot. Longhorn Steak house is within walking distance. We liked it so much we stayed there on the way back as well.
I live in Colorado. When I first moved here 40+ years ago we had no roundabouts. Now they are adding them at an alarming rate. They take about 6 months to complete for existing intersections. It seems like the only guideline in their design is that no new roundabout can look like any...
That Wired article is behind a paywall. Fortunately Grok has summarized it:
Summary of WIRED's October 16, 2025, Article: "Spit On, Sworn At, and Undeterred: What It’s Like to Own a Cybertruck"In this feature story, WIRED reporter Alana Semuels interviews seven Tesla Cybertruck owners at a...
If you avoid driving your Cybertruck for fear of disapproval or vandalism, you're letting the haters win. When I see the small percentage of folks that show disapproval of my CT when I'm driving, they don't bother me. I actually feel sorry for them. I see the young children who look at the...
I have noticed that my Cybertruck often has the speed limit wrong, sometimes 10 to 20 mph lower than the posted limit. I've never seen it think the speed limit was higher than the posted limit. I thought it read speed limit signs, but that doesn't appear to be the case. If it's going too...
I was used to holding down the microphone button to initiate voice commands because if you failed to start your sentence with a known command, for example, starting a navigation command with 'navigate ....' it would stop listening. So I was constantly getting into Grok when it was added when I...
Cyberbeach is about 1000 feet from the base of the launch pad. I took this photo about 8 hours before the launch last Wednesday. Max Evans (@_mgde_ on x.com) was setting up his cameras at that location and caught some awesome imagery you can see on his x.com account. They escort everyone off...
I got a Brookstone folding stool for $13 and found it to be much safer than feeling for a hidden bumper under the tailgate when getting out of the bed. Normally it's stored in the under bed storage container, but when I have the bed full, I pull it out and make it accessible near the tailgate...
As someone who owns both a CyberTruck FS and a Toyota Prius Prime with ADAS, I can say for certain that the Toyota is YEARS behind Tesla when it comes to FSD. All the Toyota can do is adaptive cruise control with lane assist. That is not FSD. Not even close. It won't stop at stop signs, make...
I would think that the $7500 EV tax credit which requires you to take delivery by 9/30/25 would have caused a large influx of orders for the AWD models among those who have been on the fence. It's just 10 weeks away and you have to take delivery by then, not just place an order by that date...
Wouldn't adding the FSD option to the order take it over the $80,000 MSRP threshold for the $7500 federal tax credit? I'm not so sure this is much of an incentive. Saving $1000, but losing $7500 of tax credit, provided you qualify, isn't going to move the needle much.
I'm a fellow Coloradan. I picked mine up last June (12K VIN) and it has been awesome. Nearly every interaction I've had with strangers have been positive and I've never had anyone I've given a ride to express anything other than astonishment and a big smile.
I've never had an issue with...
Both of those videos are highly suspicious. They were designed to embarrass Tesla and were very misleading, if not defamatory. If driving through the painted scene was done without FSD enabled, but implying it was, then it should be taken down.
The video by Jerry Rig Everything that broke...
I met a woman at a Supercharger with a model X and she had over 250,000 miles on a car that was only 4 years old. I asked her how she managed to accumulate that kind of mileage and she told me she had free Supercharging and so instead of flying to places they had previously flown to, they now...
Did you have to purchase or register your truck under your S-corp's name to qualify for the federal tax credit? Also, were you also able to get the Colorado Innovative Truck tax credit for $5K? It's explained here...
