    Worried about hate crime - Want to buy a Cybertruck [LOCKED DUE TO POLITICS]

    Physical link to what? When the FSD computer is steering the vehicle (say Model 3), the steering is powered by its 12V system. The Computer isn’t physically turning a steering wheel. (The computer has no arms) One could argue the extra drag of the steering wheel etc. makes steering harder for...

    Worried about hate crime - Want to buy a Cybertruck [LOCKED DUE TO POLITICS]

    Rear-wheel-steering is obviously possible with a 12V system. Just look at GM. Steer-by-wire is also obviously possible with a 12V system. When in FSD/Autopilot the computer is essentially steering via wire. None of the other Teslas need 48V to make that possible. The 12 volt systems are less...

    Worried about hate crime - Want to buy a Cybertruck [LOCKED DUE TO POLITICS]

    From what I’ve heard, Elon did NOT initially want steer-by-wire or rear-wheel steering. The amazing team at Tesla talked him into it. I like Tesla vehicles (minimalist interier, amazing software, FSD supercharger network etc.)and I wanted a truck. I like the Steer-by-wire and rear-wheel...

    Does 12.5.5 Have Always-On Lane Keeping Assist, Or Just When Auto-Pilot / FSD Is Engaged?

    Sorry, I just reread and still didn't see where you defined it. But I did see where nocyber said " If the question is do other models have always on lane keep wherein the car pings you back into your lane..." I guess "pings you back into your lane" could be the same as what I described as a...

    Does 12.5.5 Have Always-On Lane Keeping Assist, Or Just When Auto-Pilot / FSD Is Engaged?

    You need to define what you mean by "Active Lane keep assist". My 2018 Jeep Grand Cherokee has Lane Keep Assist. There's a light on my dashboard. White means it isn't working because the car cannot see/follow any lines. Green means it sees the lines, and we are between them. Orange means...

    Car wash mode during strong rain storms?

    The mode that pressurizes the battery is WADE mode. Not Car Wash mode. Unless it's raining so hard that you are driving in standing water (i.e. wading) I would say you shouldn't need to activate wade mode when it's raining.

    Waymo will beat Tesla FSD because of LIDAR

    Tesla Full Self Driving (Supervised) is only Level 2. The human must be alert and actively supervising at all times. Level 3 does not require the human to be alert at all times. The human must be there to take control IF the ADS requests the human to intervene. Otherwise the Level 3 system is...

    Geico Cybertruck insurance official update: "GEICO has coverage available nationwide for the Tesla Cybertruck"

    From the sounds of it people have been having good experiences with Progressive (as good as an experience with an insurance company can be anyway :) ). But I'm reposting this from the original thread so people can reply. Is anyone having issues with Progressive? I don't have my CT yet, but...

    Changes on Non-Foundation Series (vs. Foundation Series Cybertruck)

    Agreed. I'm just hoping it will be … tolerable. I still say "Oh, Look! A Rivian" every time I see one. But I'm guessing I'm one of the few who still do.

    GEICO cancelling all Cybertruck insurance policies???? What????

    Is anyone having issues with Progressive? I don't have my CT yet, but plan on staying with Progressive as I have been with them for a VERY long time. (I think since 1999). I was happy to see Cybertruck was a selection when I checked to see how much more its insurance would be. I was VERY...

    Changes on Non-Foundation Series (vs. Foundation Series Cybertruck)

    There are three main reasons I did not get the Foundation Series: • Cost (more on this later) • I wanted to wait until there were more on the road. I don’t want my picture taken or to be gawked at everywhere I drive. • I wanted them to work out the bugs. I want FSD, and I...

    Car Mechanic Reviews The CyberTruck: Breakthrough or Super Gimmick?

    I could not get past the oversimplified ā€˜technical’ explanations of the heating system and the 48V electrical system. I stopped when he said ā€if resistance remains the same and you increase the voltage, you DECREASE the current.ā€ That is absolutely WRONG. I know what he was trying to say...

    Iphone charging, overheating the phone, possible cause?

    Question: When people say their phones are overheating, do they mean the phones just get pretty warm, or is a message popping up on the screen that says the phone has overheated and either stops charging, shuts down, or some other action? As stated, the problem with wireless charging is...

    Media Hype -Tesla Cuts $61,000 Base Cybertruck, Raises Prices On All Others And Says You Can Have One Right Now

    Not all media should be judged based on the actions of a single, small outlet that publishes a poor-quality article. That approach is akin to saying that because the Ford Pinto was a flawed car, all cars are bad. Thanks to the internet, we now have access to more news sources than ever before...

    The Awesome Sauce that is Steer by Wire (SBW)

    I can’t wait until unsupervised FSD comes and I can play beach buggy with the steering, acceleration and brake pedal while the ct takes me to work.

    Wisconsin Cyber Beast VIN assigned!šŸ™‚

    I live in Milwaukee. I also got the email invite to order my FS but I am not buying it just Yet. I did recently talk to a Tesla person in the Milwaukee SC. He said the paperwork must be signed in a state that allows Tesla sales. For people from Milwaukee, that’s typically Libertyville IL.
