  1. 1st Off-Road trip in my Cybertruck - Takeaways & Experience

    Couldn't you have a plastic sheet large enough to cover the contents, secured by bungees or the like? It could double as a ground cloth if you're not too fussy, and keep the clean side toward the covered items. Unless you have enough water come in to actually have a puddle in there, I think...
  2. What is the best dog for CT?

    Dalmatians are the classic mascot for fire departments and also accompanying the Budweiser Clydesdales. They like to run and they're good with horses; originally they defended stagecoaches from highwaymen. And from when I saw the Bud wagon and horse team on historic Main Street in Annapolis a...
  3. Unplugged Performance Intro

    Roll out would be more convenient, but most convenient if built-in (could be powered even), except there doesn't look to be room at either front or back of roof panel. And simpler is often better, even if not as convenient. One could have a non-built-in roll out (and another one as a windshield...
  4. Unplugged Performance Intro

    Some cars with glass roofs (like a t-top) have opaque inserts that can be velcro'd in place. If that existed, matching the interior on the inside, and maybe reflective on the outside to keep heat out, it would solve the problem just fine, IMO. Relatively easy opportunity for aftermarket.
  5. Cybertruck rear ended by Ram truck. Stainless steel TKO 🥊

    Put some SuperDraco engines on there as an emergency escape system. Nothing quite like straight up as an escape vector.
  6. Wade Mode Test! Shows How Deep Cybertruck Can Drive in Water 😱

    I just posted a comment on the video asking for a followup comment for that and the other (so far) minor issues.
  7. Wade Mode Test! Shows How Deep Cybertruck Can Drive in Water 😱

    Good point. Even if I had to do that, I'd take it at maybe 5 MPH tops, not only to minimize the water flow but because I can't' see what might be hidden by the water. There might be rare spots where momentum would be helpful, but as heavy as a Cybertruck is, there's probably a fair bit of...
  8. Rust Spots/Corrosion is the Norm

    Stainless certainly can rust, just much more slowly than non-stainless. Getting wet should not be a problem, but staying wet can be - and salt water would tend to be worse. That includes non-obvious places that water gets into and stays. But in any reasonable amount of time that's only going to...
  9. First Cybertrucks in Tesla stores now! @ San Diego & San Jose first

    The German Technical Museum in Munich (amazing place!) used to have a stainless steel Porsche Turbo Carrera. You can bet it took a lot of labor, towels, and glass cleaner to keep it spotless!
  10. Tesla Prepares To Turn Heated Front Seats and Wipers Into Paid Features

    Neither am I, and except for a bottom-end vehicle where one can pay to enable extra features, I don't see the sense in it. But IBM has done that for years with its mainframes, called Capacity on Demand or something like that; pay extra (you pay by usage on them, not just for the machine...
  11. Cybertruck sighting with tonneau closed and bed lights on - 11/11/23 (@ Santa Cruz, CA)

    Might be tight for two, but one diagonally, head on the high end (nearer the cab) should have a tolerable amount of room unless they're quite tall, or insist on being totally straight and not curled up a bit. Not a first choice, but if there's a shortage of alternatives, it's better than all...
  12. Video: Cybertruck size compared vs. Model X (while hauling Christmas tree 🎄)

    The most hardcore greenies want people to all be low-tech zero-impact vegans, which is NOT scalable, meaning they want to be rid of a lot of people; not themselves, of course.
  13. ALL The States Where Cybertruck Has Been Seen Testing So Far!

    Alaska is interesting, given AFAIK only one supercharger in the state, not to mention limited battery performance in severe cold.
  14. Cybertruck sighting with tonneau closed and bed lights on - 11/11/23 (@ Santa Cruz, CA)

    I'm wondering if there's a way (without using the app) to open the tonneau cover from within the bed, not to mention whether there's some ventilation. Maintaining some sort of temperature in the bed when closed would be nice, but at least not suffocating if camping in there would be really good.
  15. Matte Black Cybertruck Finally Appears!! 😱 Driven by Franz Von Holzhausen

    The bare stainless if not polished is a bit gray as well as white metal color, neither as hot as black nor showing as much dirt as either black or white; different but not as showy as warp nacelle blue (metallic cyan that looks like it's glowing, my favorite) or ticket bait like candy apple red...
  16. Cybertruck with Smaller Street Tires + New Wheel Covers spotted [Video Added]

    Makes me think of bus wipers, that are not synchronized. Not horrible, but annoying.
  17. Cybertruck with Smaller Street Tires + New Wheel Covers spotted [Video Added]

    On that photo, one thing I think is ugly is that the hubcap has a seven-sided polygon pattern, but the tire has a nine-sided pattern. IMO if one is going to have a pattern on the tire, it should be the same as (and aligned with) that of the hubcap.
