Your factory tires are AT or AS? Thanks

Will have to check out the tires. We were in Kansas City, KS during their 'record breaking' 6" snow storm and we were out looking at houses all day. The most driving I have done in the snow with ZERO road lines visible, even on the interstate it was a 'path' through the white - all FSD...

I'm about due for tires - my stock Foundation series tires (Goodyear) have been excellent. Been in the snow, mud, and a ton of road driving and all around they have exceeded expectations by a huge margin. I'm at 36,000 miles with plenty of tread left, which is amazing for a truck this heavy. I...

At the risk of over dramatizing this, I think the savings are MUCH more. We are in for some big time inflation as the US prints it's way out of debt. My solar 10 years ago cost $13,000 AFTER incentives for 10KW and another $13K for 7kW. It's LONG paid for - it pays for my EV's and house for the...

If you are waiting for tech, you will never buy a Tesla. They move fast and furious with updates. For me, the CT was what I needed/wanted at the time and after 33,000 miles it's been the best, cheapest truck I have ever owned. Amazingly I was assuming tires would be replaced at 25K miles -...

I have MyQ which is built into the Tesla software - it does require a subscription but all the kids can access our house and us theirs (we have 5 kids so remotes are just not an option). Tesla family too so chargers everywhere. Each home shows up on a list with associated doors. If you don't...

Be sure you don't over react and jump ship. It's unlikely gas will stay this cheap. Also, have you considered solar? While I understand the upfront cost, the long term ownership (if you own a house and can stay in it) is through the roof efficient/cheap. I have 17kW solar installed many years...

That's too bad. 31,000 miles. Had a foam liner in a tire come loose - and I had my front camera on the windshield cleaned and re-sealed. My CT has been flawless other than those two things. I'm actually still on my first set of tires too, expecting at least 35,000 miles which I never expected...

It's just annoying to read these articles. The death of the Cybercab implied before it's even released. You can't make this garbage up. The truck is not selling well, but other manufactures have completely cancelled their EV's. Meanwhile EV sales continue to take a bigger percent of total car...

It's attached to the outer surface of the tire - it it comes loose, it can throw off your tire balance (I had one tire they removed all the foam because it separated from the tire). This was at 5K miles, I'm at 30K miles now with no problems. If you have it flaking off, it's a good thing you...

Your situation is unique - I did a post showing a survey where 25% of truck owners uses a trailer more than 2 times/year. You can Grok/Google the data. For those that regularly pull trailers, and large loads - I 100% agree with you, it's not there. That's why Tesla had the range extender - but...

Well, the user base would be quite small and the truck would be quite expensive. We are not there yet. I think there are plenty of use cases for EV trucks the way most use them. The data shows 2/3rds never pull a trailer. Other data suggests about 25% pull something more than ONE time a year...

If you are pulling boats/trailers yes. It's a problem. Otherwise I'm curious of your view. Just came across Wyoming a few weeks back in sub zero temps and 70MPH wind gusts. Range was 180 charged to 80% - over 200 if I needed it (with longer charge time). But to your point, glad I did not have a...

I agree - I have not seen or heard any reviews/reports/feedback suggesting to change from OEM tires. I'm at 26,000 and still have another 5-10k left. A lot of high speed highway driving (70-80MPH - western side of USA with high speed limits). If I get 30K out of these - happy. If I get 35K I...

I think speed makes a difference. Quite a bit. I'm rockin' down the highway at 80 and that does burn up those back tires. Even slow highway miles for me is 70 (that's in Missouri going to Lake of the Ozarks). I think I see how you can get 40K out of tires in the under 60ish speeds and not city...

Curious of your driving type - Hwy? City? Combination? I'm going to get at most 30K out of our tires - mostly highway. 70-80MPH (we drive in Western US a lot where speed limits are 80 and I'm going slow).

Your rear tires will wear much quicker. Tesla App tells you when, but really if you just look at your tires you will know when the back need to be moved to the front. Been doing this all my life so easy for me - if it seems like a burden, just follow Tesla's recommendations - 6k miles or so. I...

My biggest complaint with FSD is it does not slow down soon enough to SLOW DOWN the driver behind you. I got rear-ended 40 years ago. Never since. Why? Because I slow the driver down behind me by leaving a lot of distance between me and the car in front of me. FSD - especially with the CT -...

I was the same way. BUT, I'm a conservative driver that keeps way more distance between vehicles than other people. I would say FSD is more aggressive by a pretty big margin. It will deal with the situation if you let it.

Boundaries on the Cybertruck are NOT there yet. There are two places where I turn right off a divided highway that I curb check - it's about a 20% hit rate. Another turn off a 2 lane road, on to a divided 2 lane road - curb check - and comes VERY close to a sign. I do let auto park go...
