Bancroft or Barcroft? Is that with the Eastbay astronomy club? I hear Kennedy Meadows is also really good. My big concern with visiting in August is the high likelihood of wildfire smoke ruining the seeing conditions even if you get minimal light pollution. Best check air quality and...

Found an easier way to haul my scope around

I'm 5'8" and I don't feel very comfortable sleeping in straight in the back, which is why I got the cybertent. I figure with the angle that might push you to 5'7 to 5'9 maybe 5'10' more comfortably.

I currently have a 3 step stool that I borrowed from a friend where the tallest step is about 26-28 inches which I found is perfect for the truck. What i don't like is the handle gets in the way of the truck. I'd prefer to find a stool whose handle doesn't block the tailgate so I can still put...

Good place to visit! My next target is Death Valley at Dantes Peak since I've discovered elevation makes a bigger difference in visibility compared to pure light pollution. Another major factor of course is all the wildfires can really obscure visbility. Looks like the nearest supercharger from...

Dry Cathode was necessary cost reduction for Tesla to offer the $59k Cybertruck, so I suspect all the standard AWD models have dry cathode, and I suspect the entire line of CT's is now using the new cells. As been mentioned I don't think there is any real performance difference between the...

My most recent trip to a darksite, I basically shut off all lighting unless absolutely necessary. Folks yelled at me since I got there pretty late at 9 PM, and learning to park the truck in pure starlight was quite the challenge. There is no lighting unless you absolutely need it during a star...

Definitely going to buy some CORE kitchen gear now after seeing all the options here. Only thing missing is a toilet (but plenty of portable ones around). Liking the hot water source + you can get 2x240 using this 14-50 dongle. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0B782DLPF

I got my truck primarily for camping / telescope activities. The old Model Y wasn't going to cut it for anything bigger than a 8" dobsonian.

As a recent owner of a cybertent as well, I've been looking around and saw this guy. https://overlandvehiclesystems.com/camp-cargo-box-kitchen-with-slide-out-sink-cooking-shelf-and-work-station/ One limitation of the above option compared to yours is no easy way to fit a faucet for the sink etc...

BTW this SUP pump been on my shopping cart for a while, but haven't bit on it yet. My main goal is space saving since I didn't realize I'd overload my truck so quickly but happens if you have a giant astronomy setup.

Wish the ports had 100W PD output capacity for my laptop. My laptop won't charge under 100W PD.

Battery drain would depend on how long you run it for. For reference, I have a 3.6 kW bosch tankless under sink point of use in my backyard BBQ. The one that he was running was probably 3-7 kW range as well. OP looks like he has a 6.5 kW tankless as well...

Looks significantly difference:

It's when you select a supercharger ,it should be around there.

*knock on steel* About 18 months ownership, 10,500 miles. None yet. After seeing the guy who was cut hard by the Rivian door, I try to be extremely careful around the truck especially doors and frunk. Can easily see it happening though.

I just finally ordered the real OEM one and just saw this. About $1000 less, but a few key differences I see. Black Material Rain cover is 100% removable providing more sunlight if desired and see the underlying airframe More storage pockets Bigger awning Not sure if it has more openings...

Weird why they don't offer it, probably to simplify logistics though.

I think they did a great job with $60k AWD model here vs. the terrible $70k RWD config. So compared to current AWD @ $80k. This is what the $20k extra "Premium" pays for - Air Suspension - Textile Seats / No Cooling - No heated steering wheel - No White Trim - Standard Console (vs. Premium) -...
