I can't charge my Cybertruck from the 30A TT-30 outlet on my 120Vac generator (Westinghouse iGen4500DF). I'm able to do so on my Model Y with the same setup. I use a TT-30 to 14-50 adapter with my Tesla Mobile Charger. Everything looks good until it starts pulling amps and quickly stops...

Packing up the Cybertruck for a three day camping and off-road adventure in Arizona's Tonto National Forest. Here’s a complete list of what we are taking on this trip: Traction boards and shovel Bottle jack, lug wrench, tread and sidewall repair kits Air compressor & air down valves and...

I'm going off-roading in the Tonto National Forest next week with three overnight camping stays planned. Since flies and mosquitoes are likely to be a problem with water nearby (Roosevelt and Apache lakes), I needed a way to ventilate the vault when sleeping to keep the CO2 level down. I made...

On my recent off-road trip to the Swansea abandoned mining site, I ran into a group of off-roaders from Phoenix led by Brandon from Arizona Trek Overland (https://www.facebook.com/groups/arizonatrek). Nice group of enthusiasts who were very enthused to learn about Cybertruck.

It's classified "Moderate", but for a newbie off-roader like me it felt worse. The 11.2 mile loop included some steep rocky sections that put me to the test. The recent rains left muddy water filled holes all along the trail. Almost every vehicle on the trail was a UTV (Razors). Needless to...

I have the original Starlink Dishy McFlatface (the round one) that I want to use to connect to the internet in the back country. I have a Starlink Mobile subscription that I will 'Unpause' for 30 days when I go off road. It costs $150/month, but I can pause it when I don't need it. I modified...

:love: For those who haven't seen it. Of course it's more impressive in person.

Last weekend I took my new CT AWD on an off-road trip to the Swansea, AZ mining ghost town 30 miles west of Parker, AZ. The total mileage round trip from Lake Havasu City was 140 miles, 40 miles was rocky dirt roads/trails. I left with a 90% charge and returned home with 34% for a trip average...

Instead removing the rear window of my Cybertruck, and relying on cabin HVAC Camp Mode to heat/cool the vault for sleeping, I designed and built separate means of heating and cooling the vault using a BougeRV 2900 BTU heat pump resting on a Lexan panel inserted in the CT's tonneau cover tracks...

Cleaning the inside of the CT's windshield can be a challenge being as deeply recessed as it is. I improvised by wrapping a couple of micro fiber cloths around a window cleaning mop on a longish handle, held on by a couple of sprint clips. I spray Windex on the cloth and go to work. Any other...

I spent some time looking for an air mattress that fits the CT's bed which is 73" long and 51" wide. I didn't find anything. Luno makes a good air mattress for Tesla vehicles, but not for the Cybertruck as yet. Their 6 foot long truck bed mattress has wheel well cut outs which I didn't like...

I've notice that the battery charge on my CT is dropping a lot faster than I experience on my Model Y. Last night I charged to 50% finishing at midnight before going to bed. At 6 AM this morning the SOC was down to 48%, a loss of 1/3 % per hour or approx 0.4 kWh/hour. Sentry Mode is off, as is...

All cleaned up with BKF and Optimum No Rinse Wash & Shine. Now to get a pair of white driving gloves like Japanese chauffeurs wear.

I've been asked why I bought a Cybertruck. I have a Tesla Model Y as a daily driver with FSD, the Cybertruck barely fits in my garage, and there are other options for the utility of a pickup. It's a reasonable question. I plan to use my CT as an adventure vehicle to experience America's off...

I want to remove the rear window on my Cybertruck so that there's a way to cool the vault from the cabin HVAC (Camping Mode). It would also provide a pass-through from the vault to the cabin that would be useful when sleeping in the vault. I examined the way Tesla mounted the glass panel and...

This sounds like heresy, but is anyone planning to paint their Cybertruck? I'm not talking about wrapping with vinyl or PPF, but with good old fashioned primer and acrylic overcoats. Granted, it's an almost permanent process, so not to be undertaken lightly, but there are advantages to...
