    Cybertruck Delivery Hold Until April 23 -- Tesla Dealership Associate

    My insurance company, USAA, allows me to put a vehicle into "storage", promising not to operate it, reducing the premium by about 60%. Yours may have something similar. The only catch - in my case - is that the minimum period for that situation is 30 days.

    I got my "Your Limited-Edition Foundation Series Cybertruck is Ready to Order, and Ordered It...

    Your transaction in 2020 established a reservation for a Cybertruck, not an order, and at that time the FS configuration didn’t exist. Eventually you will receive an offer by email to select trim and options, but with an early 2020 reservation I suspect that email won’t arrive for quite some...

    I got my "Your Limited-Edition Foundation Series Cybertruck is Ready to Order, and Ordered It...

    This is the main reason I may find the $12K expense worthwhile. That time is within the timeframe I usually keep a vehicle (which is also why I don't won't to wait more years for the truck.)

    I got my "Your Limited-Edition Foundation Series Cybertruck is Ready to Order, and Ordered It...

    I had decided back in December that ordering a Foundation Series CT did not make sense for me. An extra $20 for some badging, some trim and accessories that I didn't particularly want or could get for less from the aftermarket, FSD that seems like it will always be not-quite-ready, and the...

    Starlink installed INSIDE the Cybertruck

    Starlink transmission links between the satellite and ground use the KA and KU frequency bands - roughly, police radar and radar detector frequencies. Radar detectors (and Starlink antennas) work through the windshield because glass that isn't metallic coated is transparent to those frequencies...

    Hexis Matte Wasabi Green Cybertruck Wrap

    That burns my eys. I can only take very small looks and have to do that while looking at something that's bland, like a photo of a bowl of steamed rice....

    First impressions after my Cybertruck delivery: The Good & Bad (Maybe)

    I remember seeing a post with details from the owner's manual that showed the 120vac outlet in the bed is disabled when the vehicle is underway. Can someone check me on that?

    Rust Spots/Corrosion is the Norm

    That's not rust. Iron oxide (rust) is reddish brown. I believe those spots are some type of surface contamination that the dish soap wash didn't remove. Try a solvent, Goo Gone, or a commercial bug/tar remover on it. I've have great results removing surface contaminants from stainless steel...

    Rust Spots/Corrosion is the Norm

    Dang!!!!! It's a False Dilemma! I'm a sucker for those things because I'm woefully lacking critical-thinking skills. I guess I'll just have to cancel my reservation and spend that $100 on enough cheap beer to drown my sorrow....

    Rust Spots/Corrosion is the Norm

    We may never learn the exact alloy formulation, but we'll eventually learn how corrosion resistant it is. Tesla developed its own alloy, of 30x type stainless steel, likely the same alloy SpaceX is using in the Starship spacecraft. That alloy's actual composition isn't public knowledge, but...

    Installed 3D Changer Program. Any requests for renderings?

    I hit the "like" button, not because I like the mirror finish, but because you were able so accurately show what that would look like. (And also because you're taking the time to answer all these requests - kudos to you!)

    Squirkle steering wheel behavior when Cybertruck is sleeping.

    When he woke up the truck, the squirkle didn't reposition to direct ahead; it stopped at a position slightly counter-clockwise from centered, as seen in the screen capture below. I suspect the wheels were pointed slightly to the left when the truck was stopped and turned off. Then, when the...
