$59k Base Dual-Motor AWD Cybertruck Begin Delivery!

[CT_TX]

Looks great. I have a July date for PPF but It pains me to pay what there charging.

Agreed, which is why I was going to just DIY it - but for less than half the price with a tint - I couldn’t pass it up! I’d seen his work on Porsche’s and other high end cars so I went for it! after 2 weeks of cleaning smudges off the stainless I had to wrap it!

Choosing color was the hardest part

Agree. Color choice is the worst part.

@TarheelCT so what color did you end up with?
So far the fingerprints don’t seem to bother me a lot (lol, yes it does ). Well, not enough to get a $4000 wrap.
These are the ones I picked from @TWRAPS
1. Matte Mysterious Green
2. Matte Liquid Shadow Gold
3.Satin Meteorite Gray
4. Stealth Black
5. Matte Ghost Metallic Dark Green

Once the finger prints start to bother me, I might get a piece and try a DIY. Depending on how that goes, I might decide to do it all.

Can’t go wrong with black.

Maybe take a week off and go to @TWRAPS for a hands on tutorial.

I’ve got two cans of spray away on each side of the garage to hit those fingerprints.

Quick update.

Got it wrapped in “Stealth black” got a great deal on the labor from a buddy who does PPF for some of the big DFW dealerships.

I ordered the TWRAPS DIY kit with a code.

He charged me labor only, and tinted it.

Said the material didn’t feel as tacky as Xpel, so the edges were tougher to stick - but I’m very happy with the end product and the cost!

When I compare what Tesla was charging, what I paid for the DIY and the labor - it was half the cost! If you’re in the DFW area feel free to reach out to him and let him know I referred to get a good deal! He can do the entire wrap or you can bring a DIY kit. He also does just tinting too.

Just got these at Sam’s Club yesterday. Haven’t decided why I need it or how I plan to use it.

I got two business ideas. Too much or kinda cool?

1st day after delivery and I decided to apply protection to the tonneau cover and horizontal plastic covers as they were not looking brand new as they should. The HD tonneau cover easily held my 200 pounds when I had to climb on top to apply protectant. The official weight limit is 300 pounds from Tesla.

VRP is an excellent product. It made the tonneau slats, rubber seals and plastic bed covers look brand new. I highly recommend VRP after trying about a dozen competitors.

The SS is next. I plan a thorough spray down with IronX to remove all of the iron contamination from rail transport. Then it's going to be a thorough scrub down with Dawn dishwashing soap followed up by a BKF treatment using a non scratch cleaning pad.

During my 45 delivery inspection my keen eye noticed something on the front valance. Tesla is apparently welding 1 stud on each end of the valance to ensure a strong mount and avoid delamination. It's very similar to the new can-trails. Look carefully and you can see where it has been welded on the backside.

@Alpine how come all your posts in the last 3 weeks got deleted?

Paging @



Paging @DittoDan. How's your daughter like her $59k special? Any perspective from a FSCB owner you care to share?

She loves it so far. I think it gets better range than mine. We both followed each other from the SC, and my watts per mile were much higher than hers. I haven't rode in it yet, but will soon do.

Here is a pic of our CT's. The Unicorn/Rainbow is a pic Ai made, we will get that printed and put on her tailgate soon....

Delivery window back to 2027 for me today as well. Was saying August. Ordered morning of 2/21

I think Tesla is resetting this system for the end of the quarter. I think will all get new estimates next week that are not just ‘2027’
