You know way more than me about the cleaning stuff so I'd like to ask a serious question.

What will happen if I don't do jack squat and just drive the thing and run it through a car was once a year? (Cause that's what im kinda leaning toward :) )
HI @Alpine . Find someone with an old Napoleon grille that they don't put a cover on, and you'll get a good idea.😀 (But also, take a SS appliance wipe to that grille and see what happens!)
I live in New England (salty winter roads) and wash the truck about 3 to 4 times a year in temperate months. Coming out of the winter, it was your typical dirty, and, additionally had some deposits from the road treatments splashing onto the vehicle.
In late April I rinsed the truck and did a foaming car wash using the two-bucket method and microfiber towels. Truck was mostly clean but had surface contamination spots here and there and on the leading edges of the front fenders.
Then I applied Iron-X, a couple panels at a time, and it got off all but a couple of spots. Used Cerakote on the tires and the truck looked mint from 4 feet away. I had also bought Cyber Brite but decided to wait until after pollen season and a re-wash. Have not gotten to that yet. But I expect that after washing and Cyber Brite, having recently used Iron- X on it, it will look virtually brand new.
One other note. Last year I did Iron-X for the first time and used almost 2/3 of the bottle. This year I was able to do the whole truck with the remainder of the bottle, so either I got more efficient, or the original clean which included rail dust was a more involved process than subsequent ones.
Cheers!

Don't try this at home folks!! 😲

Not something I would do but this proves the truck is very capable. I'd say the 7500lb limit is low for a few reasons:

1) Tire rating. Those Goodyear "street" tires are not LT rated and are already at their max inflation at 50psi
2) Tesla needs a reason to promote the the Premium versions of the CT
3) It's a very safe and conservative tow rating for the coil suspension

No new VINs for almost 2 weeks and almost all VINs that were issued prior to that have been delivered. I wonder what this pause is about. 🤔
We Probably won't see anymore deliveries for a while since there are no VINs in the pipeline
Maybe they are focusing on higher-volume/higher-profit-margin units for quarter end.

Tesla may have one week off next week, traditional auto maker and first tier auto suppliers shut down production for two weeks during Jul.4 holidays.

Thats awesome Dan! Interesting to see the difference in "parked" height between the two.

Just curious, who is printing her tailgate vinyl? Most of the places I've looked don't have vinyl to fit the CT's tailgate dimensions.
I use Metro Restyling in Sterling Heights, MI. They are a huge distributor of wrap materials and they also install wraps. They have a graphics designer and can print anything you like.

Looking at the tracker data and estimated delivery windows, I'd say these folks are in the que next:

@fiveten
@Carnut12
@mx21

Hats off to you, sir! Keeping up with that spreadsheet can't be an easy task. Thanks for all the time and effort you put into maintaining it—it's genuinely appreciated by all of us.

Unfortunately, my status within the Tesla Assist AI has gone to "Your vehicle order is not showing in current inventory...for the most accurate delivery timeframe, check your Tesla app."

There have been two times in the last two weeks where it has given me a window, then immediately defaults back to pretending it doesn't know anything.

The first was late June window, then the last time was a July-August window.

But, I am stoked for anyone else to get their VIN...and by stoked, I mean sort of pissed but kind of happy for them.

Just seen on post on X where Herbert Ong just did an interview with Lars Moravy of Tesla who said there is going to be a big announcement on July 7 about things happening around Giga Texas as part of the "scaling effort” . Hopefully it will include something about getting all the Cybertruck orders out the door.
