Damn that looks better. You’ve inspired me

Did you happen to try the same stuff you used on the tonneau?

Great! I ran out of VRP protectant and had this laying around.

Confused. I thought CT59 said the Premium light bar was not swappable into a SAWD?

Yes. He said in the video it was not possible to swap to the PAWD light bar due to the truck bed sides being different without shelling out $$$.

Edit. Not the tailgate light bar

Some info:
RN127137..
Order date 2/20
Location: Houston, TX
Hx: July 15-mid-Aug delivery updated to “2027” a couple weeks ago.

One thing.. I upgraded to 20” wheels and feel like I’m the only one on the forum that did. I think it’s delaying my delivery date (although I have no real evidence of that). Is that possible?

What are the supposed downside (besides cost) to the 20”?

I stopped by the Tesla dealership to change my tires to the 20s and the rep told me it would reset my reservation. I think there was a disclaimer on the edit button

I stopped by the the Tesla dealership to change my tires to the 20s. He said it would reset my reservation. So no tires for me. Also they have no more info on your RN that the chatbot

The SC has no better idea of your delivery until a VIN is assigned and it’s in transit. The delivery manager told me that until it’s assigned, they have the same “made-up date” that the AI Tesla bot provides. I wouldn’t recommend relying on this information.

Financially your better off keeping the standard 18” wheels and picking up a like new set of 20” take offs. You could then sell your 18” steelies and tires.

You may not want to go to a 2” lower profile 20” tire after you experience the smooth ride with the standard 18” steelies and tires. The smooth ride in my $59k CT is probably my #2 favorite feature when behind the wheel after SBW and RWS. I prefer Relaxed and Chill for my personal settings.

I’m pretty sure that fb post is clickbaiting

You guys are confusing the bed light bar and the tailgate brake light bar.

The bed light bar can't be changed because its encased in a metal structure thus you would have to change that too to plug in the long light bar.

The tailgate light can be changed to pawd unit and it will work but there is some sort of notice that appears on your screen which will have to be programmed out if you don't want to see it.

What are the supposed downside (besides cost) to the 20”?

There is no real downside to 20's, just slightly different drive characteristics.

The 20" Core/Pirelli are the lightest combo at 78lbs which makes them the most responsive and controlled in compression/rebound reflexes.

The 18-inch steel/Goodyear are 88lbs and offer the most compliance and sidewall flex especially off-road and pressuring down for different terrain.

the 20" Cyber/AT are 93lbs. The wheels are heavier duty for offroad impacts

The 20" is going to give slighty better cornering due to stiffer sidewalls and the 18" is going to be slightly more compliant.

I prefer 18's for the cybertruck for esthetics, tire cost, road compliance.

 

[Mini2nut]

100% agree. Plus 18” replacement tires are less expensive.

Thanks for the tire discussion. I didn’t think through it enough, and am now wishing I had just ordered the 18”. No going back now it seems.

I called into my local SC to swap to the 18’s. He said it wouldn’t change my spot in line or lose my loyalty credit.

ordered with the 20’s and swapped once I saw the 18s in videos. They look better in videos than on the site.

 

[Mini2nut]

Good call!

I personally love the styling of the 18” steelies and the compliant ride characteristics. The 18" steel wheels look much better in person than they do in photos or videos.
