Picking Up Our Cybertruck Tomorrow. What Should We Do First?

[theyoungblood]

None whatsoever. Technology is your friend. You can see out but not see in. XPEL is the good stuff!

Can I use 64GB of it for music?

Should be able to, google the video that shows you how to make the music folder

with summer here, a front windshield sun shade, better clear UV protecting tint if owned
of course mats, if you dont have any, Tuxmats or 3D are the best
for me, left and right magbak phone/display mounts
matte glass protection, front and rear
arm rest cover, seeing the front corners wearing on demos
center console drop in trays
cup holder inserts for spill protection
frunk net for minimizing movement of bags in front
Long CCS 400 kw CCS adapter for when you cannot get to a Tesla SC
(have your mobile charger with you always/14-50)
mud flaps, front and rear
behind front display shelf is great for glasses
spare tire kit if you intent on long road trips, drop tarp for being on the ground
if you haul, want to protect the bed, bed mat
research out of spec detailing, the stainless cleaning regime and supplies

of course Starlink mini mounted to the glass if you go off grid
front center floor bin if you pack stuff

I laugh because I lean pretty far to the right and the thing people on the right like to use against EVs is all the stories in the media about EVs catching on fire. They ignore all the ICE fires because they happen so frequently that they are not in the news?.

I just look at them with an incredulous look and say, "I didn't know anyone actually took those stories seriously".

Check the plugs in the truck inside and out. Ask to have mobile connector plugged in and verify it works. Drive away. Have fun.

Darn. Too late. I took delivery yesterday afternoon. It was a demo with 2,300 miles. I checked what I could and so far a creaking noise in the front driver door and somewhere in the rear of passenger compartment. I know this has to be one I took a test drive a few weeks ago. I told the Tesla rep when I dropped off the key card then but looks like they did nothing about it. They didn't exactly spend much time detailing it either inside. Kind of felt like I was picking up a rental car from Fox Car Rental. First thing I did when I got it home was clean and disinfect the inside.

Sounds like a great idea but I went to web site and looks like a lot of bad reviews. I don't know whether the bad reviews are all for version 1 or 2. It looks like they have a version 3 coming out in a few months so I might wait for that.

It’s, way too large. Looks terrible. Tossed mine out

Tinting the front windows with XPEL (the good stuff) was the best money spent. Less heat, more privacy and it makes the truck look really complete.

Everything else is less bang for the buck IMO.

Did the same. I like the consistency of the windows tinted on the side profile. Looks way better than having the front four windows clear and not tinted from the factory.

All my gates and garage doors use HomeLink. CT's MyQ doesn't support HomeLink. So I needed extra openers. Easy purchase from Amazon but still finding a place where the openers are accessible is a challenge.

A good location is the little spot on the door panel, below the unlock button...

Thank you, Koolio. Works just fine. Didn’t even realize that little shelf was there.At first, I thought how could the signal get through that stainless steel door but since it is ungrounded, maybe it even acts as an antenna instead of a shield? M

y openers are not triangular shaped so I opted for a Velcro approach.

I live in Nevada and they allow max of 35% on front side windows. I think the rear side windows are factory at 20%? To come close to matching would require maybe 25%.? Would that be obvious enough that I would have to worry about getting a ticket?

I just picked up mine also a demo and felt the same. Few things inside broken and stain on seats. Which they used a steam cleaner and maybe to hot since I see the marks. They used a power washer and made marks on the plastic items on the exterior. One hand I care other hand I don’t care as it’s an everyday work truck for me. Also it will be wrapped and then beat up for its life.
