Share your most interesting accessory/mod/hack

Bro just get the plastic folded step stool ?. Weight is my biggest concern for every accessory on board.

Bro, it is 2.5 pounds and a hell of lot sturdier and safer than the "plastic" ones... skip the morning bagel and you'll be fine.

But morning bagels are delicious. And fellas, both are apparently rated for 300lbs. I personally like the aluminum one and ordered it

Ahh ok I was more curious how the sunglasses holder was mounted in that area. I guess share the link of the holder and I’m sure I can figure out the rest.

So in my case I have one of those electrochromic skylight thingys installed.
All I did was shove the sunglass clip between the alcantara of the skylight and alcantara of the window surround.
The back side of those clips is just a roughly 5 inch piece of malleable metal wrapped in “pleather?” so you can shape it however you need to get it wedged between the glass and surround. You can get way complicated here and put a magnetic door stop screwed to the roof trim and all that but this works really well, is quick to do and is easily reversible.
I used these because I already owned them:

If I was buying them strictly for this purpose up front I’d probably get these:

As a bonus, the kids really like having a personal sunglasses holder they can access from the back. The car seats are quite elevated (clek foonf) so they can reach them from the seat.

My 3 favorites so far are:
1) the screen swivel (medium PITA in install, but worth it)
2) the molle panels in the frunk / sail pillars in the Vault: I do a lot of work on a tree farm and having my axe, lopers and other accessories handy and organized speeds things along.
3) the center console floor organizer by Teslauch: I have to admit though: the edges of the storage box aren't terribly durable. It's great to have extra cup holders up front and the hidden storage is useful to help free up space in the upper center console (which I had chock full of stuff).

I have looked at the swivel screen several timss. It looks very cool. I like this feature in our x.
My reservations have been:
A) I really like the underscreen storage tray I installed in there. It’s one of the most useful things I’ve done to my truck. Seems like the swivel screen would destroy that. May also affect the position of my cabin camera-outsmarting magbak phone holder
B) The install videos I’ve watched look like it requires replacing arguably the most important electrical connector in the cabin with what looks like a $3 usb-c from TEMU and this made me more than a little uncomfortable. I also reasoned that if I ever had any kind of screen problem,, the highly motivated helpful folks at the SC (read in you best sarcastic voice) would be quick to blame the problem on said TEMU connector. I imagine that would get expensive despite the warranty since my experience with them has mostly been that they replace parts willy nilly rather than actually troubleshoot.
I’m not blaming them, they don’t have that kind of time built into the job description it seems. It’s just an observation.

Can anybody here talk me out of that logic? I’m genuinely interested in that thing.

A single strip of electrical tape across the gap between the glass roof and the aeroflap, from one side of the truck to the other, made my vault stay dry.

I'm going to either put windshield seal over it, or disassemble and put some weather stripping in there, but the electrical tape has lasted for months here in the PNW. Blends in, too. Nobody's noticed it.

Photo?

When I got into a Cybertruck for the first time ever, I immediately checked the fit by putting my hands on the steering squircle. Then the second and third and maybe even fourth thing I did was attempt to adjust the screen position... all the time wondering why the hell won't this damn thing tilt or swivel. It just never felt comfortable or right to me.

I was a very early adopter of the swivel screen retrofit. Yes, it is a bit of a pain to install but totally doable. The "drop" is inconsequential and not a problem. It is without a doubt the single biggest improvement I have made to the truck and to date my favorite aftermarket accessory. I use it every trip. Highly recommended! I can't comment on the tray since I don't have one.... when it was being developed a few of us reached out to the designer and asked if he could make sure it would work with the swivel screen, but it seems we were ignored.

(The only things I can imagine that would exceed the usefulness of the swivel adapter are a true rear view mirror camera that would allow one to actually see what is going on behind the vehicle, or maybe another 100 miles of range, lol!)

Good luck!

mine is actually 17.5 in height. Need more bagels to get taller.

Thanks for the thoughtful response. Have you had any issues with the screen since install?
I was just surprised how flimsy that one little usb-c connector looked in the video.
I imagined something much more substantial connecting the screen to the truck.
I guess it really doesn’t speak to reliability that much.

I have to say: I think the flimsiness of the cable depends on the provider. The swivel I purchased (Tesstudio) had a pretty hard core cable that had a rubberized connector that was really stiff and there is no way it will slip out as a result. I also concur regarding the screen drop, it hasn't been an issue. I have long arms so reaching the right edge of the screen wasn't a major issue for me before the swivel, but if you have shorter arms, it will definitely reduce the reach. +1 to the idea of replacing the rearview mirror with a camera display, the fact that Tesla didn't do that by default is probably my biggest disappointment with the CT so far (and it isn't something I lose sleep over). They also have the opportunity to provide a killer "top" view reverse view (look at the size of that screen!). Maybe they will give that as a setting in future software releases.

I have the s92 mirror by Tesstudio. Couldn’t recommend more highly. It’s hard to describe a cabin this big as claustrophobic but once you put one of these in it feels so much more open. Like a real car with a real rear window.
highly recommend.
It’s a pain in the ass device to install despite the various YouTube videos that make it sound easy but it’s absolutely worth it.

Most useful mod for me thus far is the CyBin...from Cybertruck Supply out of Florida. Hats, backpacks, tools, etc. Each bin is hand-crafted and uniquely numbered...just as special as the CT itself

It's a simple item but a great piece of mind when it comes to needing to use the 12V air pump or anything else that requires 12V.

Right on. Never even thought to carry one of those.

does anyone happen to have a write up on how to wire this up?

You'd need to ask @DeBergo
