I just hung it up, and pressure-washed it. Took a while to dry, but not awful at all, and could have been accelerated with a leaf blower if need be.

I was curious about this, and you're right. This graphic below shows it, courtesy of Sherwood.

Sigh. Our first S arrived in Feb 2013 (after we flew - FLEW - for a test drive in Miami as they weren't in Texas at that time). Had two more since, and an X. I always thought X would go first; as a car, it's batshit crazy with all it's wacky features, and we loved it, but it's not mainstream...

I guess it depends on how 'illegal' 😉 I didn't love Tesla's insurance and the safety score, because, given the depth of intel they actually have, it would penalize you way too much. Progressive/Snapshot doesn't like sudden accelerations or hard stops. the latter is avoidable most of the time...

Switched to them from Progressive (who were already by far the cheapest option for us) last month. Lemonade was about 30% cheaper than Progressive, and we just passed our first month; the spy algorithm reduced the premium by another couple of %. A couple of observations: Progressive uses...

Well, we have our XPEL Armor range, but yes, the OEM version is pretty bad. I think they've improved it (slightly) since I installed, but a junk product from an OEM, nothing like the renders on the website.

Not super grippy, but It provides more resistance than the naked (or Armored) truck bed. I was pleasantly surprised by it, it lays flat, provides some grip, but also not annoyingly so when loading stuff. The cheap floormat-style covers drive me mad with that, stuff snags on them all the time.

Totally normal, it's a very weedy bit of plastic, only there for aesthetics. They flop all over the place when not attached to the truck.

Hello all. Totally reminds me of this: We had one, briefly, but turns out if your dogs are arseholes, they get practically rabid inside the porthole whenever anything is nearby, and cover it in slobber and god knows what. Anyway. The side cameras are really easy to protect (not that they...

Yeah, it's always been an issue, at least for iPhone, which is normally Tesla's sweet spot. Like @Hammy60 said, this (and Waze) is where Carplay would be useful.

lol. Fair enough. I've asked about a white version, will hear back tomorrow.

I can do you a grey...the photo doesn't really show the color very well, it's lighter than it appears there, but not really close to white. I'll check, apparently I need to replenish the black ones too...

Exactly this. As someone that had their truck towed 4x, none of the tow drivers had ever worked on a Cybertruck. They also had about 7 teeth between them. Jumping it to see if you can reset things is the best way to go, it's a shame Tesla can't send rangers for this sort of thing, but they never...

No blood is a win, I'd get so mad when I hit my head on one of the corners, and double-mad when the blood inevitably appeared. So annoying!

No, there's been many, many well-documented electrical issues that 4 tows and many more SC visits were unable to solve. It got to the point where my wife just wouldn't drive it as she had no trust it would not break down, and although I'm more tolerant to that sort of thing, I felt the same. It...
