nope. just using ill-fitting ones at the moment.

went from a mylr to a ctawd. insurance went DOWN for some reason. i was surprised. didn’t ask any questions.

drove for years with no front plate. in cali. still do with cybertruck. that said, i drive boring and i look boring. law abiding. cops would be bored to tears if they pulled me over. of course, now that i’ve posted this, i’ll get a ticket for it.

Yup, it's a different scale. Maybe EV trucks will take off, or maybe not. Most of those companies making EV trucks will be fine regardless. They'll keep supporting their vehicles for years to come. They won't go like Fisker. At least not soon. It seems like Rivian is in a bit of a dicy spot...

Yeah, it was high speed into a big tree. I hope they study the crash and share the data they find. If there might be ways they can further improve the safety, that's great. But there's only so much a vehicle can do. Colliding with a big tree at high speed or running off the road down an...

Maybe it's too long. I guess it can be summarized: The cybertruck is similar in size, weight, and price as other EV trucks. It's actually a bit more compact, and has a bit larger bed than the others. It has a ton of safety features. The electronics and software are excellent. It looks...

Cybertruck myth and reality Cut-and-paste / copypasta Feel free to correct, revise, elaborate, and/or ridicule any of this “It’s too big!” The Cybertruck is actually smaller than other electric pickups. Height matters when parking in garages with low ceilings. The Cybertruck ranges between 68.5...

I agree that the car isn't that delicate. Use whatever. I'm still getting the hang of cleaning it though. I've read the threads and suggestions here, bought several products, but it still seems like the windshield never gets clean enough for me. The stainless steel is never perfect for me...

Protecting the material on the headrest. Last Tesla I had did the bubbling thing on the headrest.

There are tons of seat covers-- I have one already. But I want to use the heating functions and I really only want to cover the headrest. Generic headrest covers don't fit nicely on the Cybertruck headrests. At least that I've found so far. Does anyone have any suggestions I should check out?

If it's a bit of oxidation, then making a thick paste with baking soda and rubbing the area with a microfiber cloth might help. It might be possible to remove it without changing the pattern in the stainless steel much.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Piranha_solution but only if you don't mind damaging the stainless steel another thought: dish soap + microfiber cloth (and/or a melamine sponge in the tough spots) But is that organic? Is it maybe a bit of oxidation?

Ugh. Sorry. Covered by warranty, I hope. It looks like a bit of a process. https://service.tesla.com/docs/Cybertruck/ServiceManual/en-us/GUID-8F133FA6-44FC-4D62-9BD3-03C92951B916.html

@Pops: Oh wow that looks great. I'm going to try that. Thanks! @Guy: Thats a beautiful interior. ...but not a pickup ...and covered in paint. Ick! ;)

@Pops: One is just in a booster seat at the moment. The lap thing is cute. I'll think about that. Lumbar support pillows, the ones that are just "backs" and nothing under you, are sort of what I'm thinking of. Maybe I should just try one and see how it goes. @Gaximus: The Model Y back seat...
