    Cybertruck modular roof rack + bed rack w/ rooftop tent (RTT) - world's first?!

    I like the overall design. It needs to have a way to protect the plastic Vault rails from being scratched when it is installed.

    Convince me that the Gateway install should cost $6,000

    If they do that to me, I'm going to call bullshit. The second installer is a whopping 15 minutes further away (in the opposite direction).

    Convince me that the Gateway install should cost $6,000

    The line item for the circuit rework was reasonable ($750). The monolithic "Gateway/HPWC" install line item was $6k. I too am swapping the charger and adding the gateway next to the panel. If I can't get another installer, I doubt I will move forward with the current quote. Last ditch, I...

    Convince me that the Gateway install should cost $6,000

    I am actually trying to go down that road now. I found another installer than a CT owner has contracted with that had a much more reasonable price for install. I contacted them and they are trying to register the deal with Tesla now. I'll post when I have an update.

    Convince me that the Gateway install should cost $6,000

    I received a quote by a Tesla certified installer for $6,000 for just the installation of the "Tesla Whole Home Backup Gateway 3v installation". The quote also included the travel costs ($500) and reworking the existing panel to concentrate the critical circuits into one of the two 200A boxes...

    Roof rack options

    Another advantage to using a rack system that creates a level carrying surface: You will have more head space to be able to easily get into the vault, which for me is worth the potential range hit of not being as aerodynamic as a rack system that is parallel to the tonneau. I'm looking for a...

    CyberCRASH!! "OO7" Involved in CyberWreck!! DashCam to the Witness Stand!!

    This hits close to home. We just finished settling a claim where the other person was at fault and the timeline was ridiculous. The accident happened on the last day of August last year, our Tesla (Model Y) was drivable afterwards: the only damage was to the back bumper and bent the lift gate...

    Generation 1 HPWC not working with Cybertruck

    Be careful removing the cover, I sliced a few of my fingers on it trying to pry it open.

    Generation 1 HPWC not working with Cybertruck

    Thanks to Tesla, I have resolved the issue. The Gen 1 HPWC has dip switch settings to indicate the size of the breaker it is connected to. I have a 100A circuit installed (for my Model S 85D that has dual chargers that would allow it to charge up to 80A) and the dip switches were set for 100A...

    Pinch me - First week w/ CT in VA

    I also took delivery this past week (Monday) and have been loving it! Here's a shot from this weekend somewhere off the beaten path near Lexington, VA.

    Generation 1 HPWC not working with Cybertruck

    Has anyone seen this? We have a '15 S85D and a '23 MYLR that charge just fine on the charger I bought with the S. When I plug the CT in, the port immediately lights up red and there are errors on the screen about the charging hardware. I can use both mobile chargers (S and CT), but I'm only...

    LED Pod Ditch Lights have launched - New from T Sportline

    I would love to see an installation / operation video for these, thanks!

    Update: Aero Wheel Cover Recall reason = making contact with tire sidewall, wearing down rubber

    I love the look, but how "aero" is it? If it does not help increase range, I will probably pass.

    Cargo Net Installed in Vault

    This would also be useful if water does get into the vault and floor gets wet.

    Cybertruck Reservation Ready to Order Email (Mid-Atlantic)

    For reference: I ordered the AWD on Dec 26th (78 days ago) and no VIN has been assigned yet and the estimated delivery was Jan-March (which is definitely not happening now). From everything I've seen, we have not had a single CT delivered to VA yet. Unless they really ramp up production (AND...

    ClearVu rear camera washer for Cybertruck!

    There are some hydrophobic solutions on the market (and probably a CT specific one in the works).

    ClearVu rear camera washer for Cybertruck!

    It will be really useful if you take the CT off-road and have dirt splash the camera.

    Scroll wheels

    Make sure the steering wheel heater isn't on, maybe?
