    Cybertruck Camping & Overlanding Accessories (from Tesla Takeover 2023 @ SLO California)

    Just wanted to make a thread to post pictures of some of the aftermarket camping solutions (not necessarily restricted to CT) that were on display at the Tesla Takeover. Will make a new post for each of the (4) products (there were several others like "camp boxes" for the Model S but didn't...

    Ford/GM/Superchargers... the ELEPHANT in the room......

    Other concerns aside... why is nobody talking about this? Supercharging spaces are already pretty tight and it can be difficult to open doors all the way even in Model 3. Most Tesla users are pretty considerate about that, but given the general inability in the general public (my opinion) to...

    How can this work? (Rube Goldberg charging setup!)

    Hey all... sorry , not specifically CT related but..... Getting ready for our first big "Supercharger road trip" through the southwest national parks. For two of our stays, we'll be off the beaten path from superchargers, so I've collected a bunch of adapters to plug into level 2 chargers...

    Could next gen model use in wheel hub motors?

    Srsly, if you're looking to reduce costs, what's better than eliminating most of the drivetrain? - At most you would have two motors, can probably get away with just one (most rear wheels drive ice cars really only applied power to one wheel) - The myth of "unsprung wheel weight" has been...

    FSD use at the factory?

    Every time I watch a vid of the Austin GF I'm amazed at the scale of logistics that must be required to just move those cars off the line and get them onto carriers for delivery. It has to be a huge labor cost,. Which got me to thinking.... why not use the FSD to have the cars drive themselves...

    Can't Tesla fund their own loans? (high interest, demand impact, etc)

    Was thinking (I know that's dangerous). If the higher interest rates are going to affect demand, doesn't Tesla have plenty of cash on hand to just finance loans at a lower rate? Rather than pairing with a bank (which is what they do now I think?). Are they regulated into having to stick to the...

    Rivian powers laser engraver at music festival

    At the (Castoro Cellars) whale rock music festival (benefit for my high school marching band). Miir has a booth engraving their mugs and bottles. Laser engraver is running off outlets on the Rivian

    Tesla should make a SS wall connector cover!

    There I said it. You can get them to match all the other Tesla colors, so would be cool to have one that matched the CT! Maybe I'll just get some spray paint.....

    Clarification on 4680 ramp up problems.....

    Just want to clarify if anyone has followed this more closely (can be fun trying to aggregate all the rumors). Is the problem with ramping up production on the 4680 solely a Tesla problem? Or is Panasonic having the same issues? Seems they keep inferring that they will just get more batteries...

    Austin Model Y ("Longhorn" edition?) spotted in California, Central Coast area

    took my nephew to see the elephant seals along Highway 1 today (just north of San Simeon/Hearst Castle) and look what we found in the parking lot! (VIN confirmed) Would have just assumed it was a Fremont Y, but the horns gave it away.... :cool:

    Whining about Austin celebration

    The only response I can think of is "Cry me a f***in river, Karen!" "I urge you to consider rejecting this permit and forcing Tesla to delay their celebration until they start treating the community of Eastern Travis County as more than a workforce for Elon Musk, but rather as neighbors and...

    How to interpret this "cold call" email from Tesla?

    So I got this both as a text message and an email today: ================= "Happy Sunday! This is XXXX from Tesla. You took delivery of a model 3 a few years back, I hope you're loving your car! would you be interested in getting a trade-in estimate to see the value of your car, a test drive...

    Let's talk L-track accessories!

    So, it's funny that one of the things I'm most excited about on the CT is the L-track. Instead of speculating on rumors about things, let's talk something concrete while we wait for the CT. What L-track parts will you order? What will be good to have? What is your favorite online site for...

    What SOC to keep tri-motor CT at?

    OK, so for just around town and Home Depot trips, I certainly don't need the full "500" miles of range (no, don't start with me on choice of CT motors). I'm perfectly good with the SR+ charging to 80% twice a week most of the time. So for the CT, Should I just let it run between 20 and 80%...

    Please make this a feature..... automatic vault opening on approach

    So you're shopping somewhere (groceries, Home Depot, doesn't matter). And after you check out, you're carrying a couple bags of stuff with your hands full, but it's no problem. As you get to the CT, it automatically detects your presence and and rolls up the "vault cover" for you. Why? Because...

    Stainless steel finish and the weather/elements

    So, been thinking about the CT "finish"... Attached is a picture of my relatively new Webber grill, in SS. It's been out in the (mild!) winter here in California (we are way down on rainfall totals this year) and I forgot to recover it a couple times for rain storms. Not sure the picture does...
