Is that hitch able to be raised to any of the higher positions than shown here? It looks like the bumper would be in the way, or is there more clearance than there appears to be in the photo?

I Is the Reno hitch shank long enough to allow it to be used upside down as a rise hitch on the Cybertruck?

Was my earlier assumption correct? Does this *prevent* someone from aligning a Tesla incorrectly? Obviously they could misalign it, but does it force the proper steering wheel angle and suspension height, etc? Or could they avoid using the system and eyeball it? Quite interested to know how...

Did you have Tesla do it or a third party? I don’t know how it works exactly, but I had a bit of trouble finding a third party shop that was *capable* of doing a Tesla alignment. I don’t know if they were just blowing smoke to avoid working on a Tesla or not but they said something about not...

That’s a good theory I hadn’t considered before. My model 3 is an early one and I know it was manufactured THE first week Tesla hit 5,000 per week so I’m confident it was “rushed”. I couldn’t say what happened with the 2022 model y. We did have to wait over a year due to parts shortage in that...

I’ve owned two teslas, a model 3 and y, both came out of the factory with less than ideal wheel alignment. I have heard this is somewhat of a common thing with any manufacturer. The alignment from the factory is a general alignment rather than a precision one so they can push them out the door...

I would think it’s actually the opposite now that the seats are bolted to the battery. I expect that means the floor lining and seats and all associated wiring plus hvac ducting for floor outlets plus unknown other items all has to be removed and reinstalled just to replace a battery now while...

Might?

Not a battery expert but to my understanding, the creation process is the only part where it’s wet, so I would guess the weight isn’t noticeably different, but that’s purely a guess. Reducing weight is a valid point, which would increase efficiency, as long as it’s enough reduction to make a...

I would suspect this also means they have the possibility of improved range. The irreversible capacity loss from the first charge decreases about 5x according to the first post. That sounds like, if Tesla chose to keep the same amount of cells in a pack, that those cells would end up with more...

You’re completely right. I live in a rural area where 55mph country roads are the norm. This isn’t endlessly winding roads that a motorcycle would struggle with, it’s normal wide open roads with curves. Yes, pressing the accelerator will speed up but as soon as the car wants to slow down it does...

Like you said, it’s been a while so the exact details may be fuzzy, but I THINK I remember there being something I read back then that Tesla contacted the magazine to find out why their results were different from what Tesla themselves had seen in internal testing. The difference was multiple...

While the thread isn’t that long yet, I’m surprised no one has suggested BW or Andersen. My intention is to also tow a wake surf boat with my Cybertruck and am waiting to get a nicer adjustable hitch at that time. I have existing trailers that need different height hitches so I do want an...

In my particular case I live in a rural area where power tends to flicker on and off rapidly about 3-6 times before the power completely goes out. Sometimes it just flickers and then stays on. I don’t know the exact reason it happens on all occasions so it’s pure speculation, but storms...

If it’s plugged in to the charge port anyway, it’s possible they could keep the truck awake or partially awake only on PowerShare portions of the system and power could be provided from the grid so as to not drain the battery, but still allow instant transfer if grid power fails. This is pretty...

This seems like a logical compromise.

This also hinges on my earlier question, can the truck auto transfer instantly or not? All Teslas prior to Cybertruck have the high voltage battery disconnected from the charge port contacts via relay. This is for safety so no one can touch the charge port contacts and be electrocuted. When the...

I’m curious if the truck can power the house automatically during an outage so there is essentially no interruption in power if you don’t have solar or powerwall (like powerwall does to the best of my knowledge), or if it’s only a manual on/off thing.

I should have asked before are those highway miles or rural back roads?

What distance do you feel comfortable towing your boat and is it round trip or one way?
