That's funny because I leased an R1T because my wife said "If you park one of those ugly Cybertrucks in our driveway, I'm moving out of this house." And she was NOT joking. So now I have a Rivian truck, which she thinks looks fine. Only had it for two weeks and it's pretty nice, but I really...

There's this one too.

I'm looking at leasing an R1T in lieu of getting the Cybertruck. Been watching the Out of Spec videos and thinking the R1T might be the better deal and has overall better ratings/reviews from those who have reviewed the two vehicles.... Plus, now the R1T has a Dog Mode equivalent feature.

Just get used to the natural beauty of it.

There is iron in the stainless steel, but if you passivate it, you'll take the iron away from the exterior surface and leave a concentrated chromium layer, so you won't get the iron (rust) specs from the stainless being exposed to the weather.. That being said, you can still get iron dust on it...

Should last quite a while. But it can be repeated again later. The passivation does two things... removes the free iron from the surface and leaves an (iron free) very thin concentrated chromium layer on the surface.

After the citric treatment, the stainless should be rinsed with deionized/distilled water and allowed to air dry. As simple/trivial as this sounds, it's an important part of the passivation process. You could make up your own citric passivation solution by dissolving some citric acid in warm...

Tesla is probably more focused on making profits, rather than spending time (money) on giving people "stuff" they have already paid for. If you pay for something, all up front, don't be surprised if the seller takes their sweet time delivering what you already paid for..... Some early Model S...

Car and Driver Review said that brake fade was concerning for the F-150 Lightning in their testing. Think the Rivian did much better. Would be interesting to see how the CT compares to them. https://www.musclecarsandtrucks.com/ford-f-150-lightning-brake-test-overheating/

Yes. Trucks have brake fade too. Can make a big difference, in stopping distance, after brakes get a little hot. And 60-0 braking distance is arguably more important that the 0-60 sprint time in a truck.

My experience is when you take your vehicle to the dealer/manufacturer's service center, for any kind of service/maintenance, it costs more than taking it to anybody else, unless it's under warranty.

I wonder why they are including and putting the hardware in the Cybertruck, but for the MY you have to purchase the hardware separately and have it installed? Seems strange.

Why not just paint it? You can paint stainless.

I wonder if you can put some butter on the frunk, and fry up some eggs on a hot sunny day?

The worst part is a lame weak part.

It looks weak, yes. Hope they improve that. The best part is a part that won't fail.

Plus the Foundation Series 20K Premium!!!

Yeah, but you got to realize that the Foundation Series R2s and R3s, which will be the only ones sold in the first Model Years, are going to cost 20K more, so that will help with their bottom line.

I've had three Teslas delivered. The last two, my M3 and MYP had some pretty bad paint issues. I brought them to a paint correction specialist instead of having someone at the SC, do the minimum they think they can get away with, to get me to accept the vehicle. They are not paint correction...
