I broke both tabs on the Glare Shield despite knowing they break easily. I just pushed everything back together and ordered a new Glare Shield. It's still sitting in my closet. We're on a road trip now with 14.2.2.2. So far we've put 1100 miles on the truck and I drove about 5 of those...
I was getting continual warnings about the camera being obscured, so I gave it a shot.

More to the point, it's EV drivers that chew through tires. I have 8,000 miles on the OEM Pirellis and they have almost no tread wear.
FYIW, I replaced our Model Y OEM Continentals at 75k miles and they still had 5/32 tread left.
I just ordered a longer CCS adapter from EVBase. I have occasionally been using a Circle K CCS charger in a small Georgia town and want the same option for our brand new Cybertruck.
