It is also my understanding that installing a disconnect “for code” is not really so you can quickly turn it off when things go wrong… it is so that someone working on it has line-of-sight assurance that the line is not energized.
That is also why some jurisdictions are apparently fine with you...
The installation manual for the Tesla Gen 3 charger specifically states that
FYI, the installation manual for the Tesla Gen 3 charger specifically states that “External disconnect switches are neither required nor recommended.”

Reading on this further, it looks like even IF the seat covers had notches on both sides, the typical design used for the notch would cause a slight delay in the deployment. This video does not make me feel all warm and fuzzy:
I wasn't aware that there was an airbag on BOTH sides of the driver's seat.
Guess that means that there are zero seat covers that will work for the CyberTruck?? All of the seat covers I have seen just have one notch (at best) for an airbag... never two.
I just went out and gave it a really good examination. My new 2025 has no foam like in the video. In addition, it looks like Tesla has redone their process. They are now doing something similar to what is in the video... however, the guy in the video is basically using a u-channel type...
That is crazy, I couldn't imagine getting fired over my car type. Especially since the political party of Tesla seems to have 180'd over the years.
The regulations are nuts. There was a startup named Locomation that failed last year in the autonomous trucking sector:
"Autonomous Relay Convoy"...
I wonder if this part of the vehicle's assembly, when in stalled to spec, works really well. But the actual process of installing it makes it very difficult to install to spec.
"Worn-out" foam strips is just silly when you are talking about a new vehicle. "A water test was conducted", lol...
I just went out and took a picture of mine. This is also what I noticed on several other new ones. It is a little hard to see from the picture, but the seal is not laying in there correctly. I haven't had it apart yet, but based on the video, it just seems like it takes some time to do...
My October build 2024 AWD was bone dry from the factory. My 2025 CB leaks like crazy. If I pour a cup of water, half the cup goes in the front of the bed, and the other half goes in the bottom of the bed. Same thing after the extra slat.
This foam strip? I can see mine is messed up too (and a lot of trucks that were in the lot as well). I asked them to fix it while they added my extra slat. You can see if it is not laying in the slot correctly. They never touched it. I didn't press them because I planned on fixing it...
1. Maybe, but still raises interesting concerns. If you don’t see that, perhaps you are more biased.
2. Sounds like your investing skills are right up there with your being objective skillset
3. Swell for you, I owned BOTH a 2024 and 2025… 2025 had more issues.
4. Are we dating forum police...
My initial concern was how I am eagerly awaiting the day when my windshield stops wiping for no reason and for my truck to stop hugging the line. I see articles like this: (5 months ago) that give me hope...
Weird. The truck is so advanced I wonder if at some point it self-configured itself into the correct position. Like it was positioned all the way to the left, but the system didn't think so causing the clicking noise.
My last truck had a couple weird quirks that also seemed to fix...
Tesla's apparent official version is "yes" it is the best version of leak fixing they offer. The real answer is it won't do anything leak-wise, will look better, and will keep debris from getting in your drain slot. They are taking the entire assembly out anyways, so adding an extra slat will...
I'd also have them give you your extra slat (assuming it is missing) while you are there. Note, however, if you add the slat, a bar will now be blocking your window when the tonneau is closed (not a huge deal since it is closed and you won't really be looking out through that glass).
See...
This is how they would replace your slats: https://service.tesla.com/docs/Cybertruck/ServiceManual/en-us/GUID-D62653D5-6BC1-4228-8CE6-3B3A214F14C2.html
I'd take it back for that. Make sure to take good pics and videos of the inside tailgate and vault area when dropping it off (in addition to all other parts of the car inside/outside). I don't think they really will be working on the inside of the car for this job. Any damage they do would...
I am not that picky either. In fact, I probably haven't had a car washed in 20 years.
When I got my car back I only noticed the gouge in my bed liner and the sail trim piece not pushed in all the way. No problem, I pushed it in and thought to myself "well luckily they only damages my cheap...
