@@MakaylaMunnerlyn 😎 Cool. Thanks

@@draako3516 if you have a service center nearby, yes, go there and order the unit. The other option is to contact your mobile technician and ask him to order the unit for you and possibly even deliver it to you at no extra cost. Or you can call a service center and order via phone, but they will charge you shipping to your house. In my case, I contacted the mobile service technician, and I met him close by when he was in the area to pick it up.

@@draako3516 Tesla has announced that they will eventually allow retail customers to order directly from their parts catalog. This may happen anytime or take another few months, but maybe check back in the EPC to see if it happened already.

@RMTFamily much appreciated! Also, great tutorial.

You are the dumb one. You can't leave the outlets exposed, door open, while driving in winter weather conditions. Water, snow, moisture would enter the outlets and trip the GFCI. This is a sealed door for a reason.

@ so you can’t us it while you driving?. Because if it gets wet it dose not work. mine works just fine if it gets wet

@ If the outlet stays dry you can, cover closed no rain etc. Obviously water and electricity don’t get along, you wouldn’t spray a power outlet with water on your house.

@@teddyandreyka9668 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

@@KeenEye Unfortunately most people always drive by themselves in a half ton truck, not even considering actually loading something in the truck or towing a trailer. The range is great without a weird load like I had here. Just like all other vehicles made, the Cybertruck works for 80+% of people even with this battery, which is unfortunate for us that actually put the truck to work.

@@RMTFamily yeah a truck doing truck stuff shouldn’t suffer that bad. Tesla really screwed up on this one in my opinion.

Awesome, you'll be ready for any weather!

Have not missed grab handles since we installed the running boards.

@@dennisschlieckau8723 The savings would be in using a used heater from somewhere, which in my case didn’t work as planned. VIN 645XX Yes would be interesting to know when they changed it, luckily the kit is only $15 or 16.

@ The fact that the housing was designed to accommodate the access cover makes me think the Supply chain wasn’t quite up to speed at time they were in “production hell”.

@ That sounds reasonable. I’m sure that was a very steep learning curve for Tesla. Even between the very first 3s delivered in late 2017 and early 2018 and ours produced in August 2018 they made several changes/improvements in production.

@@dburgette7577 I’m glad this helped. Under 4 hours is good. 👍. Great that you were able to get one from eBay, that helps a lot to save money.

@@derricksmith540 No, all you need to do is a software update. I believe now you can even request it in service mode.

@@jasonjohnston9647 Thank you. Your idea is great and will definitely work with these straps. Very much appreciate your comment. Finally someone that is educated and provides a real solution👍Even this truck has to earn its keep. If I could not put it to work I could not afford it either at this time. Hopefully the Cybertruck will follow the footsteps or tracks🤣of the other Teslas and go down in price over the next few years. Thank you 😊👍

Thank You👍. Since you said... yet! You should suggest a location where you think it would be good to have one for you in the future. Thank You for your Gardiner MT vote👍. There is one CCS charger in Gardiner at the gas station, but the Yellowstone Foundation has a couple Level 2 chargers next to their store where we usually park (when in Gardiner) and walk from there. The town is pretty small and easy to walk. Unfortunately in the summertime these Level 2's are either in use or ICE'd most of the time.

Don't play too much into the "yet" but you never know. I think first is a camper or motorhome upgrade. I would like to take more road trips in the Bolt and good to know I have v3+ supercharger options if needed. I have only went L3 4 times, one just to test the A2Z adapter so I'm mostly around town.

@ The Bolt is great, especially for daily driving that only requires home charging. Nothing wrong with upgrading your RV as you already have an EV😉👍

These have a severe snow rating, they have a three-peak mountain snowflake on the sidewall and are designed to provide traction in extreme winter. The last few days with snow, slush and ice they stuck way better than the Good Year tires that were on there. An all terrain tire is does great in warmer weather on many different surfaces, but doesn't handle winter weather like this one does. We have an extremely steep driveway to the upper part of our property, people usually park down below and walk up in the winter. Today again I drove up without any issues and back down at walking speed without slipping and sliding. Just a before I changed the tires the traction control would kick in going uphill and downhill I was crawling at a snails pace but it would still start to slide eventually all the way to the bottom.

Thanks for your reply and the great content, your model s videos have helped me and inspired me to work on my s at times. Beautiful area that you are at, I guess winter is a little bit of a trade of for that. So you have a few sets of wheels for winter and summer tires. Do you do this on all your Teslas now? I’m also curious your thoughts on rear wheel drive vs awd? You need it more than I do, but I’m thinking of getting awd on my next Tesla.

@ Yes we have two sets of wheels for our vehicles. I usually look for factory wheels on eBay and Craigslist. The Cybertruck wheels were take offs with no miles on it, but I had the winter tires put on. I had a very similar wheel purchase back in 2018 for the Model 3, those wheels had a couple hundred miles on it, but I also had winter tires put on those. For the Model S I purchased refurbished rims from a place that specializes in refurbishing rims for all makes and models. I installed the TPMS on those and then had winter tires put on. Our Model 3 is AWD and works great all year long. Our Model S is rear wheel drive and works just as great as the 3. Traction is given by the tires first and foremost. Traction is not just needed to keep going but even more to stop, especially in an emergency. Tires are key regardless of drive type. Tesla’s rear wheel drive vehicles are outstanding when it comes to traction control and keep you going in almost all situations, in very rare and extreme cases it may not keep up with the AWD. My wife has been driving the RWD S for a few winters now without any issues. I would not hesitate to purchase a rear wheel drive Tesla again. If we would talk ICE vehicles then the situation is different. The electric drive train allows for much better control and no loss of torque or power when traction control comes on. But in ICE vehicles the traction control takes the throttle away first, which drops the engine down to idle and there is no torque or power available with an ICE. So even as the vehicle gains traction again it may get stuck because the momentum is lost and not enough power is available to keep going. So in the case of an ICE vehicle AWD is beneficial as the same amount of engine power is split to four wheels instead of two, which means it is less likely to loose traction in the first place.

@ thanks again! I have a 14 S 60, my first Tesla. Love it, love the free supercharging. Fixed stuff here and there, your videos helped with the suspension work. Only problem is my range and my commute is over an hour a way. Been waiting to see if Tesla would offer free supercharging transfer again, to buy a new model Y. Also curious to see the refreshed Y and possibly consider a RWD cybertruck for the price, but I have a F150 that is great for all the towing and such that I need a truck for. With your wisdom I would consider a RWD model with an extra set of winter tires.

@ As the new Model Y comes closer to release it maybe worth waiting for. Not sure when the single motor Cybertruck will start production, that could be a while. I still have our Dodge 3500 as it can load and tow more than the CT. We basically only drive the trucks when needed, other than that we stick to the 3 and S. I think a Y would be a great option for you. Trucks are always more expensive to drive regardless of what type it is, ICE or EV. The Y is way more efficient and cheaper to run than any truck. It would be a great option for your daily drive and then some. I guess you could even spec it with a hitch and tow a small trailer instead of using your truck. Thank you for watching our videos 👍

@@morecareful8242 So you would leave the door open on a 300 mile drive in winter weather conditions, if you only need the power outlet half way for about an hour. Pointing out one thing that is flawed doesn’t one make a hater. Sounds like you are a hater of people that actually help improve future product.

@@benkanobe7500 Thank You 🙏

@@peteroffpist1621 you can’t just unhook one strap on certain loads as they’re tied down with multiple straps and have lots of tension on them. If you release just one strap the load can tip over, pop up or something. It’s not that easy.

@ then just make a hole and use a extension cord.

@@ucutzundergroundcutz7174 Need it half way during a road trip. Not really good to leave it open in winter weather while driving.

@@ChrisSladek-xf2wu 👍That sounds like a possibility. But I was actually looking for an easy way 😁😉 Thank you for watching and commenting 👍👍

@@rookierobertson3287 Same issue.

@@codifrancisco4351 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣You sure don’t know how useful these outlets are.

@RMTFamily hey a clown that does not buy a real truck would reply butt hurt much 🤣

You learned something new

@@dustinwilliams2556 I wonder why they would have thought that? Maybe because 90% of half ton trucks have only person in it and never carry a load 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
