In May I bought Quicksilver MY with the 19” black wheels. I love it

Great video, thank you very much

What size wheels are those John? 19 or 20s

Hmm, need to look around for large scale format 3d printing.

He has the wrong type of buffer, it is a graining in the stanless and you must refinish in the same manner as sanding wood going with the grain. A special buffer is available that buffs in the direction of the grain. Clearly he is not trained in stainless, he is using an orbital sander.

Tesla = 🌈🌈🌈

Thanks John for taking us back in time regarding the Tesla colors. Interesting to see the evolution.

CyberGrey? Mirror like finish. Thanks.

Personally I really like the Cherry Red. Any silver or grey of any shade is just never my choice.

Excellent 😊

The issue of arcing on 12v is the same as on 48v. Both can arc and in both cases can damage your main electrical system if not properly fused. Most likely though the line will be fused in which case i’t not that big a deal to just snip the line. 48v is not high voltage, it’s just more than 12v. 48v will not shock you unless you stick the wires in your mouth.

The best idea would be to run the thing into the nearest bog where some distant future anthropologist can find it and marvel at 21st century stupidity.

I unfortunately while cleaning my Cybertruck cleaned a couple spots with a 3M plastic scrub pad on one door panel. These spots are now too shiny and make the panel finish very uneven. Can I use this process to make the panel even again and back to its original finish?

Thank you.

Thank you. More!

I'm really curious to see behind the rear seats at the wall separating the interior from the vault. I've been wondering about maybe modifying it to at least have the glass come down to allow climate control for that bed space too. Would be dope to have the whole seat and wall fold down for full access to the vault from the inside.

So basically because the outer panels are so strong, all the damage during the collision is transferred to the vehicle shell underneath which is borderline unrepairable. You have yourself a disposable $100K truck.

Bulletproof, ah, get real

Are the structural batteries preventing Tesla frames from going out of line?

Oh wow, i should do that with my BBQ Grille

What a piece of crap.The Dodo of trucks

It's not an exoskeleton. It's just something Elon planted in peoples heads. Just like people think he founded Tesla and PayPal even though didn't.

Those panel gaps came from the factory.

Could you bolt on the highland headlights and front bumper onto the gen two?

Proof it can be done...but also that it probably isn't worth it due to the required labor costs.

You don't have to get into numbers, but is this a repair insurance will cover, is it classified as rebuilt, etc?

Throw that fridge out and get a proper vehicle like a petrol or diesel

I do not understand how these vehicles are allowed to be made and are passed for road use . This is wrong and should never be allowed to be made

Thank you for the great contents. I hate that I just see 💸💸💸 for this work

I spent about 6 months investigating EVs vs. hybrid, vs. ICE. I have not YET bought an Ocean but considering it, "sort of". What I did buy is a 2020 BMW i3s REX. With the state of, or horrible state of, commercial charging stations the REX, my opinion, was the way to go. I can get 170 miles per charge, assuming no huge elevations at 75mph with the AC blasting. AND, zero range anxiety. Example: My wife and I took a trip Phoenix to LA. 2 charging stations between, both Electrify America. This was 3 years ago when Electrify America was 24 cents/kWh now it's 54 or 56 cent/kWh so an ICE car that gets 30mpg is more economical vs. electric. 3 years ago coming back was an obstacle. The first Electrify America, of course 2 of the 6 were down, the 4 were full with a 3 car wait. I did hack the i3 so you can turn on the REX, scooter engine that runs on 2.2 gallons of gas that runs a generator to maintain the high voltage state of charge for 80 miles, I hacked it so it can be turned on at any state of charge below 75%. So, rather than wait in line I pressed the REX. Got to the next charging set of stations and 4 car wait. I topped off with gas and kept going to reach home. So, I have the pleasures of a pure EV with a backup system just in case. In fact, on any longer trips that burn through the electric, with the prices at Electrify America being outrageous and their lack of maintenance I just run it at 30% EV charge and click on the REX. Going uphill at 75 mph with the AC blasting it will loose about 7-8% battery level as the REX can't keep up, down hill regen gets it all back plus some extra. So, you have to be smart about it, and I am. As for the Ocean, I'm considering the risk vs, how much I like the looks and performance vs. current prices. Just still unsure.

With the back quarter panel removed and the doggie window actuator exposed it should be possible to get the current needed for the actuator and run a switch to bypass the need for using the FAST tool to recalibrate and run them with a switch to power them.

Amazing work, I'd love to know the cost of all that.

If the battery is scratched, insurance will have it replaced. Pretty sure on that. That plus the collision repair will render it totaled.

Cool

Wow 🙈🙈🙈

Great concise explanation 👏👏👏

Impeccable work!! 😍😍😍😍 I would have loved to see how you removed the estructural adhesive, as it must be really dificult 😅😅

No laser alignment jigs? Should be very cheap and quick to set up...

what's the line on the front fascia at 19:52

I'm very glad to see that you guys have the expertise and capabilities for doing very complex repairs like these. You really have to give it to Tesla probably Rivian for really having these repairs with the proper equipment. Thank you John for what you are doing for the EV community which is a huge deal. It's simply amazing looking at the end products and I'm sure your customers are very well pleased with your work. I'd love to visit you guys when you come to the Northern Virginia Area.

Darn, I wish you guys weren't 2,236 miles from where I live.

Thanks John for the great video using Celette Equipment

How is this a Model X... Doesn't a model X have Gull Wing doors?

The auto industry has to change to service the CyberTruck eh?

If you have to ask how much it costs to repair simple bump damage on a Cybertruck you can't afford one.

what is the point of cheap manufacturing if they cant sell outside the us and thus have such low sales that they cancel the singlemotor variant

slay

Use to fix this kind of thing by opening the door and climbing on it, a few bounces and all is aligned. Talk about making a mountain out of a mole hill.

'It shouldn't cost any more to repair' lol Everything about EV's is more expensive.
