The foam weighs nothing, the tail light and the strap hook would have been a fine point, maybe it would have backed off. I would not test it either. Just do the stuff Rick is saying. My post is for people unfamiliar with the power gate, like me.
I did not go drive to see if it could flop closed on an actual bump. I had my wife put it in drive and I tested it. Maybe there is a lockout at speed, but you can’t open it when the truck is in drive but it will close while in drive. Maybe I’m just sensitive about it after finding out the tail...
I bought a single sheet of foam board for a project today and I strapped it down using the tail gate straps. I was extremely lucky I did not cause thousands of dollars in damage. I noticed the tail gate flapped when I left the parking lot but did not think much of it other than it might break...
I replaced my center speaker with a 100mm (4in from a 3/Y). IMHO the center is carrying A LOT. If you listen to the woofer in the door it has very little mid and only low. If you listen to the tweeter it’s only very high. The center speaker is the only mid. It needs to be a very good, very...
There is also the Rio Grande Village Campground RV park that is a few hundred feet from the Rio Grande and a few miles from Boquillas. We just did a trip in our Model Y and camped there in the car. You need an RV/camper or must sleep in the car (no tents). All the hook ups (about 20) had 50a...
No it doesn’t. Manual, Auto, Driver focused it does not matter. If it’s slightly cold (50ish) it will turn recirculation off every minute, and no it’s not fogging. Why would you want it off? 1). Because you are in traffic and behind cars with bad exhaust. 2) Because you have an EV and heating...
I’m using a 13 Pro. Most of the time it does not ask to connect to the phone, but the lag to connect to Carplay is about the same. The Tesla is always like that. As soon as you open the door it is on. I gave it no advantage. The AC is on, you can enter a destination. You can select songs from...
These tires made that go away. When you stop it does not rock back and forth, there is one dip then it levels. When you make sharp right turn it does not rock when you turn back straight. When you go over a bump it can jarr/rattle like a truck. It’s actually a bit too stiff now.
Actually my previous 2018 M3P was the most fun and my favorite car I’ve ever owned by far. You would not think the size difference between the 3 and Y is that big but it is huge. The 3 feels like you are wearing it, you have great visibility and your front view is of the fender haunches so you...
Pinch/zoom/drag/rotate is nice if you want to check for traffic or if the navigation is taking you on a rout you don’t want to go. The screen is 4x the resolution and it’s as responsive as a new ipad. Typing a destination or any map interaction is at current ipad speeds. Not having your phone...
Ok, I don’t get the sound system is better in the Lightning take. Either something is really wrong with my Lightning or something is really wrong with your Y. Or you have a tremendous aftermarket system in the Lightning. I just went out and played Jane at the loudest setting in both the Y and...
Because Tesla chargers are the only reliable ones. EA? 50/50 there will be a line and a tight spot for a truck. Anyone else? 70% more than half are offline. 50% chance they will de-rate or not connect. The last non-Telsa I tried had 50% off line and the one I used de-rared from 150kw to ONE kw...
Wouldn’t it be if you were touching a grounded metal box/appliance/tool connected on your house plugs (that was not separately GFCI protected) and also touched the truck while you were using the truck as a generator. You would be two unconnected grounds that were bonded to two unconnected...
13 Pro. It’s 1-2 tries on unlock. If it’s more than that I’ll bring Fordpass to the front. Then it’s 1. What was annoying was when I washed the truck, if I left my phone in my pocket it would constantly be locking, unlocking, presenting, retracting the side board if was working around the doors...
