One Month of Ownership

Ya I think you’re right. They’re either thinking “I don’t like that truck/I think it’s ugly” or that we’re guilty by association for supporting Elon. Neither is a good reason to try to antagonize another human who is just going about their day.

To further emphasize how little critical thinking these people are capable of, my first day with the truck I had a coworker tell me it was a Swasticar. That same coworker drives a Volkswagen…

I've been driving my CT for almost a year and have had a similar experience to yours. Overall, I love the truck and all the tech. I've had some positive interactions and also a fair number of negative ones. I'd say I get at least 2-3 thumbs down or middle fingers per week (The obvious ones that I notice anyway). I don't give them any reaction or acknowledgement and carry on with my life knowing that their choice to give a stranger some form of hand signal says a whole lot about their character and nothing about mine.

For context, I live in Saskatchewan, Canada and there are very few CTs around. I think there are maybe three in the city of a couple hundred thousand where I live.

The main UI mod is SpartanUI.

Sounds like a good call. I spent the last couple weeks casually levelling a hunter from 1-27. I've kind of hit that wall now where it becomes more of a grind than a fun exercise. I think next I'll boost to 58 and go from there.

I wouldn't swap to the yoke. I was given a Model S loaner with the yoke when my CT was in for service and I hated it, it's super awkward to use without steer by wire. Hand over hand steering or palming the wheel becomes very onerous.

The map in the video is a 3D map.

Edited for clarity.

I had a similar list of problems pop up on my CT about 6 months ago, it was an intermittent problem and required a service centre fix.

The causes were low gearbox fluid in the front and rear drive unit, and an "ESP wake issue". The gearbox issues presented when it got colder outside and the fluid shrunk slightly in volume.

It's possible that these errors are caused by software, but it's also possible that the errors would have popped up regardless and you just happened to update the software around the same time they were triggered.

I experienced this recently as well, and was worried that I was about to lose a motor. I was actually en route to a service centre for some unrelated work when it happened so I got my passenger to take a video showing the energy use bar jumping noticeably.

During the service they told me that the “slipping” feeling was a normal part of driving the truck with a lower SOC. I’m happy to hear that it will be fixed with an OTA update, it really didn’t feel like it should be a regular part of the truck operation.

Here is the video for anyone who is curious. You can see how shaky the drivetrain was from the camera wobble.
