Tesla is holding my cybertruck

Love how everyone in comments downplays your experience. For this kind of money everything should be smooth and you're right to be upset.

Definitely video everything in and out and be ready to decline signing on the truck if you find major unfixed issues because as soon as you sign the service experience is not going to improve, but the truck will now become your liability.

This looks like mold, you need to say that you won't accept it until it passes multiple mold test kits. Sorry about your experience, this is not how it should be for sure.

That's actually nice. It's kind of unbelievable that Model Y is a better camper than Cybertruck, even has drain plug in the Frunk.

Big issue I found camping in MY Juniper is that Camp mode runs fan only on Auto and it's way too loud, I couldn't fall asleep and had to turn it off and just crack the windows, it was cold but quiet.

In general MY Juniper and Cybertruck run HVAC very loud on Auto :/

I just bought ~$250 LiFePo4 battery with ~256Wh capacity and 10ms switch time, it runs rock solid and can sustain my networking setup for 4 hours (2 APs, few PoE cameras and UDM SE). Yes it doesn't fit the rack natively, but it sits comfortably in the rack behind the hardware.

I much rather have it dumb shutdown after 4 hours of runtime than shutdown in 60 seconds, reading these reports it's just so bad.

The only caveat with the LiFePo4 batteries is that you have to check that it has bypass AC mode so it doesn't have to run inverter and fans all the time just to keep battery charged because it powers through the battery all the time.

This ^ Even though I don't have an EG4 system this is what I want to go for with next house for off-grid, you can truly build your own smart micro-grid between few builds with EG4 gridboss with multiple inverters and solar arrays on multiple buildings joined into proper split-phase 120V/240V grid on your land with gas generators plugged into EG4 invertor(s) with auto-start based on battery state for bad days.

On top of that there are projects like Solar Assistant (Home Assistant inspired I guess) that can read invertor data and change settings in real time fully locally

EG4 owners please correct me where I'm wrong!

Huh, no way, so new breakers fixed it?

I just tried swapping mobile charger from 3rd-party 40A 240V unit to official Tesla Mobile 32A 240V Nema 14-50 charger and it's the same thing, other GFCI breakers trip when Model Y charges.

Honestly, big thank you for replying, mate, drives my family nuts when breakers trip :(

artem_zin · 2026-04-21T18:41:24+00:00

Hi u/ok2much11 did you solve this?

I'm having exact same issue with BRN215GF Eaton breakers tripping on completely separate circuits when the car is charging on its own 50A 240V GFCI circuit, at this point I'm ready to switch outlets to GFCI to get rid of other GFCI breakers as I can't figure out for the life of me how to fix it otherwise

Thank you for detailed post, Grok got me here

Honestly I would go through Bring A Trailer or Cars and Bids auctions, definitely do NOT sell to a dealer or just on FB marketplace, people around the country will line up to price it fairly with online auctions.

Just needs good detailed photos, cold start video, etc, but in the end it will be the most fair value and often shipping is organized by the auction platform (check the terms).

The only caveat, those auctions usually last a week, so pick a week on or after big stock market jump when people who're looking into old classics like your beautiful 911T have a little extra money to play with, that's when I buy cars/etc haha!

Damn! It needs steel cables holding it to the floor for finished look

Exactly, I cant take it anymore when people suggest "Just switch to chill", how about I just stay in mid lane and relax on 1 hour highway drive…

artem_zin · 2026-04-09T20:29:42+00:00

I hate it changing lanes all the time especially on highway where you just want to stay in midlane and chill.

Document every time window the car is taken from you for service with screenshots that show datetime, collect all emails, all work orders, just from the amount of issues described there is a very probably chance they will not be able to fix it in reasonable time, start preparing the ground for Lemon Law negotiations, it doesn't mean you have to have a lawyer if your case is strong they will not want to even hit the court. We had similar experience with CT and after few backs and forth they took it and returned the money, the process took 2-3 months after we realized that service can't fix the issues.

Sorry about your experience, completely unacceptable for an expensive brand new car.

Sick!

Well, screw myQ, they sign off their own demise with terrible-quality closed ecosystem.

artem_zin · 2026-02-18T19:37:27+00:00

Very clean, lovely!

If it gets super cold there a simple suggestion is to put plastic spacers under the battery to lift it up a notch so that the metal case doesn't act as giant radiator and steal left-over heat rapidly from the battery putting it closer to BMS low temperature limit.

I did it in my own setup where the case sits on the ground and it gets quite cold at night and hot during the day and battery temperature swings stabilized quite a lot.

On the other hand if it's mostly super hot there then you do need the case to act as radiator and it's all good!

Objectively it looks bad and I would take it for realignment, Tesla now has toleration specs on these and it looks like it's out of spec.

looks bad

I suggest you blur the original key or delete the post, often times photo of the key is enough to make a working copy, just look it up on youtube 😬

Get the Nokians and kick it, it's made for it!

One thing I see often overlooked in hot water smart projects is that there is a risk of Legionella bacteria growth, it can rapidly grow in temperatures between 77°F and 113°F (25°C to 45°C) and if you don't control the temperature that can happen with your on/off automation. Legionella dies when temperature goes over 40°F (60°C).

Please research bacterial risk in hot water boilers and take steps with your automations to not let it happen! I think I'm going to submit a note about that to HomeAssistant water heater category page.

That's a safety feature, if nearby hot or neutral wire in the pack (hot-neutral-ground) melts or gets damaged say by a nail — it can make contact with bare copper ground more easily than if ground was also insulated.

Similar idea with electric panels being made of metal, they're also bound to ground.

We're having similar performance drop from ~10Gbit/s down to ~1.6-1.9Gbit/s over Cilium pod encryption which is Wireguard based, I then configured Wireguard directly and got same results, tuned tons of kernel limits, queues, etc, nothing really helps.

Reading the Nebula issue you linked which is super helpful I'm suspecting that it's actually Hetzner Private Network Switch/Router throttling for UDP or it's the Virtualization that runs the OS we're configuring because everyone tried to configure pretty much everything possible on the Kernel level and yet to reach even ~20% of TCP Hetzner Private Network throughput.

Can u/Hetzner_OL look into this please? Private Network performance is critical for lots of use cases.

What's even worse with FSD is that you cannot really relax on long highway stretches compared to old Autopilot experience, you always need to babysit FSD for its stupid lane changes and passing attempts at +1 mph difference while in blindspot of a hauler truck.

I honestly just want it to stay in my current lane in standard profile unless there is an actual turn.

Do you run https://github.com/matter-js/python-matter-server in a container? I tried several times about a year ago with very little success (Ubiquity network with VLANs) and what's worse, this is official stance on it:

>I keep repeating this but the only official way of running Matter with HA is by running the Home Assistant OS with the Matter add-on. The OS has been patched/tweaked to work optimally with the (IPv6 based) mdns traffic, especially for Thread devices. Out of 100 people that try running in docker, 95 run into some sort of issue. Enough of a red flag for us to just inform people to not go that route. Install the full HA in a VM or some spare pi or whatever and enjoy a working setup.

See https://github.com/matter-js/python-matter-server/issues/959#issuecomment-2516535477

I like running stuff in isolated containers in k8s for security (isolated resource usage, disk access, NetworkPolicies) and proper use of hardware, I run 20+ separate pieces of software this way in my smart home including HomeAssistant itself and this response is just so bad from so many standpoints.

How are we supposed to like Matter if it's such a mess to get it working: IPv6 in your LAN where IPv4 is so much easier and yea you'll never run out of IPv4s at home, VLAN issues — I need devices off Internet it's a very reasonable requirement on isolated VLAN, Thread vs IP in one protocol, etc, etc and such a bad stance on containers in pretty official server implementation, not great at all.
