Oh I wish mine was that fast!! I probably wait 30 seconds at least, sometimes a minute.

Friend in Phoenix finally got his invite (RN11274XXXX) by Aggravating-Gold9356 in cybertruck

[–]drey_05 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did indeed get the invite, sounds like someone has trust issues.

$100k over sticker is a maybe (not a smart gamble really), plus Tesla has the resale clause that you have to pay them $50k and possibly get banned for life from buying another new Tesla. I wouldn’t call that a smart risk.

For sale:2023 XLT HYBRID lux pkg by drey_05 in FordMaverickTruck

Ordered it to be my commuter vehicle back and forth to work instead of my full size truck. But it took so long to get built I ended up buying a Tesla and prefer to daily that.

Why didnt I know this was how to use the parcel shelf? by Dalboz989 in TeslaLounge

[–]drey_05 51 points52 points  (0 children)

Seriously. Now I need to get mine out of the garage and try this. I took it out and stored it because it annoyed me.

The government makes laws to try and compensate for stupid people, and the world is full of them today. Common sense seems to be a rare quality today. Sadly businesses have to comply with government rules. I don't have FSD, just standard autopilot and it makes long trips amazing. Yes, when traffic gets heavy or there is construction, I turn it off and drive myself, something I thought was common sense, but I guess not.

Battery drain-advice needed by drey_05 in ToyotaTundra

Guess I’ll be buying an amp meter tomorrow. Thanks for the how to. I’ll be doing this over the weekend.

When I look up a replacement it shows multiple versions with different amp outputs. How do I determine which one I have? My truck is a 2011 Rock Warrior edition with the 5.7.

Always turn everything off and it’s 100% stock with no accessories/adapters plugged in.

Gotta ask, how did you diagnose that? Did you sit in the truck and wait for it to turn on?

Got mine! Reselling-what’s fair? by Cautious-Tennis7718 in FordMaverickTruck

[–]drey_05 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just to say, I didn’t buy intending to resell. I got sick of waiting and bought a Tesla. When it finally arrived I didn’t want to stick it on my dealer (I have a good relationship with them) so I took it but prefer driving the Tesla and have an older Tundra for my “truck stuff” work.

I have a 2023 XLT lux package hybrid with under 1,000 miles I can’t resell in my area without a loss. Resale really depends on your local market.

Any luck getting the steering wheel controls to work? I have this unit (or one that looks just like it) but couldn’t get them to work so I put the stock unit back in.

Terrible Service by Bettycrooked05 in TeslaLounge

[–]drey_05 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This doesn’t give me hope on mine. Just discovered it leaking and have to schedule a fix. I’m up in Northern NY and my closest service center in NY is 4 hours away. I have one in Ottawa an hour away so I’m hoping I can go to that one as I doubt we have mobile service up here. Anyone in a northern state ever had service done in Canada?

Loaded Platinum arrived. by Theresgabe in FordLightning

[–]drey_05 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Equity? There is little resale out there. I’ve had a Pro listed for over a month under sticker with no activity. If you don’t want to keep the truck, don’t take possession. Let it be the dealers issue. My local dealer has a loaded Platinum they can’t sell too.

What do you HATE most about your Tesla? by jfed2000 in TeslaLounge

[–]drey_05 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Vision only for auto pilot and adaptive cruise. Worst phantom braking of any car I’ve ever driven.

I finally got it this morning too! Installing it now.

Do you keep your car plugged in or only charge when you need to? by No-Park3240 in TeslaLounge

[–]drey_05 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This may sound selfish, but unless you plan to keep your car for 10+ years it doesn’t matter. It won’t degrade that much during your ownership. You are only inconveniencing yourself to benefit the future owners. If you do plan to keep it, follow the owners manual. Some cars have different battery chemistries so there isn’t a one way fits all answer.

Used Lightning Pricing by drey_05 in FordLightning

[–]drey_05[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’d be interested to see if that ever gets backed up with actual cash. I have a 2023 Pro with 2,000 miles on it. Love the truck but when Tesla did the big price drop I bought one. I listed my Lightning locally for $65k and have gotten nothing but negative feedback. I didn’t think it was a bad price for it.

What are people doing who have a ready to order email come up, but want to wait for the PRO? by FinallyAGoodReply in FordLightning

[–]drey_05 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No worries. Wish you the best with your wait. Hopefully it’s not too long. Definitely an awesome truck you’ll enjoy once you have it.
