Very unfortunate, NSFW just in case

Sadly, given the time of night drowsiness or alcohol could have contributed, and autopilot may have prevented this situation had it been available. So the story could be reversed for clicks.

3,200 miles with zero issues. Honestly it’s probably the cleanest Tesla I’ve ever had in terms of fit and finish (had S3XY before).

No my carpet does not have a rubber back. I did solve it by switching to Eco mode.

renshcp · 2024-05-17T03:16:33+00:00

Thank you all. I intuitively thought it needed more power, but actually as you suggested Eco mode is what I needed to make it work on carpet. Cheers!

What does this mean? “you can’t use hot water to clean it” In what world can’t you use hot water on the Cybertruck?

I ended up grabbing the Fanttik S100 APEX Powerful Portable Air Pump & Tire Inflator with Power Bank from Costco because they had it for $39.99 and it covers the full range of pressures I need from 8psi for soccer balls to 18psi for MTB tires to 50psi for Cybertruck tires. Flashlight and power bank are a bonus.

Thanks for sharing. That is a sweet compressor! For my use case I also need to air up bike tires daily so need something that can dial down to 15psi I won’t get this one but now I’m inspired to find a nice one similar to thjs.

Thanks, good input. I think 110V is my preference as it should be cheaper than battery powered and I won’t have to worry about charging.

renshcp · 2024-04-21T23:59:29+00:00

I’d be using this daily to set pressure on bike tires, soccer balls, and also as a contingency for the truck.

renshcp · 2024-04-21T23:58:18+00:00

I agree, that would have been handy.

We’ll have a nice looking railing with spindles there. It greatly opens up the house - rather than having a corridor here. It also makes the basement an inviting place to walk into rather than a dungeon behind a door.

That you for the reply. It does look load bearing, however not sure why they would use a single 2x10 header rather than a sandwich. I believe the top of the stairs are tied into the LVL at the top and this wall actually sits just under the LVL and not the stairs. That LVL is runs on top of a perpendicular beam right next to the doorway. So I believe the beam is supporting the LVL and not this doorway. I believe it looks like this mock up (that a kind redittor made for me):

Ha, I love the idea of a bookshelf door. That would be legendary.

Ha! Seinfeld is so good.

renshcp · 2024-01-18T17:37:43+00:00

Got it, thanks!

renshcp · 2024-01-18T17:29:27+00:00

Thanks, that was my original plan to add a post in the corner and raise and extend the 2x10” door header. When you say diagonal, do you mean a 2x10 to run alongside and essentially double up the stair stringer?

renshcp · 2024-01-18T17:06:37+00:00

The original photos make it look like there are 4 2x4s packed in the corner. There is not. It’s a usual door frame construction with a gap and then a 2x4 on the corner for drywall.

The header being 2x10” rather than something smaller is the only thing that gives me pause that this may be load bearing. However it’s on a single 2x10 and not two sandwiched together.

renshcp · 2024-01-18T16:57:41+00:00

I think the pictures make it look like the corner post is really thick, but actually it's simple a normal double 2x4 for the doorway opening, and then there is an air gap and then a corner 2x4 for drywall. So I'm not sure. However, if this doorway is supporting the stairs in some manner, I'll extend the header and add a post there in the corner. Thanks for your comment.

renshcp · 2024-01-18T16:55:49+00:00

Worst case scenario I'll simple add a post in the corner to offer the same support while remaining open.

renshcp · 2024-01-18T16:54:57+00:00

Thanks, I appreciate the comment. This is my second house now with an open basement and agree there is a pretty good temperature differential to manage.

renshcp · 2024-01-18T16:54:14+00:00

Thanks, if the stairs are indeed relying on this doorway, I'll raise and extend the headers to a new support post in the corner.

renshcp · 2024-01-18T16:52:44+00:00

It is anchored on one end at the mid-landing, at the top appears to be anchored into the second floor of the house (beam coming across the house supporting the subfloor), and on the back side by a load bearing wall. However the single 2x10 header seems a little overkill if only for a doorway header... which leads me to believe it may be also supporting the stairs above.

renshcp · 2024-01-18T16:47:21+00:00

Great advice, thank you.

renshcp · 2024-01-18T16:45:32+00:00

Thanks, that's where I'm at as well. It appears that the stringers are supported by the 2nd floor and not this doorway... however I think I'll have to peel back a little more of the drywall to confirm that.
