This test was conducted at a v3 Supercharger and resulted in the car’s battery level increasing from 4% to 27% in just 5 minutes. With the increased battery capacity, the owner was able to travel 83 miles in real-world conditions, which is quite impressive.
I really like the appearance at night. Perhaps I should consider doing the same to my Model Y. The accessory is priced at just $37 and the owner mentioned that the installation wasn’t too difficult, although he had to disassemble some panels to complete it.

During the investor call, Elon Musk mentioned that HW4 for FSD will launch with the Cybertruck. He also noted that offering upgrades from HW3 to HW4 will not be necessary as long as HW3 can surpass the safety of a human driver.

According to this vehicle owner, their 2018 Tesla Model 3 with all ultrasonic sensors disconnected is capable of displaying distances on the screen. It appears that Tesla is running this capability in “shadow mode,” likely using real-world data to train the neural network.

The highly anticipated Cybertruck is expected to commence production this summer and reach volume production in 2024. I am eagerly looking forward to seeing one of these vehicles in person!
