In the End, Only 2.5% of Cybertruck Reservation Holders Decided to Buy the Truck as Tesla Officially Finishes the Cybertruck Reservation List https://www.torquenews.com/11826/end-only-25-cybertruck-reservation-holders-decided-buy-truck-tesla-officially-finishes

Torque News

Tesla has officially ended the Cybertruck reservation program in the US, as the EV maker exhausted the entire reservation list. Ultimately, only 2.5% of Cybertruck reservation holders went ahead and bought the truck.

"Second car" because you'll still need one with better range if you want to drive more than 80 miles per charge

balmy egret
#

Nah Miata is the best second car

#

Leaf is too practical other than that it's a hybrid

#

Also it's Nissan: basically Japan's Ford

2025 model though

Mazda's modern infotainment system takes points away

faint wadi

It's just clunky, not something I'd want to use daily

It's still a fun car to drive but imo not worthy of primary car status

Isn't the f150 America's most favorite truck

faint wadi
#

Well it's the best selling truck for 47 years straight, and the best selling Ford vehicle of all time, so I think it's fair to call it the favorite truck

It's not even close

Elon touts it as watertight, meanwhile China literally made an ev that can traverse bodies of water at like 5 knots

For like, 30 minutes? It was the most stupid thing I'd heard but its kinda embarrassing for Tesla isn't it?

#

"Our car is totally waterproof!"
"Yeah our car is a boat for 30 minutes"

faint wadi
#

Even more embarrassing that Tesla were the ones that tried to claim the Cybertruck would be able to do exactly that, and act "briefly as a boat" promising a mod package to make that happen...

mighty gulch

Wheres that package, Tesla?

I was otw home yesterday so I needed fuel. I was wondering what was taking so long for this gas pump to refuel my car. Apparently I took the last of their 87 💀 (I always fill my take. It never costs more than $40 for me)

faint wadi
#

Uh oh. That means you got all the dregs at the bottom of the tank. Hope you clean your fuel filter regularly.

gloomy valve
balmy egret
#

crap

trim nacelle
#

@balmy egret remember that place, the moment you hear anything dodgy I'd be all over that

balmy egret
#

Bruh

#

Am I screwed?

trim nacelle
#

I would first go to a station and top it up with a new mix

#

The less it's constituent the better

#

Now it's not a common thing

#

But it's not uncommon either

#

To have the dregs of a tank as far as water goes

balmy egret
#

"New mix" what exactly do you mean? I normally put 87. Should I put something like 89 in it? It's at about half a tank of fuel rn

#

Should I just get gas tomorrow when I leave for work?

trim nacelle
#

Mix in new fuel

#

In case the "dregs" had not fuel in it

balmy egret
#

Gotcha. I'll probably just get fuel tomorrow before I go to work

trim nacelle
#

Ya cos then you'll have fresh fuel to mix in

#

So any odds of bad fuel is lower

#

Everything works to how pure the mix is

#

You could do 89 to try and improve it tbh

#

It won't offset water but it can offset a lower quality fuel that's sat in a tank for long enough

balmy egret
#

So I’m basically just diluting the bad fuel by refueling with fresh fuel?

trim nacelle
#

Yes

balmy egret
#

Gotcha

trim nacelle
#

Yes that's exactly the idea

#

When you go through a tight month you can do that every so often by having a light mix of lower octane (maybe $10)

balmy egret
#

I'll refuel tomorrow. Usually I refuel when I’m at a quarter of a tank but I guess I'll be doing at half a tank for at least a second lol

trim nacelle
#

The engines are rating to a certain octane

balmy egret
#

Yeah but 85 is rare where I am

trim nacelle
#

So if it's slightly off for a bit it won't kill it, just remember to mix in the proper type late

#

Fair

#

Just a counter side to the reasoning

#

Other side of the coin yanno

balmy egret
#

Lmao gotcha

#

So it has 87 in it now and it's at about half a tank. Should I mix with 89 or 91 or just stick with 87? Which would be better?

trim nacelle
#

If you notice anything though, bad breakdown anything, I'd be checking the tank for water

#

87 or 89

balmy egret
trim nacelle
#

You don't need higher than that for your rated engine

#

Eh, I'd say there's maybe a small benefit to 89

balmy egret
#

I figure lol but idk if it would've been better to mix octane levels for this potential issue

trim nacelle
#

Burns a bit cleaner

#

Octane is a rating of purity

#

Better purity = better burn

#

But I wouldn't consider it a necessity

#

87 is fine

balmy egret
#

Nah I’ve been running it with 87 since I’ve gotten it lol. It doesn't need anything more but it could take 85 if it had to

trim nacelle
#

Ah

#

If the Ron rating is 85, just stick with 87

balmy egret
#

The manual says to go with 87 if possible though

trim nacelle
#

Yeah just do 87 then

#

You can get better fuel economy with a higher octane, but if the manual doesn't mention it I wouldn't go higher

balmy egret
#

I might experiment with that next time I visit my gf

trim nacelle
#

Just mix up as much as possible the fuel in there rn to filter out as much as you can

#

Just in case it actually is dregs

#

I've seen broken cars from water in tanks 💀

#

It's a nasty surprise

#

After you've burned 60L or so (idk gallons) then you should be pretty much fine

balmy egret
#

Yeah I’m for sure gonna get more fuel tomorrow morning. I already had an expensive repair with this thing a couple months ago 💀

When I used to work in a gas up, I had a bloke walk in and I knew him, he said "Look at this" showed me a glass, of like, yellowy water

#

I didn't understand what it was

balmy egret
#

Idek our standard lol. Whatever can get us at least 300 miles of range

trim nacelle
#

I asked him "What am I looking at?"

balmy egret
#

Gas (liquid)

trim nacelle
#

He said "This is the fuel that blew my engine from the joint up the street"

#

Pointed at them

#

Pointed to the floating metal bits in the glass

#

And the water residue

#

I was blindsided af like "So what am I doing for you today then?"

balmy egret
#

Lmaooo

trim nacelle
#

Like why do I need to know the other place is a scam

#

Anyway never saw the guy again

#

But yeah it looked

#

NASTY

#

It's very hard to notice water in fuel

#

However the metal bits told me he'd had a baaadddd day

#

Lmfao

#

I learned to be weary of "dregs", some stations aren't good

#

Most however do proper filtering and weekly dip tests, at least here

#

So there should be no water or bad mix unless the tank has a leak

#

If it's just "old" fuel tho? You should be pretty ok

#

Just keep mixing for a clean burn

balmy egret
#

I mean it also pumped slowly. I figured it was out when I got in my car and noticed that it wasn't entirely full of fuel. I went further down the road to another gas station because I wanted to top off my tank lol

trim nacelle
#

Good yeah

#

Just keep brimming it off for a few days

#

Once you've reached about 1 tank's worth you can totally relax

balmy egret
#

bettt I'll keep doing that throughout the week

balmy egret
#

@trim nacelle it turns out that my boss doesn't need me today so I’m kinda just chilling at home. But about my car, should I go refuel it some time today or is it okay for it to sit for another day or two?

The Hennessey Venom 800 F-150 is a supercharged beast, packing 805 horsepower and 727 lb-ft of torque under the hood, thanks to a massive 3.0L twin-screw supercharger. This performance truck isn’t just about straight-line speed—it’s built to dominate the pavement, with an upgraded air induction system, high-flow fuel injectors, and a recalibrate...

Although the value of the Lexus LFA has gone up by six figures in less than 12 months, they didn’t sell well when they were new. So much so that in 2019, seven years after the end of the car’s production, US Lexus dealers sold three leftover brand new LFAs. But things have changed a lot since then. Suddenly everyone is figuring out what sensatio...

Oh it definitely is expensive but it's important it's done correctly

#

Is there a particular reason they need to be lapped?

wet lichen
#

No clue the miles

#

Idk how to check valves

remote salmon
#

Well the way I usually did it is after taking the heads off id put it on a flat surface with the valves closed and poured water into the recession on the combustion chamber

If valves leak water, they'll leak air = bad valve

I loved my 95, I could go trailing in it, never broke down on me except the transmission fell out

balmy egret
#

Man not the transmission just falling out

#

My Focus was fun at first. I started to get the nasty clutch shuddering of course. About a year in I took it in to have it diagnosed at a local shop we trust. He couldn't find the exact issue but he told us the battery was low

#

Knowing the battery was giving out a low voltage, I knew that replacing it would make it feel nicer to drive and not have it shudder as much. Sure enough, if helped

#

Its ABS module failed a few months ago. The guy who fixed it said that it needed a new clutch (ngl, I believed him. My father was gonna pay for the repair anyways lol). We had the new clutch fitted in, a new battery a month later (old one was super low for some reason). The transmission has never felt so nice

#

But then I got some weird engine vibration so I just decided to trade it in. Now I'm driving a Mk7.5 GTI

Sorry for the paragraphs lol

#

Yeah the guy my family takes their cars to is actually pretty trustworthy. My brother got his truck a year ago (two years ago?) and he's taken his truck there several times in a month. Not a single scam surprisingly lol

#

He'd take his truck in practically no issue (he thought something was wrong but nothing was wrong) and the guys there would be like "yeah there's no issue" and charge him an inexpensive diagnostics fee at the worst (which I think is like somewhere less than $100)

#

Not too bad lol

Fiat bought jeep, a foreign company, making American cars. They screwed it up

Fiat was always known for their bad transmissions BEFORE they bought jeep

#

Lemme tell you, my 95 ran out of transmission fluid completely, chugging up a hill and would keep rolling, I filled that sucker up and it didn't even feel like the transmission was ruined

That's a TRUE jeep

Chrysler did wonderful, Fiat killed it.

Yeah you aren't even cooked, straight up deep fried

How do I flush out the bad

In short, let it be for now then once the engine is back together keep doing coolant flushes until it's cleared out

Or you could have the block sent out to a shop to be hot tanked

Yeah

But if you want to do it right, sending it to a shop is your best bet

#

Head gaskets are never simple if the previous one blew

wet lichen
#

We parked it when the coolant boiled

So I think when the ports got completely blocked it blew through the headgasket, and also overheated the whole engine by not getting enough coolant through
