Curious around the rest of the country are people seeing a lot of the CTs wrapped? Here in SoCal probably 70% of the ones I see are wrapped.

The strangest wrap I saw today, was driving so no picture, the wrap emulated the bare stainless look. I’m guessing because all of the ones I see unwrapped one or more of the doors do not match the rest of the stainless, usually quite a bit darker.
75% of the CTs I have seen in the eastern Pennsylvania/Delaware/Maryland area are "au narturel".

“Truck” stuff

Wow, this is beyond stupid. Open the tailgate and lay them diagonal in the bed with 85% of the length supported, that's plenty. What is wrong with these people?

Your mistake was assuming that whoever owns this dumpster on wheels wasn’t an idiot.

To be fair, I see a shocking number of pickup drivers (all brands and models) who don’t seem to give any thought to positioning and securing cargo in the truck bed. I swear some people think the only force acting on their cargo is gravity. It’s like they think their truck bed is a magical place where there is no wind/air movement, bouncing from bumps, or forces from accelerating, braking, and cornering. :facepalm:

To be fair, the Rivian designers that selected that buttery plastic for our beds may have the same view on force diagrams.

Circling back to the thread topic, cybertruck beds are probably slippery too but we will never know because we have taste and their beds are full of spare batteries and tires.

They clearly bought the wrong EV truck.

Of course the last time I bought pipe, I stuffed inside our R1S with the lift gate closed

Phoenix Metro has a good amount. There’s a matte red in my neighborhood, yellow, green, glass and matte grey, matte black (the horror…in Phoenix! One is even a solar panel installer), white (one just wrapped the doors white), blue, gloss red with a monkey face on the back, some raw SS. No cyber-tundra wraps I’ve seen though

I’m afraid to ask what you are doing with all that conduit 🤔

Installing the 80A charger and then the rest of the V2H system. 95% done with the install now, overall it seems to work okay, but the real test will be summer time when the AC needs to run.

With all your EVs you could last longer than most!
