No, but almost all of these features are optional so you could just turn them off.

Went to drive yesterday and had 8 error messages. Power steering didn’t work. Look at the size of this mouse!

How many wires did that little bastard chew? If they make a truck I hope they don't use flavourful wires on it.

These rabbits actually come from the city. They are out of control. I spread cat piss soaked litter on my parking stall. See if that helps.

All 3 wires to the plug were pretty bad. It was actually really accessible and easy to fix.
Also if you ever need to strip 26 gauge wire, just use a lighter and burn it off.
Truck is unveiled on Thursday at 7pm PST.

I didn't know what to think at first but I ordered a dual motor. Will charge my electric sled in the box.

Tesla Inc.’s highly anticipated unveiling of its futuristic pickup truck suffered a setback after its “armoured glass” windows shattered during a demonstration.
During a tightly choreographed unveiling of the Cybertruck on Thursday, Tesla boss Elon Musk criticized the design, power and durability of mainstream trucks, only to be shaken when his boast about his new truck’s windows backfired.
With a starting price of US$39,900, the Cybertruck’s futuristic, angular body in gunmetal grey resembles an armoured vehicle and takes aim at the heart of Detroit automakers’ profits.
Musk singled out the Ford F-150, the top-selling vehicle in the United States and Canada, to highlight the capabilities of the Cybertruck, showing an edited video of the two trucks in a back-to-back “tug-of-war” in which the Cybertruck takes off, dragging the F-150 behind it shortly after both trucks accelerate from starting position.

But the truck windows were not as resilient, cracking like spiderwebs when von Holzhausen threw metal balls at them.
The blunder overshadowed the launch, which was live-streamed from Los Angeles before a cheering crowd and made #cybertruck a trending word on Twitter.
“Oh my f–ing God, well, maybe that was a little too hard,” said Musk, looking with surprise at the cracked driver’s side window.
Still, he allowed the enthusiastic von Holzhausen another throw at the rear passenger window, only to see that crack as well.
Reactions on Twitter varied including some advice on product launch and planning.
“Never demonstrate something in a live audience, that you haven’t tried repeatedly backstage,” wrote @DrBenH, while @JustinParayno wrote “I see it as a positive because @elonmusk’s decision to test it live hopefully will cause @Tesla to be more cautious and make sure the sold Trucks will not crack.”
Others were more optimistic.
“I personally don’t care that the glass shattered any other vehicle’s glass would have broken down completely,” wrote @Kev112301, while @erikwray posted “There will be hiccups and they’ll get worked out. The #Tesla cars are amazing and only get better over time.”
Tesla plans to start manufacturing the truck around late 2021.

No grid tie solar system makes power during an outage. This is for the safety of the people repairing the problem.
