I had my reservation last year and I’m thrilled to hit the road. While we wait for the official service guides, what are you all doing to keep up with maintenance? Let’s share our tips so we can start strong.

Honestly, I’m just focusing on keeping it clean, checking the pressures, and not driving like a maniac. Until the guides come out, I’m being easy on it and pretending that my future self will thank me for it.

I’m jotting down everything I notice, even the small stuff.
That way, when the service information comes out, I can look back and see if anything was off from the start.
It feels like I’m my own quality assurance team.

I’ve been checking out videos of other EV trucks being taken apart and picking up some general maintenance tips.
Maybe it’s a bit much, but it definitely makes the waiting part more enjoyable and keeps the nerves at bay.

I get that, I put together a little checklist on my phone.
I’m covering the basics: lights, brakes, tire pressure, and doing a quick scan with an app.
It’s simple, but at least I don’t feel like I’m completely lost

I’m doing my weekly check-in, just looking over the tires, fluids, and listening for any odd sounds. It might seem a bit silly, but it helps me feel closer to the truck while I wait for the official manuals.
