Yeah the truck is the only thing I hear much about… Never seen one broke down or on a tow truck yet…
As time goes on, I see more of them in my area. Go figure (I can’t). I also see a ton of Model 3s and ten tons of Model Ys.
I see plenty of them in my area, just not broke down or on the back of toe trucks… lol
I have now seen close to 10 Cyber Trucks, different colors/shades (wraps) and this one was pretty cool looking..
The one above was neat watching the lady put a wheel chair in the bed and it closing all back up, took her a couple of tries with the “buttons” or whatever opened and closed everything…
At least the colored (wraps) ones and the ones wrapped for a business looks much better than the plain ones…
I’ve actually observed the opposite. A few years ago, Model 3s began increasing in my area to an incredible extent. In and around Princeton, I sometimes thought that they had become the dominant vehicle because there were so many of them.
But, over the last 4 or 5 months, I have not been seeing very many of them. Yes, they are still around, but the number of them seems to have been sharply reduced.
Where did they go? I’m guessing that people traded for a different make/model.
Meanwhile, at Quakerbridge Mall–which has seen better days–one of their parking lots has a growing number of new Teslas. (There is a Tesla dealership just across Rt. 1 from that mall) When I first noticed that Teslas were being stored there, my estimate was that they probably numbered ~75.
When I last drove past, the number of new Teslas in that lot had to be more than 400. Quite a few are Cybertrucks, but all of Teslas models are represented in that conglomeration.
Wrong, nothing can make those things look better . And if a business has one they are not going to get my business.

I NEVER said they looked good, just better… lol
Why, because it’s a Tesla or because it is a fugly Cybertruck??
So you are basically saying that if the store or food place that you visit and love going to did NOTHING else but ad a Cybertruck for advertising that you would stop using that store or shop??
Well I’d like to think I am adult enough to not care what a Business uses as a promotional vehicle.. I mean I still eat Oscar Mayer Hot Dogs even though they use a Hot Dog wienermobile for advertising…
The design on that truck and it being a Cybertruck showed off the business pretty well, it got my attention…As well as the wienermobile still does…
Don’t get me wrong, they are very trucks no matter what, but just like anything, change something about it and it can look better, but again just because something looks better doesn’t mean it looks good, it just goes from a 1 to a 3… lol
I hate the way the new Bronco looks (I see one everyday across the street) in stock form, but add some 33-35" tires and custom wheels sticking out of the fenders a little, and they look pretty good…
There are two types. One type relies on adhesive to hold it in place. The other type snaps into place and does not require any adhesive. The reason they don’t come with a new car is that they create a little drag.
Mine are in-channel AVS and pretty low profile, very little drag, and I have Never heard of them affecting any of the Tacoma’s MPG average…
AVS does make a Low Profile vent shade that is flat almost against the glass… lol
I was at the doctors today with a feels like/heat index of 102 degrees, no shade, I had my windows (all 4) lowered even with the vent visors and even after sitting in the very humid heat for 1.5 hours, it was not much hotter inside (if any) as it was outside, dang well worth the money (under $100, $64.99 right now on Amazon)…
I also have Factory tint (about 25% VLT dyed glass) on the 3 back windows and I think 35% tint on the fronts (which is as legally close to the rears as possible (the rears are a tad darker), nothing for the windshield…
My sweatometer didn’t notice much difference in cabin vs outside… And I HATE the heat… lol
I guess unless someone has tried a particular brand on another Venza, I won’t know how well it fits that car. I have tried both adhesive and pressure fit types, of the brands I found in local parts stores - neither worked for more than a day or two. But perhaps this is indeed the wrong forum - I should post the problem to a Venza forum.
The surface must be prepped before installation. I have installed window vents for customers and never had a complaint.
My AVS rain guards are adhesive (3M) and you have to scotch pad the rubber, then use alcohol pads to clean them, and then install them, then WAIT 72 hours before rolling your windows down… It is all in the prep work…
My advise is go to Amazon and find the Amazon’s Choice or at least a set that has thousands of 4+ stars, my AVS (Auto Ventshade) has 8,049 4.5 stars from customer reviews…
Or go to a pro shop that sells and installs custom stuff and let them install them correctly…
