My Cybertruck is Delivered Today January 11!! (non-employee) 👍 First Impressions + Photos 📸

[tmeyer3]

Firstly, CONGRATS!!!
A very subjective question, I realize, but I am looking for your opinion!

How different do the different suspension modes feel? Is it noticeable over, say, a speed bump? If you could use other cars for comparison that'd be greatly appreciated.

All one heard on this is that it has adaptive suspension, but I care about how adaptive based on passenger feel.

Ok, I drove for around 50 miles locally and here is some of my first impressions:

1. Overall Build quality: A- for a tesla, a few misaligned panels if you look closely, the right turn signal control is a little glitchy.

I was interested on this one. I was hoping they would get fixed once non-employees start getting it. I will probably get the same although the cyberbeast version is slated for Q3 delivery i think.

It seems to be about the same as a Y, tho the seat materials are a little harder, more like what you get in a S.

can you share how much Energy Consumption ......... Wh/mile driving in the city ?

So on the high setting (not extract mode) it is comparable to a 22 Tundra (you can fly through a speed bump). On the low setting it's still better than a Y. However I'm having trouble keeping the setting on High, it seems to automatically go to low after driving for a while, I'll have to mess with different settings a little more.

Haha correct, but it would be pretty tricky to change the domain and graphics so hopefully they will let us slide until we take delivery.

2. Handling: Loved the "squircle", though just a little small for my liking, I can comfortably relax both of my hands on top. Steering is extremely responsive, and the turn radius blew my 22 tundra away.

3. Acceleration: More than enough for me. The motor somehow feels louder during acceleration and regenerative braking than any tesla I've driven.

4. Attention from other drivers: Too much! Getting a window tint first thing tomorrow morning.

I took a few more photos, sorry about the poor lighting. May take a roadtrip to Sac/Tahoe during the long weekend and get a better feeling on this beauty.

Cheers! (Don't worry, won't drink and drive)

My Rivian R1T, at the highest setting will auto lower itself when speed reaches 45mph unless it's in off-road mode which then limits speed to 20mph...

According to some Tesla employees who own them you cannot drive "highway" speeds in high mode. It will auto adjust if you get above I think it was 10mph for off-road mode and like 25 something in high mode.

Mine is about 224inches. I don’t think I would be able fit the CT in the garage.

I have measured my garage like 10 times. Mine is 20ft in length.

Yea that sounds like a tight fit, I wish the high fidelity park assist come to CTs soon.

Do you mind me asking what your insurance cost is with Tesla Insurance? You said Geico was $100 more, and another won't insure it.

I've been trying to get quotes but the few places I've called so far won't insure it due to the quarter mile speed as weird as that is lol

It's also possible that it was going to another customer that declined delivery. Make sure you do an inspection to make sure there aren't any issues that would likely be a long time before it could be fixed.

My money is on that. Especially after seeing that one picture of the sail area panel next to the tonneau trim. That is HORRIBLE, and I would never had accepted it if it's as bad as it looks.

A-??? No, that's a D in my book.
