I received one of these.....I cannot get it to float. Super difficult
I spent a good few hours practicing and couldn’t get it To levitate again. But then I just took it to work, put it on my desk and got it on the second try. Perhaps try again on a different surface?

Few hours? Thats crazy.

I am probably a full hour of attempts now and still have not got it. Multiple surfaces, multiple people have tried. I am very disappointed in the product.

Wonder what happens if there’s a power outage. Are they electromagnets? In which case you’ll see the room go dark and then a thump as your levitating cybertruck becomes a paperweight.
Loss of power is a non issue for me with a home 17kW backup generator. A lot easier than finding an open gas station during a power outage if you need gas.

I received my levitating cybertruck yesterday and after probably 2 hours total of attempts on multiple surfaces and multiple people trying, I cannot get it to levitate.
Does anyone have any tips or suggestions? It is quite frustrating that it is so difficult.

you're doing it wrong then, it is a skill you learn. You have to center it like you're adjusting cross hairs on a screen and it magically floats then.

A skill to learn? I have 2 hours in at this point of trying. Multiple people, multiple surfaces, I am not sure it is possible with mine. Maybe it is defective.

it's not defective. if takes a few times but eventually you get it. lower it slowly until the lights come one, and then do minor adjustments until you feel like its floating in the center.

Well, maybe it's defective. But your instructions sound helpful.

I made my own: $65 dollars, need to paint it to look better and match my 1:1.

First off, that’s sick that you made that! Secondly unless you were in TX like a month-6 weeks ago I saw a CT just like yours here.

It’s a Jedi skill. May the Force be with you.

This is bullsh*t. Either mine is defective or the product just doesn't work. Ive been trying for 2 days to get it to levitate. There is absolutely no point at which there is a balance point.

I highly doubt they intended for people to try for 2 whole days and still not be able to get it on there

I'm here to report back. I finally got it. And there was absolutely a different factor. I just went and decided to try it again, and I can say FOR CERTAIN that the product acted differently. I can now actually FEEL a point in the magnetism where it grabs. Almost like a dimple in the repelling force where you can set it down. You can feel that it does not want to pull away in any side, it wants to sit in the dimple. This was never there before the past 2 days I've been trying. Its been feeling like I can balance this thing on a needle point better than I can balance it on a magnet that insists on repelling no matter what.

Theres no "skill" involved in this shit. It literally didn't work before. And now I plugged it in, and it works.

This leads me to believe that at least some of them are defective, and vary in how they power up each time. I haven't taken it off to try it again, but if I did, I would unplug and replug over and over if I can feel that its not grabbing the way it should be. Because that is not how it should behave.

Moved it to the desired location. Same thing, had to replug to find the dimple point. One thing to note, bring it closer to the base than you think. And also, if the lights turn off, the base is off. It turns off automatically with too many failed attempts. It feels almost exactly the same as when its on, especially if you dont have that dimple point.
