Fell for a bait and switch….New Cybertruck owner

[crisante]

After watching countless viral videos of quality control issues, fingers getting smashed in the front trunk and FSD going crazy, I was reluctant. “It will never be a real truck” was playing over in my head.

Then, I drove it…my mind started wandering…

How could a truck this big have the turning radius of a Porsche?
How could a touchscreen be so Intuitive and user friendly?
How the hell did FSD just make turns, stop at stop signs and stop for pedestrians?
Wait…this bed doesn’t have wheel cutouts…it can’t be…a functional truck?

Then, my wife drove it…I was ready for her to say “no”. Instead, she said “I wanted to hate it. I’m kinda mad that I actually really love it”

A few days later, I’m a proud owner of a Cybertruck and couldn’t be happier. No vehicle is perfect, but for me this comes really damn close.

So yes, I fell for the negative publicity and criticism. I’m so glad I didn’t listen.

Similar, drove my wife’s model Y, loved it, had to test the CT and secretly hoped it was similar or worse than the MY. We have a MY and a CT now. Congrats!

Yep, almost fell for it myself.

A media wants so bad for it to be terrible, and they’ve brainwashed seemingly many millions of people into thinking it is.

On the one hand, you have non-owners / media bashing it.

On the other hand, you have people who have actually driven one believing it the best vehicle they’ve ever driven. Which is true?

As soon as you drive it, you know exactly who’s right.

shows your heart is warm & malleable enough to get rid off the hate & doubt.
Cybertruck's magic can only be unlocked with open mind & heart.
