Fell for a bait and switch….New Cybertruck owner

[Wonderful]

You mean better turning radius than a porsche. Sold my 911 and Macan because the truck is just better. I mean I do miss the curvy roads in the 911 or the R8 though... Midlife crisis is here so I might get back into one of those again just for the fun curvy roads.

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”

You are screwed. Thats how it went for me and now it's my wife's primary car. She lets me drive it sometimes....

DO NOT DRIVE A CYBERTRUCK - unless you plan on buying one!
Congrats for having a great truck and open mind.

I am already a CT for life guy.. My next truck when my current AWD meets the recycler, will be a long range.

Cloth seats, fewer components that can break, more range. That is what I really wanted in a truck... Just hope it doesn't get discontinued...

Only 3 middle fingers so far

funny thing. the very few middle fingers I've seen are always from purple haired mentally ill nose ringed crazies.

I test drove one in January and told myself I wouldn't buy it... About a week later I had it ordered... Even if you think you have self control you fold after that test drive really sinks in...

569 miles. 3.5 days of ownership. I’ve only received positive feedback. No fingers that I’ve seen at least. It’s totally where you’re located in the world. Everyone looks at it in parking lots and while driving. It breaks necks for sure lol

Yeah….I realized that as soon as we got it home…

So true. Yesterday a dad was driving by with his son while I was messing around with the light shows in driveway. Seeing the kids face light up getting to see it makes up for it.

2 of mine were also driving a Prius

Yeah I bought the truck a year ago. And it ruined my Porsche... Steer by wire ftw.

Yeah my Lexus SC430 is a backup nostalgia ride now. Even as a convertible. The Roadster will be my endgame one last time before terminator .

I’m trying this out in November with my 718S. What kind of range did you get? And city of Highway? Thanks.

I didn't get enough miles to have a true test. This was a fun thing I did for a local cars and coffee where I wanted to pull up with a car that enthusiasts revere.

I also made coffee in the back of the truck, a true cars and coffee haha

Very nice! How many 2x6 boards did you use to load up the Spyder? If your Spyder can go up a U-Haul I know my cayman s can for sure too. I do have SPASM. I think the Spyder should be the same distance off the ground if I’m not mistaken. I could be wrong and yours could be lower than mine.

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?

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.

Welcome Man! People still hating all over the place. Haven't had a motorcycle flip me off yet but have seen plenty of videos. People also are either afraid to pull up all the way next to you are just can't bear to see the person driving it lol. Only had a hand full of curious people drop their window to ask about it.

I wondered if I would be disappointed. My CT is the best vehicle ever made. Can't believe I almost fell for all the negative liberal press. Lesson learned.
