My wife and I took a road trip to northern Indiana this weekend to do some biking and sightseeing. The Cybertruck was amazing to drive on both highway and winding country roads, and very comfortable for a day trip. Lots of thumbs up along the way and people checking it out when it was parked. It was likely one of the first Cybertrucks in this area of the country. Also got to try out my bike rack to see how the rear camera worked with the bikes on it. It thought we were being followed by a car, and occasionally gave beeps in reverse, but I could see well enough behind me.
Stopped in Shipshewana to do some shopping and pick up some chicken feed. Had to drive into a drive-thru to pick up the feed. The Amish guys loading it into my bed were impressed with the tonneau cover and that the truck lowered down to entry mode. An Amish man and his wife were sitting there and he asked "What kind of vee-hickle is THAT!?" He wanted to know the range, the charge time, and what it was called. His wife remarked that it was very quiet. They were impressed.
On my trip back to Michigan, it said I would arrive at the Supercharger near my home with 5% battery life, so I had to take it easy. At one point a large F-series diesel passed me on a country road and intentionally rolled coal as he passed. I didn't take the bait, but could have easily passed him. I was already going 10 over the limit and my wife immediately knew what I was thinking.
Speaking of which, she absolutely loves the Cyberbeast. She was very comfortable the entire trip. She loved the seats and the separate climate control options. She liked the sound system, and loves being able to watch Netflix at the Supercharger. Fortunately there is one Supercharger at our home location that allows pull through charging, and it was open, otherwise it would have been difficult to charge with the bike rack on the back. At one point she said it felt like we were leaving our baby outside while we were going into a store. She's already thinking she might like a Model Y now. We will see...
