Why we bought a Cybertruck 📐 vs. other electric pickup trucks

[Ljhughes8]

I definitely want a smaller/midsize Cybertruck-never a truck person-so, don't care what others say or feel. Hope Tesla will make a smaller version for the international market and domestic as well. Lately, the Cybertruck news related to China-hopefully Tesla has to shrink the size a bit.

You need to drive one the cyber truck shrink. It drives like a car. That fast like a sport cars and can haul a load and for me. 100 $ a month to drive .

we're definitely living in illusion but I won't let myself drag further. As my T$LA is spiking like crazy I can easily purchase the CB that I saw in the local inventory but my conviction is firm-hence, I've been investor for long.

Why’d you ban him so fast, admins? I had sooo many more ways to shut him down. Oh well, next time.

Most likely because the last post was transparently false and flammable.

The admin keeps us on the straight and narrow.

Not to mention it needs an extended range battery to reach the range of a CB with A/S tires. Let’s not even start talking about the “sports car” half of the CT and just focus on the truck half.

The cyberbeast performs better than almost any sports car. It can't out perform a super car. I definitely couldn't keep up with my brother when he had his GTR but for any regular off the floor sports cars it will beat them.
Oh, and thats with stock A/T 35" tires! ROFL

Do you mean "fun to drive"? If so, I get it. Funny? Not so much.

Which is why I want one! But the $1000/mo capital cost is stopping me.

But I can see wanting something that trades cabin or bed space for a smaller footprint. Rear steering isn't going to make it fit in a narrow space or short parking spot.

Meh. You’re supposed to double park CTs anyway. Don’t need Corollas filing claims with your insurance when they open their doors too wide and damage their stuff.

That assumes an urban setting of which I am rarely in. Can't double park when it's the narrow streets or mountain roads that's the constraint ^-^

Depend how short. Ct is Easy to get in to any spot . and spots most truck couldn't get into. You will just have to wait for a while . I was 1072,000 on the list. I got the foundation series so I didn't have to wait at my quick math 9 years in June . I t may seems high but but depend on you electricity rate . You may only spend 200 a month to drive compared to a gas truck. I know people when spent almost 150 a week with us almost 600 a month on diesel.

I hope you are joking because it's their fault if they damage their doors on your Cybertruck.

The natural toughness and dent resistance is one of the best things about Cybertruck's exoskeleton, you can park it in tight spots without worrying about door dings (even if they have a beater and try to ding your door). It won't even leave a mark. If some of their paint rubs off, it will come off with a little Sprayway glass cleaner and a rag or some bronze wool.

They double park Because most truck are hard to park. But for real I sold my model 3 because I would almost hit my gate every time I leave . The CT mke it hard to drive any other car. Since it drives so good

I guarantee someone will try to blame us for the damage at some point, saying the truck shouldn’t be so hard and it should flex a little when a door opens into it or some nonsense.

That how it goes. Like a lot of people hate the cybertruck for no good reason and most have never driven one. If they did it hard to hate all the features.

While I own a CT (and a gas RAM 1500) I think all the electric trucks are great.

My definition of basic truck functionality has changed to include acceleration, tight turning circle, home backup, powering my RV, powering my tools, powering my ski boot warmer. It always has included being able to drive across the country, or tow a significant load, but I've never had to do both at once.

This month I'm seeing tuck-of-the-year reviews where the reviewers actually try the cybertruck on its merits for the first time, but they still haven't changed their review criteria to power your tools or anything. When they do the electric trucks will win. My other disappointment is that the cybertruck is generally the only electric truck they include.

• The Lightning is cheap.
• The GMC has fancy tailgate and midgate and range and 4 wheel steer.
• The Rivian is a better Gladiator.
• The CT has full supercharging, steer by wire, 4 wheel steer, nice bed and tonneau, and the best electric output for tools/homes/RVs of the lot.
• The BYD PHEV is cheap and sized for Australia.
