Part 3 Final ramblings
I did not keep a real tally, but from memory I did see at least one and sometimes even more cybertrucks in each driving segment traffic every day. And I have several pictures from SC sessions where I was not the only CT charging.
I did not observe any negative reaction...
18 days, 5037 miles road trip CA to TX and back.
Part 2 FSD and route planner
Did use FSD for almost all driving, except:
-First and last hundred yards in parking lots. Tried a few times at SC locations but didn’t just feel comfortable enough and the moves were slow. Much easier to just stop...
Three parts message with data on miles and usage; FSD and route planner; and some notes.
18 days, 5037 miles road trip CA to TX and back.
Specs:

When I drive myself, I use Comfort mode (Chill, Relaxed, Higher), in FSD Standard
Part 1...
What is the (or just your) concern with putting miles on a CT?
I did 12K in my first 11.5 months, which would be 18K in a year and a half. Now three weeks later I am at 17K, after doing a long road trip.

I should have asked this before I was there: is there a place where one can park to take pictures from the front of the Tesla Giga factory in Austin?
I was around there two weeks ago, and following the Tesla routeplanner to the factory I ended up at a gate where the guard friendly but firmly...
Just back from a 5000 mile round trip. Use only superchargers to max 80%. Back at home I charged to 100% to see the range it would report: 337 miles.
During this trip the 80% range reported was a fairly constant 268 miles.
The reported average kWh/mile over the 5000 miles is 385.2 (trip A)...
The road to and through Starbase (new name for Boca Chica) is a state highway (hw4) and the only road to the beach. It is always open unless SpaceX has a special event. So you can always watch what is happening there very close,up. On launch days, or specific test days, the road gets closed...
Still waiting for the thing to go up. Sunday scrub, Monday abort, fingers crossed for Tuesday.
btw: some serious overlap between SpaceX fans and Cybertruck owners. In the five days that I have now been here I have seen eight different CTs, all visitors/watchers, not SpaceX affiliated people...
