This is pretty accurate. Still getting attention, but less by the day (which I’m happy about). Had dinner at the Pendry earlier this week and when I arrived I was the only CT, but after dinner there were two wrapped matte black parked next to me (front row valet with all the super cars next to...
Very similar experience for me, as well as thoughts on the comparison, when I went back to the R1S (now my wife’s) after only 4 days of driving the Cyberbeast.
I have a drivers side window issue as well - need to schedule an appointment. Mine still works, but leaves a smidge at front and rear of window when rolling down and up. Something came loose as it definitely didn’t make this noise when I first got it (two weeks ago tomorrow).
Too funny - I had a very similar experience debating whether to move forward with our 1 week old Beast, and like you was won over by the YOLO factor. I know I would have regretted it if I passed…but ask me again after the first round of price cuts :-)
Wish I could. Live in suburbia and outside of some (slow speed) trails in Big Bear in the Rivian these have been pavement queens so far. Never had the opportunity in the Lightning outside of some very light off-roading in Utah.
There is a dry lakebed outside of Joshua Tree near Indian Cove that...
So much has been written by so many, so I'm going bullet style w/ a stream of thoughts and happy to answer follow-up questions.
*Exterior Styling - Purely subjective so I'll leave it at no comment.
* Interior - The R1S feels the most luxurious to me, but the Lightning Platinum w/ its massaging...
Watching it this very moment. As someone who had a Lightning Platinum, has a Launch Edition R1S, and now has a Cyberbeast, each has its unique strengths and weaknesses. One day after I’ve had more seat time with the Cybertruck (got it on Monday) I’ll put some thoughts down and share.
Great meeting you today & thx for all the tips (I’ll hit you up again later for some of the names/suggestions you’d shared). The truck is amazing and the steer by wire makes it so incredibly maneuverable for its size. 6 hours in and absolutely loving it.
SoCal - put my deposit in within the first minute of the URL at the reveal, and within the first 30 minutes when they opened up the orders that Friday in early December.
So got my Cyberbeast VIN last week and is sub 200 vs the 4000ish I’m seeing from some others. Should I be worried that it might be a can of worms that I’m getting?
FWIW we’re with Mercury and currently have our R1S and Polestar 2 dual motor. I asked what the change in premium would be swapping out the P*2 for the Cybertruck (gave Beast VIN) and answer was about an extra $300 each 6 months.
All in all not a bad change.
FWIW my VIN came in today…CB VIN that is just sub 200. Was a minute one deposit holder and finalized my order that fateful Friday in early December with 30 minutes if getting the email. Ready for delivery in Irvine, so should have it s00n (nod to Rivian).
