500 Mile Review: Things That I Dislike

[cybertruckwaldo]

Just wanted to write a note on some of the things that I hate about my Cybertruck after the first 500 miles.

First and foremost, I want to say that I absolutely love the Cybertruck and glad that I went through with acquiring it. No buyer's remorse here.

Dislikes:

1. The Sun Visor: It never blocks the sun when I need it to. The sun is either below it or above it. Tesla did a terrible job on designing it. It has to be redesigned prior to the refresh.
2. The Center Console Tray: It is really cumbersome trying to get that tray out to reach something underneath. Once it comes out there is no where to put it. I often have to ask my wife to hold it. Also, this must be redesigned. The tray should be built into the flip up piece like it is on every other SUV or Truck on planet earth.
3. The Attention You Get: I was fully aware of what was going to come with driving such a polarizing vehicle BUT man let me tell you people are weird and it is intense lol. People do not respect your privacy. They could care less that I am loading up 3 kids into the car lol. I will say what is cool is seeing the reactions from random kids. It is pretty neat lighting up their day when they see it.
4. The Software Update Process: First time Tesla owner here. I did not know that everyone does not get the update when it is rolled out. Shame on me for being spoiled by Apple lol. I am patiently waiting for Auto wipers lol
5. Lack of HomeLink: I had to clip the dreaded garage opener to the Sun Visor that I hate.
6. Wireless Charging Pads: They are slow and keep overheating my iPhone 15 Pro Max. My phone gives me the "Charging will resume when iPhone returns to normal temperature" message. This is with no case on my phone. Also, it would be nice to be able to turn off the pads and just use them as a phone rest. I have found myself using a empty MagSafe wallet on the back of my phone to stop the charging.

I will add to the list when things pop up!

Did you use the extender on the sun visor? I just keep it out all the time now.

Any regrets on getting AWD vs Beast? Can't imagine you've tested both to see but just wondering!

I have not driven the CB but I did have the thought while driving the AWD model that it has PLENTY of power. I can get to wherever I want on the road when I want to with ease. When I hit the gas pedal it GOES. I have a CB reservation in but I doubt I even get it. 0-60 in 4s is all I need after feeling it. I value having more range so I will probably stick with the AWD.

Number 3, 5 and 6 are the ones that I can relate to but I would not say that I hate them. The attention and Invasion of privacy is interesting to say the least but I can‘t really blame people for this. I’m annoyed by no homelink But there’s hope that it still may come. And the wireless charger does suck. I turn the phone around when it gets hot.
