$59k Base Dual-Motor AWD Cybertruck Begin Delivery!

[Sjohnson20]

Smooth pick up from the John Young Pkwy Tesla as usual!

I was there about 15 mins before they started their show.

They did the usual commercials playing about 10 mins then go to the back and watch the light show with all the cars. I've seen it 4 times lol so I was just waiting to leave.

Once all that was over I got in the truck. A woman that works there came that recognized me haha you know you have a car buying problem when they remember you!

First thing is the FSD wouldn't start. They are heavily pushing FSD. When I was pulling out the guy said we've been told to suggest a few miles on FSD. I told him it's greyed out. I thought it was the gps being in the building. I pulled out to the lot. Tried the screen reboot. Still not starting. I went to service mode and did the DAS reset and that fixed it.

It's got FSD 14.2.2.5 yuck! Had all the old behaviors. Too slow on standard. It makes wider turns. Hit the lines and reflectors some. The nag was still high when touching the screen. They really need to get these new cars on the latest FSD if they plan to push people using it.

I love the interior. Way more than my FS. The colors of the seats and everything are good.

The stereo is good but lacks the deeper bass that the FS truck has.

Phone charger still sucks. Phone was overheated very soon. No big deal.

There was a mobile connector inside.

It's much quieter inside than my FS. No rattles or other strange noises.

The suspension height is good for me. It seems a little bouncy when at speed on the highway. definitely the air suspension is much less bouncy. Something I will get used to.

Tailgate does the soft close!

The tail gate doesn't seem to be the soft close version. At least on mine. I need to go check my FS and compare. But I feel like the FS sucks the tailgate in and this one just shuts.

Awesome man! The OG finally got his truck! This thread is a wrap

Thank you. Appreciate you taking the time to write the details.

I’ll be picking up my Cybertruck tomorrow in St. Louis. Not sure why Tesla moved my delivery from Chesterfield, but no complaints.
A good friend of mine works at the Chesterfield location and apparently put in a good word for me. I just got a call from the St. Louis delivery team, and they said they’ll have the truck detailed, fully prepped, and charged to 90% as requested.
They also told me not to worry about my appointment time—just head over from the airport when I land and they’ll have everything ready to go. Great customer service so far.

Out of Spec just released a towing test video.
Warning, in usual fashion, this is a long video, almost an hour.

Better efficiency than a Prius?

When calculating the cost per mile from home charging vs. gasoline. If you have solar you’re charging for free. (Unless you have your own oil well and refining capability). Yes it’s more efficient. I believe the monroney label lists it as 79 mpg equivalent.

Finally.
We can all go home now.

Wait, where's my $59k Cybertruck?

Navy Federal Credit Union 3.89% 36 months. Approved within 1 hour and check overnighted. I told them I don’t need the money yet but they sent it anyway as it’s good for 6 months. Also refinanced another car at 4.75% 36 months. Of course all depends on your credit rating and relationship to a family member serving or has served in the military.

Good info..Thanks a lot. .i will check with NFCU as well.

Haha.. This thread doesn't end when one gets his/ her truck.
It ends when every last one of us gets our $59K Cybertruck.
Friends don't let friends wait for their CT alone.
Now Tesla... where's @GN1 's truck?

New SAWD owners: Any rattles or loose sounds when closing your doors? Any drivers door and/or mirror fluttering issues at higher speeds?

I'm curious if these customer complaints were addressed on the 2026 model.

mines like a church inside. Big difference from my VIN 1955 FS

The bouncy suspension is the only thing that is not as good I think. I guess after a couple years of air suspension it's going to feel different.

 

[Sjohnson20]

Oh and the tonneau cover seems much improved. Smoother open and close. Can't comment on the waterproof ability yet.

Just realized no ASS on this truck yet. Having the old software can suck when you first get the vehicle.

I just checked my FS truck and I was correct about the tailgate. On that truck when you close it grabs and shuts it. 59k truck you just shut it.

Weird, I was under the impression that SAWD does not get soft-close tailgate.
But to my surprise, around 2-3 weeks ago, someone posted a video or something saying that it did have soft-close.
Does anyone else remember the same?

 

[HaulingAss]

lol

this thing drinks gas like nobody’s business.

Still, I think you should keep the Ram and cancel your order. I hope you got this advice in time. Reasons:

1) The fact that you are having doubts tells us the Ram is the better option for you. You shouldn't have to give up the power, the comfort and the "ton of storage" available in the Ram.

2) The Ram is elegant and doesn't look like this:

Any questions?
