Are cyberbeasts having fewer issues than AWD?

[TeslaFANa]

Anybody have any perspective or insider info whether beasts have fewer issues/better build-detail quality than AWD so far or is the sample size too small still? I don't know difference in assembly lines, etc but was told when i ordered to stick to my cyberbeasts order due to potentially better build and detail quality (not the only reason I stuck with it).

I couldn’t tell but my Beast is actually really well finished with no abnormal gaps or fitment issues. This might just be plain luck though as I doubt that there would exist any difference in quality of production between 4WD and Beast.

There are fewer of them, so we'd hear fewer reports.

I'm just a single data point, but I doubt there's much difference in QC. The only difference I noticed was that my SC was congratulating me at every turn because I just so happened to be their first CB delivery.
My panel gaps were really tight. However, there is a constant loud squeaking noise coming from the steering column at the slightest move of the steering wheel. It appears as though the plastic cover may not fit right and is rubbing against column or wheel itself. If I squeeze the bottom section, the noise stops. Not sure how that wasn't noticed by any of the Tesla folks who drove the vehicle before me up until delivery. The wiper blade may also need to get replaced or adjusted as it's making inconsistent contact with windshield, leaving 6-8 inches of untouched surface.
Service appointment is Friday. All said, I went into this in 2019 knowing I'd be a guinea pig, so I'm ok as long as issues are rectified swiftly.

they are coming down the same lines, built using the same machines and people.

My beast fit and finish has been pretty solid. I would caution though that the natural tendency is to tell "others" about a bad experience versus those of us with good experiences don't typically spread our experience as much as an individual with a bad one. There for the bad experiences seem prevalent, when they are most likely not.

Someone has to point out the obvious, since we get so many questions conflating observer bias with evidence.

Is the Cyberbeast a 3 motor animal and the AWD the 2 motor critter?

Correct. Thus the 3 headed beast logo (see my profile pic).

Mine has been solid. I didn’t really WC for the gaps but nothing stood out. Small things here and there. I’ve got the creak sound from the center console though. That needs to be fixed.

Okay. That's fair.

Same exact quality control. I would highly recommend the AWD unless you really need/want a 7000# truck that performs like the beast. IMHO, the AWD is fast enough and very badass! I have had zero major issues after 1 month of ownership and I can’t stop driving it. I have X plaid and a 911 GT3RS which smoke anything on the road and they sit in my garage rotting away while I drive the CT. Once you experience the drive by wire you will never go back to a standard mechanical steering.
