The biggest selling point for me was that I test drove the Ford Lightning, Rivian, Silverado RST EV, The Hummer EV and both versions of the Cybertruck. The AWD CT was less expensive than some of the others while the Beast CT was a little more. Cost aside, or if they were all the same price, I thought the Cyberbeast was the best one, for me, likely bc my first Tesla was a Model X Plaid. The competitions vehicles just don’t have the added benefits that Tesla offers-they ALL felt empty or “brainless” because I knew they would never be able to evolve to be fully autonomous….perhaps future iterations would, but not the ones I drove! I wanted a vehicle that will “learn” and grow and was willing to pay whatever slight price difference that may entail. I did like the Silverados range but knowing how actually inefficient it is and that they just stuffed a bunch of extra batteries in there to make up for their lack of engineering turned me off to that-it would be like buying a Dually Silverado with the extra fuel tank and then boast to your friend that the truck could go farther than their family car-lol. The CT AWD is very well priced, compared to the competition…if you can even call them competition!
