For those who have driven both. Do you feel a huge difference in performance? Like is it obviously noticeable?

Huge difference in having the air suspension / and rear wheel steering and the extra ho is really great too. Love my cyberbeast. Will only trade it for a new cyberbeast when they start installing the new AI 5 or ai6 chip in 2027

he didn't specify premium or standard and but I'm guessing he meant premium. Premium has all that besides the extra ho.

Had a loaner AWD for a few days.
Beast has significant more power, some 348 pony’s I believe. Is the AWD good enough, yea but so is a Kia. Both will get you there, AWD has more power then any standard gas car and will get you there. Beast just does it a lot faster.

Gotta merge? you’re at highway speeds split seconds. Launch at a red light and your 60 before crossing the crosswalk on the other side.

I don’t cruise around in Beast mode in the beast, normally chill or standard. I find it easier to manually control my steady speed in the lower modes then beast I look down and I’m crossing 90. Oops.

On the AWD, I kept that in Sport mode bc chill seemed way to chill for what I was used too. It’s like comparing a V8 mustang etc to a Kia soul.

Fun Fact: original Tesla roadster 0-60, is 3.9 seconds same as AWD.

I have a 2024 Beast and recently had it in to get the LightBar brackets and some other stuff done. They gave me an AWD CT loaner. I was surprised, but the ride quality of the loaner was decidedly "less than" my CB. Verified it with my GF and she agreed...I don't know what the differences are with the suspensions between the two trucks...

The air shock suspension is a huge part of what makes the cybertruck ( beast) so phenomenal. the cyberbeast is the bomb! The other model cybertrucks can’t compare on speed, power and interior look -

[skims through ANOTHER comparison thread]

Man I went out to check my AWD CT and the rear steer AND the air suspension was gone. They were both there earlier today, I swear! Worse part, I couldn't even pass a Nissan leaf on my way back from getting pizza.

OP, please just reference Tesla's official feature comparison chart or better, go on a test drive. All you got here is misinformation and ignorance.
