CyberBeast delivery & my review after 200+ miles

[crashoverride]

Very nice! Congratulations. Thanks for sharing your experience.

Do you see a noticeable difference in the acceleration between Beast mode and comfort or any other mode?

There is a very large difference in acceleration between each level. The difference between Sport and Beast mode throttle responses are almost as big as between Chill and Sport. The first time I really hit the throttle in Beast mode I giggled... a lot... I had only felt that level of acceleration on roller coasters.

Quote: It's quick, very quick. In Beast Mode
Is it your perception that the beast can perform 0-60mph in 2.6 seconds? That’s faster than my Ferrari Pista!

It feels faster than one of my previous vehicles that could run a 3.6 second 0-60. I need to get my Draggy back from a friend to know for sure.

I’m curious to hear your opinion on exterior panel fit and finish.

I thought it was good for panel alignment. The fit and finish of the truck set a good first impression. The interior looks and feels quality. It looks like they went out of their way to make a spartan, yet futuristic, interior that feels good. It feels like I need to live with it for a while to really spot any issues inside and out.

For example, it sounds like there are no rattles or squeaks to be found yet. That will take some time, some miles, some bumps, and some normal use before I'll know it'll stay that way.

I took delivery of a CyberBeast on 3/12/24. It was everything I was hoping for and I'm very happy. I have put a couple hundred miles on it and here are my first impressions.

I hope everyone gets their truck soon and can't wait to see y'all out there.

Congratulations Alan! Wow! It looks spectacular!

I'm getting more excited by the week.

As to the hater: I would have smiled and said (in a pleasant, delighted sounding voice), "Well thank you, I bought it just to piss off people like you!"

Can you point to the product brand and specific name that they used on your CT. I need to start a spreadsheet as there have been several. TIA

I went with XPEL Prime XR Plus

Next will be rolling coals blocking your lane.

My daughter encountered so many of them in Nevada part of I-80 but later found a way to cut their balls off with super quick acceleration on her X and her husband's Plaid.

Thanks for the review! So in beast mode, you can still be in a high ride height? It doesn’t go down after a certain speed?

That's correct. It looks like it stays in the high mode up to some very high speeds...

People the manuals are available (see link in my sig):
Do find on this in the owners manual as one example:

Ride Height Settings - Off -Road​

Ugly is just a different kind of beautiful.

I took delivery of a CyberBeast on 3/12/24. It was everything I was hoping for and I'm very happy. I have put a couple hundred miles on it and here are my first impressions.

Things I noticed right away were that it feels like the back end is fish tailing at slow speeds due to the rear steer. This feeling went away after 20-30 minutes of driving and I do not notice it now.

The cockpit feels like a spaceship because of the large pieces of glass, the triangle shaped windows are useful and feel like the Millennium Falcon.

It's quick, very quick. In Beast Mode, it seems like the truck can break all four tires loose by flooring it on dry pavement at any speed under 20mph. It's not unstable, it's just a hell of a ride similar to a roller coaster launch. It's awesome

The various driving modes can be intimidating and confusing at first. This has almost gone away and I'm getting much more comfortable with the UI and how I like to drive it. My current favorite mode is High Ride Height, Beast mode, and comfortable handling as it feels quick and rides like a dream on any road surface.

My first thoughts were that the steering wheel felt too small. That changed after driving it for an hour or so as it became clear it was the perfect size. The drive by wire enables a feeling of confidence that is hard to beat. I've found that the angles and the flats of the squircle seem to be right where they need to be while corning. I'm a big fan of the drive by wire and squircle.

I felt the windows needed tinting but finding a shop to do it was challenging. It seems like it's worth calling around and asking lots of questions such as how long will it take, can you show proof you've done this before? I went with 30% on sides and back and 70% on the front and top. It seems to have come with the perfect combination of privacy, visibility, and UV/IR protection.

It's true, there will be a lot of attention, but beware that not all of it will be positive. My first interaction after picking it up was someone following me to a restaurant parking lot, got out of their vehicle, and he felt I needed to know it looked like shit. I have no idea what prompts someone to go out of their way to do that.

Fingerprints. There will be lots of them but I'm not sure how much of a problem this will be for people who park outside all the time. It looks like they are noticeable on a crystal clear, perfectly clean car. I'm going to wait to see how it is over time before making any PPF decisions.

Lack of center hub and lug nut covers. This is horrible and the full covers can't get here fast enough. Driving around with the exposed, unfinished center hubs and lug nuts looks bad. I'm designing and 3d printing my own covers as I type this to have something while waiting for the new whole wheel covers to arrive.

I hope everyone gets their truck soon and can't wait to see y'all out there.

What voodoo did you do to get a Cyberbeast delivered? That's like catching a unicorn! Thanks for the excellent review. : )

Is this your first Tesla or EV? Great to hear Beasts being delivered. Are you a ‘normal joe’ like many of us or ties to Tesla/influencer, etc.

I'm not sure exactly what I did other than I clicked reserve the moment the truck went on stage in 2019.

It's not my first EV. I'm a normal person, not tied to Tesla, and not a celebrity or content creator.
