[GregimusPrime]

How's the mileage been with it? Is it on point or less?

Have you had a chance to parallel park? Curious if steer by wire makes it more difficult or easier?

 

[Robert Don]

Hope we can get a hater mode option. Make squat with a button or go front and back real quick

No chance yet, but it feels much more nimble than any other truck I've driven.

I'll need more time, and more trips to know for sure.

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.

Wait….Jason Liu, are you the same person that tried to sell your Cybertruck before delivery and had your two other reservations cancelled? Glad Tesla didn’t cancel this order as well.

That's not me

I see, Jason Liu posted your review on Facebook. Congrats on your beast!

Makes it really easy.

Would love to see your wheel covers once you make them.

The lug nut covers are done and I published the files so others can print them for themselves. https://www.cybertruckownersclub.co...nted-lug-nut-covers-for-the-cybertruck.13465/

I am waiting on my CyberBeast version as well. I was invited to order/build on 12/9/23 and have yet to hear anything about delivery. When was your invitation so I can get an idea?
