CYBERBEAST or AWD (WHICH ONE SHOULD I BUY AND WHY)

[hemiarch]

Cyberbeasts still have the issue with the front axle skipping due to front wheel drive bias in normal situations. I experience it at minimum once a day. Still jarring and annoying and I can’t count for people who claim they’ve never experienced it in their cyber beast. Maybe they’re not driving in beast mode— I don’t know, but, it’s real and it’s not great and Tesla should fix it.

As far as better daily driving? I can’t speak for them, but my experience with having an AWD loaner was generally a more compliant ride and smoother overall acceleration. It just feels more refined, but I don’t think anybody should be buying a car referred to as a beast and expecting it to ride like a Bentley.

Don’t give me wrong, the car is very smooth compared to other rides but compared to the softer cybertruck it’s rough. This should be expected it’s the sports car version and if you’re driving around in beast mode it’s going to feel sportier which can easily just be translated to rougher.

I have no idea what it’s like in chill mode or something else because I only drive it in beast mode because - duh! - that’s what I bought it for!

Thank you counselor.
I didn’t realize the suspension was any different. I really do like how smooth and non-jarring the AWD is. Don’t get me wrong, I love sports cars but this truck serves a different purpose than that for my family.
I had a similar sense about the beast loaner I got which I literally only had for half a day and it was parked outside the hospital for almost all of it. My first impression was that it was way louder but that may have just been that specific car. I also felt…and this is going to sound crazy…that the FSD kind of slammed on the brakes and stopped a lot more abruptly than the gradual slow down I get in my car.
it was definitely fast, meaning acceleration-wise but I feel like if I drove that way my passengers would mostly complain and not enjoy themselves. I guess that’s what you guys mean by better daily driver.
I stand by my decision, which I actually made twice, so I guess that makes me the rare third type of driver that doesn’t “wish I had a cyberbeast”

Dalton explained it perfectly, I loved the Beast but only when launching it. Something that big should not go that fast and I loved it, but I have a Plaid S. The AWD is just a more refined product and tbh I do not know how the induction motor is going to hold up long-term as I plan on keeping this truck long-term.

Looks like a good deal to me. The first one I mean.
Personally, think that a car under $70k and a $110k car are not even in the same category of purchase. You could buy the first one and a model y to have for shiggles for the cost of the second.
I do love free supercharging but I think I’d rather have the extra model y.

Tell me about it I have over 1000 miles in it in like 2 weeks l. I can’t believe I even asked the question on what the differences are because the beast is something else next level.
I have been driving it in chill mode and I’ll tell you that didn’t last long I had to go back in beast mode because I mean just because it’s to big of a difference.

Chill mode saves tire’s.

So, was in service few weeks ago and seen few CT and can’t say how they were being driven, but their treads look worn and tore down for year one. LOL.

When you hit a small bump under rapid acceleration in a Beast you will feel like you hit a wall for a moment. Then you remember how much fun you're having and move on. That's the life of a Beast owner.

Really happy you guys enjoy them so much. The Cybertruck is an amazing product.

Lady’s and gentlemen let’s keep this post going. I decided to take the beast and I will be adding updates on here.

Congrats!

Well seams about right, your question was kinda a no brainer though.

You did come from a Ram TRX, and not a 1500 RAM Laramie, so your mind was kinda made up on The BEAST.

Congratulations. Enjoy.
