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

[GrandEnigma]

If off roading is your high priority....you got the wrong vehicle. CT sucks at off roading, far inferior than a true off roading vehicle like the Raptor. CT is super great on smooth surfaces only. I own both.

It’s been perfect for getting me too and from my cabin where I can charge on solar and accessing dirt roads and service roads while charging my electric dirt bike in the bed.

This post is only weird because the question itself is weird. Nothing wrong with you asking the question, but don't be surprised when you get a bunch of "weird" replies from everyone with a BEAST, or AWD, posturing, and defending their decision for choosing that one, or, regretting not getting the other one. If you count the examples, many who got a AWD admitted if they had to do it over again, they would get the BEAST. (That is what I meant by commenting earlier that @IntoTheRain916 was in the minority...he is happy with his AWD, and good for him, it's his life, and his choice....but many who get the AWD regret not getting the CB (not all, but it happens, as attested by many in this thread).

IT IS A PERSONAL CHOICE.

My attempts at humor with over-the-top, fantastical, examples was my "weird" way of expressing this meessage. Some got the humor, but most probably didn't.

Get whatever suits you for whatever reasons suit you...it's no one else's business why you choose the one you want. But, we did give you plenty of valuable feedback in this thread, to throw into your calculator to determine what is best for you.

Good luck!

And I'm tanking all of you for that...

Other than the occasional dirt path or unpaved area, mine wont see much “off road.”

need to get around to getting a set of quick disconnects and I’ll change that for you. I did have to swap out the stock tires as they sucked pretty bad in wet, mud and snow this past winter . Have KO3s now.

100%

WHY IS THIS POST WEIRD
All i did is ask for information between the 2 CT. People here have them both and why not get informed for free and why not ask about the money side? It doesn't matter how much money you have it matters to spend it wisely and for things that makes you happy. AWD OR BEAST giving new forum members information should be given with heart and dignity and correctly not making them feel weird about their questioning.

100% Correct ??

When I hear “off-roading,” I picture this….

But this is my level of off-roading.

So, you decided to go for the future Scorpion model then?

Only thing better would be a Scorpion...

Umm..if there really was a zombie apocalypse, range would be better over acceleration. Superchargers will not be readily available. ?

True! But having a Beast of Power to drive over a huge Pile of Zombies! With AWD, you could get stuck and might not have enough power to conquer a LARGE HORD!!??
Personally, I wouldn’t want to get stuck? with lack of power! ??

Hi guys my name is John and i am new to the forum. I have an order placed from April 17th 2025 for a CB and the truck should be here soon. I need your guys imput please on the CB vs AWD as i can't really find to much info on which is better for daily driving. Let me put it this way when i placed my order i was really interested in the Free supercharging as i commute about 200 miles every other day for work some highway driving and city driving (i am involed in restate development / construction) Since i placed the order about a month ago the awd didn't have free supercharging but now it does the FS AWD and after reading a lot on here about the differences i am stuck now. Most of you are saying AWD is a better drive over the Beast. I come from a Ram TRX and that was my daily 41k miles in 1.4 years i drove it a lot. Engine went out at 38k miles (replaced under the warranty and sold the car right after) so i decided to go ev since my wife has the model y and i am liking it a lot. The discounts are great on CT right now the CB i ordered is 107k and I've been looking at AWD for $72000 with no incentives. Or should i just look at the FS AWD with all incentives. By the way i am also looking into the leasing option as i got some terrible financing rates of %10 percent. With that said let's not forget I'll be driving over the miles. Did my calculation I'll be at a $7500 in extra miles after 36 months. The money line question for me is if you guys are willing to give me your opinion is should i stick to the CB or AWD because its not enough to justify the differences. Also al most forgot to add my electrical panels are full capacity i am already charging a model y at home and going the CB route i will get that power wall with my order. What do you guys think and i want to thank you for reading my post God Bless.

While the bummer with the CB is the increased price and the main motor being the front permanent magnet motor, which can cause some noise issues when driving over heavy bumps - the extra power for those moments is such a joy.. Once you have it, you'll thank yourself for spending the extra and having all the extra grunt when taking off or when mudding it offroad. Take the plunge and get the best of the best!

I drove a Ford Lightning before getting the Beast. I loved the Lightning, one of my favorite things was being at a stop light and having someone unassuming next to me, then I'd blow them off the line. I took down sports car after sports car in my Lightning. Everyone I beat off the line had a look of sadness, a look of depression, this dated looking truck just beat them.

Then I decided to buy a CT and get rid of my Lightning. I thought of all my past experience in my Lightning, the embarrassment I caused to the people I was lined up against. If I bought the AWD CT, which is slower than a Lightning, I would become one of those chumps! NO WAY, WAS NOT GOING TO HAPPEN! I got the Beast.

So the question is, do you like looking at a Lightning's taillights as you eat its dust while it screams down the road making you feel weak? If you do, get the AWD, the emasculating experience for you. Now if you'd rather have the Lightning driver next to you feel like he's in a weak outdated truck, GET THE BEAST!

I really hate reading this .. . .... .... . . ...anyone looking for an AWD???!?!!?!
