“Twice as long to charge”? Not accurate.

CyberTruck is equipped for 350kW charging and the new superchargers that support it are already rolling out…go find one, test it, and then correct your statement.

I took delivery of my Beast on Thursday. Since then, it has rained three days here in the Bay Area and I'm definitely looking forward to the OTA update to enable automatic wipers. I've learned to be patient ...

By the way, another big difference from the F-150 (raptor) is that it easily fits in my 2 car garage (because it can squat down to 5'9"). This is a big deal for me due to limited driveway space and because I dont really want to attract onlookers to my house.

Great to hear! I'm in San Diego as well, should get a SD CT group meet sometime!
Great idea! I'm in Vista. Ordered mine during the reveal in 2019.

Love that idea. I'm in Vista, how do we organize a get-together? for a sunday morning drive?. I ordered mine during the reveal in 2019 (also 30 seconds after Elon said "you can order yours now..." and received email to formalize order on Feb 2, 2024 (I went for the cyberbeast). Not sure why it took so long for me to get that email to configure my order. My buddy who ordered his the day AFTER the reveal has had his AWD for 6 weeks now.
Neither one of us have owned Teslas nor have tesla stock, nor are we anyone special.
He let me drive his AWD and the steering is THE COOLEST thing on this truck. It is without a doubt the future of steering for ALL EVs, not just teslas. I'm waiting patiently, but I'm upset with the unfairness of my order, why did so many get to order theirs before me when I was so far ahead of them in my reservation order number, it's total BS.

The 4680s (or whatever they are now called now that they have increased in size...4695s?) are the reason for the slow charging curve. They're brand new in this dimension (and maybe chemistry). They've already updated the charging curve once already (from max taper stopping at 20ish percent to it now stopping at 29 percent), and it might get better after they have more data, but no one knows yet.

Sounds good!! When did you configure it and is it AWD?

Configured on 2/2/24. Ordered the CB
That's probably why! When I ordered on 1/25 the timeline was Feb-Apr for AWD and Mid-Late 2024 for beast. What did yours say? I noticed the recent orders only state Late 2024 now..

Took delivery on Tuesday this week of a Cyberbeast at the Miramar service center in San Diego. Ordered roughly 30 seconds after Elon said "and you can order it now" while I was at the reveal event Nov. 21, 2019 (see attached photo). Finalized order on 12/9/23.

I have owned teslas since early 2013, one of the first model S delivered in San Diego. Nowadays there are more Teslas around here than Toyota corollas. Delivery was great, the folks were super nice and the usual red bow on the window and red carpet. Fit and finish are nearly perfect with the exception of the front right and left not being perfectly aligned leading to a big difference in the gap of right and left front sides (see photos). I have filed a service request for that.

My daily driver is a MS plaid and I own or have owned Model X (2), Model Y (2), and original MS (P85+). I'm used to the early adopter issues and am bracing for the many issues that one encounters with driving a prototype. So far, last few hundred miles my impressions are as follows:

• Drives more like a car than a truck, as I also own an F-150 I am qualified to say that. The steer by wire takes a few minutes to get used to but once you re-wire your brain it's very intuitive and awesome. No doubt this will be standard for all Teslas in a few years.

• Love the plaid/beast drivetrain. Is it worth the extra for the difference in 4.2 to 2.6 acceleration? Probably is because if you wanted to take a stock car that ran 4.2 and make it 2.6 it would cost a lot more than that. Also, the Alcantara trim that comes with the beast is nice.

• Handling is really awesome and the customizability of the ride/handling is superbly executed

• if you are shy and dont like attention wait a couple of years before you get it. I predict that they will not be demand-constrained on these things for a decade and will sell as many as they can possibly make.

• Visibility. I have not had the A-pillar issues that some of the YouTube videos claim. Visibility is great and I am used to the rear-view mirror view on the screen. I agree with others that it is stupid that they didn't put the rear view in the actual rear view mirror, even much cheaper cars have that. I do find myself being content driving slower than with the MS plaid.

• Something I haven't heard people mention is peace of mind when you park somewhere. With all my other Teslas I have been obsessive about parking away from others to avoid being hit by doors and shopping carts. Now I park wherever I want and feel sorry for anyone that hits the car with their door- only they will have damage. The kids love kicking the truck as hard as they can. There is no other vehicle currently for sale that you can do this unless you drive an M1 Abrahms tank. Also love not worrying about curb rash anymore. I dont plan on wrapping because I like the stainless steel look .

• Charging: Expect roughly double the time for charging everywhere. Because the battery is essentially twice the size of a MY/M3, 110 outlet is 2 mi/hr, J1772 chargepoint is about 13 mi/hr, and supercharging is roughly double the time you will experience with any other Tesla. Not a complaint, just be aware.

• The audio system as others mentioned is sublime. The sounds of the motors are super cool and space age.

• This could easily be someone's daily driver, just like an F150 is for many folks.

If you all have any questions fire away.

Congrats and thank for the honest unbiased review. Now I wait for my Cyberbeast VIN

Double the charging time I think is the biggest shock coming from other Teslas
Didnt Elon say it had the same fast charging tech as the Tesla Semi or did that never materialize?

That was in the 500 mile range hype era, current charge rate on the CT is the same as a basic M3 but a bigger battery, really slow even on V3

Did you pay cash or finance? What is the extra insurance cost?

USAA quoted me an extra $69 a month but that was for the dual not cyberbeast.
