Cyberbeast waiting room ⏳

[Big500]

I received a message notification from the Tesla app. Bracing myself, I checked the message from Tesla. It contained a link to the Cybertruck "off-road" YouTube video. The message read: 'Your Upcoming Cybertruck. Hi David, learn more about your Cybertruck's driving capabilities, including Off-Road Mode.' Has anyone else received this? If so, how many days after getting this message did you get your CyberBeast VIN?

I also received this message. I think it may have went to a lot of people. My order date is 8/05/24 with a OCT-DEC estimate.

I got a message to review the videos a few days before they gave me my VIN.

Tell them for the love of God, do NOT put tire dressing on! Sucks so bad getting it off...

Will do. However unfortunately delivery now delayed until the 5th. Amazing a company that pioneers so much tech and is so innovative can’t seemed to be more accurate with delivery dates. Literally the day they were suppose to get the truck they tell me late in day it will now not get there until the 4th. Truck is in Chicago. Not sure I understand the delay. Has been there for over a week. I would have gladly flown there and drove it home.

****ADVICE ON DELIVERY DAY****

Things I should have known and things I wish I knew.

1. Tell your wife, husband, life partner, stranger you met on the way in to take MORE pictures than they normally would. My wife took several pictures... most with me with a scowl. Not because there were any problems but because it was like 100 degrees out and I was trying not to break down giggling like a school girl.

2. TAKE WINDOW CLEANER. The windshield in the picuture above and even in person looked fine. But, by the time we were leaving, the sun played some kind of trick and we could not see out of the windshield. I mean, I got in, fiddled with the screen a little, put it in drive, and then slowly pulled forward until the windshield was in the shade. I couldn't see crap. Outgassing is a thing. Sprayway without ammonia and blue shop towels (fancy paper towels) did the trick. It helps to have really long arms.

3. CHECK THE APP after arrival!!! We checked in, were told to go walk around the truck. We did. Went back in. Another guy said "You can hang out in the lounge. She'll come get you when the paperwork is done."
- Got several notifications from Tesla. App related.
- One was "Review financing" which we did the previous night and the app said "review financing" then also and when we did, it restarted the finance process. Didn't want to do that on delivery day! Loe and behold, eventually, I looked at the financing thing again and opened it carefully to not restart the process and WAAAAAY down at the bottom was an accept button. Did that. Waited some more.
- Went back out to the main room. 'she' was there. "Oh, I thought you were still walking around the truck." Yeah. No. It's a million degrees out there. Maybe check the lounge or look out the frigging window?

4. For all that is holy, tell them politely "DO NOT PUT THAT WHEEL SHINE ON MY CAR BECAUSE I DON'T WANT IT SLUNG ALL OVER THE DAMNED THING!" And I mean All over. Like, all the f*ck over. Everywhere.

5. When you launch in Beast mode for the first time, make damn sure you have a LOT of space to slow the f*ck down! The brakes are deceptively... how do I say it?... laxidasical? Lazy? Weak? Slow to engage? Oh, it's so frigging quick. It isn't like a lot of power coming on and pinning you to the seta. No. I'm pretty sure my spine snapped, my eyes sunk into my skull, and I was thrown back into the seat so far I think I saw the seat frame's part number.

6. We passed a school bus full of middle school kids (and at least one teacher) all crowding the windows and pointing and waving and grinning. Yeah, that made our day. My wife and daughter just grinned and waved back. Traffic kept us near but just behind and to the right of the bus for a while. When we finally passed on the left, the kids all rushed that side of the bus. Too much fun!

7. I'm going to refer back to #2 above. You'll definitely want some kind of wand or magnet thing to clean the windshield because, damn, that thing is DEEP. I'm 6'3" and have been told "You have long ass monkey arms".

NOW, I'd like to throw out some observations that maybe others have pointed out, but these are mine and I'd like to contribute to the collective intelligence.

1. It rides fine but it isn't any more comfortable on the road than my last F-150 or Maverick.
2. I didn't really notice the "great turn radius" and had planned to make it a talking point until this morning when I just whipped it right into a parking space. Man, this thing really can turn.
3. Yesterday, I reached for the turn stalk a few times and thought it would take some time to get used to. Today, I naturally just hit the buttons with my thumb. It is already intuitive. AND, NO, there's no weirdness about hitting the right button when the wheel is turned. I mean, the wheel doesn't turn that much. Plus, I understand how a clock works...
4. The noise from the tires is considerable but nothing compared to the motors. The Cybertruck is, undeniably loud inside. And, just to throw this out there, I don't think tire selection will make much of a difference in sound.
5. The stereo is pretty darn good, and it gets VERY loud.
6. Beast mode makes the throttle response very twitchy. It's almost uncomfortable to use for longer periods of time and definitely in traffic. I haven't launched it in comfort mode but I believe it will be plenty fast in that mode.
7. Seats are comfortable but there is a lot less foot space compared to even my little Maverick. Forget about stretching out your left leg.
8. The frunk is surprisingly shallow. I mean, I've seen lots of pictures and videos and people sitting in there but in person, it's shallow.
9. The Cybertruck plays larger than it is. I've driven large trucks and maybe this observation is just because of my time with my little Maverick but, the Cybertruck just FEELS big. It isn't any larger overall than my F-150 was, but it feels bigger. Hard to explain.
10. FSD or at least lane awareness would be wonderful. I turned on the lane departure warning but, come on. Even my little Ford Maverick had decent hands-free driving and would keep its lane nicely. I am going to miss that little guy.
11. I didn't notice anything missing as far as accessories. All my panels seem fine. The windshield motor base seemed fine (though, techs did take my truck in back to "check one last thing" and the motor base looks awfully new). I'm not sure what else I should have checked. Forgot to try out the wiper. Jeez. I should try that after work today.

Oh, the $2,500 hit my account almost as soon as payment went through. So, now on to QMerit, whose site wouldn't "scan" my panels right. Anyway, more fun ahead.

That's it. Hope it was useful or at least interesting to read. I'll probably hang out in this channel for a bit and then find a Beast room or maybe I'll make one for Beast owners.

Hey, it's a great truck. Worth the wait. Fun to drive. Comfortable. Fast. Bad Ass.

I just took delivery today of my Cyberbeast. And I can't agree with point 2 about the window cleaner. I had same issue angle of sun and inside film was terrible. Thanks to this post I already ordered an extendable cleaner and it was waiting for me when I got home!

Truck is in Chicago. Not sure I understand the delay. Has been there for over a week.

Unfortunately, Tesla is not in the vehicle transportation business, it is contracted out to 3rd parties. Would be nice if they could handle everything in house.

I received the same in app message yesterday and about had a heart attack thinking it was my Cyberbeast VIN, nope just some lame video (actually good video) that I’d already seen on YouTube.

Come on Tesla, issue that VIN, lets get these trucks delivered ASAP!

I understand that. True…. However, for years Amazon was not in the delivery business either. Nonetheless, they could almost always give me a solid date when I was going to get something. I get that moving cars is different. I have had cars moved and shipped before and process always seemed more predictable than this has been. So in this situation the third party told them they will have it to my delivery center on Friday. Then on Friday informs Tesla, sorry won’t get it there until next Wednesday's? It is not like they missed the mark by a day or two. It will be ok obviously. I, like most here, am just excited. We all want our trucks yesterday. Part of me would like to understand the process and how things can can change so significantly with almost no advanced notice. The reality is it could get delayed again and again. Praying not.

Kinda in the same boat. I was told a VIN on 22Aug, was told had to take delivery 25,26,27Aug. I was tied up at work and asked for 30Aug, Tesla rep says no, you have to pick one of the dates we supplied or your order will be hold or canceled. I picked 27Aug 4pm and rearranged work tasks. At noon on 27Aug I get a text, oops, your truck is actually not here, we need to reschedule for 30Aug. I re-rearrange work schedule and accept 30Aug 4pm. 30Aug @ noon, get a CALL from Svc Ctr, oops, truck needs something replaced, 1 week for part, now 6Sept 4pm delivery.

I still believe, but I have been giving a caveat to my acquaintances asking me about my truck that "this could be the worst financial decision I have made in my life, or it could be pretty great."

So far I haven't got an "I told you so" out loud from a doubter, but I'm sure some are thinking it.

I'm mentally ready for the truck.

My order date 5/24/24 delivery Oct-Dec

 

[bonedoc]

I have been watching recent VINs. It seems there is a pretty broad range of people who have recently received their VIN. I believe mine is the highest I have seen so far. Mine 304XX. Anyone higher?
