Cybertruck Steer-By-Wire wins Motortrend 2025 Best Tech Award

[Zane Edwards]

I’m glad SbW was recognized. Unfortunately, CT is tainted with so much negativity. The only way this could change is when owners have heart to heart conversations with haters. There is no other way.

Have had many......the conversation starts with hating the truck and questioning by decision to buy it but then evolves into hating the person who created the truck and there is little to no interest in what the trucks capabilities are. I could go on and on about each interaction but I think being an owner you get it.

This makes me wonder if the rear steering is physically maxed out at 10 degrees, or if they can update that later with a software update.

That rats nest wiring looks repulsive next to the ethernet cable. whew!

and i thought there was just a little wire hanging out the back of the steering wheel behind the panels ?

i loaned a model x yesterday with the stupid yoke steering wheel. what a dumb design without steer by wire! i was turning that gigantic rectangle all the way around just to make a right turn. the yoke is HUGE. can't believe they offer that as an option. until they implement steer by wire, keep the yoke out of their vehicles.

my only complaint about the cybertruck wheel is that it needs to be rounded on the top. it's design is good otherwise.

Now that I'm used to steer-by-wire, I don't want to drive anything else. I don't miss having a round steering wheel. Don't need it.

Drove the boss's A7 today. At low speed I consistently under-steered. Plus the turn signals weren't where they belong, I actually had to use the brakes ...
