Driving different vehicle after driving cybertruck

[Obecalb]

Dropped Cybertruck off for a wrap and shop gave me a loaner. I’ve driven nothing but Cybertruck since I picked it up 2 weeks ago and have about 1000 miles. It was insane going back to driving a regular vehicle (a gmc Yukon). No steer by wire, anemic acceleration, buttons everywhere, steering wheel feels comically big like a helm on a huge old ship.

Amazing how quickly my brain adapted to how much better Cybertruck driving is compared to legacy cars. No way I could ever go back.

Completely agree! I drove a BMW IX yesterday. Same price pretty much and it feels like a normal car. Compared to a Cybertruck, the steering is sloppy, the regen breaking was weak. The cameras were non existent. Then you go to an ICE car an it feels like driving a dinosaur. People who haven’t driven the Cybertruck don’t know what they are missing!

I share my Cybertruck and I hate when I get back into my Ford Lightning. It feels like I'm driving a school bus. The steering wheel feels huge and backing into the garage takes more work than the Cybertruck. The turning radius and wheel to wheel lock of the Cybertruck is just so awesome.

There's really nothing I like better about the Lightning except it's a little bigger inside, the tailgate is powered open and close, and it has an electric roof shade.

I now have 6,000 mi in 3 weeks behind the wheel of a Cybertruck and there's no going back.

So, you're saying you don't like driving big, sloshy boats that steer like a bad dream, that make funny noises and vibrations, accelerates like a drunken sloth and has an overly busy interior with lots of different switches and buttons that require fiddling with to achieve what you want? Even if that's what you were accustomed to your entire life?

Who woulda' thunk? ?

You didn't even get to the part where you have to peer down between the steering wheel to see your current speed, and it gets blocked by the spokes whenever you go around a curve. If you put the steering wheel where it's most comfortable, you can't see your speed at all! And when you leave home you have to check your gas gauge to see if you're going to need to go find one of those places that sells gasoline, so you don't run out. Because it takes a lot of gasoline to keep those toxic gases flowing out that exhaust pipe and the car won't move unless the toxic gases are coming out.

You can't even heat or cool the cabin without keeping those toxic gases flowing.

All of this is so accurate lol. There really is just no going back after you experience it!

Completely agree. I’ve had a lot of cars, but this has been my first EV, and my first Tesla. Driving any ICE vehicle after this feels archaic. I did keep my Subaru for those under-the-radar errands, lol.

I get almost the same thing when transitioning from my model Y to my Honda Ridgerunner, which is a pretty good truck it self, (all the truck you need). These particular post should go on one those Facebook posts criticizing the cybertruck, calling it "That UGLY Thing" and much more crude statements. the Ludites don't know what they are missing. minds can't be changed.

It's a pain in the ass to drive a gasoline powered car now. What? you mean I have to set here with my foot on the brake.

I still haven't driven my Performance Model 3 a single mile since I picked up the Cybertruck 7 weeks ago! The Cybertruck is just so much fun to cruise in. My wife likes it a lot too!
