Dual Motor AWD Cybertruck is insanly fast

[ThatOneOverlander]

Whole lot of coping and subtle passive aggressive baiting in this thread.

Guys it’s a 50% increase in acceleration. That’s massive. You don’t need to be flooring it to feel that difference. You don’t need to be at the track to get the benefit of/feel the 50% difference in daily driving. I don’t get why there’s any back and forth here about the value of that. Obviously it’s the better trim and more than worth it for those who can afford it considering that the range extender will make the Beast the best of both worlds when it’s released.

The beast guys are the ones that started being petty on this thread. All I said is the AWD is faster than I’ll ever drive on public roads and beast dudes went crazy. I haven’t put my AWD back into sport mode even once since making this post. It’s unnecessary and dangerous speeds when you live in places like NYC.

Also the beast is not 50% faster. You can watch any video with both racing to confirm that yourself.

lastly I don’t think anyone is buying the awd because they can’t afford the beast. People are buying the AWD because we don’t have to wait 6+ months for it. If someone can afford 100k then they can easily afford 120k. Or if they really wanted a beast they could have waited until foundation series ends later this month and order a beast for the same price they’re paying for an awd.

Time is what made my decision, if the awd and beast were both 120k and I get the awd 6 months faster than a beast then I’d still choose the awd every day of the week. Time is priceless, money comes and goes.

if money has more value than time for you then by all means wait for the beast. Myself id prefer have an awd today that a beast in 6 months.

Have you driven an AWD Cybertruck?

And how long does it last? 1.3s?

And how many times do people launch from a stop?

So unless you are showing off or at the track, it really doesn't make a difference, since you don't use it.

I reserved my Beast on April 2nd, with an anticipated delivery timeframe of Oct- Nov.. Could not wait any longer, and wanted to enjoy the Truck this summer.. Change from Beast to AWD, received VIN same day and picked up Truck 3 days later. Well worth it to me.

And to be honest, I'm almost 40, don't really race anyone to race anymore. I drive in Chill mode most of the time, and just love it. I don't understand this thread to be honest, of course Beast is faster, and if you're looking for speed go for the beast. AWD is plenty fast enough for majority of us. And to be frank, we should all be glad we have this truck, when in reality majority thought we would never see it come to fruition.

If you have to pull out in front of massive traffic, the only answer is a Tesla!

I find it interesting that on a forum of a high-tech early adopter expensive niche, product arguments that the high trim beast doesn’t make sense when the all-wheel-drive version is enough.

It’s not supposed to make sense

It’s the option to have the best, top performance product

automotive history has very successful brands that focus just on this like Ferrari and Porsche where the value proposition is not about logic, it’s about emotion and performance (that’s mostly illegal on public roads if utilized )and having the best available. Same can be said on the luxury side, including Rolls-Royce, Bentley, Mercedes and Range Rover.

So I received my truck about a week ago and have been driving it in "chill" mode this entire time. Tonight a passenger wanted to see how fast it was so I decided to put it in sport to test. I didn't expect much because I know mine was the slower truck, but this thing was brutal, it literally threw us back in our seats and my passenger lost grip of her phone and it landed on the back seat.

I've driven 4 second 0-60 cars before and this felt way faster than any of them. Is Tesla under reporting the dual motor 0-60 to sell more beasts? It feels so unsafe to have that much speed on public roads, I can't imagine the beast being much faster than that. As it is I'm probably never putting my truck in sport mode again.

Dual motor AWD CT is impressively quick, not insanely fast.

There is a difference.

I do think it's funny that Corvette's and other high-end sports cars don't want any from this 6,600+ truk off the line.

Hypercars don't want any from the Beast off the line either.

Truly impressive performance.

Have you drove a gas vehicle since getting your cybertruck? They seem like clown cars after getting use to a CT.

FACTS!

No one is arguing that the beast doesn't make sense, Obviously it's faster. But the fact is I made a post saying the the dual motor in insanely fast (to fast for me) and then people who reserved tri-motors went crazy. Seems like tri-motor reservation holders who haven't even received their trucks yet have some sort of superiority complex.

Like the dual motor is not allowed to be a good car because the tri-motor exists or something. The dual motor is still faster that 99% of cars on the road if speed is something you care about. It's faster than dedicated sports cars.

I have not noticed a superiority complex tone of the beast owners on this forum. I’ve seen more a response as to why people may choose Beast.

No question that the all-wheel-drive is very fast, especially for a truck and people do not need more power. I think the lack of understanding is how much of a difference there is in power between the beast and all-wheel-drive version. It’s a huge difference.

very similar comparison to Tesla model S and the plaid version. S is an extremely fast car plaid is a supercar.

all-wheel-drive cyber truck is a very fast truck beast is a super truck/supercar

Im not seeing many beast owners, throwing shade on the all-wheel-drive version. It’s more of the other way around with a tone of all wheel drive owners are saying anything more would be dangerous or reckless or irresponsible, etc.

both amazing vehicles

lol you need to reread just the thread

I did reread it before I posted this.
That’s my opinion and interpretation.

exact same argument as plaid versus non-plaid model S. There’s a market for both.

Your first problem was classifying the Cybertruck as "a high-tech early adopter expensive niche, product"
It really isn't meant to be that.

Tesla really doesn't present their tech as high-tech, it's much more "right tech". Undoing the "stupid tech" that has come out of Detroit because of "Legacy tech"
Sure, there are parts, but they are to solve problem, not create solutions to problems that don't exist.

Expensive? You evidently haven't looked at the price of pickups lately, have you. The top 4 Ford F-150 trims START at over $70,000. Again START there.

Niche? It's a freaking pickup dude! In the US, that's the most un-niche market that exists.

They change the styling to make it unique.

Tesla has three trim levels to just about every one of their vehicles and the mid-line AWD non-Performance it the best-selling.

My nephew was driving a Nissan Z and considered himself a speed guy. He was looking at a Performance model and I had to tell him not to. Of course he didn't believe me.
UNTIL, I took our Model Y over to him and accelerated up the hill. It blew him away, the performance that a simple mid-line AWD has. Needless to say, he is extremely happy with hi
s AWD Model Y.

What so ironic about this entire conversation, it was IDENTICAL to ones that occurred as the Model 3 was introduced. Because everyone knew that the Model 3 was a "luxury" car because it was so expensive.

i disagree.

it is high tech, expensive, niche, and for early adopters right now. Funny to see these points debated

Not gonna continue debating as your >3300 posts indicate it’s like wrestling with a pig in the mud, after a while you get tired and realize the pig is having fun.

Enjoy your CT though!?

Do you consider your Model 3 "high tech, expensive, niche, and for early adopters"?

That's exactly what people were saying 6 years ago about the Model 3. Did the Model 3 change?

• The Model 3 was basically the first high-selling EV. (Although Leaf did a good job) It was considered a niche product because it was the first mass market.
• The Model 3 at $60k+ was way expensive in its day, up in the world of Mercedes
• The high-tech in the Cybertruck is essentially the exact same as the other Teslas.

Because I’m a safe driver? The speed limit on public roads is 25mph and the highway is 50 mph.

why does anyone need a truck as fast as the awd cybertruck? Much more for the cyberbeast.

I'm a PEOPLE PERSON!
