I love this truck. If you know, you know.

@Crissa ….. am I asking or expecting too much?

Over 6k miles, no regrets. Wish some of the interior elements were a bit quieter but the techs are working on fixes. Wireless charging pads are basically useless so I use a MaBak charger (have in our other two teslas too).
cannot wait for FSD to come to the truck. Have taken 12.4.3 for a spin a few times this week. Can literally go for hours without touching anything.

Would like to get a consensus of opinions from owners who have had their CT for over a month now?

I love the car but have friends looks to sell saying it’s too big for an everyday day.

Curious to hear others opinions.

Best vehicle I’ve ever driven, much less owned. Very very happy with it.

It's just a funny thing to complain about. And some have been able to return trucks for cause, so... it's not exactly sight unseen. And it"s standard for Tesla to sell cars without test drives. They were doing that when we put our reservations down.

Yeah, it's not customer friendly. Yeah, it's not as good as their original return policy. But it's not unique to the Cybertruck or novel when the truck was announced.

If you just want to make it so it doesn't charge should be a matter of finding the right material / thickness of material (ideally black so it's not noticeable) to put down in the holder and put your phone on top of. Someone should make an insert. Or figure a way to unplug / disable the inductive charging.

Personally I have an android galaxy in a TPU case and don't have much issue and it charges great. Occasionally gets a little warm but I just move it to the cup holder for a bit. Don't need to do that often though.

Just some thoughts...

I have not noticed any heating to speak of in my phone. I have a Galaxy S21 Ultra in an Otterbox case. Makes me wonder if the thicker case is somehow resulting in less loss in the phone. I expect this makes the transfer over-all less efficient, but if the phone has clamping diodes on the coils for protection that could explain why local heating in the phone is reduced with more air gap. Maybe folks with phones that get hot can also try different thickness pads.

I spent the last 10 years making fun of Teslas. Bashing them as kids RC cars etc. The cyber truck is my first… and it’s completely changed my pov. For what it is and what I hoped itd be it is perfect. It’s a very good ride and very utilitarian. And fun.

Yeah had it since April 24th. My first truck and no issues at all and never even thought about being too big. Really easy to drive and park anywhere. Yeah absolutely love it.

I love it. 5k miles in. Only complaint is I don't like the wireless phone chargers and haven't found a great way to set my phone on it to bypass the wireless charger and keep the phone from moving around. 3rd party mounts haven't worked well.

The steering is single best part of the truck and makes it easy to drive and park despite its size.

You only live once, if you can afford the truck get it. It's innovative and is a portable reminder to the rest of the world you don't care for their opinion and you are not interested in the conventional. 10+ years from now having such an iconoclastic truck will be an awesome memory. You won't readily remember any other vehicle you buy instead. It also is not a sacrifice in features or ride quality. It is a smooth, functional, luxurious, damn nice truck.

There is little device that blocks any charge.

It’s so good to hear everyone is loving this amazing vehicle

I actually make up a reason every day just to be able to drive it. Love it!!!

Every time I open my garage door I feel like Ferris Bueller when he sees the Ferrari ? Oh yeah!

I have the overheating issue as well (iPhone 15 Pro Max).

You can’t see the screen in this orientation of course, but I place the phone ‘screen down’ in the charger pocket.

Keeps the phone handy and below the melting point of titanium, haha!!

Love it. The only gripe I can really bring up is that the mirrors make a fair amount of noise and vibration at high freeway speeds. If your knee is resting against the door you really feel it... that's it. That's all...

I love my Cybertruck, after only 2.5 months still earning and exploring capabilities, but I will never forget the experience of owning my 2013 Model S P85, especially since I still have it and still love it. ?

It should be up to the phones to manage how much power they draw like any other device. Apple needs to fix this, not Tesla.
