I do have to say, the core wheels are really growing on me. I’m pretty sure they’re far less prone to ”ripping” off. I have lost two caps since Nov 2025.

Everyone says how large the Cybertruck is. I don't get it. It is shorter and fits my garage better than my 2014 crew cab Silverado did.

I think it’s coming from CT owners who haven’t owned a truck before - such as myself.

To me it is my Lamborghini Countach poster on my wall as a kid… in real life.. finally

I just did a tire rotation and 2 of the covers had a rattle in them, Tesla swapped them out for new ones. Had they not been swapped, they may have flown off at some point. I have just shy of 12,000 miles on it so far.

It was love at first sight for me on 11/21/19

Glad you’re loving yours. I’ve had mine about 10 months now and still can’t help but smile every time I walk into my garage.

For me as well! I tell everyone if I weren’t an old lady, I would’ve had 4 kids until I got mine.

To be fair, the media and the army of Tesla haters had a hand in the misinformation people have about the Cybertruck. Since the Cybertruck was first announced back in 2019, there has been a cacophony of false narratives and misinformation.

In early 2024, as the first Cybertrucks started to trickle out into real owner's hands, the narrative that the real world range was only 150-200 miles spread like wildfire (and many actually believed it). Now many of us know it's easy to get 300 miles if you drive at more reasonable speeds or are on secondary highways.

And then there was all the "unsafe at any speed" narratives. No crumple zone. Unusable bed, can't do real work, terrible in the snow, incapable off-road, etc. etc, etc. Actual owners know all of those narratives are false, but most people do not. They are like sheeple.

It's hard to fathom just how well the Cybertruck drives and how convenient and comfortable it is to use daily, or even on a long road trip, or how good the stereo sounds, or how damage resistant the shiny body is, when all you have heard is it's cheaply made and poorly designed (I mean, just look at it!), poorly engineered, unreliable and inefficient.

Let's just count ourselves as being in an elite club of people who have had their reality shattered by actual first-hand use of the truck in question, even more so if you have taken it on off-road trails that challenge other 4x4 trucks. I'm just blown away every time I drive it.

Cheers!

I agree. Here is added reason I love my CT: A little over a week ago I was driving my CT in the left lane of a four lane (two each way) when I heard and felt an impact. A Chevy SUV had pulled out of a drive in restaurant, across his lane and hit me in the passenger side rear quarter. It scuffed the rear part of the back door, tore loose the plastic wheel well trim, the mounting plastic underneath, and damaged the wheel cover. His insurance will pay, and I just got the estimate of about $1300.00; parts will be less than $175.00. The rest is for labor estimated to take a lot of time to buff out the rear door and quarter panel so the scuff marks don’t show. There is absolutely NO deformation of the much maligned glued on stainless steel. It’s in place as snug as ever. The left front of the other car was a mess; some parts lying in the street; other parts shoved over toward the passenger side, etc.; drivable but that’s about all. If it had been our model Y or any similar car it would undoubtedly have ruined the rear door and quarter panel, and probably never been quite the same. Without buffing, or DIY working on the hardly noticeable scuff/scratches, (no wrap for me thanks) I could have easily replaced the plastic trim pieces for less than a couple hundred dollars. A few plastic fasteners, 8 screws, and a new wheel cover would have it done.

SAAAMMME. I'm glad they didn't follow through with the door handles. The push-release is far more satisfying.

Have any pics of your truck and the Chevy after the accident? Curious just to see...

It’s smaller in every dimension than my last truck (2014 Tundra)

Wow! You and I have a lot in common then. My last privately owned truck was also a 2014 Toyota Tundra. I have driven multiple corporate trucks duirng the time I still owned the Tundra, like 1500 Dodge Rams, etc., but anyway, you are rigfht that the CT is around the same size. Still doesn't fit in my garage but neither would any other 1/2 ton rated (or above) truck either.

Fortunately, it wasn’t a serious accident - as you can see. But I think it shows that the CT is a lot tougher than the average vehicle. Even my former truck, a Chevy Silverado 4x4, would have had a lot more (expensive) damage. The “skuffing” is barely visible in the pic showing the rocker fairing. A lot of the damage to the front of the other vehicle is not visible. I should have taken more pics.

Maybe it’s because I’ve owned pickup trucks for nearly 20 years, but I don’t even think it’s “big” per se. When its ride height is on low, It’s smaller in every dimension than my last truck (2014 Tundra) and probably most Ford/Chevy/Rams out there. Not sure why so many people seemed concerned about it, it’s just truck sized.

If people wanted a glorified sedan with an open air trunk like the Maverick, yeah I guess the size was a disappointment. It’s smaller than the unveiling numbers, though, so they only had a 5 year heads up that this thing was an actual truck.

Exactly- It's a full size crew cab truck with a locking bed .... and It's just super fast, safe, exciting. Fun to be driven around or drive - after 13 months it still puts a smile on my face -

Was concerned when I bought the CT, since it was my first EV. Best vehicle I've ever purchased and the easiest to drive. I'm 79 YOA and not that technically astute, but the technology and simplistic approach to the CT is a true marvel in my mind. CT haters just don't know what they are missing.

This is the sort of story I love to hear!
