Keep hope but you got a Mid to Late 2024 notice when you ordered right? I did at 1/13 config…. The 12/8 folks got Early 2024 I believe…

Waiting impatiently….

On Wednesday of last week, I got the email with a VIN number, and they scheduled my delivery for Friday the 29th. I did not see the email until about 1 PM. I then realized I missed several phone calls from Tesla. I put them off until Saturday, partly because I didn't think I could get all the arrangements done (financing, insurance, etc.) but mostly because I wasn't sure I would complete the purchase! Over the following two days, everything fell into place; my wife and I decided "YOLO," and we picked up the Cyberbeast on Saturday (3/30).

I will point out that I have never owned or even driven an EV before. We tried to soak up as much information as possible at the delivery, but I think many Tesla buyers must be repeat Tesla owners, and the delivery experience is streamlined to suit that audience. When I drove away from the parking lot, the rear end felt like the lug bolts were loose and shifted as I turned sharply. After the initial shock, I surmised it was the rear wheel steering, so I made some full lock turns in an empty section of the parking lot to get used to the feel.

We were surprised at how many people in North Austin ignored the Cybertruck. At stoplights, we considered yelling, "Hey buddy, a spaceship is parked next to you!" That changed over the weekend as we made our way through some of the Texas Hill Country. It was a big hit at Luckenbach, Texas. South Austin, where we live, is still very enamored with it.

The first time I "punched it" was funny. On 620, we found ourselves at the front at a red light. An elderly couple in a Tesla Model 3 pulled up next to us, and we exchanged smiles and waves. When the light turned green, I accelerated normally, and my wife let out, "Punch it!" So I did. She was still leaning forward to smile at the couple next to us; she was quickly slammed back into her seat, she let out a roller coaster-like scream as her stylish cowboy hat flew to the back of the cabin, and we were gone in a flash!

I looked like an idiot trying to figure out the Supercharger the first time. I thought it would be more complicated, but it was really that simple.

I did the Launch Mode - holy sh*t! I'm sure I heard the tires wrinkle like a dragster on that one. The onscreen graphics are too cool during that event.

Altogether, it was an amazing weekend, with 270 miles driven and a thrill every minute. What an incredible machine—way more than I was expecting! If you get the chance to buy one, DO IT!

Congratulations and welcome to the Tesla family! :)

I hope you were in BEAST mode when you punched it, if not, you still have not unleashed it's power.

I took my beast delivery on the 31st, it is just an amazing vehicle. As for the beast mode, it literally scared me how fast it goes...

Once again, congrats! :)

Nice pics BTW

You just got me even more excited about my purchase (if that's even possible lol)! Thank you for sharing. I'll just be over here living vicariously through you until mine gets delivered!

You would be amazed how full of tech it is and yet, how minimalistic the inside it... my wife and son both are enjoying the back seats too much.. the back screen is new to me.

That's great I had the same thing happen with me. Wednesday go the call to pick up my beast on Friday, but I had them move to Saturday and got it at the church over by moonlight nursery. We had a hail storm last night over here in Lakeway and it survived it no problem. This truck is so much fun to drive its like a non-automotive feel to it. If you want some attention take it the home depot in Bee Cave.

I am in South Austin. I was worried about the possibility of hail last night, so I put my F450 in the carport, my wife's Honda Pilot in the garage, and the Cyberbeast outside in the driveway. :D

Too funny - I had a very similar experience debating whether to move forward with our 1 week old Beast, and like you was won over by the YOLO factor. I know I would have regretted it if I passed…but ask me again after the first round of price cuts :)
