I'm buying a Cybertruck!

[resellpanda88]

Save $500 and have 4 spares, you say?

Wait for a deal. You can find the Cyber wheels with tires and tpms for under $1,000, if you are lucky you can get the aero covers included but if not, $1,000 for the wheels without the aero covers are still worth it.

this is a great review, yeah I don't think the AT warrant the price and range and smoothness and noise, I prefer cheaper, smoother quieter. thank you

Sure thing, again it’s not a massive difference, but enough to be noteworthy. Let’s just say if you blindfolded me and stuck me in a random CT I could tell you what tires you had.

Since I own both set of wheels, I think, in my opinion only, the core wheels without the cover looks best out of the two, but if I had to rank them it would be:

1. Core wheels without the covers
2. Cyber wheels with covers
3. Cyber wheels without the covers
4. Core wheels with the covers

I second this list

interesting, core wheels without the cover, have the same range of the core wheels with the cover?

Hello Everyone, nice to be here!
So I'm buying the cybertruck as I have been a long time reservation holder and I never pulled the trigger. I wanted to test drive the car and see some on the road before I make a decision given that I've had many very early versions of Teslas and I'm now grown beyond "being the first kid on the block" to own anything and I wanted to see more things being fixed before I buy something; but yesterday I had the chance to spend two hours with the cybertruck and it was just pure fun it's a phenomenal car and it's an incredibly joy bringing toy.

I have a few questions for this esteemed community:
Did Tesla fix the waterproofing of the bed?
Did Tesla address, the spongy soft feeling of the center screen because my other Teslas don't have that play when you press on them.

What do you guys think about the aggressive thread pattern of the off-road tires versus the all season tires, I tested / drove the off-road ones, but I heard that the all season are softer on the road and more comfortable and less loud. is that true?

Has anyone managed to move their free supercharging from a previous car to the cyber?

What other things should I be aware of before taking delivery of my car? I'm aiming to get it by the end of the quarter which is the end of March.

Many of these things might have been addressed in different threads so I apologize for redundancy.

Stay cool!

I'm not answering your question but I'm putting my 2 cents. I'm buying a CT too but I've been waiting for the $7500 credit. Now that the $7500 is here, my other concern is i believe what I'll get is 2024 instead of 2025 model. Until I read that all the 2024 models are sold, I'll keep holding out. Someone said the 2024 and 2025 are the same but I'm having difficulty believing it. There's got to be an improvement.

I doubt the range is the same without the covers.

I was also waiting for the $7500 credit but decided to buy anyway. They won't sell 2025 models until 2024 models are depleted. But then again the government may shut down the $7500 credit altogether. Unsure at this point.

The bed will never truly be waterproof, but if you want to compare to some real problems, Ram hasn’t been able to fully reliably waterproof the back windows of there trucks either.
The bed of the CT is not meant to be completely waterproof.

Anyone have these yet? Is it possible to buy 5 of them, so as to have a full-size spare?

You had mentioned that the 7,500 credit is there. Are you referring to the Commercial credit? I still do not see the regular income tax credit of 7,500.00 on Tesla's build page. Has this actually been confirmed?

Also for tires, given this beast is my seventh 4x4 truck, well over 1 million miles cumulative, tires are expensive but make sure you buy light truck tires (LT). Most trucks come with passenger car tires on them stock which wear out after 30 miles or so. I have good experience with BF Goodrich T/As, summer/winter doesn't matter. NEVER buy Cooper tires. Truck #6 a Tundra had Coopers on them with only 40k miles on them, when one self destructed after a 3 hour all highway trip, no pothole, and I didn't run over anything, see picture...........

Jumping in to answer your questions...but I'm mostly just echoing everyone else's comments. Hope this still helps.

For context, I took delivery of mine on Dec 10 (52xxx VIN, built in November) with all season tires / core wheels.

1. AT vs AS Tires: I test drove the CT with AT tires. I was surprised that it was quiet. I went with the all seasons bc of the increased range and didn't want to pay an extra $3k for the AT tires. Been super happy with the AS tires.
2. Screen flex: I noticed this on the demo vehicle (it was an earlier Foundation Series build). On mine, there's still some flex compare to my previous Tesla (2020 Model Y) and my wife's 2024 Model 3 but it's not noticeable at all. In fact, I'd say there's less flex in the scren compared to the demo truck.
3. The Bed: mine has been water resistant. I've taken it through an automatic car wash twice and driven in the rain (albeit light to mid rain) and have either had zero drops of water in the bed or just a few drops (all at the front of the bed by the rear window).
   1. I've neer owned a pickup truck before but recently was talking to someone who has a F150 Raptor and he told me he bought one of the high end bed covers and it still leaks like crazy (puddles of water in the bed) so he was super happy to hear the CT only gets a few drops in it.
4. What to look out for during delivery:
   1. If you see "rust" on the stainless steel panels, know that it's not rust. What it is is iron oxidation on the stainless steel. Iron particles get on it during train / rail transport. To get rid of it, use a de-iron solution (Chemical Guys, DIY Detail, etc. all sell these).
   2. Check the rear interior cabin liners around the door frame. A lot of CTs (mine included) have 2-4 little cuts in it. My delivery manager told me it's because the factory puts the wheel covers in the back seat for shipment and they cut into the soft material. Just note it and schedule a service appointment to have it replaced (Tesla says to do this within 100 miles or 48 hours after delivery).

There is one thing to be aware of (if you live in an area that snows): the wiper does not work well when there's salt grime on the road. The wiper will just smear the salt across the windshield. I'm sure Tesla will redesign / fix it in the future.

All that said, this is THE best vehicle I've ever owned. It truly is magical.

The truck is a beast. You will not be disappointed!

WHEELS: These are Falken A/T4W tires on Martian CyberRover wheels. There is a range decrease, but worth it in the winter. For roadtrips, I would probably recommend the AS tires.

SCREEN: I've never noticed any screen flex on mine.

LEAKING: My tonneau leaks a bit, but nothing major. I've taken it through a couple dozen car washes. Only issue there is with the AT tires and aero covers, the covers on the left of the truck can catch on the tracks leading into the car wash.

 

[Seekmastery]

I got my beast with the all seasons and love it! I used my $2500 shop voucher on the winter tire package ($3000) and got another set of rims with aggressive winter tires on it now. A little noisier and less range, but feel way more comfortable bad weather with these. They look great on here too. Will switch back in the spring. Best of both worlds.

Use January 1, 2025 date drop down. Tesla website should update as soon as they can but like I said, the government might strike it down and they don't want to flip flop on the $7500 to buyers.
