Eg We have 2 - Love as is overall, this is more about optimizing & making it that much better with an OTA Update

-- Softer / Relaxed = comfortable, works great for taking it easy
-- Harder / Firmer = stiff for corners / agressive driving
Like them both but....

Thinking I would like one or all of the below:

- a Slider to add the ultimate in granular adjustment
- a medium setting - split the difference between soft / firm - I'd probably use this 90% of the time
- An Auto mode that's more dynamic based upon how you are driving eg if im in relaxed and throw it in a series of turns - tighten it up!
- From the custom mode screen you could pick the above options.

Kind of weird, my Model 3 P I ran on MPP Coil Overs on very stiff settings and used as a go cart...but I just cant ride around in beast mode all the time because the truck has all the adjustability to be so damn comfortable that I'm in relaxed mode all the time, but give up handling and that's what im trying to solve by closing the gap between the two!

If I'm bing picky, should also have an Auto Beast Mode if > 85-90% throttle used.....maybe not done because of regulations but can dream!

Should be easily doable for the big T - hope it's comming in a future update!

I never use "Comfort" mode, because it's so damn comfortable and smooth in the sportiest mode.

Tesla hit it out of the park with the ride and handling of this truck capable of packing 2500 lbs. without even breaking a sweat! Even when I have it loaded with more weight than the rear axle is rated for, it handles and rides almost the same as when nothing is in it. I've never driven any other fully loaded truck that felt anything remotely similar to how the same truck drove empty. But the Cybertruck is not even fazed when loaded well above what other trucks are even rated to carry.

Yet the detractors say it's not a work truck, go figure. I think the haters just keep repeating these negatives thinking people are so dumb they won't see through the lies. Yeah, it doesn't look like most people expect a work truck to look, that's it!

It can pack and tow better than any 1/2 ton out there. And isn't that what a truck is for? This basic truth escapes the dumb-dumbs. Then consider it rides better than any of them. In my experience, the more a truck can pack, the worse the ride when taking the woman out on the town. The Cybertruck does both better.

Most trucks are commuters 90% of the time and haulers on occasional weekends. But on those weekends they are very much needed (motorcycle, boat, trailer, etc.).

Most that want a more street truck need only to change wheels and tires, a stiffer and shorter side wall along with more traction does wonders.

If they add a mode, I want "Low Rider", for better mileage on freeways and looking good in parking lots.

I'm working on it - just getting the winter tires now, street tires are next summer!
