Would anyone worry about using valet parking with the cybertruck? With the drive by wire, the valets may not know how or have enough first hand experience to even know how to handle it. Thoughts? Sandy says it scared the hell out of him trying to maneuver in a parking ramp.

FSD = self-valet?

Hopefully the stainless steel, 1.8 mm exoskeleton will provide some protection for the first few dings. Also the hub caps extend beyond and protect the rims - unlike the M3

You mean that valets who park gazillions of cars all with different steering speeds will somehow be unable to drive one with another different steering speed?
All the review/articles I've read so far have been mild surprise and getting used to it - not OMG I JUST NEARLY CRASHED THIS HUGE TRUCK. :cool:

Variable steering again is not something new, BMW had it for over a decade.

While the CT is not a 3.5-million-dollar Ferrari, (though, it would be to me!), mistakes do happen.... supposedly this valet did not know how to put the hyper car in park .

Maybe just slip the valet a couple of "Jacksons" and self-park up front... and keep your key card.

Valets are pretty quick adapting to new models. - former valet
My definition of "experience" is something you get five minutes after you needed it.

Yeah... I did curb rash the first AWS Honda the first time I pulled away from the curb. It unexpectedly tracked itself right up onto the curb when turned to lock. ?

Yeah, call me crazy but I'd prefer a valet didn't cut his teeth on drive by wire on my new cybertruck
