This truck is the future

The easy driving experience, the sound system and the continuous updates are the top features of the Cybertruck. The 48-volt architecture, the ethernet loop and the adaptive-four-wheel-drive-by-wire steering are the features we will see in nearly all cars over time.

What Edmonds Got Wrong about this Truck

Highlights: Steer by Wire - The number one thing the Edmonds reviewers got wrong on this truck. I don't want to drive/own another vehicle that has steer by wire. The truck is easy to maneuver, and yes, the steering feels responsive. To execute a full turn at slow speeds is max 270 degrees of steering wheel rotation, and fine movement is better than any truck I've driven. At highway speed it tracks, and fine movement is not "jittery" as they describe. Supervised FSD - Yes, it's on the truck now and is another feature I'm not going to own a vehicle w/o. Long drives and navigating cities that I'm not familiar with is where it shines. The attention monitoring system is solid, and I'm more attentive while its in use. The system is weighted to deter phone usage while driving, and if you check your phone for more than a moment, it will disengage. Basically, pay attention, and the vehicle will do a competent job of navigating a variety of environments. Ride - Another winner on this truck. My father who is an old school long time F150/F250 owner, who hates EVs btw, couldn't say enough about the quality of the ride. Its the one factor that won him over. The air suspension, and its adjustability is a plus. When you park, it can lower to "entry mode" making it easier for people to get in and out of it but can raise to 16" of ground clearance when you need it. You also have things like offroad settings to play with ride/height/power to wheel distribution/locking differentials. I don't do overlanding or off-roading, but it works fine on washed out roads in our rural county. Infotainment and in car software systems - This is another head scratcher from Edmonds. CarPlay? Systems like CarPlay are Band-Aids for bad in car systems. Rivian and Tesla both get this right and make something like CarPlay/android auto pointless. Once you're in a modern vehicle software system, you'll understand. Another feature that isn't commonly discussed is Service Mode. You have access to a detailed diagnostic/service menu for the vehicle with code history and system information that just doesn't exist on other vehicles w/o dealer diagnostic tool. It is an advanced menu, and I strongly suggest being careful when in it, but its there for those of you who want more information. Basically, you get a modern in car operating system, something that only one other truck comes close to, Rivian. The truck is also going to constantly update adding or improving features over the life of it. The Bed - Its bigger than what people think, and you can put full size sheets of plywood or sheetrock in it. The metal automatic lockable tonneau cover is best in class for all trucks, EV or ICE, tie downs are plentiful. There are also a nice built in light bars, so you have great visibility at night. I would like a step-up feature on the tailgate. The "reaching over the side" issue isnt the problem people make it out to be. I can't reach into the back of most jacked up trucks from the ground. Towing - Range isn't great while towing but fits my use case (less than 150 miles round trip). I wouldn't buy an EV truck if towing is your primary purpose for the truck. Where is shines is handling while towing. It's easy to forget you are pulling a trailer or boat with this truck. Another, you have to try it to understand. Sound System - A+, might be on the best stock in car sound systems I've been in. Comfort - Seats are comfortable, head and leg room are good for all passengers. 6'6" and up starts to get close to the roof. Controls - The most common actions you would take, adjusting climate, volume, input, wipers, navigation, etc. can be done from the steering wheel or with voice (which is best in class). I rarely use the screen while driving. I understand why Edmunds might say everything is done on screen because of lack of familiarity with the controls when doing a short test. Cons - Rear view mirror - Tesla should have included a digital rear view mirror. This was a big miss. I've already installed an aftermarket one. However, its not for the reasons you might think. Highway driving is the one place where I miss the rearview mirror, and there is a rear-view mirror that is present on the main screen, but its not detailed enough (they have addressed this in recent updates). Its not an issue for backing the truck, maneuvering is tight places, and hooking up to a trailer because you get a full screen feed from the front/back and side cameras, along with tesla vision overhead view when doing these things. Its better visibility than traditional mirrors. Tesla/Elon/EV hate - I'm tired of answer questions or talking about Elon. I don't care about your politics, whether you like or dislike EVs, etc. This was an issue in the first few months of owning the truck, but a lot less rare now. The Looks - Not for everyone, but I have a special place in my heart for things that are different. This is personal preference. I wills say, I get far more positive comments than negative one. Kids especially love it. I've had zero issues in the 6 months of ownership. I did take it in for the wiper recall, but mine worked fine. Tesla Service was easy, communicated well, and fast.

Nothing like it on the road

Amazing vehicle, my build quality has been excellent 2,000+ miles plus on the Odometer already. It's a vehicle that has been made to turn the automotive industry on it's head. Finally something different on the road.

Hands down, best vehicle I've ever driven. Acceleration always puts a smile on my face, and 4WS+SbW is life-altering.
