A review of my new Cybertruck.

Finally took delivery of my Cybertruck. Giving my initial review of the new addition to the fleet.

[@ScottJones67]

I have 4000 miles on my AWD Cybertruck now. I was one of those 1127xx reservations in GA. I ordered in Dec and did not take delivery until the end of April. I drive 40 miles through ATL to get to work 15-20 days a month. We also took a road trip to NJ to visit family. The truck has had zero issues so far. I have done the same 2000 mile round trip drive to NJ in a Model 3 and Model Y.... The cybertruck is a far better traveling machine. As you mentioned it is crazy quiet inside and the air suspension with huge tires is incredibly smooth on the highway. It is my favorite cross country machine. I think Elon intentionally withheld FSD to make all of us fall in love with steer by wire and driving the Cybertruck.

[@OMGcarguy]

Scott, that’s a theory if I ever heard one. LOL. But I totally agree I love driving this thing. It’s unlike any other Tesla ever. Too much to quantify and perhaps the only way for people to understand is to drive any other Tesla model and the CT back to back to feel the quality in difference. That said, I would prefer to drive it than to let FSD take over. For now at least. Maybe traffic on the fwy might be the few times I’d use FSD. Congrats on your CT!

Hey James! Saw your truck up around PV before I got mine. Thanks for the review! I also didn't care for the steering wheel at first, but now I love it. I typically drive one-handed with my hand in the middle of the top flat part. I still have enough leverage to make a turn. My big negative is that it barely fits in my garage...literally it touches the back and the garage door at the same time. Makes parking it very tricky! Anyway, I'm over by the PV Art Center, hope to see you around.

[@OMGcarguy]

Hey Michael, nice to meet you. How are you liking your CT so far? I normally drive with my hand resting at the 12 position as well. But moving from a round wheel to the flat position in the CT does feel a little weird. My go to in the CT is at the 10 now and it feels natural. For sure it’s a big truck and it’s interesting to think that Tesla actually shrunk the dimensions from the original design before production. Imagine how big that one was. Are you planning to wrap yours?

[@michaelkim3432]

@@OMGcarguy Many cool wrap options out there, but still haven't seen the one that is screaming "take my money" yet. Trying to avoid going black since that's gotta be the most popular option. Wife and I are talking to a graphic artist that does amazing geometric work, maybe go full custom. Not in any hurry tho. CT drives like a dream, looking for excuses to go drive it. Hit me up if you hear of a CT meet up, would love to join.

[@OMGcarguy]

@@michaelkim3432 I'm seeing so many colors out there it's hard to narrow down to one. And even just the stainless finish isn't bad either. I can see doing a clear wrap to let its original finish come through. Haven't heard of a get to together outside of that one that happened in TX not too long ago.

[@BolianAdmiral]

I recognized your neighborhood from my job at Domino’s, lol. I’ve seen a few Cybertrucks around PV and my area in Torrance. I know where the Torrance one lives, and I’ve seen a second Cybertruck other than yours in another PV neighborhood. There’s also a Cybertruck for sale at Audi Pacific on Hawthorne Boulevard. I’m in the middle regarding the design, but I do admit it has a very sizable presence in person.

[@OMGcarguy]

I can see why the design may not work for all, but it’s undeniably unique. Very much like how the Delorean still captivates the audience whether good or bad. It’s still a design that stuns people in real life. I personally think the CT is just that but on steroids. On that note, I’ve seen a few now in the local area. Probably 6 different CTs or so? Hard to say because they come in the stainless steel finish and I can’t tell if I’m seeing the same truck over and over again or if they’re all different owners. But to date I’ve seen them about 6 times since the release…so still not too often.

[@MisterHaynes99]

that middle open space is to hold your to go food you just picked up for the ride to the house

[@OMGcarguy]

LOL. Not a bad place considering the trunk would allow to food to fly everywhere.

[@George_Shonia]

thanks for not showing us the bed of the truck & frunk & all the things that literally every one of the cybertruck viewer does, instead giving us your thoughts, thank you one more time.

[@Neji1984]

What do you do for a living?

[@2024CorvetteE-Ray]

Have you charged to 100% yet? I'm wondering how close your range is to the 340 Tesla claims. My current Tesla cars all are about 5 to 9 miles lower. Thanks

[@OMGcarguy]

I have not yet. It’s been 80% so far which is around 254 I think. Probably won’t need to charge it until a longer road trip comes into play. 80% is more than plenty for day to day use.

[@2024CorvetteE-Ray]

Congrats. I actually canceled my order, but after starting to watch your video...I'm thinking maybe I'll grab one again. I am gonna wait for the RWD version though, because I have other Tesla's already.

[@OMGcarguy]

It’s a personal decision and what you’re comfortable with in your purchase. Obviously this pertains to all things and especially something as expensive as this truck. For me the decision was rather easy. Subjectively I just love tech but on an automotive level I love anything that has an interesting design. And IMO the CT has to be one of the most fascinating designs in the last decade. I also live in an area with hills so the dual motor made sense. Didn’t need to go 0-60 in under 3 seconds with the Cyberbeast and didn’t want to wait until 2025 or beyond for the RWD one. What also helped was the aging Escalade that I had which I sold and put towards this purchase. But no wrong answers here. I will say when you get yours you will love it.

[@BolianAdmiral]

I’ve also seen a Hummer EV up in PV… another physically imposing vehicle.

[@OMGcarguy]

Yup, seen a few of those too. I was going to purchase one but between the games the dealers were playing and some lacking tech features I decided to wait for the CT. Plus, the Hummer EV takes more batteries to achieve roughly the same mileage which means it’s way more expensive to charge.

You're rich❤❤❤

[@OMGcarguy]

Hard work and some luck along the way 😉
