Same range. Same 0–60. Same motors. So what does the extra $10K for the Premium @Cybertruck actually get you?
6 months in, here's my honest take:
Sound: I could live with 7 speakers, but nothing beats the Premium system.
Air suspension: Set to auto, it lifts and lowers on its own and I never think about it.
Vault: Used all the time. Spare charger and car cleaning supplies live in there.
Rear screen: My nephew/nieces use it daily and girlfriend uses it on long trips with the dogs.
Seats: Cloth runs cooler in Phoenix, but the leather just feels better. The ventilated seats even work through my seat covers.
Light bar: It's the light bar. Enough said.
Towing: Haven't towed anything yet, so the 11,000 lb rating hasn't mattered for me.
Would I pay the extra $10K again?
Only if I knew I'd really use the differentials between the two. At the end of the day, a Cybertruck is a Cybertruck.
Base or Premium, which would you pick?
Tesla now has slightly more robotaxis registered in Texas than Waymo, 1,302 to 1,297.
Registered doesn't mean giving rides yet.
Here in Phoenix, Waymo is everywhere.
Would you ride in a Tesla robotaxi over a Waymo?
I know my answer.
Tesla has just officially surpassed Waymo in the total number of robotaxis registered to date in Texas for the first time.
• Tesla: 1,302
• Waymo: 1,297
Tesla just added another 20 Model Ys.
2026 Cybertruck Premium | FSD v14.3.13 (2026.38.5.11)
Having ongoing FSD and safety system errors tied to the cameras.
Service says it’s a firmware problem they can’t fix and have no ETA for. FML
It kicks out every drive. Last time was mid left-hand turn in an intersection. Not interested in resetting the system every time I drive.
Who else is seeing this on the same version? Is it common, and does anyone know if a fix is actually coming? Seems extremely critical to me.
Thoughts?

An open offer to Tesla: We fully support putting Cybercab first, and we’d be glad to take the Cybertruck line off your hands.
We’d fund it with a consortium of investors and run it at no cost to Tesla’s floor space, headcount, or focus. All of that goes to Cybercab. Cybercab gets first call on battery cells too. We’ll wait our turn.
Tesla gains incremental profit: a license fee, plus FSD and Robotaxi network revenues on every vehicle built.
We’d build the Cybertruck, a three-row CyberSUV, and an unmanned CyberCargo hauler. More autonomous miles, across every surface of this planet and beyond.
Worth a conversation?
