Elon Fan-boy. Last of the Boomers. Rule #1: Let's have fun! Why so serious?? Conservative on some things, liberal on others. (My profile pic is per Grok)
Day 2 with the CyberTruck AWD - Delivery Experience and Initial Impressions
Delivery Experience:
- Tesla Long Beach, CA
- Staff was friendly, smiles and handshakes
- But the car was "cleanish", not clean
- One guy talked with me for 2 minutes about the truck, but he seemed to not know a lot about what's supposed to come with it
- And that was it. They said I could drive the car over to the dirty red carpet so we could take some selfies (which we did).
- The fanfare with the smoke machine, the music, etc. - that's all over with now. This was more like "your car's over there, congratulations! bye!"
Initial Impressions (Day 2):
- Damn, this thing is BIG! First truck for me (unless you count the Wrangler)
- Quick learning curve coming from a Model Y
- Steer by wire takes like 2 minutes to adjust to
- At first I felt that the steering wheel was too small, but now I love it!
- Being a city boy I like driving in the low position, which is still much taller than a car
- So quiet! As soon as you shut the door you can hear the difference
- Not as fast as my MYP, but definitely fast enough
- Ride's like butter. How did they do this?
- 4WS is awesome; truck feels like it's half the size
- Barely fits in my garage! Touches the front and the back with garage door closed. Guess I'm gonna need a bigger house!
- Tech is superior to any other car out there
- Missed opportunity to not have a pass-thru rear window. Will someone in the aftermarket please fix this!?
- In Socal, people seem to already be used to seeing Cybertrucks. I know I was seeing at least one a day in the wild. So if you are an attention-whore, you will need to move on to the next "it" car, cuz it seems that this one is already getting yawns on the street.
Thank you to @elonmusk, @woodhaus2 , @larsmoravy, and the entire Tesla team including all the awesome folks at Gigafactory Austin for building such a unique and fantastic vehicle. No other company on the planet could've pulled this off!
@data_republican How can anybody truly dedicated to solving the weaknesses in our election system just kick the can down the road when the opportunity to fix it is right in front of them? He's a fraud!
@mcrs987 Wonder what the point of letting S40 just drift on is? Certainly by now SpaceX has all the data that they need and possibly valuable physical samples...so why not punch the FTS button?
@Super70sSports Ah what memories! In my house it was either mercurochrome or iodine, and somehow my parents would be able to determine which medicine was best for different injuries or ailments. They weren't medically trained...at all.
@TeslaPatriot Last of the "analog" Benzes, the R129 was one of designer Bruno Sacco's very best! I had a silver on black with a panorama glass top. They don't make 'em like this anymore!
