I'VE OWNED MY CYBERTRUCK FOR 1 YEAR! HERE'S WHAT I LOVE & HATE ABOUT IT

EV Channels Review

After one year and nearly 27,000 miles, the Out of Spec Cybertruck (Tri Motor) remains a polarizing yet fascinating vehicle. The reviewer expresses a genuine love for its unique design, impressive sound system, and the exhilarating Baja mode, which transforms its driving dynamics for spirited use. The exportable power capability is also highlighted as a significant advantage, offering nearly 10kW of output. However, this enthusiasm is tempered by significant drawbacks. Reliability has been a major concern, with the truck requiring seven service visits, including issues with the windshield wiper, door bolts, throttle pedal, alignment, and persistent rattles. The battery pack's capacity is deemed too small, leading to slow charging performance despite a high peak rate. Furthermore, the reviewer notes that the Tri Motor's predominantly front-wheel-drive bias in normal mode results in an intrusive and unrefined daily driving experience, with a noticeable clunk over bumps. The inability to activate Baja mode while moving and the mandatory use of FSD (instead of basic Autopilot) are also cited as annoyances. Despite these issues, the reviewer maintains a soft spot for the Cybertruck's uniqueness and advanced service diagnostics.
