DON'T BUY A CYBERTRUCK UNTIL YOU'VE SEEN THIS INTERVIEW

EV Channels Review

This interview with a Cybertruck owner, KobraToldYa, reveals a nuanced perspective on Tesla's polarizing electric pickup. While the owner initially disliked the design, he reserved one immediately, driven by a desire for an electric truck. Key dislikes center on the significant inconvenience of frequent service center visits due to various issues, the constant battle with fingerprints on the stainless steel exterior (leading to an immediate wrap), and the negative public reaction, including being flipped off and having a drink thrown at the vehicle. The lack of integrated garage door openers (HomeLink) and the absence of a rear camera in the small, inadequate rearview mirror are also cited as frustrating oversights on a $100,000 vehicle. On the positive side, the owner loves the unique, futuristic design, the spacious interior comfortable for his family, and the conversation-starting aspect of the truck. He highlights the steer-by-wire and rear-wheel steering as groundbreaking, making the large vehicle surprisingly nimble and fun to drive, effectively bridging the gap between truck utility and sporty car performance. The air suspension is praised for its smooth ride, though customization of ride height is desired. The owner also expresses enthusiasm for Tesla's role in pushing EV technology forward, impacting even the RV industry.
