It ended up dying completely and the ford still worked

The Cyber Truck is not meant for the type of punishment he put it through, it's a status vehicle, there are a ton of them here, and 99 percent of them are wrapped, washed everyday and never do even one day of work. The F-150 has been around forever, and was built as a workhorse. My cousin owns a construction company, buys trucks for his company, and laughed when I joked about him using a Cyber Truck on a job site. He laughed at me, not with me.

Keep in mind that this is a first gen product, they will get better over time. If you compare the first gen Model 3 (2018) and Model Y (2020), almost no comparison to the newer models. My friend bought the first gen Model 3 and it was harsh, and loud. And don't let me get into the panel gaps, lose trim, etc. Another friend has a 2020 Model 3 Performance, very harsh and loud on bad roads. Just test drove the 2024 Model 3 Performance, and it's night and day in every way. It's even quieter and smoother than his M4 Comp. Now it has adaptable suspension, bolstered seats, and it pulls forever, unlike the previous Model 3 Performance, which begins to pull back after 70 MPH

No vehicle was intended for the things he put those trucks through.

I posted this video a few days ago and it got pulled by a mod to prevent a gas vs ev war. I think this was a fair comparison

Especially the Cyber Truck. The stainless steel outer panels are meant to protect it from dings, minor accidents, keying and errant shopping carts, not dropping it off a mountain of pipes 😮. It's a status symbol, nothing more...at least this revision of it. But I'm pretty sure Elon watches these and takes notes

Tesla seems to have already ran through the over 2 million preorders. People placing deposits as late as July and already receiving invites to order.

Tesla haven't even sold 50k units yet. Although it might just be most buyers are waiting on the non foundation series. We may hear an announcement sooner than later that non foundation CTs will begin production.

Foundation series was supposed to end this quarter, but supposedly has been pushed back late 2024 now. I bet Tesla is taking later deposits first if they are for the CyberBeast instead of a lower package.

It's new for the Model 3, yes. Model 3 and Y has always been Tesla's appliance cars, competing with Camry, Accord and RAV4. Tesla has had all these features in the Model S at X since the beginning. It's a $55k car, brand new, I don't think you are going to find anything at that price brand new that can compete with it. The new Model 3 Performance is Tesla's new "mini Model S", which is why it now has a similar badge to the Plaid. I've already spent a lot of time with it, and so has a lot of reviewers, and it's has solid build quality.

My Y is proof enough that Tesla quality is not even an issue anymore. 20k on it since I bought it last May, it's our most driven car and it's been as solid as any Toyota or Lexus I've ever owned

I posted it in car chat. Maybe it’s better suited in this thread instead. If not, my bad

If you watched it you would see I’m not always posting videos of the Tesla truck projected in a negative light like you stated.

i skimmed it just now... it would be helpful if you give some text as to what a video is about when posting.

as for the video... typical TFL nonsense. dragging a skid steer / massive trailer for a 10,500 load up a mountain is something almost no one will do.
