Even though the CT lost to the Porsche and I think Tesla should have been more forthcoming, the testers are certainly impressed with the CT.

Cybertruck is a scam.

It seems like you have been affected. Don’t buy the cyber truck.
I agree the cyber truck is not worth it. If it met any of the specs talked about at the launch event, I’d be more excited. But now it’s just a weird hunk of metal.
Get a Rivian. Or a model X.
Enough of the irrelevant ICE comparisons. There are other EV Trucks out there. Compare it to that.

Echo's my thoughts about the Cybertruck. Its not ready for production and some of you are being used as test mules and have spent a lot of your hard earned money for the privilege of being a Tesla tester. A darn shame if you ask me.
I can't help but feel they rushed this to the market and then a lot of people drank the Tesla Kool-aid.
I confess, I would have wanted one too if I had been in line early enough and they were not charging a $20,000 markup. No interest now though.

That’s the way Tesla builds cars, unfortunately. Every single new model has this launch/early production problem. Everything comes out half-baked. Better to wait 12-18 months for them to redesign all the bad decisions out. And then what you have let is the car itself to evaluate.
TSLA also needs to add more standard creature comforts. It's been a short cut they've gotten away with for too long. They've pocketed the profits from that for too long. Odd they even tried it with the $100k CT.
Problem is they really don't. Those of us who have experienced Tesla know they can really cut corners. But most people who don't hang out on forums like this wouldn't realize that the cybertruck was half-assed as much as it was. Especially since it was released in a worse state than pretty much every other Tesla to date.
Not sure why you think I’m giving Tesla a pass on their piss-poor quality. I’ve been quite vocal about it. I try not to be too over-the-top negative and not use phrases such as piss-poor and just let Tesla’s quality speak for itself without making excuses or praise he who does not need praising, but there you have it. Thanks for reading this post.
Other words that come to mind... Fail. Turd. Scam. Excretion. Poorly built fridge. Musk really screwed this one up.
Yes… just awful. They aren’t ramping production or anything.
That just means more disappointed people and more bad press for a company that can ill afford either.Yes… just awful. They aren’t ramping production or anything.
Do share your amazing wisdom. I can assume you owned, drove, rented a Cybertruck based on your expert opinion.
Tesla created a false narrative when they did this Drag Race. No one will ever use a single Axle Trailer to transport a vehicle on. Use a proper Car/Equipment Trailer to do the Drag Race.

I see mostly tons of great press about the CT and people very happy with it. Tesla is getting millions (tens of millions? hundreds of millions?) of dollars of free publicity. Clearly, they have created a free publicity flywheel. Whether this was dumb luck or part of a plan, it is obviously good for Tesla.
For example, Kara and Nate tried one. They have a popular YouTube channel that is mostly about travel but they also try camping out in "weird" vehicles.

Near the end of the video Nate was asked if he would ever buy a Cybertruck in the future, if not then which RV would he buy. Nate said:
If I just needed a car and money didn't matter I would 100% buy the Cybertruck.
I just don't see how getting the Cybertruck splashed all over the internet for free along with impartial people expressing delight over it is bad for Tesla. There are also haters. P. T. Barnum said "there's no such thing as bad publicity". It's not clear to me that the controversy, whether sincere or not, is actually bad for Tesla.It was stupid for Tesla to have done that. Just gives the haters fuel to point to that and purposely ignore the positive. Or maybe smart because then it gets spread around and more people see it. But I’m personally no fan of false/misleading advertising.
