My honest review got deleted on Cybertruckownerforum and I got permanently banned. Somehow, you're not allowed to be remotely negative about the CT.
But people need to hear the truth. No, it's not glorious. The Cybertruck isn't a truck. It's a toy truck at best, an experimental concept at worst. I rented mine in LA, and spent 24 hours with it. Background EV that I drove in the past, and some daily drivers: Hummer EV, Tesla S, Model 3 performance, Gladiator Rubicon, LS460 (Daily driver), Mercedes S550 W140 and W221, BMW E46, Jeep Wrangler and a few other pickups trucks (F350 and Sierra 1500).
Suspension: What the heck happened here? It's so stiff... closer to a 911 than anything else. It's rough. It doesn't take bumps or potholes well. It is atrociously bad.
Steering: It's actually nice, but the steering wheel is WAY too small. Like, awkwardly small. Drive by wire is just fine, no problem her.e
Sound system: It's okay. Better than the Model S,but nothing to write home about. FAR, FAR inferior to the Lexus Mark Levinson or Mercedes Burmeister. Not even close.
Headlight: Piss poor performance in the dark. Unsure if any engineer drive a CT in the dark? They aren't powerful enough. Too low to the ground.
Wiper: Not good enough. Can't clean the windshield adequately! It sucks.
Windshield: The glare is bad when you're driving in the sun.
Visibility: It's so, so bad. You can't see the front corners adequately. It's borderline dangerous! It's a joke that there's no rearview camera display where the rear view is, instead, it's a tiny display on your main screen that shows you behind. So stupid. Cost cutting.
All in all, this is the theme of this truck: Cost cutting, then cost cutting even more. Nothing about it is "good". It feels SUPER cheap, and I'm baffled that some folks spend $100k on this truck. It's not done yet. I was a big fan of Tesla, until I tried the Cybertruck. I feel like people are getting conned into the hype of this truck. It's all plastic, it's all cheap, it's all too "fragile". I cannot dream going on trails with this truck...
Unsure why so many positive reviews exist out there. I get it, it's a different style from the exterior. But c'mon now, it's 2024, it's a 100k truck, you gotta expect more. I feel reviewers are afraid of speaking the truth, cause they want to keep getting new release car to review. But that doesn't help the community, when they sugar coat it.
This is the truth. I'm not against Tesla. I'm not a shill for GM or Ford. I have zero skin in the game. I'm just a normal dude that enjoy cars and trucks since I'm 6 years old. The Cybertruck was such a disappointment... feeling bad for those waiting patiently for it... they have no idea how bad it is.
