Just saw one in Los Gatos, CA tonight. Cool, but still terrible build quality

Followed this Cybertruck tonight in Los Gatos, CA. Lost it for a bit, then saw it parked on the main downtown street. Wild to see in person... it's not super tall, but it just seems freakishly long in person.

I am in Santa Clara and saw one heading northbound on 101 down near Gilroy as I was heading to Monterey. I bet it was the same one. Looked good on the highway.

Thanks for posting the detailed pictures. Production just started so you will see the imperfections in the builds. I’ll wait a year or two till they figure out the gaps and hoping the build issue would get better like the current models. We are so accustomed to these gaps and misaligned panels where some one may not care long as they received the Inital orders. But for me if I’m pay near $100k it has to be a better build quality and fully functional FSD if I’m shelling out this type of cash.

A non production build thread like this has little value now that trucks are rolling. Visited the Production CT at the local dealer hear in Chicago and it was perfect.

Agree but you still can't get close enough to touch it. I'm assuming you went to Naperville Lisle?

lol yes true but in the context of complaints in this thread regarding gaps etc touching it doesn’t really change the visual comparison.

I hope you Chicagoans are in pickup friendly neighborhoods. Last I heard Chicago burb HOAs weren't pickup friendly.

As Many have pickups now this is an old and no longer concerning issue.

And the HOAs in Texas expel you if you don’t have a pickup.

Edit: they’re re-writing their bylaws to state that Cybertrucks don’t count as pickups. Has to be Ford, Chevy or Dodge, or Nissan, Honda or Toyota with special permission.

I do remember a time when Chicago would ticket pickups on Lake Shore Drive, sorry...Jean Baptiste Pointe du Sable Lake Shore Drive.

We had relatives in the north burbs it was a firm no for pickups parked anywhere outside. Glad to hear things are better now.

If they are legal how can they ticket them?

Long ago many had a high horse position as getting a pickup truck came with Truck license plates so they made a stink on any Dr or street parking. This goofy position is now long over.
