model Y vs Cybertruck. Which one will you buy if both are on the market right now?

[coolmanfever]

Hello all,

Model Y has been out now. There are alot of information about the spec and driving dynamic of the car. Given what you know about Y now and comparing to cybertrck. If Cybertruck and Y are available for sale in the market, which one would you choose?

Two very different market demographics, with different sets of needs. I voted for the one that I think would be most useful for me, but I don't really expect that there will be that much cross-shopping between them, and I certainly don't think that one of them will be universally better for everyone.

Respectfully disagree on the cross-shopping. Pre-Cybertruck reveal we were destined to be a 3 and Y family. My wife liking lower position, sedan-like vehicles while we simultaneously need the practicality to transport a large dog, a kid, and a small trailer. The CT is a better fit than the Y for towing and off-road camping duties while being a worse (presumably, and if nothing else for it's bulk) daily driver. It's definitely an open debate in my family of Y vs CT. (We would be coming from a Leaf and a Forester). Neither of us have ever owned a pickup, but the CT seems to be a pretty darn epic value proposition.

Biggest differentiator for me, aside from looks, is potential range. Tri-motor CT having 500+ miles is a huge draw for me, as I will be making a lot of long distance trips.

I'm not a "truck guy" but I feel like the CT is almost more of a SUV look than a pickup.

Cybertruck is the bomb, while Model Y is fugly bloated Model 3. Now get back to work all of you slackers. BTW what is this peenewmonia I keep hearing about? Fake disease.

CT. I am a truck guy and when Cybertrk comes out will be the best BEV value. It will replace my Tundra

 

[B5chung888]

Both since I need a six seaters for family trip.

as a firm believer of Impermanence I never live by asking, "If"-what is available now is to enjoy. Right now, model Y is available and Cybertruck is not.

The driving experience in the truck will be completely different in many ways. Tesla does have things called superchargers, do you pland to cross continents? Do you live in Japan and are really going to need that kind of range and take that many trips with no available SCs?

Saying Y is available now is a bit generous... they kicked a few hundred out the door before the shutdown of their plants and supplier's plants.... Y's availability is getting pushed further out toward CT's.

 

[coolmanfever]

based on the poll, looks like cybertruck will be a hot seller once it come out

 

[MXLRplus]

Is this a trick question?

 

[coolmanfever]

not really but it helps me to delay my urge to trade in my model 3 for model y right now

 

[Fairchild]

Get your butt off the floor and step up to a Model Y

[Black306]

Cybertruck in a heartbeat.

Just took delivery of my MY today, but I'd absolutely go with the CT if it was currently available.

Are you trying to be a smarty-pants? I've heard of these supercharger things you mentioned.. when I got my first Model S in 2013. I also, remember sitting at superchargers in the summer getting well under the advertised rate. As more and more cars are on the road, superchargers will get more crowded. So, the less I have to stop.. the better.

When I return to the states I will probably be driving 800+ mile trips every other week. The difference between a 500 mile range and a 350/322 mile rage for Model X/Y respectively will make a big difference.
