Saw one the is weekend at the car show in Portland.

There are a few good things it has. I applaud that it’s different and it has 240v plug.

but mostly, it’s really about same size as R1T and doesn’t have a good use case for a truck bed for me. The side walls would prevent me from grabbing things out of the bed. I would have to climb in every time. There are fingerprints all over the finish. Just from opening the doors.

You have said the actual truth.

I’ve now had three cyber truck sightings here in OC and I’m sorry but they are frickin’ ugly… that’s it, carry on
They must be selling a lot on SoCal, I’ve seen several in the last few weeks around OC as well.

Saw one yesterday for the first time. In the past, I thought that folks were being too critical of it. After seeing it in person, I did not think it was otherworldly nor strange-but-cool/unique. It was just misproportioned and off putting for some reason. This is in addition to the “kids don’t come too close to that thing parked over there or you’ll have to get stitches” sentiment.

I saw one here in Texas close to Austin. It looked orange. After watching the OOS Detail vids on it, now I know why.

I don’t need that much attention. Specially when my CT is orange.

Very polarizing but happy they exist. Not interested at the current pricing but if Elon had been able to deliver at the original quoted pricing, would've found it much more compelling.

Size comparison at the kiddo's soccer practice. The owner of the CT previously owned an R1S but Rivian couldn't sort out his alignment issues so he cut bait and moved on.

There was a truck load of them going up the I5 north of Los Angeles last week. Even at night on the other side of 10 lanes, you can’t miss how hideous they are.

A friend of mine let me drive his. I think it looks better in person. The driving experience is awesome. The technologies in it make every other vehicle, including the Rivians, old technology. I am still keeping the R1T for now, but will probably wind up with a Cyberbeast.

No question it put together many bold technical stuffs together, and will sell like crazy. Just wish it has a bigger battery Pack. Perhaps Elon thinks software and hardware improvements will improve the range. As of now it is slightly less efficient than R1T, with a smaller battery pack. As much as polarizing, we know Tesla will be around where as Rivian may not be.
