I passed a Cyber Truck towing a wake boat on I-75 on my way from Florida to Michigan. Forgetting the Cyber Truck wouldn’t have been able to do the 1,500 mile trip in 2 days, how do you charge it? At the Buc-ee’s near Lexington, KY, I counted 12 Tesla chargers and none of them were pull-through.

I made three fuel stops with the truck and two jet skis. I could have made it in two, but would have been on empty at the house and didn’t want pass up $2.999 diesel in Atlanta, MI.

That's a good point re charging with a trailer. Would quite a pain to park, unhitch, charge, hitch up & depart.

There's a Walmart near my house that has their charging island [not Tesla chargers] in the middle of the parking lot. Assuming they're not all occupied, you could conceivably take 2 spaces next to them & charge, but not sure that's the norm.

Got my email (finally) to place my order last night. $99,999 for the base model and $119,999 for the Cyber Beast tri-motor.

I don't think I can do it after seeing in person. The interior is nice and it's the function we need but I'm probably going to do the BEV RAM 1500 instead.

Just put a generator in the bed and charge it as you need....

Woodgrain is back y'all!

A friend just bought a GMC AT4 Duramax, brand spanking new, for $60k. You’d have 40k leftover for diesel.

They look sort of like a lower profile Pontiac Aztec.

There's one around, I've seen it a few times. Location, location, location. I've seen people online make note of the fact that they saw any Tesla on the road. Where I am, seeing one is like the train that went by Elwood's apartment, so often you don't even notice. I see dozens and dozens of them every day. (There's a Teal dealer near by)

There was a guy at work who had one for years, the model built on the Lotus Elise. He upgraded with each new model, but now he's lost in a sea of Tesla's, so I don't know which is his anymore.

The Cyber Squire turns out to be a three layer wrap.

It ain't half bad.

Saw one yesterday. All black. I thought it looked good. The rest of us would never see anything new if it weren’t for those early adopters!

We've seen quite a few on the road near us. I hate the black wrap on them, just does nothing for them. We did see a grey and white sort of camo and thought it looked good. I asked my wife if she wanted one, "No but I would like a test drive". I'll have to find one to rent for a day or two, might be fun.

I think they look much better in black

If I owned one (and I never will because I’m obsessed with two wheel masterpieces) I’d polish the whole car to a mirror finish.

The cyber truck looks pretty fricking good with a high polish/ mirror finish on those brutal angular lines…

Stopped by the neighborhood convenient store the other day, and this was outside the medical building net door. I must say, up-close, it intrigued me, although still ugly. You know, like a Glock.

I’m weird as hell…I kinda like the angular looks of it.

Kinda makes me wonder if anybody is making 20" moons.

If your hung up on the looks, then look underneath at the engineering. 48 volt wiring, which reduces the wiring harness by around 80%. With such a reduction in wire size and materials, I would bet that will become standard across all manufacturers in the near future. There is steer by wire, no physical steering column and rear wheel steering. That allows the lock to lock of the steering wheel to be less than 1 full turn. 120 and 240 volt outlets in the bed, that can be used to power a house during an outage. Just to name a few. Also, it uses an Ethernet instead of a CAN bus wiring system. One Ethernet cable that runs central down the vehicle to the different modules for communication.

Saw one yesterday. Good heaven, they're uglier in real life than they are in the pics.

One was parked at work, customer was shopping at the retail store.

The engineering is cool, but it doesn’t make up for the looks or the size. It’s disgustingly ugly, and huge. Like bag o’ hammers ugly. It really is a very large vehicle.

I have seen 2 of these in the last 3 days. They should fire the engineers that designed that thing!
