I luv my FORD - but it's a gutless schoolbus

The Cyberbeast is a game changer. I'm a life long Ford diesel guy but this Cybertruck has opened my eyes on how cool Teslas are. I still have my Superduty and it's even the brand new High Output 6.7 diesel but now it feels like l'm driving a gutless school bus that's hard to control.

Just don't get it wet apparently. Or slam the door too hard.

Takes me about 5 mins to fill up and get back on road towing 8k. I can go about 500 miles then another 500 miles with 10 mins of downtime,roughly.

Sounds to me like you only need a “car”.

YMMV.

I'm sure there's plenty of cool factors to the Cybertruck, but who cares if you can't stand the way it looks.

Drag racing light to light... sure, you'll get there first every time... and beat the Super Duty in a drag race.

But put the aforementioned load behind each and see who goes further, as well as who has more places to find the fuel required.

I just don't get it but to each their own. I love the fact Elon bought Twitter and exposed a whole bunch of stuff, but really don't know what he was thinking with the Cyber truck. I understand that some actually want to own a Tesla or any EV but my mileage varies...

Just make sure you keep it parked outside and not in the garage in case a lithium battery overheats and starts on fire.

Somebody brought a Cybertruck to a local car show last Friday night. The comments I kept overhearing the entire night basically went like this: "That's the ugliest damned thing I've ever seen in my life."

Exactly.....and everyone comments in the way the OP wants to hear, kind of stirring the pot. Ignore these posts or join the flock. My .02 cents

Troll.

You're right - it's a game changer. The game is money and Elon found a way to take it from people who do not need a Super Duty.

Look, I'm not into Tesla's, and I agree how ugly the Cyber Truck is, but that's a bone-head post. Did you forget that ICE-engined vehicles burn houses down? Diesel Super Duties have been known to catch on fire when the diesel leaks under the hood. Ford has had recalls for cracked injectors leading to fires. Seriously, the likelihood of an EV's lithium battery overheating and starting a fire in your garage is much much less than your ICE vehicle burning the place down. A few links if you would like to educate yourself instead of spewing garbage:

AutoWeek
EV-Resource

Note, I've got a Super Duty parked right next to a Mustang Mach-E, both in my garage and about 20 feet from my bedroom. I sleep soundly at night.
