A single motor Cybertruck would be a real durable workhorse at a budget friendly price. The traction and driving dynamics would put RWD ICE pickups to shame. Value matters in the trucks that get used hard in daily business.
I let a friend of mine drive my Dual Motor Cybertruck today. His eyes got big after he floored it briefly. He let off after about a second of flooring it, otherwise we would have been going a highly illegal speed. He said something like he had heard Cybertrucks were fast, but the power surprised him. I told him I didn't get the fast one. His eyes got big again and he said, "You mean they make a faster one?"
A topic for a different thread... but Beast > RWD > AWD. Assuming everything else stays the same on the CT besides the motors, the RWD will be such a great value it becomes the second best trim. No different than with the Lightning where the Pro was arguably the best trim of the truck, not because of what it does, but because it did it for under $50k.
Own a KTM1390 Super Duke R Evo (known as the beast due to 190hp/107ft lbs out of a V2, 0-60 2.6) - actually put a Cerebus sticker like the CB on it - so they're twins! Also Aprilia Tuono V4 Factory (177hp/93ft lbs, 0-60 3.0), Indian Challenger (122/128, 0-60 3.3), Stark Varg (80hp dirt bike - also beast sticker since most powerful dirtbike), MB GLE AMG53 (wife's car 429hp is enough the way she drives)...and a 2020 M3P (3.1) - moral of the story, except for wife's car and my diesel truck all are low 3's 0-60 or less.....so for me, the beast is a must / no brainer....it's actually faster than all the above except the SuperDuke (if I launch well and not in CO at altitude).
Wow! I have nothing but mad respect for you. Ride/drive safe brother. I’m so glad you are living your dreams. I’m sure these incredible vehicles put a smile on your face every time you ride them. ?
The 4k allowance for V2H installation is apparently disappearing in favor of a $2500 voucher for all Foundation series (AWD and Beast). So no more difference on that front (which to me never made sense, since the Foundation series 'option' has the same price for both trims).
I admit, they are all smile generators! Definitely smarter / safer things to spend money on but real estate is paid for, yolo and stressful CIO job and this is my outlet (im 53, I push it but only when quasi responsible or on a track - although nothing like the CO mountains at 7am (no traffic) to test speed/handling!
I mostly keep the AWD in Chill because it's way too enthusiastic for a heavy truck in Sport if you don't want to have constant focus on control. The CB acceleration would be silly for daily use and not worth the trouble or money unless that's specifically what you are into, just like those who garage ultra high-performance sports cars. People are welcome to their expensive hobbies, including Monster Trucks. ?
