And then after work, I find my own truck (??!?) on a Sentry event. Or is it…

















Yes, I've already had another Cybertruck park next to mine. So embarrassing!

Sometimes it's hard to choose which one to take out . . . Actually, not that hard - the Cybertruck's been getting pretty much all the love lately. It's just too much fun!

Love this thing. By far the best vehicle I’ve ever owned, hands down

some are calling the interior of the Tesla sparce...i call it classic, simple, no problem and even prefer, sitting in an ICEv or even competition EV and the dash is insanely busy with min function unless I touch everything, knob, button, etc
terrible engineering

Being a pilot, I love buttons lol. Pushing things, twisting things, knobs lights, etc. etc.. but I can appreciate the cyber trucks interior. It is weird to get used to though never owning a Tesla before

Took my Cybertruck exploring in the North Cascades today. There is still plenty of impassable snowpack at elevations above 3000 feet, so I was mostly limited to elevations below that:

I explored a lot narrow trails, a few of them were dead ends, a few ended in deep snow. Sometimes I avoided exploring unknown tight trails in my F-150 because of this, many of them end without turnarounds which can lead to a lengthy and sometimes difficult back down for quite a distance. I never know exactly where the snowpack is going to block forward progress. However, the Cybertruck, even though it's only 6" shorter than my F-150, can turn around like a champ with its rear wheel steering and tight turning radius. I was super impressed with how much easier it was.

As the Cybertruck noses into the beginning of a multi-point turn on a narrow trail, the rear end swings wide (rather than dragging to the inside of the turn). Backing up, the same advantage happens in reverse. The net effect is I was able to turn around in places my F-150 couldn't, or do a three-point turn in places my F-150 would have to do a 5- or 7-point turn. I think I did a couple of 3-point turns in places my F-150 could not have turned around at all due to obstructions.

Also, the 270-degree steering from lock-to-lock transforms what can be a tedious steering exercise into pure pleasure, and the front camera makes it much easier to pull up close to sharp drop-offs without fear that your wheels might fall over the edge and leave the truck stuck on the edge of a precipice, or worse.

Finally, the precise throttle control of an electric drive instills a lot more confidence compared to easing on the gas pedal of my F-150 while wondering when the engine, coupled through a torque converter, is going to finally provide enough torque to start moving. And, when it does, it tends to want to just keep accelerating unless the throttle input is immediately reduced which can then lead to unwanted stopping, especially if one or two tires fall into a hole or bump up against a rock. A gas engine and torque converter, even when functioning perfectly normally, provide inconsistent torque to the wheels, compared to the predictable torque of the electric motors. The gas engine with a torque converter also requires a lot more pedal work between the brake and the throttle to affect these types of multi-point turns on narrow trails with steep drop-offs, making turning around tedious.

The Cybertruck was confidence inspiring and super easy to drive. I thought the rear wheel steering was going to require quite a learning curve but it's already starting to feel natural and predictable to me.
