Dang you nailed my profile perfect.
I bought one and its the best car I've ever had. Event though I was never a "truck" buyer it checked off all my needs:
- space for wife, car seats + another adult when needed
- haul around my kids, 4 bikes, skis, camping gear, etc.
- drives itself - we do a ton of road trips
- luxury
- electric, tired of going to gas stations
Wasn't another car on the market that checked those boxes.
Have you ever driven one? They are amazing to drive.
- 10xDev 5mo ago>Wasn't another car on the market that checked those boxes. Outside of "drives itself", I fail to see how much of what you described is unique. Seems very ordinary.
- DetroitThrow 5mo agoNothing fits in this category, it's revolutionary (if you ignore every electric SUV on the market) !! Buyers who got an expensive and gaudy pile of shit will never want to admit their pile of shit doesn't smell to themselves.
- alooPotato 5mo agoi didnt care about looks. i just cared that it did the things I needed
- DetroitThrow 5mo agobased on your other comments, you don't appear to be all that savvy in evaluating what things on the market did the things you claim to have needed
- alooPotato 5mo agoHuh? What specific car would you recommend given the needs I stated?
- alooPotato 5mo agoFSD was a big draw for me. have you used the latest on hw4 cars?
- 10xDev 5mo agoAs crazy as this might sound to some people these days, I actually like driving.
- alooPotato 5mo agoi do too but not when hauling kids and bikes and stuff. i'll buy a separate sports car to take on country roads or the track
- JKCalhoun 5mo agoI have another box on my checklist: [x] $94K and $52K deprecation in the first 5 years.
- erulabs 5mo agono no no you have to ignore that people like the product, its more important to mock production manufacturing from the armchair. I personally don't like the cybertruck and wish they made something much closer to Rivian, but getting upset about a product you don't like is a small man ting
- selectodude 5mo agoF150 Lightning checked all those boxes and also isn’t a complete piece of shit that sheds parts on the road.
- malfist 5mo agoAs an owner of the f150 lightning, I get a chuckle whenever SpaceX uses them to do something a cybertruck can't.
- gamblor956 5mo agoIt was pretty funny driving past the SpaceX facility in Hawthorne and seeing the F150s doing all the real work while the CTs sat to the side for press shots.
- alooPotato 5mo agocant drive it self
- selectodude 5mo agoBlue Cruise is far more upfront about its abilities than whatever deadly beta garbage Tesla keeps tossing out there.
- alooPotato 5mo agook so? my point was no other car can drive itself door to door, blue cruise included.
- nullocator 5mo agoYes, it can
- alooPotato 5mo agono it cant
- lawn 5mo agoThis surely must be sarcasm. Right...?
- alooPotato 5mo agonope. i'm literally the guy the GP is referring to :)
- Robdel12 5mo agoLiterally everything you listed can be done with any SUV.
- cucumber3732842 5mo agoYou "can" put three kids in the back of a Honda Civic. You "can" tow 10k with a Ford Ranger. They're both kind of a sucky experience for all parties involved and it makes perfect sense why people who can afford a vehicle with way more capacity go that route. It makes things that take care and precision and thought as mindless as throwing a light switch. They're not paying for capability, they're paying to make it easy. I own a station wagon, a minivan, a pickup truck and a hatch (and my spouse drives a boring crossover). I completely understand why "buy a crew cab truck" has become the norm for people who want to just write one check a month to cover every use case. Additionally, frequent "truck" usage is an absolute menace on wagon/minivan interiors.

- BobaFloutist 5mo agoOr, better yet, a minivan. People think they want a pickup truck, or an SUV, or a Cybertruck, but what they really want is a hybrid Toyota Sienna.
- alooPotato 5mo agocan't fit 4 bikes in a minivan . on my previous SUV I had a rear rack and its such a PITA
- mrguyorama 5mo agoYou cannot be serious. It was trivial to do this back before foldable seats were standard. You can fit at least two bikes in just the shitty "trunk" space of your average minivan. Every van ever made has more cargo space than the Cybertruck.
- malfist 5mo ago[flagged]
- alooPotato 5mo agostill the best car
- brazukadev 5mo agothe fact that there are only 173 RWD Cybertrucks sold tells another story.
- alooPotato 5mo agoi have the awd drive one not the stripped down one, maybe thats a big difference. I havent driven the rwd one
- washingupliquid 5mo ago[flagged]
- avgDev 5mo agoHow is the Cybertruck luxury? The electric motors feel nice....but the car is so far from luxury. Have you ever been in an S class? A 7 series? Literally most SUVs will tick most of these boxes at a significant discount.
- alooPotato 5mo agoI have owned a S class, a porsche 911 and several luxury SUVs. "most of these boxes" - I need all.
- xerox13ster 5mo ago[flagged]
- ponector 5mo agoYou can't argue it has a price tag of a luxury vehicle.
- alooPotato 5mo agoHave you ridden in a cybertruck? I've owned several luxury SUVs (volvo, mercedes), a porsche 911 and an s class (admittedly a while ago). The cybertruck to me feels in the same league. I know older/cheaper teslas might not be the same but try the Cybertruck - I think you'd be surprised. Its very comfortable.
- Freedom2 5mo agoI currently own 5 luxury vehicles and have ridden in a Cybertruck, and the Cybertruck is so far below in terms of quality it makes me question what luxury features you see in it.
- alooPotato 5mo agoair suspension, heated and air cooled comfortable leather seats, 15 high quality speakers, everything is soft to the touch (minus the window switches), super fast high quality software (that alone is a huge draw for me, most other cars have terrible software) honestly don't need much more than that - yes it doesn't have a fridge or massaging seats or whatever, but thats usually in cars with a higher price point too
- gamblor956 5mo agoA Cybertruck cannot physically fit 4 bikes, and the truck bed is not long enough to fit skis or snowboards. When I go biking and snowboarding with my idiot friend that owns a Cybertruck, we have to use my Outback to haul the gear because it won't fit in his lemon.
- alooPotato 5mo agoyes it does. i do it. as do surfboards. you just toss it all in the back and let shit hang out.
- gamblor956 5mo agoIn a real truck, the surfboards and bikes fit without having to "hang out." The CT has less usable space than the average crossover SUV.
- alooPotato 5mo agowhat!?!? you're completely wrong. https://chatgpt.com/share/69fe71ad-7f48-83e8-8633-d628632c71c3 https://chatgpt.com/share/69fe71ad-7f48-83e8-8633-d628632c71... And you def need to hang surfboards and bikes out the back in other trucks.
- stasomatic 5mo agoThe only ones I see in my zip code in Miami-Dade/Broward are (mostly) Russians who aspire to a Kardashian tank, a.k.a G-Wagon. The other ones are wrapped in "re-fi your mortgage" type of nastiness. I am terrified when I am next to one in a car or on a bike (because I know "my people"). I am not a Tesla the car hater, if only this monstrosity wasn't all sharp angles, otherwise to each their own.
