The pros of the Tesla Cybertruck
While car enthusiast, Leo Enin, is fan of the Tesla Model S, his home in Ontario, Canada requires a truck.
“In the mountains there are a lot of service roads that some times don’t even look like roads,” he said.
“You need to go outdoors once in a while.”
We’ve previously seen that the Tesla Cybertruck is a rugged off-roader.
Not only does the Cybertruck suits Enin’s mountainous terrain, it also needs to be capable of keeping up with his hobbies.
“I’m becoming more and more interested in woodworking and manufacturing in general and I need a truck for transporting 2x4s plywood and various tools,” he shared.
The Cybertruck’s relatively small pick-up truck bed is the perfect size for that.
It’s also ‘cheaper to run and ‘less expensive to maintain’ compard to diesel trucks.
We’ve rcently had a man who owns two Teslas walk us through how much they cost him to charge at home.
Other trucks
Not enough? He also described the Full Self-Driving (FSD) Version 12 as ‘mind blowing’ and loves its elevated infotainment system, seamless software updates, and Tesla’s reliability to boot.
This is something that the Cybertruck’s rivals like the Ford F-150 Lightning, Chevy Silverado EV, and Rivian R1T are missigng.
Their systems are less intuitive, they lack reliable autopilot and the design of the cabin just doesn’t hit the mark in the same way.
In short they were: ‘not exactly what I was looking for’
He also isn’at a fan of their ‘different mounts dimensions and design elements that complicate accessory manufacturing.’
“The Cybertruck has a straightforward geometric design that many people don’t get yet but it’s a huge deal because it’s simpler for manufacturers to work with,” he shared.
“It’s easy to work with again because it’s basically a huge triangle.”
He adds: “It’s kind of exciting to have something like that that you can improve or rebuild however you want over time.”
One one downside is he’d prefer ‘more range when towing’.
Guess you can’t have it all.
