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.
All Supercar Blondie contributors undergo editorial review and fact-checking to ensure accuracy and authority in automotive journalism. After gaining her BA Hons in French and English at the University of Nottingham, Amelia embarked on a vocational diploma from the National Council for the Training of Journalists (NCTJ). This led to numerous opportunities, from interning at Vogue to being on the small team that launched Women’s Health magazine in the UK, which was named the PPA Consumer magazine of the year for three years running. As Health, Beauty and Fitness editor, Amelia personally received a Johnson & Johnson Award and was shortlisted for both PPA and BSME titles. Since then, Amelia has created content for numerous titles and brands, including the Telegraph, 111 Skin, Waitrose, Red magazine, Stylist, and Elle, as well as being Head of Content at Vitality and Editor in Chief at INLondon magazine. “My superpower is translating technical jargon about the mechanical workings of a supercar into a relatable story you’ll want to share with your friends after you’ve read it.” After joining the SB Media family as a senior journalist in September of 2023, Amelia’s role has evolved to see her heading up the SEO output of the editorial team. From researching the most ‘Google-able’ key terms to producing evergreen content - it’s been a time of hard work, growth, and success for the editorial team and the Supercar Blondie website. “I like to think of myself as a ‘method journalist’. In other words: I live and breathe whatever I am writing about. When writing about fitness, I trained as a personal trainer, and as a beauty editor, I completed an ‘expert’ in scent diploma with the Fragrance Foundation. “During my tenure at Supercar Blondie, however, I did something I never thought possible: I passed my driving test at the age of 36. One day I’d love to train as a mechanic to better understand what happens under the hood, too. “My sweet spot is providing readers with a ‘takeaway’ (read: something new they didn’t know before) after reading every one of my stories. While I don’t claim to be an expert in the automotive world, I know the experts and bodies in the field to rely on to provide our readers with an informative and thought-provoking story every time they visit the site.”
