Reality of owning (& trying to a Telsa Cyber shit truck)

From range to pricing and accessories, the Cybertruck has failed to live up to his expectations.

Tyler Hoover of Hoovies Garage has decided to dump his Tesla Cybertruck and is not looking back. A single month of ownership was enough time for all of the little things that bugged him to win out over what he liked about the truck. During that time, he has also been frustrated with the many unkept promises on range, features, accessories and pricing.

Tyler wants out before he’s underwater in the trade. “I feel like if I still have this thing by the end of the year, I’ll lose $30,000 to $40,000 or more.”

The off-road light bar above the windshield? Doesn’t seem to be available as of yet. The hardware to power your home during an outage? A very long wait time and a $6000+ installation cost by an approved Tesla installer. Replacement wheel covers? Still not delivered, and his wheels are beginning to rust. Autopilot with Full Self Driving? Elon Musk recently told owners that this was a lower priority and that delivery of these driver-assist features could be "months" away.

Unfortunately, many edges of the panels are razor-sharp. “I hurt my arm the first few days owning this walking by and clipping right here at this sharp edge.” He also criticizes the truck’s off-road readiness with “dinky” control arms and rigid lower body mud flaps that should have been flexible

So far he is loving the Lyriq and considers it a return to form for the Cadillac brand. “The ride is so darn nice, it looks really good. Even though it is a crossover, it’s lower so it’s almost wagon-esque to me.”

He says the seat comfort and interior layout are leagues ahead of the Cybertruck. Plus, the Cadillac has actual functional driving assist software
