Tesla delivered almost a dozen Cybertruck to vetted buyers. It's unclear who insured them and what special agreements the lucky owners had to sign. But they get to drive around in the world's most coveted zero-emission pickup truck. If you have a reservation and are waiting for that configuration email, here's what you can do in the meantime.
The Cybertruck may be pricier than expected and come with a couple of downsides, like the doors having no conventional door handles or the rear glass becoming useless when the tonneau cover is closed. But what manufacturer offers buyers a vehicle with a bulletproof body that's also as stiff as a modern sports car? It also boasts the 800V+ architecture, which enables crazy-high charging speeds.
This Mad Max-inspired all-electric pickup truck also debuts steer-by-wire (no physical connection between the steering wheel and the front wheels), bidirectional charging, and rear-wheel steering. It should be very capable of becoming a workhorse, even though the bed is small and the range is not as great as anticipated.
But the novelty won't wear off for quite some time. People will want it, especially men with money to spend on cool toys.
Until someone's ready to spill the beans on the day-to-day life with the Cybertruck and we maybe get to see some real-world off-road testing, Tesla prepared an interactive video that allows anyone to discover the pickup truck.
The platform provides users with the main details and familiarizes prospective owners with what they will see for the first time. Getting accustomed to the Cybertruck won't be hard if you owned a Tesla before. But you should still take the time to learn what's new.
There's a lot of information packed in there. You can take a good look around and inside the vehicle while also figuring out some of the settings that could make your life easier.
After you finish checking out all the interactive video has to offer, the automaker invites you to answer a short survey. The brand asks for your email address before you press the "Submit" button. If it's not associated with a Tesla account with a Cybertruck attached to it, you won't be able to access the owner's manual. That's a perk reserved for the few people who have gotten their hands on the pickup truck.
Tesla will most likely release the owner's manual as production ramps up and more people get to park the pickup truck in their driveway. But, until then, that's all we get. It's a bummer. But, at the same time, it might be a good thing. Tesla could try to find out exactly what to prioritize by working with the few owners enjoying their EVs.
Finally, if you don't want to take the survey, the .PDF is available below.
