I really admire Elon musk, but everyone that got a cyber truck got fleeced hard.

So Rivian or Silverado if going with an EV truck?

Don't get an EV truck

I actually kinda like the weird look but I still haven’t seen one in the wild so 🤷‍♂️

Nah it's honesty dope AF. Had mine for two weeks and it's definitely worth it. It looks bad at some angles and rad at others.

Why do you think so?

Handling, Smoothness, the air suspension is fast AF, powers basically anything off the back including a whole house, and honestly my fave feature has been the tonneau cover (click the button, walk away and everything in the bed is super secure)

It's "fire and forget" where I used to have to strap everything down and park near the window of a restaurant to watch my stuff

I come from driving a highly modded Toyota Tundra in the past, but CT outperforms it every way, including size, and it also has sentry mode for security and will have full self driving which I've grown pretty fond of while driving a model 3

Full self driving’s potential is underrated, IMO. It potentially becomes full robot mode where it can come to pick you or someone else up, deliver supplies by itself, etc. And of course there’s the robo-taxi service for which you could rent it out.

Major downside: without it being open source it can’t be considered actually yours. Fully expect it to be remotely controllable by Tesla and law enforcement agencies against my will. Hopefully we’ll see an open source self-hosted equivalent at some point.

Really hoping for a open source version one day. Feels like not enough people care about this tech to fight for it yet though. And you're very right about it being underrated. Can't wait until you can fly to a city and have your car meet you in a day or two, or you take yourself to the airport and your car goes home and parks in the garage (or goes and robotaxis for some money)

And if they figure out FSD in addition while towing, maybe I can wake up in a new city from my towed tiny house haha

It will probably take an event that scares people into caring about it. A Tesla vehicle automatically pulling over someone who has a warrant, refusing to go to a location that is somehow restricted (a natural disaster area for example), refusing to drive at all during a mandatory curfew in a time of social unrest. Etc. Sometimes a fire needs to be lit. 🔥
