Sold my Cybertruck and somehow it's news For anyone curious why: I ordered a Rivian R1T (launch edition) and Cybertruck (Foundation Series) around the same time. I knew from the beginning I wouldn't keep both. Put 5,000 miles on each, and now I'm keeping the one I like more 🧵

The Cybertruck * Comfier, smoother suspension and ride quality * Better autopilot/self driving * WAY better speakers * More spacious second row and larger bed, fits more gear * Great rear axle steering/maneuverability

The Rivian * Better interior materials/build quality * Better design (IMO) * Smaller, easier to park in more places (like NYC) * More offroad capable (Both A/T tires) * The little things (gear tunnel, visibility) * Less phantom drain * Recently got access to Tesla supercharging * Less attention

There is also every reason to believe that over time, the CT will brick itself or some bits of it will fall off or the teeny-tiny control arms will snap. There is 0% chance that it will last as long as the Rivian. And the service centres are on multi-weeks delays at this point. Hopelessly bad.

I feel like the last bullet there is actually a biggie. Most people would get tired of the attention but don't have the added step of people wanting selfies afterwards - which is fine at an event but less cool when you are doing everyday things.
