As a cybertruck owner who likes to drive deep into national parks, I'm optimistic about this. Tesla covers the big highways really well with their superchargers, but where they fall short are those adventure/outdoors destinations. E.g. the north cascades loop in WA state. You can find the occasional level 2 charger but they are painfully slow and aren't maintained well. Prior to the CT, Tesla didn't have "adventure-capable" vehicles, so serving those locations was not a priority. Hopefully with Rivian's DNA being more outdoors-oriented, everyone with a beefy EV can benefit.

How do you like the Cybertruck.. I find the appearance polarizing, much like G1 priuses.

It's a pleasure to drive and it has been great for what I use it for. Mostly family stuff but the occasional camping trip in the middle of nowhere. A Rivian R1S probably would have been more practical for me due to the 3 rows of seats. But I love the angular look. It's definitely polarizing, no question.

Some downsides: snow/ice can block the headlights, the windshield wiper and washer fluid sprayer are bad, the range isn't good compared to competitors.

I've not been a huge fan of Tesla generally because of the lack of physical buttons, as well as build quality.

I think my next vehicle, will be at a minimum plug in hybrid, and maybe full BEV, ironically, replacing our dual electric tank hot water heaters allows for us to install a charger.

Teslas have plenty of physical buttons. You've been lied to.

I looked at a model 3 at the time I was shopping for my Chrysler 300, and saw with my own eyes.

So unless my eyes are lying, no, I dont think I have been.

They are multi function, so just looking won’t quite get you there. There are some surprises there your eyes won’t see.

Like any good UI, the basic uses are easy to get, but there are other features there to be discovered in each button. It’s really well done.
