I took a break from our booth at a San Francisco Earth Day event and walked over to the Tesla booth. They had test drives for their cars including the Model S Plaid which I drove around for 10 minutes---that's another thread. And they had a Cybertruck that people could play with. (No test drives though.)
My opinion: if you like Teslas then I guess you might like this. It has lots of on-screen gadgets. The interior is famously spartan. The design language throughout is pretty consistent. The cab felt more cramped than I expected, I think because of the sloping front windshield and steep rear glass angle. Everything felt chunky like the old Hummer H2. It is a tad smaller in body size than I expected. Sound system is actually not bad.
All the rest of the usual nitpicks about the steel panels are true. But I do appreciate that people try to do new engineering and push the envelope. Stuff like that is hard and you can try to perfect things forever, or you can just ship and fix in a future version. It feels very much like a first attempt.
