John is a Cybertruck owner from Orlando, Florida, and he is celebrating the fact that he hasn’t had any issues with his Cybertruck in the three months since he bought it.
Despite this rather short ownership experience, it’s important to note that John has put the truck to use, driving it a total of 6,000 miles in just a few months.
The happy Cybertruck owner shared his experience with fellow enthusiasts on the Cybertruck Owners Club forum…
Here is what the Florida Cybertruck owner wrote…
“It's been amazing so far.
Early October delivery Foundation Series Cybertruck.
I have never driven any other vehicle as much in my life.
The mobile command center aspect.
The FSD allowing me to go places when I wouldn't bother with traffic before. 98% of my driving is FSD. (Orlando metro area)"
It’s the best thing I have ever owned, and hopefully, the newer models will keep getting better. I’ll drive this one to 100,000 miles before trading it in.”
If you are wondering what vehicle John will get after driving his Cybertruck for 100,000 miles, the happy Cybertruck owner says he won’t consider “downgrading” to any other vehicle in the world.
Not only vehicles from other automakers, but John says he considers buying even other Tesla cars as a downgrade from his Cybertruck.
The happy Cybertruck owner continues to write…
“I have my first service appointment scheduled for tire rotation. I haven’t had to talk to Tesla about any issues since delivery.
I'm not sure this is a review, but if my Cybertruck were totaled in a wreck, I would buy the exact same truck again to replace it. I can't even imagine downgrading to anything else, even another Tesla. There is nothing like the Cybertruck.”
Finally, John concludes his post by expressing his happiness compared to his neighbor, who bought a Cadilac electric SUV.
John continues to write…
Two doors down, my neighbor bought that $160,000 Caddiclac EV SUV, and hehe, it is a hot mess compared to the Cybertruck.”
What’s interesting here is that John says he’s really happy he went with a Cybertruck than a Cadilac.
However, another Cybertruck owner from Michigan who also has a Cybertruck and a Cadilac says otherwise.
The Michigan Cybertruck owner a few weeks ago said that he’ll be driving his Cadilac Escalade for the rest of the winter to protect his truck from rusting.
Looking at the comments, the only issue fellow Cybertruck owners had with John’s post is the fact that he plans to trade in his Cybertruck after only 100,000 miles.
A fellow Cybertruck owner from Spring, Texas, Peter, writes…
“Tesla cars can easily go to 200,000 miles with minimum issues. I had a Model S that went 140,000 with minimum issues and was still going strong.
The only reason I traded it in was because I wanted a newer Tesla with a larger battery and, most importantly, faster charging speed.”
Looking at John and Peter’s statements, they are debating whether 100,00 miles or 200,000 miles is the proper time to trade in your Cybertruck that will experience minimal problems.
Unfortunately, this hasn’t been the case for all Cybertruck owners. So far, we’ve covered real Cybertruck owner experiences, showing all the reliability issues they are facing.
One Cybertruck owner says he’s afraid to drive his truck after it left him stranded on the road on four different occasions. The first failure was as he was driving out of the delivery center.
Another Cybertruc owner showed his Cybertruck needed a full battery pack replacement even before Tesla could deliver it to him.
Yet another Cybertruck owner from Canada says the truck is dangerous after experiencing first drive in the snow.
However, returning to John and Peter’s positive attitude towards their Cybertrucks, it shows how much reliability affects the ownership experience.
It’s good that the Cybertruck comes with a lot of new technologies, including 48-volt architecture and a steer-by-wire system. However, all those will be of little use if the vehicle keeps breaking down.
Overall, it’s good to see happy Cybertruck owners. However, please let me know if you think 3 months is long enough to celebrate the lack of issues. Share your ideas by clicking the “Add new comment” button below. Also, visit our site, torquenews.com/Tesla, regularly for the latest updates.

Just make sure you don't
1. Go through a car wash
2. If it starts pouring rain have a umbrella big enough to cover your precious truck.
3. Have enough money to cover your legal cost when your FSD get you in a serious accident. Elon for sure won't cover your ass

It's never too early or too late to be happy and or celebrate a good experience.. my grandparents used to say if you don't have anything good to say don't say anything at all a lot of people on these sites need to remember that.. 900,000 GM pickup motors going bad , Ford struggling with the new EcoBoost, I don't know anybody who owns either one that's had any problems though for the most part people love their new cars and are happy with the decisions they made..

Maybe his neighbor can pull him out when his CT gets stuck in 3 inches of mud.
