A Tesla Cybertruck Owner Says, “Compared to My Previous Ford, GMC & Chevy Trucks, The Cybertruck Has Been Significantly More Reliable”

The internet is for trolls 😂

Look, monkeys is accurate. It’s a reference it IQ not race. And if you took issue with the story, congrats, you’re a monkey!

Objectively, the Cybertruck has had some recalls, but so did the esteemed Tundra… one was software and trim, the other was an 40 hour engine repair. (And I love Toyota). Both suffered trade in loss as a result. Don’t get me started on domestic trucks. Yes, there are some of you who’ve had good experiences. Congrats. I too have owned them, as have friends, family, and associates. Be real here. Stats don’t lie. Domestic trucks, (while durable, and powerful in the HD trim), are NOT statistically reliable. Toyota was… My 07 Tundra, zero work done, still great trade in value. Best of 30 vehicles I’ve ever owned. Dodge? Please… I see the ‘D’ and deduct a few IQ points and look for truck nuts. And I have a built Jeep. Chrysler products are total garbage. Sure that diesel will pull 25k lbs … to the end of the block before it needs a new transmission or rear end. And that diesel will go 300k mile, but the rest of the truck will have fallen off by then. Ford… Fix Or Repair Daily is a meme for a reason. That said, the “F-150” specifically is #1 for a reason. Value. It’s not perfect, but the cost benefit is real. GMC/Chevy has always had one thing going for it. Sex appeal. They built a nice looking truck. And they improved the product quality in the early 2010s, but today, warranty issues especially on the high end units are very high, and that sucks for a $100k truck. The worst part isn’t repairs on these. It’s the companies and their poor service. Dealerships universally suck. Own domestic, learn to turn a wrench and enjoy it.

The CT is electric, but so is the Rivian, Lightening, and new Sierra. EV shortcomings apply to all. The CT is also polarizing due to Musk, enough said about that…

Subjectively, Cybertruck is unattractive. But so is the Rivian and new Sierra EV to many… Ford is the only one that did it right. Personally I take issue with the term “truck” on all of these. As it implies certain things, like purposeful towing, ruggedness, payload, and utilitarian nature. None of these are that anymore than the Mach-E is a Mustang sports car. Don’t be lazy execs. Create a new class of vehicles. The CT is more of a rover/crossover/dumpster (jk, love/hate the looks). And the Sierra is an Avalanche reincarnated.

Now, if you haven’t driven one of these, I suggest you do vs. armchair quarterbacking. The CT is a very unique experience. You’ll feel like Han Solo as the middle fingers turn into blurs, and secretly want one. It genuinely is fun. But, it’s also not attractive and monkey will throw poo. Tesla will give you one for two days. The Rivian is awesome if you want a $90k electric Tacoma. It’s fast, capable off road, and has Benz like interior. But, don’t get a dent in it $$$. And the Sierra, not much I can say. It nice, expensive, and looks like the Avalanche… I like it. Others don’t (wife).

If you want to go off-road get a Rivian. If you want to blend in get a Lightening. If you want to look wealthy get the Sierra EV. If you don’t care about these things get a Cybertruck, it does have the best tech. And if you want to do truck things get a 3/4 ton+ truck, eat the repairs, and stop comparing.

The one truth about this is that CT owners don’t deserve the hate. If it fits their aesthetic, utility, and budget, good for them. If you feel inclined to flag them or vandalize their property, you’re a monkey (i.e. of low IQ, not race, i.e. ape, i.e. inferior genetics, evolution, your mom…).

Not for or against the format just the fugly looks.

Wow he's not saying much!!!!.
How about rating it against the most popular and proven reliable cars on the planet...all of the Asian makes. LoL bogus post😂🤣🤣😝

It's NOT A TRUCK. Bravo for marketing calling it one, but it's not

If that is a truck, I can't believe it, would not work on the farm, am sure, that no Montana farmer would use it

Comparing a electric vehicle to a ice vehicle is like comparing apples to oranges. What's the point?

It's already as dated as disco and has always looked like something John Travolta would've driven in "Saturday Night Fever". Would've gotten the same laughs and stares back in the 70's as it does now. At least those real trucks he drove could be repaired and keep on going...when these things die all he'll be able to afford is to toss it into the recycle bin or pay somebody to take it away. If that deranged trust fund baby from South Africa had any imagination, he'd at least have made the body look exactly like a classic El Camino or a '59 Chevy Apache.

Data suggests otherwise. The cyberpunk is among there least reliable vehicles available in North America right now. It is also the most recalled. In California they are excessively expensive to insure and most of the major insurance companies won't insure them as of 2025 so I'm not sure how much joy he's been getting out of his CT. If he thinks people around him think he's cool in his cyber truck then good for him, he's living in a fantasy world.

Excellent vhechle choice, the owner reports are impressive
The information has helped me to like cyber truck even more.
When you spend top dollar on any vhechle, Especially diesel or petrol powered engines you would expect to do more then 600,000 miles / kilometres before any major problems.
Not from Ford, GM,GMC Dodge ectera they want you to constantly buying a replacement vechile frequently. People biggest problem is excepting change who must be austic. Never fear change change should be a challenge not fear.

First, I'm wondering how much he was paid for his opinion. Secondly, I'm wondering how many zeros you have to have behind your income to afford one. Thirdly, what about the risk of an electric fire due to the type of vehicle it is?

Lastly, why would you want to drive a vehicle that someone else can hack into and control?

Food for thought...

Just think about the tons of earth that had to be mined just to build one battery! Environmental disaster!!

Where I live, driving to work & back is usually double that, sometimes more, depending on the jobsite. You see many trucks here with 250,000 miles and more. Winters hit -40 regularly. Charging stations are sparse at best. I question the capacity of the Cybertruck in those conditions. Most run diesels here, and leave them running on many worksites, with fast idle switches.

Aside from the fact that they are the stupidest looking thing I’ve ever seen, for what you pay they don’t hold their value, not worth much for resale.

Everything about the article is 100% true, You have to experience it to believe, Can’t think of a better vehicle, been 1 year with 40k kms, amazing so far. Engineering & Tech Wonder it is.

Lol 50k miles in a turdbox. Who cares? The cybertruck is so stupid.

Well, it looks like the comments for this article proved his point about the hateful “monkeys”. The man just wrote about his experience and many act like it’s a personal attack on them.

transmission issues at 50,000 miles but still covered for the powertrain warranty. and being he uses it as a company truck I'm pretty sure that he's not out there buying old pickups with low miles. so my question is why was the cost of repairs on the transmission not covered by the powertrain warranty the manufacturers provide on new vehicles when purchased?

What kind of idiocy is this.
He hit 50k and prase it for reliability.
I drive almost as much as him daily. 95 miles a day commute.
I drove a subaru forester for 10 years and 180k. No issues until year 11.
I drive Toyota rav4 hybrid now. 5 years 89k. No issues.
So what?

Electric vehicles are useless in Canada.. we have winter 5 months of the year.. when it's -20 or -30 see how far you get with your tesla lol

Come on guys be open minded every vehicle has its problems even a horse and buggy need maintenance. WE EVEN NEED MAINTENANCE! I'd like to see a comparison of an old Chevy, Ford, Dodge ( not my fav, but tough) 70's model vs cyber truck with zero miles on them all and see who is still running after 200,000 miles. We always hear about the bad apples and overlook the good. I hope your cyber truck runs for another 250,000 miles.

While I agree with how unreliable the major manufacturer trucks have become ( I too have owned all 3 mentioned), Musk has hurt way to many people in the USA, only topped by what Trump has done in the last 11 months, so I will never reward Musk by buying or even driving one of his Tesla vehicles, EVER ! I URGE EVERYONE who has been a Musk victim to do the same !!

I owned 3 full sized pickup trucks from new. Not one of them needed any repairs at or before 50k miles. In fact none of them needed anything major during my ownership of them. I went 4 to 5 years before trading in and drive/drive 30 to 40k miles per year.
As I said in another post, I am not a CyberTruck fan. They might be fun to drive, but a real truck needs to do real truck things. Not look like an Origami Failure.

Be careful when it catches fire. Look at all of the burn spots on the highways now. It is from EV cars and trucks.

Exactly how much are you being paid to hawk and hype overpriced, poorly engineered electric vehicles? Was selling your soul worth it?

Glad it works for him. His situation for work makes electric make more sense.

You’ll notice he doesn’t drive over 350 at a time. I have a 2015 Chevy that the only thing I have done to it is tired and one battery. I have over 225,000 miles

It is nice to see positive comments about the Tesla truck. My only hesitation with getting one is that most of my driving is long distance with no charging stations. Always wondered why body wasn't solar panels. And an included generator for emergencies...

How much did Tesla pay for this testimonial?

There's always one that might be good. I guess he found, the one.
