My wife Becky and I received our AWD Cybertruck on March 29th, 2024, at the Seattle Tesla Service Center. The delivery experience was smooth and pleasant.

The glass roof is beautiful and well tinted. Given that we were travelling into the high deserts with intense sunshine, I purchased a third-party sunshade product with a fully reflective coating. The sunshade worked well and dropped the inside temperate, and thus the need for air conditioning. However, the product took hours to install, as it required extensive modifications by my crew. It was obvious that the sunshade vendor did not have access to a production Cybertruck.

The cargo bed is well lit, which was very helpful at night. It is fairly easy to climb in and out of the cargo bed. The bed has many tie-down points, including a bottle opener . The under-bed storage is spacious and water tight. The tonneau cover is amazing — strong, almost completely waterproof even in car washes, easy to operate . People love how it completely disappears when fully opened. We did not use the power outlets in the bed wall, a 240-volt outlet, and two 120-volt outlets.

This picture was taken at my off-grid vacation home in the Cascade Mountains of Washington State. You can see the Starlink antenna at the peak of the roof. The cabin power system is a combination of solar , 2,200 pounds of batteries, and a propane-fueled generator. In a power system failure, the Cybertruck can power the home using the 240V outlet in the bed.— We had a lot of fun cruising through the remote landscape in Baja mode.
