I’ve been seeing this thing tooling around here in the Florida Panhandle for a couple of days now.

Rivian R1T R1S Guess what I found IMG_6195

Cybeetruck looks massive in real life but photographs a bit smaller. Weird. I guess it’s the proportions with its straight slab sides. The stainless was pretty dirty. On the road in normal life I guess it doesn't matter that much but if you are obsessed with detailing and keeping it in show room condition you are in for a lot of elbow grease per week.

there are several around my hometown now. is the cyberbeast a lot bigger than regular ones? because it seems like one of them is much bigger than my R1t. also, are people putting wraps on CTs? I saw one that looked black or dark gray- maybe a vinyl wrap would help with dirt and water marks, etc.

That's our Publix in Santa Rosa Beach. We are often there with Opal but missed that show.

Speaking of competitors, notifications regarding the Sierra Denali EV went out a couple weeks ago. Anyone else here have a reservation for one?

Tesla should hire you to be their official photographer.

I have thought the Cybertruck looks incredibly stupid in most pictures and when I have seen it in real life. But I actually think it looks pretty good in your pictures.

I guess it is the rear half that I object to, because with the rear half obscured by your Rivian, I actually think the cybertruck looks pretty nice. Still not tempted to buy one though....

Is that like putting a model in front of cars at auto shows? Get distracted by the pretty person and transfer that thought to the thing it's in front of. Would the CT look as good if there was an Aztek parked in front of it? :)

Yes. It works both ways. Just about anything looks good when compared to an Aztec, Even a cyber truck.

The CT looks like something out of "THX1138" movie....but uglier. I also have told my wife that it looks like a autoshop teacher instructed the students to go to a junkyard and build a vehicle and this is what they built.

It might have "Truck" in its name, but let's be honest, it is at best a "novelty" vehicle that was bought by people not because of the "Truck" part, but because they wanted people to stop and take pictures and they would feel special.

There’s plenty around here used for actual truck work so I’d say there’s a bit of both.
It’s much more fun to look at in real life than on pictures.
Lots of wrapped ones around here, not a fan of the matte wraps anymore (a bit dated for my taste) but the glossy ones or camos are pretty fun.

I’ve seen them around enough in the Phoenix ‘burbs I’m going to stop counting. Most are dirt SS, but I’ve seen a black wrap too. They actually aren’t as jarring in traffic as I was expecting.
If you’re going to wrap, go full troll. I find these , available in tundra too, to be hokey fun.

Do they make a wrap a la the original Ridgeline with similar sloped lines?

One more shot I took just for a glimpse of the side of the CT. sorry I didn‘t grab a full side profile with my R1S in the frame.
