I wish I knew the answer. For some reason I spent half the day yesterday watching Cybertruck videos. Weird looking finger print magnet. The doors look dirty at all times.

I didn't mean to sound so dismissive, but really, a truck stacked with big batteries and big motors out-drags a Porsche?
Which would you really like to drive? On twisty roads?

Oh for sure the Porsche 911 (lower to the ground + looks funner to drive and sounds better.)
I thought of it today also that for sure I would not be able to turn into my own driveway in the Cybertruck.
I learned few things yesterday but here's one that stood out to me:
There were only ever 2000 Lamborghini Countaches ever made. There were less than 500 Bugatti Veyrons ever made. There are already 2 million pre-orders for this Cybertruck.
I guess what's interesting about that is that each of the 3 cars mentioned is an iconic niche vehicle only for very wealthy consumers not really looking for a daily driver vehicle but something to add to a collection yet Cybertruck apparently will be mass produced.

I'd like to drive the big truck and make all of the pretentious Porsche drivers look like twats on the motorways, never mind the twisty roads, I'd have my TVR Griffith for those.

I may be pretentious Paul but I've earned that right if I'm driving a Porsche 911.
Though, let's be honest, the Porsche 918 Spyder wouldn't only turn heads it would get them nodding in approval.

I'd like to drive the big truck and make all of the pretentious Porsche drivers look like twats on the motorways ...and on the twisties, where most of the driving fun is to be had, the truck would be too large and too heavy to make any kind of headway. By the way, I know some Porsche drivers who are not pretentious. They are car enthusiasts first and foremost.

Martin I could be wrong because I don't know know enough about performance and handling, but this guy reviewing this truck talks about "Steer-by-wire" in the Cybertruck and he has it as a remarkable ability to steer which changes from street to highway on its own using sensors but in both cases it involves the back tires turning slightly as well. He says because of this feature you can drive it like a smaller car. Though I don't know about how it would handle constant twisting in a road.
Could you watch 3:46 to 6:20 here? He explain it perfectly here and says it was difficult returning to a Ford F150 style of steering afterwards.

You'll be telling me you know some wild and crazy Volvo drivers next, or considerate BMW owners.

Can't quite follow his logic. If, for example, you can't hear the difference between say a £200 amplifier and a £1000 amplifier, you have £200 hearing, and so buying the £1000 amplifier would be a waste of money. Fair enough. But what if a group do the comparison and all can't hear a difference, does that mean they all have £200 hearing - or is it simply because there's no discernable difference between the two amps?
