1,500 Miles in, My Tesla Cybertruck Has Zero Issues and Zero Concerns, But There Is Too Much Fake News On This Big Power Fast Truck

It’s been a whirlwind of debates, skepticism, and excitement ever since the Tesla Cybertruck began rolling into customers' driveways. From headlines predicting doom to enthusiasts proclaiming it the future of trucks, the Cybertruck has captured imaginations and polarized opinions. But amidst all the chatter, a surprising voice has emerged from the Tesla Cybertruck Owners (USA) Facebook group, offering a refreshing perspective from someone who actually owns and drives the vehicle daily.

Three days ago, Tesla Cybertruck owner Jackman Outpost shared his unfiltered thoughts on his first 1,500 miles behind the wheel of Tesla’s bold and polarizing electric truck. His words read like a direct challenge to the critics:

"Please Read: 1500 miles in its first month. ZERO issues, ZERO concerns. too much fake news on Cybertruck. This is a BIG powerful fast truck. Cybertruck's air suspension is super comfortable. 4-wheel steering can park anywhere. All the lockers and lifts work flawlessly. Many thanks to the fine Americans who built this masterpiece. I have no problems with my truck at all. Even the wrap 'self-healed' in the warm sun today."

Jackman’s post struck a chord with many Cybertruck enthusiasts while also silencing some critics—at least temporarily.

For example, James Estep, another Cybertruck owner in the group, responded and wrote, "25,000 miles on my Cybertruck and no problems. I tow, haul, and deliver stuff nearly every day. I got mine in May. Oh yeah, rotated the tires once, and still I think they've got half of the tread. Not sure why people are having trouble out of the stock tires."

Jackman's enthusiastic praise for the truck’s air suspension, which he described as “super comfortable,” and the four-wheel steering, which allows the truck to maneuver in tight spaces, counters much of the “fake news” he references in his post. The internet has been rife with exaggerated claims of build quality issues, delivery delays, and even mechanical failures, but here’s a man who’s experienced none of it. However, not every owner has had such smooth sailing. For example, one Cybertruck driver reported their heater stopped working in the middle of a Canadian winter while driving on the highway.

A Truck That Defies Expectations

The Cybertruck has always been a lightning rod for opinions. With its futuristic stainless steel design, innovative features, and Tesla’s penchant for shaking up the industry, it’s no surprise that expectations were sky-high—and criticism equally fierce.

Jackman isn’t alone in his enthusiasm. Many other Cybertruck owners have echoed similar sentiments, with no regrets about their purchase. In fact, several have shared how their expectations were exceeded, despite initial doubts. And the air suspension of this truck ensures a smooth ride despite the truck’s bulky frame, and the self-healing wrap is a testament to the forward-thinking materials Tesla uses to future-proof its vehicles.

One particularly noteworthy mention in his post is the flawless performance of the lockers and lifts—essential tools for serious off-roaders. This feedback should calm the nerves of anyone worried that Tesla’s first foray into trucks wouldn’t measure up to the ruggedness expected from legacy brands.

But what about the much-discussed "fake news"?

Jackman’s zero issues and zero concerns seem to directly refute countless internet anecdotes about Cybertruck flaws. While it’s true that every new vehicle launch has its fair share of hiccups, Jackman’s post shows that we should take some online claims with a grain of salt—or at least wait for more real-world feedback before passing judgment. For a deeper dive into the real-world performance of the Tesla Cybertruck, don’t miss The Most Honest Tesla Cybertruck Review You Will Ever Hear, which explores both the highs and lows of this groundbreaking truck in remarkable detail.

Despite several recalls, which include software update, other people also echo Jackman's sentiment. 

For example, Victoria Longo writes, "I have a Foundation model Cybertruck and was one of the first 5,000 to have it. I have 10,000 miles on my truck and it has been absolute perfection! I haven’t had one issue."

Why This Matters To Cybertruck Owners and Tesla Enthusiasts

The Cybertruck isn’t just another Tesla vehicle; it’s a statement. It represents Tesla’s ambition to dominate the pickup truck market, a space traditionally ruled by Ford, GM, and Ram. For fans, owners like Jackman are providing valuable insight into what living with a Cybertruck is really like. For skeptics, his post might serve as a reality check: Maybe the Cybertruck is less of a risky gamble than many thought.

Still, Jackman’s perspective is just one of many. Not every Cybertruck owner may have a flawless experience, and Tesla still has a lot to prove as production scales up. But stories like his are an important reminder to focus on firsthand experiences rather than unverified rumors or knee-jerk reactions to Tesla’s unconventional approach.

What Do You Think?

Is the Cybertruck living up to its hype? For those who already own or plan to own one, how has your experience compared to Jackman’s? And for the skeptics, what would it take for Tesla to win you over?
