Then I got my wife the Model S for Christmas. I started driving that around, and I’m like, I kind of like this. I put an order back in for the Cybertruck and I started building the excitement after that.
How do you feel about it now?
Oh, I love it. Now, everything else to me—and I’m not talking down on anybody else’s stuff, I still love a lot of other vehicles out there—but everything else, to me, those soft lines and everything, it all kind of blends together. And the Cybertruck obviously stands out. I mean, we take the trailer out a lot, and I can go to a campground and there’s 50 kids that come out: “Cybertruck, Cybertruck, Cybertruck.” I carry little toys inside the frunk so I can pass them out and give them to kids, and they love it. It’s a lot of fun.
Anything you don’t like about it?
I can’t really see the front out of the windshield because it’s so long.
What’s the Cybertruck community like?
When I had my Bentley and I met other people with Bentleys or Rolls-Royces, it was exclusive. They were a little standoffish to other people with other vehicles. I’ve learned that with Cybertruck owners, it’s like, “Hey, you want to see it? Come on. You want to test drive? Come on.” They’re more inclusive.
What’s the biggest reaction you’ve gotten from someone while driving it?
A couple of months ago, I think it was in Idaho, my son and I stopped at this place where they had a bunch of bears. It was almost infested with bears; it was kind of gross. This person literally drove through the grass, through the bears, and cut off the other cars and was behind me following me out. And I’m like, dude, who the heck is this?
