Manny Khoshbin is the proud owner of two Bugattis, a Pagani, three McLarens, and an unspecified number of Porsche cars in his garage. He also has a fondness for the Mercedes-Benz McLaren SLR, with a collection of six and plans to expand. However, Manny feels like there’s something missing from his impressive fleet. After test driving the Tesla Cybertruck, he expressed interest in purchasing one and went online to check the waiting time. Unfortunately, there’s bad news for him. Despite Tesla increasing production at the Giga Texas, there are customers who reserved an electric pickup truck in 2019 and still haven’t received it.
As a result, Manny will have to rely on borrowing his friends’ Cybertrucks for now. The one he had the opportunity to drive was the world’s first Cybertruck in metallic red, which we previously reported on. It has aftermarket carbon fiber fender flares, making it wider, and is equipped with 20-inch wheels from Unplugged Performance. The size of the Cybertruck surprises Manny upon first glance.
Manny begins by testing the tonneau cover’s durability, climbing on top to see if Elon Musk’s claim of it being able to withstand 300 pounds is accurate. He is also amazed to discover that the top-of-the-line Cyberbeast is just as fast as his Bugattis, going from 0 to 60 mph in only 2.6 seconds.
Once inside the driver’s seat, Manny appreciates the excellent visibility provided by the large windscreen and elevated driving position. However, he quickly notices a significant blind spot on the right side due to the large A-pillar.
Manny finds the steer-by-wire technology to be somewhat awkward at low speeds, requiring some time to get used to. He jokingly comments, “This thing is doing the Macarena!”
According to the owner, Dennis, the range of the Cybertruck should be around 320 miles. However, during his trip to Vegas, Manny could only manage to get 240 miles from the 123-kWh battery pack. Despite this, Manny, who suffers from back problems, finds the electric pickup truck to be much more comfortable than his Tesla Model S, crediting the air suspension for the improvement.
Manny’s interest is piqued by the availability of the cheapest bulletproof vehicle on the market. He requests his cameraman to find one for him.
