A Colorado owner said his Tesla Cybertruck felt like moving from the Victorian era into the future after 3 weeks with the 2025 AWD truck. He had swapped a Ford F-150 for the Cybertruck, and the difference, he said, was immediate.
3 Weeks With AWD Cybertruck
3 weeks into ownership, he said the steer-by-wire combined with rear wheel steering was mind-blowing. He also said the truck seriously feels like driving the future, a judgment that came after time behind the wheel rather than a first look.
2025 sales figures showed the F-150 Lightning outsold the Cybertruck, but that broader backdrop did not change his reaction to the truck he bought. The post, which appeared on the Cybertruck Owners Club website, put a very specific use case in front of readers: a traditional pickup owner stepping into a machine that behaves differently from the first mile.
Ford F-150 Versus Cybertruck
His comparison was blunt. He said an F150 or Tundra does the same basic things but nowhere near with this capability and ease of use, which is why he framed the move as more than a model swap.
His wife sharpened that contrast even further, comparing the Cybertruck to a laptop and the F-150 to a typewriter. That is the cleanest way to read his complaint and praise at once: the old truck still works, but the new one changes the effort required to use it.
FSD Regret After 3 Weeks
He added one complication. He said he regretted purchasing FSD only because the truck was so much fun to drive. For buyers weighing a similar move, that is the practical takeaway: the appeal here was not just the badge or the shape, but the feeling that the hardware itself made ordinary driving easier and more novel.
On Jul 14, 2026 at 4:50 PM (UTC+4), the post left one question open that the story did not answer: the exact configuration of the 2025 AWD truck, and what he paid for it. Those details would matter for anyone trying to judge how much of this reaction came from the vehicle itself versus the trim, price, or the terms of the switch.
