Cars Collection has test driven the most hyped car and pickup right now without a doubt!

The Tesla Cybertruck is truly, without competition, the most talked about and questioned car and pickup that the automotive industry has seen in a long time! Just the fact that it will take a long time, if ever, that it will be allowed to drive Cybertruck on our Swedish roads and streets. Everything about it goes against our traditions for how cars should look and be. It's too tough built with its square and sharp lines but at the same time that's what makes it so incredibly cool and groundbreaking! 

Because the pre-orders of over 2,000,000 pieces have completely cracked the production of the Tesla Cybertruck. Tesla has a production rate of approximately 200,000 Cybertrucks per year. This has led to Tesla choosing not to issue a car at all as a so-called press car that the press can book and borrow to test drive and report on. The cars that you may have seen in other press have been customer cars that were borrowed to make the report. This has also happened this time with this Tesla Cybertruck Cars Collection that was allowed to borrow and test drive. Via a Tesla Cybertuck customer group on Facebook, I managed to get in touch with an owner who lived in Tampa, Florida, USA, who could consider lending his Cybertruck so that I could do a report. So in addition to sat you can read my article about the Tesla Cybertruck here at Cars Collection, I have also, as the first Swedish journalist, delivered test drive articles to Auto Motor & Sports, The magazine Motor and the lifestyle magazine Voyager. 

Cybertruck is really as angular as it looks in the picture when you see it in real life. But when you get to know the car for a while, the shapes feel completely reasonable. When you jump up and into the car, the gigantic and flat windshield becomes even more apparent. Even if you are not supposed to do that, a person could easily fit lying down in the space in front of the front console and the steering wheel. This is how you really feel that there is space, which makes the interior feel good. The other spaces are also well-proportioned in the interior, with the exception of the fact that the roof behind and above the rear seat also slopes, firmly backwards. This means that the space in the back seat feels a little smaller than in competitors. 

The steering wheel, which is not round but somewhat square oval, completes the extremely minimalist dashboard. There is not a single physics button. Everything is controlled via the 18.5-inch touch screen in the middle of the front of the car. You also have some touch-sensitive surfaces on the steering wheel for indicators, high beams, horn, to name a few functions. It takes a little while to get used to the touch-sensitive buttons, and above all when the blinkers that you are used to should sit behind the steering wheel and as a lever. But once you get used to it, it's comfortable. 

In terms of driving, one would think that the Cybertruck is as unwieldy as it looks. But it's actually not like that. Thanks to the fact that the rear tires can also turn, the turning radius is not nearly as large as in many other pickups. So this feature makes the Tesla Cybertruck much smoother to get around than it gives the impression of. 

When you're lying on the highway, you'd think that the wind noise generated by the car's angular shapes would be unbearable. That is not the case and you have good comfort in terms of sound in the Cybertruck. Tesla has also not skimped on the sound system in Cybetruck, so if you are still bothered by the minimal wine noise, you can shower it with music you like. 

One thing you have to get used to, but which is guaranteed to calm down when the novelty wears off, is how much attention the Tesla Cybertruck generates. Even in the US, where many Cybertrucks are already rolling, it still attracts attention and people come over and want to check and talk. 

I got two days with the Tesla Cybertruck and in these two days I had both a longer trip on the motorway and city driving. I have owned a total of five pickups myself so I feel that I know what it is like to drive and own a pickup. Taking the step to an electric pickup truck like the Tesla Cybertruck does not feel completely distant actually, if it is now approved and allowed to drive in Sweden.
