Happy Friday all. I had a lazy start to my day having gone to bed too late (almost 3 a.m. – just couldn’t get to sleep.). It happens every once in a while.

During my late walk today, I test drove the Tesla Y new model and the Cyber Truck. It was so exciting. My first time driving a real electric car.

Both vehicles were very comfortable and, contrary to my surprise, I was impressed by the visibly minimal gadgets in the cars. Well, let’s just say that I had no idea what to expect of Elon-Musk-made cars. The seats were also not as bad as I had heard. I’ve heard bad reviews about the seats but it could have been for other models.

2025 Tesla Model Y

According to reports, Tesla recently introduced updates to its Model Y.

The 2025 Tesla Model Y brings several enhancements aimed at improving performance, comfort, and technology:

Performance: The Long Range AWD variant now accelerates from 0 to 60 mph in 4.1 seconds, an improvement over the previous 4.8 seconds. It offers an estimated range of 320 miles. 

I couldn’t test its speed of acceleration as I test drove around the parking lot.

Interior Upgrades: New features include ventilated front seats, powered two-way folding rear seats, and an 8-inch second-row touchscreen for rear passengers. The cabin also features wrap-around ambient lighting and upgraded materials, enhancing overall comfort and aesthetics. 

Technology Enhancements: The infotainment system has been upgraded to a 15.4-inch display with a 15-speaker audio system, providing a more immersive experience. 

Currently, these updates are available in select markets, with U.S. availability expected to follow. 

Tesla Cybertruck

The Tesla Cybertruck stands out with its distinctive design and robust capabilities:

Performance: The Cyberbeast variant boasts 845 horsepower, achieving 0-60 mph in 2.6 seconds. Other trims offer 600 horsepower with a 0-60 mph time of 4.1 seconds. 

Utility: The Cybertruck can tow up to 11,000 pounds and has a payload capacity of 2,500 pounds, making it a formidable option for heavy-duty tasks. 

Design: Its stainless steel exoskeleton and angular design have garnered attention, though opinions on its aesthetics vary. 

According to the Tesla guys, one could sleep comfortably in its trunk and plug in for a tailgate cookout. The feature came in handy for owners who were affected by the recent California fires.

While the Cybertruck’s innovative features are impressive, it has faced some challenges, including quality issues leading to recalls and a polarizing design that has elicited mixed reactions. 

In summary, both vehicles reflect Tesla’s ongoing efforts to push the boundaries of electric vehicle technology.

Would I buy one?

Definitely, not the Cyber truckbut maybe the Y Model or other Tesla models.

How about you:

Would you buy a Cyber truck or the Y Model? If you already own a Tesla, how is it driving for you? Please share. Thank you.
