On an overcast Saturday morning in March, the Electric Vehicle Association of San Diego and the San Diego Tesla Club held a “Meet-n-Greet” to share with the public an up-close look at Tesla’s radically styled new Cybertruck ‘in the wild,’ and to provide opportunities to speak with several Cybertruck owners. Two of those owners were the national vice president and president of the Electric Vehicle Association.
The event was held in a rear parking lot near a long row of Tesla Superchargers at the Carlsbad Premium Outlets — an outlet shopping center in north San Diego County. Rain was predicted but fortunately it held off long enough for the Cybertruck owners and curious onlookers to meet.

A particularly intriguing accessory is “basecamp” — a wedge-shaped “instant tent” for two adults that fits over and behind the bed of Cybertruck, “and pumps up in minutes.”
Despite its taking so long to come to market, Cybertruck still has some teething problems. Recently it was revealed that a delivery hold was placed on Cybertruck. An owner explained why, in all likelihood. The two pedals are each covered with a bright trim piece. This owner’s accelerator pedal’s trim piece detached and got wedged between the pedal and the floorboard, holding the accelerator wide open. Fortunately, he was able to get his Cybertruck stopped safely.
Cybertruck has a special way of welcoming visitors, complete with music, its frunk and windows opening, a light show and more. See that and a motorized tonneau cover demo video here:
