Wes(@wmorrill3):Cybertruck's wheelbase is 25% longer than the Model Y, but thanks to Steer-by-wire and Rear-wheel steering it launched with a turning circle only 9% larger. After Elon drove one of the first trucks, he said - The steering is great. But I think we can make it more magical. The team took that to heart and worked to squeeze all the capability possible from the hardware. Within a few weeks of the start of production, an over the air update went out that decreased the turning circle by nearly 2 feet. "The steering feels magical" is still one of my favorite comments to hear from people who try Cybertruck for the first time.
