A Cybertruck owner shared that the first car he drove had only 4 gears and 37 horsepower. Now, just 50 years later, Tesla has created a truck with 600 horsepower that can even drive itself

A man named Lewis Withrow posted on X (formerly Twitter) about how much cars have changed.

He said the first car he learned to drive had only 4 gears and 37 horsepower, while his new Tesla Cybertruck has just 1 gear, 600 horsepower, and can drive itself.

He pointed out that most of these changes happened in just the last few years, and that Teslas are a big step forward.

He wrote,

“The car I learned to drive on had 4 speeds and 37 hp. The vehicle I have now, a Tesla Cybertruck, has 1 speed, 600 hp, and drives itself. Most of the progress has been made in the last few years. Teslas are a clear step in change.”

The Cybertruck is a very advanced vehicle. It has a unique, sharp-angled design, a super-strong stainless steel body, and even bullet-resistant glass. It also has:

• One gear: This makes it simpler and more efficient than cars with many gears.
• 600 horsepower: This makes it incredibly powerful.
• Self-driving: It can drive itself using Tesla’s Full Self-Driving system.
• Long range and fast speed: It can travel over 500 miles on a single charge and go from 0 to 60 mph in under 3 seconds.

Other Tesla owners commented on Lewis’s post, sharing their own experiences. One person praised Tesla for focusing on building a good electric car rather than just making a profit. Lewis said his previous Tesla, a Model Y, barely needed any maintenance.

Another person said they’ve been driving Teslas since 2015 and are amazed by the Cybertruck. Someone else talked about how much Teslas have improved since 2013, when they didn’t even have self-driving.

Overall, the post and comments show how far cars have come in a short time, from simple cars with low power to self-driving electric trucks with incredible performance. It makes you wonder what cars will be like in the future.
