Serious question: has anyone been able to complete the car delivery on time? How is this even possible? Especially with the tendency of the game to throw the last batch of attackers (“the tail”) at you during the last section of the route to delivery location. The stupid timer, combined with absolutely atrocious driving for most of these “preme weheels”, that drive like a drunk blindfolded cow on ice, plus the constant triggering of ALL types of enemies immediately in the radius of 30 km around you when you do this quest in dog town… this is so far the worst side-gig quest in Cyberpunk 77. Seriously, how do you beat the timer?

To lose the attackers, a very simple but effective method that works for me is, 1. Overclock, 2. Self-destruct car hack on all enemies
Even without quick hacks I just shoot them the enemies. I rarely fail. Using Xbox one controller on PC.
Quick hacking to break the cars or self destruct work the best
Just drive. Ignore the enemies until you reach the end. The game will just spawn them endlessly otherwise. Most of the time they will crash in traffic anyway.
Git gud
Hi! By your post I deduce that you are new into open world computer games and GPS navigation, so welcome to the community!
El Capitan’s car delivery quests are demanding when it comes to your driving skills and navigation over Night City. After taking control over the car marked by steering wheel icon on minimap, path to drop point appears on minimap located in top-right corner of your screen. What is important to know – **you don’t have to follow the path showed by quest tracking, taking other way will not fail the mission!**
If said path leads you through many narrow alleys, where you have to slow down and take five turns instead of taking seemingly longer, straight path – take the latter one. You will be able to gain more speed by going that way, instead of deccelerating not to crash precious vehicle. It works exactly like real-life GPS navigation – you can choose between the shortest way to your target location, leading through narrower streets, or take the quickest one – usually longer, but allowing you to keep going without slowing down as much as when you pick the shorter path.
Ok, I’m already tired with this patronizing tone, so jokes aside, but yeah, it’s good thing to take different path than the GPS shows you, because sometimes, instead of taking Lombard Street-like serpentine, you can just go one crossroad further and take the hiway, driving 150 instead of 35.
Another thing – when you can’t avoid combat, don’t be afraid of aiming assist, it’s not lame to use it while driving a car, it really makes the game more comfortable. Also, as guys already said – use quickhacks. It’s the simplest way to get rid of motorized enemies.
There is a bit of driving skill needed when a timer’s involved, especially since driving can be jank depending on what you’re used to, but mostly quickhacks. Self-destruct is excellent for obvious reasons but RAM heavy. Floor it and emergency brakes are great for forcing them to stop pursuit or crash—especially useful to hack them when you’re near turns—and significantly less RAM costly.
People actually have trouble with this? You should be good enough to complete most of them.
Just drive to the location, if you are quick enough you’ll lose the tail by the time you get there
Although there is a little bit of rng involved
Usually I will just use a quick hack on enemy vehicles that will either explode them. But you need enough ram
Yes it’s possible. If you do enough of them you can work out quite early on what the criteria will end up being.
On a side note, I love these quests. They took Bethesda’s ‘radiant quests’ and actually made them fun.
I just get out, whip out my Sandevistan, then get back into the car.
Some of them is possible and some of them is just ridiculous, if you didn’t get in time, you will get in time next time.
The comments saying to ignore the tails are preem advice choom but I’ll tell you what I like to do: activate your sandy, jump out of the car (double tap to eject and draw weapon), headshot those fools in the street like you’re filming sicario, and then get back in your ride that is still technically going at full speed and de activate the sandy
