The statement " I don't want to drive with my left turn signal on like I'm in Florida" at 37:15 had me dying because I'm from Florida and it's 100% true. 😂

The irony of a RU-vidr who has showcased Moab and talked about Moab on their channel for years lamenting the rest of the world discovering Moab. 😂

i'm 31 and i think paying for something on a vehicle that you don't get when you pick it up and have to wait for an update is dumb.

I appreciate that TFL has purchased this truck. Clearly this is not a truck for everyone but it is a showcase of technology and testing it long term is the best way to see how it performs. For me, I will stick with my Ram 3500 Cummins!

I for one had no real interest in watching Cybertruck content UNTIL you guys hopped in yours. Your perspectives, personalities and expertise often get me curious about vehicles I otherwise wouldn't be interested in. Thanks for doing what you do, guys- it's appreciated!

I would like to thank Roman and the TFL team for going through with the purchase of the CyberTruck. I know we will learn the truth about its drawbacks, advantages and limits.

Boing 747 is 100x bigger than a tesla cybertruck, yet the steering wheel is about the same size.

Roman’s form and function is grumpiness 😂

Paragon bed covers are aluminum, lockable and awesome for regular pickup trucks. Thanks for taking the hit to make these videos.

I’m personally very glad you bought this, I had been waiting for some actual honest truck reviewers (maybe the only real ones left on RU-vid). I am not in a spot where this truck would ever be useful or affordable to me, however I have been dying for a real review, not a truck reviewer from tech unboxers

The blind spot indicator is not on the mirror because they're supposedly giving you the option to completely remove the mirror for better aerodynamics.

Back when we started hearing about electric cars, I was saying that the goal needs to be a 200 to 300 mile charge in an hour, and then chargers should be provided at roadside restaurants. Because after that much time behind the wheel, you need a break, a bathroom, and a meal.

The high bedsides were the first thing I noticed about this truck. They are just like the first gen Honda Ridgeline, it makes getting anything out of the bed close to the cab a huge pain. My friend hated this about his Ridgeline.

Tesla probably decided to put blind spot in speaker since the side mirrors are removable.

Great video guys, I shockingly watched the entire thing thru, your father/son dynamics was hilarious 😂

Happy to live vicariously through y'all. I was saddened when I learned they got rid of the 6 seater. My wife doesn't want me spending that much if it can't seat the whole family. Great work y'all

Make sure you seal that new grout in the bathroom. Looks like new construction and they never seal the grout.

I didn't watch any Cybertruck stuff until you got yours, good job showing the day-to-day life with one of these.

I like the blind spot monitor not being in the mirror. On a rainy night, it is just one more light to distract. In the speaker as Tommy said, works for me.

I love that Roman likes to think of himself as a grumpy old man but when it comes to EV life he sounds more like an impatient youngster. When I was in my teens and twenties I’m sure EV road tripping would have seemed torturous to me but coming, as EV life has, in my 40s I find I appreciate the way EV road tripping forces me to “stop and smell the roses” instead of the “gas and go, gas and go” pace of my youth. I also find my body is a lot less cramped at the end of a long day of traveling since I do more than just squeeze the handle on the gas pump when I stop to fuel up now. I do wonder if some of this is simply being a bit jaded after years of working in the industry. Like a baseball player who has lost some of their zest for the game as a result of it being their profession. I’m sure if I had been on as many road trips as Roman has by this point in his career I’d be thinking more about getting to the destination and less about the journey being the nobler part. Is EV life for everyone, no, but neither is cannonballing from place to place without stopping so that your muscles forget what their job is. All that being said, love the video, love the channel, keep up the good work and try and remember every now and then you get paid to drive around the country in cool cars and trucks. Wish my Electrify America bill was tax deductible :)

Yes, Moab is amazing. I have been there twice and I’m from Denmark.

I don’t get why people dislike that tflev purchase a cyber truck to review. I get it, you could dislike the truck. But I’m thankful to you guys for actually paying out of pocket to do a honest review and not just borrowing and thinking you have all the knowledge of making a proper review. I had an order of the cyber truck but after seeing all the review from TFL, I don’t have an order anymore, but I’m thinking of a Rivian. FYI perfer a Raptor, but dealers in LA are marking them up like crazy and that’s what pushing me away from buying one.

If anyone's going to do a Long-Term Good/Bad of the Cybertruck...it will be TFL. Thanks guys for doing...what do so well, for so long.

The Rivian R1T bed camera is a game changer when driving with tailgate open or carrying large loads. Surprising Tesla didn't place a higher camera also, but with the bed cover design it would have to protrude above the roofline or only function with bed cover open.

The Blind Spot RED indicator light was likely placed in the speaker, for those CT owners wanting to remove their sideview mirrors. Makes sense...

A young man who hails from Nantucket drove down to the beach just to truck it when it burrowed in sand he threw up his hands and said Roman beware! bring a bucket

Why didn’t you guys cover the cargo with tarp and cargo net when you anticipated rain?..😅

I paid almost as much for my new pickup as this cybertruck. I don’t have to wait 4 years for it. But when I saw the four-wheel steering, you got my attention. Sweet!

The hype may be down but the interest in learning about this truck is super high I believe. Keep it going guys!

Guys, I know this comment is coming in a bit late, but I love the way you review vehicles, any vehicles. I'm not a Tesla fan boy nor a hater, I just want an honest review, and you guys deliver that every single time.

It seems like all ev videos are the same thing in staring at the trip planner to min/max charging. I like the idea of an ev for my daily but long distance.. no thanks. 👎 going under the speed limit on a highway? That's ridiculous.

the reason the blind spot monitoring light is not in the mirror is because the mirrors are designed to be removed, if you put it there and remove the mirrors then its gone.

Roman, I'm glad you got the truck and I feel your pain. I'm also glad someone puts his butt on the line not only on the vehicles, but on investing for the channel (the ranch, new condo). It's insane risk but I know it will work out for you guys. Keep up the great work!

The camera on the right side makes sense because you look that direction but on the left it doesn’t because you’re looking away. Tommy is right on that, and is the reason Honda only did it on one side as well in the 2010s. I don’t think I’d ever buy one because I’m not crazy about Tesla’s build quality but it is a show case of their tech. It’s not just it being a truck it’s all the tech and manufacturing that went into making it possible.

Why would you want to? The number of vehicles that will do the job better, more conveniently and more reliably is nearly infinite. You could buy 2 HD trucks for the same price. An HD truck and a very nice enclosed trailer. A flat bed delivery truck. A box truck. 2 full sized half ton trucks. A Merc van….all of which will not catch fire in a flood, burn your house down while charging or have to be written off when you get in a fender bender. A fool and his money will soon be parted.

As automotive journalists, you're unlikely to incur any losses on the Cybertruck. In fact, in the foreseeable future, you'll be creating a ton of videos comparing other trucks to the Cybertruck. Replicating the Cybertruck will likely take other manufacturers years to achieve.

That will be nice for you guys having your own place in Moab

The reason why the blind spot LED is in the SPEAKER and not the MIRROR is because when Elon showed the truck for the first time, it had no mirrors. So they made it so you can take the mirrors off and supposedly it comes with a plastic flap to cover the hole.

I'm glad that you guys did purchase this truck. With all the videos, I feel like I know the truck much better now (not that I'll own one anytime soon because of the price, but I still am curious). Thanks for taking us along for the ride. I will be watching all the Cybertruck content (well really all the videos you guys make). I do like watching the videos with Roman and Tommy because it reminds of the times I spent with my Dad (who was a car enthusiast, not so much a Mechanic, but loved all things cars), hanging out, talking about cars. I lost him 3 years ago this month.

It's funny that after watching them drive this for a while, the front dash tray to windshield reminds me of my dad's old 91 Pontiac Transport "dustbuster" van.

Do a cross country race between this and the Tacoma. See how long a road trip takes an electric truck versus an ICE midsize.

I could watch 10 Ranger Raptor videos for every 1 Cyber Truck video, I wont lie :)

Pretty honest review as always. And Roman is right, I do appreciate that you guys take the hit on so many new vehicles depreciation so we don't have to.

Views will be huge but as this switch comes to evs I am grateful for TFL giving real truck owners the best path to reliable and functional equipment. The value is massive. Thanks for everything guys!

I have to say, as someone who has done roadtrips in ICE cars my whole life, I can't see myself wanting to do it in an EV no matter the brand. Until they develop (if even possible) a battery solution that charges at a rate comparable to that of filling up for gas, then EVs are really more for close commuting and not long trips. I hate the idea of stopping for an hour to charge up when in a gas car you could be ready to leave in a few minutes. That's also assuming that the chargers are free and there isn't anyone else using all the spots. I see the benefits of EVs from a daily commute perspective, but for long road trips it seems gas will be king for the foreseeable future. Good on you TFL for showing us how ridiculous parts of the Cybertruck are. I think the tiny blindspot indicators in the speakers are ridiculous, and as someone who is taller, I doubt I could fit in the front with how low the roof is.

Thank you for the video and for buying the truck to review it for everyone. Can you guys also share the cost for every time you charged the vehicles?

We appreciate you being an early adopter and paying the 20k markup price tag to boost my Tesla stock. I'll wait for the prices to come down before I get my Cybertruck with autopilot

Just thinking about that small condo with Nate, Roman, and Andre sleeping in it, I can picture just laying my hand on the wall and feeling the vibrations of their snores reverberating through it.

A comment about your bed loading. On the left side you've place a small dimension box below a large dimension box. Why? Had you reversed that pretty obvious fault the tonneau cover could have closed some or more for better range.

“I don’t care steer by wire or steer by spaghetti” hit me lol

To paraphrase Sgt. Hartmann in Full Metal Jacket "It's so ugly it could be a modern art masterpiece".

The only reason I would switch to an EV is fuel cost. My F350 dually costs me $1000 in fuel monthly. An EV truck would cost 1/10 of that. The biggest detraction of not getting an EV, is range when towing long distances. You practically need a chase vehicle. However, if you're a contractor and doing local tows only, EV is ideal due to cost savings, no range anxiety, and huge amount of torque.

16:06 I love that you’re listening to a “Pickup Truck Buying Podcast” while driving haha. I think this truck was a great purchase for TFL. It works as an EV and as a truck. It’s generating content for both channels, and it absolutely is still relevant. Thank you for your real-world investigation! Also, congrats on the new place in Moab! Looks very nice!

Steering wheel needs to be round is my opinion. There are many ways of holding it. And I like it when the wheel can glide when leaving a corner. It also looks better.

Your going to make alot of money with that truck. And save money on gasoline.

I didn’t even know the cyber truck had 4 wheel steering till this video😂

Looking forward to all the day-in-the-life tests. Loved the guy’s reaction at the charger.

I drove the Mercedes Benz 190e with the wiper from hell.

Hey guys, loyal viewer and love your videos, even when testing something as ridiculous as this cyber truck... however just a little word of wisdom, if rain is in the forecast you might want to cover your load in any truck. Keep the videos coming !!

Beautiful scenery! I can't believe that you didn't cover the sofa, to keep it out of the rain, Colorado weather is always very active

TFL has been bringing some of the best content on RU-vid for years and a lot of it has to do with Roman’s way of wanting to do things.

It was nice of them to release their first vehicle capable of charging at 800v and taking full advantage of the v4 superchargers, only to fire the entire supercharger team and pretty much abandon v4 chargers. They just fired a bunch more it and hr people in Austin last night/this morning

When road tripping its faster to stop and charge small amounts than one long one. Better for your bladder too. At highway speeds the wiper stays down to stop rain blowing back up the windscreen, at low speeds it doesn't have to hence returning to the side.

I dont think hes THAT grumpy. Hes being honest and thats what we need when it comes to doing a review on a vehicle especially on the cyber truck, i appreciate his honesty with stuff cause that can directly impact someones expensive decision. Helps you get to know the vehicle better before spending 100k American. After taxes probably closer to 150 in Canada.

Nice to see TFL expanding into Utah and California. Your info is some of the best out there.

I don’t know that a round steering wheel would work. It looks like your knees are within an inch or two of the rectangular wheel.

The Cybertruck BUZ has officially just begun! Thank you Roman for moving forward with the TFL Cybertruck journalism journey which makes TFL, TFL like no other.👍 Keep on Buzzing! 🙂

You guys should watch Kyle Connor. He does cross-country runs any TVs and he knows how to charge them very efficiently. He had a model 3 Performance one time and he did cross country with that and he always charged up pretty fast. He hardly spent much time at all charging.

Love TFL’s in depth reviews. Thanks guys. Long time subscriber and loving it…

No cargo tarp?

The wiper thing where it gets stuck at the bottom is intentional.

The wipers aren’t a Cybertruck problem, they are a Tesla problem. The Auto setting is basically useless, because you cannot depend on it to wipe when needed. My Model Y has a button at the end of the left stalk that buys you 1 wipe and about 10 seconds of the wiper setting menu on the screen before it is Gone With the Wind again, so think fast and maybe you can get the wipers on before you rear end the car you can’t see in front of you. I think they should have left a safety feature like the wipers on a stalk that works like most ICE cars, especially since the Auto setting is dysfunctional.

This is great, tons of (sedan people) drivers like me that think about upgrading size don’t know anything about living with this class of vehicle. Love the truck content, love using it for real world purposes. Towing vids are great but I’ve moved 3x with our model 3 and never had to pull a boat. Also, I can’t wait to see how the truck changes as v4 rolls out. There are so many things that will change over time with this truck

Wow you know, the more I look at it .... I still find it fugly

What don't you do a comparison of cargo capacity? You are just making statements without any facts behind it. We need some numbers and facts. You complain about charging but the Ford Lighting charges slower lol. Complains about rain and how they need to have shelter for rain at chargers; do you sit at gas station by the pump taking a space until it stops raining? Come one! your couch is going to get wet anyway when you have to go back on the road after fueling. Jesus this guy is a mega boomer using some weird *** logic.

I appreciated this purchase and the realism on the charging stops. Everyone needs to refresh at some point in their road trip. No one really goes 400 miles without stops. Especially with age we need to stop once in awhile 😂

I haven't watched any Cybertruck videos, except Hagerty. But here I am. I'm glad you got the truck.

Right On!!! More Cyber truck coverage... thanks TFL!!

Yes, road trips take longer than ICE vehicles. If you have a home charger for an EV and you used to fill up with gas twice a week, then you spent 20min a week filling up. Home charger makes sure you have a full battery every day. 20min a week for 52 weeks is a little over 17hrs a year fueling your vehicle. How many road trips do you make a year. 2 road trips a years for me. Say it takes 2hrs longer for a trip from Houston to Georgia. I’m still net saving time per year charging vs gas.

Appreciate the unique perspective. Thank you.

Reminds me of the old Triumph commercials for the wedge-shaped TR-7’s: “The shape of things to come.”

I don't hate this crazy truck honestly. I think the design is crazy on purpose and that's kind of fun. It's unique at least. It's certainly not for everyone, but I can see why some like it. I can at least appreciate what Tesla did with it.

Tarp your load!

For myself I'm glad that you bought the Cyber truck. I believe you made a Right Purchase. It's a great vehicle. And I know they're gonna be working on the battery so it has a better range down in the future. It is a great vehicle. And I can see great hopes for it. And on top of all that they will be putting in a high-end. Charge of system for the cyber track and the commercial trucks 2 down the road that allows you to pull straight through.

The stainless steel on the Tesla cybertruck is the reason why the truck design is like that... 💯

Love these videos. Please do more of these. I'm certain Tesla is working on the next version which will address these shortcomings.

Tommy, the wiper stays down during use in rain to keep water from running up the windshield. & blindspot light is in speaker so mirrors can be removed. Dont need side mirrors once you train yourself to look at cameras on center screen. Tesla camera layout gives you 360 degree view. Its incredibly impressive. You just have to retrain yourself. Same thing with button turn signals on the wheel. I no longer miss the stalk as the buttons are right next to my thumb. I dont have to move my hand to the stalk.

I am excited that you have this truck so we can learn more about it. Thanks!

Congratulations on the new place! Smart move. The Cybertruck is just stupid, in a bad way. That being said I might just pick a used one up in 2 years for $40k.

New title: Boomer reviews Cybertruck

if you want to get over the range anxiety just watch the out of spec road trip, they were arriving at chargers with 1-3% without a care in the world.

31:08 RAM Mounts Tough Wedge Base is a great solution that not only fills that space between the seat and center console, but obviously makes a good mounting anchor point that's not permanent. Like for rentals or any temporary use case.

Clearly all the people so freaked out by turn signal buttons have never ridden a motorcycle.

this cant be sold in EU because of it doesnt meet safety for pedestrians.. those sharp stainless steel edges will cut people in half

I see not reviewing this pick-up truck as a disservice to your viewers. It takes a lot of guts to go ahead with this purchase, even if there is so much uncertainty about depreciation, residual value, and non-delivered promises. I am confident that you will do a thorough test of this thing. I commend you for going forward with the acquisition of this product.

I like that you got the Cybertruck and are testing it.

Love the Cybertruck. Getting rid of the 2022 Raptor. Ford sold us out. Try to get a Raptor R for MSRP. Nah, I'm rewarding an American made truck that priorizes innovation for the customer. People complain about what is missing and what could be better, but the reality is Tesla offers so many more features than the competition.

Odd video. 55 min charging is nothing unless you’re road tripping every day. Remember that you never have to “get gas” from week to week which saves time and frustration. Just plug in at home and it’s full every morning. It’s unbelievably convenient.
