seeing a cybertruck on the road is like that gnat that disappears into the shadow realm every time you try to kill it and then it comes back 16 seconds later
This car crushing brick is allowed on the roads no problem BUT nearly every state in the union is trying to or has banned Kei trucks for "safety concerns"
Because kei trucks are a different class of vehicles and aren’t designed for our roads, they are more like golf carts if anything, if anything, a kei truck is more safer then the cybertruck even if it has no crumple zone as well
Like if it’s about safety they’re full of shit for that reason *motorcycles*, and I love motorcycles but they are inherently very dangerous to the user. Also if the roads weren’t so chock full of giant 2ton pickups and suvs with grills so tall they can’t see ten year olds in front of them then maybe light vehicles wouldn’t be perceived as unsafe. They’re not, big American cars are dangerous to them.
@@polish_boi3108True. With more and more "vehicles" like the cybertruck release, the more companies increase their size for "safety" although thay make it extremely more dangerous to drive around people who walk as well
@@Matt-qf6pd ok so what if Big Auto™ made a Kei truck equivalent for our roads specifically? Right, they won't do that because government standards issue bigger taxes on smaller cars .
I was (emphasis on was) a serious Cybertruck reservation holder. It went from something reachable by many, something that would loose its head turning with higher production volume, and something that would give me more efficiency than an Prius for normal driving and utility for the few times a year I need a truck. Now it’s a high priced vehicle for the few that can comfortably afford a seven series BMW. Speaking as a previous serious reservation holder. The most disappointing Tesla product. Sure it’s cool in person, but far from what was promised.
I'm envious of Europe in this instance, since they banned the monstrosity that is the cybertruck, and they will never know the pain of cringing whenever you see one.
We didn't ban it. To ban is to make it impossible to do something that was previously possible. So how can you ban something that was never allowed on European roads.
@@Mr.JesseR the netherlands have pretty easy laws when it comes to cars, you can do a lot of things i cant do here im germany. But im sure there will be new laws to either allow it or ban features on it to make it illegal.
People will be able to import them individually into various European countries but, because it's unlikely to pass various certifications, it won't be able to be sold by Tesla here.
When 06 Breaks, you can possibly laugh at it’s absurdity, have some dumb fun with the glitches and maybe even use it to Skip a level If a Cybertrukk brakes. You’re risking your fucking life and you’ve blown almost 100k On a piece of flimsy garbage
@@lallal The Pinto was Ford's attempt at a compact car. Unfortunately, a design flaw made so prone gas tank explosions if it was rear-ended that they determined that the only safe option financially was to drop the Pinto name entirely. It was on the market from 1971 to 1980.
Only objective benefit from Cyber Truck's existence is that the cybertruck's style of windshield makes it easier to shoot the driver in fortnite. The only benefit from it's existance is that it's a use-to-lose Cosmetic item in a goofy videogame 😭
@@RaceBandit Letting a single game from a stranger's entire gaming library you know nothing about automatically value them sounds Dumb as hell, Also i don't know what else to call "Using a free to obtain cosmetic gives you a comptetetive disadvantage" scenario. I have more hours in Indie platformers than fortnite.
The only reason to use the cybertruck is because it’s the only truck vehicle in the game (which is why I use it) but the moment epic gives us another truck model like OG Bear I’m switching instantly 🙏😭
Used car dealerships are losing money because the price keeps on dropping every month for that truck. I've seen some selling it at a loss but no one wants it
Actually it’s the opposite. Most teslas and now this cybertruck is borderline impossible to replace parts. It’s not in the video but another problem is replacing parts, where you have to call the manufacturer directly for a CHANCE to be considered. Chance being the typical big business hassles of actually getting a person on the call.
@j-sant-animations8105 that is genuinely wild just to have a chance to even get parts. That basically means the person who owns the tesla or cybertruck are just getting screwed over more and more
Elon should straight up see a class action lawsuit for these things, the fact that he and Tesla haven't seen jail time for these death traps goes to show how privileged he is.
The Ford Motor Company has been hit with a $1.7 billion verdict for an F-250 pickup truck roof collapse. The rollover accident killed an elderly couple in 2014. The jury endorsed the argument made by the plaintiff that Ford was aware of the roof problem. In fact, the company had been aware of the issue for years prior to the incident and showed a lack of effort in fixing the design flaw.
So how many people have died in these "death traps"? There's over 40k on the road. Surely it must be high thousands of deaths right? No? You don't have any data at all? Nerdbeast go home.
It is spearheaded by Elon who is neither an architect nor an engineer. So you’re completely wrong. No real automobile engineer would never design such a dumpster
@@alphamineronMusk has a degree in physics, which, as an engineer, is a degree some engineers have. It doesn’t teach you everything you need to know as an engineer, but neither does an engineering degree. What Musk does do, and has done for almost two decades at this point, is make high level engineering decisions. As has been stated by engineers at Tesla and SpaceX. Usually I get unsubstantiated pushback on this when I say it on SpaceX topics, but since we’re looking at a vehicle with very poor high level engineering decisions, somehow I think people will be more accepting. Point is, I think Elon Musk walks like a duck and quacks like a duck. He is an engineer. Is he a good engineer? Very much a mixed bag. At rocketry? Yeah. At cars? Eh, I mean he worked out that electric cars had just become viable, and the only reason he didn’t found Tesla was that three guys figured it out 6 months earlier and he found them while doing market research. That was some good engineering. But his decisions about autopilot and Cybertruck are extremely questionable. And that’s what you’d expect from an engineer who’s been given an enormous budget and doesn’t really have anyone who can firmly say no. A mixture of great and pretty bad products. I’d probably be the same.

Fun fact: I actually recently found myself driving behind a Ford Pinto - said car is infamous for being one of the worst cars of the 20th Century I felt safer behind the Pinto than any time I’ve found myself driving next to/behind a Cybertruck
Pintos were like the car for the poorest people of the 90’s, and I would still trust a pinto driver over anyone who tries to sing praises for the cybertruck.
Remember. When you see a Cybertruck, unless that shit's got an M2 mounted in the back (That's Brandon Herrera), you do three things. 1. Stop what you're doing/roll down your window. 2. Point at the Cybertruck. 3. Laugh. Schadenfreude.
The most amazing thing is the cybertruck looks worse in person. The panels have ripples like preserved rolling stock from the 1950s it's amazing how terrible it looks.

Im pretty sure that thing isn't allowed on French roads. It probably violate so many road safety laws here that it simply can't circulate here. And thats a good thing
The only good thing that came out of the cybertruck is that we can laugh at their owners and at the truck for being so lame, the cope of the people that bought it is insane
@@КГБКолДжорджКостанцаno no, they paid double for a metal coffin that shits itself on water and is built with the hopes and dreams of machines and chinese children and a Bad engine
@@asyra-ku4vi Bicycles have ~15 times more fatalities per passenger-mile than cars have (according to UK, best data I found). The only way bikes are any safer is because people hardly drive far at all in them.
I saw one of these, just one, in SC and my immediate thought was that it looked like a very old car model from a video game. It looked like a low res car from the freakin Transformers DS games.
I'm happy to continue to ruin your day. You're going to see a lot more. Best selling EV truck right now and they haven't even released the cheap version yet.
Elon is trying to reinvent the wheel. What he doesn't understand is that the wheel has been perfected. Car engineers have literally created the perfect schematics and design choices. The best we can do is make minor changes or improvements.
If you want an EV pickup truck, a Ford Lightning is around $62k, has 300 miles of range, and ACTUALLY LOOKS LIKE A PICKUP TRUCK. Hell, even the Platinum model of the Lightning is still $10k cheaper than a Cybertruck. If you don't want a fully EV truck, there's a hybrid version of the F-150 for a little over $40k. If you don't like pickup trucks, just buy a Honda Civic Hatchback. edit: Rivian is also a great option.
Unfortunately, the Lightning is in a state of limbo right now and generally not recommended after long-term reviews came back. Production was halted and shipments stopped after sales flat-lined and numerous issues cropped up during real-world use. See Hoovie's video on why he got rid of his for some of his experiences with one. The current kings of the EV pickups range-wise is the Rivian long range model that actually does 400+ miles and the new Silverado EV that pushed 500 miles in a real-world mixed used test of on and off roading. Unfortunately, neither of those aren't exactly cheep, either, and come with their own set of quirks and oddities.
As a general rule, if you're gonna spend $30k+ on something you'll have for years, it's probably a good idea to wait for A) the price to go down by $20k, B) the problems with that thing to be revealed, and C) the biggest problems to be solved. Buying a Cybertruck in the first year is a status flex, not a practical decision. You will not get nearly as much social status driving a Ford Lightning that looks 95% the same as an ICE Ford. But all of this is obvious to anyone who has actually spent a few seconds thinking about what to do with their $100k
EV and pickup feel pretty anathetical to each other as a concept. You want a pickup to y'know haul things Having poor range and lower durability as an EV does doesn't seem like the best plan
@@1stCallipostle An EV is more efficient than ICEV pickup if you're just hauling stuff in the box, thus cheaper to operate. You can pull a trailer on almost any vehicle, not just pickups. If you have a big open box in the back of your pickup, you have less need for a trailer. So logically, an SUV is more relevant to your argument. But even SUVs have lots of use for road trips where you want lots of internal space for coolers and luggage. Saving money is often a top priority for practicality. So either buy used vehicles that are cheaper initially or EVs that save money per mile. EVs are only a bad choice if you frequently (like weekly) drive 300+ miles in a single trip while carrying a big trailer. Otherwise, for shorter distances people tend to prefer EVs for hauling because they have more stability, power, and don't overheat. Deadbeats represent :skull:
It's actually awe-inspiring how Elon Musk managed in about a year tops to destroy his reputation and image with LITERALLY every single thing he's ever been involved in/with, when back then he was liked so much before all of this happened.
Elon Musk is the most important individual in the world right now. He’s the guy protecting your right to talk like this about anyone… you know freedom of speech! The CyberTruck is now the number 1 selling electric truck in the world… with a back log of orders that will take years to fill.
The Cybertruck is no worse than the Model X on release. The Model X also had a lot of bad publicity like this originally. The Falcon wing doors kept breaking, it was expensive, lots of recalls, lots of promised features missing, etc. That's kinda how all new Tesla cars have been. The only difference is now hating Musk is a lot more mainstream, whereas before hating him was fringe. Anyone who has been paying attention knows that Musk has always been an overpromiser, Tesla has always had issues like recalls and panel gaps, and Teslas have always been shockingly expensive. Only now after like 6 years has the Model 3 gone down in price to what was originally promised (including inflation).
Don't forget the lack of replacement panels. So if you actually do get in a crash with a cybertruck just know that that thing is either stuck like that or getting replaced
I’ve seen a cybertruck three times in the last two months or so. It could have been the same one or multiple different trucks, I’m honestly not sure which bothers me more.
As a physics student, you should get your eyes examined. Did you not see this very video showing it crumpling? Standard front crumple zones is between 18-32". The cybertruck in the video crumpled 25" at 35mph. Y'all seriously will believe anything some TikTok entertainer says. It's got a similar frame as the model Y. Aluminum with break away zones. Very well teated frame at this point with the highest safety ratings. But what about the panels? As you can see the thin 1.3mm panels just bend away in a crash. The doors are 1.8mm and actually absorb the impact so well they need less interior reinforcement. You are a physics student. Examine the data and do the math before opening your mouth. When this truck gets 5*+ safety rating by regulators just like every other Tesla, I hope you all eat crow.
I like how this is just the modern delorean. Sharp futuristic car, supposed to be a way lower price on reveal, head of the company doing crazy shit, car being shit quality. It is legit Delorean repeating itself
The DeLorean looked cool and was usable means of transportation; especially if your destination was 1955. A Cybertruck is just a very large, and very expensive paperweight.
It's actually pretty good quality after the first few months of production. Mine is 13k and I can find a misaligned panel gap anywhere. Sound system is amazing and the steer by wire is crazy good. Makes my other cars seem old and sloppy.
If you want an actual electric truck, look into what Rivian offers. Rivian trucks are like what Tesla would've made if Elon wasn't high off of his own farts all the time.
This thing is an all-around failure of a vehicle. I can guarantee you that Elon Musk and Tesla are going to be hit with lawsuits out of the ass for all of the physical harm this thing will cause to people and how many laws and rules this thing violates.
I’ve only seen one person with a cyber truck so far in my area. It’s like a fly lands on your food at the worst possible, so rarely you never see it but you know it was there because the food is terrible and everything is staring at it as it flies away.
Much like when one sees cows or horses while driving and must call them out, one must also see the Screaming Metal Deathtrap and call them out as Screaming Metal Deathtraps
Is anyone gonna say that all wheel drive was promised, then every system in the cybertruck said coming soon with update. ELON MUSK HAS OFFICIALLY MADE A LIVE SERVICE CAR
When I first saw a cybertruck irl I was having a mental breakdown while driving. When I laid eyes upon it, my brain immediately reset itself. Whatever caused my breakdown didn’t matter anymore. I slowly turned onto my street just staring at it with this look of disgust, anger, and confusion. And I knew what the cybertruck looked like.
I live in California and seen like 5 cyber trucks in the last month and it’s still mind boggling why someone would buy a unfinished unity asset of a vehicle
General Motors has reached a preliminary settlement in a lawsuit on behalf of owners of vehicles with faulty ignition switches and related defects, agreeing to pay $120 million.
If there was a vetting system, no truck except the cybertruck would be legal. Ride height is the most dangerous characteristic of a truck and the cybertruck rides lower than them all.
Where I live there were 2, now one is at a buy here pay here lot, and the other ended up at an auction. Highest bid was 95k, and didn't meet the reserve, and this was a high end auction where you're dropping ~4k+ to put it in the auction, detailing, etc... had me laughing watching that.
The worst thing about this ‘car’ is easily the steering by wire system because if the computer system inside of it crashes you have no physical control over the steering wheel
Okay, that would be: A lot of busses All larger newly built commercial aircraft are 100% steer by wire (which has actually become a regulation requirement, because it's safer, and more reliable) and a ton of the old ones got refit Basically all larger modern construction vehicles Every single newly built commercial ships And for that matter, even quite a significant amount of smaller ships, like Yachts, and you can even find speed boats with steer by wire. The problem isn't steering by wire, the problem is the EXCEPTIONALLY BADLY QUALITY CONTROLLED SHIZZ that it is. If the CyberTruck computer just "crashes" you are fine... the bigger problem is those systems have almost no protection, so good chance the actual steering breaks.
@@SioxerNikita yeah it really is a quality control problem because Ik that it gets used in everything from aircraft to even some lexus’s but the problem is I would not trust tesla with that because the other people that do it are either highly regulated and inspected industries (excluding Boeing lmao) or is toyota/lexus which pride themselves on basically being the most reliable car on the road
@@thekernel69 Even the CyberTruck has redundant systems, the problem is just the quality control. I wouldn't even trust the CyberTruck with a traditionally mechanical control system frankly. The axle would like break. My problem with your comment is that the issue is not steer by wire, and the myth of the computer crashing, especially since the steering computer has to be separate from the rest of the control systems to avoid that exact issue. I would in general trust Tesla with it, except on the CyberTruck. Really the most rushed piece of ... I don't think a word has been invented to insert here ... to ever have existed on the road. It's almost not an exaggeration to say NOTHING on the vehicle makes sense at this point.
You forgot that the Cybertruck's "steer by wire" is actually steer by Bluetooth. Imagine traveling 70 mph on the freeway when you just hear "Bluetooth disconnected"
That totally happened on my cybertruck. We almost all died except it didn't happen and you don't know anything. Steer by wire is nuts. All cars will have it in 7 years (take them that long to catch up). Once you have it, you never want to drive anything else.
The Cybertruck unironically looks worse than the cars I drew when I was 9 years old, and they still had guns on them. Even crazier is the fact that this "vehicle" is already getting sponsored and implemented in stuff like Rocket League and such.
@@tripzero0 Really I'm not. All power to the guy or people that designed the car and consumers are still dumb enough to buy a Cybertruck (presumably you) because it's got Tesla's name on it.
It's legitimately baffling how a old ass toyota or ford truck could probably last longer than the PS1 ass polygon truck that claims it can be used in mars
You'd think there'd be more than just 4 recalls with the trash talk in this video. Unfortunately, they aren't just breaking down at very high rates. The ones that do break down get a lot of attention, because it's a cyber truck and it always gets attention.

At 3:51 the tires was bigger than stock and they failed to put spacers. Those people broke their car. However the cybertruck is still a horrible truck.
"It's like my daddy always said: Stick to what you do. If you're good at basketball then play basketball. If you suck at making cars then, dammit, don't do it."
You know the fact that Ali Koca, also known as the egghead of the 21st century, said wants one of these and says that tesla is going to fix all the issues, tells me a lot about the cybertrucks fans.
True story: my boss neighbor had one in his garage burn. The only reason nobody got hurt was because his other neighbor is a delivery man and got up early enough to report the fire.
How is this thing street legal if you have to have the truck bed cover open at all times because it blocks the rear view mirror and has no crumble zones Those are pretty much the two biggest no-no's when designing a vehicle
It technically has a crumple zone, and it's possible that they actually don't worry about making sure it is technically a car because they don't have to pay for emmisions, which would make it one of if not the only new actual truck being made in America, which would be hilarious as lots of regular cars can pull as well as this thing.
The first cybertruck fatality killed the driver because the battery was pierced, igniting it and burning at 5,000 degrees. That's half the temperature of the surface of the sun
