I've Had My Cybertruck For 1 Week & 4,500 Miles! Here's What I Think After Driving It Across America 

That‘s true.

How was your heater?

should not a car that you pay like 60-70k to buy have a door that open well lol why he have to even mention it

It's like saying my car's wheels turn good and it's amazing! like that xD

​@@Error_-qz2zr cause its total coping

Kyle should have Alyssa do a bikini car wash of the Cybertruck

😂​@@Christoph-sd3zi

Call it Colton Debugs a New CyberTruck …

Just use an angle grinder. Should be fine

Blacky?

Samsung got the contract to make the rear view mirror display, but Tesla cancelled it because "there is already a big screen"

@@Only1_Rudeboy Yea, I think they have really stripped the CT to its bones from what it could/should have been. That had that nice instrament cluster like the S/X and then the telescoping tailgate, 500 mile range. The body is its one redeeming quality. I may pick one up when they drop into the 60's in a few years.I just can't justify todays cost for what it is.

Exactly

We have these for a different car and good quality , but tthe usual mirror function is then only working in 1 mode only, you do not have the possibility to flip the angle during evening and night, when the headlights of the cars are blinding you. The usual dual purpose of display (in our case we use the mirror as a display for the front camera) and mirror is working great, but the night position is missing. Have not seen one that offers both. Therefore those are only sold as aftermarket solutions at least here. Bought in 2023 so we got the most recent tech and not something outdated.

@@crimsondecade7420 What about the drive by wire steering ? The rear wheels turning for better turning radius... ?? The Model X comfort...?? And so many other things ? Sorry, totally disagree with you !

I could not agree more. I’m tired of computer dorks focusing a disproportionate amount of time to touch screens in cars versus how the car drives.

Remember Air it Treated like a Fluid it's why a Blunt Head is often more efficient than a Point think ICBM or Bullet. BTW the Cybertruck has a pretty flat area until the bonnet which is a waste they could make it a foot or two longer and shape lower part too slop up the front too be more Aerodynamic, Also I hate the Sloped Bed Sides sure it looks nice but makes it so much harder too side load via heavy Machinery as well as just Reach over and grab stuff out without having to walk around to the back and reach in for what's meant too be a Work Vehicle is Ludicrous! The Cybertruck ended up costing more than Promised was Late and Features Promised are missing or lacking! I like some of the tech like the 800 to 1,200V Technology which means less Wiring and Faster Charging!

yeah the ct is sit all around

You should see the delivery video. She hated it but low-key loves it now just won't admit it

Oh I know 😂

Alicia is a loser. This guy kicked her for some young woman and she is back with him again.

Yes!

Accurate depiction

Looks like someone did that! There is a CT with an old WW2 shark mouth wrap.

@@garybushey965 It looks really cool.

Not cool enuf???

It's like you can't just have an opinion on the Cybertruck. It either has to be the single greatest thing ever to grace our roads, flawless in every way (you just don't understand if you think it's bad) or it's objectively the worst human invention ever to roll on asphalt and the ugliest sin against design ever to sully our city streets.

@@MaskedMammal exactly! And to be really honest John from Tesla owners of Silicon Valley has completely turned me off to it with his constant bombardment of repetitive postings. I already ordered an R2 rivian and I am going to very much enjoy that

Sounds like some hate going on there.

@Hugo-py2ce not from me. He's completly unbiased. Every other RU-vidr completely fawns over the truck

Amen brother

Yep, and in 2017 when I opened the FWDs on my Model X, folks would run over in amazement. I miss it now.

@@OurTeslaModelXJourneyNow people think U R a moron for paying so much for a shit car.

Same here, but 2014. Where I was living, I was the only Tesla around. I felt like a celebrity

@@lemongavine Now you’re just another douchey beta

My Rivian was the same for the first year as well. Still happens once in a while, but we're down to maybe once a quarter now.

but at least he is bulletproof, nobody buys an EV to safe energy!

That's all this Cybertoy is good for. It is definitely not a work truck. It looks completely useless for anything other than boosting an idiot's ego.

Rock star attention? More like clown star attention.

109%

In general you just won't say anything or change the subject.

True, but a baby is not a truck. When you compare a truck to a truck, then yeah, people will and have said negative things in public to persons face.

I did...that hurt

When you have a kid, you don't have control over how they look. It's 100% in your control whether or not you want to buy a hideous rolling triangular refrigerator from a PS2 game from a company owned by an antisemite with the maturity of a 12 year old. Your comparison is a false equivalency.

1st thing I said when I saw it.

Right on

It is if you drive on highways in parts of the US

Mileage has always been calculated as a mix of city / highway driving, averaging at ~55 mph, even for gas cars. Acting like Tesla is lying for using the same standard is silly. Every car should have to list both a mixed + highway (75mph) rating

Don’t know where you live, but that’s cruising speed on most interstates in the western US.

Higher speeds reduce range for any vehicle. It would make a lot of sense for the EPA to give EVs a city / highway range vs the current single mixed range, but for now it's pretty simple, on Highway trips you'll generally get about 2/3 the predicted range. You'll recharge more often probably at about 40-50% of the range. So a 300 mile range EV will have 200 miles of highway range and you'll generally recharge every 120-150 miles. z On the other hand if you make videos for a living the "OMG my EV is not getting its predicted range!" is viral gold.

@@JK-mo2ov That's the exception, not the rule.

Spending 120k on a POS can sober one up, VERY quickly.

That is why pointing and laughing is how I will react when I see this absurdity in public.

Completely agree. You got to be a big doosh bag to go out of your way and walk up to a stranger and tell them "Boy your truck is ugly". Most people will just puke inside a bit and move along. In contrast if you love it, it's always easy and nice to give out a compliment. In other words. They have no idea how many people hate the truck because the only people approaching them are the ones that like it. It's unique and new right now. Once it becomes normalized, those positive interactions will stop too. I can appreciate its look but it's definitely not for me. It's easy for me to state that here but I definitely wouldn't walk up to a cybertruck owner in person and tell them that. Unless they are my friend. Then all bets are off and I will laugh profusely every time I see them.

I kept waiting for an explanation of that

This seems hard to believe but is an important point you are making if true.

@@gurupurkha Why is it hard for you to believe?

Yeah, you just made me realize he didn’t mention four wheel steering in the whole review - sup with that??

Could also be camera positions. If the cameras are in different places or at different heights, which I would have to assume they are given the different form factor, that will most likely require software changes to support.

@@Skotty64081I agree.

Simple thing to try that I’ve done for years add rain x to the camera lense or even a good ceramic or spray wax helps a ton with build up

Yeah same.

Lots of dialing in going on here.

Th rest of em givin him credit PLEASE DONT GO ONE BRIGHTER WITH HUBERT

In person it looks smaller.

Yeah I think it is wild and really cool looking. It’s not for everyone and of course there are going to be to be problems but what the heck it’s fun!

Th top notch technology is EEEEEEEEEPIC INDEED

Idk, I think I hate it and I’d still check it out.

Me too. I think it's hideous but I'd still be curious

2-faced ism prevails

Yes my grandma had an AMC Pacer, and for a lot of people telling her how they thought it was ugly and why would she buy it. She also had people tell her they liked it too.

People dislike change. Makes them fearful so they stick with their past possibly horrible choices.

@@colingenge9999People hate being lied to….EV’s are all about lies.

Most people just want to defend their own purchase and say it's the best around. It makes things worse especially when they are stuck in a 96 month loan @ 9 percent and upside down 50K. They have to convince themselves because they're stuck with their truck for the long haul

@@JK_Vegasyeah only if you’re poor.

That social battery will run out soon I think, after that who knows what people will say about it.

@@OtterFlash Here in SF Bay Area it’s already played out. The type of people buying them doesn’t help either, kind of older dorky guys who wouldn’t want or have a use for a truck with lots of money to spend on a spectacle. The one most are interested in now are the upcoming Rivians

This is a lot of owners reason for getting one. It's vanity. Because a truck, it isn't.

@@joecoolioness6399It’s a truck. It has a bed.

Isn’t that every light?

And Chomps. Alyssa is amazing. What a wonderful and interesting couple. Integrity and intellect.

im embarrassed to say I am one.

She's got a lot of these... grounded in negativity towards Elon/Tesla and in this case vehicle owners of a Cybertruck.

I like the longevity software, nobody used this term.

The R1T is a much more finished and practical product, especially the refreshed one. With the amount of problems and issues listed here abut the CT I wouldn’t think twice and choose Rivian.

Tougher than a MF TANK

Don't forget to factor in $10+ K for replacement batteries down the road. Do they have disposal fees like tires when you replace them?

@@RedBud315 I agree but I'm thinking more like 30K. And battery disposal is going to be a big problem. Elon says "recyclable" like it's a magic word. But just because something is "recyclable" doesn't mean it's free to get rid of. I've taken tractor trailer loads of stuff like broken concrete, bricks, cinder blocks, torn up asphalt, etc to the places where they recycle it and they charge me by the ton to dump it. Lots of plastic is recyclable but they are paying to dump it in landfills, because it isn't profitable to recycle it.

Same with my F250.

I can relate so much

At one point it was actually going to be exoskeleton with 3mm thick sheets. The design made sense then. I think the current thickness of 1.8mm SS could be formed into shapes with large enough presses

Our power company here loves EVs. The have a huge amount of extra power that they sell cheap at night and EVs are their answer. No grid upgrade needed!

Only used 6 😎

And some 0000 steel wool

Agree I also thought that would be obvious plus driving characteristics for a 🎉different body , I sure they are running many tests.

That can be fixed easily by controlling the steering rack directly. Being drive-by-wire that should be trivial to do. More likely it's the size, and maybe the camera positions. Nothing else should matter.

lmao it can't handle any of that

And superior

​@@ericjarvis3051very much so

Great call!!! Elon will drop the price as soon as delivery positions start to bale on him… Leaving us upside down on another Tesla loan so he can maintain market share

Oh come on, give them credit - it could have been designed by an 8-year-old! :)

i think it was literally one of Elon's dumb kids

👏 preach brother. Honestly WTF how were these issues missed or maybe they know about them but rushed the CT to production because they were way behind schedule. Send it out and fix it later mentality, sigh.

What would make you not believe this? It's Teslas very MO. Over promise, under deliver, and 5 years late. This shouldn't be shocking in any way.

Good stuff

I think it’s reasonable to want direct connection on your steering and brakes. People bring up airplanes like that’s a good comparison. Planes are inspected between every flight and have extremely robust scheduled service. People don’t do this with their cars. The other aspect is that the R1T looks better and RJ is a guy I’d rather support than than the other guy.

It has nothing to do with how often it's used. If you get a tree limb puncture, or air down and loose a bead your tire plugs and small compressor aren't gonna do anything. You have a spare tire, especially on capable vehicles because you don't know what you're gonna run into.

I've been over-landing and off-roading for over 40 years in the in the Rockies, Sierra Madre Occidental, Sierra San Pedro Martir, Sierra Sierra de San Borja, the Cascades, The Pacific Coast Ranges of B.C., Vancouver Island, etc. I know about being self-sufficient, trip planning, navigating, first aid, vehicle maintenance and repair, etc. etc. etc. What I've learned is that with modern tires and tire plugs, knowing how to air down properly without risking de-beading, and driving with awareness, a single flat tire is not the most likely mode of failure. Do you bring 2 or more spare tires? Because you never know when you're going to puncture two of them simultaneously on the same hazard. Do you bring a spare alternator or voltage converter? How about a spare steering arm or tie rod? Because you never know when a broken one might leave you stranded. Do you bring a spare fuel pump? How about a spare battery? The point is, no matter what kind of vehicle you drive, it has multiple modes of failure and it's impossible to bring enough spares for every scenario and a spare tire is particularly egregious due to the size and weight of it and the fact that it only protects against one flat, and then you no longer have a spare. A plug kit can repair multiple flats on the same outing and, by running the tire pressures within their sweet range, and avoiding road hazards, you are very unlikely to have a flat that can't be plugged. In an emergency, most sidewall punctures can even be repaired with creative use of a plug kit. It only needs to get you back to a tire shop or within cellular range. A more useful tool than a spare tire is a satellite phone. We no longer live in the 1950's (or even the 1980's). There are many ways to skin a cat. Don't get hung up on one method. Most people who enter the backcountry in a vehicle are woefully unprepared (and lack of a spare tire is not their biggest concern). @@Jtaugner

Lol. A flat tire is by far the most likely thing to leave you stranded. I'm only 36 years old and I would have been stranded outside of cell phone range countless times without my spare tire. I've never had more than one flat at a time but I've used a spare tire at least 15 times.

With 15 flat tires in 20 years of driving, you're doing it wrong. No wonder you need a spare. @@DamonsTradingLaboratory-pb7tp

@@DamonsTradingLaboratory-pb7tp You're not gonna win with Boomer Bill whose been driving forest roads since WW Nam'. It's cute you mention "avoiding road hazards". Last I checked it's damn hard to do when you're actually off-roading banging off rocks, downed trees and whatever other obstacles are in the way and not on a prepared or maintained road. It's also funny you mention not carrying spare parts; given that I carry spare u-joints, spare studs/lug nuts, tie rods, end links and fluids. Why? Because like Damons mentioned they are things that'll leave you stranded, and when you actually use your vehicle for off-roading things break and it's better to be prepared. What the hell is a satellite phone gonna do when I'm hours or days away from civilization or family/friends.

Yes. Tacc is available

…so the truck can be even heavier? We need an increase in battery efficiency to drive range.

Every flipper is one less CyberTruck manufactured and sold by Tesla. It's about keeping the production line busy and demand strong.

It just proves that they don't expect to sell the CT in any great numbers. 98% of the preorders are cancelled.
