Tesla should get rid of the under vault storage and put extra battery capacity in there. Get the usable range to high 300 at least if not higher. Just charge more. People will pay it. Then come down with price as able.
I was able to sit in and touch a cybertruck in California last week. It was a great experience. I was impressed. My wife felt the seats were more comfortable than my 2023 model Y. Exit/Entry was great at the lowest height setting. I’m hoping the all season tires will be available soon. Thanks for sharing the video!
The firm seats idk my theory is for longevity, some people go in and out of their work truck alot or may have clothing & belts that are stiff and dirty that could mess up regular seats. About the mirror, they should've just done one that can toggle between normal and digital. Middle seat would be lit, they probably did away with it to save costs and that for some reason people find it more luxurious and upscale that it has no center seat(from what i think).
The two best things about it for me is that we're one car closer to the Model 2 and that 48V might become a thing in their other cars and even the wider car market as it's partly dependent on parts suppliers being able to make money producing the components needed.
I think this dude lives at the Rocklin service centre, I’ve been there three times in the past couple of months for various service appointments and he’s been there every time
I like that new phone charger. It will now fit the larger phones with big cases. My phone will not fit the other vehicles with an otterbox on it. A lot of guys at work sites use bigger phone cases so this is a big plus.
World's largest dash, but a glove box that would struggle to hold gloves. And like every other Tesla, the boneheaded touchscreen to open the glove box.
Yes, because I open my glovebox at least 12 times per day as there's not enough storage in the center armrest, center front console, four door pockets, two behind seat storage pockets, frunk, lower rear trunk, side trunk storage pockets, cargo area or under the front seats.
@@dvader3263 Stupid excuses. Why not have a button on the glovebox like every other vehicle in existance? Can you name one reason putting the control to open it on the screen is an improvement? I can give you a huge reason why it is a problem. Glovebox is where most people put the indurance and registration. A collision may put the screen out of commission. That is when you will need your insurance and registration. Alo for some stupid gimmick.
@@TroySavaryIt's to reduce costs. It's fine opening from the screen cause you hardly ever open the glove box and it's easy enough anyways. If your screen is not working you could probably pry it open as it's held together with magnets.
@@wemakecookie Everything about Tesla is to reduce cost, regardless of whether it is a good idea or not. That will come back to haunt them, just like it did the Big Three in the 70s and 80s. They also had what people thought was an insurmountable kead in tge Nirth American car market, but let accountants rather than engineers start making decisions. That penny pinching lead to quality issues that allowed imports to steal a huge part of the market. Same will happen to Tesla. There are dozens of better made EVs to choose from now.
@@TroySavary Tesla went into new markets and is still stealing more marketshare. They're doing fine. Teslas are the best value EVs. BYD is pretty good as well.
No door handles equals getting stuck outside when it snows or rains and the uncovered electric panel starts acting up. Vehicles in this price range should have lighted door handles
You guys are so natural, friendly and like us, ordinary people😊 it was a great video , one of the best cyber truck videos i have seen ! I watched most of the cyber videos…
AWD @65k would be such good value. I just wish the interior was a little more roomy with more storage as was pointed out. Excited to see what aftermarket stuff comes out, the front center needs retention webbing or something epic put in place. FYI the interior passenger dimensions are the exact same as MY in the front to back legroom, only difference is width.
I was going to order a CyberTruck but with our built-in cabinets, it wouldn't fit in our garage. I thought about tearing ½ of them out to make room at least on one side of the garage for it but in the end, we bought a gently used 2,200 mile 2023 Model X Plaid in Ultra Red with white interior and a yoke. Couldn't be more pleased with that car, it's incredible. CT, maybe in the future.
Great video. funny how people are different.i sat in one in our showroom yesterday and i thought it had the most comfortable front seats i have ever sat in. for reference, been in all teslas and others.
That space in the front reminds me of the old Chevy Lumina APV minivan (aka - The Space Shuttle) which could fit an entire extra large pizza box on the dash.
I have an early reservation for a Cybertruck and, in the past few weeks, I’ve been taking a closer look at Rivian. Their leasing prices are very attractive, especially after the hit my M3P has taken in its value over the past year. I honestly don’t know if I can buy another Tesla after the significant price manipulation (maybe lease?).
The range is the biggest problem with the truck. I also don’t understand why Tesla never seems to provide a place for your sunglasses? My preorder was based on the promised 500+ range as I want to use it for camping ⛺️ and towing. I also wish the rear view mirror had a screen option that could split between rear & sides. The model Y phone holder seems better as the view of the phone isn’t blocked at all.
It seems the interior design was held back a bit by the exterior idk seems some things can be fixed in a refresh but it hard to predict how that will be
Hopefully you see this. This is silly, but it's kind of important. With the back seats flipped up, do you think there is room for a medium size dog to lay down (possibly on a bed/blanket) for a road trip?
I noticed hat the white trim was an attachment, not really integrated into the truck. I also was not bonded very well. The material reminds me of my grandmas cottage cheese leg dimples. I quickly lost love for it, but was very impressed with the model Y. I'm keeping my reservation, but likely will opt for the more practical Y. The Cybertruck range loss on the highway is pathetic. ...and towing long distance is totally impractical.. It's cool, but not for highway speeds or for towing. ...so what good is it?
I got my CT Foundation Series Vin just over a week ago and then got the e mail it was here in San Diego at the delivery center for pick up Wednesday a week ago. I didn’t even go to the delivery center and sent them an e mail telling them I was going to let it go. I’ve decided it’s not worth the extra $20,000 for a product that isn’t quite yet ready for prime time. I’ll wait for a regular priced regular edition. Tesla will be making many improvements and corrections over the next 6-12 months as they have done with all of the other models when they are first released.
@@jeffreykilpatrick3592 I received my e mail To place deposit the first week of December right after delivery event. So about 10 weeks. My assigned Vin was in the 1300s. The day I placed deposit the website said I would receive my delivery between December 2023 and February 2024. If they had delivered before all the reviews about charging curve and actual range I’d have taken delivery. Through those I realized these FS are going to be looked upon like the 4680 model Y and will not be very desirable after paying a $20,000 premium for it. I’m happy waiting, even if it takes getting back in line for 3 or 4 years, to get a good one. I will have saved way more than the lost deposit.
It was cool as a concept, but I honestly think that it would sell much better and be much cheaper to build if they just stuck to a traditional truck body style. All of that wasted space in front of the dash and with the large angled glass would be better served as usable cab space. The features in the bed are great, but the angled sides and tonneau are not conducive to using existing aftermarket racks and equipment for people who might have considered it for a work truck. Honestly, it feels like a lot of wasted potential that amounts to choosing form over function. If I'm looking to upgrade my work rig to electric, I want to be able to transfer over all of my old racking and stowage gear that I paid big bucks for, and have it fit properly in the box instead of having to buy all new racks, drawers, and toolboxes. I also need side access to my bed to put things in and take them out, or to tie down loads. Even if they had just cut it off at the cab and allowed for a traditional bed, flatbed, or service body as an option to be bolted on in place of the angular bed with tonneau, that would have been a huge win. I think that it's going to end up losing out to traditional truck body styles overall because of all of the things that make it unique. It's kind of a niche style vehicle that has elements of a practical truck, but SUV practicality. They missed a big opportunity to offer an 8-foot bed in a "half-ton" that doesn't require a mid-gate. Fitting a 4x8 sheet of plywood or a sofa flat on the bed floor, outside of the cab, and being able close the tailgate would be a huge win for people who buy work trucks. They have the flexibility to do it on this platform if they change the body cues just a little bit. Perhaps they can do a Tesla "Model P" that has the same underpinning and has similar power, bed features, and capability, but in a more traditional pickup truck layout that uses common body parts and similar styling language to the rest of their lineup and is more OEM friendly. The platform seems solid, and it's cool looking, but it's just not quite a truck for people who need trucks. That's just my two cents though as a guy who does truck stuff with his truck and is hoping to swap his LS powertrain for a bolt-in EV option due to the awful Silveravalanche decision that GM made. Such versatile platforms, with so much wasted potential. At least a person might be able to mod an F-150 Lightning into a SuperCab with a 6.5 ft bed or Regular cab with an 8 foot bed, because it's got some shared parts with its ICE counterpart and similar dimensions. Give us cab and bed configuration options to entice us to switch to EVs, and cab and chassis options so that we can fit them with work truck platforms. I'm still waiting for the day that I get to see an EV powered wheel snatcher towing a broken down ICE vehicle. I kinda thought Tesla might offer the platform to do it first, but I guess that I may have overestimated their desire for practical applications. Atlis is looking like the best option...if the XT ever launches. I hope that these manufacturers start paying attention to how work trucks are used sooner than later.
I do hope Tesla is listening: 1) The rear view mirror is tiny 2) The glovebox tray is tiny 3) The side mirrors are tiny (not good for towing IMO) 4) The sun visor mirror is tiny 5) There center console is large, yet has tiny storage space 6) An option should be included to allow for a front center seat 7) The onscreen rear view camera view is tiny (a full screen option should be integrated) 8) The sun visors are tiny (the sun will be passing through that giant windshield) She is right, Tesla you can do better. 2 Oreos fit in the glovebox, you guys are too funny!! 🤣🥲.
Tesla had to deliver on the excellent ride quality but they know the batteries are not all the way there for a 500 mile truck. They're keeping prices high now to limit production. Lets see if they do a "mini truck" along with the compact car. By the time Cybertruck production hits stride in 2026, there may well be designs for a CT2. Or maybe some kind of refresh with new batteries & longer range in 2027. People saw the release day as the end of a long journey for Cybertruck. It was really just the beginning. I will have to put a pin in my use case for a rental until RWD comes out and I can see what rental prices look like. I'd almost rather get an X for the family and pay for it renting out the CT more often.
I don't understand why more people don't get a Model X right now especially with the tax credit at Point of Sale. This car is less then $75K with the credit 🤯 like where else can you get an SUV with that level of class for that price. This is the best price we've ever had. Buy now before its too late.
@@TailosiveEV Yes but pickups are popular with European construction workers. Plus the CyberTruck is probably too big for many countries side streets. That’s minor overall.
Doesn't change the fact US sells 10x as many trucks as Europe. Cheaper for Tesla to just focus on the US market so they don't have to export pickups overseas. Europe is more about compacts and Crossovers which GigaBerlin will focus on
Everything in it sounds cheap plasticy. What a shame given that Tesla actually does pretty nice materials wise in the Model 3 and Y. This isn’t minemalism. This is cheating out and going bare bones on a product they clearly couldn’t get anywhere close to the promised price.
Definitely not at launch. Would be dumb to price it low when demand is this high. But the cheaping out on materials I think is a sign they have a lot of margin to work with in the future. They’ll be able to profitably lower prices a lot to match demand
It reminds me of a modern day dvd player on wheels. I personally don't see anything about this vehicle that impresses me over a $50,000.00 truck. In my opinion you're pretty much paying the extra $70,000.00 ( compared to a $50,000.00 truck) for the brand... I honestly would rather have a Toyota Tacoma. Tesla, I am by no means a vehicle manufacturer so my opinion doesn't hold any water but I think that there is a lot of room left for improvement on this vehicle. I'm not impressed. It just seems to me it's a waste of an additional $70,000.00 just to drive around a brand.
Wow this is a really good video with lots of insight i haven't seen elsewhere. Good job guys. I do like the stiff armrest but agree it will wear out with time, a magnet and still arm rest would be ideal. Also i agree bigger glove box Softer seats AND arm rest padding, on my m3 i headed how hard and unsoft the armest was. My 08 altima had a better armest lol Also the glass going past your head wouldve been amazing like the X and made it really feel like the future
Minivan front end, takes more time to open the door than an 80's pickup and children would have better luck attaching the body panels. It's no wonder Tesla can't even do a steering wheel right
Dude you guys are kind of insufferable. Have you ever been told that? You complain as much as a female. Gives me “I want a free meal because there was lemon in my water” vibes
You Live In Your Car, And yet you insisted on getting the smaller Tesla???? You really need to learn to invest in yourself for when it is realistic and the long term. Instead of Penny Pinching Everything. I am 59. Learn to splurge in things that are Important.When you have the money (Which You Do!!!!!!)
No one buys a truck, especially a Cyber Truck, as a work truck. Average truck in texas is $100K average work truck $30K. No one even put groceries in the bed never mind wood and pipes.
@@TailosiveEV…agreed…the new car dealers I’ve been to of recent that have regular ICE work trucks sell them for way over $30,000. All trucks are just dang expensive.
@@TailosiveEV In my business we have 13-15 trucks on the road every day (pool cleaning) and $30k is the most we would ever pay for a truck. At 60K we would be bankrupt in a year. Can you imagine how much we would have to charge to clean a pool if I had 15 $100k cyber trucks in our fleet. Cyber Truck is NOT a work truck. It is a status symbol. If a contractor showed up in a $100K vehicle I would send him away.
