This is something that Tesla, in general does not get enough credit for. They are the most American made cars in the world because of their supply chains.
@Blueee51 I was more talking about all their vehicles. Not just the Cybertruck. They are the most American built cars. Literally, the top 5. The next highest truck is the F150 at 39th most American built vehicle.
@@randyhome1544And petrol and diesel cars never catch fire right🤣? If you want the facts per 100k evs and 100k petrol cars, EVs are over 10x less likely to catch fire on average. This is per billion miles driven and newer petrol/diesel cars.
I’ve never heard of a ICE car explode when it’s just filling up, parked in a Garage or when it floods. You need to admit batterys are more explosive or at least in experimental for EV scale. A bunch of F150 lighting just burst into flames because of a error. Or floods that cause a short circuit. Even when ICE catch fire then don’t get as hot, hard to put out or toxic as EV fires.
In another video he talked about running the CT and the go kart track. He pushed it so hard he had the brakes smoking. Was very complimentary of how it handled it.
@@danharold3087he was also very complimentary of the braking system. Of which he said he didn’t know of another truck that could have handled the torturous braking he was doing it on the track. Also, he raced the go cart on a go cart track, not an actually track. The guy who owned the go cart track said there was no way the cybertruck would be able to go through the go cart track without doing 20 point turns. The CT steer by wire didn’t have any a single multipoint turn. Amazing.
@@GET2222 It gets even better. Much better. Watch Explaining the Cyber Truck - TST Podcast #885. "Jason Cammisa brought a binder full of facts to settle some misunderstandings (and drama) surrounding the Tesla Cyber truck."
The hummer EV has a MUCH smaller turning radius compared to size. Its rear wheels have just as much steering capability as the front wheels, not just the 10 degrees the cyberfuck has
Well his comment on the track, he missed that it was a go cart track. Where this would be awesome is driving in a parking lot, parking garage or back roads having that excellent turning radius.
I am glad he changed the look. I asked my wife one day to tell me the name of several trucks that were sitting next to each other and she said I don’t know they all look the same. The sad truth you could put them all next to one another and most people could not tell one brand from another. They all look the same.
I'm the biggest Tesla Stan out there, and this was just a great reaction to see. He has some bias against the truck, but doesn't let that overpower the facts in front of him. For me it's awesome to see, even if I think he's wrong about a few things. That's fine. I'm sure there are some ways that the Cybertruck underperforms that I don't understand yet.
And the battery cells themselves, just the product of seven years of work at Tesla and decades of work at another company that Tesla bought. VAG balked at trying to make their own battery cells, saying that they would not be able to equal the battery cell companies. Tesla looked and said, oh, we can do a lot better than that…
@@tribalypredisposed📠 few understand just how insane the 4680 is. Hibar Maxwell and Solar City to name a few of the critical acquisitions. I've got #271 from Munro.
@@TroyRubert yeah, most reviewers, and the delivery event itself, have no mention even of the 4680. But when a reviewer can do 11 second quarter miles over and over, 4680 is why. Because tabless doesn't heat up as much. Which is also why 4680 packs will last a lot longer, and recharge faster too. The reason the Cybertruck pack is basically unserviceable is because Tesla doesn't think it will need to be serviced.
4680 is just a fatter flashlight cell. It is actually less energy dense than the 2170 it replaces. Cast aluminum is a bad thing, not good thing in a truck chassis. So we end up with a truck with pathetic range, and will crack under load.
The reason it looks that way is due to the material. 300 series stainless steel that thick and hardened is impossible to stamp(curve). You sacrifice curves but gain strength and a truck that never rusts and as a work truck I think its a good move.
300 series Stainless work hardens causing difficulty when legacy Automotive processes are utilised. Look closely how door inners are formedand the total door structure is combined .Expect to see this machinery further utilised. Already the skin thickness of the doors is down from 3mm to a more usable 1.8mm. Expect further weight reduction coupled with increased intrusion protection. Somebody had to do this job, 75 year old designs actually need updating.
No rust on the frame either as it is cast aluminum alloy. It will eventually “corrode” over but won’t rust through which is a big deal in the rust belt.
The best thing to do after watching what the CyberUte can do in the wild is watch Sandy Munro touring the production line. This vehicle is Gen 1. The already installed production machinery can with experience make any shape enough customers demand. The underpinnings are super versatile, look closely at the castings and how they relate to vehicle rigidity, all the issues that are obviously wrong about skateboard platforms have been bypassed, your shock towers are properly rigid. Clearly the core can produce Ford E Series and F series versatility. The folded exterior panels are 1. 1st gen. 2. Marketing. 3. Actually good aero. 4. 1.8mm thick not 3mm as in prototype. Given the hot pressing / deep drawing machinery already installed at large scale, watch this space. No I'm not a Xusk fanboi, I prefer to observe the engineering the actual Tesla engineers developed.
I hated it but after seeing one in person… it looks damn good in person. Also having the fastest truck from factory helps too. People hate it cause the way it looks but the put a ton of tech in it that actually makes it bad ass
@@orange_turtle3412 see crash test video it does have crumple zones at least on the front. you don't want them on the sides that's what air bags are for
That is where your wrong. Even the short nose of Cybertruck is the crumple zone. Watch crash testing on the tube of Cybertruck, You'll see the actual crumple zone in action.@@orange_turtle3412
Having raced karts for more than ten years I can promise you that was complete garbage smoke and mirrors. The guy driving the kart wasn't even trying. He could have passed easily.
the cybertruck is shaped like that because triangles are the strongest and it needs that because its a unibody plus it's shaped like an airfoil to maximize its aerodynamic efficiency
The bitter truth is that in order for competitors to produce a truck that can match or exceed Cybertruck’s toughness, speed, acceleration, agility, comfort, bed capacity, … you name it … they will have to copy it. Its appearance is dictated by its function.
The problem also is that it will take years to copy Tesla because the factory is so dramatically different - by the time the competition can duplicate the CT without taking a severe loss, Tesla will be on to some other break through product. Right now these factories are turning out crazy trucks, but in 18 mos when they start building cars the same way, at a fraction of the cost of the competitors, those new customers will NOT care that much that those vehicles look like a door stops, when they zooming around in super-cheap, low maintenance vehicles, that you charge for pennies in your garage like an smart phone.
I'd love to own a Cybertruck. You can't mold the stainless steel body panels. They have to be angular. I still think it looks great, plus it's bullet proof. 😊
Forget bullet proof it is shopping cart proof, and branches and tree limb proof, more importantly when the rear seat is raised the space behind the from seat is perfect for my 2 big dogs.
No not really it will stop a 9mm but that's it and they only use a soft lead bullet to test it a penetrator 9mm could possibly make it through. If you don't know much about ammo types 9mm is pretty weak it is the standard for most police departments but it's definitely not very powerful.
Brit here, a 59-year-old petrol-head. Pick-ups aren't a thin in the UK, at all, our roads are too small, and I have never wanted one...until I saw the CYBT. Its frigging awesome. Think about this: WHY would TESLA, of all companies, make a pick-up truck that looks exactly the same as your grandfather's truck from frigging 80 years ago?!! I have no need for a pick-up.... but I want the CYBT...because IT LOOKS LIKE THE FUTURE! Merry Christmas, have a great 2024.
sadly they lied about the quarter mile, some geoguesser nerd figured out what track it is and it is an 1/8th mile track. and it is the manual base model porsche, which is about 500hp difference. still impressive but not quite as impressive as an quarter mile
Plenty, not that it makes any sense to drag race a truck. The most passes i've ever gotten in a night is 15. That's probably about 30% of the battery life, and they don't slow down much at all until 30% and under, so if you got to the track at 90% you'd be able to hot lap it all night.
I wanna see the semi next . The truck is good for California but what's it gonna do in the states with colder weather. I'd also like to see this cyber truck in the mud
It will lose some range in colder weather. But the 17.44” of true ground clearance will be great in the snow, or mud or whatever else you got, and the super fast traction detection will be great on ice too. If you somehow end up in a ditch anyway, Cybertruck pretty likely to be able to just drive out of it. If not, you can run the heat and stay comfy for days if needed.
Westen is the kind of person I dont care what he’s doing if he makes a video about it I’m gonna watch just because I like the vibes he puts off, he could literally make a video of him playing badminton and I’d click cause I know it’s gonna be hilarious
Westen you crack me up every video😅 But I have to say, what are people looking at when they see this truck? Its hideous, they liking it because they think they should be? Well.. Designed by a 4 year old. I think it must be like the emporers new clothes
I see a brick which can be abused over and over again and not need to be taken in to a body shop every few years to keep my company trucks nice. For sure not the prettiest thing
I see a tool. It's a truss, a triangle, the strongest form in nature, used in bridges and cranes and stuff. Plated with stainless that you can literally beat on all day with a sledgehammer and barely scuff it, and no paint to chip and no rust to worry about. I look at it the same way I would look at a hammer. It's just brutally and unapologetically all business. And I like that. I don't want a truck I have to baby and coddle and take up two parking spaces because I'm so worried somebody might ding it. Regular trucks are now officially for people who don't actually use their truck for anything serious.
@@Blueee51... or use the camera view that's always right there and has a wider field of view than any rear view mirror. I'm quite happy with that. I already pretty much exclusively use the backup camera in my current car.
Perfect city boy vehicle, can't haul shit but groceries. I'd like to see the 700 mile drive test with a trailer, straight through with nothing more then a ten minute fuel stop.
I'm going to need more than a 10 minute stop if I'm traveling 700 miles. Depending on the weight of the trailer it will probably take three 15 minute stops.
It’s very impressive. But it’s main consumer base will the ones who need a 1500 to go to Walmart. ICE vehicles are just better in weight, hotshot where you need to refuel quickly and other such applications.
I personally don't like the look and imagine if it gets damaged, the cost to repair. I'm not an ev fan either.... so it has nothing going for me. And I'm with you, the whole point of a truck is a bed you can use.
I think it's ugly too. Door stopper shapped and a box that'll hold nothing. It's about on the same level as the Japanese Kei trucks. It might do well as a estuarant delivery vehicle though. Small loads, around town only, and if it's several pizzas, you apparantly CAN tow a trailer. There's obviously a reason they didn't make it a 3/4 ton. other than it burning up in the driveway.
0:42 The cyber truck is actually extremely aerodynamic, it has a drag coefficient of only .34. A typical pickup ranges between .46 and .49. That puts the Cyber truck in the range of a typical sedan.
Aww bummer I thought this Redneck actually got hold of a Cyber truck and I was gonna have fun watching him make some kind of attempt to operate it. Well Happy Holidays to you and yours.
It's designed like a sledgehammer, only tougher. Regular trucks are now officially for people who don't actually use their truck, and just want something to look pretty that they spend the weekend waxing and buffing. If you actually want a truck to use - get one clad in literally bullet proof, unpainted, unchippable, undentable, rust-proof stainless steel.
