15:15 "Almost completely blocks the oncoming traffic in most corners." Well don't expect to take this truck camping, then. Also, he's speeding and laughing on a downhill run in a vehicle he can't see out of. Real world drivers are gonna kill people. Starting with themselves.
@RawandCookedVegan I guess you haven't ever actually used them, especially outside of an urban environment. They get dirty or wet as you drive, and they don't work so well.
@@barrydworak I haven't n I wouldn't pay 100 k for this. But I like the closing comment. Tesla attempted something different in many ways at the design, structural and electrical level. This is praiseworthy and moving the automotive engineering ball forward. Legacy auto has been too complacent.
“It’s a pickup truck; it’s not made for two-lane roads.” I dunno, two-lane roads are just about everyone in the American west. A visibility problem on two-lane roads is a big problem if you are doing normal truck things.
@@tianikane3312 They why is it so big? You'd think a "city truck" should be smaller. Regardless every car should reasonably be able to drive on a normal road.
@@browneyeofsauron1244 Yeah unfortunately most trucks in America are like that at the moment, and most people buying them don't even use them for towing or anything truck related 😂
Why didn't they tow anything or take it on a dirt road? Its a truck, but they are reviewing it mostly as a city car. 'Its a truck... Not for two lane' what?!
It's main problem, or some will say feature. For most of the douches who will own one it will be their first truck so they have no idea what good is in that sense. I heard that bit about 2 lane and I thought exactly the same thing. A few years ago the beemer douches migrated to Tesla, now they'll be in these. If you own a real 4WD get ready to pull a lot of these out of the mud.
It actually really really sucks as a truck. Most people who own one will confirm it’s just too damn heavy and too low to be a good truck. It’s awful for off roading and the bed while a decent size is a nightmare to reach in and out of. It all form and no function. Most owners will tell you that it’s just a much bigger “insert Tesla model here”
Reviewer‘s and influencers have learned that if they talk badly about the product. They don’t get the vehicles to pretend that they’re being honest reviewing
cameras in normal modern cars are VERY useful for backing up. Over the years I had 3 accidents like that before cameras-too confident or lasy to get out and LOOK. Cameras for front vision, not so much. The sound system must be incredible but I would never use it except in stop-and-go. I like hearing things.
Democrats support EV and currently hold congress, the house, and the president office. Jesus F-ing Christ, even when democrats hold all the power against the weak and pathetic GOP, they still blame republicans. Joe Biden came out last week and actually said the economy is bad because of Trump, despite being in office for 4 years and sending about $200 billion to Ukraine, Israel, AND Palestine. I’m not for either party, but come on!
Lol, the dual steer motor quip about airplane reminds me of an old saw about twin engine aircraft: Don't worry, if one engine fails, the second has more than enough power to get you to your crash site.
Its not about what other people actually think, its about what you think they think. People who drive noisy motor cycles think everyone else admires them. People who experience a noisy motorcycle going past think the owner is an annoying menace to society.
Yeah i was Carlos would have given comparison to other trucks visibility, rather than just a vague statement of A pillars blocking during corners. Like how much does that happen with a typical crew cab truck.
Saw my first one today in Apex, NC. I am ambivalent. The styling is not my bottle of beer. The young man inside looked cartoonishly tiny framed by the front side glass. All the panels looked dirty. I am sure that he is happy with his pavement princess. Bless his heart.
I generally consider myself "sensitive to outward visibility" when I'm piloting 4 tons of metal down the road I share with other human beings. Interested in what's out there.
@CarAndDriver 15:00 "if you are sensitive to outwards visibility" the A pillar cause very poor diagonal visibility, which makes it dangerous in city traffic. CarAndDriver why are you sugar coating this?
Having everything on the screen is absurdly annoying to me. California car guys always review these things in perfect conditions/"ideal" offroad conditions. Salt/mud gonna make that rearview camera useless real quick.
When CT starts to be involved in traffic accidents, you will start to see what a death trap it really is both for passengers and not least for oncoming traffic, pedestrians and cyclists, fortunate that the United States is so poorly designed that not many people walk and cycle, in now a reason why we in Europe are so lucky that we have reasonable traffic rules that make CT illegal over here in the western free world😁
Can you imagine a couple of ranchers driving that around covered in mud and cow manure with a 100 gallon diesel tank and a blue healer cow dog in the back? Me neither.
90% of truck buyers now wouldn't do that either. For a cool commuter vehicle with more capability than 90% of the suv's of the world I'm all in. Don't compare it to an HD diesel rancher's truck because it isn't
@@readysetmoses Yeah it's a Pavement Princess but I'd like to see a rancher go after it with a cutting torch and a welder (don't need 4 seats to throw hay) and use it for a real truck for a year.
Apparently the wheel covers have been recalled because the covers were cutting into the sidewall of the tire. And speaking of tires, will an owner have to buy the funky tires from Tesla? What will the cost be for a set of new shoes for the truck?
Running through tires is one of the biggest complaint of Tesla owners. In my *"**#Wheels** playlist"* there are four channels complaining about them having to change tires on the Teslas frequently. And on the *"Whamm Bamm Tesla Cam channel"* The Teslas are forever hydroplaning and getting in accidents. While the cars around them are still driving perfectly on a rainy road.
@@icosthop9998 the main tyre makers now make EV tyres and are marked as such and last as long as normal tyres. The bigger issue is that because the acceleration is so fast people can´t resist trying it out and that will reduce your tyre life. This truck does 0-60 in 2.9 seconds. That´s the same as a Lamborghini Adventador
It’s not about “getting money”, it’s that if a critic gives a bad review they will not be given early access to review a future car. Same thing happens with video games. It’s why so many modern games score high but have very low player retention rates.
I saw one of these in person here in May 2024. I’m not a designer, but I noticed that this vehicle looks more like something made in a shop class by high school kids than a vehicle that is rolled off a modern assembly line after being built by professionals.. it actually looks like a crude kit car, all flat panels. I could see that that would eliminate stamping out curved fender shapes and curved door shapes and curved hood and trunk shapes. Having all flat surfaces. in person, it really struck me as looking like a body that a little kid and his dad made to fit on a go cart for the soap box derby.. I realize beauty is in the eye of the beholder, but the movie star that this vehicle most closely reminds me of, is Frankenstein, with his flat head and forehead, Herman Munster.. i’m gonna say this now, but I have a feeling that Tesla is in big trouble, I just have a feeling that they may go bankrupt.. It would be similar to the white starship building line that built the titanic, they built the ship, and on it’s supposed maiden voyage, it sunk.. I just have a feeling this was a knee-jerk sad flash in the pan that we will be laughing about 10 years from now, and they will be making television shows, saying, remember the Tesla? And the yugo and the Edsel., and the Corvair, and the VW beetle.. I still think the electric car is not a bad idea once they solve the battery problem of safety, cost, range, and replacement, and dangers in the event of a crash… I just think it was too much of a rush job. They need to come up with a plan for recycling old batteries safely, they need to come up with a plan for charging stations, they need to come up with a battery that is not going to burst into flames, they need to come up with training for fire departments And emergency responders that can handle emergencies with people, trapped inside of crashed EVs.. Keep in mind that most fire departments depend on volunteers. These volunteer fire departments are not going to have sophisticated equipment specifically for handling runaway EV battery fires. China has already had over 21,000 lithium ion battery car fires in 2023 alone.. there needs to be a policy on where to park. Evies, you can’t really park them in parking garages.. you probably can’t park them near a petroleum tank farm or near a natural gas facility, I don’t think a gasoline or diesel fuel tank truck driver should be driving an EV to work.. I don’t think someone that works Near grain elevators should be driving an EV.. even someone that works for ammonium nitrate fertilizer companies should not be driving an EV.. neither should anyone that works for or near a company that handles ammonia or chlorine.. no electric truck should ever haul chlorine, if you have a CDL license, you know that you cannot drive a commercial vehicle through a tunnel with any amount of chlorine on your truck, not even 1 ounce of chlorine.. there needs to be technical training for people that are going to work on Evies. Right now that is nonexistent to a great extent… then there’s the tax base. People that drive, gasoline engine and diesel, powered vehicles, pay road tax with every gallon of fuel they buy.. EV owners pay zero towards highway and road maintenance through fuel taxes. Here in Pennsylvania I think the tax per gallon is something like $.58 per gallon… I would like to see the governments take over the casinos, and use our profits from the casinos to fund highway infrastructure instead of a few unknown investors, taking about $2 billion a month profit per casino on average, at least that is how much they report.. this whole mad dash towards electrifying all the cars in the country was too much too soon. I believe we will get to that point, maybe in about 40 or 60 years, but right now, it’s just not practical… if you’re going to argue for the switch to battery powered cars and trucks because they don’t produce pollution, think again, the results are out, it takes 40 metric tons of carbon producing effort to produce just one single EV battery for a car. And all of those electric cars that are not using gasoline or diesel, all they are doing is exporting their pollution to the power station that is burning fossil fuel to make the electricity to charge the EVs.. statisticians can come up with all kinds of facts and figures, but just remember who’s writing the reports. What is their agenda. figures, lie, and liars figure ..
@@serafinacosta7118 i’m glad I didn’t say it. Those are your words. I would say it’s a car designed by Practical engineers, not Creative designers.. although it is a practical design with all of those flat surfaces, including the windshield and rear window.. very practical, like working with flat aluminum house siding or sheets of plywood..that’s a great cost saving design, not many shaping and stamping stops along the assembly line. Not even painting. That is a huge savings in itself. practical ,if not very aesthetically appealing..
@@Jodyrides it is not practical either. Sharp corners were a rage in the 80’s. Around the 90’s every car maker moved away from sharp to round. Wind tunnel results and fuel saving mandates in passenger cars pretty much sealed the fate on sharp corners. Which designers knew intuitively during the 40’s. And then there is overhead design. Which in the Tesla truck needs to be overcompensated by increasing roof clearance height. They slope the horizontal lines severely to get favorable wind tunnel results. You can’t bend stainless steel sheets as well as you do with carbon steel. Hence your freedom to improve upon product design is severely limited. Corrosion is no longer an issue with car bodies. So having stainless steel is nothing short of a wet dream from a car maker who thinks he can walk on water. Until, there is , his competitors catch up with him. The design is horrible. Reminds me of brutalist architecture from the 60’s and beyond. Horrible. And unpractical.
Yes fly by wire in a plane seems and is safe in a plane. The aviation industry has standards and the planes are inspected and maintained quite vigorously. In some person's vehicle I feel after time these systems will be prone to issues from improper maintenance. Have you seen the miled out vehicles on the roads today? When the cost to maintain these systems is seen some people will be lax in upkeep of vehicles. No mechanical backup is not a good idea.
Planes are fly-by-wire for many, many reasons that won’t fit into a RU-vid comment. A car with a drive-by-wire steer is terrifying at best. This is a tesla thing, creating a problem to a solution, and reinventing things that already had been invented, and doing it the most inefficient way.
these comments are very ignorant. there are lots of advantages to drive by wire, (manufacturing, cost, reliability, driver experience, etc.) why would you think its a bad thing? Because its popular to hate on Tesla now?
This guys really trying to claim that since there’s copper in front bumper and not the door panels that it’s done in purpose and not just a hodgepodge of random metal 😂
A ten-year-old boy with a straight-edge and a giant novelty pencil from Disney World was given an assignment in school: Draw the COOLEST TRUCK EVER! This is the result.

Wish you had tested the wiper so that you might see where the fluid drains down behind the frunk and eventually out of the vehicle. Or checked for rust as many reviewers have found.
@@royhoward4798there are different stainless steel grades and I’m sure that this truck will be rusting from within. Witnessed this first hand on so called stainless steel rusting from within…..GARBAGE!!
The CyberTruck wasn't designed by truck users, it was created to satisfy the ego of Elon Musk. No way the everyday journeyperson truck owner is finding this vehicle a practical alternative to GM, Ram, Chevy or Ford trucks. But if you are creating 'content' then it's definitely the truck to buy.
Cybertruck this year will outsell Ford and GM electric pick up trucks this year combined. The dimensions were roughly based on a Ford 150. It´s difficult to bend stainless steel so that partially set the styling look and yes Elon did not want a normal pick up style. Had he done a Rivian with 12 V electrics and no steer by wire he would have had the cyber truck built 2 years ago. It does get a lot of attention wherever you go.
It's certainly true that it was Elmo's [fever] dream, including making it from stainless steel. His engineers and designers almost certainly pushed back on things like using stainless steel and the fugly design, but no one is going to tell Elmo anything once he's made up his mind.
@@topherdean1024 Then I will be sure to never hire you for any project, ever! Can't use someone who's judgment is so badly compromised that they are totally divorced from reality, you could never be trusted.
very few truck buyers are "journeypersons" who actually use their truck as a truck. CT is perfect for the suburban tech worker who wants to drive a sportscar disguised as a heavy vehicle.
what is "sensitive to visibility"? I mean, what does that mean for driving a car? Also, what was this review, no mention of the recalls, no mention of the problems, just... giggles over the acceleration? C&D I used to have a subscription.
Hey, don't knock the Aztec, I just bought one for $450. At that price, I figure it has to be a fine machine. (The ad said it just needed a few minor repairs and TLC 🤣)
@@brandall101 Oh it was stolen. Busted window and ripped ignition. Now why anybody would want to, is murky: it couldn't be as a getaway car, you'd stick out like driving an Edsel. I only bought it because of the all wheel drive. I'm building out a truck camper, and want tow the 4X4 and use it as a runabout when camped. A sort of ugly jeep.
Tesla owners would tell you to "simply" use voice commands. However, it you have passengers and / or kids in the vehicle, all bets are off as to whether the computer will understand you. Consumer Reports say that the best infotainment systems have a combination of physical controls, knobs/buttons, etc.
Have you driven a Tesla? At first, it was sketchy driving through NYC traffic and trying to use the screen, but then I discovered it has voice command. That was it, you never have to look at the screen when you're driving, you just tell the car what you want.
@@TheRealColt45 and you never driven in the winter months up North. Are you some Tesla owner, employee , or influencer ? That is what trucks are meant for. To get dirty , to be washed, and to tow things. Duh.
@@serafinacosta7118 lol yes. 😅😅. Those are the most basic things you would do with the truck thus my sarcastic response. We already know of one cybertruck being bricked simply by going through a regular car wash and anyone who has tried to tow anything with the cybertruck has ended up with less than 100 mi of range. It's a joke. And actually I live in the high mountains of the Sierra Nevada where we typically get about 600 inches of snow per year so I know what I'm talking about with winter driving. 😉
Seems like every reviewer of the CT has found build quality issues.... like finding a random bolt, or bolts not tightened down, or massive leaks into the frunk. I love the concept of EVs. I want them to work, but I am not willing to be a beta tester. Tesla doesn't do anything for the EV industry by making them so gimmicky and so horribly put together. Tesla has one of the worst build qualities of any car maker and they seem much more interested in the whoopie cushion type gimmicks instead of practicality.
Sorry, But just like a few dead pixels on a PC monitor draw your eye, both of those doors look like some kid has been playing with the stainless fridge and left dirty smudges on the edges.
C'mon, Hagerty was a paid campaign. It was an ad for the CT and not much else. Friends keep friends honest by telling them the truth. Hagerty did no such thing.
Silliest statement ever, smh - just because YOU think that's the reason people buy a CT doesn't make it true, there's a MUCH larger segment that want THE BEST PICKUP ON THE ROAD, the SAFEST pickup on the market, GREAT performance and handling and much much more. That you're STUCK on the form over function says a lot about why YOU would buy a pickup and not everyone else's motivation!
Well, to be fair, so are 95% of consumer pickups since 2004. Pickups stopped being about functional use ability long ago and became emotional support vehicles for tender people.
This review had issues. They have a heavy vehicle and they tell you use the light vehicle regime and that is cool. You have to protect it from rain. You did not mention driving it at night. And then you compare a fly by wire plane that is constantly checked and repaired by trained professionals to a daily use likely bi-yearly serviced car driven by an normal person. I am personally not impressed.
Apparently they are recalling just under 4000 for the accelerator pedal issue; how may do they need to sell to break even on the amortized development costs? In virtually every other country with an advanced economy you would get a response that might indicate that you had lost your mind if you started talking about it being bullet proof. Likewise, if you say that it is a truck and therefore not suited to operating on a two lane road. Those points are purely academic, I admit, as in Europe it would considered to be a design optimised to injure pedestrians - so it isn't going to be on European roads, ever. And even it was, you would need a special licence to drive it.
@@glynnwright1699 I'd buy one in a second for use here in the US. It is the exact opposite of the 7000 lb cybertruck. Doug Demuro reviewed a BAC Mono here in CA. His expressions while accelerating are priceless.
"Sensitive to visibility"?!?! You mean being disturbed by the idea of potentially not being able to see other traffic you could collide with? I would suggest that if you aren't disturbed by that idea, then you should not be on the road. I stopped watching at that point. I now consider your views on driving to be irrelevant and have no further interest in them.
Did you mention that the cyber truck could only tow 70 miles before it almost ran empty. Which is far worse than the Ford F150 lightning? So basically you have to make sure there’s a charging station every 60 miles and be willing to sit there for an hour and a half for each charge. What a way to spend the weekend.
The bullet proof part is just to show how tough the exterior is. It's so tough that it can stop bullets, not that you should go get shot in it. why is that so hard to understand?
@@rustygear447 Making cybertrucks like this is one of the dumbest ideas ever. It is still going to get dented and warped in collisions, and since those panels are welded onto the chassis as this video says, you're gonna want to just ditch this thing and replace it with an ICE car when you get the repair costs estimate. Minor dents are also not a significant issue. Only OCD people really care about those. My car has a bunch, and I hardly ever even notice those. The bullets used to do the demonstration of those panels being "bulletproof" were also not the type that would be most commonly used by criminals, meaning that this whole song and dance about bulletproof panels is really just a b.s. gimmick. Criminals would go with the cheaper bullets, those being full-metal jackets rather than hollow-points (which are like less than half the price of hollow-points), especially given that FMJs penetrate stuff far better. From the tests that I have seen, I strongly doubt that those panels would stop FMJs, seeing how hollow-points came close to punching through and failed to do so clearly on account of flaring far out and flattening as they are supposed to even when they hit very soft stuff such as flesh. Sure, regular panels on old-school ICE cars are nowhere nearly as tough, but it is cheap and easy enough to remove and replace them. That makes them a much better choice. And then there is the part that the panels are steel and the chassis is aluminum. Who the hell is dumb enough to weld steel panels onto an aluminum support structure??? Aluminum and steel have very different thermal expansion coefficients, so that is just asking for trouble with parts bending or warping and welds failing at some point. I have to say Elon Musk's idiot index for other people looks very much like it is really just an attempt by him to excuse his own stupidity by trying to put down those around him.
A few years ago, I did volunteer work in the Crawford Museum’s shop. There was a Delorean DMC-12 in the collection. A light touch with Scotch Brite pad did a good job of cleaning up the stainless steel skin as needed. The DMC-12 panels were SS303, not that different from the Cybertruck “30X.” The difference was that the DMC-12 steel panels were a skin and not so structural as in the Cybertruck. The high sides on the Cybertruck seem to be a necessity owing to the unit body design more than aerodynamic benefit. The Ridgeline, Santa Cruze and Brat are all like that. The Maverick has not so high bed sides, but it is quite a bit smaller.
Seen this Cyber Truck makes me appreciate even more the old reliable Toyota Land Cruiser Series 40 Pickup Truck ( the Brazilian version is known as the Bandeirante ) . That thing is unbreakable. Some of them equipped with a Mercedes Benz Diesel engine. Now those are trucks. This thing is a hipster trip to self indulgence. A fool and his money have parted ways. . You can’t haul anything worth a lick in this thing, nor you can drive through rough patches. And btw, the Toyota body construction handles the same amount of debris without a scratch. And it won’t rust. And “ IT LOOKS LIKE A REAL TRUCK “.
How about the terrible visibility in the truck, how about the open cockpit design with the rear window removed, not so great 🤔 How about the difficulties with water, getting stuck in sand, the feeling of weight when on wet roads or how the 9,000 lbs is difficult to stop in the event of loss of control or how it will blow through guard rails 🤔🤨
Have you driven a regular truck recently? Pickups have horrible visibility, that's why they are among the slowest vehicles on the road. They have gotten so big in the past decade it has only made this fact worse. Unless you have something really large to tow or work in a trade where the bed is a necessity driving a pickup for a daily is ridiculously expensive. Don't even get me started how bad they are off road. If you don't believe me try driving one down a trail lined with trees! I wouldn't buy a cybertruck for the same reasons I wouldn't buy any other pickup.
I'm not a fan of Tesla by any means and actually used to work on the battery enclosures for this truck. But I think they did a great job. Everyone hates it now, but years later, I think people will respect it, especially in regards to the polarizing design. They took a huge risk and didn't play it safe
Totally agree. Once a long while do we see big companies taking big risk, breakthrough in products (eg. iPhone and cybertruck). It's big steps like these that eventually changes the market and enhance lives. People can complain all they want, but there is no denying cybertruck is packed with technology, other car makers never even dreamed about.
I actually disagree. I think it draws attention now, it is futuristic looking, but still has the image of a concept vehicle. Once the hype wears off, there are thousands more on the road and people don't snap their necks off gawking at it, other car makers become a bit more imaginative and innovative in their design, the looks will be more of a detriment than anything else. It's good looking from the front, but from some other angles it's really..... ugly, perhaps it will eventually end up more refined in future.
@@IronCan88 Technologies "other car makers never even dreamed about" because they're stupid (unnecessarily expensive with no purpose, unnecessarily difficult to maintain, etc.) and give it a zero percent chance of ever being allowed on the streets of countries with non-trivial safety regulations for cars. Most of what's different about the Cybertruck isn't something other manufacturers couldn't do; it's something they wouldn't do because it makes no sense other than wanting to be different.
Good thing 1/4 mile tracks don't have any turns. From the back, that thing reminds me of a dumpster! The Cybertruck cost way more than was promised, doesn't have the promised range, can't tow worth a isht. (90 miles from full charge at rated towing capacity, according to one prominent YT test) The EV Chevy Silverado has 440 mile range, and an ELEVEN FOOT BED!
I predicted months ago that this monstrosity will be saleproof. Once the fanboys and attention seekers are done with their orders, sales will be minimal at best. Of course, this is the country where 72 million people voted for Don the Con last election, so what do I know. Maybe all vehicles from America will look this idiotic in the future.
@15:15 Pickups are not meant for two lane roads??? You were doing good until then. @16:32 It's not just hobbled together??? What is it, a horse? The phrase is; " ... cobbled together" Cobbled not hobbled. Sigh. Millennials will be the death of us.
No ….it is not Millenials . It is Reaganomics … the MFs can’t read or write. Notice the “ scribe “ is a gray bearded dude. The Reaganomics part, I picked up on the “ City of Industry “ flick. When Skip goes to buy a gun from some homeboys . Go watch it. It is quotable. Starring Tim Hutton and Harvey Keitel.
In every cyberpunk review Ive seen there is a "hey there is a loose bolt" or " hey that panel gap is really wide" or " hey that screw needs to be tightened"
It looks like the kind of cobbled together goofy future vehicles from bad mad Max takeoffs when I was a kid. The kind you rented from the video store that was inside of a grocery store.
Exoskeleton was a promise Musk made in the original reveal years ago along with $500 mile range and $39,500 base price. All were vaporware possibly design to boost presales and stock prices.
Like most truck driver's I'll never tow anything with mine. 90% of my charging will take place at home, with my solar system, basically free. When using my electric company, at less than 8 cents per kWh, going from 20% to 80% will cost about $6.00 per fill up.
People are already getting used to seeing them around town and there's only 3 of them here. The novelty is wearing off and no one gives a shit anymore. If you're buying one of these to get attention, your window is rapidly closing.
I love how people admire and talk about mine. It's the center of attention no matter where I go. Driving down the street and on trips, it's always being video recorded. Smooth ride, comfortable. Recently took it on an 1800 mile road trip. Performance was excellent. Easily got 200 miles between having to stop. Yup, that 1954 Nash is the best car I've ever owned! 😀
With so many shows on mainstream news saying this truck is a flop and a big mistake by Tesla, it is nice to see a mainstream and trusted car review company giving this truck its proper praise and recognition. It has been so disappointing to see how so many American media corporations who you would expect to be honest and fair toward an American product be so negative and biased. Thank you for just telling us the facts - both positive and negative without any of the emotional and political baggage that Teslas are too often subject to.
This is a "truck" that fails to do many truck things. Towing or carrying heavy loads for instance...the range estimates go to less than 100 miles....facts not political conjecture.
I couldn't help but notice you didn't include the weight of this hideous gargantuan blubbermill in your specs at the beginning. They don't like you talking about that.
This is a HUGE issue! (no pun intended). Modern parking garages were made for 2 ton cars, one cybertruck weighs 6,834 lbs. that’s roughly 3.5 times the weight. I highly doubt parking garages built before 2010 ever thought people would be driving cars that weight more in a time when cars were being made out of plastic more and more to save on weight/emissions. Keep in mind that the average and popular model S weighs 5,000lbs, so that would instantly double the weight stress on garages. The cybertruck would just collapse it
@@Mr_Bones. my 2 door 2wd Tundra is 5200 lbs, lighter than any of the 4 door F150 or Sierra you see on the roads today. CT is not really heavier than ICE pickups nowadays.
Having EVERY function controlled by a center-mounted, giant screen seems like a big miss. Maybe, it's just me, but, when I drive, my number one job is watching the road, NOT looking down and over (taking my attention OFF of the road in front of me) at a stupid computer screen. I wouldn't accept this POS as a gift.
This video has 972 Dislikes as of the time of this comment. That’s almost 20%. A lot of people are not voting (153k total views) and if we apply 20% to the total views as a proportion ratio, that’s about 31,000 that think this car is trash. Reading the comments, a lot of them are way more negative than positive. I’m thinking this truck is going to hurt Tesla immensely
Everyone brings up planes as the reason steer by wire is fine, but airliners have redundant systems AND ground crews to inspect them regularly. Also, just as significantly, planes are not riding around in traffic, there's nothing to hit but the ground.
@@jnc1771 , are you going to so semiannual inspections of that system to make sure it's operating properly and has no issues with wiring, electronics, etc?
When you turn on the turn signal part of the screen shows the entire blind spot and much more. There is also a blind spot warning light on the door frame Also, when the bed cover is extended, it blocks the inside rear view mirror, so it automatically becomes a display and shows the rear camera image.
@@markl3893 exactly, the blind spots are so fucking huge, you need MULTIPLE systems (cameras and radars) to compensate. God forbid I can just turn my god dam head and look...
9:02 it isn't accurate to say that the Cybertruck fell "short of its estimate" on your 75mph range test. The estimate you're speaking of is an average of multiple driving cycles which include lower speed city driving. So they never gave you, or anyone, an estimate for 75mph driving alone.
Why does your test truck have the recalled wheel covers? They're supposed to be redesigning them to get rid of the 7-pointed corners because they dig into the sidewalls. All of the ones I've seen on the road have no wheel covers.
