The face of Tesla on RU-vid! It is a pleasure to have this group of influencers together at Munro❤ It's a first seeing more than a talking head for some of your stars...😊 Thanks, Munro, and we miss Cory❤
Wonderful feedback from active drivers. This helps Tesla get a sense what will need attention going foward. It sounds like a great truck for many applications. The Rivian also is great. The Ford is also great. Each have pros and cons, but the take away is how they are functional and work. Now Chevy is in the game...that brings more options for consumers. Tesla will take the feedback and adjust. The other makers might not adjust as fast...thats where we will begin to see the strength of Tesla shine through. Time has shown that Tesla does listen...will the others follow suit...we will see.
EV/E-WASTE VEHICLES ARE FOR LUDDITES WHO THINK OLDER INFERIOR TECHNLOGY IS SUPERIOR TO COMBUSTION WHICH CAME LATER LOL EV=1830S ICE=1860S ITS OBSOLETED JUNK IT WAS OBSOLETED BY ICE OVER 100 YEARS AGO AND ITS STILL OBSOLETED GET WITH THE TIME AUTISTIC MUTANTS.
dirtyTesla in Michigan has done a lot of r&d as a youtuber, including window repair which was done fast and super affordable with labor and install included
That statement that being the first to market isn't always a good thing is true. Before WWII the US Navy wanted a new fighter airplane. From all the submissions they chose the Brewster Buffalo. Rival Grumman offered a variant of their biplane fighter then in service. After seeing the Buffalo, they redesigned their fighter into the F4F Wildcat which included folding wings which the Buffalo didn't have. The Buffalo was hampered by the Navy wanting to add more items but not upgrade the engine of the Buffalo. We don't hear much about the Buffalo nowadays except that it was a bad plane. Tell that to the Finnish Air Force who had great success with it. The Wildcat started mass production just as the war was starting, so it was in place for the beginning of the war when it was needed. The Buffalo lasted in time measured in weeks, not years. The first to market hasn't had all the bugs worked out yet. The Cybertruck, while introduced first, actually benefited from the Rivian R1T and the Ford F-150 Lightning coming out first so it could add what was the best of those to its "tool box".
You first talk about "the market" and then about a WWII fighter plane that did not make the cut - why does not matter anymore. Don't you think those are completely different pairs of sneakers?
@@Wi2Low The Cybertruck wasn't introduced being able to charge other things. Teslas couldn't at that time. Ford introduced their F-150 Lightning with that capability so Tesla, wisely, copied that function. Rivian was simply the first to market and is overbuilt for what it offers. The Cybertruck is much leaner in that regard.
@@AlanRogers250 I did not know that we had such a product or any comparable to that one before. You may compare the process of disruption with others before like VHS-DVD or horse carriages to cars or landline phones to cell phone and cell phones to smart phones. Rarely before did we have a single priduct - i do not even talk about cars, any public available product - on the whole world that changed so many parts, processes and materials at once and was successful at the same time. The first walkman comes near. And the iPhone. The IBM PC. The fridge. Schweppes. Watts. All of those started a whole industrial or economical revolution and technical category on their own. Maybe CT does the same? The Tucker was similar but not successful. The Tatra from Ledvinka was similar but Porsche stole it for his beetle. Maybe some chinese manufacturer steals the idea and concept, makes it a bit more rounded and sells it outside the US?
Thank you, Sandy - for this AND ALL YOU DO for the planet and the humans on it. If Elon is NUMBER ONE (he is) - you are a very close second place ! ! ! This from a 78 year old "fanboy".
I saw a RU-vid with a dad and teenage son evaluating the Cybertruck, the dad was looking for things that were wrong, but the son was already thinking of being on his cellphone and iPad traveling. The son got it immediately. Jeannine
@@wolfgangpreier9160 Less expensive than a Dual Motor Cybertruck. A real & true to life 440 miles of range. That calculates to 2.1 miles/kwh. Not bad with 24” wheels. It is very heavy, but for the price, huge battery, super fast DC charging, it’s actually a bargain.
@@Eric-xp1kl Silverado EV 3870kg curb weight - which means i need a truck license, max.speed is 80, no driving on weekends or holidays, max. 9 hours with tachograf and OBU - that is the On Board Unit for the mandatory toll for every Autobahn in Europe. The AWD CT weighs 2995 kg, with 5 people (mandatory weight for the calcluation) it has less than 3.5 tons which is the limit for passenger cars at the moment. Next year this limit will be raied to 4250kg, which is still too low for the GMC truck. The CT 2WD Curb weight will - presumably - be around 2800kg. Perfect!- Silverado EV without add ons costs 79.800,-- US$. Looking at the other Silverados it needs about 6000,-- necessary add ons. Lets say it costs 85.000,-- Cybertruck 4WD costs 80.000,-- And the 2WD (which i hope to get some day) should cost less than 70K. Both are not really available anyway - your guess is as good as mine what the vehicles will really cost and when they will be available. Your comment that the Silverado is cheaper is --- not correct.
@@Eric-xp1kl Chevy loses tons of money on every sale. Also how do you know it's true milage? Have you tested it yourself or are you just trusting Chevy's numbers (and the people who are paid by them)?
My tiny little startup is the proud sponsor of the Gruber power hour. I visited you this last Halloween, but you all We're busy I'll send you a pic. The Highlander. Yes, kindness is always free. When your staff was very nice to me. They let me stay for 20 minutes.😊😊😊
Thanks Munro and Associates one again. If there was one thing that I could ask Sandy it would be what would be a summary of changes required to get the Cybertruck produced in RHD? Obviously steerning is easy, but re-jigging space under the hood for RHD mega-wiper and who knows the flow-on effects from that
I have a cybertruck on order. I wanted the 500+ mile range truck, but unfortunately its not being offered now. I am very hesitant to buy a lower range cybertruck for the prices they are currently at. If I do follow through with my order, it would be for the dual motor version, 340 mile range.
@Munro Live - thoughts on camp mode and camping inside the Cybertruck? We are cancelling our Cybertruck order because we don't see any way to be able to camp inside it like we can in our Model Y. We can pull into the parking lot of a ski resort in the middle of February with 20 below freezing, after a day of skiing, we just turn on camp mode and we're toasty warm the entire night. The only extra we had to buy was an inflatable air mattress, we bring our pillows and duvet from home. The Cybertruck bed simply isn't long enough for anyone 6 feet tall, it does not seal to the elements, the mid-gate does not open for pass-through and no HVAC in the truck bed. None of the prototype aftermarket designs have cold weather or snow in mind. This all seems to be overpriced summer camping gear. We live in Canada where it's rather cold 6 months of the year and as such cannot justify a vehicle that is going to be $108,000 CND base price with no FSD and before taxes. Once you add on FSD and taxes you're approaching $140,000 CND. We can buy almost two Model Y's for that price. As cool and as innovative as it is, it's way too much money, the range just isn't there and the utility is just "ok". Average people are still only buying vehicles under $30,000 CND, this makes the market for the Cybertruck extremely limited. It's like they're choosing to build this vehicle because they can't ramp up battery production yet on the 4680 so they can't mass-produce the $25K vehicle now even if they wanted to.
@@4literv6 If they said she was the Queen of Fashion Models, looks might be germane to the conversation. Yes a lot of Eye Candy/Beauty Queens out there but sadly their intellectual content is often lacking. Best!
How strong is the stainless steel? Have you done a tensile test? Does it get stronger at cryogenic temperatures? AR500 bulletproof steel does over 1600 MPa with 10% elongation. I bet this will do the same but with 25% elongation so way more toughness.
It is martensitic 2mm stainless steel. cryogenic? No, it will become brittle. It is not the same as Space-X uses. It is from the same manufacturer but another mixture especially to be cold rolled for thin sheets for the CT. It is NOT tested on official number. And besides Tesla nobody knows the real numbers. It is NOT stainless actually. Stainless would be austenitic. This one is FROM stainless steel cold rolled into much harder martensitic steel. Which is magnetic (austenitic is not) and not stainless anymore. Its hard, its tough, it is fairly resistant against chemicals but it is NOT stainless.
@@wolfgangpreier9160 It's still a 3xx alloy, just because it's cold rolled doesn't mean it's less corrosion resistant. It has an higher PREN value than marine grade 316L
I wonder how the Cybertruck would do at towing a midsize Airstream trailer, a 16 or 19 ft. Those trailers are not that heavy and how would the classic stainless steel Airstream trailer look being towed by a Cyber truck. I'm thinking there could be a Cybertruck option where you fill the bed up with batteries and double the amount of batteries on the truck and cover up the bed with a large solar panel and add as many solar panels as you can fit on top of the trailer. You could have the standard amount of batteries running the truck and the second set of batteries being charged by solar energy and then switch back and forth you could also run the trailers air conditioning, microwave, whatever you use electricity directly from the truck batteries one set of batteries always charging by solar. It might be a good experiment to compare how much it costs to travel and camp compared to a diesel truck and diesel generator. If you're using the batteries instead of a generator you wouldn't have to put up with the noise or exhaust fumes from the generator. If you're in a campground you could plug in to charge all the battery in the truck. Maybe add a second receptacle to the front of the truck so that when you go into a tesla charging station you don't have to disconnect the trailer you can charge it from the front.
Mag gear steering nalang kayo..para sakin sapat na ang 48v na baterya...12v lang ginagamit mola sa baterya pinapalakas lang ng booossttt converter..sapat na ang pang charge Jan, sobra sobra na ang boltahe..Amper lang pinapalaki...baka maging unlimited payan
@@ronaldlenz5745 quite serious. Several seem to be Tesla centric reviewers so maybe that’s why. My subscriptions and YT suggested videos are more objective. Up until recently Munro was the most Tesla centric channel I subscribed to but I ended that subscription after the video with A 7 minute ad
Rear Wheel Steering?????? In my most Humble Opinion I think it's just Another Added Expense down the Road that No One Will Honor to be Fixed when it Breaks!!! And it will BREAK!!
Everything breaks. But the implementation of the steering, front and rear is simplicity in itself. You may lock the rear steering if you do not want to repair it.
Cypertruck is a toy for rich people......... its not great at anything. Worst range of all EV trucks out there. No spare wheel. Towing is horrible you dont get even 150 miles. I canceled my order and will get a Chevy Silverado. 450 miles range! includes a spare tire! and you can even take out the back wall and get over 8 feet of bed. great for camping heated tent. Amazing work truck even better than the ford lighting. Bullet proof dont need it dont live in iraq. 0 to 60 who cares its a truck not a sports car. rear wheel steering nice to have but not essentiale. charges up way quicker than the cypertruck even though the battery is double as big. And the Silverado costs less!!! Is a no brainer. 48V who cares? no difference for the customer except 48v is more expensive than 12v. I dont care how they make the car. It just needs to work and deliver.
Hertz gambled and lost when it placed its big EV bet on Tesla a few years ago. It was a chance for the rental car company to shake up the industry, instead the company bought 30,000 Teslas, got scared away by depreciation and expensive repairs and now wants to get rid of them. While all those used Teslas looked to be great used car deals, it turns out high mileage EVs that were formerly rentals are horrible to own as New York Magazine reported. Hertz had ambitions to make 20 percent of its rental fleet EVs, and it was going to start with a massive Tesla deal that saw the company purchase over 30,000. Expensive maintenance that the company didn’t account for spooked the company enough to start to sell off its fleet. This made for incredible used EV buys, especially when you factor in the used EV tax credit of $4,000. People scrambled to Hertz dealers buying them up. One salesman at a Hertz dealer in Smithtown, New York told New York Magazine that they were selling as many as 30 Teslas a week at one point. A slowdown came when buyers finally started to realize just what they got themselves into.
If Elon needs Cybertruck FSD he needs to release the regular 80k model for the rest of us and not this Foundation for crazy fanboys being stupid to the truck.
These videos are getting to be monotonic, paid Tesla PR. The truth is that Tesla is faltering in its competition with Chinese manufacturers and the models offered by Tesla are limited. FSD will hit roadblocks with state and federal legislation.
If you think you can do better...show us. It's a difficult subject and even more complex job then you can handle....but you seem to have all the answers. Kudos to you.
@@williamgrunzweig571 - It is hard to combat the Paid Putin Posse of EV hate! Sort of funny that the video was specifically on the Cybertruck, yet haters tune in anyway.
Ev market is collapsing,admit it. Vw and Benz admit the stuff ain't selling. Tesla is collapsing from within...the stuff is sitting on parking lots across the country
The cyber junk is not a usable practice work truck,admit it it's a dumb,joke,with low quality build. Pedestrians beware...ya know why it will never be in europe.
@@WANDERER0070 No, it doesn't rust. Just someone had rust dust sprayed on one Cybertruck and suddly all the EV haters created a new fake narrative. It was easily wiped off.
@@WANDERER0070 Its not the same, but similar, it can rust and stain but very slowly. The rust you see is not FROM the cybertruck but from other vehicles, trains, steel manufacturing etc.

Lack of pass through ventilation to the vault is a bummer! The biggest bummer is lack of towing range. It will not replace my F150. The Cybertruck is an armored grocery getter, my F150 hauls my loads. I love Tesla. I am a heavy investor in the company. BUT...
A lot of folks who use their trucks for actual work and towing won't buy this, but that's like 10% of truck owners. Most pickups these days are just commuter vehicles.
How about the rear casting? Ok, Cody us Cody... But should the trailer hitch be mounted to the aluminium casted frame? 😬 The trailer hitch ripps off 😮 ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-PK_EJ3DyiiA.htmlsi=rDuza_PcF1mFrikc
The biggest need is 460+ miles range. Chevy Silverado towing and range tests are really hurting tesla branding. On your tear down of battery shows what could be a second layer that could be added now. If it can be done it must be done now. I have held off placing my order, but if this takes to long to happen then Chevy wins.
" Chevy Silverado towing and range tests are really hurting tesla branding" Only if they sell half a million cars. Which they will not. And they will not sell a single one outside the US.
