First time in my life I see a concept car put into production and the final version still looks like the futuristic concept. This is the first vehicle to be mass produced that truly looks 21st century. Like a Halo Warthog.
@@philippeferreiradesousa4524Never happening, and even if it does, a short burst of compressed air will do nothing when the car will weigh almost 5000 lb.
As much as people make fun of the design, it’s seriously so unique and futuristic from anything else we’ve ever seen. Props to Elon and Tesla for being bold in their approach, hopefully it performs as well as it looks
I believe you could put this in a museum as art. Especially given the background of trucks and how static they've been for so long. If this sells well (not talking pre-orders), it will vastly change the landscape of truck design from this point, and it will be incredible to look back on in 20-50 years from now given how hard it was to even accomplish in it's time.
I'm shocked they actually did it. They really went above and beyond in its creation. Also check out Hagerty's review of the Cyber Truck, they took on a gokart track lol. EDIT: looks like I've kicked off WW3 in the comments. Take it easy it's just a car, enjoy your Sunday
I can recomment Hagerty's review. The Cybertruck just follows the rule: Design follows function in the most extreme way. They had to make the body minimalistic, because you cannot shape the stainless steel panels like modern panels, which are a specific alloy. Its amazing how much innovation and forward-thinking this specific car has. 48 Volt electric system to save copper wiring. Steer-by-wire like in an airplane, speed-adaptive steering. 4 wheel steering, new battery-technology, driving dynamics, etc..list goes on. New tech is always risky, but i guess, some of the concepts will set new standards in automotive history. Its a cool car which does maybe not look good (i personally like it), but impresses with its inner values...
you seriously have no clue. It's design over function. Especially since most customers wont even need a pick up truck. The future of mobility is not build 3 tons heavy pick ups that people drive on free ways. A function of a car is also be safe. This is a step back into the 1970s. Where the car is fine after an accident but the passengers are all dead.
I’m so glad finally an actual designer explained this designs. I’ve been seen too many people who drive old Chevrolets complain whine about Cybertruck’s design without having any knowledge about what this design means.
Almost surreal that they really put this thing into production. The Ford truck looks like from the 90's compared to the Cybertruck. The most important part about this design is that it's very simple while being futuristic and unique. Good designs today are usually somewhat traditional/simple, while futuristic ones are overstyled, but the combination of futuristic and simple is very rare nowadays.
@mattmasi303 True, that’s why to an extent I love this car. It looks like a delorean and if I am honest the delorean is a very beautiful car. And I love the 80’s overall as well.
What do you mean? This truck is instantly dated compared to the Lighting. It's based off of the cyberpunk aesthetic which was popular... uhh... 4 years ago when it was unveiled...
Design aside, I am looking forward to all the different color combos their owners will dip/wrap the trucks in. I really believe the colored versions will be more common, dealing with a blank canvas. Just my 2 cents..
The more I see it, especially now that there is so much video of it actually moving, the more I like it. It's so futuristic-looking. It's ugly but very interesting, which is something I can appreciate and I'm aware of how crazy that sounds. Pushing boundaries like this is what we expect of our fellow South African and his team, so hats off to Elon and team, he's a gift to humanity.
Will be interesting as Sketchmonkey said if the Cybertruck does well if it will encourage other manufacturers to be more adventurous. I was thinking this with the lack of a rear windscreen on the Polestar 4. What I like about Cybertruck is its Tesla finally not playing it conservative to Vanilla with its design. I'd love to see Cybertruck influence future models since the Tesla fanbase/customers seem open to whatever they produce.
I really hope it fails and not give manufacturers any idea. BMW getting shit for their brave designs so no way in hell Tesla should be praised for this monstrosity on wheels.
@@davesenatus5566 I never said anything about graceful. I said brave. As in they mix things up and still get shit for it. God forbid they keep making the looking cars they will get shit for that too.
I saw a news article with people not in the car loop and every single 400 comments where straight clowning it. It's going to be getting pics for all the wrong reasons once they are on the streets. And at only 60k I'm sure there will be alot of little tesla and apple watch personalities in them
It resembles the cockpit of an F22 on wheels. Fighter jet meets Delorean, that's why I want one! The tech packaged into this machine is worth the price.
A true "clean sheet" design exercise not only for the body forms but for the chassis engineering as well. Quantum leaps in design doesn't happen very often but I do see some parallels in architecture, Mies van der Rohe's Barcelona Pavilion and FL Wright's Falling Water House and Guggenheim Museum. Now that Tesla has come this far I would think they can keep the radical engineering thinking on their next project- the $25K EV. They will really have to develop low-cost, high volume production to be able to make it for a profit. Mega cast chassis and no body paint? It could be a really interesting future.
The specs and a lot of the tech in the Cybertruck is incredible! Great industry progression and a great way to challenge the average styling of trucks in my opinion. However, if other manufacturers start to follow this styling idea, I wouldn’t be too happy
What specs are incredible other than the 0-60, which is just about the least useful spec for a truck? It gets less range than the competitors electric trucks. The base model tows less than a Colorado, a midsized truck. The top of the line only equals a Rivian in towing, which was never intended to be a work truck. ICE Silverado and F150 trucks that are half the price beat it in towing and HD trucks totally dominate it.
i feel like bemblii deserved to get an in person invite for the event more that anyone i would have loved to see you there tesla needs to put respect on ur name
I would love to see him getting more recognition , I've been following his channels for a long time , dude is awesome , does a excellent job and is consistent .
Most of the price "increase" isn't a real increase, it's inflation. Ranges a bit disappointing initially but will increase with newer higher energy density batts.
@@Mrbfgraytrust me bro if u went to a car meet or just a car guy channel on here no one likes tesla. Tesla and apple watch is probably ur personality😂 always the guys that lookand sound like u can bitch slap and take their girl.
Hummer ev looks even better in black and with after market rims. Isn't even close. Only tesla and apple watch beta males disagree. Hummer has more range, higher payload towing, and better for offroading. Also 3 sec in 0-60 while weighing 9,600 lbs.
@@TroySavaryA huge drawback of trucks is fuel economy and operating costs. Here, you have no gas, oils changes, transmissions service, coolant service, etc.
I'm not fully onboard the EV bandwagon yet, However this truck is just amazing It's literally the definition of the future. All those old sci-fi movies where we were like "what's the future going to look like". This is literally it! I will definitely order one if it comes to my country Au.
Bring up an on-line inflation calculator: $40,000 base Cybertruck in 2018 would be $49,000 today. So almost 1/2 of the base price increase is inflation. Then consider that Tesla historically drops prices after production has ramped. A lot of R&D went into this truck, and I expect the real beneficiaries will be owners of the low cost car currently in development. Just as the real beneficiaries of the Model S R&D are the Model 3 / Model Y owners.
Props to the folks at Tesla. The 48V architecture and steering by wire are fantastic. My only concerns are the massive front and rear subframes. While it is a feat of engineering, it’s going to be hell on repairs (basically it will have to be totaled) and I’m curious what the insurance costs will be.
Same with any structural subframe! If it's been hit hard enough to damage those, you've been in a VERY bad wreck and it's totaled anyway. Airbags deployed, major crash damage.
12V is standard for the industry. = cheap spareparts. 48V is a expensive idea for the consumer that will have to open his wallet. Making up own standards is just dumb. Steer by wire is just an extra thing to break. It has no benefits to the driver. Changing mechanical solutions to electronic ones are usually notworking out well. Removing the physical contact between the steeringwheel and the tires is a terrible idea that is going to get people killed.
@@blob2092 CT didn't come close to doubling either, the high end trim, triple motor, was never going to be cheap, inflation accounts for most of the "increases". Average price for new PU is $66k today for an obsolete ICE rig with nothing special about them.
People always say “low poly” and totally forget about the beauty of crystals. It’s crystalline. How is it not beautiful? Proportions are great, materials are great. It’s iconic. An f150 has absolutely no beauty in it, not like the trucks of the 50s and 60s.
If the special equipment and material required to make Cybertruck is amortized over the 2 million pre-orders, then factor in the reduced labor costs with the new "bench assembly" method - it's estimated the cost to produce each of the first 2 million trucks is $25k. Sold for $45k it would wipe out the pick up market. Elon repeatedly states he does NOT want to eliminate others - so that sets prices. He is demonstrating what is needed in Time (10 years) and initial investments ($2 Billion) to make profitable EVs.
Base will enter production 2025 but I'm not sure they will make many. There is a big step down from Mid to Base, far more than the small step up from Mid to Beast. Phillip.
minimalist, even interior, not only saves money and makes this truck affordable for what you are getting... the steel, steering, voltage innovations alone make the price a deal for all this first off
@@roylcraftthe person who calls himself the worlds greatest engineer wouldn’t be able to set up a printer let alone design a car from scratch. He just hired engineers to make stuff that he could take credit for.
It is the most expensive electric truck other than the Hummer, which was meant to be an excessive halo vehicle. The base $60k model is out-towed by a Colorado.
you need a large engine for a pickup so they have had the same design for years because it made sense. With electric motors that has changed there is no longer a need for a long nose.
Except the nose is just as long. They just hid it under the rediculously long windshield, ruining the ability to see properly due to the enormous A pillars.
From an engineering and technological standpoint, this thing is absolutely incredible! Very impressive what they’ve been able to create and I applaud that. I also understand making it look so different so that it’s dramatic and completely different from anything we’ve seen before - in the sense of recognizability, it’s an incredible design! Visually, on a personal level, I find it incredibly ugly and think this would’ve been a great internal project to develop technology but not a production vehicle. It’s very much like brutalist architecture and I can’t stand that philosophy. Beautiful design and emotion is far more important to me in car design than engineering even despite how impressive this vehicle is. Those are my thoughts. Lol
I don't get what's so incredible from an engineering standpoint? Unibody design? Seeing the understructure in the production photos seems not very uncommon. The panel pressing operation? Not so special in comparison to some crazy stuff like some Peugeot/Citroën aluminium rear control arms. The drive units are pretty much standard, steer by wire, Infinity Q50, Toyota bZ4X got it too, Mercedes introduced it in the F200 in 1992, parametric steering was available in the 1993 S-Class too. Suspension is standard. The use of 3X stainless steel is also not very innovative, it's kitchen sink material, not bad, but not a marvel. As an automotive engineer, I see a bunch of interesting design choices, but nothing that is all too uncommon.
@@Brazzelkanal well then you have a higher than average understanding of what goes into these things if you’re an automotive engineer… most people are not. To someone who doesn’t know all that, it definitely looks impressive from a technological standpoint. You can understand why someone who doesn’t know what you do might believe, even if on looks alone, that this is at least some sort of step forward, right?
@@The1SSGrantbro how? Exterior wise it looks bland af no interesting cuts or lines. I could of designed it in 2nd grade. Interior wise it's a single iPad and steering wheel. It's as plan Jane as u can get. Elon was just able to make it work because tesla fans seems to think anything he makes is the future. Have u seen the audi actisphere? THAT IS THE FUTURE. Even the hummer ev is way better looking espicially in black or orange. Higher payload towing, more RANGE, better offroading with extract mode, and better interior. It does everything a truck is for better. While also weighing 9,600 lbs and going 0-60 in 3 Seconds. 😂 unless u get the beast mode cyber truck its not even close to as good.
@The1SSGrant Yes, I get the point. But listening to the marketing yadda yadda makes me feel a bit... fooled, because everything is praised being innovative, but there is hardly any real innovation in it. But I have to admit, producing these panels as flat as they are is not an easy feat. Especially hiding the spot weld deformation after adding the panel reinforcements to prevent buckling. If it is spot welding at all, it might be glued on. But this is done in Audis for at least 17 years as well, in their case to bond aluminium to steel. Mercedes invented a new way to weld an aluminium roof on a steel body with lasers on the past C-Class, that's crazy stuff, but nobody cared, because it's an old boring company. 😅 I am not negative about the fuzz around the Cybertruck, I just don't get it 🤔 But I know the marketing people in our company, they really like to tell "stories" as they call it 😂
@@G82Watts yo I didn’t say that it looks good 😂 I think it’s absolutely ugly as I mentioned in my original comment. My point was that nothing looks like it and it’s made out of stainless steel so it is new in that sense and there isn’t another production vehicle made out of stainless steel…. and a lot of people may associate that alone with being more advanced in most ways. I’m not saying they would be correct to think so just that it’s true many people believe that. Personally, I hate the thing lol. From what I listened to in the top gear interview, it sounds like they did make some progress in tooling and actually being able to bring a product like this to market and that’s what I was acknowledging. As a whole, I am not a fan of Tesla vehicles and definitely am not interested in buying the cybertruck.
You are totally missing the point. The looks of a vehicle are incredibly important. This truck is not just different but it's arguably Tesla's most perfect design. In 100 years this will be remembered as a major turning point and the signature vehicle for everything that comes after it. Franz is a true artist and the Cybertruck is a work of art. I'm blown away, despite the lack of the integrated tailgate ramp and rear squat. Presumably the rear wheel steering prevented that feature from coming to fruition which is a big disappointment for me. However it was a brave decision to roll with this and Elon deserves all the accolades for taking the chance. Less than five years despite covid. Unique.
@@maxmeier532Funny, but two edged. Back to The Future is already a classic. Ford's Mustang was pitched hard for the part, but co-writer Gale wanted the futuristic DeLorean ("Doc Brown doesn't drive a fucking Mustang!") It was already out of production, making it a movie joke, yet now it's an icon. Better luck to Tesla!
What is interesting is how much people clowned the Honda Ridgeline for a similar take on design so much that they ended up going to a traditional design and now Tesla seems to be running with the idea.
They have too much people getting roadsters for free (affiliate marketing). That’s why it makes no sense financially to built them. Sooner or later they must though
@@beautyisontheinside Nonsense. I makes little sense other than that they said they would. Gen 3 platform is and should be the focus in coming yrs, along with CT and semi.
Bembli: I wish manufacturers would stick to their roots. Also Bembli: I hope this Cybertruck pushes manufacturers to try something new and interesting for once.
I don't find this new and interesting. Stainless steel has been tried for a long time. Weird proportions as well. The interior is very familiar Tesla. It lacks the functionality of the Rivian truck. The variable steering has been done by Toyota/Lexus. It's just an oddly shaped truck IMO.
@@benjaminsmith2287 Exactly my point, when ever BMW tries to make something "new an interesting" he responds with "look at this old BMW that looks much better, why isn't BMW making them like they used to" But when Tesla makes something other than a computer mouse, he responds with "wow tesla is doing something new, why aren't other companies doing this?"
I feel it doesn’t look stylish, it looks like straight out of a war zone, a vehicle you would use in a war or in the apocalypse lol, but it’s not bad .
4 years (2019). Disappointed by range and lower payload, but glad it’s finally in production. At least they have a range extender but I wish it was sub-bed instead of taking up bed storage when camping etc.
So build a lightweight sleeping platform on top of the battery and use the area underneath the platform for storage. A bed tent provides a lot of headroom. Many people who camp, off-road or do over-landing, use folding tents on bed racks so their truck bed can be used for camping gear. It's a good way to use your bed space efficiently.
It's 4 years since its announcement, and they had to build a new factory for it which finished in 2022, plus we had a global pandemic on top of that. Also, let's not forget that they are still restricted from battery cells, and they had to prioritize the Model Y's production which is the best selling vehicle on the planet (including ICE). Every other company would have needed at least 5-7 years on top of what Tesla took, if they were even able to make a beast like the CT in the first place (which they can't).
i think people are mistaking shocking/different design for good design here. after these become more common to see on the road the shock value will wear off. its not "bad" design but its definitely not beautiful or stimulating to look at. this reminds me of "futuristic" product designs from past decades that just look out of proportion and unnecessarily abstract today. i think years from now this will be seen from a design stand point similar to how we see the plymouth prowler now.
I think this minimalist brutalism is definitely a work of art. Modern art isn't appreciated either but if you take into account that they were trying to achieve something original it is groundbreaking.
I was a landscape/ construction foreman for a long time, and we built huge, top notch projects, all over the state. For guys like us, 440 miles of range just wouldn't cut it! Especially when you consider were towing a gooseneck trailer with a front end loader or similar..... and we have lots of electric tools we're gonna want to run all day... So I'd really really like to see an option of buying stackable lithium batteries you can put in the bed and on trailer to extend the range out to 600 miles plus charging. That would probably make the difference as to whether or not we'd have purchased. Now I work in Healthcare, but I'm just saying. 440 will be a deal breaker for a lot of contractors who need to go to job sites that are an hour and a half away, which was the norm for pretty much every landscape, construction, especially maintenance vehicles, which maintenence are the most common, and you're driving to 5 job sites from orange county to long Beach to Newport, to back because a customer needed something. Need max range!
You're talking about a heavy-duty truck, not an F150 competitor, but an F250 and up, when you're talking about those kinds of loads. This ain't intended for all that.
The Cybertruck looks so uncomfortable. Everything about it says sharp edges and cold metal. I hope it doesn't influence other manufacturers at all, that would be terrible for the car industry.
If you ever want Tesla to get you a car to review, i suggest for your next video you review whats IN the car and what it can do as opposed to how it looks. The 48 Volt architecture is a game changer in the auto industry. Cybertruck requires 1/4 the wiring that any other car this big would need because of it. The Steer by Wire is a first for a mass produced car as well. There is NO physical connection from the steering wheel to the tires. at low speeds it can corner like a go kart, and on highways the tires turns together to change lanes smoothly. There is SO much new tech in this thing it boggles the mind.
Honestly, I like the cybertruck as a design, for some reason I like bricks and blocks so, a reason I like older trucks too. If Tesla just made the bed flat versus the steep ass angle, I would genuniely have no major problems with it. A truck bed should be easily accessible and utilitarian, you can't exactly strap down to your wheel wells or tie downs evenly with that steep grade. I could 100% get behind the angular and blocky design if it had the standard rectangular bed. A 6' bed is good enough for a truck. My 01 Ram has a 6'5, drop the gate and you can have 8'. Seeing as most 4 door trucks today have a 5'5/6'' bed due to cab sizes, I can be satisfied with 6'. My dad's new Tacoma has a 6' bed and it's pretty good. I know making the bed flat would counteract Bembli's idea of "getting away from the standard" but, I'm sure most people agree that if it was a flat space they'd have a better opinion on it as a TRUCK and not a vehicle.
The Cybertruck follows the Brutalist design philosophy. Brutalism is derived from Breton Brut, meaning raw concrete in French. The design philosophy embodies that origin through simple and in-your-face shapes and forms and unpainted yet smooth finishes. Brutalist designs aren't the prettiest in the world but they do stick out and really break their surroundings with their presence. The Cybertruck is doing just that with its design. I quite like it. It's a different spin on a truck and it looks capable as hell. I want one
440 is the rang with extension pack. I think. Cyber Truck written with a welder looks sick. Nice touch. The specs are from some other planet. Fly by wire steering, 17” ground clearance along the entire bottom. Loads of storage super tuff. Pretty amazing machine in my opinion.
One thing I love and would like to get one Cybertruck myself is if buy car base on its design nowadays is like buying mainly for the lamps designs because most car looks nearly the same within the typical proportion of its class and only now Cybertruck looks like not a typical template car that looks not much different to each other on road from a distance and you buy it for that design and also it's lamps designs! But can you make the back wall between backseat and truck passthrough so you can lay down and sleep in the car? But it is scary in it for that because if the software goes wrong what if the retracting truck cover go down and cut or damage your legs while you sleeping?
The construction process is so interesting and a possible game changer. I'm hoping for a future Van an entry level commuter car and a Mustang type car with this type of design
I wonder how the low beam vs high beam works on those headlights since they're so low and so thin. Also i can't wait to what kind of aftermarket parts come out for this thing
From what I understand the headlights are like lazer matrix which can pin point where to have lights and where not, so in theory high/low beam just means not light some area in the light.
I think Tesla knows that the Cybertruck is weird and not many people will call it “beautiful”, but its a perfect Halo car for the company, and in my opinion they did a great job
I am pretty sure there are many people who forgot they put a deposit for the truck and went "oh, when did i put that?" When they get notification on their phone. And i wonder how many still want it and how many has already bought another truck and how many were doesn't have the money now.
When they initially revealed Cybertruck, I thought it looked really dumb. But then it grew on me. Then I hated it again. I continue to vacillate. I'll have to see one in real life, which shouldn't be long. Lots of rich Tesla superfans in the area.
You are so right with the idea that tesla influences other manufacturers. I am highly sure that the ipad interior trend originated from tesla, and look how its become a theme for automotives
I like the look. Maybe just because it is so different. Trucks have looked the same for decades. My biggest concern is the lack of buttons for basic things like the glovebox. Touch screens with gloves suck. More of a mild irritant. The exterior seems great, I just hope the chassis doesn’t bend easy.
I don't know who you are of what you do, but you certainly don't sound like a car/truck guy ... SUVs and Trucks look the way they do for very good reasons and I really hope nobody else tries to break away from the "status quo" just for the sake of being different. I much prefer the Rivian execution of the electric truck/SUV, elegant, minimalistic, futuristic yet still easy on the eye.
Yes, it is not beautiful at all, but it is definitely an instant icon in automotive design. Hate it or love, but the Cybertruck will be instantly recognisable 50 years from now compared to the current generation of pick up trucks from the legacy OEMs.
Wrong Bembli. It is EXACTLY what you'd want to put in a museum as a piece of art. (You think the the mundane Lightning or Silverado EV belongs in a museum??!!)
Yes, the interior is the one thing I would change as well. Not a fan of Tesla interiors in general. They sacrifice usability/functionality at the alter of stylish 'minimalism'.. Needing to dig through menus then sub-menus for simple things like adjusting the A/C, or even the air vents is absurd.
I think the instrument cluster screen on the S and X are there just because of the legacy design. New vehicles will probably not have that screen because they want to be so minimal.
Imagine your towing let's say a trailer going camping your running out of batteries after about 80-100 miles because your towing something heavy then your running out of power because your battery is dying there's a truck traveling with you now he has to tow your trailer until you get to a charging station then you get there and there's a long line of ev's waiting to charge too while the truck your traveling with had to sit there and wait until your charged. You hook back your trailer and then this happens at least twice because your traveling around 300 miles. Then you finally get to your destination unhook your trailer and the truck traveling with you is playing off-road you want play too but you struggle to go up a simple hill while the truck your with is long gone up that hill then you finally make it up and now you see a muddy patch while the other truck has drove through it already and then you think you can drive through the muddy patch too and try to go through it but get stuck and dig in so deep and your soo heavy that no one can pull you out the other truck laughing at you and all you can do is cry and say " well at least I'm faster than you!!" while it's doing donuts around you
