My father and I purchased the vehicle. Bob told me on the phone this video would be posted this week. Been looking forward to seeing it! I can’t wait to receive the car once the wizard fixes the accumulator.
He should be careful of being the pot calling the kettle black, there are a bunch of things that can be very costly to repair on that DeLorean. Best to keep it parked up on blocks in a nicely heated garage.
I won’t apologize, the cybertruck is poorly built especially for something that cost 100k plus. I won’t trade him as the DeLorean going to hold value and maybe go up in value for low mileage it has plus is a collector piece. The cybertruck is a overhyped, overpriced piece of junk. No way jealous as use to luxury cars over the years and spend way to much at times on them. It the build quality is literally pretty bad for a 100k plus, even built quality worst then most German cars use to working on over the years. To me an absolute no unless it to resell and move it in to someone else. Yes the DeLorean stainless steel clearly better quality look at the difference when he show both at the beginning. It night and day pretty much. The DeLorean had some built quality issues but the cybertruck shockingly pretty bad especially considering price and that it is many years newer and Tesla messed up on the basics.
The abysmal quality of the Cybertruck is mind-blowing. A DeLorean was always a pretty crappy car even when new, but in comparison to the Cybertruck, it looks like a Bugatti. The Cybertruck looks like a half decent attempt at a kit-car from the early 2000's.
The DeLorean looks like the designers worked the clay for weeks. The Tesla looks like the clay arrived, a manager stuck a couple of mirrors on it and went home early.
Hoovie is smoking a lot of copium for the ummm $1600/month? This is just sad. The baller content move might be to say "I bought the hype, but the Cybertruck might actually suck, unless it was the promised $50k." Do this ahead of the curve Hoovie! Get the Silverado ffs! Oh wait, I just finished the video. Haha, you just covered all of this.
It isn't difficult to understand. Elon made the truck he drew in kindergarten. And decided to use a material that is too stiff to work even with such an angular design. They all show evidence of metal memory in the panels and desperate attempts at over-rolling or over-pinching them in a desperate attempt to get them to hold their shape. Works great on rockets because they are round, just like the spools the sheet metal comes off. Terrible for making cars.
Yeah, if there's one thing we've always known about DeLorean's it's their overall quality, interior and engine and so on. ;) And of course guess what happened with the earliest VIN DeLorean's..... bad manufacturing issues. It's nothing new for early VIN across many brands.
Range anxiety "supposedly" can shrink the manhood right into the frunk. Hope your vids pay for it bro, that muskrat built the cheapest thing he could... because of his base buying his stories. His critics are silenced, that's why I'm not buying...I have ev and it's just a toy, that's no truck. Be well
I swear I wish we never lost my son’s pinewood derby car he made when he was 6, if we still had it I’d be suing the snake oils salesman designed the cyberturd.
Don’t worry Tyler, when your cyberturd runs out of juice, just call your buddy with a Duramax and he’ll tow you the next 500 miles without needing to stop
Until batteries catch up, EVs are, right now, best suited for small trucks, etc. Locomotives run on Diesel or Electricity. It's not a motor issue, it's batteries. Space Karen has used up all of the good ideas from the ACTUAL Founders of Tesla Motors and that's why we're treated to dancers in a Tesla Robot costume, Hyperloop fraud, SoaceX falling behind (and backwards), self-driving issues even in ideal conditions and most of all; "Fast Everything". Cybertruck and Semis are both VERY heavy and zero to sixty sub 5 seconds is very unwise for both. Tesla Motors in the hands of Tarpenning and Eberhard would have given Americans an even more affordable Tesla by now. Musk has focused on toys for the upper income group and yet, he's ripping them off with Cybertruck.
It's got less than 3000 miles. That thing might have never even seen rain. If it has, only a few times max since it's been in a garage for 40 years. If you keep a piece of any steel in a dry controlled environment for decades you will see it won't rust stainless or not.
@@antton9623 It all has to do with the quality of the stainless steel. It has nothing to do with rain but far more with humidity. Most Cybertrucks in the more humid states have rust spots at delivery. This is a dead give away that it is low quality stainless.
@@salland12 any stainless will rust if mistreated. I used to have fun when i worked in China showing people how to turn their stainless rusty and cleaning the rust off. Contamination in the stainless is the main cause of rust forming oh and don't let your belt scratch it either.
It's pretty much just a skeleton with stainless panels glued on. Look for the pictures of "cybertruck wrecked in ditch" most of the side peeled off from crashing into a drainage ditch and you can see it's just glued on skin.
I haven't seen one in the metal here in Australia but from what I have seen on various youtubes I have rejected cooking hoods that were better finished.
@@ianmontgomery7534 the body panels fit pretty well but the edges are too hard and sharp and it's because stainless is hard to work with. Its very tough and springy.
@@wsbill14224 yeah I know. I helped with the prototypes of stainless steel cooker hoods in China -they are pressed and then welded. I had to get some guys from another factory we owned to come and teach the other guys how to weld stainless so the weld could not be obviously seen. they did a fantastic job of it. When i came back to Australia I saw one of the production models in a local shop and was looking intently at the welding job - it was superb and the salesman didn't believe me that it had been welded - when i put the machine in to demonstration mode he started to believe me as he hadn't beeen told it had one.
Well… Your friend addressed the most important aspect … if you’re in towing mode… the computer should be able to calculate CORRECTLY what the range is overall 🤪
Bob's comment that the Cybertruck looks like a bunch of cardboard cut out and taped together is so accurate. The uneven gaps and edges are just horrendous and likely won't stand the test of time of being bumped into, rusting etc., over the next few years.
@@ABa-os6wmyou’re missing the point. Both vehicles are stainless but only one of them has decent build quality. Just because it’s stainless steel doesn’t mean it will hold up in other ways
@@bosengineerdeloreans rust in the same way. It’s not bad stainless steel because of some rust spots. That’s just how it works. I used to own a delorean and had this from time to time. Just scrub it off with some steel wool or gasoline on a rag
I know someone that has a DeLorean sitting in their garage with only 120 miles on it. He purchased it from Unclaimed freight back in the 80's . He put 110 miles on it to drive it home and it's been stored ever since.
The PT Cruiser was NOT a punchline...they sold a ton of them. We bought one of the very first ones (2001), and it was remarkably reliable, with commendable coachwork quality. Never had an issue with the engine, transmission, A/C etc. It had nearly 200K when we gave it to a friend. We had bought the limited edition which was loaded. The paint was excellent and the leather seats never cracked or flattened out. Never any issues with the accessories. The PT was unfairly excoriated. It was a solid car.
Maybe they were better with higher trims early on when boomer enthusiasts were ordering them but they quickly turned into the cheap budget sh*tbox like a dodge neon where people drove it off the lot only because it was the cheapest thing there. That is how they sold a ton of them. I've never even seen one with leather, just the $13k junkers.
The PT cruiser was the equivalent of the 2008 housing crisis. Its value was so inflated and when it did crash in value people were paying more on that car than it was worth.
The channel feels like it's dying since Hoovie started the other channel for his new girlfriend. There are daily videos over there, and his channel languishes.
@@ryansmithcat the end of the day, the person who chooses to drive a Model 3 will always be a Tony Stark wannabe. Tesla fans ≠ car fans. They don’t belong here
I am so sorry hoovie! It is truly unfortunate you got a cyber truck. I hope the people close to you in real life can start taking you seriously again. Time heals all wounds , so this might be a decade or so of forgiveness time.
You need to add tow hitches to all your vehicles and review them as haulers. This is, after all, the world's favorite RU-vid channel dedicated entirely to the science and art of towing.
exactly....seems that every RU-vidr that wants CT-related attention finds the one thing that it doesn't do as well as a ginormous diesel pickup and fixates on that. This or course, brings out all the jealous folks who gleefully add their "expert" opinions to the mix.
you could also LS swap it and embarrass the cybercuck owners when you manage to outdo their top speed, which is a surprisingly low 130 mph for the cyberbeast and a hilarious and embarrassing 112 mph for the 2WD and AWD models. My 60 year old car can almost do that with a 2 speed and a lead foot!
@@drunkenhobo8020 I think he meant you can fix broken parts yourself as you are able to buy them and many parts are standard things like lightbulbs. And there are no ECU's in the DeLorean, so there's no expensive diagnostic software needed. Tesla doesn't sell parts to normal customers, and for anything alse than changing the wheels, you need their service center. Edit.: i almost forgott: you need to maintain en EV as well: they have colling systems, they have AC, they have wearable parts: If you don't maintain them, they are junk in very short time too. Like ICE cars.
Tesla is also infamous for lying about range. From what I have read the Ford actually does range calculations based on current usage. I drive an e transit for work and it's a pretty big range estimate difference based on just the weather.
@@soapflakes the drag formula is a function of speed to the square times the density of the medium (air) and drag coefficient (0,34 for the cybertruck). The only unknown is the drag of the trailer, but that could be easily be estimated based on expected performance vs measured consumption over the first few miles. The onboard computer should have an easy time reassessing the range according to the current speed.
I know! When it was announced I thought it was crazy but its kind of grown on me and after seeing one in person I think I'd take a cardboard cutout stainless any day, just like Hoovie says "its dumb" "still I love the thing, I think it looks really cool" sums it up for sure!
There has been no way it’s been describe that makes me hate it. “Looks like it’s from a low polygonal video game” that’s awesome! “Looks like a kid made it with cardboard” that’s also awesome!!
Well, it's styling is supposed to be zeerust. Which, though funny, isn't an intentional pun on rust here. Zeerust is just a general category of retro futuristic stuff. Like the truck wouldn't really look out of place on a moon base in an old campy sci-fi movie. And that's *definitely* 100% intentional.
It says a lot that most of the focus when driving an EV is constantly on the range. I fill up and forget for a week or so, don’t even think about using the heater or AC or hills or towing. And in my 20yo car - they all work perfectly, and it doesn’t chops body parts off 🤣
Between the two vehicles here, if I were gonna waste $90k and totally regret it later, it would be on the DeLorean. Now, if the DeLorean were priced around $25-30k I could see someone who is actually interested in the car and its history buying it, but for $90k it's just some rich guy's circle jerk machine. Either way, Bob is totally right, his DeLorean is made better than the Cybertruck.
I'd honesty choose the Delorean over a Cybertruck. When the prototype of the Cybertruck first appeared on that stage with Elon Musk, it looked so hideous I thought it was a joke.
People seem to forget the DeLorean was a joke for the first five years after its release. It wasn't until after people started re-building and upgrading them to what the car should have been in the first place that they became popular.
Just adding… The DeLorean was the first ever car built in Ireland by people that never before did that. Highly stressed period..(civil war still hot) And developed in about 18 months…the investors wanted to see something back so production started. Like y mentioned if given time i would have been a successful car.💪
Common for a highly sought after vehicle to have a clause where you can't resell immediately. Tesla most definitely has that as a clause. Also, the CT depreciated at least 10k as soon as he drove it. So, his 90k truck won't even get 80k, well... maybe. Elon fanboys are nuts.
Had it a month and the body panels are rusting, the stupid wheel covers and accelerator pedal get recalled (both for serious safety issues) the dash material is bubbling and coming loose...this thing is a JOKE. And the suckers who bought it are the punchline.
The guys on another channel test electric "trucks" pulling the same 8000lbs camper trailer. On relatively flat surface with calm winds, the Cybertruck actually had a 78 mile range. the Ford Lightning had less than 60 mile range... The Cybertruck was better, but in reality, both extremely worthless as tow vehicles.
I didn’t watch that specific review but TFL sometimes tests the acceleration while towing as well and that can really tank percentages quickly. The same way that sprinting 100 m 4 times in a row takes more energy than running 400 m in one shot. I think in practice with someone attempting to conserve range you would get a bit more range out of it. But realistically, neither of them are great for towing anywhere further than your closest KOA down the street.
I saw a CyberTruck in the wild for the first time last Friday. I also saw a Kei van in the wild for the first time the same day. I was much more excited for the van 🤣
@@PSUQDPICHQIEIWC Yeah, both of them. One is a big EV truck loaded with features and technology and have a lot of room inside, while the other is very compact, surprisingly roomy and practical, more attainable and, while not electric, get good fuel mileage.
Manufacturers may be neglecting the rental car market, where ICE units can be returned on E, and turned around and be ready to make profit in 5 minutes. Many times it is hours until an EV can be 'flipped'.
They are completely different types of steel though (according to tesla). Mostly that the cyber truck uses a significantly stronger form of stainless steel than the DeLorean. Hence why the panels on the cybertruck don’t have any curves, because the steel is so strong that it’s hard to press curves into them. But if you ask me, I think Elon was just trying to simplify manufacturing by making the body of the cybertruck into simple to stamp shapes. Supposedly the SpaceX rockets and the Cybertruck will use the same steel panels. Thus it makes sense to use the same stamping process/ facility. You can mass produce steel panels for the cybertruck and use the same panels for the rockets. Using the mass production of the cybertruck to offset the cost of the low production spaceX rockets. If he had made the cybertruck out of the same steel as the DeLorean then he would need a facility for the cybertruck panels and another for the Starship panels thus making things redundant and expensive.
@EverettJohnson-js2zw…crazy that the cybertruck panels are almost 1/8” thick solid stainless steel and the DMC is a paper thin skin bonded to a corrugated honeycomb resin panel. CRAZY.
Just be glad you don't have the autopilot update yet. I mean, given your experience with the Cybertruck and QC so far, would you trust your life to the software? What if Skynet decides that you are the enemy?
Elon’s ‘most advanced’ vehicle on the planet ~ saved by tech that dates back to the Bronze Age. All because of soap used on the cheapo clip-on accelerator pedal cover.
@@TheAnnoyingBoss It gets even worse. The stainless steel panels are also glued on. The next recall will see pop-rivets all over the outside of the car once some of them start flying off and decapitating people.
@@Duskwind_and even worse is all the major manufacturers today bond the panels on with high strength urethane adhesive. Worse than that is you making ignorant comments trying to be clever.
I like when Elon said that Tesla cars would be an appreciating asset. And then he later turned around hacked the prices of the new ones, killing everyone's values in a ripple effect.
Honestly I'd take the fridge... Saying that as a huge fan of Back to the Future, which is the sole reason anyone on earth gives a damn about any Delorean.
Towing my camper with my hybrid F150 I don't go faster than 65, no matter what the speed limit. Bob is right: aero trumps weight and the faster you go, the worse the mileage, whether it's mile/KWh or mile/gallon. Also is going slower is safer.
If a spoiler can add thousands of pounds of downforce, think of what a brick tethered to the back of your car could do. Some smart guy should be able to prove our theory with math ... @Engineering Explained?
@@DozIT he’s already done nice video on the EV towing problem. It basically boils down the low energy density of batteries, and aero drag. Sure the Tesla did better than the Lightning, but only because it has a bigger battery.
@@wallacegrommet9343 Interestingly enough I've done it with my truck and camper combo before. Using the adaptive cruise and the closest follow distance, it jumps us from ~9.5mpg at 65 mph to 11.5-12 mpg. But the buffeting of the camper in the truck's wake creates instability. So while it saves maybe a little money in gas, it's not worth it due to the risk.
I saw one exception. I saw where if you bought the old Mitsubishi (forget model, it was tiny) you got a credit from the feds, a credit from CA and a credit from some counties in CA. So it ended up being a lease for $99 a month with no money down. The range was 30 miles but if you had a short commute and charged at home it could be dirt cheap commuting. But that's a very special circumstance.
Got a question that no one seems to have asked yet. How much does it cost to refuel an electric truck add a station compared to a gas station? Is a supercharging station more expensive? You guys got to cover these simple questions if you're trying to convert us two electric. At present I have no desire to own an electric vehicle. Hybrid maybe, but electric no.
Love the Delorean. Was a bit nervous watching you drive off with a majority of the Delorean’s weight behind the rear axles on the trailer. Guess it’s a good thing the Cybertruck is so heavy🤣
@@carycoller3140 fair enough. My bad. Here we go... "Holy shit, right??! They're BOTH steel! Why didn't somebody else do this already?! So cool to see this done for the first time! 5 Stars!!"
