The fact that you have to move things around on the touchscreen while driving is kinda terrifying. Like your ad spot is literally saying people should pay attention to the road when driving which you apparently can't do in this thing.
Normally, I'm not opposed to touch screens in cars (I prefer buttons, but screens are fine). It's interesting to see someone like Rivian that just made their UI a lot simpler with huge tap targets on buttons and bold (frankly kinda ugly, but bold) text so you don't have to take your eyes off the road. Then you've got Tesla putting mirrors on the screen.
@@chaosfenix I don’t because they happen automatically. I keep the temp set to 70 degrees and the auto wipers work fine. Though if I did want to adjust them I can just click the button on the stalk once for one wipe or click the stalk and use the scroll wheel to adjust the speed
The steering wheel does have a motor to provide feedback and centering. At some point Tesla may provide a slider to make this adjustable. People don't want trucks that drive like a truck. Automakers have been improving truck ride and suspension for a long long time.
@@danharold3087 not just the steering but all the noise cancelling and lack of feeling the road. Making a car too comfortable and isolated is NOT good for alert driving and staying connected to your surroundings… especially a hulking piece of shit like this that can take off quickly and has terrible visibility.
According to a recent Louis Rossman video, the Cybertruck advertises that it can be used as a stationary power source as you mentioned, but the terms of use actually state that it voids the warranty if you do. 🤣😂
Not being able to hear traffic is terrifying. Not having clear and instant feedback on your tire positioning is terrifying. Not being able to look behind you is terrifying (if I also can't hear that truck behind me). Not having a crumple zone and the thing being build out of solid stainless steel is terrifying. Having purely electronic locks in an electric car is terrifying, considering how they burn (if you're unconscious after a crash and the car starts burning or you need medical attention, then people on the outside also can't do anything but watch (if the computer got damaged)). Not having tempered glass in the doors is terrifying (again, people can't get you out, and neither can you, if the doors lock shut). This entire thing is terrifying. How is it even legal on a street (well it isn't in europe... so...)? Why would you pay 100k for a death trap?
@@mr.f.i.p4780 and where is the manual release on the outside of the truck? And didn't they advertise the glass as thermo nuclear safe (what a dumb way to classify glass... since it's complete nonsense) and hard to break with him wanting to demo that it is hard to break? That was an advertised feature.
Sure, it's a death trap in many ways, but to be fair, it is also highly dangerous to anybody near it. I saw someone peeling a carrot with the door edges. And those body edges...
@@voidedname Show me the Manual release on the outside of any vehicle. If your in a crash all vehicles gas or ev will remained lock. Absolutely no difference
They don't need one. The glass in them is designed to completely break away as a safety feature. So a) you can use the interior release from the outside, and b) you can drag someone through the side window as it's also designed to break into many mostly harmless pieces. Neither is true for the cybertruck (as advertised) (never broke one of theirs, and I don't think an owner would appreciate it if I did) The channel owner keeps deleting this response for some reason. As I've already answered this a month ago.
I don’t trust any influencers on the Internet anymore, basically. And the bigger your following and ‘influence’, the less I trust you. The whole original ruse about independent journalism being more pure and honest is just simply not true at all. It’s depressing.
It really is crazy. "Daddy elon scammed me and now I'm $120k in debt and homeless and also in the hospital because my truck spontaneously combusted" "But I still love the truck, also Elon is gonna make it all better soon"
Yesss. It appears I am not the only one who saw the inconsistency there. First Snazzy tells us he is selling his truck because it is really over-priced, but at the end he shows how happy he is with it. Confusing stuff... Especially the custome serivce issue - that is NOT okay. How can you stay positive about a company that wants to give you a dirty and scratched 100.000 dollar purchase? If I would do copywriting and journalism like Snazzy makes his videos, I would have 0 clients and be blamed as a liar. :p
who wouldnt sell it, when the price is so inflated because of exclusivity and US regional avaiablelity.. maybe you should learn to read through the lines. Its a 50k car, its budgeted to cost 50k, the BOM cost is way lower if it was retailed to 50k MSRP.. so that people are selling them, who was on a list for many many years to score a profit. on a car that will only go down in price when it becomes normal and other regions also get access.. who wouldn't? if you can sell it for 100k, and you can purchase it back in a year or two for 40 to 55k. Supply & demand... a lot of these cars are being exported.. Tesla tried to lock "resale" down with agreements, but its out with the bathwater. That you sell an item at a weirdly high price because of "exclusivity" and inflated price because of ltd supply & demand.. doesn't make the thing bad.... you do get that.? And No I don't have any Tesla cars.
Our lenses are entirely different. I'm not at all approaching this from a commodities perspective. Coming strictly from a viability practicality viewpoint.
I think you need to try a civic or corolla to recalibrate how you see cars. Calling that a $50k interior even from 5 years ago is a crazy thing to say. A civic is less than $30k and the inside is of way higher quality than that.
@GHOSTSTARSCREAM He said both. Anyone who sees the interior will tell you that it's unacceptable, I don't disagree with that. But the comparison makes the point that it would've been fine at $50k when it's not even fine for $30k whether it was 5 years ago or today.
It‘s really nice that this 7000 POUND truck doesn‘t give me an actual feel for the road and it‘s actual weight!!! Who‘d like to constantly be reminded that they‘re driving a giant murder machine that would require a completely different skillset if it were classified as anything else besides a truck?
@@dandafan Yeah, ofc there are. But that's not what this comment is going for. If you have big and heavy vehicle it's important to get good feedback from the road and your driving. You can get comfort without sacrificing feedback and feeling. It's good for big vehicles to feel like big vehicles because that will make you drive and manoeuvre it like the big (and hence inherently more dangerous) vehicle it is.
Nah, the absurd stainless steel assembly, along with the custom machines needed, probably raised the price a LOT, and it probably takes a lot longer to do than a non-stainless steel car which would also add to cost @@llukas0906
@@Maver655 sadly, many consider it to be politically correct nowadays to harshly criticize the cybertruck even if you like it as a veiled jab against Elon.
@@charleslorne It is not politically correct to criticise the cybertruck. It is morally necessary and scientifically accurate to criticise the cybertruck.
This guy demonstrating the spatial capabilities of the vehicle using bulk paper towels and Pepsi made my jaw drop. It's so obvious that this truck is nothing but a status symbol, designed for people with more money than sense, who don't actually actually do any sort of physical work that you would actually use a truck for.
Yeah. Everything he points out in the video shows that the only people buying this things are Elon fanboys. The quality control and general design decisions that went into that truck are utter garbage. What a gigantic waste of money and time…
@@ALCRAN2010my truck can do that. People think the teslas are minimalist, well, mine has crank windows, three switches for the climate controls, no cruise control, you have to reach out to adjust the mirrors, and a manual transmission. The only features I have are cup holders and a speedometer lol
YT'r buy vehicles to make videos. Many were thinking they could buy review and flip these for a profit. Used listings are at or above what owners paid.
Almost all of them make videos like this: "I'm selling the cybertruck, here's everything wrong with it!" And at the end of the video: "It's a good car." No. It is not, lmao. Who in their right mind spends 100k on something, praises it, but then sells it because he doesn't like it that much? Sounds like hypocrisy to me.
That is absolutely wild that Tesla was clearly trying to pass of a second hand truck as a brand new truck. “7 day, 1000miles, and you can return it!” Goes to check out what should be a brand new truck off the factory floor and instead gets a truck that a customer clearly tested and rejected during the 7 day grace period. USD100,000 for that? Wild!!!
@@abdullahamir974 They def can't reset the ODO, that would be illegal. But they can still sell it as "new" if it's under a certain mileage. Dealers do this all the time.
not wild at all if you look at the demand. there is nothing even remotely comparable. and while snazzy said tesla is not young anymore, Tesla IS young. the waverage car company is over 100 years old. tesla was literally the first to be able to go into mass production in over 100 years nobody was able to do that.
And we locked all critical and non critical functions behind it, just to be sure we split your attention we have this 'tilt' function so you can focus on the screen better than the road.
@@jonathanvl1160 Um. Given that you have to use the screen, you really can't criticize them for making it easier to see. Sure, criticize the "have to use the screen" part but, once that terrible decision has been made, they absolutely need to make the screen as easy to see as possible.
@@beeble2003 If only there was a way to eliminate the need to tilt the screen to see certain info, say a hud? Maybe, just maybe a dashboard that shows you various icons and info such as speed? That would be nice wouldn't it?
When you say the interior looks like a $50k car from five years ago, I heartily disagree. My $40k suv from 2012 is far nicer inside than that McDonald’s play place called a truck 😂

@@carlospennav You rarely have to actually steer a plane though, and the avionics are typically triple redundant, decades old tech, none of those things apply here
because there's a clause that prevents owners from being able to resell their cars.. Not sure if you can even return it for the cost. That might even be why it was so dirty? Conspiracy, it was owned by someone else who gave it back to the dealer and they didn't even detail the car between owners.
And after all of these deal breakers, to actually suggest that it’s a good truck? Maybe there are some decent features but I really don’t think we’re there yet.
"This truck has minor comfort and interior quality issues, but it's fine and I'd recommend it." Indeed, barring the laundry list of safety issues including - Lack of crumple zones - Reduced visibility - Accelerator getting stuck - Pieces of the exterior getting dislodged and becoming a road hazard But barring those and the fact that weather or a carwash can brick it: Yeah sure, it's a totally reasonable and usable vehicle. Take it to your job site and get laughed off as you have to walk away because your lead-brick of a truck got stuck in a patch of mud and the diff-lock feature isn't available yet.
@@diseasedwombat5611 Well, it's so that after a terrible crash, you can still sell the seemingly unharmed cyber truck, which will help pay for the occupants' funeral costs. Very forward thinking.
You buy a $100k car from any brand and they'll make a show out of the delivery. The car will be detailed, paint corrected, centred on the showroom floor with a cloth and bowtie a person will show you all the features and Tesla just yep here you go bye
Sadly, an increasing number of manufacturers are starting to drop the ball because of Tesla, but they're still leading the pack with worst customer experience.
Yeah , the standard of finish is not good , we have dual motor long range in the family fleet , it managed to escape finishing without even being totally covered with top coat , water leaks in some of the lights , not something you would expect on a brand new 75k car. And again despite having all the gimmicky electronics of an EV , they are still cheap in many ways , or the kind way of putting it minimalist on inside At least ours has stalks 😊.
Seeing how much of a car’s basic functionality is no longer mechanical, but electronic (and sometimes needlessly so) makes me worry about the future of car reliability and repairability. Maintenance and repair costs are going to go through the roof. And you don’t want to have to CNTRL+ALT+DELETE while you are driving if something stops working….
@@rayr6278 You forgot brakes, which along with tires, wear out more frequently on heavier EVs. New ICE cars have warranties too though... I don't see your point. Saving up to a couple hundred a year on oil changes isn't worth all the EV downsides.

Thanks for the balanced review. That build quality for 100K is unspeakably bad, add to that a mud caked dirty car you have to drive 90 minutes to pick up. For 100K, you should get a detailed vehicle and concierge delivery to your door. No pre delivery inspection before signing papers is a deal breaker. I’ve been buying new and used cars for over 45 years and I’ve never once been told I can’t first look at what I am about to open my check book to buy. No lookie, no sale.
I think it's just a symptom of how billionaire CEOs' endgame is gutting all the senior workers, increasing the price, lowering the quality, and using legislature to hide behind their decisions to enrich themselves
@@jishan6992 I mean, I have mostly Apple products. Because I have to for work. But yeah, buying the same phone every single year is pretty stupid. That VR headset was a fuc**** joke too. It’s a little different with Tesla, because these people are buying a vehicle that goes way faster than it should, and will literally slice you in half when it hits you. And knowing how Tesla drivers drive, they LOVE slamming the pedal to the floor. All the time. Especially in neighborhoods.
The way Tesla handles deliveries seems indicative of a larger problem with how the company treats its customers - it doesn't like or respect them. Tesla expects its customers to feel like it's doing them a favor by *allowing* them to buy this 6 figure vehicle that costs more and does less than what was promised 5 years ago, and what's unfortunate is that the Tesla fanbase is so loyal that a lot of customers seem to think that's okay.
Every coin has 2 sides. People who buy cars from dealerships at times take there cars back because they are not quite right. With Tesla you might have a longer list of things to fix. Not having a dealer selling you junk add on's is worth thousands. Some say the Tesla buying experience is why they will not buy from a dealer.
To be fair, it’s not like any dealership experience is going to be better. The one good thing, and probably only good thing about Tesla is the buying process. You don’t have to spend hours trying to find a dealer that’s willing to sell you at msrp, don’t have to worry about forced add ons and hidden fees, and there’s actual customer support after you buy the car.
Tesla isnt a dealership, at most youll get a congratulations when going to pick up your car. That lets them sell at cheaper prices, have faster delivery times, and sell at MSRP. I'd gladly take the downfalls of dealing with Tesla than having to go into a dealer, bargain, and still end up paying over MSRP because there's a shortage and they're holding inventory hostage. Most of them wont even sell in cash anymore, they all want you to finance.
Even Ferrari, once they agree to sell you one of their cars, will treat their customers like kings. And they always acted like they were doing you a favor by letting you have one of their cars. With the Cybertruck, you get a better buying experience when you go to Lowes and buy a stainless steel Samsung refrigerator.
Very likely. They say you can expect 200,000 miles out of a Corolla and we only drive about 3,100 a year. At that rate it would take us 64.51 years to rack up 200k miles.
A testament to just how low consumer expectations have sunk. I really like your channel, but the red flags you mention should logically be DEAL BREAKERS. That lag you mention could potentially cause a collision, and I was taking note of all the places where the cheap build quality will likely cause an early demise of the truck's usability. I don't know how anyone could recommend this vehicle, especially given that it is possibly the worst of the Tesla's at retaining any value. There is no reason to believe that the value will bottom out given that there appears to be little progress on Tesla's CRM or evolution of design.
A bunch of the things he pointed at as great were just sort of. what a car should be able to do? And then the cons were like, oh that’s literally asking for a fatal accident…
Touchscreen is wild to me. Buttons and knobs have the advantage of tactility, where you can just feel around and do what you want without having to look at it. I've written entire text messages on my cellphones with T9 while having it in my pocket. This seems very advantageous for driving, where you particularly want to avoid looking away from the road.
I read a whole article on how buttons are now being saved for luxury cars because they cost more to make and touchscreens are cheaper - but they’re also far less accessible and less easy to use because of what you pointed out. Touch screens require you to look at them, which is inherently more dangerous.
@Anonymous-is6xu omg it has 10° rear steering 😱 thats gonna outweigh all the flaws of the truck! But you know whats the best thing? You still turn around in 2 strives like with any other SUV on a two lane road xD
90% of these issues come from "quirky design" winning over practicality EVERY SINGLE TIME. I imagine the designer being a huge Sega 32X fan in a meeting discussing the car design, while every engineer and automotive design expert was lying bound and gagged on the floor.
"It's a good truck","its a good car" No it's not. lol I like how he snuck that in at the end after telling us a bunch of reasons why its bad and not even the most important reasons. 22:07 Whatever "Tesla people" means I'm guessing this guy is definitely one of those. Southpark had an episode like this about prius people lol
Meh, depends on where you are. There are quite a few ranches and farms around where I live and trucks are almost always towing some piece of equipment or full of some material in the bed. It is weird to me how many trucks I see in the city though. Highly impractical in the city.
In most of Europe all these trucks don't make any sense. People don’t buy them because they are too big, impractical and absurd to the roads and cities here. 🤷🏻
Yeah because everyone has 100k to spend for a "side truck". Traduction : I don't bother losing so much money on a bad product I won't have to use anyway.
I had to laugh at that line. There's no universe you can fit a reasonable toolset in there, or any real work equipment. The trunk space is way too fucking small. How can it make a good work truck, if you can't actually haul anything meaningful with it?
I can't say i'm shocked by the build quality. Minimum Viable Product works great for SaaS where you can ship updates frequently, not so much in the 2nd biggest purchase in your life behind a house, which never changes after you buy it.
Yeah, again... it worked for a while because only Tesla was making EVs that were any good and the adoption curve is such that the early tail adopters tolerated it; however, the landscape has changed and there's some very luxurious EV options.
One of the most enjoyable reviews in a long time, and surprisingly positive. The actual vehicle is a bit silly, with styling-induced compromises like the rear headroom, but I hope some of the technologies dribble down to a vehicle I will actually want to own.
Who the hell thinks that this design is futuristic ? Yeah people that were young in the early to mid 70s would think it is, but literally every one else should know better
This design isn't even remotely new nor revolutionary. Go look up and research about the "DMC DeLorean" it was practically the Cybertruck 1.0 and the DeLorean was such a massive failure in terms of design, manufacturing and sales that it bought the entire company (DMC) down with it.
The thing is that it doesn't make sense to say something looks futuristic. It's something that hasn't happened yet you can't predict it. Anything that wasn't already created can be considered futuristic it just depends which branch of fiction you wanna get into.
15:13 The steering lag matters *even more* because of the variable ratio. Not only doea the driver have to account for input delay, but also how their vehicle speed will affect how much the wheels turn for the same amount of steering wheel movement. Of course, all steer-by-wire systems have _some_ lag, but if that's all you have to account for, it's far easier to get used to than accounting for multiple variables at once.
Absolutely. I've heard arguments like "but planes are steer-by-wire and they're fine". This isn't a plane where you have a well-developed, sophisticated auto-pilot to do most of the hard work, or have 30,000 feet of unobstructed sky to react. And planes have analog backup for their steering if electricals fail, which does happen. Shit can go wrong in a fraction of a second and you'll immediately be smushed against another car. Trusting one of the most important part of driving with shoddy software is like mega sketchy.
I would be terrified to be driving a vehicle on a highway where the steering inputs are completely software controlled without any mechanical linkage. That’s an absolute time bomb waiting to happen due to a software glitch.
Even my 2000 Toyota Tundra had a sensor failure which shut off the engine as I was driving down the road - and I had almost no steering or brakes. I know one can argue 'almost no' is infinitely better than none, but still 20 year old vehicles are timebombs with inadequate steering/breaks if they fail a certain way. Just saying, I don't intend to purchase a tesla truck.
I belive the title part was pure clickbait... :s I know, I'm also sick and tired of fanboys using fake journalistic elements in their videos. If I would do that, I would have 0 clients...
But thats nothing new 100% Silent interiors have been around since the 80's, Specially things like Limos and Business cars and so on. ALL top end Mercs and BMW "First Class" luxury cars and business cars have had 100% Silent interiors for a long time now.
I saw one of these on the road the other day and I legit started laughing. Man, how embarrassing to drive one of these... Remind me of when the Hummer came out.
I saw one in highway traffic. The word that came to mind is "incongruous." It looks like it shouldn't be there. Looks like it isn't a car. And I was surprised at how small it looked.
From the owners manual: If washing in an automatic car wash, use touchless car washes only. These car washes have no parts (brushes, etc.) that touch the surfaces of Cybertruck. Some touchless car washes use caustic solutions that, over time, can cause discoloration of decorative exterior trim. Avoid exposure to soaps and chemicals above pH 13. If unsure, check the product label or ask the staff at the car wash. Damage caused by improper washing is not covered by the warranty.
It is perfectly fine if you don't use powerful detergents, if you clean it fast and dry it softly in the shade, and of course, don't have grease on your hands, don't drive it on salty roads etc etc. :))
@@snazzy Wasn't the meme started because someone's Cybertruck literally died going through a carwash? Same as phones back in the day were splash resistant but you could drop your phone and submerge it in water and it could be okay... or not... Luck of the draw.
@@zagohcap That headline was bait. The guy's Cybertruck wasn't bricked; only the screen stopped working temporarily due to a software error, and it was fixed by the next day. The car wash had literally nothing to do with it except that it happened a few hours after they had gone to a car wash. It's like if your car broke down after you had a sandwich for lunch and saying it was because of the sandwich.
That lack of steering feedback is really concerning in situations like hydroplaning or other dangerous conditions. Drivers can lose the ability to react and the car can lose control. Scary
Yeah, I personally hate the low feedback of luxury cars (like BMWs and the like), and this just seems even worse. Imagine just not feeling what’s happening to your car at all.
Tesla owners. They eat that up. And they're under the false impression that any complaint they have about the car is just one OTA update away from being corrected.
@@jimbuchanan5550 Agree. That is why Tesla having voice control for most things is so useful. Saying "make it warmer" is better than moving a slide. Similar saying navigate to "mom", "home", etc.
I’ve been driving trucks for years. As a wood worker and builder and horse owner, my trucks have work to do. The Cyber truck would fail at everything I would want it to do. Most notably, the total electric propulsion would make it utterly useless in the winter where temps drop to -25 degrees for weeks to months. The cyber truck is also downright UGLY. And the interior is horrendous. When I’ve been out on a country road 50 miles from anywhere, caught in a rain or snow storm, I really appreciate the comfort of my RAM longhorn leather heated seats, with heated steering wheel, In there I am comfortable and cozy until the weather breaks and I can continue my trek. Sitting in that oversized ice machine with its sparse bus stop interior would be horrible. And utility as a truck? Terrible. As for its video game steering where you can’t feel the road or terrain, and the total sound blockout - I’d hate that. I love nature and I want to feel the connection I have with the road or terrain. It’s a safety issue and a sensory issue. Driving around in a sound proof booth that gives me no feel for the world outside the plastic phone booth I’m in - would be sad and disappointing.
I believe electric car sales are actually higher in some northern European countries which get pretty cold in the winter, so I think that discounts the worries of the winter months being too cold for the batteries. Also beauty is in the eye of the beholder, I think this truck is gorgeous. I love it's aesthetic. Aesthetic design is purely subjective, just ask the fashion industry. Tastes change all the time. What we now think was ugly fashion of the past, people once loved. But that doesn't excuse all the issues I've heard about this truck. This is basically my dream car in terms of aesthetic design, just... because it's a Tesla, I don't think I would ever get it. I've heard enough negativity around Tesla's quality control and I do NOT like their minimal interior design and lack of buttons.
I'll be honest, I'm getting incredibly sick of hearing that companies are addressing issues via a software update. Build the vehicle properly in the first place.
I agree with you, but in a pinch its handy-never needs to be charged and always stays in the car. I mostly don't like how kids can't really reach it from the car seat so the parent has to crane their head over the center console to start the video (because it can't be done from the main screen-even when parked).
I appreciate the balanced reporting of good and bad things about this vehicle. I am still trying to decide if I will buy when my pre-order ticket comes up. Thank you!
I just bought a 2019 Nissan Titan last year for $12.5k. It was the base model (S model) with a standard cab...not the king size cab or even the extended cab. Just standard with 2.5 seats which is all I need, and a full-size 8' box for hauling whatever. The dash has many spots where there is a plastic plate instead of a switch since it's the base model. It doesn't have all the fancy gadgets that come with the XD, Pro-4X, or even the SV, but I don't care. It still has all the basic options like 4WD, a good-sounding stereo system, and a display full of analog gauges and a center digital display that can show me additional gauges and information. What do you get with a cyber truck? A tablet that sits over in the center of the dash with a cheap af interior for a vehicle with a 6 digit price! The amount of corporate fanboyism within Tesla is astounding, but it seems to be the biggest thing that's keeping it alive.
Exactly, why would anyone advertise so loudly that they are wiling to give their money to the biggest narcissistic sociopath conman the world has ever seen?
Seriously! I mean there are hundreds and hundreds of hours of YT video of new Tesla owners showing the terrible build quality of brand new vehicles, absurd service center experiences, and excuses for a non-premium vehicle.
I'm a TSLA investor, I love the company, but I've seen a Cybertruck in the flesh for the first time last weekend, and man, it looked even worse in person than in photos. It just screamed "look at me I'm desperate for attention". As an investor, I want these to sell like hot cakes. As a customer, I wouldn't be caught dead in one of them, as a pedestrian, I wouldn't want to be hit by one. Looking forward to see their next economic vehicle :)
Sorry to say this, and having not owned a Tesla I understand if I am missing something (kinda like Windows not understanding Mac), but your last comments told me so much. Its a truck for Tesla people. That should never be a sentence. It's either a truck or it isn't. If I said its a laptop for Apple people, that would suggest its not a good laptop, but one Apple fans would endure. A laptop needs to fulfil certain criteria, needs to be portable, fast enough to get the work you need done, be reliable, have enough storage for your needs and have good battery life. Price and aesthetics are secondary (but also important). If you don't need those essential things, then you probably don't need a laptop. A truck needs to have enough range while moving equipment to and from your worksite. Most reviews never cover this and give Tesla a free pass. Comfort and gadgets are also important, but not essential. I also don't understand why so many things that could be manual and save precious battery aren't. I don't need a spaceship from 2500, I need a truck.
Software matters far more with laptops. So it really does make sense to call a laptop "for Apple people." I'm not going to just up and change the operating system and all the software I own just because Dell made a laptop that is 20% faster or had a battery that lasted a bit longer than the comparable Mac (they didn't, just a hypothetical). I want to use MacOS. Dell was never an option. And Tesla has sold customers primarily on their software. Like it or not, the Cybertruck is going to do what most truck owners need it to do. Maybe not as well in some ways as another truck, but well enough. It really is like Apple. I hate to say that as an "Apple person" myself but not a Tesla person. I get it. I still think the hardware matters more in an automobile. I barely interact with the software in a car or truck.
99% of people (at least Americans) have trucks in order to be able to haul something once a year lol most people here are not buying trucks as a work vehicle or to do any truck related things. Those people annoy me and I don’t like trucks. I like the cyber truck because it’s kinda the anti truck truck… which is what I think he means but also after seeing this I’m not buying one unless they come out with a refresh like the model 3
Because its the continuation of 'it's an suv for moms'. you don't need an suv, heck an suv has even less room than a sedan. You need a van or anything else. But it's popular and big. Heck, a lot of people who say they need a truck would actually benefit more from having a utility truck.
Yay, its Salt Lake City! I've only seen one cybercrap along the Wasatch Front. Thank God! 4 minutes in to the video and I must say my 2007 Tacoma 4x4 SR5 trim has far less hard plastic than the cybercrap and, yes, it fortunately has no leather, either. I bought it used in 2008 for 17K. Just sayin'.
The steering/turning on a cybertruck is actually worse than a vehicle of equivalent size and dimensions and has to have the rear steer just to make realistic turns. Rich Rebuilds showed this in his Cybertruck video.
To be fair that’s the only thing I don’t see a problem with. Turn your steering wheel all the way to the left or right and you’ll probably still be slower than the lag in this truck because of how little you have to turn it.
I'm surprised drive by wire is even legal at all. Back in the day about 20 years ago we built a self driving car with hydraulic steering and were told it would not be street legal unless there was a physical connection between the steering wheel and the tires. It had to remain driveable if the system failed. But these are clearly not built that way.
Airbus airplanes have the same - just a kind of joystick. The philosophy is that you watch the instruments to see what the plane is actually doing. In a car, I'd love to see a laser ring gyro, though - which initiates braking and steering maneuvers as soon as the actual movement of the car does not follow the steering wheel inputs. This could avoid so many accidents in snowy and icy conditions, even in normal cars with force feedback.
For real. Playing Forza Horizon with a Logitech wheels has more feedback than whatever this is. And I can't die in Forza if I make a mistake or the wheel acts up.
We had a very similar experience on our delivery of the CT. Truck was dirty. Panels not aligned. We drove it home from Phoenix which is 220 miles from our home. The cheap mud flag fell off. Next the car stopped working. The dealer sent a tow to pick up. Next the service advisor said we must have drove over something which causes all of the coolant leak out, yet no liquid was on the ground. The issue was a bad chip which mistakenly reported no coolant in the car. It was in the shop for a week. The panel is still an issue as it is not aligned. So we have to take it back to the dealer. So disappointing to shell out 101 grand for this experience. Lastly agree seems cheap and poor QC.
16:13 -- Knew full well about the steer-by-wire setup, never dawned on me that Tesla would forgo any kind of force feedback in the wheel... I think it's a dubious choice at best for regular road driving, as not knowing when you're wheel is being pulled/pushed by potholes, curbs, berms, etc. definitely isn't great. But it for sure makes this thing a non-starter off road; knowing how the vehicle is reacting to the terrain you're putting it over is super important even just going down sand roads, mud ruts, whatever. To not have that instant feedback is asking for trouble. Good thing the overwhelming majority of people who buy these will never take it anywhere more exciting than a gravel parking lot.
@@elbiggus I was sure that it had force feedback. because that what would do, and if my 2 rate engineer ass tough that I would assume that Tesla engineers also would. this makes the cybertruck unsuited for offroad and barely capable for on road
Imagine paying a 100k for a brand new car and the dealership hands you a dirty one. I have never ever bought a new car without the dealership washing it and giving me an opportunity to inspect it before handing it over! and I live in what Americans like to refer to as a third world country!
I tried to query that but he said he reviewed the purchase experience that Tesla sells. I guess a Cybertruck purchase is just small change if you're highly successful. The rest of us might feel quite differently which is, for me, the flaw in these kinds of videos. The other factor these reviews never seem to deal with is buying a car from a person like Musk. Maybe the vibe around him is different in the US to the UK. For me it's like golfers continuing to play at Trump's golf courses - I just couldn't do it.
When I picked up my new car in December I had to beg the dealership to not wash it because I was on a time crunch and they didn't have a chance to do it before I showed up. It was like torture for him to deliver me the car unwashed. Even though it was spotless anyway.
@@Zakariah1971 You don't finish a video with the words 'it is a good car' and then sell it. So I believe we have been wildly misinformed by the unjournalistic clickbait title...
This whole discussion has reminded me of the Titan. I posted a comment comparing the situations. After reading Walter Isaacson's bio of Elon and how he makes decisions about risk, I would never buy a Tesla. (To be fair I wasn't much tempted. My experience as an Uber passenger has been sufficiently negative.)
Our customer experience during a model y purchase pushed me away from the brand. I am really glad you called out the nuances of how they leveraged you in this situation, incredibly frustrating and shows they just need to move the truck and could care less about you anymore and I genuinely hope they take this feedback and fix it. They’re charging way too much to treat customers like they do it’s really disappointing
Had the same experience with our Y. Dirty and not prepped. Nothing done to show you anything about the crazy nuances of a Tesla. Just sign the docs and get the the h**l out of here
@@utubepunkit’s more expensive to acquire new customers than take care of existing ones in a lot of cases. That combined with other mfg offering more compelling products allows customers choice and leaves Tesla spending more to get them back, it’s bad business and being driven by sales figures they will bend to maximize profits. In my case, they refused a $250 “non refundable order fee” for a used car I was able to reserve on their site, even though they later identified that there would be cross state titling issues. At the time profit margins on the Y weee said to be ~28% for 56k car, 15,680 in profit, they put me through so many text chats and emails to try and waive the fee if I placed an order for a new car and they just refused. It was for my wife and she wanted it, but they lost our business during that transaction. Hope the $250 fee was worth it to them, I immediately cancelled 2 reservations and have my next non Tesla picked out
I mean, he clearly has the money to throw around. Doesn't sound like there was much risk. Probably makes more off the video than he'll lose in the resale.
This is BS. There is no lag. It’s just the time it takes to go full side to side. It’s still much much faster than any human could turn the wheels using conventional steering.
@@spe007thats literally lag. If steering wheel is full lock then it takes time tires to move to full lock. You can achieve situation where steering wheel is turned right but tires are still turned left. Tires are lagging behind in time
The question is, does it lag relative to what? Does it lag relative to a human turning full left to full right? No. Nobody can turn a wheel faster than what you see in the clip. So what about the initial movement of the tire after the onset of the steering input? No visible lag there either.
@@edfx Yeah, plus, it doesn’t really matter that it’s faster than a human could turn it. What matters is that there’s a disconnect between your actions and the car’s behavior, which may make it difficult to make accurate adjustments to the wheels.
I like that this is one of the few honest reviews of the Cybertruck out there. Most reviewers either talk shii about it or never talk shii about it. Either they hate it, or they love it.
I hate the ‘everything via the central touch screen’ “clean design’ principle. I liked Tesla cleaning up the interior of cars massively, and a lot can move onto screen, but physical buttons that dynamically change in function depending on the moment are far superior, as are stalks on round steering wheels and physical air vents that enable you to position the flow where you want. This was part of why I decided to move away from Tesla after half a decade,. Because the Model 3 Performance when I got one in early 2019 was the best car in the world, but not is dated and has not improved at all. Truth is you get far better luxury and quality from other manufacturers, plus better customer service. I opted for a Hummer EV and loving it.. I also only use it as a daily local driver, because EV’s are terrible for road trips versus gas. Don’t let anybody pretend otherwise.
I test drove one and decided that my Rivian R1T is way better for my needs. 3 things. 1 - Driver screen 2- gear tunnel, large frunk 3 - smaller and much nicer interior. Add a bonus I love the range and efficiency on my R1T
Yes, they are. Lars Moravy talks about it in a video. They don’t have to have crossbeams for side impact crashes because the side panels there are 75% of the load. That’s why it’s only the side panels that are 9 mm bulletproof.
@@canieto1 Exoskeleton would mean that the outer panels are bearing the cars weight, which is not true. What you are describing is a kind of reinforcement of single components, not a structural element.
@@matty7834 It would lack side impact integrity, that's it. This is a bone fide unibody construction vehicle. The only difference between this and most other unibody vehicles is that the outer skin is glued on, not welded.
The fact that you have to move things around on the touchscreen while driving is kinda terrifying. Like your ad spot is literally saying people should pay attention to the road when driving which you apparently can't do in this thing.
Seems like a major liability and class action lawsuit waiting to happen.
Normally, I'm not opposed to touch screens in cars (I prefer buttons, but screens are fine). It's interesting to see someone like Rivian that just made their UI a lot simpler with huge tap targets on buttons and bold (frankly kinda ugly, but bold) text so you don't have to take your eyes off the road. Then you've got Tesla putting mirrors on the screen.
You don’t need to while driving
@@chidorirasenganz How do you adjust the temperature or the windshield wipers? Or do you never adjust those while driving?
@@chaosfenix I don’t because they happen automatically. I keep the temp set to 70 degrees and the auto wipers work fine. Though if I did want to adjust them I can just click the button on the stalk once for one wipe or click the stalk and use the scroll wheel to adjust the speed
Just what a 7000lb tank needs: complete sensory isolation from the environment…
The steering wheel does have a motor to provide feedback and centering. At some point Tesla may provide a slider to make this adjustable. People don't want trucks that drive like a truck. Automakers have been improving truck ride and suspension for a long long time.
@@danharold3087 not just the steering but all the noise cancelling and lack of feeling the road.

According to a recent Louis Rossman video, the Cybertruck advertises that it can be used as a stationary power source as you mentioned, but the terms of use actually state that it voids the warranty if you do. 🤣😂
Yup. Voids if you use it as a “permanent” or “stationary” source. So just use it while driving for only 1 min! 2 mins is much too permanent
That's a lawsuit just waiting to happen.
SO it is TOTALLY FUCKING USELESS THEN!!?!?!?!!!
@@gbsailing9436Not at all! It serves to void the warranty so Tesla and their fan boys can tell you it's your fault when their 100k heap is messed up.

"Steering lag" has got to be one of the most terrifying combination of words I have heard in a long time
and you really see it in the vid. the wheels keep moving for almost a full second after the steering is at rest.
@@dyamonde9555 Exactly what you want on an incompressible 7k pound tank that can do 0-60 in less than 3 seconds...
@@dyamonde9555 but thats not steering lag tho? I was watching frame by frame, the moment the steering wheel moved, the wheels moved as well.
You literally cannot notice it. 8,000 miles with it and never once noticed ANYTHING resembling lag.
About the only thing more terrifying is “brake lag”, no doubt a feature of a future Tesla. 😂
Not being able to hear traffic is terrifying. Not having clear and instant feedback on your tire positioning is terrifying. Not being able to look behind you is terrifying (if I also can't hear that truck behind me). Not having a crumple zone and the thing being build out of solid stainless steel is terrifying. Having purely electronic locks in an electric car is terrifying, considering how they burn (if you're unconscious after a crash and the car starts burning or you need medical attention, then people on the outside also can't do anything but watch (if the computer got damaged)). Not having tempered glass in the doors is terrifying (again, people can't get you out, and neither can you, if the doors lock shut). This entire thing is terrifying. How is it even legal on a street (well it isn't in europe... so...)? Why would you pay 100k for a death trap?
All Tesla's have Manuel door releases in the event the power goes out and the glass is actually pretty easy to break.
@@mr.f.i.p4780 and where is the manual release on the outside of the truck? And didn't they advertise the glass as thermo nuclear safe (what a dumb way to classify glass... since it's complete nonsense) and hard to break with him wanting to demo that it is hard to break? That was an advertised feature.
Sure, it's a death trap in many ways, but to be fair, it is also highly dangerous to anybody near it. I saw someone peeling a carrot with the door edges. And those body edges...
@@voidedname Show me the Manual release on the outside of any vehicle. If your in a crash all vehicles gas or ev will remained lock. Absolutely no difference
They don't need one. The glass in them is designed to completely break away as a safety feature. So a) you can use the interior release from the outside, and b) you can drag someone through the side window as it's also designed to break into many mostly harmless pieces. Neither is true for the cybertruck (as advertised) (never broke one of theirs, and I don't think an owner would appreciate it if I did)

maybe you should learn to read through the lines.
Its a 50k car, its budgeted to cost 50k, the BOM cost is way lower if it was retailed to 50k MSRP..
so that people are selling them, who was on a list for many many years to score a profit. on a car that will only go down in price when it becomes normal and other regions also get access.. who wouldn't?
if you can sell it for 100k, and you can purchase it back in a year or two for 40 to 55k.
Supply & demand... a lot of these cars are being exported.. Tesla tried to lock "resale" down with agreements, but its out with the bathwater.
That you sell an item at a weirdly high price because of "exclusivity" and inflated price because of ltd supply & demand.. doesn't make the thing bad.... you do get that.?
And No I don't have any Tesla cars.
Our lenses are entirely different. I'm not at all approaching this from a commodities perspective. Coming strictly from a viability practicality viewpoint.
I think you need to try a civic or corolla to recalibrate how you see cars. Calling that a $50k interior even from 5 years ago is a crazy thing to say. A civic is less than $30k and the inside is of way higher quality than that.
Definitely. This is nowhere near the quality of 100k dollars and looks worse than many cars 1/2 or even 1/4th the price from over 5 years ago.
@GHOSTSTARSCREAMacceptable
Corolla ctv trany sucks!
@GHOSTSTARSCREAM He said both. Anyone who sees the interior will tell you that it's unacceptable, I don't disagree with that. But the comparison makes the point that it would've been fine at $50k when it's not even fine for $30k whether it was 5 years ago or today.
My A Class also has a better interior, yup

Thanks for the balanced review. That build quality for 100K is unspeakably bad, add to that a mud caked dirty car you have to drive 90 minutes to pick up.

How much did you get for it ! Half of what you paid ?
The way Tesla handles deliveries seems indicative of a larger problem with how the company treats its customers - it doesn't like or respect them. Tesla expects its customers to feel like it's doing them a favor by *allowing* them to buy this 6 figure vehicle that costs more and does less than what was promised 5 years ago, and what's unfortunate is that the Tesla fanbase is so loyal that a lot of customers seem to think that's okay.
Every coin has 2 sides. People who buy cars from dealerships at times take there cars back because they are not quite right. With Tesla you might have a longer list of things to fix.
Not having a dealer selling you junk add on's is worth thousands. Some say the Tesla buying experience is why they will not buy from a dealer.
To be fair, it’s not like any dealership experience is going to be better.
The one good thing, and probably only good thing about Tesla is the buying process. You don’t have to spend hours trying to find a dealer that’s willing to sell you at msrp, don’t have to worry about forced add ons and hidden fees, and there’s actual customer support after you buy the car.
Looks like its silicone valley roots just shining through
Tesla isnt a dealership, at most youll get a congratulations when going to pick up your car. That lets them sell at cheaper prices, have faster delivery times, and sell at MSRP. I'd gladly take the downfalls of dealing with Tesla than having to go into a dealer, bargain, and still end up paying over MSRP because there's a shortage and they're holding inventory hostage. Most of them wont even sell in cash anymore, they all want you to finance.
Even Ferrari, once they agree to sell you one of their cars, will treat their customers like kings. And they always acted like they were doing you a favor by letting you have one of their cars. With the Cybertruck, you get a better buying experience when you go to Lowes and buy a stainless steel Samsung refrigerator.
I just bought a new Corolla and the dealership washed it and filled up the tank for me.
And it’ll probably be still going in 20 years.👍🏻
Very likely. They say you can expect 200,000 miles out of a Corolla and we only drive about 3,100 a year. At that rate it would take us 64.51 years to rack up 200k miles.

Touchscreen is wild to me. Buttons and knobs have the advantage of tactility, where you can just feel around and do what you want without having to look at it. I've written entire text messages on my cellphones with T9 while having it in my pocket. This seems very advantageous for driving, where you particularly want to avoid looking away from the road.
I read a whole article on how buttons are now being saved for luxury cars because they cost more to make and touchscreens are cheaper - but they’re also far less accessible and less easy to use because of what you pointed out. Touch screens require you to look at them, which is inherently more dangerous.

You could use it for a large brick.
I can't say i'm shocked by the build quality. Minimum Viable Product works great for SaaS where you can ship updates frequently, not so much in the 2nd biggest purchase in your life behind a house, which never changes after you buy it.
Yeah, again... it worked for a while because only Tesla was making EVs that were any good and the adoption curve is such that the early tail adopters tolerated it; however, the landscape has changed and there's some very luxurious EV options.
It also helps that in 'murica you can self certify these vehicles because of the class it's in. Which is... absolutely insane to me.

Just got off a particularly bad 12 hour shift building Cybertrucks. This video makes me feel good.
15:13 The steering lag matters *even more* because of the variable ratio. Not only doea the driver have to account for input delay, but also how their vehicle speed will affect how much the wheels turn for the same amount of steering wheel movement.
Of course, all steer-by-wire systems have _some_ lag, but if that's all you have to account for, it's far easier to get used to than accounting for multiple variables at once.
Absolutely. I've heard arguments like "but planes are steer-by-wire and they're fine".
This isn't a plane where you have a well-developed, sophisticated auto-pilot to do most of the hard work, or have 30,000 feet of unobstructed sky to react.
And planes have analog backup for their steering if electricals fail, which does happen.

@@sevendaysin8374 what do you drive ?
From the owners manual:
If washing in an automatic car wash, use touchless car washes only. These car washes have no parts (brushes, etc.) that touch the surfaces of Cybertruck. Some touchless car washes use caustic solutions that, over time, can cause discoloration of decorative exterior trim. Avoid exposure to soaps and chemicals above pH 13. If unsure, check the product label or ask the staff at the car wash. Damage caused by improper washing is not covered by the warranty.
Good to see your truck was still ok after going through the car wash.

I’ve been driving trucks for years. As a wood worker and builder and horse owner, my trucks have work to do.
The Cyber truck would fail at everything I would want it to do.
Most notably, the total electric propulsion would make it utterly useless in the winter where temps drop to -25 degrees for weeks to months.
The cyber truck is also downright UGLY. And the interior is horrendous.
When I’ve been out on a country road 50 miles from anywhere, caught in a rain or snow storm, I really appreciate the comfort of my RAM longhorn leather heated seats, with heated steering wheel, In there I am comfortable and cozy until the weather breaks and I can continue my trek.
Sitting in that oversized ice machine with its sparse bus stop interior would be horrible.
And utility as a truck? Terrible.
As for its video game steering where you can’t feel the road or terrain, and the total sound blockout - I’d hate that.
I love nature and I want to feel the connection I have with the road or terrain. It’s a safety issue and a sensory issue.
Driving around in a sound proof booth that gives me no feel for the world outside the plastic phone booth I’m in - would be sad and disappointing.
Totally not disputing the rest of what you said, but the CT has heated seats and a heated steering wheel, too.
Plug an EV in like you would a block heater for an ICE ,problem solved.
I believe electric car sales are actually higher in some northern European countries which get pretty cold in the winter, so I think that discounts the worries of the winter months being too cold for the batteries.
Also beauty is in the eye of the beholder, I think this truck is gorgeous. I love it's aesthetic. Aesthetic design is purely subjective, just ask the fashion industry. Tastes change all the time. What we now think was ugly fashion of the past, people once loved.
But that doesn't excuse all the issues I've heard about this truck. This is basically my dream car in terms of aesthetic design, just... because it's a Tesla, I don't think I would ever get it. I've heard enough negativity around Tesla's quality control and I do NOT like their minimal interior design and lack of buttons.
I'll be honest, I'm getting incredibly sick of hearing that companies are addressing issues via a software update. Build the vehicle properly in the first place.

I just bought a 2019 Nissan Titan last year for $12.5k. It was the base model (S model) with a standard cab...not the king size cab or even the extended cab. Just standard with 2.5 seats which is all I need, and a full-size 8' box for hauling whatever. The dash has many spots where there is a plastic plate instead of a switch since it's the base model. It doesn't have all the fancy gadgets that come with the XD, Pro-4X, or even the SV, but I don't care. It still has all the basic options like 4WD, a good-sounding stereo system, and a display full of analog gauges and a center digital display that can show me additional gauges and information.
What do you get with a cyber truck? A tablet that sits over in the center of the dash with a cheap af interior for a vehicle with a 6 digit price! The amount of corporate fanboyism within Tesla is astounding, but it seems to be the biggest thing that's keeping it alive.

I'm a TSLA investor, I love the company, but I've seen a Cybertruck in the flesh for the first time last weekend, and man, it looked even worse in person than in photos. It just screamed "look at me I'm desperate for attention". As an investor, I want these to sell like hot cakes. As a customer, I wouldn't be caught dead in one of them, as a pedestrian, I wouldn't want to be hit by one. Looking forward to see their next economic vehicle :)
Sorry to say this, and having not owned a Tesla I understand if I am missing something (kinda like Windows not understanding Mac), but your last comments told me so much. Its a truck for Tesla people. That should never be a sentence. It's either a truck or it isn't.
If I said its a laptop for Apple people, that would suggest its not a good laptop, but one Apple fans would endure. A laptop needs to fulfil certain criteria, needs to be portable, fast enough to get the work you need done, be reliable, have enough storage for your needs and have good battery life. Price and aesthetics are secondary (but also important).
If you don't need those essential things, then you probably don't need a laptop.
A truck needs to have enough range while moving equipment to and from your worksite. Most reviews never cover this and give Tesla a free pass. Comfort and gadgets are also important, but not essential.
I also don't understand why so many things that could be manual and save precious battery aren't. I don't need a spaceship from 2500, I need a truck.
Software matters far more with laptops. So it really does make sense to call a laptop "for Apple people." I'm not going to just up and change the operating system and all the software I own just because Dell made a laptop that is 20% faster or had a battery that lasted a bit longer than the comparable Mac (they didn't, just a hypothetical). I want to use MacOS. Dell was never an option.
And Tesla has sold customers primarily on their software. Like it or not, the Cybertruck is going to do what most truck owners need it to do. Maybe not as well in some ways as another truck, but well enough. It really is like Apple. I hate to say that as an "Apple person" myself but not a Tesla person. I get it. I still think the hardware matters more in an automobile. I barely interact with the software in a car or truck.
@@yarnosh definitely. People like of hate the way Mac work versus a PC. The does not make either right or wrong, just different.

steering wheel lag sounds terrifying
To be fair that’s the only thing I don’t see a problem with. Turn your steering wheel all the way to the left or right and you’ll probably still be slower than the lag in this truck because of how little you have to turn it.
There's no lag for a normal car, it is a lag when compared with a race car.
@@TTibusHmmm. A normal car with rack-and-pinion steering has exactly zero lag.
@TTibus this is not true at all. Most cars are not steer by wire so they don't have this problem
I'm surprised drive by wire is even legal at all. Back in the day about 20 years ago we built a self driving car with hydraulic steering and were told it would not be street legal unless there was a physical connection between the steering wheel and the tires. It had to remain driveable if the system failed. But these are clearly not built that way.
I don't like when cars go full electric interior like the glove box if you're battery is empty how you open it?
not even that. opening a glove box should be a "pull here and it opens" thing, not "needing a UA-cam tutorial" thing.
Holy shit, the fact that the steer by wire system doesn't have force feedback is insane!
Airbus airplanes have the same - just a kind of joystick. The philosophy is that you watch the instruments to see what the plane is actually doing.
In a car, I'd love to see a laser ring gyro, though - which initiates braking and steering maneuvers as soon as the actual movement of the car does not follow the steering wheel inputs.
This could avoid so many accidents in snowy and icy conditions, even in normal cars with force feedback.
For real. Playing Forza Horizon with a Logitech wheels has more feedback than whatever this is.
And I can't die in Forza if I make a mistake or the wheel acts up.
We had a very similar experience on our delivery of the CT. Truck was dirty. Panels not aligned. We drove it home from Phoenix which is 220 miles from our home. The cheap mud flag fell off. Next the car stopped working. The dealer sent a tow to pick up. Next the service advisor said we must have drove over something which causes all of the coolant leak out, yet no liquid was on the ground. The issue was a bad chip which mistakenly reported no coolant in the car. It was in the shop for a week. The panel is still an issue as it is not aligned. So we have to take it back to the dealer. So disappointing to shell out 101 grand for this experience. Lastly agree seems cheap and poor QC.
Sorry to be rude but this is such a self inflicted issue for someone who has more money than sense. Sell the POS and get a Maverick or a Tacoma.

16:13 -- Knew full well about the steer-by-wire setup, never dawned on me that Tesla would forgo any kind of force feedback in the wheel... I think it's a dubious choice at best for regular road driving, as not knowing when you're wheel is being pulled/pushed by potholes, curbs, berms, etc. definitely isn't great. But it for sure makes this thing a non-starter off road; knowing how the vehicle is reacting to the terrain you're putting it over is super important even just going down sand roads, mud ruts, whatever. To not have that instant feedback is asking for trouble.
Good thing the overwhelming majority of people who buy these will never take it anywhere more exciting than a gravel parking lot.
Yep. Given the wheelbase is insanely long, I didn't even try to take it an offroad because it can't be.
I had also assumed there'd be some force feedback; in a vehicle that seems to be made out of suboptimal design, this strikes me as the worst.
@@elbiggus I was sure that it had force feedback. because that what would do, and if my 2 rate engineer ass tough that I would assume that Tesla engineers also would. this makes the cybertruck unsuited for offroad and barely capable for on road
Before this video I literally never considered they wouldn’t include some level of force feedback. Absolutely fucking wild to me
Cybertruck was designed to get into wrecks on the way to starbucks, not going off-road.
most thorough and balanced review i've come across so far. verdict's the same: negatives >>>>> positives.
I see that the Elon tech bros defense force has invaded the comment section. I will never understand why anyone hero worship's that guy.
Then you haven't looked at the comment section. I have only seen comments that (rightfully so) completely slam this thing
He’s one of the most palatable white supremacists around. I mean, he’s not palatable, but compared to the rest…
Imagine paying a 100k for a brand new car and the dealership hands you a dirty one. I have never ever bought a new car without the dealership washing it and giving me an opportunity to inspect it before handing it over! and I live in what Americans like to refer to as a third world country!
I tried to query that but he said he reviewed the purchase experience that Tesla sells. I guess a Cybertruck purchase is just small change if you're highly successful. The rest of us might feel quite differently which is, for me, the flaw in these kinds of videos. The other factor these reviews never seem to deal with is buying a car from a person like Musk. Maybe the vibe around him is different in the US to the UK. For me it's like golfers continuing to play at Trump's golf courses - I just couldn't do it.
When I picked up my new car in December I had to beg the dealership to not wash it because I was on a time crunch and they didn't have a chance to do it before I showed up. It was like torture for him to deliver me the car unwashed. Even though it was spotless anyway.
He didn't say anything about selling the car though.... Just got to the end of the video. Confused by the name now..
The video explains why he bolted after 50 days. Common sense. 🙄
@@Zakariah1971 You don't finish a video with the words 'it is a good car' and then sell it. So I believe we have been wildly misinformed by the unjournalistic clickbait title...
"Drive by wire" reminds me of the 'Titan' submarine, with X-box controller !
This whole discussion has reminded me of the Titan. I posted a comment comparing the situations.
After reading Walter Isaacson's bio of Elon and how he makes decisions about risk, I would never buy a Tesla. (To be fair I wasn't much tempted. My experience as an Uber passenger has been sufficiently negative.)
Our customer experience during a model y purchase pushed me away from the brand. I am really glad you called out the nuances of how they leveraged you in this situation, incredibly frustrating and shows they just need to move the truck and could care less about you anymore and I genuinely hope they take this feedback and fix it. They’re charging way too much to treat customers like they do it’s really disappointing
Had the same experience with our Y. Dirty and not prepped. Nothing done to show you anything about the crazy nuances of a Tesla. Just sign the docs and get the the h**l out of here
What's their incentive to change?
@@utubepunkit’s more expensive to acquire new customers than take care of existing ones in a lot of cases. That combined with other mfg offering more compelling products allows customers choice and leaves Tesla spending more to get them back, it’s bad business and being driven by sales figures they will bend to maximize profits.
In my case, they refused a $250 “non refundable order fee” for a used car I was able to reserve on their site, even though they later identified that there would be cross state titling issues. At the time profit margins on the Y weee said to be ~28% for 56k car, 15,680 in profit, they put me through so many text chats and emails to try and waive the fee if I placed an order for a new car and they just refused. It was for my wife and she wanted it, but they lost our business during that transaction. Hope the $250 fee was worth it to them, I immediately cancelled 2 reservations and have my next non Tesla picked out
@@utubepunk None, at the moment. But, eventually, they'll run out of Elon-fan-boys to sell to.
How dense do you need to be to see all the press around that thing and be like “yeah, I’ll fulfill my preorder”
You have to be rich more than you have a working brain
I mean, he clearly has the money to throw around. Doesn't sound like there was much risk. Probably makes more off the video than he'll lose in the resale.
Because some people actually look into things themselves before reading all of the notoriously unreliable mainstream press.
I mean they pre ordered the car years ago
Pretty hefty clickbait their quin, I think you need to change the title. All I saw is the interior is cheap but otherwise you liked it.
Yeah same.
oh wow look negative reviews about the cybertruck to get clicks ,, I'm so surprised
Yeah, dbag move that one.
5:12
Excuse me? Are we just not gonna talk about this sick drone shot?
Well freaking done by the operator, hats off 🤝
That drone operator was me! Thanks haha
👍
0:01 and what did Tesla say? Are you on their blacklist now?
imagine dying due to input lag...😂
This is BS. There is no lag. It’s just the time it takes to go full side to side. It’s still much much faster than any human could turn the wheels using conventional steering.
@@spe007thats literally lag. If steering wheel is full lock then it takes time tires to move to full lock. You can achieve situation where steering wheel is turned right but tires are still turned left. Tires are lagging behind in time
The question is, does it lag relative to what?
Does it lag relative to a human turning full left to full right? No. Nobody can turn a wheel faster than what you see in the clip.
So what about the initial movement of the tire after the onset of the steering input? No visible lag there either.
@@edfx Yeah, plus, it doesn’t really matter that it’s faster than a human could turn it. What matters is that there’s a disconnect between your actions and the car’s behavior, which may make it difficult to make accurate adjustments to the wheels.
@@ThePC007 exactly why this is a terrible off-road vehicle
I like that this is one of the few honest reviews of the Cybertruck out there. Most reviewers either talk shii about it or never talk shii about it. Either they hate it, or they love it.
I hate the ‘everything via the central touch screen’ “clean design’ principle. I liked Tesla cleaning up the interior of cars massively, and a lot can move onto screen, but physical buttons that dynamically change in function depending on the moment are far superior, as are stalks on round steering wheels and physical air vents that enable you to position the flow where you want.
This was part of why I decided to move away from Tesla after half a decade,. Because the Model 3 Performance when I got one in early 2019 was the best car in the world, but not is dated and has not improved at all.
Truth is you get far better luxury and quality from other manufacturers, plus better customer service. I opted for a Hummer EV and loving it.. I also only use it as a daily local driver, because EV’s are terrible for road trips versus gas. Don’t let anybody pretend otherwise.
I test drove one and decided that my Rivian R1T is way better for my needs. 3 things. 1 - Driver screen 2- gear tunnel, large frunk 3 - smaller and much nicer interior. Add a bonus I love the range and efficiency on my R1T
10:40 it's not an exoskeleton, the stainless steal side panels are not structural, just side panels.
Yes, they are. Lars Moravy talks about it in a video. They don’t have to have crossbeams for side impact crashes because the side panels there are 75% of the load. That’s why it’s only the side panels that are 9 mm bulletproof.
@@canieto1 Exoskeleton would mean that the outer panels are bearing the cars weight, which is not true. What you are describing is a kind of reinforcement of single components, not a structural element.
@@attilarepasi6052 if you replaced the stainless steel panels with aluminium, the cyber tuck would lack structural integrity => they are structural
@@matty7834 It would lack side impact integrity, that's it. This is a bone fide unibody construction vehicle. The only difference between this and most other unibody vehicles is that the outer skin is glued on, not welded.
@@davidbrayshaw3529 I agree it’s not an exoskeleton, its still structural to an extent
Now that's what I call an honest, real talk review and that's why I subscribed. You pointed out quality issues most of the other UA-camrs didn't.
How can something that was delayed for years algo be rushed at the same time?
bad management
Don't work in software, do you? LOL

Well when you're as terribly managed as Tesla, it's pretty easy.
