The Tesla Cybertruck is unlike any other vehicle just by the looks, but driving it is on a whole other level. This is the dual-motor all wheel drive foundation series that costs a whopping $110,000 after taxes and fees, but soon this should be available for $20,000 cheaper when the non-foundation series Cybertrucks begin delivering. One of the most unique and obvious is the ultra-hard stainless steel exterior that is supposedly dent-resistant and reduces longterm corrosion along with the armor glass that Tesla claims can resist the impact of a baseball at 70 mph and also class 4 hail. It’s obviously nice not worrying about paint chips or really any minor damage at all, but the stainless steel does have its drawbacks such as how easily it shows fingerprints, and how blinding it can be at certain angles when the sun hits it. The massive 18.5” center touch screen with an all new cyber themed user interface is a very nice upgrade if you’re used to the smaller 15” touch screens in the Model 3/Y. Other interior features include a 9.4” rear display for backseat passengers, 15 total speakers with dual subwoofers for one of the best vehicle sound systems you’ll probably ever experience, upward folding second row seats, heated and cooled ventilated front seats that are very comfortable despite the same angular themed design as the rest of the car, HEPA filter (bio weapon defense mode), panoramic windshield & glass roof, along with custom cabin lighting that gives some relaxing vibes at night. The bed also has one of my personal favorite features which is an automatic tonneau cover that can be opened and closed with the push of a button on the back of the truck or from the center touch screen or even the Tesla app. This is fun if you are passionate about the truck or spreading EV awareness or just like putting smiles on people’s faces, but if you’re an introvert or just don’t have time to always stop and talk to people it may become a bit of a nuisance after a while. The comfort is one of the best features of this cabin, and I liked the vantage point of sitting up much higher than my Model 3. This is a Tesla at the end of the day and even though this truck is over 6000 pounds, it still has that Tesla quickness we all know and love with a 0-60 speed of 4.1 seconds. Compared to my Model 3 and y I did notice that the Cybertruck motor seems louder, and the regen braking with the all terrain tires definitely was louder when coming to a stop. By day 4 I was finally getting used to the steer by wire maneuvering, and by the time I went back to my Model 3 it felt like a big downgrade when I had to turn the steering wheel way more for a turn than I was doing in the Cybertruck. Since this doesn’t have autopilot I tried to drive with my knee for a few seconds when I needed to grab something, but that is pretty much impossible due to the squircle steering wheel design. Tesla is unfortunately known for their fit and finish issues, and I noticed int his truck there were noticeable bubbles in the white dash material, and a few imperfections such as on the rear floor and there was some plastic stuck in the rubber door sealing.

I had a dream I bought a cyber truck without being able to afford it and couldn’t return it lol .
Nice. Keep it! I will when and if i get one in Europe.
Sounds like a nightmare
You dreamt you stole it 😂
@@cellman1829 Hardly, you can not steal a Tesla. Not even in your dreams.
I can believe stealing a Ford, erasing the VIN and driving it for the next 25 years.
I recently had a dream about getting one too, but it kept getting delayed and I was panicking because I also couldn't afford it.
Glad you had fun in a Cyber Truck!
Love your quote about the cool syndrome! So many people fell in to this includes me!
You thought it was cool?
The more I see the Cybertruck, the more I'm groovin' with the look of this beast 🔥
Dude you are one of the best UA-camrs I’ve seen. Your videos are outstanding, your presentation professional, and your topics are relevant/helpful. I’m a fan.
95% of all truck owners don't tow or haul. Just a quick trip to Costco and Home Depot to get a couple of 2x4. 😂
The more I see these in the wild, the more I like them. I saw a white camo one in Austin over the weekend and loved the look of it.
I reserved a CT the night of the unveiling, configured a Foundation version in December, with a delivery date of January to March. The last day of April I ordered a Model X the same day Tesla called to say my Cybertruck was scheduled for delivery. I love the CT, but there have been too many new production issues along with deliveries to a bunch of celebrities when I was told "as an early reservation holder" I was given the opportunity to buy the foundation CT. Sorry but none of those celebrities were reservation holders...I felt misled and played.
These actually make the Pontiac Aztek look attractive.
Nice review. Helping manage my nees for cyber. Think down the line they'll convert back 1/2 to a full 3 row SUV which will also sell well.
Yes, it is cutting edge alright! Don't forget the first aid kit.
Good job on the video!
Saw my first one in the wild, it’s an absolute beast. I’m not into statement vehicles, but on the other hand it has some interesting tech and aspects.
Kinda wishing I could have given you the Lightning for a little side-by-side comparison
Love the Forest background shoot!
Seen one the other day, still had paper tags. Rubber weather stripping on the bed cover was already hanging off it lol
Looks great!
Your review was excellent. I received my cyberbeast 3 weeks ago and everything I have to say you covered precisely. I even had plastic stuck in the rear floor trim exactly as you showed! With the minor fit and finish issues it's still far and above the best vehicle I have ever driven!
My biggest disappointment is the orange peal texture of the white dash! First thing I saw when I picked it up.
I disagree, Andy...I thought you looked pretty cool driving it! 😎 haha Glad you got to check it out. Someone in my small town in Kansas has one and was nice enough to give me a ride. It was awesome!
I don't believe the glass can resist a baseball traveling at 70mph. I wish someone would test that out in a video. But you hit the nail on the head saying, right now the Cybertruck is a rich person's toy. I'll get mine when the specs are as Elon promised and the price drops drastically. Elon lied to us, just like he when he said the Cybertruck beat a Porsche in the quarter mile, while towing a Porsche.
Oh no! (accountants at Tesla)
Or when he said it'll have exoskeleton, or that it will be Tesla proprietary steel, or that it'll serve briefly as a boat- but don't forget to turn on carwash mode:)
@@UsmevavyPanacek To be fair it is Tesla's Stainless steel. But Elon's lies are getting out of control. He's not focused on Tesla anymore, X is more important to him because that's where he can freely post all his lies. He really should just step down from Tesla, because the only time he pays attention to Tesla anymore is when he's firing people.
People will stop staring/asking questions eventually when the 'newness' passes.
I will wait and buy it later for the tech. I like the 4 wheel steer
Just saw one of these today here in our community and wondered what it was!
If something gets stuck far up in the dash, just stomp on the accelerator and it will magically come back to you.
😂
pretty sure I saw you rolling around town in that thing. XD
I don't know if it was Andy, but I saw my first Cybertruck on Shelbyville Road, May 5 as we were leaving Mission BBQ. It just looked SO different compared to everything else on the road.
Most people I know hate the design of the Cybertruck. But I don't care. I think it's the only truck ever made that I actually really want for the design. But I won't have enough money to buy it for years, so I think I'll wait for a second or third generation down the road when they iron out all the kinks and I can finally afford one.
I'll wait for the model newer cheaper Tesla truck.
Just like Model 3 released years after Model S,
There will be another Tesla truck in the near future that'll be cheaper than Cybertruck
Good review. Thanks. Do you know if it can charge at Electrify America 800 volt chargers and actually utilize 800 volts? Thanks again Andy.
Great review, I wish the speakers on my computer worked better though so I could know what you really said. My cheap computer has cheap speakers and if I wasn't smart, and didn't know better, I could have sworn that you said that the truck that was promised to us all for 40k actually costs 110k. I'll invest in a better computer.
I never liked the design but when you see it in person it's hard not be impressed by it! One major drawback is that you can only tow for about 100 miles with the Cybertruck compared to other ICE trucks that can tow a heavy loads for about 500 miles! So if you plan to haul heavy loads for long distances, I would look elsewhere.
7:51 I was hoping someone as intelligent and experienced with Tesla as you would report this fairly. Tesla could *not* have delivered the CT with AP/FSD. It is not a simple copy/paste from other cars due to different camera placements, steer by wire, and 4 wheel steering. It must be trained on lots of data from a real world fleet of trucks. Getting this fleet on the roads and doing the training takes time.
It needs a bad A wrap👍👍
Watch the Sandy Monroe tear down. You’ll realize it’s the most advanced vehicle in production
It looks like a Subzero refrigerator in and out.
Anthony wants a Cyborg truck
The paradox was a good final word. I also think it's true.
i disagree. of course i think that you should never drive a car because of what you think other people will think, but i do not actually think that paradox concept they're talking about is true. whether positive OR negative, people absolutely form assumptions about people based on what they're driving.
The only fridge that’s not cool.
the cost is no different than a Navigator Black label, or Reserve. The long term any Tesal S3XY , CT , Semi, Roaster .. SAVE money
The Car design looks not good, but features are top notch
Just wish the AWD wasnt over 60K
Just got email from Tesla that I finally can order cyber truck and it will be delivered in august. Now I’m really concerned buying it …..
imagine how many cats u can have in the cyber truck
Rear wheel steering is the reason for no auto pilot… end of June according to EM
Considering it costs around $100,000 it doesn't seem to have much in terms of luxury fittings. The cab interior is very sparse and basic. Who on Earth buys these vehicles? The designer was given a pencil and a str8 edge and told 'NO CURVES'. They thing is a monstrosity. As as for choosing an ev - the whole concept is ill thought out and more trouble than it is worth. How can spending 30+ minutes charging (+finding/downloading the app), waiting if there is a queue, or the charger isn't working, compare with filling up with petrol/diesel in less than 5 minutes??
Please educate yourself on EVs and try again. 99.9% charge overnight in their garage and have 300mi+ every day of range. No gas pump in your garage? You loose.
It's a truck. It's not good, bad or ugly. It can haul like a truck and tow like a truck. If you have the money to spend to be a 1st adopter, then more power to you. If you want one, just wait a few years. Just like the Model 3 and Y, which is very affordable now, this truck will be on par with other trucks just like the F150 loaded up. As more time passes the product will be more common and come down in price. The only reason the Model 3 and Y went up so much was due to lack of production and then supply chain shortages. Had those events not happened the price would have been more stable.
It's useless at towing and hauling...do your research. It's a posers machine
I have to say, after driving mine for a week, the best thing is the 'smiles' from 3 year olds to 85+year olds. I wish a grad student would do a study as to why some people never see it, others see it and are interested and react (like a photograph)and still others must go to it and ask questions and/or touch it...? Those that seem to be most interested...and that is all ages and nationalities and female and male...they seem excited, elated and happy? ...And after waiting 4.5 years and keeping it a secret for the entire time...I'm happy to share it.
You don’t need a study……..it’s simple. Humans are easily impressed. It doesn’t take much.
Two words: Novelty item.
how can you can it might be good for people who need a good utilitarian truck if you literally have only tested it as a car? you didn't do a single truck thing with it
Lol! So lame. Makes the PT Cruiser look like a classic piece of art😅
Minimum turning radius, not maximum
😍
Nothing ugly. It’s the best car.
Real 🔥 Cybertruck is top notch
It’s a cool vehicle, but calling it the best car is only your opinion. There are cars I would prefer over it.
@@powerfulcornelius3285 Top notch doesn't mean best
@@444thunderstr0ke Who said anything about top notch? The original comment said it’s the best car.
I am definitely in a waiting line to get one. I am looking for a diffrent interior.
Me too, but I'm waiting for the original specs and price Elon promised.
@@Resist4 The price wont work. Inflation matters.
@@NRV44 We can pretend that inflation went up so much to justify a $31,000 price increase. Sure we can.
@Resist4 The price of the single motor is 60k. 20k up from 40k, or a 30% increase, which is in line with inflation.
The dual motor is 10k more than what is 'should' be in respect to inflation. I guess they know they can charge more because of limited availability and huge demand + the EV tax credit. This is why you have people even paying 20k more for foundation series. By they time late pre-orders even catch up to supply, inflation will have risen another 10% in 2 years provided interest rates remain sticky or are lowered.
@@rayr6278 The problem is for those inflated prices you don't get the 500+ miles of range Elon promised. And it doesn't even have a dedicated place to put a spare tire, without having to take up bed space. Every truck needs to carry a spare. In my opinion so should every car. Who wants to be on the side of the road with a flat tire waiting (maybe hours), for Mobile Service or AAA, on a rainy night, if you can even get a cell signal?! Fix a flat and tire plugs can only do so much, nor would I want to mess with that if I were wearing nice clothes. Plus it's so much faster to replace a tire than plug it, if it can be plugged.
But bro I think you’re cool. The car just so happens to be cooler. 😅
i would still prefer petrol engines they are more fun to drive.
Love your channel, Andy. But you don't do yourself any favors by being sponsored by Recurrent. Between their article a few months ago maintaining that Supercharging does not affect EV battery longevity, and their recent article where they conflate efficiency and degradation... any credibility they may have once had is laughable.
I disagree with the cool car paradox. Of course, it's foolish to drive a car based on what others will think, that we can all agree on. But, whether for better or worse, people definitely form assumptions about other people based on what they drive, for positive or negative. I've made several years-long friendships just from people starting a conversation with me in a parking lot because of my car (not a tesla), and these people were not even car owners of the same brand. People make assumptions about the type of person you are based on what you drive. I'm not saying that those assumptions are accurate or that it's okay that we do it, but we do it.
Looks like a tin lunch box.................
My wife is chinese doctor she said after looking at the trunk, it looked like a vehicle in China which transports dead bodies.. interesting
Do you work for tesla? 🤔
the irony that current Tesla SCs don't output 350kW but EA chargers do
V4 are capable but it's not turned on yet
They will all be called back and the corners smoothed over.
Cybertruck is dangerous for unprotected carrots.
Imagine what they do with french cornichons! Messy.
That quote is a terrible one lol
Yikes
interesting truck but still loving my F150 Lightning after almost 2 years and 30k miles. 😊
Definitely not for me.
Let’s roll!!!
⚡⚡⚡🧙🏻♂
They were recalled and actually very plain and just ugly.😅
Yeah this is nice, I like it as a rich person's car. There also should be a gas powered regular person's car too though. Tesla should look into that with all of their models.😕🙂🤓🤠😎😏👍✌️👋👏💪🌾🍀🌿🍃🇺🇸
“I’ve never owned a truck”. That’s where I stopped the video.
Good, bad and ugly as in, good grief, how bad and ugly.
Cybertruck owners are haulin'.... haulin' ass.
Real truck it’s not a cyber truck
Too late for a C-T review ⁉️ to many reviews already done ... Sorry
Prop from a cheap sci-fi movie.
Stop calling it ugly
Fine. It's lame.
Ugly
Cyber Junk more like it.
A man childs idea of cool
It doesn’t matter how many times I see this thing, it never stops surprising me with its ugliness. it looks like it was designed by a 10 year old in the 1970s,, ,
I saw a cyber truck for the first time yesterday 5/16/24 and I gotta say…I don’t get it. It just looks so out of the ordinary that it doesn’t make sense. There is a reason for a truck…no, I don’t mean the trophy truck reason that so many people buy trucks for. They are actually supposed to serve a purpose. But this thing will never serve as a work horse.
And that is fine…there will always be those types who do what they do to get attention, and this is the real reason for the cyber truck…isn’t it?
Takes all kinds to make a world and so, this thing will likely have a big following. But to consider this a truck is really stretching it.
So what type of work CT can’t do? Tesla team is receptive to constructive criticism, so I am sure they will take these feedback and improve in next generation.
Well…I’ve been in construction for a lot of my work life…carrying lumber, tools and supplies. Rack systems are essential for a truck to have a purpose. Carrying 2x12’s to a job site or stacks of sheathing is necessary work for a truck…that’s just a start.
It's all bad.
You just have too much money.
Jealous?
I does stand out like a tin box. I don't like the style. It is really ugly.
Ugliest truck ever 🤮
DA UGLIEST TRUCK EVER MADE.
broken promises:
- no autopilot
- no 500 miles range
- not bulletproof
- not rust proof
- not $38000
- not useful in heavy terrain
- compromised design, different wheels
- not allowed in most parts of the world
- years of waiting time
- flimsy and flawed, most have been recalled already
Haha.
Autopilot coming.
not having a 500 miles range is a disappointment and about your only real complaint.
It is bulletproof for small caliber handguns. Tanks are bulletproof if you get a large enough caliber.
It is rustproof and that shows how little you know about it. The rust on a cybertruck is industrial rust. Either Iron particles from the brakes or iron particles from shipping. All cars experience this.
It is very useful in heavy terrain as shown by Top Gear and others. Here is a link to what it can do: ua-cam.com/video/WSgNA-pWM8w/v-deo.html&ab_channel=TopGear
All designs are a compromise how is this one any different
Who cares where it is allowed as there are over a million orders in the states that will take a couple years to get through before it needs to go anywhere.
It sucks that it took longer than expected but something did happen if I remember correctly between the announcement and now.
Inflation sucks as we voted for the wrong guy and now we get to pay more than $38k
How is it flimsy as it has some of the highest rigidity of any truck out there. How is it flawed you are just pulling your bias out of your ass. The recall was for a rivet in the accelerator and not one like the Ford F150 had for their axles breaking.
@@Aircam73Stockholm syndrome much?
@@Aircam73only the Cyberbeast had the 500mi range. The AWD was promised at 300+ and they delivered
@@OnTheSnap1 Still disappointed on not having anything close to 500 miles. Even a solid 410 would have been ok but they missed it by quite a lot with the cyberbeast.
A rich persons toy... totally agree... this thing is only good for shopping groceries... for truck stuff not so much. Worst range of all EV trucks... and no door handles!!! nice to stick your fingers in between the car and door.... what could possibly happen? LMAO And to all tesla culties... please stick your balls in the frunk and watch what happens... no closing senors in the doors to protect against harm. That is 90s tech.
Yup can't do anything a normal truck can do and it certainly can't rock climb, trail climb, or sand dune. Oh wait: ua-cam.com/video/WSgNA-pWM8w/v-deo.html&ab_channel=TopGear
Thank God, all you will to do people are paying outrageous money for this truck to get the quirks all worked out before we get the working models, for $30,000 less
copycat of DMCtotally worth $20000not a penny more
