The Tesla Cybertruck is perhaps the most hyped vehicle of the last 12 months. Looking like nothing else on the road, the truck promises "Truck 2.0" meaning a new evolution of what a pickup truck can be. But in reality, it disappoints on almost every level, mostly because everything about it is in service to a shape and design that doesn't work in reality. Here are a bunch of reasons why driving one didn't change my mind that it's deeply stupid.
Out of Spec Motoring provided the vehicle for this review.

The beeping at 18:28 was probably the truck letting you know that you had exceeded its daily allowable limit of verbal criticism lmao
Elon is probably listening and bookmarked the time and location. He probably doesn't want to sell this data to anyone as it doesn't look good.
I wouldn't put it past the cybertruck team to put something like that in there. 😂😂
@derlar777 lmaoo
This is great
hah
America has no pedestrian impact standards?! Bring back pop up headlights!
Hear this man, people!
Only on Evs. Everything is legal there
@@barangoran4179 Really? Why would it matter if I get hit by an electricity powered vehicle or a gas powered one?
@@wheezzl it obviously doesnt matter, but it appeals to the customer that everything is legal.
As a Brit, I assume America doesn't have them because the concept of a pedestrian is alien to them. Everyone (it appears) drives everywhere.
It's kind of wild that America gives us the FREEDOM to buy a steel monster truck with NO safety precautions for people outside of it, but we can't buy a Japanese Kei truck unless we import one that's 25 years old or orlder.
Because they want you to buy american products.
and forget about buying a Kinder Surprise egg. But the Cybertruck? No prob.
And now states are outlawing registrations on kei trucks bc they are being deemed "unsafe". Oh, the irony
@@ryanmccloskey4292 Its an americsn product and its an EV. Not surprised its legal
It’s not like it’s safe on the inside either. Have you seen the “safety straps” that they placed inside the car if the battery dies and you’re completely locked on the inside?
No indicators on the vehicle, no on site paper manual explaining that, no. Its also hidden by a sleek panel into the car plastic frame, which you have to find, and if you’re in the trunk, in the pitch black, that you have to pry out with your fingernails (rest in peace to those who have short nails) and then you have to stick your hand in a tiny crevice and rummage to find a simple cloth strap. The strap doesn’t glow in the dark, no reflective material, you have to find it by your hand, not by sight IF you can fit your hand in there, because the space is TINY!
And guess what? With the window being bulletproof, any stuck passenger can wait hours inside, which can be burning hot, while paramedics and first responders might have to wait on specialized tools to penetrate a bulletproof window.
Even inside, you are absolutely in danger if the battery dies and you can’t do any of the steps I prefaced earlier. Big fat WTF moment.
EU automotive engineer here, we have (by law) child safety, in this form, the cyber truck can't be sold in the EU.
You forgot that the EU has safety laws for ALL categories of vehicles.
The US has such laws only for some types, because other types clearly never get into any accidents (aka lobbying) /s
Most EU people recognize ugly when they see it and won’t buy such a monstrosity
Nobody cares about the EU.
considering how terrible made, engineered and marketed european car brands are nowadays, whatever you say has no weight.
btw are your engineering goals "make it as expensive to maintain and repair as humanly possible"
when i buy a european brand, is using the steering wheel free or do i have to pay a subscription like for headlights, or heated seats, or traffic info for the navigation, or to be able to start my heater from afar via app?
"The word 'cyber' hasn't been cool since it followed by 'sex' in the '90s"
😂😂😂😂😂😂
Omfg, a man of history
Meh. I've been told the Cybersecurity industry is still alive and well.
I was in high school in the 90's and wouldn't have been caught dead uttering the word "Cyber" followed by "Sex".
Yea back when the letter X was cool ... Elon's a little slow on the draw
@@TNGMug If someone was having cybersex in the 90's they were loosers or video gamers, 90's was raves and molly.
@@ComsiCaterpillar it was the name for molly, he's slow socially, you can't buy cool. He's a billionaire fool.
Being a “screen solution” company I’m shocked the rear view mirror doesn’t switch to a screen for the rear camera when the cover blocks the window.
being regarded or self regarded as a bleeding edge tech company why not put the rear view mirror as a hud or AR overlay on the windshield... they got the room for it
@@GoofieNewfieCost. You know if you buy this thing now, you are paying a premium (financing a part the R&D that went into it) That is why you don't get 'value for money'. Look what they did to the Model S. It's $40K cheaper than at launch and they still make overall margin of 18.25% gross margin in Q2.
That'd make them a screens solutions company. Screen solution means strictly one screen per vehicle. Ditto for HUD.
They need to invest in state of the art machine vision AI in order to detect the cover is closed. What do you mean use a switch?
Because Elon wants everything done through the main screen including that ultra tiny rear view
As a former sheetmetal engineer, I had my doubts about the cybertruck, but the close ups of the front and rear only made it worse....
As an automotive engineer, I am still baffled that they sell the stupid decision, to make the outer shell so flat that they had to make it so thick to avoid buckling, as a marvellous feature.
It looks like Elon drew a car using a ruler and a pencil when he was 13 years old and now that he has money he wants his childhood fantasy come true.
And he’s got it. And his worshippers who have sufficient money will buy it.
@markiangooley and if anyone else would try to do what elon did the panel gaps will be 4 inches off around the whole truck!
16:39 It's an apocalypse-class vehicle, if your idea of the apocalypse is navigating the mall parking lot on Black Friday.
I love how he just glosses over the fact that gas and diesel will go bad in a few months and the entire reserve in a year, and also many people have off grid solar/hydro farms, how many people do you know that have their own oil driller, refinery + materials used which includes cobalt, and then a air sealed storage tank to slow down the vaporization process
@@wow-sham1300gas, and especially diesel will last a lot longer than "months"
The lead acid batteries will go bad before the fuel supply spoils.
I think in an apocalypse situation, you'd be better off with a horse or a bicycle.
Nobody will drive an electric car during an apocalypse.
If there is one thing the Apocalypse is known for…. its the charging stations.
Petition for a Matt's cooking video where he can only use the cybertruck to prepare the dish 🤣
Omg this would be hilarious
We need to make this happen
The cyber truck does look like it could be a kitchen appliance. its made out of the same material
Ooh yes, A giant Stainless stel counter top. Food seared in the flame of a Lithium battery on fire :). Yum
I feel like the Cyber truck is to the vehicle market by the rabbit. R1 is to the tech device narket. Very cryptocurrency scam energy.
hoovies garage bought one and he's not happy with it, the windshield wiper washer fluid when spraying the windshield leaks the blue washer fluid into the front trunk and leaves a blue color all over inside the trunk plus it leaks onto electrical components under the front hood/trunk. so when it rains it must slso leak in the sam are as well?
'At this point, I think I know more about manufacturing than anyone currently alive on earth', yes Elon, of course you do
No, no, he does. Most importantly, he knows that people that would buy a Tesla, don't need him to build them well. Or to even include the 'features' they pay for. That IS a manufacturing genius.
And, of course, how to be the richest man in the world. Sell people a piece of junk for an outrageously high price, and have them happy ... no, ecstatic ... about it. THAT is true genius.
"This rubber that's forcing itself out like a tumor" is hilarious
No, it is like a hernia
@@dukenukem5768 You're like a hernia
What you want in the apocalypse is
Running on plant matter,
Full self driving
Full self defending
And something you can eat when it stops working
You want a horse.
And something you can sacrifice for the zombies to eat while you run like hell. Definitely agree!
Make it a self-driving horse with a tow hitch and you've got yourself a deal!!
LOL! Wait, a horse is so much better of an apocalypse transport than a cybertruck.
@@tomwallen7271 I would say Cybertruck is the worst possible option for apocalypse.
Horse is an excellent idea. An enduro bike with a small engine (maybe 250ccm) is also perfect. You don't want to be stuck in a traffic jam or be dependent on roads. In such a crisis scenario the best option is to stay at home. The second best option is to have a group of friends.
All 4x4s and pick-ups would fit, but those are gas hogs. Only Suzuki makes light 4x4s.
@@HanSolo__ even still, gas and diesel will go bad after a few months, so the best option would probably be a Sur-ron-esk bike and a couple of portable solar panels
You sold me at 10:20 I don't have to buy razor blades now! I can shave my face on the way in the truck.
Don't say it loud, pedestrians may try as well when you park in the town, your truck would get filthy in no time. 😀
And they will sue you when they cut themselves with your sheet metal.
9:55 Little did he know, that by using a cucumber on his Cybertruck, he voided the warranty and did irreparable damage to the electrical system.
I would have never thought that they'd start growing cucumbers with electrical system, let alone warranty it....yet, here we are.
I like that you added the bit about you not being required to like what we like. A lot of people need to hear this from personalities/celebrities... far too many people wrap their identity up in what other people think.
I agree, this was a great way to start the video and to set expectations. Although of course some people will just ignore that 🙄
I’m not gonna make fun of you
To your face
@@martyfromdvag 😂 yeah that was good.
Preach to the choir man. It’s crazy how many people can’t form their own opinions and realize it doesn’t matter what other people think. If you’re not internally happy, this life can get very difficult
A lot of irony in that a substantial number of Cybertruck owners/lovers *really* wrap their identity in Elon Musk lol
You summed it all up. Cyber truck: “it’s a meme”
That was the most perfect description of this piece of garbage.
Your mom told me to tell you to come home. You missed garbage day.
@@tripzero0 no amount of elementary school level insults will change the fact that the Cyberurinal is the worst vehicle ever made. I think it's time you leave your house now, you're getting late for your swinger party.
Elon is a silly.
I saw Silly's triangle truck.
(Okay, technically it's a scalene triangle on top of a rectangle, not _actually_ "isosceles", but it _was_ an isosceles triangle when Jason Fenske drew it on his whiteboard the first time. Therefore, I stand by my pun.)
@@tripzero0 You and your excuses are quite sad. Being an apologist for a billion dollar company and its inferior products is a very sad sight to behold.
I could see a revamp of breaking bad years from now where Mr. White's main mode of transportation is a clapped out c-truck that only goes half the distance at half the speed because the battery is smoked.
Imagine if any other manufacturer produced this this knife edge unfinished product.
This was more civil than I expected
That’s what happens when publicly disliking a vehicle could get you sued by the lunatic company that crazy glued the POS together.
I know! My description of this “truck” is a horrendous POS.
Trying not to trigger fanboys
I agree he said so many good things about the Cybertruck and the gripes at the beginning are completely valid
It’s called being an objective journalist. Most people these days can’t handle any criticism.
This has always struck me as a truck designed by people who don't drive trucks.
Like Elon drew this on a napkin and forced the engineers to build it exactly like that.
Love it or hate it, it’s a different design and it’s futuristic.
@@fiasco11 Actually, I drew much the same thing on construction paper when I was 6 years old.
@user-ln7of9gs4s Like a 1980s sci-fi movie is futuristic.
people who drive trucks care about panel gaps?
"I'm not going to make fun of you... to your face." 🤣🤣🤣🤣
The fact that Tesla cultists are ok with Tesla delivering a foundation series without the features that were promised makes them look like fools.
Its a cult, they would pay to sniff Elons farts.
I'd never pay for something that wasn't already on the vehicle. I thought that was illegal to make people pay for something and not deliver the goods they paid for. Feels kind of like bait and switch which is illegal.
Relax, it's coming out at the end of june
@@MurkedStat Is that what Elon said? Didn't he also say the Cyber Truck would come out in 2022 and be priced at $39,999? Got to love Elon time 😁
That hood gap is crazy
Its prime example how US car industry is going down to th toilet in terms of quality and the capitalistic appetite to ask more for nothing.
Who caqres? Gos to 60 mph in just 2.9 seconds, faster than some hypercars, but in a TRUCK.

What? Impossible!

@@Vantablack_speed TeslaSimp detected.
Another issue in Europe is the weight. The B driving license (for cars) has a limit of 3 500 kg for gross weight, anything above it is considered a truck or bus (if it has more than 8+1 places), which means another license on top of B, often higher tolls, and also being able to prove you don't drive for commercial purpose - or having commercial driver's licence and tachograph recording to prove you're keeping with the rest time regulations. Those are no joke, people are getting stopped and checked with their trucks and fines are huge.
Cybertruck weighs 3 000 kg (the Cyberbeast version even over 3 100), that means if you want to avoid the above, the carrying capacity needs to be less than 500 kg. For comparison, Ford Fiesta has 510, Škoda Fabia 530. Who would buy such a big and expensive car that cannot even carry as much as a microcar?
"Tesla cultists"🤣🤣🤣 Gotta remember that one...
Years in the making and still looking like a grade school project 😂
Or a hotel ice maker on wheels.
I sat on one yesterday at a car show. I inspected the panels…and the finish and fit of them was weird, if not sloppy. It looks very strange, very unpolished.
I would have no issues with this if the truck was $40k (which obviously can’t be priced at because of all the tech) but the build quality of it, feels (and upon closer inspection) looks cheap.
Very strange, not a truck I would want to live with. Sometimes I look at certain newer RAM and Ford trucks and I say to myself “that’s a beautiful truck”. The opposite is true for this Tesla.
I thought the same thing, looks like either a high school science fair project or someone made it in their garage.
Looks like a design study from 1961
Looks like it should say NCC-1701D on the side.
Don’t show the cucumber part to the Tesla cultists, they’ll think it’s a feature
I can peel a cucumber on almost anything with an edge. Peeling soft fruits actually doesn't demonstrate much.
Did he seriously compare a carrot to a human finger? 😂

@@tripzero0 children tend to leave their hands in the doors and trunk, and this will slice their bones like nothing, a child bones aren't that strong. So yes not recommended for someone with small bones.
I simply cannot wait till a video of musk saying the whole thing was a massive joke, but they still sold, comes out
Muskycodone is a hell of a drug.
Build quality critiques & the lack of, or undelivered features, are totally valid. You and so many others talk about 'Who needs a fast truck' or 'whats the point of fast acceleration'? Like its worthless. I can't speak for others, but I will say, 90% of the time I'm not hauling anything substantial, and I'm only actually towing something even less of the time than that. But a truck is a daily driver so I have ALL the capabilities for when I do need them. So having fast, punchy acclerated vehicle thats FUN & ENJOYABLE to drive the other majority of the time I'm in it, its of high value. People are simpling kidding themselves if they don't see that.
Living in Texas, the largest truck market in the US. I have yet seen one on the road. That pretty much sums up how successful this truck is.
and these pieces of shit are MADE in texas!
I live in San Antonio and I saw 1 here. It's parked at an apartment complex close to my house, and I don't think it's ever been moved.
There's only about 4000 that have been made at this point so that's likely why most folks haven't seen one in the wild. It's insane that Elon thinks he's sooooo good at manufacturing yet this rolling refrigerator is taking forever to be made and the quality so far is pretty abysmal. I'm really curious to see how this affects Tesla stock in the long run.
For a very funny contrast, I live near Lake Oswego, Oregon, which is a rich suburb full of lawyers and doctors, with an average annual household income pushing $200,000/year, and I've seen three of the fucking things already.
That should tell you all you need to know about Cybertruck.
I saw two. South jersey.
This thing looks and feels like a prototype that somehow made it's way into production without any of the necessary modifications to make it "production ready".
Yep
It could not possibly have been said more accurately than this 👆🏻
Damm, they had years to iron some of this out. John DeLorean apparently did better with his car.
Musk and Tesla, masters of faking it until they made it.

How do the batteries charge at extremely low and high temperatures?
If it's 100° outside, how long do you have to wait for the batteries to cool down enough to take a charge?
They actually prefer to charge at 105 degrees.
There is zero issues charging in extreme hot or cold. Multiple tests have been done to demonstrate this. Every Tesla has no problem with extreme heat or cold
Matt must be so mad that this type of video with a Tesla gets so much more views than others.

I always assumed that Elon designed it, with a ruler. Then they were stuck making it into a vehicle. It has to be the ugliest and most useless truck I have seen. Even the Camino and Rancheros were better trucks. Heck even the Brat (oh wait, not Elon...)
the car looks like it is not rendered yet.
Couldn’t be more agree with someone on anything than this video😂😂
Well done 👏🏻 a review that tells it how it is. I agree with everything you say…. Honestly I do! But…. It does so cool features. Yes, the panel gaps, this is the nature of the stainless steel used, but can be improved no doubt. FSD and autopilot will come…. Eventually. Brakes…90% of the time regen is fine….. agree with everything you said. Would I buy one….. yes! It’s the modern day version of the delorean…. Absolutely bonkers but absolutely brilliant in the same breath!

Great review! Love this channel
Scary to think the DeLorean built by scrubs in N.Ireland has better panel fitment than this $100,000 truck. The DeLorean wasn't even a well built vehicle and it's still better than this contraption.
Just because they're both made out of stainless steel doesn't mean that they are even remotely similar. Tesla uses a cold rolled, much thicker gauge stainless steel which is harder than any other panels ever used. By far.

Matt's last point about the novelty wearing off quickly is enormous. It reminds you of the Hummer H2. When it was released, all the new rich people wanted to be seen in one. The problem is that the novelty unraveled very quickly, and it has been over 10 years that no self-respecting person would like to be seen in one of these. I am trying to project how we will see that thing in 5 years...
Not entirely accurate. Once the novelty wore off, the H2 was still a great SUV that was very capable off-road, decently comfortable on it, and reliable. Especially the updated '08 and '09 models which are still expensive today. The Cybertruck doesn't have anything going for it besides novelty.
so basically the cybertruck is like wheel spinners?
All those old Hummers are rolling around in the 'hood in my area...
@@jordanbell4420 thats what makes it different. The Hummer is a proper military offroad vehicle, the CT sucks offroading and is pretty gay in general.
@@jordanbell4420ya came here to say this. The h2 was actually pretty reliable, cheap to run, and they’re still around and kicking. I saw a clean one in Florida last month and it kinda made me happy. They had a lot of hype (too much hype) when released but they ended up being a pretty good GM GMT-800 platform truck. They had one in entourage for a few seasons lol.

@@Pratik4311 you dump $100K for that truck just to save gas? What calculator are you using? Muskulator? LOL!
@@Pratik4311 I'm a big fan of electric cars but in my country you can buy a decent used truck for the equivalent of US$10k which leaves $90k for fuel, which at mid-2024 prices would get you 550,000 miles of fuel here given the average truck MPG. So roughly speaking, the Cybertruck will start to save you money on gas after you've driven 500,000 miles in it. Until you drive it that far, it's not saving you any money on fuel. (This would obviously be less if you were comparing it to a brand new ICE truck, but if saving money is your goal you wouldn't ever be buying new to begin with. It also assumes you are charging it for free 100% of the time.)
@@Pratik4311 You "save a ton on gas" but spent way too much for a sub-par vehicle.. you ended up with a financial loss. I'm not sure that's anything to be proud of lol. There is no saving money with this vehicle. You bought it to be nerd-cool and that's about it.

Why do you need Pedestrian Safety Standards when a Car in AutoPilot is More than Likely going to Hit a Pedestrian (or CRASH/MALFUNCTION etc).
Great video and loving the teal watch btw...what is it?
What you really want for a post apocalypse is a steam car. You can heat a boiler with just about anything that burns, you don't need a ton of infrastructure to fuel it, and configured correctly it could even provide drinking water.
Not good for a quick getaway, though - it would take ages to get steam pressure up!
What you want for post apocalypse is a large large stash of work and hiking boots of many sizes, solid one speed bicycles and bicycle parts. These will need to be guarded and hidden and they can be traded for other necessities as needed. But the question is: Why prepare for post apocalypse? Be vested in the real world and not in a bunch of loosers betting on the post apocalypse.
A diesel vehicle wouldn't be a bad choice since it can run, maybe not all that well but at least move, on a wide range of liquid fuels, even something like cooking oil in a pinch. But in the end it really depends on what your imagined post-apocalyptic world is like. If you're imagining a governmental collapse but most infrastructure remaining intact, then cars might still be practical even if you have to run on non standard fuels or electricity. If it's a bit more disastrous than that, then you're probably looking at something more basic like walking, mountain biking or horse riding. In the latter case your world is probably going to shrink, a lot.
@@Croz89 I'm pretty sure using things other than diesel will gunk up and ruin your engine in a short time

Literally the only cybertruck video I’ve been waiting for. Nobody but Matt and Zack will roast this truck in a way like it absolutely deserves.
Ya it’s weird. I’ve been looking for anything negative about the cybertruck on the internet and can’t find it.
@@danielmarquis434 because people don’t care that it’s objectively awful
@@PigglyWigglyDeluxe that was supposed to be a joke. You’re delusional. It’s the most hated vehicle on the planet
Hovie didn't hold back and destroyed it verbally
Weird, I've heard all of his criticisms on every single video about the cybertruck.
It’s like a truck a thirteen year old would put together with random pieces in his dad’s garage
It says a lot about the users/fanbase that Matt needed a disclaimer.
You could make a cucumber and carrot salad in the apocalypse.
Fill the back with dirt, grow your veggies, slice & dice them. It's a rolling Veg O'Matic. 🙂
A big problem with the Cyber"Truck" is it's not even a truck. As Matt said it's a fashion statement it's for people who want attention.
that can also be said about almost every other truck being sold today, I forget who it was but a survey was done and only like 10%-15% of truck owners actually did truck things (towing, hauling, off road use)
That depends on what you need and expect from a truck. It would solve my brother's needs and he put a deposit on one early on, but he got tired of waiting and bought a Rivian R1T.
@@wow-sham1300 But almost every other truck being sold today has multiple models that can and do perform "truck things" day in and day out for many years and don't cost 100K. Tesla offers zero models like that.
Yeah that's exactly why people are buying them. Problem is once it's deliveries get up to speed with other models, there'll be one around every corner. Especially at that low base model price point.
@@slabriprock5329 this! I will agree most trucks have been basically turned into luxury vehicles. But you can still do "truck" stuff with them wether people do or not is a different argument. The cyber truck looks like they just took a model x and put panels around it.
I was a fan of the design when it launched. I was under the (perhaps naive) impression that the design must have been driven by an engineering process. We always hear about Elon's companies being driven by "first principles" and hardcore engineering know-how. The price was amazing. The range was amazing. The "exoskeleton" concept was amazing. Here was an engineering marvel in the form of a work of art being sold at a price that couldn't be beat! And just imagine... if THIS was the first electric truck on your block, ,that might get some conversations going about electric trucks.
And then. Sigh. The first hint that all of it was a lie was the windsheild wiper reveal. If the design had been driven by engineering, then surely that would have included them solving the wiper problem. The over-sized, over-priced wiper just sort of tacked on as an afterhtought proved that this wasn't even remotely first principles... more like last principles. Instead of form follows function, we have function compromised by form. Then we find out it will cost twice what it was supposed to. Then we find out it only gets a fraction of the range it was supposed to. Then we find out the towing rating is lower. Then we find out that the exoskeleton thing was complete rubbish and it's basically a traditional body-on-frame design with a very heavy body on that frame. And we find out that despite being praised as a cheaper, faster alternative to stamping, Tesla actually found it very difficult and expensive to impliment manufacturing of the body. And then we see the interior and instead of minimalist, futuristic, sleek but still ergonomic... it just looks cheap and crappy and not really well thought-out at all. And worst of all... instead of being the first electric truck on the block... it's the last. Companies who announced their trucks after the Cybertruck reveal still beat them to market.
There are a few interesting things happening with the Cybertruck in terms of innovative manufacturing, but like you said, none of them are consequential to the form factor. It misses basically every mark Elon set for it... even in the looks department because that wiper is hideous and dumb. They couldn't even do that right. Baffling.
In the case of the SHTF you have an easy way to prepare cucumber salat with carrot slices.
Don't tell me this is not worth north of $100.000
The driving force behind the lunacy of this vehicle comes from the mind of a man who has never in his life done anything that required the utility of a real truck.
Man. Well said. A silver spoon indeed turns into a silver "truck".
I'm sure Elon has had to haul some 2 legged 'garden tools'
I’m sure it had nothing to do with the millions of tons a scrap stainless steel that he found himself owner of, after it was determined it didn’t pass aerospace grade. Couldn’t be. He took junk and sold it to his fanboys for 100k. The world has gone mad.
Believe it or not, his semi design is even dumber. Center seating, no front door, sloped windshield. It's like they never talked to an actual trucker.
Give me back my 1970-era Chevy Suburban with the overbored rebuilt engine. Drove that thing all over the western states, pulled boats, packed to exploding for my 6 person family.

Lewis Black comments on actual road or off road worthiness of CT may be good for a laugh but those keeping up with its true capabilities on and off road know the truth - very impressive capabilities in most metrics.

EVs are a menace on controlled descents.
Its a great vehicle for towing a small trailer around town, just so long as you don't go far, and you've got to lose the trailer to refuel, what a pain in the ***.
@@elliotkane4443 Disagree. The latest off road reviews of the CT with Tesla's software updates .updates show the CT to be quite capable and fun off road. It is also the lightest EV truck only roughly 400 lbs difference from a Ford Raptor R with better/lower center of gravity.
ITS BETTER THAN THE FORD LIGHTNING .....THEY NEVER SHOW THE LIGHTNING OFFROAD BECAUSE ITS SUCKS
It off-roads just fine, stock. No, it can't do what a 4 runner with 15k in aftermarket parts can. Sigh.

@@hendrikpoel6404 crazy elon glazing, take care you don't choke on it
what , Injury ?
People are surprisingly clumsy and I feel like the owners of these vehicles wouldn’t mind getting money they didn’t earn. In other words “ow I got my finger caught in my hood and now I’m disabled.” Or “Ouch I cut my head on this corner and now I’m permanently disfigured.” Not to mention all of the “pain and suffering,” from everyone making fun of their glorified fashion accessory.
One potential I see is that the body is not made to crumple and dissipate impact energy. I can foresee greater collision injury than is typical to the passenger and other vehicle or pedestrian.

Yes the government probably forgot all of the pedestrian safety protocols they've mandated throughout the years. Or maybe Elon paid/bribed the right authorities to allow for production
Absolutely crazy and makes sense why it is not coming to Europe. I don't think there would be much demand for it here, especially in the UK with our narrow roads!
it looks cool but anyone who thinks this should be a car, belongs on mars
This is such a terrific review! Thank you for that.
The fact they tried to change regulations says it all:
With regards to the wing mirrors, Franz von Holzhausen had this to say on December 2023: “We didn't want mirrors. So in the beginning we weren't even designing mirrors, but we couldn't get the regulations changed. We would love to get rid of the mirrors.”
New prototypes do not have mirrors. They are becoming usless since camera vision with 8 cameras working all the time are better than the view of 2 eyes on a small mirror.
My Honda e uses cameras for wing and rear view morrors
@@FasterLower The Honda E was never sold in the USA.
Looking at it's size, Honda was probably never even considering selling it in the US.
Other countries do allow cameras for rear-view mirrors.
@@EnriqueThiele That's not true at all. Cameras are incredibly small and far more easily blocked off. But the bigger issue is that you don't get depth from a camera image. When you look at a mirror you aren't looking at a flat image like on a display, you're getting full 3D depth and still focusing in the distance.
It might also increase eye strain refocusing your eyes on something close like a display and back to far away for your forwards view.
@@Skylancer727Mirrors are inherently inaccurate though since everything appears further than in reality

After the apocalypse, it's going to be tough to find even diesel let alone working charging stations.
You're going to want a bicycle to get around, and a secret stash of replacement tires and chain lube. Or a horse.

A question - can it be fixed? How hard for Tesla to make an economical version? I've had one on order for many years, still have not seen one. The software and supply chain (light bar) will eventually catch up. I would image the quality will also eventually catch up. The truck goes fast, okay so what, don't drive fast.
