You lost me when you got excited about the cup holders being polygonal.
Elon Musk had a hard time time with fitting the right shape of blocks into the right holes as a kid. Give him a break.
hexagon, you keep using that word... I don't think it means what you think it means
I think he needs to Google it. I laughed when he pointed at a triangle and called it a hexagon 😂
Right? Saw lots of rhombuses, not a single hexagon anywhere.
I’m guessing he meant polygons. But, oh well.
Inconceivable
He probably went to the same English class that says you can have various grades of uniqueness.
I expect better than this advert for the CT from a fully charged review tbh. Genuinely interesting things missed (electrical architecture, energy density, fsd vision) in favour of fanboy stroking the 'hexagons'. Meh.
Cybertruck now producing more than 1000 per day and on its way to OUTSELLING the Rivian, Lightning, Silverado EV , GMC EV and RAM EV.
Muuuuuuuuh. Go to bed.
FC China and N America really not the same quality. Zero humour and as you say, feels more like an advert. Bear in mind that this vehicle has been fully recalled due to poor workmanship and quality control leading to accelerators getting trapped under the body of the car.
@@MrDesserG - FORD is the leader in Truck RECALLS #1 ......lol
@@markplott4820 They have sold about 4000 so far according to the recall that was just announced. So, I assume they have been producing them for 4 days now?
Now that the hype is settled you made an exact replica of what has already been said.. 🎉
yep, what is the point of this? guess I'll send an invisible thumbs down.
Ain't no damn cybertrucks
Yes, well if you don't have early access, or otherwise late to the party, you make a 'feature' out of it.
Hopefully European safety regs will keep this thing your side of the pond; that bodywork looks lethal for pedestrians.
There are no plans to get this to Europe. As you say razor blade edges. kit cars have to have a 3mm radius on edges
That's a good point, would fail an SVA let alone full mass market testing.
We need front height limit years ago. So many people are killed because of vanity trucks.
Yeah because a Range Rover is great for pedestrians at least this has automatic braking....
Don't worry, we're safe.
It hasn't got a hope of passing any European safety tests, plus I believe it's also too big.
4:54 those aren't fog lights, those are the main head lights!
Jup. And these people get to drive and review these amazing vehicles without knowing the basic facts.. lol
Gutted! The cyber truck should've been reviewed by Kryton
“ Why Sir’s this is a thing of beauty, the angles it reminds me of myself and oh sir’s I could plug in a hover or charge myself, plug in the toaster you name it”
“Mr Musk sir, you are a complete and total smeg head”
It's only slightly smaller than Red Dwarf.
Kryten
Triple Polaroid.
@2:12 Before you review any other lifted car (from the perspective a sedan or compact/sub compact car), how visible is a child / small adult who are trying to walk in the cross walk? That should be our measure of “good visibility.”
"You can see out the front" as if that was an extra feature... What a ridiculous thing to say.
(Because of course you can't see children crossing a street unless you're really far away in this monstrosity)
@@andreashausberger8262
Maybe thats the problem that you hit on "unless you are really far away [from a crosswalk] in this monstrosity". We should ask is there a need to have these silly high clearance, high drag coefficient cars who can kill small people/children with ease.
Japan has shown that kei cars work. With some of the largest kei truck (non commerical) beds being substantially larger than the cyber truck’s tiny bed.
"lifted car"
This is not a lifted car. It rides lower than its competitors. It has a shorter front than its competitors, both in terms of depth and height. I feel these criticisms have been unfairly targeted at Cybertruck and not other (much more egregious) trucks.
@@j1000a
So let me give you a sense of what lifted means on a flat road. GTs and Hyper cars fit somewhere around 1000mm to 1300 mm tall (looking at the Aston Martin to 911 (992 variant)). Normal sedans are around 1450 to 1550 mm (sampling Model S, BMW i5 (G60 variant) and a few Priuses). The truck class or lifted class tend to stand around 1700 mm to over 1800 mm in height. (This includes some/most SUVs and designed for merican oversized market: Toyota Tundra and up).
If I told you all cars where within 130% of the smallest car, no car is lifted. However based on these figures, 180% height of the smallest sampled car is significant. Especially if we are talking about aero properties (or lack there of).
To put this in perspective of small people (aka children) vs lifted cars. 120.5 mo old (10 years if you couldnt do the maths): 50th percentile is 138.82cm (3rd percentile: 126.67cm and 97th percentile: 151.53cm) (Reader, this is the value for boys but girls are almost identical to this size at 120.5 mo). So 1388mm tall child compared to a sedan that is only 1550mm tall, the driver can easily see this person. Place that same child in front of a 1800mm lifted car, maybe the driver will notice their heard. Maybe. Of course the child could be bent over and there is a 0% chance the driver will see over their massive front end.
Its damn reckless for people to buy lifted cars unless they absolutely need that clearance. Kei cars exist. Specifically the are mini trucks with LARGER beds than most standard length trucks (that are currently made for the states). These mini trucks are low to the ground and provide a human’s perspective. If the kei standard is too under powered for you, I’m sure the car industry can upgrade them a bit to tow centric without needing to lift them to 1700+ mm.
Thats how I am using lifted. Chill.
Absolutely. American style trucks are child-killers. Really having a flat front like this should no longer be allowed. The low, rounded front of the Model 3 is much better for pedestrian safety.
At 6:55, its not called a "wing pillar" its called a "flying buttress". There's been several cars with this design language Jaguar xjS FHC, Ferrari Dino 246 GTS and the Ferrari 599 GTO.
If you physically strain yourself in order to look forward whilst saying the line 'visibility is good' then I don't believe you.
Ikr? Why are tesla cultists like this
😂😆
He can't see forward? You're being absurd.
@@jamesengland7461 over the hood? Visibility sucks so bad Tesla had to add a front cam
How is it absurd? He literally has to lean forward to see the front while claiming its easy to see, its not absurd to point this out@@jamesengland7461
I noticed you taking your eyes off the road for too long a couple of times to use the computer screen; what were you doing with it?
The steering wheel looks more like a squashtagon than a squircle.
wise words
A what?
I think someone said ‘make it: not all flat sided but not all oval, not square, not a circle’
@@talktorobi a squashed octogon.
I call it the woke bc Elon would hate that
How do you clean the lower third of the inside of the windscreen? You know, the bit you mostly look through.
Also, for a comprehensive review, there was no mention of one of the more interesting features, the 48v low voltage system except a passing mention at the end.
I think the most interesting feature is the finger chopper
RTFM.
he doesnt even know where the headlights are....
Woo ... an advert for Tesla! 🙄 (I was half-expecting him to utter orgasmic noises) 🤣
Pretty much sums up America!
"dad? why does the future not look like the future?"
"son, I will make the future look like a playstation one video game"
Lol😂
"dad? why does the future not look like the future?"
"Shut up, son"
To be fair, most of his kids don't want anything to do with him so he needs to try impressing the ones who still talk to him. He's no good at being a dad so making a daft toy car is the next best thing I guess.
@@jamesbarker7145 or maybe he just blatantly LIED... is actually what that man child like, so he blame it on the kid.
@@johnsmith-cw3woYes, the fact he expects us to believe his kid actually said that is laughable. He doesn't have any contact with most of his kids.
"Best in class, like everything Tesla does" apart from build and material quality and interior design to name but three.
yeah maybe three years ago.
@@cawfeedawg no it's not. You can still drive a bus through the panel gaps!
Ermmm show me someone who`s using the same Stainless Steel as SpaceX... ?
@@kylereese4822 that's a stupid question. Besides which they've only used that stainless steel as a willy waving exercise. Let us not forget the whole smashed window debacle on stage and the hilarious follow up 😂
Customer service is another area Tesla definitely trails in.
Wow, pretty much a 15 minute advert
Those doors are going to eat so many fingers
A vanity exercise, pure and simple.
This proofs my point similar to the garden bridge that never got built floating absurdly amount of useless cash to throw at a wall but never sticks, the Cybertruck is ambitious enough to made and angling to the surface that we can build ambitions over vanity.
If the late Zara Hadid designed a truck it would’ve been the Cybertruck, just take a look at her architecture history ambitious in design.
If you run your hand along it slower, it might appear even longer.
cameras and alerts all around the vehicle. you can see a one pound coin on the ground in front of it.
ooo-er!
If I'm 6-foot tall, and I lie in fetal position in the bed leaving 3 ft of room, does that mean that the bed of the truck is now 9 feet tall?
Comparing the Cybertruck to a Aptera, I think I prefer Chris's vision of the future over Elons.
Random question I haven’t heard answered; is reflecting the sun into oncoming traffic going to be very noticeable? Regular vehicles with curved windshields sometimes get me on a sunny day in the Nevada desert. I imagine a huge flat window and inline hood will reflect a perfect sun glare at just the right angle.
Definitely going to blind the crap out of people. Bad enough with chrome on vehicles
You never see a blinding glare in this or any other Cybertruck video
Just like you never see self driving Tesla fails, not because they don’t exist but because musky doesn’t want you to.
Don't worry. Rust will soon eliminate the glare.
If so, it not a problem... this is the FUTURE! Your question being way too practical.
Thanks to stringent pedestrian safety regulations this version of the Cybertruck, and other obnoxious American trucks, cannot be sold in Europe.
They can still be bought from the US and imported by individuals.

@@dogjennings1171 Still needs to pass safety regulations though. You just import a large lawn ornament.
@bamikroket not in the UK. As a personal import, a Cybertruck would only need a Basic IVA (Individual Vehical Approval) which does not require the vehicle to meet regulations protecting pedestrians.
Kids, can you say, "Wrong, Wrong, Rama Lama Ding Dong?"
At the first pedestrian injury, this would be removed from the road in the UK & EUROPE
that thing doesn't look anything like the future. It looks like what Homer Simpson created in the episode where he was given a box of crayons and told to design the ultimate car.
It's a big electric delorean. The future... 40 years ago.

I thought I watched closely but maybe not. Did you forget to open a rear door and show the passenger area?
Or any details we might have really missed from other reviews. This was just yet another general overview.
Just another hype job. The opinions about the frunk was rediculous. 🤣
I wonder if it is worse to close the door on your finger in this car than others, with edges like that?
Where is Bobby and the Kryten suit when you need him! 🤣
Ricky! You're the best!!! Thanks for taking your time explaining things to all of us so we can fully appreciate life more🌸
"This might be Tesla's most cohesive design language ever" - Yes. Everything looks shit
😂😆
At the Cybertruck unveil event the dual motor version was said to have 300 miles of range, not 400 as Ricky incorrectly states here. They actually have a shot at hitting that, if you assume that at some point a software update will unlock the potential of the 4680 cells, which are clearly a drag on range and the charging curve at the moment.
If you drive similarly as the EPA range test you get similar range, which people have already done in the real world.
I saw some crash test videos, and this jawn had NO crumple zones.
I like critical reviews.
Thank you.
interesting, did you find this one critical? because i did not.. in my opinion, fully charged is great at showing new products in the ev field with lots of positivity, which is good and needed! but i often don't find the reviews critical or honest enough. for example - i find the cybertruck really cool, but how much should it be praised for that, versus criticized for the problems which he pointed out quickly in the end of the video? like the range and the price. 340 claimed miles to 260 test miles. 50k dollars more than they said originally. that's the price of a whole (really good) car! i wonder if the people that it's aimed for are going to be able to buy it.. futuristic, sure, but it's not hard to be futuristic if the price doesn't matter.
The amount of time your eyes were away from the road while moving is a very good reason for scrapping touch controls in cars.
Careful, the Tesla fans will come at you with some nonsense about iPhone vs BlackBerry.
Other car manufacturers already do that.
Thankfully here in Europe we have the Tyre Extinguishers...
It will always remind me of a cooker hood.
Only not as stylish😊
A cooker hood don't rust as fast as the Cyber-rust
Most expensive cooker hood imaginable
@@SomewhereInTheSolarSystem Nice try but that whole rust issue was FUD that has been debunked.
@@beachcrow It's on their manual, that it must be cleaned immediately after a trivial rain. It's funny they put this warning into the manual, when the vehicle is plenty of internal side surfaces that are exposed and will never be cleaned. But don't worry, fanboys can live in a parallel reality.
The light bar does not light the road…the lower lights are the actual headlights.
Will be in all cars in the next five years or so…:
No crash compatibility.
Serious threats to people walking or cycling or being outside this car.
Being large and taking up more space.
Cool cool
He was talking about the cast frame components, but ok.
• 48v electrical system
• Steer by wire
• Ethernet wiring harness
• Gigacasting cast chassis
• Rear wheel steering ...
He was talking more about the technology within the cybertruck rather than the cybertruck itself. Steer by wire steering and as such, it gives variable steering and is a major change.
@@beachcrowlmfao Mercedes had most of these for years.
Toyota did steer by wire first
But noooo, Tesla is soooo innovative 😂
@@Jaw0lfnah. Toyota did it first
The design language may be cohesive but It's exactly what you'd expect from a guy who'd buy up an internationally known brand whose terminology had entered the lexicon of several languages and rename it X. It's achingly obvious that no one close to him ever tells him, "no, that's a silly idea" if they want to remain in that position.
That’s just not true. People tell him when he’s wrong. He even admits when he’s wrong.
I remember when he said that self driving cars will be a reality at the end of the year, in 2016 and 2017 and 2018 and 2019 and 2020 and 2021 but I can’t recall him ever saying he was wrong. But he did go to war with anyone posting self driving cars Tesla fails. I think never admitting your wrong is a conscious decision for musky and his fanboys.
@@yscol1313 remember when he hired Don Lemon to host a news show on twitter then fired him straight away because he didn’t like the questions he was asked in an interview he gave to launch the channel? 😂
Don was in negotiations - not hired. His demands were wholly unreasonable which is why they didn't end up signing him... a decision made jointly by The CEO and CTO.@@kickedinthecalfbyacow7549
@@yscol1313No, not true. It is well known that you don't keep your job long if you contradict Elon. Many ex-Tesla execs have stated that.
There are so many questions about the cybertruck, but I'm more concerned about what the guy is doing in the background at 6:02 in the video. 😂
@6:04 is that guy in the background having a piss?
My thoughts exactly! I wanted to see if anyone else noticed before posting a new comment 🙂
How unironically apt
Ha. Well spotted 🙂

The rear view mirror is most likely there because it is required by law.
I am surprised that it is not required by law to be able to see in that mirror, with this big of a track using just the side mirrors is a recipe for disaster

It's @TwoBitDaVinci
Yes, *"Two Bit da Vinci"* is Ricky Roy's excellent UA-cam science channel.
@@beachcrowhis tesla reviews are always non critical.
He does reviews for Fully Charged, and came to the UK for the live event last year.
@@MikeTrieu : 🆗, thank you for the confirmation. I really appreciate it. And, thank you for replying too. I know it looked like him.
Is this vehicle not on a total recall for the brake pedal issue?
How is it when it comes to hauling things like moving furniture, and heavy equipment?
9 out of 10 trucks, never see dirt, never tow anything, move a case of beer a few times a year.
For the remaining 1 out of 10 users this may or may not be the truck for there needs.
Even then a van may be a far better choice.
90% of trucks are pointless
Every van is a better choice
Trucks aren't normally used for their intended purpose. Many guys buy them to make up for what they're lacking down below.
The vast majority of trucks, even light duty ones, are bought and operated by businesses and governments, not private buyers. Perhaps your 9 out of 10 idea works in some limited way with private buyers but it really isn't necessary to look that deeply given that the basic premise is so easily falsified.
yup. It's also why they all look so agressive and are called something like "Ford f5000 velociraptor turbocock" @@beyondu77
Nope.
Where are the license plates? Where would they go? I can see a place below the tailgate that you might fit one (maybe), but there's nothing on the front.
I saw this episode on March 8th. Yesterday, the storage lot at the Austin Gigafactory held over 100 Cybertrucks. They're going somewhere.
Yeah, into storage.
There's a reason you don't see bodywork that shape on any other vehicles, because it will rip a pedestrian in half, and vehicles designed like that would fail basic safety tests in most of the civilized world!
So if it's tested and approved by NCAP for pedestrian safety you will embrace it?
That'll be why they sell it in the USA then. 🤭
@@gpsfinancial6988 If it doesn't, will you critcise it?
@@davidcolin6519 Sure will, I'm unhappy about the obesity of current SUVs and trucks. I suspect that due to the design of the Cybertruck pedestrian safety will be better than most SUVs in the market. That's not to say it will be good, just better than where the market is. Small does not mean good. Zero star Renault Zoe has a pedestrian rating of 41%. VW Up 46%, tiny Fiat 500e 67% all much lower than the obese Tesla Model X with a pedestrian safety rating of 72%.
@@gpsfinancial6988 No. It requires a truck license in Europe. It can cut off your fingers. It doesn't have physical controls for the most often used functions. (BTW NCAP now requires physical controls to achieve 5 star ratings ) It doesn't and could never meet the EU requirements of rounding steel edges at least 3.2 mm.

How are you aloud to drive on public roads without registration plates?
Serious question what happens if you're not anywhere near a charging stasian?
Like, say you get stuck in a traffic jam for hours because of an accident or a road hazard?
@carolynbrown5145 I don't know how to answer other than to say it's exactly the same as if you are in a combustion vehicle. I have been in this position in an electric car. There was a serious incident on a motorway resulting in a 15 mile tailback. I was probably at mile 8 in an electric car.
We had a 4 hour wait, in winter. It was cold for UK standards, a little under freezing and I was fine. I was running the heating, and for the entire period I was sitting there, I lost maybe 2 or 3 miles of range.
All around me people were sitting with their engines running to keep their heating on, burning fuel, reducing their range by far more and also filling the air with toxic, poisonous fumes.
Here's the important thing, anyone can come up with a scenario where an electric car fails for one reason or another. But you can do exactly the same thing with combustion vehicles.
So the only serious question is this.
Is what we do now okay. Is burning billions of gallons of toxic fossil fuel every day okay.
If it is, forget electric cars, carry on as 'normal.'
Meh. Most long-time truck owners are not going to go for it, but… it will give a Cyborgasm to the E'loon cult.
Anyone else ever worked for a boss that knew far less than you and made stupid decisions, but you had to bow to their every whim because they were the boss? This is the rolling embodiment of that.
We've all been there....😀👍
i see this as a positive. there will never be any innovation if everyone just does business as usual and or copies everyone else. you could delete 50% of car companies and no-one would notice. either they use the same platform and put a different looking chassis or the other way round. and change the price tag a little. that's not engineering. that's milking customers who don't have good alternatives
Lol no it would have never made it into production if that was the case.
It's 5% of what a Citroen DS Special 1973 model is. Engineering perfection was achieved 50 years ago. Just electrify that.
@6:18, are you a sheet good? are you a ladder? I didnt know you were the standard for how small a truck bed should be lol

Whats the cold and hot weather range. Like how would it be to live in Canada with this year around lol
Tested by a Tesla owner. Wonder why this review was so favourable.
3 tonnes of buyers remorse
KIM Kardashian seems to like it.
Too bad the truck can't even be left out in the rain...😊
As a highly skilled engineer, I’d be gutted if I were told to work on a project that only arose to reassure the kids of my boss about the future 😂
Was the guy in the background at 6:04 having a piss? 🤣
1) "capacitive buttons never felt quite the right thing" Yes, they are shit. And if automotive journalists had called them that from the beginning they would be already gone from cars.
2) Touchscreen made you look away from the street for 4 full seconds while driving, with only short blinks for the street. This is the next thing that needs to be banned.
3) bed being large enough to transport bodies is probably a feature for most who would drive this.
4) the only divisive thing about this car is the design, everything else is either nothign new or dumb. (rusting panels anyone?)
I think it looks like the engineers have been forced to build a kids drawing. Thankfully on this side of the pond people who use pickup trucks generally do so for practical reasons so other than the odd poser I doubt many of these will be about even if they can pass safety legislation.
It won't have a cement mixer thrown in the back of it, that's for sure. It's basically a big boy's toy for people with more money than sense.
Those razer sharp stainless steel blades that are the front wings will cut you in two in a pedestrian collision. It will never meet European safety regulations.
@@theressomelovelyfilthdownh4329 my great grandma would say 'dollars than sense'.
Two Bit - the Cybertruck rearview mirror is FMVSS compliant .
however, the MAIN way to view REAR is w/ rear camera on MAIN Display.
as always check out other reviews as well. throttle house has a real fun one where they make a roadtrip with it.
I sincerely hope this doesn't become the general aesthetic in the future.
It won't. Only Tesla stans think this is the future. 73 delivered in February says not as many people are buying into that future as they predicted.
Couldn't you find anyone that isn't a Tesla fanboy to do a review? This is just like all the other fawning reviews, i don't need a car with a "dominating presence on the road" I am not that insecure.

Tesla's best product is now its supercharger network, followed maybe by its power backup batteries. Musk is wasting the company's funds on things like cybertruck and the model x
I don't think Tesla Share holders see the profit margin being a waste.

A demolition derby of these things would be... interesting.
I like parts of it.
No rear view mirror monitor? My little Bolt has that and it's great.
How much to replace the windshield, or the wiper?
How do you clean the inside of that monstrous windshield? Oh, right, hundred thousand dollar car, they pay someone to do it :P

Those A pillars are scary.
Do those doors have enough oomph to pop open when the car is iced up? Oh right, 100k car, it'll sit in a garage.
I do like the look. It seems capable. I like the built in cover and several of the other features.
Def never gonna get one myself, but I won't begrudge others buying it.

I see there was no mention of the rusting issues or the lack of customer support. Actually there is quite a lot that wasn't mentioned in this video, like all of the downsides.
The rusting was a nothing burger. the machine tools left debris and thats what rusted.. it wipes right off and does NOT return.. yeah they could have cleaned it better but its not stainless corrosion.
Amazed in the wheelbase it has. I guess since the overhang rear is short this looks weird for a pickup.
Does the steer by wire mean that Beach Buggy Racing plays better?
No chance if one hits you - forget energy-absorbing cladding. This is an internal-injury, bone-breaker! At least the blood will wash off easily though.
Well you have to wash it off quickly. Otherwise it will corrode and disintegrate.
Why are you platforming this über-teslafanboy? His reviews regarding tesla are always HEAVY pro-tesla.
Come on!
Agreed
It's like somebody took some restaurant counters and glued them together and put it on top of a battery with wheels.
Exposed sharp edges are not “weird”; they are crap. Have you seen the video where they use the side door as a vegetable slicer ?
It doesn't look like a product, it looks like a project. A school project maybe.

Glad this isn't coming to Europe. Horrible for pedestrian safety.
I would like to present the kei car. Classically we can talk about the Suzuki Carry, futura 1.5 having a 2.375 m long bed. Or as it is 3.94 sq m of usable space. Cyber Truck only has 2.23 sq m and a constrained length of 1.829m Even the standard bed length for a 2023 Tundra (Toyota) is 1.971m long than Tesla's 1.829m. (I don’t know if Tundra drivers can chime in or not but does the semi useless space along the wheel wells actually become useful? That if your primary concern is having the unbroken 1.237m width between the wheel wells being reserved for boxes/crates/sheet goods/etc.)
My concern is if companies are going to make trucks, make them USABLE, as trucks. A 60kusd+ 'truck' which is basically an oversized lifted Prius (I did look for seat down cargo sizing which is not so easy to source but lets call that within the realms of cyber truck capacity. Feel free to cite measurements (X,Y,Z) ). Otherwise there are these useless trucks being put on the market who may never have a second life as a working truck.
My Mitsubishi minicab miev EV Kei van has more usable interior space than a Land Rover defender, Kei cars rule as far as usability goes, stiff regulation does the world for creativity, freedom from boundary's jus t creates huge trucks and SUVs .
@@metricstormtrooper absolutely! If people drove smaller cars, driving around in a kei car wouldnt feel as vulnerable as well. Downsizing really does help everyone.
The actual headlights are in the slot just above the bumper, I think?
It's got 4-wheel steering, which is very useful.
...for what?
@@loneskumdovefor much better maneuverability, and handling - a long wheelbase makes these worse, and 4-wheel steering is a huge help for both.
LOL @ "design language". Phvcking hell.
Definitely below FCS standards, guy doesn't even know what a hexagon is
Or a square
The ancient Egyptians would love it, Elton's sarcophagus.
Note the lower lights are the headlights.
