Absolutely Right Emmett. I did the same thing. I put money down on a truck I don't need because it locked in Autopilot at $7K. I think it'll be apparent in 2 years that Tesla's Autopilot will be worth (and priced) WAAAAAAAAAAAYYYYY more.
Respectfully disagree. While I love the truck, I wouldn't waste $7K hoping they can fix all 1,000+ unforeseen situations before FSD is legally approved. As a former AI researcher, I am used to people making big AI promises like this 20 years ago, that still aren't fixed. (One example: Suppose a car runs a red light. Avoidance means hitting a jogger. May the car legally hit him/her?). The average car is owned 7 years. Buy FSD if you enjoy partial FSD, but I won't risk they fix this stuff before it becomes old.
Totally agree! Small correction: it’s 30X steel as in three-o-x. It’s like grade 301 steel or grade 302 steel, but it’s a custom steel mixture so Tesla put an X in the last digit instead of a number.
I would guess it's 304 just because that's so common in nuclear and food industry work (meaning a lot of people are familiar with forming and welding it).
I know that it’s not feasible, but I would love it if it were 316L stainless, the cost and price to manufacture is why but the results would be amazing.
One more reason: Cybertruck is great for after market customizations. Flat surfaces and thick (3mm) structural s/s steel make it like a blank canvas for easy add-ons like colour, body mods, lighting,... etc.
@@emmettshort Yeah plus long car drives wont feel bad anymore, you simply just take a 10 hour drive to visit someone. Cost is super low and you can sleep for 6-7 hours until you have to charge. Its gonna take some time to get used to it but damn the potential is insane.
You know how the Robotaxis will come to you? How about sending the truck to go get materials while you keep working? How about a fleet of Roboplows that do routes while you're warm in bed? What if solid-state batteries triple the range and can be recharged as fast as you can fill a tank (and cost 1/2 as much and work to -20C) hit the BEV market by the time the Cybertruck is available? Exciting!
Looks are not the main issue with trucks it's all about performance and judging by how well the "unbreakable" glass performed I have serious doubts this is anything more than a publicity stunt.

Keith Chin so you are pivoting on an American manufacturing prospective rather than it looks ridiculous? What a joke. If this looks amazing to you where were you with the Pontiac Aztec? This is a stretched version of that. How many units has America produced to date?
You are absolutely right. I ordered a dual motor one with self-drive, and I keep wondering if I should change the order to the 3-motor. The value difference is way more than the 20k, but it's way beyond my budget. Anyways, regarding aesthetics, when you look at trucks of other brands, some 70% to 90% of the visual features you see are there to tease your eyes. And this is true in spite of them being disappointments relative to concept models. Look at any car out there and you see all kinds of lines and curves and flares and forms and colors and chromes, all being eye candy. The Cybertruck, by contrast, is less than 10% eye-candy, if you consider the lights being connected by a LED strip; but for the most part, any features you see go by the rule of form follows function. This truck embodies "aesthetic honesty".

@C W Are there still rainforests in South America, i thought we destroyed them all cuz you know most of us humans are evil money minded idiots, well anyways each day football field size of rainforests are being destroyed , maybe you should do more to stop the deforestation around the globe, oh and you think lithium is more toxic than carbon effluents gases? Atleast batteries are getting more efficient and advance by the day but ICE engines cant get that efficient, atleast they havent in past 100+ yrs. And if you are worried about the battery production why dont you say something about mobile phones, laptops, your ICE engine car batteries, those are batteries aswell. Lithium isnt as abundant as carbon and it can be easily dumped safely or recycled, but carbon if once in air will definitely raise the global temperatures. Besides all other car manufacturers are moving towards electric cars, its not only tesla. And why am i explaining this anyways, tankers filled with crude oil are making our oceans inhabitable and toxic and oceans are covering 74% of earth's surface, destroy that and we are doomed, not only south Americans but all of us . And its easier to store and control solids like lithium than carbon di oxide or methane.
I think you're right. I think many people are going to have a first reaction of "Yeesh....I dunno..." but then they'll take a breath and think "Actually...I kinda like having the future be now, I'm in."
This is the best and most convincing video I have watched so far about cybertruck. Thanks for the new rebudles I can use in conversation. This was a true contribution to the future.
@@emmettshort unfortunately no. By the time it comes out I should be graduated from college and set in a job that I have secured already so I'll consider it then. As for reserving it I'm sure there will be availability by the time I'm ready to get one.
Ok so your description of we what all kinda said to ourselves as Americans is spot on and directly from my thought process! I ended up reserving one but not until Elon Tweeted that it was over 140k. So mad at myself but so happy I did it! Can't WAIT to own this thing!
Great vid my man. As a Model 3 owner myself, I'm just absolutely over the moon with my ownership experience. Never been so obsessed with my car and the Tesla brand in general. I had to sleep on the Cybertruck for a day, but as I learned about its functionality and lower cost of manufacturing, it all made sense on why he made it this way. Trucks are performance and functionality vehicles. They aren't there to win beauty contests. If the truck just does better on a performance and durability metric. Then it's just a better truck. Looks be damned. But because it's so different it's going to turn a lot of heads. And I want that truck!
Still thought if your spending a lot of money on a car or truck. You want it to at least have some aesthetic appeal. The truck's design has grown on me. But from some angle I still dunno.
@@kxyoto8541 I can't have any issues with you there. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Look at the F-117. I think that is a pretty awesome looking plane. I think the Cybertruck will have some advantages in specific areas for it being a truck. Its durability should definitely be intriguing. And having that back cover will help its aerodynamic coefficient. I think this truck works well for folks that don't really haul all that much but commute to work in them. And it works in small range heavy towing areas. Even taking a boat to a nearby lake. Probably not so much in the heavy towing over long distances. Gas trucks are still going to win out over convenience in that factor. I'm glad this is another option for consumers. We all win with more options.
When I saw it first time, I was like WTF...after a few days, I ordered one... I start to like it... I know they will make it big and sexy when it comes out in 2022...looking forward to it.
To be fair, all concept cars go through changes to comply with a bunch of necessary regulations. Cybrtruk won't be different and I know Elon will make sure it still is kickass! Keep going, Tesla!
I run a Lawn and Landscape business, the points you made are exactly why I reserved the Cybertruck! The fact that it's so polarizing and attention getting makes it a perfect advertising tool. I imagine a lot of folks will ask questions about it and those people can become potential prospects. And overall I can have fun by letting any future or existing clients check it out or ride in it.
You're absolutely right, Emmett! Now let's get Andrew Yang in the WH, make Elon the Tech Czar and zoom past the knee of the curve! To infinity and beyond! 😃🚀
Yang might ask Elon for advice, but Elon works much better without politics. He wanted to take Tesla private because he was sick of Wall Street telling him what he could and couldn't do. Make him president of Mars if you like, but don't tell him what to do.
lmao jesus christ this is a horrifying comment. too much contradiction to process... Yang would crumble the economy overnight... people like Musk and Bezos would want him drug down the street and hung in public square... That dude isn't even in the ball-park of reality.. he has the sophomore and freshman votes in high-schools.. I literally can't believe people like him and the other communist are running and people think it wont crumble the economy. I have no worries about him getting in or anything. He wont even pull 1%.. but the fact anyone thinks his plans are positive is on the line of horrifying and hilarious.. If you are one of those team players and have to vote for however you are told to vote... then at least vote Tulsi Gabbard lol
I want one. The design took some getting used to as I'm a car guy who prefers rounded shapes like the Porsche 911. But, what appeals to me about this CyberTruck is that it's electric, super tough, you never have to wax it or worry about door dings, and it sits up higher so I don't have to worry about scraping curbs. It lots of cargo room, making it even more practical than the Civic Sedan I own. I like this a lot. Price is still high for me at the moment, but I could see myself coming around to it.
The utility aspect sold me, I'm looking for my next 10+ year vehicle. My Tacoma has been stellar so far just very very very rusty... Love your vid. You are dead on! Cannot wait!!!!!
This truck has everything a contractor needs IE dent resistant, shatter proof glass, no need for gas or diesel, 120/240v power, can tow up to 7 tons, up to 500miles range. The one thing that it lacks is the ability to add a ladder rack a very important detail for contractors...
Thank you for that... I believe it can accommodate a camper outfit but judging by the size of those inlets I can't see it accommodating a contractor grade ladder or pipe rack somehow, they have a much larger base based on the weight that they support.
The cybertruck immediately made every other mainstream car look inferior. Seeing cars go down the road now, I think they are all boring and ugly compared to the CT. This coming decade will be amazing to say the least.
True test for these is range well towing. Tesla model x doesn't fair well even towing a small 2000 lb camper trailer. This my have the same issue expect to lose up to 60% of range when towing.
Very cool. I can't wait to learn more about the frunk, side tool bins, and back storage area. So much great potential on this awesome beast of a truck. One other thing I have been curious about is the truck bed. It's 6.5 ft long but it looks like the tail gate can almost be an extension of the truck bed. Possibly making it 8 feet long which would be great for sheets of plywood. The tail gate has tie down slots on it. That would be awesome if they designed it do so. I have so many people saying to me "It can't even carry sheets of plywood". I hope its at least 4 foot wide. It looks to be that wide to me but would be great to get actual measurement.
@@SmartMart1658 that is great detail but I am hoping to get inside dimensions of the truck bed. I want to make sure it can hold plywood and I have a lot of tools for the side storage bins. I really want to know more about those.
@@mtbingadventures1551 I guestimate it to be 5 feet wide based on the external dimensions of the truck. If you use the Motortrend picture of the back of the truck you should be able to do an more accurate measurement. Or you could ask Elon on Twitter.
Bottom line, they need to get the charging technology, to where it takes 5 to 10 minutes to fully charge.. And it needs to be available with normal outlets. This is the only thing stopping most people, including myself. Now, since it's big enough, maybe they will add in some sort of emergency motor that burns gas to recharge the battery. If they do that, I would be in for sure.
SO glad i watched this. i was going back and forth with my decision on my reservation but there’s still plenty of time. but after seeing your first two points were the exact same things that i weighed as pros for getting the truck, i decided i’m DEFINITELY getting it for my business. awesome vid!
Nice! I think I may use it to advertise my film business here in Hollywood as well! But hopefully the UA-cam channel takes off by then and I can just wrap it matte black or something. Cheers!
What about mileage while towing. Yes it's got great power, great acceleration under load, but a video of towing with another tesla vehicle shows that it cuts in half with a cargo trailer and cuts by 2/3 when towing in hills. An hours charging every 100 miles? This is what trucks do. Will it do it?
@@emmettshort I'm reading online that it's 44 minutes to 21 hours depending on the type of charger for the tri-motor ev-database.org/car/1250/Tesla-Cybertruck-Tri-Motor
Emmett Short hey buddy great video I was just trying to be funny, I remember those Subaru brats they were awesome do you remember those? Very unique they actually put seats in the back pick up bed facing backward. Just having a memory of riding in the back with my older brother driving like a maniac
Thanks for these thoughts I have been really warming to this car and seems to be getting more general traction and acceptance. So glad I found your channel so early. You deserve a BIG audience bro’
@Emmett Short, no doubt bro’, you’ll be the supercar blonde of the EV/tech world, but male, but brunette, but not super hot, but great communicator and really really smart. So, putting all those buts aside it’s probs fair to say 😜 Good Luck ✊
Excellent commentary / analysis. My only ( only one) negative thought was the danger that someone may interpret a company using this truck as being 'style over substance' - particularly by a company doing ' no nonsense' practical work like plumbing. If they understood the practical and economic benefits then this would not be an issue - but many people have only seen the glossy marketing and not good analysis like yours.
I would hire a contractor who has a CyberTruck. My first impression would be that he's a skilled worker who is not afraid to bring big attention to himself (and the quality of his work).
This truck simply can't do what trucks are meant to do. If you try towing with an electric vehicle, you're range will drop extremely. A bit over 60% to be exact.
I think you are absolutely on point! Great analysis! Tesla really understands the American market. But why is there still no Tesla model that has the largest part of the European market in mind? Basically 85% of our cars over here are small hatchbacks, smaller than model 3/Y. The market for pick-up trucks is literally non-existent. Instead contractors are driving little closed vans. After Roadster, S, X, 3, Y, Cybertruck, Semi and Roadster 2.0 we still have not seen a Tesla model that really caters to our most usual needs.
That volt devolution was disgusting. When I saw the cyber truck I thought it looked awesome immediately. My initial impression of that first volt was cool. The third was to say ewww in rl.
Great video. Great points. Folks keep saying Cybertruck isn’t practical and you can’t load from the side - a simple answer to that would be to copy Rivian and have a step sliding out from the body to stand on. Stainless steel of course. Problem solved. Send royalties.
Rescue workers will have to start carrying around little chrome balls. They seem to do wonders on the windows. The body will be tough but you can still break the glass with some effort.
Ya, it might impress some people when you as the business owner pull up to consult about a job in the trades. And it will be interesting to see what the aftermarkets will be coming out with maybe like lumber/sport racks, slide in campers , camper / utility shells and maybe slide out storage containers . But seeing on line long trip towing test of electric vehicles isn’t too impressive. Towing cuts the mileage down dramatically so for any lengthy trips you may need to allow much more travel time to get there and for the extra charge stations.
Emmet I believe you are so right about the 5 arguments you for the CyberTruck in the US, but I am a southAmerican in Bogotá, Colombia and I am looking atr the specs for it in terms of offroad preformance and considering openning business y Guajira an remote desert where the wayu culture dominates and they are a binational groups of tribe between Guajira, Colombia and Maracaibo, Venezuela and conditions are ideal por the cybertruck specially at the prices annopunced.
I think the towing capacity is moot since you can't use a gooeneck trailer. Plus it's not modular like the typical pickup. It's more closely related to a large SUV than a Pickup. It's not really useful as a pickup, but is really cool for city folk and doing odd jobs.
Main issue is towing range. The Model X was tested with a 4,500 lbs trailer (it's tow limit) and only had a 120 mile range because of it. This needs to improve for the Cybertruck to be taken seriously among truck owners who actually use their vehicles to tow boats, campers, horses, etc. Because 120 mile range and 45 minute charges are not going to be good enough. Unless Telsa comes out with a battery breakthrough, not sure how they are going to solve this. They can only shove so many batteries in there.
I plan on using it as my daily driver/work truck. I currently own a Ram 2500 and I put $20 of gas a day in it. Even if I’m conservative and say that’s 300 days a year at $20 that’s $6000 over 10 years the truck pays for itself in gas saving.
My house contractor said he would buy it in a minute. He makes 4 or 5 runs a day all over town (to the city planning dept, to Home Depot, to Lowe's and to drop his daughter off at school). He spends $100-200 dollars a week on gas. Plus he has to bring an air compressor and a generator to the job site (where they can and do get stolen). He tows some equipment occasionally - not cross country - but around town. Perfect. I personally want it for it being badass and menacing. Its going to replace my 2000 Dodge Dakota.
Emmett Short tbh its kind of dangerous at the same time, just imagine you, or the other driver makes mistake and you hit someone, or someone hits that armored car... i dont think this would end well
It's not 30 TIMES cold rolled, the X is a placeholder It's 30X, like 301 Stainless Steel, or 304 Stainless steel, but they aren't revealing the chemistry, so they hide the third number with a variable instead.
Was it a guaranteed style and price ? what size air compressor ( just good enough for a tire fill and suspension what is the cfm and tank size ? ) know that it will need mirrors, wipers, air bags - but I also know that it depends on if it’s a light duty or medium duty pickup on the edges and crash design. Is it air bag suspension or air bag assist ?
I think that thing is the coolest things since the 1979 Ford pick up and the 2007 Dodge ram Mega cab what would really be cool if somebody would get a fiberglass body on it and make a truck puller with it The looks are really awesome
Absolutely Right Emmett. I did the same thing. I put money down on a truck I don't need because it locked in Autopilot at $7K. I think it'll be apparent in 2 years that Tesla's Autopilot will be worth (and priced) WAAAAAAAAAAAYYYYY more.
That might be the single biggest deal about this car and that’s saying a lot. Almost no one is talking about that. It’s HUGE!
My thinking exactly! What's a $100 down?
same here !!
Scary military future .. ack! Armored crime truck

“This truck is cutting edge. There’s nothing but edges on this truck and they look like they could cut you”
😝🤪😅
:P also feel the pun whether intentional or not continue into the "...ahead of the curve" as in ahead of curvy vehicles and curved body design.
You should actually find the reason why it looks like the way it looks. Of course you diesel breathers only understand soot density and horsepower.
This is the beginning to vehicles being designed differently
paradigm shift

Ive also heard speculation that its work hardened. Thats why you can't stamp it.

Ok so your description of we what all kinda said to ourselves as Americans is spot on and directly from my thought process! I ended up reserving one but not until Elon Tweeted that it was over 140k. So mad at myself but so happy I did it! Can't WAIT to own this thing!
Great vid my man. As a Model 3 owner myself, I'm just absolutely over the moon with my ownership experience. Never been so obsessed with my car and the Tesla brand in general. I had to sleep on the Cybertruck for a day, but as I learned about its functionality and lower cost of manufacturing, it all made sense on why he made it this way. Trucks are performance and functionality vehicles. They aren't there to win beauty contests. If the truck just does better on a performance and durability metric. Then it's just a better truck. Looks be damned. But because it's so different it's going to turn a lot of heads. And I want that truck!
Hahaha. Well put.
Still thought if your spending a lot of money on a car or truck. You want it to at least have some aesthetic appeal. The truck's design has grown on me. But from some angle I still dunno.
@@kxyoto8541 I can't have any issues with you there. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Look at the F-117. I think that is a pretty awesome looking plane. I think the Cybertruck will have some advantages in specific areas for it being a truck. Its durability should definitely be intriguing. And having that back cover will help its aerodynamic coefficient. I think this truck works well for folks that don't really haul all that much but commute to work in them. And it works in small range heavy towing areas. Even taking a boat to a nearby lake. Probably not so much in the heavy towing over long distances. Gas trucks are still going to win out over convenience in that factor. I'm glad this is another option for consumers. We all win with more options.

CYBERTRUCK = BEST CAR EVER.
I KNEW THIS WITHIN SECONDS OF SEEING IT.
IT SPOKE TO ME.
Same!
When I saw it first time, I was like WTF...after a few days, I ordered one... I start to like it... I know they will make it big and sexy when it comes out in 2022...looking forward to it.
I loved the Cybertryck form the beginning. I love the design, the consept and the "function over form".
To be fair, all concept cars go through changes to comply with a bunch of necessary regulations. Cybrtruk won't be different and I know Elon will make sure it still is kickass! Keep going, Tesla!
It's not 30x (30 times) steel, it's 30x as in "300 series".
I think you are right. Locking in that price on FSD, totally worth it. The truck, also good.
I run a Lawn and Landscape business, the points you made are exactly why I reserved the Cybertruck! The fact that it's so polarizing and attention getting makes it a perfect advertising tool. I imagine a lot of folks will ask questions about it and those people can become potential prospects. And overall I can have fun by letting any future or existing clients check it out or ride in it.
You're absolutely right, Emmett! Now let's get Andrew Yang in the WH, make Elon the Tech Czar and zoom past the knee of the curve! To infinity and beyond! 😃🚀
That’s a future I’d like to see
Yang, yes. Elon being in government, HELL NO. Why would you want to put concrete shoes on the worlds most innovative guy!?!
Yang might ask Elon for advice, but Elon works much better without politics. He wanted to take Tesla private because he was sick of Wall Street telling him what he could and couldn't do.
Make him president of Mars if you like, but don't tell him what to do.
lmao jesus christ this is a horrifying comment. too much contradiction to process... Yang would crumble the economy overnight... people like Musk and Bezos would want him drug down the street and hung in public square... That dude isn't even in the ball-park of reality.. he has the sophomore and freshman votes in high-schools.. I literally can't believe people like him and the other communist are running and people think it wont crumble the economy. I have no worries about him getting in or anything. He wont even pull 1%.. but the fact anyone thinks his plans are positive is on the line of horrifying and hilarious.. If you are one of those team players and have to vote for however you are told to vote... then at least vote Tulsi Gabbard lol
@@nighttrain1565 how would Yang crumble the economy? Is he giving the wealthy another yearly 1.5 trillion tax break like Trump did?
I am buying a truck right now because I need it now. I ordered the cybertruck and doing my research, there is nothing remotely equivalent around.
Your right “I think I want it!”
I want one. The design took some getting used to as I'm a car guy who prefers rounded shapes like the Porsche 911. But, what appeals to me about this CyberTruck is that it's electric, super tough, you never have to wax it or worry about door dings, and it sits up higher so I don't have to worry about scraping curbs. It lots of cargo room, making it even more practical than the Civic Sedan I own. I like this a lot. Price is still high for me at the moment, but I could see myself coming around to it.
#Yanggang2020 #MATH #HUMANITY1st
All valid reasons. The TCT has grown on me since it's intro. Regarding the Volt, that's one reason I kept my Gen 1, it stands out.
Dear Santa, all I want for Christmas is a Tesla Cybertruck and a Yang 2020 Presidency😀
🙏🏼
Sorry, but the Yang thing is not going to happen.
I love all the grown-up analysis and rationalizing, it makes me feel like I'm smart for loving the hell out of the Cybertruck
Love your videos man. I subscribed since your video on Andrew Yang, UBI, and Automation.
Nice! Thanks. I’d make more Yang stuff but my channel is more about all different tech. It I’ll circle back in a bit. Planning a Mars video coming up.
Emmett Short Can’t wait! I came because of Andrew Yang but saw some of your other videos and stayed for your dope takes!
The utility aspect sold me, I'm looking for my next 10+ year vehicle. My Tacoma has been stellar so far just very very very rusty... Love your vid. You are dead on! Cannot wait!!!!!
Lower Graphics = More Speed
😂😂
You changed my view of Cybertruck. Hated it at first look, but now I want you. You did that, dude!
"Form Follows Function" Cybertruck is a no nonsense machine.
No it’s not. It’s Kanye West scopity boop ugly crap that people are gonna buy cuz it’s so “cutting edge” !
This truck has everything a contractor needs IE dent resistant, shatter proof glass, no need for gas or diesel, 120/240v power, can tow up to 7 tons, up to 500miles range. The one thing that it lacks is the ability to add a ladder rack a very important detail for contractors...
I bet they’ll think of that by the time it comes to market. Also I wonder what the range is when it’s at full towing capacity?
James, you can add ladder rack. There spots on the roof the attach the rack. For the photo it: twitter.com/ConfusionerRian/status/1198816245707157505
Thank you for that... I believe it can accommodate a camper outfit but judging by the size of those inlets I can't see it accommodating a contractor grade ladder or pipe rack somehow, they have a much larger base based on the weight that they support.
The cybertruck immediately made every other mainstream car look inferior. Seeing cars go down the road now, I think they are all boring and ugly compared to the CT. This coming decade will be amazing to say the least.
True test for these is range well towing. Tesla model x doesn't fair well even towing a small 2000 lb camper trailer. This my have the same issue expect to lose up to 60% of range when towing.
I got my reservation #😁
These things are going to rule the road.
30X is not Thirty Times, it means 3 0 X stainless steel ( X is a variable) proprietary steel developed by SpaceX.
I would hire a guy who's good in his trade and does good prices!
ok boomer

You’re a killer. Thanks man!! Planning the next one as we speak.
100% spot on IMHO. Bring it on
Yup. Maybe this will influence some other car makers to make some cooler sh*t.
Knee of the singularity curve. Agree with Emmett. I definitely want and most likely will get one.
Like !!! Knee of the curve baby , @AndrewYang
My name is Joe and I pre-ordered the Cybertruck. Where can I pre-order a construction company?
Am I the only one whose going to mention the elephant in the room? Which is...
Can it fight decepticons?
Very cool. I can't wait to learn more about the frunk, side tool bins, and back storage area. So much great potential on this awesome beast of a truck. One other thing I have been curious about is the truck bed. It's 6.5 ft long but it looks like the tail gate can almost be an extension of the truck bed. Possibly making it 8 feet long which would be great for sheets of plywood. The tail gate has tie down slots on it. That would be awesome if they designed it do so. I have so many people saying to me "It can't even carry sheets of plywood". I hope its at least 4 foot wide. It looks to be that wide to me but would be great to get actual measurement.
Yea I hope they release that soon. Seems like something they would not have overlooked.
The vehicle is 231.7 inches long 79.8 inches wide and 75 inches tall - these numbers were shown on screen behind Elon in the presentation.
@@SmartMart1658 that is great detail but I am hoping to get inside dimensions of the truck bed. I want to make sure it can hold plywood and I have a lot of tools for the side storage bins. I really want to know more about those.
@@mtbingadventures1551 I guestimate it to be 5 feet wide based on the external dimensions of the truck. If you use the Motortrend picture of the back of the truck you should be able to do an more accurate measurement. Or you could ask Elon on Twitter.
I ordered one.
Bottom line, they need to get the charging technology, to where it takes 5 to 10 minutes to fully charge.. And it needs to be available with normal outlets. This is the only thing stopping most people, including myself. Now, since it's big enough, maybe they will add in some sort of emergency motor that burns gas to recharge the battery. If they do that, I would be in for sure.
itsGuy buy a Honda generator!

Weird. I’m def running ads.
Well said points!
That chevy volt transition is hilarious, nice job :0
Yea. I was so stoked to get one till it actually came out.
SO glad i watched this. i was going back and forth with my decision on my reservation but there’s still plenty of time. but after seeing your first two points were the exact same things that i weighed as pros for getting the truck, i decided i’m DEFINITELY getting it for my business. awesome vid!
Nice! I think I may use it to advertise my film business here in Hollywood as well! But hopefully the UA-cam channel takes off by then and I can just wrap it matte black or something. Cheers!
The word you were looking for was 'invisible' . Trucks today are invisible. Cybertruck cannot be unseen.
I think you’re right. Elon is a Sarth Effrikan so he knows about trucks aka bakkies!
The cyberbakky 😂
Net so bra! I hope they bring 'em here
What about mileage while towing. Yes it's got great power, great acceleration under load, but a video of towing with another tesla vehicle shows that it cuts in half with a cargo trailer and cuts by 2/3 when towing in hills. An hours charging every 100 miles? This is what trucks do. Will it do it?
I’m sure it will get worse mileage while towing but it can charge very fast. 80% in 15 min.
@@emmettshort I'm reading online that it's 44 minutes to 21 hours depending on the type of charger for the tri-motor
ev-database.org/car/1250/Tesla-Cybertruck-Tri-Motor
Only testing will tell. The X was never really designed for towing and used older batteries and older motors.
I would only hire a contractor that drives a Subaru brat from the early 80’s Dammit.
Haha why??
Emmett Short hey buddy great video I was just trying to be funny, I remember those Subaru brats they were awesome do you remember those? Very unique they actually put seats in the back pick up bed facing backward. Just having a memory of riding in the back with my older brother driving like a maniac

@Emmett Short, no doubt bro’, you’ll be the supercar blonde of the EV/tech world, but male, but brunette, but not super hot, but great communicator and really really smart. So, putting all those buts aside it’s probs fair to say 😜
Good Luck ✊
I'm just waiting for a $10k tesla then thats big money time.
Hahahaahahahahahahahahahahahahah
Excellent commentary / analysis. My only ( only one) negative thought was the danger that someone may interpret a company using this truck as being 'style over substance' - particularly by a company doing ' no nonsense' practical work like plumbing. If they understood the practical and economic benefits then this would not be an issue - but many people have only seen the glossy marketing and not good analysis like yours.
Compare the pricing to other trucks not other Tesla’s. It’s irrelevant.
I would hire a contractor who has a CyberTruck. My first impression would be that he's a skilled worker who is not afraid to bring big attention to himself (and the quality of his work).
My thoughts exactly
you mean he took the first payment and ran away, because only some idiot would give him money when he showed up in his toy truck...
I think the cyber truck is a bit like the landrover defender in that it's so ugly and basic that it's actually pretty
It’s just ugly and basic. Don’t be fooled!
It will scratch and get small dinks but they won’t matter - patina without rust is good. Alternatively such marks can be brushed out for little cost.
Why does it seem like everyone is trying to get folks to like this monstrosity?
This truck simply can't do what trucks are meant to do. If you try towing with an electric vehicle, you're range will drop extremely. A bit over 60% to be exact.
I ordered it and have every intention of buying it as soon as possible. It's a stroke of genius!
I think you are absolutely on point! Great analysis! Tesla really understands the American market. But why is there still no Tesla model that has the largest part of the European market in mind? Basically 85% of our cars over here are small hatchbacks, smaller than model 3/Y. The market for pick-up trucks is literally non-existent. Instead contractors are driving little closed vans. After Roadster, S, X, 3, Y, Cybertruck, Semi and Roadster 2.0 we still have not seen a Tesla model that really caters to our most usual needs.
That weird pixelation at the end had me checkin my monitor
I didn’t have it in me to export again. It took like 2 hours. And I felt like it kinda fit with the montage.
That volt devolution was disgusting. When I saw the cyber truck I thought it looked awesome immediately. My initial impression of that first volt was cool. The third was to say ewww in rl.
Great video. Great points. Folks keep saying Cybertruck isn’t practical and you can’t load from the side - a simple answer to that would be to copy Rivian and have a step sliding out from the body to stand on. Stainless steel of course. Problem solved. Send royalties.
Nailed it
What if you get trapped inside and have to be rescued. How would you break the windows or cut the steel?
CyberJaws Of Life!
Rescue workers will have to start carrying around little chrome balls. They seem to do wonders on the windows. The body will be tough but you can still break the glass with some effort.
ICE truck makers are shaking, 3 box design is so ancient
Trapezoids are so hot right now!
Ya, it might impress some people when you as the business owner pull up to consult about a job in the trades.
And it will be interesting to see what the aftermarkets will be coming out with maybe like lumber/sport racks, slide in campers , camper / utility shells and maybe slide out storage containers .
But seeing on line long trip towing test of electric vehicles isn’t too impressive.
Towing cuts the mileage down dramatically so for any lengthy trips you may need to allow much more travel time to get there and for the extra charge stations.
Emmet I believe you are so right about the 5 arguments you for the CyberTruck in the US, but I am a southAmerican in Bogotá, Colombia and I am looking atr the specs for it in terms of offroad preformance and considering openning business y Guajira an remote desert where the wayu culture dominates and they are a binational groups of tribe between Guajira, Colombia and Maracaibo, Venezuela and conditions are ideal por the cybertruck specially at the prices annopunced.
100% facts, can't wait to have my order filled.
I think the towing capacity is moot since you can't use a gooeneck trailer. Plus it's not modular like the typical pickup. It's more closely related to a large SUV than a Pickup. It's not really useful as a pickup, but is really cool for city folk and doing odd jobs.
Main issue is towing range. The Model X was tested with a 4,500 lbs trailer (it's tow limit) and only had a 120 mile range because of it. This needs to improve for the Cybertruck to be taken seriously among truck owners who actually use their vehicles to tow boats, campers, horses, etc. Because 120 mile range and 45 minute charges are not going to be good enough. Unless Telsa comes out with a battery breakthrough, not sure how they are going to solve this. They can only shove so many batteries in there.
your video style and editing is 💪🏿💯!
Thanks! Wait till you see the next one. Next level.
It's brilliant, people just don't know it yet. I did not lock in self driving. Wish I could have, but I can always add it later.
How do you only have 9k subs! Good content. Don’t forget about us at 100k lol
I preordered the $50k version with the auto pilot. Can’t wait!
Me too!!
I plan on using it as my daily driver/work truck. I currently own a Ram 2500 and I put $20 of gas a day in it. Even if I’m conservative and say that’s 300 days a year at $20 that’s $6000 over 10 years the truck pays for itself in gas saving.
My house contractor said he would buy it in a minute. He makes 4 or 5 runs a day all over town (to the city planning dept, to Home Depot, to Lowe's and to drop his daughter off at school). He spends $100-200 dollars a week on gas. Plus he has to bring an air compressor and a generator to the job site (where they can and do get stolen). He tows some equipment occasionally - not cross country - but around town. Perfect. I personally want it for it being badass and menacing. Its going to replace my 2000 Dodge Dakota.
Yep perfect
Tesla Model 3 - im the safest car ever
Cybertruck - hold my skeleton
😂
Emmett Short tbh its kind of dangerous at the same time, just imagine you, or the other driver makes mistake and you hit someone, or someone hits that armored car... i dont think this would end well
It's not 30 TIMES cold rolled, the X is a placeholder It's 30X, like 301 Stainless Steel, or 304 Stainless steel, but they aren't revealing the chemistry, so they hide the third number with a variable instead.
Was it a guaranteed style and price ? what size air compressor ( just good enough for a tire fill and suspension what is the cfm and tank size ? ) know that it will need mirrors, wipers, air bags - but I also know that it depends on if it’s a light duty or medium duty pickup on the edges and crash design. Is it air bag suspension or air bag assist ?
Contractors need an 8 ft box. Its not about advertising space its about how many sheets of drywall will it haul.
I think that thing is the coolest things since the 1979 Ford pick up and the 2007 Dodge ram Mega cab what would really be cool if somebody would get a fiberglass body on it and make a truck puller with it The looks are really awesome
