- The bulletproof Cybertruck is perhaps Tesla's biggest gamble to date. At $100,000 it's not clear if Elon Musk will be able to sell enough to break even, or even if he'll be able to sell them at all outside the United States. Love it or hate it, the electric truck is turning heads and grabbing headlines.

How Did Tesla’s Cybertruck Become So Expensive And So Delayed? | True Cost | Insider News
As an Army Vet I’ve driven bullet proof vehicles. This is not one of them. I would say it’s bullet resistant.
Certainly won't stop combat rifle rounds, just street thug gang-banger rounds.
For that kinda money, you are better off buying something less flashy with proper armor. You can get a Merc S600 Guard for that kinda money, used. And thats proper VPAM 7 or 8. And if it needs to be an SUV, you go one price class up and buy an Invicto by Brabus.
it says its bullet resistant not bullet proof lol
I'm curious who is expecting to be shot at in their car? Rather goofy gimmick, especially when there's the problem with the reverse situation, getting trapped in an unbreakable car if something goes wrong.
Nice wording, "Bullet Resistant "
I love how they tried very hard to hide their deep bias
You can tell they did a ton of research gathering info from early reviewers and even reviewing the factory tour footage with Sandy Munro. Yet despite that, they still biased their narrative by showing it couldn't operate offroad (later discovered to be driver error) right after showing the car easily go through Hell's Gate at MOAB.
The professor who taught their Journalism 312, How to be Sneaky and Biased, class must be super proud!
They are bias in every single review because it is associated with Elon Musk who the media wants to cancel.
They aren’t wrong though.
@@thesadboxmanthat’s a test truck, as of right now you can’t activate lockers and there is absolutely no traction assist so it would be very stupid to attempt going up that
Noones buying the cybertruck for truck reasons. They are buying it cause its looks 😂😂😂😂
It's an ev truck with bidirectional charging,heavy towing,cargo and all terrain driving capabilities it can't get any less truck stuff than that
@@newguy954 aswell as invincible pretty much ..
No crackhead is breaking into that thing .
@@newguy954 or so the marketing says, but when it comes down to actually doing that stuff, as the video shows, it's not living up to expectations.
@@darkerdaemon7794 is it the owners saying that or is it just you
@@newguy954 Lmao did you watch the video? It's everyone saying. Owners, testers, journalists, other media. Facts don't care about your feelings though I'd wager you're a paid shill at this point.
Subjectively, it's a bad truck. Objectively, it's still a bad truck.
"environmental impact" of cybertruck? As opposed to what? Every diesel truck? or GM hummerEV that has more than 2x the size of the battery pack of Cybertruck but gets less range.
Cybertruck only has a 26% bigger battery pack than the Tesla Model S.
It's actually 23%
@@Sophisticatedduck-po4lp I stand corrected
Most diesels are less bad than most EVs for the environment, it's just that you don't know it because you are not on X but are on platforms which censor the truth which doesn't suit our rulling elite.
Also, the climate change narrative pushed by the EU is a hoax.
Please thumb up or reply to me so I can know with some certainty that this comment is not hidden/I am not shadow banned.
Cybertruck isn't as much of a truck as diesel trucks, actually most ev trucks aren't nearly as capable, I'm sure you know people aren't buying this because of its capabilities as a truck, so not really a fair comparison
The cybertruck will never be successful. It's too expensive and not practical for the reasons why people buy a truck in the first place.
Well it's not for you
@@uromvictor Thanks for stating the obvious 🤣
Faster and cheaper than a Ford Raptor.
And what reason would those be? It carries 2,500 lbs., tows 14,000 lbs., the bed locks up, it delivers 110 and 220 volts, it's very dent and scratch resistant and will not rust out.
@@McClarinJ it doesn't look like Grandpa's truck and make vroom vroom noises. Not too mention the extra not truck like storage. Towing range is actually quite bad but that probably only affects 20% of truck owners.
air fryer on wheels is crazy
Ah yes, the pedestrian killer.
like all cars?
like every car ever made. The only car that can't kill and didn't kill anyone is Nikola Badger. Because it doesn't exist.
@@jaymarkkabo2626 This is based on the fact that the car has Charo edges and an unrelenting car frame unable to absorb any Kinetik energy. This coupled with it's hight is a deadly combination.
@@walli6388 more lies. f350 is higher in the front, and heavier. ct edges are rounded on prod release. less kinetic energy? you're getting hit by a truck either way!! why do you have so much hate in your heart for a vehicle? is it because you were told to?
@@kefs It does make a difference. I also didn't say it was the highest or heaviest. I just stated that the combination is problematic.
Holy cow! 6:25 are we still in 2010 with these talking points.
#1 The Barques Brownlee video was a pre-production model (The front left and right corners of the truck are sharp I'll give you that.)
#2 the cost of Cybertruck is so high because there is so much demand. Look at the model S Plaid for example when it came out it was $140,000 now it's $70,000 because the amount of people willing to spend that much has gone down.
#3 The weight of the vehicle in the American market I feel is irrelevant when other vehicle like the F-250, Rivian, HUMMER EV, GMC Denali weigh just as much if not more than the Cybertruck.
#4 Most people don't drive more than 300 miles at a time so not having 500 miles of range shouldn't be a big deal for 99.9% of people. If you want to tow, just buy something else.
This video is good don't get me wrong. They talk about the very proprietary technology that goes into Cybertruck like air bending, but all of these things are being done in house were their is no middle man to add to the cost. And Cyber Truck isn't the only vehicle that is being produced at GIGA Texas. There's the Model Y and Tesla's upcoming $25,000 vehicle is rumored to be made here as well.
Cybertruck at full load only reaches at 90miles and it doesn’t have a spare tyre. If you drive for off-road, you are done.
When Business Insider now atracks Battery Production for EV.. The world is about to end. Lol
4:36 Wow, it's a electric versus a fossil engine. Of course the electric one has faster acceleration.
its a very misleading advertisement, Tesla truck did not beat a Porsche in a 1/4 race, it's only a 1/8 mile run, after that Porsche pulled ahead.
plus you knock $500 off the resale value of your battery every time you do that
The first one was a Rivian, also an EV
Well duh it not gonna work in snow or ice, it needs chains like any other truck.
Whatttttt you do not need chain to drive on snow.
As if Winter tires didn’t exist
@@user-jm7kc4bm8m I drive a hybrid for over 5 years in the Winter of the Midwest. No chains on my Prius needed. 😂
I am trading in my F-250 to get the Cyberbeast. The Cyberbeast is hands down the best truck every!!!
Even if None of the reservations were to go through Tesla would still had a 200 million dollar loan without interest 😂😂😂
Look up escrow... thats not money they could report as income, use, or leverage against. It was also refundable. Additionally half the people lying saying its 4 years late when its actually 2 years late and mostly because of the pandemic and supplier shortages.
Some people just hate Tesla because some idiots lied about them. I remember Thundefoot calling a 10 ft barricade a 6ft baricade to mislead people about the semis load capacity but thats the same idiot who said the future was hydrogen and SpaceX could never be profitable. And the model 3 "is a fantasy"... that currently has 19% profit margins.
Spot on! I'd write more, but I'm too far behind in my quest to acquire a certain set of NFTs along with some stylish shiny gold sneakers...
@@istdochallesegal3427 LOL, you know this is not going to be understood by the fanboys.
Head-turning-look in this case is supplemented with a comment "what an ugly thing"
Seems like irl ppl seem to love it and keyboard ppl don't 😂
Looks like the Taxi car in Total Recall 😂😂😂
What competitors?
The one Dave Sparks is going to build
😂😂😂
It was delayed 4 years because they had to build the factory to build the cybertruck.
He didn't know that when he stated the original delivery date? 🤣
The CYvertruck wasonly delayed by less than 2 years, not 4 years as stated in this video.
It was supposed to launch in 2020
@@rihasanatrofolo2472 Never. Cybertruck was supposed to come out in 2021 originally and it came out in 2023, two years late. Considering many people, including supposed experts, said it was impossible to manufacture, Tesla is holding to their motto of “doing the impossible, late.” No other automaker could make a Cybertruck in their wildest dreams.
still a failure ..you dont see that many flaws and lies with any other pickup truck.
Uh.. there are a handful of people who ordered the Cybertruck in 2019 and still don't have it lol
@@d0uble_O Yep, after every new model reveal since going public, the stock has gone down. After every start of deliveries of a new model, the stock has gone down. And yet, overall the stock is up over 1000% and Tesla’s Model Y is the best selling car in the world. Were you and your buddies right all those times and the consumers are wrong?
Two million two hundred thousand reservations for the Cybertruck, I think Tesla will have to somehow struggle along with their “failure.”
Geez its so biased its weird and the tone make of the music makes it sound like some kind of end of the world situation haha
Well, it is the end of Tesla for sure, to imagine just letting some rich-coddled-addle-brained-kook with a "i'ma genius" complex run willy-nilly through the funds of a company run by DARPA stiffs was bound to die hard once the funds ran out of their psyop.
coverage softer than a seagull turd and it still sounds like a mess
6:32 but this applies to every electric car?
exactly! maybe they were out of shortcomings to make a video with at least 8 minutes
Well then, it's just another truck then. Why all the hoompla for just another truck in the market?
1:55 The LAST AIRBENDER?
what was the point of the video??? what did you want to convey??
"radical new design"? Delorean was stainless steel back in the 80's. It's just Model Y and X married Delorean.
470mi not 440 and was approx. $70,000 not $61,000 ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ and like everyone else said, there's bias.
"Having to compete with Ford's F150 electric, the Rivian R1T, and the GMC Hummer," but no comment on how that competition is going. Why even include Hummer pickups? Their production and sales are pitiful. Ford has cut back on F150 Lightning production due to lack of demand and inability to turn a profit on EVs.
lightning still outselling cybertruck
Ah, the Tesla truck, the pinnacle of vehicular innovation, where you pay a premium to embark on a futuristic journey akin to buying a high-end smartphone but with the features of a flip phone. It's like acquiring a deluxe, overpriced electric paperweight on wheels. You get the unique opportunity to experience all the drawbacks of electric vehicle ownership, combined with the quality you'd expect from a budget ride at best. Basic features? Oh, those are for the weak. Who needs functionality when you can bask in the glow of trendy inadequacy, right?
It's not about the love for trucks or a passion for electric vehicles; it's about being seen in what's perceived as the vehicle of the avant-garde. It's about signaling to the world that you're not just any consumer, but a trendsetting shepherd leading the flock of sheeple, regardless of practicality or functionality.
In essence, buying a Tesla truck is making a declaration. A declaration that you value the image of innovation over actual utility, that you're willing to ignore the glaring deficiencies for the sake of being part of a "movement", one that's less about automotive excellence, and more about flaunting a badge of modernity.
Ultimately, the Tesla Truck is a monument to our era's peculiar brand of consumerism, where the promise of tomorrow is sold today at the expense of common sense. It’s a badge of honor among those who measure progress not by strides in technology, but by how effectively they can be separated from their money in the pursuit of fashion. Welcome to the future, where looking part of the trend is evidently worth every inexplicably spent penny.
Their negative bias is fun to watch. Quoting videos out of context to make something positive seem negative.
It's very cool, but nobody really needs one. It's too big for everyday use, impractical to park and maneuver. Sure it's electric, but it's inefficient. Sure you can take it off road but the range limitations mean you can't exactly take it too far into the Mojave, or Moab, or Mexico (despite their heavily-edited promo). So while I'd be fun to drive for a week or so, owning one comes down to trading all these practical concerns for showing off.
Thank you for a neutral standpoint report, not too often you see that
Why are many US media outlets suddenly hating on Tesla?
Their waking up to the fact that electric cars are NOT the answer, possibly?
I wasn't financial free until my 40’s and I’m still in my 40’s, bought my third house already, earn on a monthly through passive income, and got 4 out of 5 goals, just hope it encourages someone's that it doesn’t matter if you don’t have any of them right now, you can start TODAY regardless your age INVEST and change your future!

Outperforming porsche in drag race is strached. It took slowest porsche and showed only 1/8 mile. Truck is fast but do not fall on marketing propaganda
It's huge, it's angular, it's boxy... it's ugly!
This vehicle meets none of its initially outlined performance goals, from bullet proofing to range to efficiency to weight. Lots of market research shows we're a dumb species. People would have bought this for its looks if it had performed like a Kia Niro EV. It would still be less practical than the Kia, but it would also have more mass market appeal.
Well, the car body IS bulletproof. It does 0-60 in 2.6 seconds, has drive by wire, 48v electrical system, all wheel steering and tows 11,000 lbs. it is being bought by celebrities and draws a crowd wherever it goes. Awful
I see everyone saying that they're rusting. This is why they cover that steel with paint just like every car that runs on the road?
it's stainless steel. ( does not rust dummy)
Who is everyone? The rust news was fake or exaggerated. It's not rust actually. That's why people still buy it and can't wait to receive their trucks
Your buying into the FUD. It’s rail dust from train wheels. It’s easily removed with Bar Keepers Friend.
Looks more suited on the set of a Mad Max movie
The Tesla towing a Porsche was a bit misleading. Apparently the Porsche was just a shell with no engine etc. Still cool regardless.
Also the tent in 8:26 is sadly misleading by Tesla as someone bought the official one and it is nothing like it and compared it to the awful Fallout canvas bag promise, as the tent is awful and nothing like they showed.
If its already $100k, rather get the ev hummer suv.
get a ford f-150
Agree. Who needs bulletproof doors anyways
either one is gonna make you look ridiculous so get the one they make more than one kind of tires for
Hummer has less range, bigger battery, charges at a higher rate but the battery is so much bigger it actually charges slower, its not as quick, made by a company thats going bankrupt again, and it costs more.
Thats besides everything the Tesla has the Hummer doesnt. Also the Hummer pickup has like half the bed and no frunk... Lets hope the 20 GM makes this month dont get another "park 50ft from homes because it may explode" recall.

'Stupid is as stupid doe'
Saw my first one today. Ugly, huge and...did I mention ugly? Just the dumbest idea that everyone continues to talk about. 'Murica.
Well, in my seven plus years OF LIFE I drew just a thing like this.
TL;DR - COVID-19 shutdown of factories worldwide and supply chains stopping for months.
It's a truck with a range of 90-100 miles when close to max towing capacity, and most charging stations are situated so a trailer can't be attached during charging. That means parking and disconnecting the trailer, charging, then hooking back up. This is just a dumb toy for the rich, like so many trucks being used as commuter vehicles. Elon made it for himself.
Apparently the thousands of people buying it Elon himself?
And how many times have you towed a max weight. And how many people do that with this truck? 2-5%. If you want more range get the extender.
This makes sense. Almost all trucks that you see on the road tow cargo so pull through charging is a must have.
The towing range is similar to the other electric trucks currently available like the Ford F-150 lightning. Many Tesla charging stations DO have towing stalls. Demand is off the charts. Almost all pickups are not used for towing or off road, or even carrying loads. What exactly is your point?
@@mandelm2001 My point is it's a POS truck. Trucks are work vehicles, not oversized race cars for commuters or driving around town. Watch some videos about people setting this thing up for off road use, the suspension parts break over and over. Tesla doesn't even know how to build a truck, having thick stainless steel was more important than a beefy suspension that could support it. And, here in Maine- there are 435 public Tesla chargers. Better hope they're all pull through. edit: And they perform much worse in our long winters. #2 This is just pretending an oversized race car is a vehicle that could actually replace a real truck- for what a truck is meant to do. It will happen, and the priority will be on work performance.
im alrdy seeing many cybertrucks on the road in Houston.
and 7-10 trucks parked at Tesla store waiting to be released.
srry to haters but people will still buy this thing
Nokia car version is cybertruck
Buying a $100,000 truck without driving it first is alittle crazy. I went to the Tesla dealer and they had a Cyber truck there in the show room. You could not touch it, doors and windows were closed. Makes me wonder who would buy a truck without driving it first? Not sure I even want one. But without even sitting in it and for sure I would have to drive it before buying it, that is kind of a no brainer.
The thing is they have over a million reservations and probably they are going to be able to produce only 50k this year, (mass production is not easy specially on a completely new vehicle) This is why cybertrucks are reselling for around 250k. The only thing is there are plenty of reviews online and people testing them in all kinds of ways.
People who couldn't care less to spend $100k. Those initial buyers don't care how it drives. They just care about how it looks.
This is a biased video. The original cyber truck was priced at the Model 3 level of $29,000, not $65,000.
Also if only it was BS proof
rather have a dodge demon or jeep
Its usless against the ar 15
What happens if the power goes out ? Back to riding 🐎
Ahhhhh... Delorean DMC
its not an exo skeleton
Why should anyone buy this but to show off?
It’s to expansive and has a too short range to be a serious threat for other conventional pickups. It resists some bullets but I wouldn’t count on it. Its design is, let’s say “interesting”. Do I have to be an American to understand people buying this steel block on wheels?
This beast is high tech, bulletproof, steer by wire and as fast as a sports car. With every vehicle looking similar, Kudos to Tesla for actually making something outside of the box and futuristic. 🎉
Why tf does anyone need a bulletproof car? Crumple zones exist for a reason, it's to protect pedestrians and passengers.
The future looks like that? Ew.
not only is it ugly, its also dangerous af and its proof that the car market has fallen into boring, ugly and dangerous suvs and trucks instead of the fun cars that we used to have
The pedestrian annihilator looks like it would be fun to drive
your reputation is not optimistic ... you should run to good.
What a stupid hit piece! Mostly ok history but the later stuff is so biased and is purposely misleading. Any truck in snow without snow tires or chains will not do well, the standard tires are rated for 2.5 seconds 0-60 and are not off road tires. Demand has increased since release with Cybertruck being flipped for $250K. The delay was caused by gee, a pandemic? Next year the base model will be sold at around $62K. With inflation that’s not a lot more than the original $50K price. Build quality has improved quickly and those sharp edges now have rubber covers. Drive by wire and 48 v electrical system are industry changing. These are the facts, Google them.
Nice video
I remember having a consultation with a financial analyst last August, and it was incredibly insightful. Can't stress enough how helpful experts in this field are!

But is it going to be rustproof and glass is bulletproof as well ¿ it’d be pointless if not.
nO.
Becauuse its a piece of crap. A well engineered piece of crap but the initial concept and promises made have backed the design into a corner requiring major flaws and compromises to be accepted.
All that wasted engineering effort could have produced a proper competitive electric truck based on the model y platform which could have cost a third as much as the Cyber truck.
The good idea fairy. That’s how.
6:23 that's all EVs can we agree now that they are a hoax?

the ‘cybertruck’ is not a actual truck with real utility, in any practical sense. Cybertruck is an expensive vanity project for Musk, and a dystopian-looking failure.

The price is that because fanboys will pay for it, market research would have given them that figure and the team just have to make up as to how to justify that cost.
