Very surprised and a bit disappointed that SpaceX hasn't made much progress since September 02-03 (this year?). It has been a month since then. I have watched other coverage and the progress this video shows no progress than Lab Padre's October video.
The CyberTruck legitimately looks like the low polygon version of a vehicle in a video game.
low polygon count means better performance am i right?
@@onefreeway75 Not if it's a Ubisoft game.
That's exacly why I hate it. I don't mind squarish cars but the low polygon of an old game look is just ugly.
good for mileage
@@Eradicationist Nope
4 wheel steering, pretty cool!
Yeah
Yeah... Though my dad's cheap sports car in the 90s could do that.
@@boringusername792 they usually weren't rear operated steering though it was more they were just allowed to steer out and in, back then, like the Nissan gtr for example has 4 wheel steering but not operational 4 wheel steering it was known as High Capacity Actively Controlled Steering or hicas.
the time lapse really makes it look like a real "hive" of activity.
I wonder how many pickups Spacex has in their fleet at Starbase. Putting it to work there might be a great way to get in some real world testing of Cybertruck.
All flat, paved ground. Perfect for the kind of driving a Tesla "truck" owner would need.
Same with all those pick-up “trucks” like f-150s tho
@@TheFreeBro who are you quoting? Did I use the word trucks?
Let's test how fast a Cybertruck can go with that engine.
Thanks Sean and Thomas. I love watching the clouds move across the sky!!!
are they really clouds? may I get some for my kofffieeee
low key same
Sean,
Your capture of the tech and nature show they, when framed well can both be wondrous. Thank you 🙏☮️✨♾️
I second that!
The most promissed Tesla vehicle, carrying a part of the most promissed SpaceX vehicle. A living meme 😂
7:17 Let's just appreciate that omniscient water tower, with eyes everywhere 😂
Well THAT was unexpected!
How so?
My 2 favorite things-Starship and Cybertruck! Oh yeah!!!
The Cyber Truck looks like GORT (Gort is a fictional humanoid robot that appeared first in the 1951 20th Century Fox American science fiction film The Day the Earth Stood Still and later in its 2008 remake.)
Thank you Sean!
Great sky action thanks.
7:25 4 wheel steering
Timestamp person had one job. One Job! 🤣
Thanks Sean and the NSF team, great update.
Man I wish I could work there.
What's stopping you?
Some people don’t have citizenship in the United States.
Beautiful❤
Looks like another Tesla free "non-advertisement".
I saw a cybertruck 2 days ago on a transport in Clearwater Florida. It was parked and honestly was a little smaller than I expected.
It was touted to be a full sized pickup truck, but in reality, it's a smaller SUV with a bed. There's no way you're getting 6 adults in that thing.
@@mundanestuff Yeah, not much of a truck, really, but an awesome SUV.
Give Sean a pay rise (I have no idea how the money works with NSF), but he is a great asset, the time lapses, contrast in shots, new angles, everything. A great boon to the team.
The drama of those clouds! Great vids!
9:37 That Rvac looks spiffy.
Excellent!
i think Cybertruck will be the first starship payload, like we knew that the falcon heavy carried a Tesla Roadster as its only payload for the demonstration flight
No, it's confirmed that the first payload will be about 80 starlink sats
That would definitely be a way to literally launch a product.
@@bryanillenberg for another variant maybe...
@@drmosfet exactly dude... 🤣
@@e7studios for the cargo bay door variant, then sure, a cybertruck could be the first payload.
But the first payload to fly on starship in general will be a full set of starlinks.
HILARIOUS😂 That cyberpunk..... omw!
7:24 . . . Cybertruck 4-Wheel Steering demo !
Thanx for the awesome look at the cybertruck! Would be cool to *drive* it! Thanx for ya channel and all brin to us!
I can't wait for the Mars rated Cybertruck!
Not enough room for the space suits.
Are the Grid Fin and Flap Testing Shots at 1X speed or are they sped up? Everything else in the video is sped up so its hard to tell if this is how fast they move in real life. Can you please post these types of dynamic shots at 1X or make note as to what speed they are at? Thanks always for the content!
8:18 There stands Starhopper: SN4 blasted it during a RUD (May30th 2020), SN8 blasted it on landing and RUD (Dec9th 2020), SN9 over flipped and landed with a spectacular roll of fire across the estuary (Feb2nd 2021), then SN10 gave Starhopper hope when it landed but 10 minutes later, RUD. (March3rd 2021), then SN11, through the fog, showered Starhopper with 'body parts', it's nose blowing out and landing at Starhoppers feet (And destroyed Zeu's kennel) (March30th 2021), then Starhopper never had a chance to see SN12, 13 & 14 (they were scrapped) and then a great big Hurrah! when SN15 landed successfully (May5th 2021) and then recently on 20th of April 2023, Starhopper got peppered with concrete.
No wonder it looks so battered and bruised, yet, still stand's strong and invincible and watching the Starships and Boosters come and go. They scrapped SN15 (I know, unforgivable), but Starhopper shelters the workers and shines the lights and transmits signals. Long may Starhopper, the first ship to fly by Raptor, stand as a monument to the beginning of Starbase and SpaceX's steps towards going to orbit.
Nice to have Gary doing the commentry
Star Factory construction goodness
Needs a front hitch receiver.
Looks best with the piercing white lights on the front for sure.
@NASASpaceflight FYI a lot of the time stamps said September, I think its supposed to be October now.
Heck yea!
Nice! However, timestamps say September 😂 not October, almost threw me in a loop
The fact that it's October apparently threw me for a loop, lol
A couple things one where in the world did all those dance come from on Stahopper? Now I know some of them probably came from the first orbital launch attempt but not all of them. I also was wondering if anybody has been keeping tract from when they laid the first piece down for the new mega Bay and how long it has it been since that first piece laid down
Seems like the Cybertruck just became the new Starbase mule!
I think it was just a photo op with CT pulling a rocket engine on a trailer. Or maybe they were just seeing if it could, since they didn't actually seem to go anywhere with it. Maybe tomorrow.
9:30 Having watched starship gazer's video first. I can almost see NSF and them next to each other recording the same scene of the cybertruck 😂
are they started to production in new starfactory section?
Looks like SPMT Driver is quite good job;)
Cant wait for the 2 seater in stamped steel with the next gen unibody.
The rockets can all just sit outside but the truck gets a baby blanket over it for the night
I’ve seen a Rivian truck cruising around here but yet to see the Elin BBQ.
The Cyber Truck is by the most Elon thing I have ever seen at Starbase!
I think he has Tesla's space ship Alien tech plans, and his address is Mars.. maybe, maybe not.
what's Blue Beam?
❤❤❤
I'm trading my Tesla Model Y and Ford F-150 as soon as I can get my hands on the Cybertruck. And yes, I put a $100 on the waiting list a long time ago. Can't wait to get mine!!
Que lancen esta camioneta al espacio para estrenar Starship, seria un evento increíble 💪💪
Definitely would be incredible to watch.
SPMT just came back from having tires rotated and balanced...
Now that's a lifetime job!
❤
Vcs viram? Cibertruk traciona a roda traseira em ré, mudando o ângulo de direção...
Curvas mais fechadas...
Fantástico!
October, right?
@9:00 should have had someone who knows how to work a trailer bring it in, lol
So, fire the raptor and use regen to charge the truck batteries?
Did the editor forget what month it was when adding the captions, or have SpaceX secretly created a time warp? 😃
I can confirm there's no time warp, so probably the first one 😅
Задние колеса подворачивают при повороте 7:28
Starship wasnt testing its flaps
It was waving its fans
Wait, September 2-3????
I assume that great engineers designed the drive train and interior, and Woody Allen designed the body. It looks like polished plywood and plexiglass.
you can see the 4 wheel steering in action.
best way to flex
That roof is structure is incredible. Looks like it can take a huge solar array?
If @nasaspaceflight had that cyber truck during the first launch, they might still have a vehicle and only lost a camera. Hopefully the steel plate holds up and this cyber truck doesn’t have the toughest durability test to date
I think a big block of concrete traveling at 300 MPH is going to trash a Cybertruck, too. It may be stainless sheet steel instead of regular sheet steel and sorta-crack-resistant glass instead of regular glass, but the minor differences are not going to matter to that big rock.
@@briangodfrey7424 ya I wasn’t being literal… i know the cyber truck is tough but it’s not that tough. it wouldve be a fun torture test to witness though
September?
Awesome catch that Cybertruck looks so sleek!
A well designed Ferrari or Jaguar look sleek with nice rounded edges.
The Cybertruck looks bloody awful, and it's not that pedestrian friendly with all those sharp edges.
And 4 wheel steering isn't a new idea. Honda tried it many years ago, but gave up due to the cost and complexity.
@@rogeremberson6464 Physics lesson: No car is pedestrian friendly when they hit you
Can’t i enjoy a car that doesn’t look all sporty like a Ferrari?
@@rogeremberson6464Are you trying to say he is wrong because he said je thinks it looks sleek? You can have your own opinion, that doesnt mean you have to force it on anyone who doesnt agree with you
@@rogeremberson6464 (tl;dr below) Your phrasing implies that a Ferrari or Jaguar is only well designed when it has nice rounded edges. First thing that came to my mind after reading this is the sharp angled front of the 308. Would look a lot more boring and be a lot less memorable with a smooth front.
I wouldn't call the Cybertruck sleek myself, but I find it totally fair for one to do so because of the flat surfaces, not because of its edges. I would even say that the sharp edges help with that, because they clearly distinguish one surface from another which emphasizes their flatness.
tl;dr: What makes a car look sleek is way too complicated to state it matter of fact in a short sentence referencing only one design characteristic.
When is the cyber truck pulling starship lol
probably the same one they had on stage at the unveiling....
They have built a lot of them, they are being spotted quite a bit
Dates say September instead of October
‘n Cyberbakkie. Uit eindelik!!! Love it and hope to see lots more. All spaceX pick-ups (bakkie) must be a cyberbakkie.
I just wonder why how many person-hours of labor were lost that day to people finding a reason to go to that area to gawk at the truck. Admittedly I would have been one, given the opportunity - who wouldn’t??? But the labor lost would have been crazy
Considering the morale boost, it's probably a net gain.
@@L4JP that’s true. Hadn’t thought of it that way!
I bet the next superheavy will send cybertruck to space :DDD
Are they being used as a solution to stop the flying concrete debris?
Why wasn't cybertruck just a '98 tacoma with electric drive train? that's what guys REALLY want. Simone Giertz was on the right track.
Wonder how well it can withstand a saltwater environment?
Probably way better than a traditional car build, since it's stainless steel instead of rustable steel merely covered in rust-resistant paint. Of course stainless steel isn't perfect (I have kitchen knives that are starting to rust), but it does pretty good.
Like, why will they need SPMTs when they'll have CyberTruck? 🤷🏾♂️
cyber trucks are finally starting to be made?
Why is Taylor Swift everywhere now? 9:39
Dummy payload at some point soon (as we saw on Falcon Heavy with the Roadster)?
This time ? It is more likely that it will be Starlinks, even if it means losing some, if it succeeds, it serves as a good test + profitability.
Can we call the SpaceX branded ones "StarTruck"? 💀
StarsTruck
Is that Elon’s son at @9:23 ?
first? nice cybertruck
Love to have one ❤
thought for a second a raptor was to be towed for a photoshoot…
That's what it looked like. Probably getting it fitted out and ready for a shoot tomorrow.
Exactly.
@@imconsequetau5275 Yeah, I saw the photoshoot. Image is everything in marketing I guess. I looked up the raptor weight: 3500 pounds. On flat, smooth pavement. Pretty easy even if that four axle trailer weighs another 3500. But it looks cool. I remember that Tesla had relented to stockholder demand (not mine) and agreed to do some TV advertising. I guess we've just had a sneak preview.
Put on some all-terrain wheels, some solar panels take the doors off = the next moon buggy
Nice thought, but WAY too heavy for the moon.
@@L4JP It'll only be 1/6th as heavy on the moon
@@LordZarano Just downward force - it would still have the same mass and inertia as on Earth. The chassis and motors would be 6X more "heavy-duty" than necessary, putting unnecessary strain on the journey to get it there and the power consumption using it.
Going to give us a who's who of all the pretty people around the truck and RVAC ??
Use Cyber Truck to move Raptor Vacuum... Sure... Why not?
It looks... silly.
If only Mars had those clouds of water vapour.
The sides didn't look very smooth
4ws so he won't have to drive over and traffic obstacles any more! ;)
I could live with the ugly if it were going to be a revolutionary 35k electric truck, but it won't be.
Panels need some smoothing out.
Yep, lots of imperfections that are highly visible.
You can tell nothing important is going on in Starbase when everyone is talking about a Cybertruck carrying things and going around the Launch and Production site.
Maybe the plan is to launch that Cybertruck into orbit, like when a Falcon Heavy put a Tesla Roadster into Jupiter's orbit around the Sun.
No, I heard that when they do send any payload at all, it will be real Starlink sats even if it's risky - they want the full-size V2s up there ASAP.
@@L4JP You are correct, but maybe you should look up Poe's law.
@@lesbrunswick5137 Oh, I guess I missed the joke. There were several other commenters who said something similar (well, not "that Cybertruck" but just "a Cybertruck"), and they all sounded sincere. If SpaceX wasn't in a hurry to get Starlink up there, it's not any crazier of a test payload than a block of cheese or a Tesla Roadster - Elon loves PR stunts.
@lesbrunswick5137, Jupiter is a fair bit out of reach for Starship since ground-launches can only reach LEO, while a fully refilled Starship can only directly reach Mars or Luna.
@@imconsequetau5275 Correct, but I would suggest you take a look at Poe's Law.
I can't imagine the Cybertruck ever being licensed or accepted here in the EU, simply because those sharp corners would cause terrible injuries in any kind of a collision.
Don't worry. The EU version will be enclosed in bubble wrap. ;)
You think the body of your car maintains its shape in a collision? What are you saying? 😂
@@TLawless I'll be specific - in a collision between this vehicle and a pedestrian, the pedestrian will be shredded by those sharp corners.
@@robbannstrom what sharp corners? You mean corners like on bumpers? Older trucks have bumpers made of literal armor and you think this is something to worry about? You're delusional hahaha
The French surrender again@@TLawless
Only had to recharge 3x between Austin and Boca Chica.
lmao
And divide the cost by 9... ;)
600km 373mi 3 stops? LOL
