CyberTrash
CyberCrap
I don't like the CyberTruck aesthetically, but I dig the the anti-DEI vibe it conveys. Well anything Musk is anti-DEI I guess, so yeah I do like it more now after seeing this little piece here. Thanks!
THERE WAS AN ACCIDENT ALREADY. ... IN CALIFORNIA. .. ABOUT 1 WEEK AGO...... CYBERTRUCK WAS UNHARMED. OTHER CAR , WELL IT WENT TO HOSPITAL
One correction. They changed the specs. The Cyber truck is up to 1.8mm thick.
I saw my first Cybertruck a few days ago, as it passed me on the freeway, near Grapevine, Texas. It had all the beauty and grace of a stainless steel trash dumpster.
Yep
I saw one about two weeks ago, that's the uglyiest truck I have ever saw.
It's a fleet/ service vehicle ? It does seem like a good payloader.
@@billyhill727 You'll be seeing a lot more as they have 2 million preorders.
It's called CyberTrash for a reason
Stainless steel looks great on a refrigerator door, until you get a dent in it. Then suddenly, it seems that all you see is that stupid dent.
I never dented a refrigerator ever
@@jjohnson8977 then you haven't lived
@@lapisredux ok that was funny
Yes dented steel looks so much better. Nothing like the looked of a dented steel hood or door ding.
Unless you're shooting it, good luck try to dent this stainless steel..
The stainless body is not good for cars because if you get in an accident, the stainless panels will not crumple, which is needed so the panels will remove some of the energy instead of you taking the brunt of the accident force. Also, the "jaws of life" can't cut through stainless metal, so the emergency crew would not be able to get you out of the car, and every second is important is you were bleeding.
One of many reasons the Euro Ncap would never pass this truck for sale. the sheer danger to pedestrians is a major one as well.
Think about it. If you die on the crash. You won't need Jaws of life or to be rescue out of the car.
That's what Tesla was aiming with this one
You're going at this all wrong. You have your own steel casket after purchasing the CyberTruck. That cost is rolled into the price of the truck already 😭🤣🤣
@@RomnysGonzalezand if you die you can’t sue them for ‘self driving’ crashing the car 😂
Death trap.
We dug our own grave with the cybertruck....most accurate EM statement ever
And a big enough grave to bury billions of dollars
It looks stupid....lol
Definitely his design. Lol
The big advantage of stainless steel is that you need it for mounting a flux capacitor.
Nah, it just looks cool. Doc said as much.
It's the only reason why they do it. They are anticipating the upgrade to that flux capacitor
the big disadvantage of the cybertruck: it's ugly. not cool like the fluxi delorean
No way man . If you don't balance the foo-foo valves with the induction flange BEFORE you connect to the flux capacitor , you'll get cross-mojination . ........ Duh !
🤣😂🤣
My Grandfather worked for Alleghany Ludlum steel for 35 years. Thanks for the history lesson.
If the apocalypse were to happen the roads would be congested and or destroyed. All vehicles get stuck off road eventually
Half the video has to do with stainless steel. NOWHERE does he mention why it's: THE 'DEADLIEST' VEHICLE EVER MADE. It's only @8:20 where he states they're dangerous and it's solely due to their weight.
@@tjmmcd1 Your comment has nothing to do with the OP.
Cool.
Stainless steel was invented in Sheffield England in 1913 by Harry Brearly. Developed further until about 1925 it was close to what is used today.
Charging stations during the “apocalypse “! 😂
Same with gas stations, gasoline doesn’t have an indefinite shelf life. In the Apocalypse it would probably be best to bike or use solar powered EV.
Which means you can't drive it without electricity.
@@animetodamaximum "Same with gas stations, gasoline doesn’t have an indefinite shelf life"
strawman
@@aankwenti Literally isn’t one. Have you tried to use old gas?
charging stations are solar powered... XD
It would make even more sense to build a cyber truck out of carbon fiber due to the recent advances in shaping panels.
Yeah I have wondered why they didn't do that...would provide so many advantages.
But then how are you going to buy stock in the companies using slave labor to get materials for batteries, as well as the companies producing the batteries, and then sell a LOT of fkn batteries..?
The CyberTruck looks like it should be in a 80’s movie, Total Recall!
Or the one with Wesley snipes and Stallone.
@@Katyas-Korner demolition man
That’s too good OP
It reminds me of the thing they drive in Aliens.
I wouldn’t buy that walking trash bucket ….. it shows how people r brainwashed into literal trash …. Not hating just being honest …
As someone who has worked with 304 sst in sheet metal for 20yrs,
Stainless steel is very tuff to work with.
It's dense, heavy and especially sharp compared to mild steel and Aluminium.
As someone that just watched the video above, I can confirm that stainless steel is indeed difficult to manipulate.
@@chrisss9991 As someone who likes to agree with UA-cam comments, I agree!
As someone who reads comments i agree
As someone with a basic understanding of metallurgy. Can confirm
That's why the Cybertruck is pretty much all straight lines and straight bends, instead of stamped. I also think that special stainless steel he mentioned is 301 Stainless Steel instead of 304. It still is pretty similar to 304. I'm in the same boat as you, I've worked with 304, 316 and 416 stainless steel in our applications. I've worked for the company since 1996.
I read a comment about the front bumper of the cybertruck essentially being a giant leaf spring because of how it is fitted. It is under constant load and if it were to "spring" loose it could cause catastrophic damage. Let alone the noted fact that the untrimmed edges are all like potential knives to cut off your apendages on the doors and bed.
I have heard that internal combustion engines are just one long controlled explosion. If something were to go wrong, the car would explode
@@richardgolonka7585 Well all forms of stored energy from TNT to a rubber band have potential for harm. Certainly we accept risk to achieve outcomes every moment of our day. However the stored energy generally serves a purpose to move matter. The bumper just existing is not stored energy with the intent of work load, it is that way due to one wing nuts specific design philosophy. I don't know that as a risk assessment for potential harm it works out.
Sort of the leading edges of the wings of an F-104.
@@ididthisonpulpous6526 The entire exoskeleton of the cybertruck is underload because its all loadbearing. Its take the place of a heavy frame on a standard truck.
One thing you didn't mention about the truck is that it is going to take more energy to move it, whether it be electric or gas. The more weight, the harder the engine has to work, and more fuel is burned.
Also will eat tires like packman, already problem with ev, this tank will just annihilate tires.
Ha ha, Cybertruck has no engine or fuel to burn. Checkmate!
@@OnlyTwoShoes And electricity comes from magic rainbows right? Not at all from coal powerplants, or even diesel powerplants.
@@Dagoth666Ur whoosh
@@OnlyTwoShoes Yea i get the sarcasm but there are realy people out there that think that electricity just magically apears in socket so that`s why i wrote the comment.
The Cybertruck is the ugliest vehicle I have ever seen.
It really is. It's amazingly fugly.
And yet if you saw it on the road you would be taking pictures just like everyone els 😂
@@TristanHutchison They are even worse in real life than they are in photos.
@@ThomasKing19933 ahhh right just don’t buy one. Future is coming mane like it or not 😂 see how much cars have changed over the years?
@@TristanHutchisonIf you like the Cybertruck, that's fine. I don't have to like it🤷♂️
Only a man who boasts he knows more about manufacturing than anybody else alive could ignore all the times other manufacturers tried to build vehicles with stainless, then proceed to build a vehicle that cannot be sold in so much of the western world anyway.
The hubris is amazing.
I saw my first cyber truck parked in a parking lot a few days ago. I thought how ugly it was and honestly I thought it was home built, like a school project or something 😂
It looks stupid, it really does. 😅
There is a UA-cam video of some guys peeling and slicing raw carrots with Musk's mess of a stainless steel middle school project. It is priceless.
After seeing that I tried it with the motorized rear hatch of my Ford Escape, it makes a mess of a carrot too, but not my finger.
This may come as a shock to you, but carrots are not good analogues for fingers...
@@markbeiser Well Mark, did I say carrots are comparable to fingers? That you were able to replicate the carrot test with your Ford Escape (that says much) is irrelevant to the fact Musk Cyber Truck is analogue to a middle school project.
@@jerrylundegaard2592 Yes, because middle schoolers are well known for developing new manufacturing processes and technology integrations from first principles as part of their class projects.🙄
I think it is funny how polarizing the design styling is, especially the silly comments by the haters.🤣
@@markbeiser Clearly, Mark, sarcasm is beyond your wheel house.
That let me thinking about adding a camping burner to the hood and we could use it for our steak in addition to the carrot salad .
That's why there are no compound curves in the stainless steel parts of the truck. While the added strength and mass will make the trucks safer, the lack of deformation in an accident will transfer the energy to the interior and occupants. It will be interesting to see how it does in the insurance institute crash safety tests.
Elon is smiling, while the rest of us are laughing.
It will also transfer the energy into the other vehicle involved in the crash resulting in massive lawsuits
there will be lots of minced meat
Just watch the interviews with the Cybertruck team leaders on Munro Live. The Cybertruck is designed with crumple zones just like any other vehicle.
These guys are part of the same company that rung the bell at the tippy top of the safety charts in Europe with Model S and Model 3. They know how to make a vehicle safe for occupants and pedestrians.
It is really disingenuous for Scotty to compare the Cybertruck to a European hatchback. Compare it to a Chevy Silverado and see which one is safer for pedestrians.
It`s already not allowed to be sold in the UK, it doesn`t get anywhere near passing safety testing.
The cyber truck looks like it was designed by a three year old and a refrigerator box.
That’s insulting to the box
Or Homer Simpson
Hey bro! He is called Elon Musk bro! He is like, the smartest guy bro....nothing can go wrong bro! Because.....reasons...Trust me, bro!
For sure it is not for everyone and beauty is in the eye of the beholder but there is beauty in function as well. These truck will last forever , so you best get used to seeing them. They will be around for the rest of your life.
Right? The first time we saw one on the street we just busted out laughing. We thought it was a joke car. Little did we know...
Remember the initial launch when this supposed exceptional creation represented the future? At this point, a cautionary tale of how a former genius replaced his gift with an overreaching ego and hallucinogenics.
Elon Musk was never a genius. He was born into a rich South African emerald mining family and likes to pretend he's self-made when he's just a trust fund baby with good PR. Hope his business all fail and he becomes destitute and a washed-up celebrity.
The Cybertruck reminds me of the vehicle from a 70's sci-fi, Saturday morning show called Ark II.
The prototype Cybertruck body panels were 3 mm thick, but the production models' are 1.8 mm thick for the doors and the other panels are 1.4 mm thick. The Ford stainless cars were produced at the end of the model runs since stamping the stainless panels would damage the presses after just a few stampings. The Delorean had a fiberglass body with bolted on stainless panels. The panels were very thin gauge stainless.
even 1mm is thick is not bad
So not bulletproof, then!
@@OneTequilaTwoTequila Um NO.
We are Not europe...no foreign gibberish thickness #'s !
@@petersipp5247 4mm is just under 0.16 eagle screeches.
I just want my 2012 mazda 3 to last forever. I hope I never have to buy a car again
It just might. I started with a 1979 RX-7 and now drive a 2014 Mazda 6, before that a 2005 Mazda 3. In all, about 500k miles and my only forced maintenance was a failed A/C compressor on the 3. Very reliable cars. Do proper, regular maintenance and it should last you quite a while.
I fully expect that by the time I get my CT it will be the last vehicle I need to buy. Stainless and aluminum will not rust, the battery will last a million miles or more (I won't need to drive that many more miles in my lifetime) and when I'm too old to drive myself around, it will chauffeur me around wherever I need to go. In the meantime, it might help me make money with energy arbitrage in my home battery. Charge it from panels on my roof for free for as long as I need to except when I take a road trip? Yup, gonna pay for itself over time and last me until I die. I can justify $80k for a truck that lasts me from 50 until I die. Hell, I can justify more than that. Unfortunately, I don't expect to see it for another few years. With luck, the price will have come down by then, as it invariably will.
@@user-qh9lu5cl6nIf you're serious about keeping the CT until you die then be prepared to spend another 80k or more on repairs. Computer chips and long life do not mix.
I expect my 2015 Mazfa3 will make 300,000 miles.
I've got a 2015 Subaru Forester, and I'm planning on driving that forever cause it is getting pretty hard to get a new car with a standard transmission.
I hope this truck never hits a person in an accident
Now there are multiple owners saying they have seen rust on body panels of their Cybertrucks. Apparently the grade of steel is not the same as household appliances, but something lower. There are videos on YT showing the rust.
Most stainless steel I have seen on "big box" store brands of home appliances is pretty thin and low quality. It is not Sub Zero, Wolf, Miele, quality. Usually they just paste a panel on the front, up the cost and call it a day. Open the dishwasher and it is cheap plastic rather than stainless steel. You don't see many refrigerators with stainless steel interiors either.
The problem with the Delorean's was not just performance. They also kept trying to sniff up the white lines on the side of the road.
There was a rumor that the DeLorean was going to get a new hood ornament, too! It was a spoon!
Lol
😂
@@theinvisibleman2070 yes it seems to be. I love it when ppl say and write “I should OF bought a Tesla.”
and their cheapo peugeot- renault engines.
Aside from the stainless steel issue... I for one believe the Cyber truck replaces the Pontiac Aztec for the ugliest vehicle ever made... they even kind of look similar.
Huh? Are you kidding me? That Aztec was a work of art and the most beautiful vehicles since the AMC Gremlin....and the Ford Aerostar...the most aerodynamic vehicles in auto history (owned two).
But the Aztek looked cool in Breaking Bad.
@@rancosteelso get one. Find the Pontiac Aztec and buy it...
@@rancosteel it only looked cool because of breaking bad.
if the cybertruck was used in any movie, it would go from controversial to "i want that movie car" so quickly. it already has that appeal for many people. they need to get the cybertruck into some movie action scenes and everyone who thought it looked ugly would think it looks cool.
remember, design is subjective. if you look at a vehicle and associate its design to other cars and comparing it as such makes it look weird, you're gonna think it looks ugly. but if you make the image of the vehicle show up in a awesome movie, your favorability will significantly increase towards it because you associate that car with that movie, and that ethos of the movie will rub off onto people who saw and liked the movie and associate the car with that experience.
@@MG77740 The Aztec ended up being a costly flop and popularly considered ugly. You're just in the minority.
I have a stainless trailer from 1949 and it looks and works fantastic to this day.
It might not be POPULAR to plan on using a long-lasting car body, but it sure as hell appeals to ME.
Too bad the battery dies in ten to twelve years.
@@edwardschmitt5710 then you replace it like you replace the AAA batteries in your xbox 360 controller
That's kind of the appeal, the savings from not having to buy gasoline, go towards the new battery AND you still save money. Its a win, win. Only downside is lack of noise. But like every other tech that use to be gas that goes electric people always move forward to the newer tech. Too many advantages long term.
@@edwardschmitt5710
Like a stainless steel flashlight, with corroded batteries. Looks nice, but worthless.
@@bettertvreceptionwithfoilf7100 yeah if you can't be bothered to replace the batteries, it would certainly be worthless. Thankfully there are better batteries these days.
Such a statement is true of both electric vehicles, as well as normal peripherals. Try some gold-plated, voltage-regulated Kentli batteries if you're having corrosion issues..
Even though I knew some of this, I hadn't given it much thought. You brought some additional points to light.
Was it a mistake to make it out of stainless? I really don't know.
for the cybertruck it´s literally impossible, to get through german and most european saftey standards...
it´s made to do as much damage as possible to whatever it collides with.... (at least guessed by the ridiculous shape)
And it would require a C1 drivers license (small truck) due to its weight, which I reckon +90% of drivers in Europe do not have. But it would receive 0 stars from Euro NCAP making it unsellable in itself.
The Deloreon was built in belfast in Northern Ireland, it was a brand new factory and had to train staff up from scratch, this had an issue on production before the deloreon company went bankrupt.
It's a lesson in what happens when politicians are allowed near business/manufacturing/sector strategies etc.
~ waste/suffering/disaster.
Thanks, Scotty - very interesting video. What it doesn't have in your usual he-haw, it makes up for in interest.
I absolutely love the graphics Scotty uses in these analysis videos
Looks like Monty python
he pays some pimple faced computer geek $15 per hour to make them even those he's a multi millionaire.
Me too!
I’m sorry I can’t afford such an expensive car. My cars are between 125€ and maximum 6,250€ and I drove over 2,000,000 kilometres till pension.😊
Then take consolation that you're much better for the environment than any Tesla owner.
The environmental damage of manufacturing costs of planned obsolescence are far worse than the environmental impact of cars.
Plus EVs aren't noticeably better for the environment than combustion anyway, i'm not saying EVs are definitely bad, but they're definitely not a significant improvement, if anything.
I just can't drive a car with less then 3 pedals!
No one is asking you to buy a Tesla truck.
I've seen one of the Allegheny Ludlum stainless '36 Fords. I used to drive by their factory and I'd see it sitting outside. Amazing car!
3 ton battering ram where the accelerator can accidentally get stuck. What can go wrong?
Over here in the UK people who had too much money built buildings that had little or no purpose and were called folly’s, this reminds me of such folly’s, no purpose
Ok Iib, time for you to go back to Huffpo.
@@FLPhotoCatcherhateful creature, take all of your politics elsewhere.
Scotty, please explain Cybertruck from an optimistic perspective. I bet you have a lot to say.
no

Stainless steel electrical control panels are supplied with a peel-off plastic film on the outside to protect them from scratches and fingerprints. Unlike a painted car, you can't just repair a minor dent by filling it, rubbing it down to blend in then touch it up to match the existing colour.
You will carry your dent like a badge of honor.
@@coffeefish Plenty of people seem to want their truck wrapped. How long before customers are offered custom bullet dent patterns?
@@coffeefish Sure will. :)
@@CantStopTheSignal337 And the CT is so ugly from the start, so noone will actually notice either.. :p
Hahaha, I just TIG weld the dent and polish it after, way faster than painting
There's no way an owner of a 6000lb Cybertruck can claim to be concerned about the environment.
So as every other truck in america. At least its way better than any filthy loud diesel trucks.
They can however claim to be awesome.
Of course they can claim to be, same with most EV owners. Only a tiny proportion of EV owners even bother to think about what's necessary to build their cars, what's necessary to charge them, how long they'll last, and what the costs are for repairs, scrapping, or 'recycling'. They're like vegans, so long as the meat isn't on the plate, they can feel superior by ignoring all the animal death and suffering necessary for a plant-based diet. So long as they don't see where the electricity comes from or how the car is made/scrapped, they can feel superior by ignoring all the rare earth metals and generators necessary for their EV roadtrips.
@@rslayking1975are you kidding me. You make me believe the saying that 90 percent of ev fans are dumb.
@@sbs-0055 what triggered you this time? 🙄
I think the other issue that could come up with this truck is the danger of those that let the truck battery deplete to unsafe levels thus being locked into a tank or if a malfunction happens with the battery what do you do? One Tesla caught on fire with the driver inside and he had to break the glass to get out, how do you get out of a tank with a raging inferno about to start underneath you?
Great video! I think they made the Cybertruck primarily for the publicity. Even if it won't be super successful, it continues the legendary and "cutting edge" (pun intended) image of Tesla.
I miss stainless steel body trim.
Ideal post apocalyptic vehicle huh? It'll run during a huge EMP, like my fully mechanical pump Diesel?
Bro thinks he could find gas or diesel in apocalypse💀. Gl 💀👍
too bad your diesel truck still has an ECU and that won't run after an EMP either.
@@CGGC0202 Get an education. Either in learning how to read, or understanding what a FULLY MECHANICAL pump Diesel is.
As for finding fuel for the beast. Plenty on hand, and being an old school mechanical pump, will run on just about anything liquid that burns.
@@Grumpy-sy7wrYou know fuel goes bad quite quickly right? After 4-5 years there will be nothing useable left. And mining and refining oil is a very technical, very expensive process. But, getting solar panels to hydro power to charge a car, that’s much more reasonable.
@@scubasausage The thing runs quite happily on used cooking oil. It's not a fancy shmancy high tech new vehicle. 10 year old diesel fuel will run it fine. And those computers on wheels are going to magically come back to life after being fried?
I've been in a collision where the driver side door deformed and was difficult to open, but I could still force it open by bending the sheet metal of the door. I'd like to see someone try this with 3mm thick stainless steel, with the added risk that if the battery is compromised you literally have a few seconds to exit the vehicle.
Someone posted that the 3mm steel was a show car thing. Those manufactured have panels that are about half the thickness, so 1.4mm, The panel in the doors were apparently slightly thinner, so perhaps 1.2mm.
And iirc, if there is no power to the vehicle, the doors don't open. Have fun in a battery fire.
Gas explodes. If you are in an accident, god help you, regardless of vehicle.
How can you use hard adn hard to bent steel body for the passive safety..?
Think it was Jay Leno's show, the designer said 50% of people won't like one to which he indicated Tesla is Ok with that. Aside from ownership, the insurance and repair costs should ensure it remains only a niche market. Be amazed if it ever reaches 250k annual production volume.
lol , it will be a slow ramp but it will become the best selling truck in about 2027 ish
Prepare to be amazed in a year or two then.
It will never be mass produced, it's a marketing gimmick.
I doubt it will reach 25k production volume! It's doomed in my opinion.
@scanspeak00 You sound like Steve Balmer talking about the iPhone…
I remember the stainless Fords at the Minnesota State Fair years ago. Dad explained the drawbacks to me. They looked nice, though. Maybe we need a campy movie that features a Cybertruck. Meanwhile, Flash Gordon called. He wants his truck back.
What did he say the drawbacks were?
The DeLorean used a low grade of stainless steel. I feel better, with my wife in a Cybertruck, than a Rav4... And we have a new Rav4. We're STILL waiting on our dual engine CT, w/ FSD, and SOLAR recharging. Perfect for going camping, or living in the wild for an extended period.
One thing people need to know is the Cyberrust excelerator pedal has a removablw cover one owner had the cover move up and got caught in a notch right above the pedal, it was stuck down
I think he is living the fantasy MFG life, no regulations and his designs are known to be flawed but counting on working the bugs out from real road testing at the public 's expense
So my question is we know EV's burn and from what we've been told from other EV fires once that starts you can't open the windows or doors, so what happens when your bullet proof Cyber truck burns and you can't get out or break the window???
Cybertruck, like all teslas, is made with safety first engineering. They all have a manual release to open the door. You might want to check what kind of cars are least likely to catch fire.
@@louren1951There is an interesting question concerning serious crashes when Jaws of Life and other techniques to rescue trapped passengers won’t work. That’s a totally different matter vs the other Tesla vehicles.
@@louren1951this Tesla is made so safe that it is illegal to operate on a public road. Thanks Tesla for thinking about safety
@@louren1951 - >>>Cybertruck, like all teslas, is made with safety first engineering.
HA HA HA HA HA!!!!!!!
As far as the thickness of the stainless steel on the Cybertruck, the door panels are 1.8 mm, the body panels are 1.3 mm, not 3 mm thick. As a pedestrian, or cyclist pretty much any fast moving vehicle is likely to kill you or make you wish it had.
All that might be true except for one exception: advanced technology. That being modern electronics. This time around we have many electronics nannies including things like pedestrian avoidance systems.
As for crashes, that's already true when big, heavy vehicles meet smaller lighter ones. So that's really nothing new. There's also another very simple solution -- the stainless steel body panels can always and easily be substituted for more conventional materials, from a different grade of steel to aluminum.
One more thing, remember the Saturn car company? They were all made out of plastic. The polar opposite of the Cyber truck, and they didn't last long either.
A couple things:
Deloreans were built using a lot of fiberglass in the construction(like a corvette) of the body with stainless steel covering it all.
The Cybertruck isn't even that safe for the occupants as the sturdy and rigid construction results in a lack of crumple zones. If you have an accident, all that kinetic energy needs to go somewhere, of the frame of the car isnt absorbing it, then the passengers will have to in stead.
Cybertruck is actually lighter than the competitor Rivian R1T electric pickup truck which also happens to be smaller than the Cybertruck.
the hummer ev weighs 2000lbs more than the Cybertruck.
I remember there being something about the Rivian being extremely expensive to repair. There was someone who got a damaged back fender and the repair was said to cost a lot. Don't remember the details, but effectively the repair involved replacing a very large part, a about 20% of the skin. Some one managed to cut out the damaged part and weld in a replacement. Some paint and it was as new, and a lot cheaper than the official quote from Rivian. Now if it had been stainless things would not be as "simple". Experts can do a fantastic welding of stainless, I've seen it. But it takes a lot more than being comfortable with a TIG to make it invisible on a plain steel surface. Actually I'm not sure it's possible. Swapping the whole panel would be the only option and quite expensive.
If the apocalypse does come; How does Musk propose recharging the cyber truck or does he assume the worlds electrical grid will remain untouched?
Solar panels. Build a 20 kWh system and recharge about 5 miles per hour.
Steam-powered generator if you have a property with much of any woodland you have a virtually limited power supply.
Also, If you live next to a river you can build a small hydroelectric waterwheel.
Oh, I almost forgot to mention wind turbines that's another source of electrical power.
If the Apocalypse comes where are you buying your gas?
@@brandonhallam51 Barter Town!
This is the greatest innovation in automotive history since the Edsel and it may break their sales records, too 😂
The Edsel was much better looking than this ugly Cybertruck.
@@franknew9001 True. Also, it was only in production for 26 months, with 110,000 total sales. Only time will tell if the Cyber**ck will surpass either of those records. If it does, then P.T. Barnum was correct.
What type of tires do come on the truck. Special??
Only one type according to MKBHD
I love the clause that an owner can be sued if they sell it
That's a Tesla bluff, that'd be thrown out in an instant in court under first sale doctrine.

I saw an overlap side view of the Ford F150 Lightning Pickup vs a Cybertruck impacting into a solid barrier. In frame by frame they demonstrated point of impact, and then showed how the Ford was absorbing the damage and visibly crumpling into the barrier as the speed was slowed down. The CT did not do too much crumpling at all by comparison until the truck could not move forward anymore and the occupants fully absorbed the sudden stop from 35 plus mph. Based on the data from the dummies onboard, it was established that the Lightning's occupants had a better than 80% chance of survival over the Cybertruck. It's the same theory behind why skydivers wear parachutes, why stuntmen land in piles of pads, and Formula 1 cars have the gravel runoffs around some challenging corners on a track. When skydiving, it isn't the fall that kills you, it's the sudden stop at the end.
I like the aesthetic and saw marques bronwlee review. I just saw a dead money pit truck, plus it worried me for the passengers as well as the saftey of others.
Work with stainless steep every day for 20yrs. It's king
Curious as to insurance costs.
Probably as high as some DeLorean drivers.
I bet through Tesla insurance it'll be reasonable to great.
I’ve heard between 240 and 460

How many times was "stainless steel" mentioned?
Ill buy you a beer...
23 times by now. Buy me a beer please!
Galvanizing is good at rust prevention, up to a point. Not everyone is going to keep a car on the road for forty years, like a collectible 911 or Corvette for example. The zinc coating on galvanized steel works on the sacrifice principle and when it has given up all its ions, rust can now go to work on the underlying steel. In a world where cars get scrapped after five years because they won't pass the roadworthiness test, stainless steel seems like unnecessary overkill. But let the consumer decide.
During the cybertruck unveiling, i was eagerly awaiting their removing the plywood panels to reveal its true form...
Next video, why mega castings are an insurance nightmare…
Drove a Cybertruck... amazing truck!
It's a myth that stainless steel has a higher density than carbon steel and mild steel. Or at least the difference is miniscule. For example, the two most common construction steel grades, S235 and S355 has a density of 7.85 kg/dm3, while stainless steel 304 (used in the Cyber Truck) has a density of 7,93 kg/dm3. That's a 1% difference. Pretty much all steel qualities' densities, stainless or non-stainless, falls within the range of 7.8 to 8.0 kg/dm3.
You sure? There's a big difference between 410a, and 440a steel. This steel is made to get past the Earth's heat shield. What does Toyota make theirs out of?
I'd like to know how to charge an EV post apocolypse. Solar charging would take weeks. Great idea; 100-200 miles of driving 1 or 2 days a month...if you can take your solar charger with you.
No, no. They prefer to keep it in secret how they're gonna cover you, and that secret technology is just for that special occasion.
I'd like to know how most will get their gad from the middle east in an apocalypse...
Petrol will always be a leash on society... until an apocalypse, then you get squat.
Electricity has many ways to create.
@@frank254100 Fair question but combustion cars can be converted to burn many fuels other than gas. Only reason it's not more common is because of energy density & why burn off more carbon for less power.
@@GWAForUTBE I wasn't bashing solar power. Solar power is awesome. Huge battery EVs on the other hand are mostly an energy burner that would take ridiculous amounts of time & energy to charge. They already take too long to charge, and that's with an electric infrastructure. It would be different if we were discussing something much more efficient, like an electric KEI car. With a small battery and greater efficiency a trickle charge from solar panels might work the treat.
The original point of the stainless steel was to support a minimalist exobody construction that would lower production costs. In the end, they didn't get it - it ended up being a (mostly) unibody design anyway.
No, the original idea behind using SS was to be edgy and make a statement. Anyone who has worked with any production will tell you that painted mild steel is way cheaper..
This is pure Musk - form before function.
@@cccmmm1234 No, the stainless steel was actually chosen after the 'car' was 'designed'. (I still believe this was just a prank)
@@beernutsonline with Musk everything is done for image. Nothing is done for solid engineering reasons.
Hoovie Garage just found spray issue when take off a hood , liquid leaking inside, grounded connectors not protecting flea near a wheel. Cheap plastic what is cracking now, and a weird inside painting code as not protected inside
unlike other stainless steel cars they don't use space-grade stainless steel there is a pretty difference between the grade of stainless steel used between the DeLorean and the Cyber truck.
Correction in order, not 3mm thick, that was the plan. It fell through. 1.8 mm at the thickest, most is 1.4 mm.
I did not fall through, they were able to make it thinner and lighter while still keeping the hardness.
@@robarjayglass is hard...especially when the window rolls down a little. Durable might be the goal, here.
Don't let facts get in the way of a good story
I made the same comment, it's a very important distinction
3mm stainless would make it INSANELY heavy. That was a really stupid suggestion from the start. Up to 1mm stainless is still super tough, easier to process and will deform in a collision to absorb impact as referenced in the video. The savings of not needing paint or corrosion protection treatment are significant. Metal fatigue may well become a future problem though.
You stated the thickness of the stainless steel on the Cybertruck was 3mm but in fact it is only 1.8 or 1.3 mm now.
pffft, tiny facts. it's just like third of the car's weight. nothing important.
@@ivoivic2448 So why are other fully optioned ICE trucks heavier?
@@glennrmarks i was being sarcastic...
A truck is supposed to be practical and something used for work for the most part. I know I use mine for commuting but I also use it for hauling stuff sometimes on the weekend. The Cyber truck is simply a vanity item
Most trucks are vanity items tho. Almost no one really needs to tow 10000lbs or carry 1500 on an open bed. Yet the Ford F150 has been the most sold vehicle in the USA for multiple decades. People here want practical but also equate minivans (an actually practical vehicle) with getting their balls chopped off... Fragile masculinity is so real here it's ridiculous 🙄
Couldn't you commute in a smaller, more fuel efficient vehicle and keep the truck for when you actually need it?
Kills me that people say the Cybertruck is impractical and yet drive a gas guzzling truck to work for no reason. the Cybertruck costs about 5-6 cents per mile to drive, but an F150 (assuming $3.50/gallon and 17.5 miles/gallon) cost 20 cents per mile. That is almost 4 TIMES more expensive to drive PLUS more maintenance. Many people buy fancy supped up F150s for 60-70K (not that different from a dual motor Cybertruck). When you do the math, the cybertruck just makes more sense.
Only exception being those who need to tow. EV trucks just cannot do that long distances. But honestly how many people buy a truck for that purpose? @@giansideros
It doesnt require gas and it has a box. Seems practical for everyone in the city that would like to have a truck box to haul stuff every once in a while but hates that gas is so expensive.
I always wondered why the cars body wasn't made out of stainless steel. That would seem ideal but it is super hard to work with it seems.
It makes sense to have a car thats not for the city but for country use. Traveling trough tough terrain and transporting cargo with tough steel construction that could work for decades without falling apart.
people have been doing just that for over 100+ years without SS construction; not to mention fighting wars in all terrains and weather conditions.
👍👍👍👍Great job with this posting Scotty thanks 😎😆✌️👋
Wow, Scotty this was brilliantly done. Civilians in tanks, other civilians in EV’s.
A small vehicle can have good crash safety ratings but physics will always win
Whats wrong with driving in a tank?

@@MarkSmith-js2pu So stop making f250 and 350 and any other large vehicle that's on the road? Cyber truck is not the first heavy truck on the road that's built like a tank.
@@Ricks_Tech_Talk he advertises that it’s fu…… bulletproof.
I taught my Year 10 Metal Tech class the pros n cons of differing steels for car production. Stainless is a problematic material for all of the above reasons
great vid BUT, you didn't mention one of the main reasons for stainless. Skipping the painting process is a huge savings. Cheap shot not mentioning it.
kinda reminds me of the model T, you can have it in any color you want, as long as it's black.
Some are also wrapping and therefore making the truck easier to clean. I think we'll see some very interesting applications.
its probably a lot cheaper to make normal painted cars. it made sense for jumbo jets because they use lots and lots of layers of paint and are very big but it didnt make sense in the long run because the paint protected the fuselage
Scotty, these trucks are build for Mars

@@snakeeyes9246 Lol you're drowning in rising sea levels either way. EVs aren't going to change that.
I'm not saying EVs are definitely bad, but they're definitely not significantly better for the environment than combustion. There's pros and cons either way.
@@alkaholic4848They’re worse for the environment. You have to dig 10,000 acre 300 foot deep lithium mines to make them and you burn fossil fuels to charge them.
@@UltraMagaFan I'm with you on this i just think it's such a complicated topic with so many different aspects to it, that it's difficult to prove and quantify.
But i can say with confidence (and i'm sure we agree) that anyone who thinks EVs are some kind of environmental saviour are completely deluded.
the frunk is a good automatic carrot slicer and the doors work well as carrot peeler, its not a practical kitchen appliance cause of the charging thing.
Cybertruck vs ram charger truck with an engine as a generator which one is better?
MY CAR BETTER BE MADE OF TITANIUM OR I'M GOING TO GIVE EVERYONE A PROBLEM AND NEVER SHUT UP ABOUT IT.
the rigidity of the ss in the hood/front compartment means that in any time of at-speed front collision, the passengers will be at a higher risk for significant head injury. the whole point of 'crumple zones' is to absorb as much of the impact into the vehicle body & dissipate the force before it reaches passengers; if the front doesn't crumple sufficiently, then more force is transferred thru to passengers.
When was human safety a concern to Melon? All he cares about is his product success and stock market. He will try to convince you in advance that if you don't own Tesla in 3 years, you are crazy and make ridiculous statements to make the stock values artificially shoot up.
Can you comment on cyber truck rust problem
Does Cyberrust explode batteries explode and cause hard to put out fires because of batteries?

Scotty, I truly appreciate your input, but I respectfully disagree with your argument regarding weight limits. There are numerous vehicles on the road exceeding 7,500 pounds in weight. Nonetheless, I completely agree with the remainder of your points.
I initially was very excite about the cybertruck. Then the range limitations and my perception of its performance in snow made the cybertruck far less appealing. I love my Silverado. However, your video, highlighting the danger to the public has rekindled my curiosity about the truck. Personally, if I am in an accident, it likely will not be my fault (professional driver with zero accidents in a commercial vehicle for decades)...I want the car that hits me to pay dearly. That my friend is a selling point.
Also factor in that Tesla owners are gonna buy them, scary! 😂🏁
That is better than the Tesla haters, who's elevators don't go all the way to the top.
They are beginning to rust.
I’ve seen these things painted too. I didn’t think you could paint stainless steel.
Excellent video!
