as far as I know, the delorean was also critiziced in its time heard someone say "the delorean is there as a joke, it was supposed to be futuristic, but everyone hated it, it had so many problems that if they made back to the future today they would use a cybertruck, its just the perfect analogy" then I remembered Marty seeing the delorean for the first time and going "(?) A Delorean?" with a "uh really???" face and everything clicked

I heard your last line the way Tommy Boy was asked if he ate paint chips as a kid... And picture those drivers answering exactly how Tommy Boy did, with a laugh and "Why?" not realizing the skewed perspective of "best vehicle I've ever owned" is when it's pintos and pacers that they've owned.

At LEAST 80%. So many guys buy one to let everybody know that they're "a real man." Seems pretty bizarre to me. And that they have gotten so big... I recently bought a Tacoma. I wanted a new small truck like one of the older Rangers, but they don't exist in the US. I just need to haul mulch occasionally, or pick up some lumber from the hardware store. That Tacoma is as big as the old F-150, and the new F-150 is as big as an old F-250. I guess it's just domesticated men desperately trying to tell the world that they haven't been neutered or something.

Pop up headlights are not banned. Car companies weren't allowed to design their own headlight so when they stopped complimenting the design of the car they started pop-up so they could hide the headlight. Now that car companies can design their own headlights there's no need for pop up.

Google "DeLorean rust" and, while it's a smaller sample, these cars that used 304 stainless steel don't have the rust issues after decades that Cybertruck does in a few months. Elon won't say what the steel is, just "30x stainless steel". Theoretically, it's similar to 304 stainless but obviously it's resistance to oxidation corrosion is much different.
These manufacturers genuinely seem to believe that regulations exist only to annoy them and cut into their profits, instead of to, y'know, keep people safe
You see, Elon was actually designing the optimal vehicle to minimize a pedestrians chances of survival upon a collision with its razor blade like features.
On the contrary, the cyber truck has a sloped hood and windshield. All other trucks have a tall flat grill at the front. Your body will take the full force of the truck grill. In the cybertruck you at least have a chance to slide up the hood.
Noticed a pattern here. - Elon Musk companies (yes all of them) claim in their adds some breakthrough technological advancement, new concept, redesign, upgrade etc - People and fans are getting excited, waiting for the new release - On release the tech doesn't deliver and is sometimes even worse than the competition - "bugs will be fixed and "child-sickness" will be healed with time" fans claim - some bugs are indeed fixed but the core flaws and mechanic bugs remain - every fanboy continues to quote the first announced adds before the tech was released, overlooking all of those unfixable flaws. So the praising of "breakthrough technology" continues until Musk companies announced another bs and the cycle continues

I'm glad you pointed out that trucks and semis are not really supposed to be able to accelerate like sports cars. That just sounds extremely dangerous for everyone on the road.
Exactly! I was so confused watching the tesla semi presentation when he was bragging about its acceleration times and speed compared to diesel semis. All while conveniently neglecting to talk about towing capacity, braking performance, charging logistics, and all the other stuff that actually matters for a semi truck.
Whole SUV popularity is a huge mistake. They need electronic stability assist that almost stops them in any emergency manuver, just so they don't roll over. Citroen Xantia was safe, because of all cars that ever existed, it had the highest both entry and exit speed in the Moose manuver, meaning it was most capalbe to dodge collisions as long as the driver was capable. With modern electronics it could do this even with noob driver thanks to super low gravity center and active suspension that annuled bodyroll and reacted to weight transfer, but public popularity went the opposite weight. Instead of nimble and capable, the public went big and cheap.
The Semi does NOT accelerate like a sports car. But it accelerating at a REASONABLE pace is far SAFER re traffic flow. It having enough power to go up hills reasonably so as not to need special truck lanes on ANY meaningful hill (for example) is ALSO good for overall safety. It sounds like you have no idea what you're talking about. And I agree with pretty much everything in the video by the way, but re the semi, facts and logic exist.
My favourite thing about the Cybertruck is that I will never see one here, because we have pedestrian protection laws that say "no, your car can't have a sharp edge on the front"
It is unquestionably brutalist. The thing about brutalism in architecture is that it is called that because the raw concrete aesthetic. Raw steel aesthetic for a car is exactly what brutalism would be for cars.
@@ehfoiwehfowjedioheoih4829 oh really well i work on aircraft so i can actually judge this. Its not aerodynamic the Fairly Battle is more aerodynamic then this thing.
As a classic car enthusiast, I understand that all modern cars must comply with strict regulations, even regarding the impact of a pedestrian, and therefore the designer's expression is necessarily limited compared to cars from the 70s/80s. This Cybertruck seems to be designed specifically to leave a pedestrian with no chance of escape in the event of an accident. This is also why we won't see it (fortunately) here in Europe.
@@johan3612n This is really a result of people who don't want to look out for one another. Drivers do not want to give into smug urbanists and urbanists do not want to give into smug drivers. You can easily say these cars are unsafe for pedestrians as easily as you can say that bicyclists and pedestrians should pay more attention to the road. But no one will change laws to make things less nonsensical. There will be a ton of Ralph Naders who will complain, with good intent, but a lack of actual knowledge of the subject matter.
The amount of sunlight reflected off the front of those things is INSANE. Its like looking directly in a mirror pointed at the sun. How is the design of it even legal???
@@soapsatellite I've seen a couple in Tucson. I'm assuming they keep gloves on them at all times when it's 110+ degrees. Even standard painted fiberglass gets hot as hell.
As @VoxAstra-qk4jz said, besides, selling a truck makes them money $$$. Lawsuits due to poor design make them lose money $$$. It is all about the product. Once you buy it, good luck.
I thought it was bad because the truck puts its own driver in more danger due to not collapsing in on itself. If it actually has the advantage over other vehicles then isn't that a good thing?
@@YOTSUBA_desuCrumple zones exist to mitigate shock from impact. If two cars designed to crumple hit each other, it'll soften the blow for both parties. If a crumpling car hits, say, a lamppost, it will also soften that blow. However, if a Cybertruck hits a crumpling car, it'll be like that car hitting a brick wall. If the Cybertruck hits a lamppost, your head may just snap clean off your shoulders. With cars, you never want to have an "advantage" like that because it isn't actually better and is in fact more dangerous for both drivers. TL;DR: It's a tank that can do highway speeds. You don't want that on the streets.
This truck is, to me, Musk's ultimate ego trip. The guy thinks he's some galaxy-brained super-inventor because he has the money to go "make an electric car that does x, y, and z" to a group of people who then do all the actual legwork. Previous Teslas were probably left more to the engineers, who knew better than to make rectangular meme machines with extraneous features that nobody wants or needs. The Cybertruck, on the other hand, strikes me as something that Musk kept interfering with. I can just picture Musk constantly demanding questionable styling and engineering choices, overriding the better judgement of his engineers because he though he knew better than all of them.
According to the easily impressed Walter Isaacson, the genius Elmo said "Make it out of stainless steel!" - one of the dumbest design decisions of the lot.
@@markburmeister4674 Go put your money where your mouth is and lease one then. I'm sure that after owning "the most advanced truck available today" for six months you'll get a much clearer picture of what Elon Musk is actually doing for America.
Honestly another stupid thing about Tesla is that they try soooo hard to make their interiors as simplistic and boring as possible to the point it’s actually affecting efficiency like I really don’t understand the obsession with hyper minimalism or the over reliance on a screen to control everything
For real, touch screens are so antithetical to safe driving. There's no tactility at all, so you have to look at them to make sure you're touching the right thing. I can't understand how it isn't flat out illegal to make a touch screen control any feature of a car.

I've heard people mention too, the biggest reason you don't want a Cybertruck for towing (ignoring range) is that the trailer brake controller is on the touchscreen. If your trailer is starting to fishtail, you need a physical control immediately available -- you don't have time to go through five menus with no tactile feedback.
To the question about "how it can be sold in the US" at 27:00 - the answer is because it is apparently classed as a "limited run". Apparently in the USA, if a car is being sold in only limited number it doesn't need to pass any of the normal safety tests, and so they apparently won't test it until it has sold a certain number of units or has production capacity to fulfull a certain number of units. Which is insane. "Oh a few thousand deaths is fine, call us when it reaches the 10s of thousands"
Notice how the headlights are apart of the frunk? Technically that’s illegal except on limited production cars because the headlights aren’t supposed to move with any body panels. Same thing with supercars.
honestly i think the most funny thing about the cybertruck is how the panels started rusting after a couple months while things like the deloreans still have perfect panels after like 40 years
@@ResistanceForever Do not wash your car in direct sunlight. Immediately wipe off bird droppings or road salt. Do not use certain types of car soap. (It will stain your car)
Honestly, I miss the days when cars had hard lines before they all started looking like computer mice. But the lines on the Cybertruck are ......... interesting to say the least.
If I wanted an impractically large, all-terrain vehicle with high towing capacity, bulletproof steel paneling and a "cool" factor, I'd just buy a decommissioned Army HMMWV (Humvee). The parts and maintenance manuals are already readily available for everyone, and the vehicles themselves are way way cheaper. And they come in a variety of different colors!
Humvees are in no way bullet proof or even bullet resistant unless you get one of the uparmored ones from the GWOT but at that point they become even more gutless and unreliable than they already are.
The HMMWV is NOT bulletproof and sports a GM 6.5l diesel with all of 205 horsepower (turbo version) to move 14,000 pounds. It has a 0 - 60 time of over 20 seconds and a top speed around 80mph. It is rough, loud, uncomfortable, unreliable, and perfect for you.
Californian here. There are honestly A LOT of these on the roads now, to the point that it isn't shocking anymore to see one. They are the ONLY 4 wheel vehicle other than cop cars that make me change the way I drive. I would feel safer being tailgated by some d bag in a lifted Ram than I would even being in the vicinity of a Cybertruck. They are VERY large and it's obvious that they have enormous blindspots. I know for a fact that the solid metal body would obliterate my car if it hit me. And knowing about the accelerator pedal defect makes me actively avoid getting in front of them; I've even switched lanes when one merged behind me. Truly the worst vehicle to share the road with to come out in a long time.
The one "nice" thing I will say is that I've seen a few with what I'm guessing are aftermarket paint jobs or wraps - one black and one yellow - those honestly looked kind of cool.
You are misinformed. They not only have crash-avoidance technology that the typical truck does not, they also have crumple zones to lessen the harm of an accident. They are also no larger than any full-size Ford or Ram truck. You actually managed to be wrong about everything.
@@markburmeister4674Dude, have you actually seen this thing in action? It REALLY, REALLY does not crumple because of the "grr super tough metal siding" so that if you get hit by one, both you and the driver are just plain screwed, you can see so on crash tests how little it actually crumples. Also, having "safety features" doesn't mean shit when it's a fast, heavy behemoth with complicated technology that can (and will, and have in the case of the recall) fail. Random tidbit from another Californian: The caution is also very warranted. Tesla drivers (not all, but a notable amount) have a wonderful habit of haphazardly merging into lanes and running stop signs, even in heavy pedestrian areas.
To be strictly fair to Elon: Apple did that with both computers and phones, broke them and put out worse more expensive products. Suckers bought them in the millions only for the marketing. At this point Apple could sell a $ 200 brick stamped with their logo and their fans would queu up at night to buy it while rabidly argueing 'all other forms of brick and stone are obsolete now'.
Knowing Elon Musk, he'd probably announce on a whim that Tesla cars won't have wheels anymore, and then one year afterward, he'd suddenly "solve the problem of their cars not moving" by "inventing" wheels for it again (except he'd call them something like "The Giga-Circle" or something)
I saw one yesterday for the first time while I was driving on the highway. It sticks out like a sore thumb, and not in a good way. It looks like a car you'd see in the background of a video game, and then you use noclip to get closer and it's just a rectangle with lights

He still mentioned in the Semi unveil because brakes are probably the most frequent maintenance stops semis have to do and it's not cheap to do on a big fleet, so it's a big thing for logistics companies and truck drivers as well. going downhill on a fully loaded semi is stressful af because if you overheat the brakes, you only stop at the bottom
I managed to get a 2003 Ford Focus 5speed manual clutch to last beyond 166,000 miles without fade. Also a set of factory brakes to last past 90,000 miles before change.
@@tinetannies4637 Yes, because the point of regenerative braking is that the physical brakes don't get engaged unless you're braking hard. There's much more mass on a semi, but there would have to be that much larger a generator and batteries as well.
@@tinetannies4637 yes, especially if you use the driving assistant systems which "break" early. But if you control the gas and breaks and you break late and hard, it has basically no effect. But breaks in traditional cars also last longer, if you break early and soft.

I'm an EV guy who long ago ditched the 4x4 SUV and placed my cybertruck order within seconds of it going online. I was thinking with 500 miles of promised range, I'd finally be able to take an EV off-roading here in the California desert, like I used to do with my ICE trucks. Then out came the 200 mile useful range at double the promised price, and it's just a no-go. So I cancelled, and now that I see it's basically a rolling meme, I'm glad I did.
Even with fanbois, Musk can only just lie and spew nonsense for so long, and things will catch up to Tesla. They should focus on what they're good at -- but Musk is too scatter-brained, and the BOD can't control him. He's mostly the opposite of what a good large corporation CEO should be. He should be chief engineer or something -- and have to get his "big ideas" by management's practicality, cost, and facts filters.
@@rogergeyer9851 Problem is that Musk is not an engineer. He is a fucking idiot and the only thing he's admittedly good at is self promotion. Almost everything Musk ever proposed was a) an old, thoroughly tested and found lacking concept (like the vactrain) or b) just incoherent rambling with no connection to reality (like the mars colony).

- People and fans are getting excited, waiting for the new release

- some bugs are indeed fixed but the core flaws and mechanic bugs remain

I'm glad you pointed out that trucks and semis are not really supposed to be able to accelerate like sports cars. That just sounds extremely dangerous for everyone on the road.
Especially when weight determnes stopping distance more than anything else. So you can get into trouble faster but still be to slow to avoid it.
Yeah, you don't really want that.
Exactly! I was so confused watching the tesla semi presentation when he was bragging about its acceleration times and speed compared to diesel semis. All while conveniently neglecting to talk about towing capacity, braking performance, charging logistics, and all the other stuff that actually matters for a semi truck.
Whole SUV popularity is a huge mistake. They need electronic stability assist that almost stops them in any emergency manuver, just so they don't roll over.
Citroen Xantia was safe, because of all cars that ever existed, it had the highest both entry and exit speed in the Moose manuver, meaning it was most capalbe to dodge collisions as long as the driver was capable.
With modern electronics it could do this even with noob driver thanks to super low gravity center and active suspension that annuled bodyroll and reacted to weight transfer, but public popularity went the opposite weight. Instead of nimble and capable, the public went big and cheap.
The Semi does NOT accelerate like a sports car. But it accelerating at a REASONABLE pace is far SAFER re traffic flow. It having enough power to go up hills reasonably so as not to need special truck lanes on ANY meaningful hill (for example) is ALSO good for overall safety.
It sounds like you have no idea what you're talking about.
And I agree with pretty much everything in the video by the way, but re the semi, facts and logic exist.
My favourite thing about the Cybertruck is that I will never see one here, because we have pedestrian protection laws that say "no, your car can't have a sharp edge on the front"

It includes all those stupid regular trucks too.

As a classic car enthusiast, I understand that all modern cars must comply with strict regulations, even regarding the impact of a pedestrian, and therefore the designer's expression is necessarily limited compared to cars from the 70s/80s.
This Cybertruck seems to be designed specifically to leave a pedestrian with no chance of escape in the event of an accident.

@@YOTSUBA_desu The "advantage" is that you kill the other driver when you hit them.
@@YOTSUBA_desuCrumple zones exist to mitigate shock from impact. If two cars designed to crumple hit each other, it'll soften the blow for both parties. If a crumpling car hits, say, a lamppost, it will also soften that blow. However, if a Cybertruck hits a crumpling car, it'll be like that car hitting a brick wall. If the Cybertruck hits a lamppost, your head may just snap clean off your shoulders.

Apparently in the USA, if a car is being sold in only limited number it doesn't need to pass any of the normal safety tests, and so they apparently won't test it until it has sold a certain number of units or has production capacity to fulfull a certain number of units. Which is insane. "Oh a few thousand deaths is fine, call us when it reaches the 10s of thousands"

If I wanted an impractically large, all-terrain vehicle with high towing capacity, bulletproof steel paneling and a "cool" factor, I'd just buy a decommissioned Army HMMWV (Humvee). The parts and maintenance manuals are already readily available for everyone, and the vehicles themselves are way way cheaper. And they come in a variety of different colors!
I'd also guess there is a wide variety of aftermarket modification suppliers. So you can add the silly looks factor to your unpractical Humvee.
Humvees are in no way bullet proof or even bullet resistant unless you get one of the uparmored ones from the GWOT but at that point they become even more gutless and unreliable than they already are.
You're talking about the short-lived am general Humvee, not the military one. There's a difference, clown.
The HMMWV is NOT bulletproof and sports a GM 6.5l diesel with all of 205 horsepower (turbo version) to move 14,000 pounds. It has a 0 - 60 time of over 20 seconds and a top speed around 80mph. It is rough, loud, uncomfortable, unreliable, and perfect for you.
God, the fuel consumption through!
Californian here. There are honestly A LOT of these on the roads now, to the point that it isn't shocking anymore to see one. They are the ONLY 4 wheel vehicle other than cop cars that make me change the way I drive. I would feel safer being tailgated by some d bag in a lifted Ram than I would even being in the vicinity of a Cybertruck. They are VERY large and it's obvious that they have enormous blindspots. I know for a fact that the solid metal body would obliterate my car if it hit me. And knowing about the accelerator pedal defect makes me actively avoid getting in front of them; I've even switched lanes when one merged behind me. Truly the worst vehicle to share the road with to come out in a long time.

Also, having "safety features" doesn't mean shit when it's a fast, heavy behemoth with complicated technology that can (and will, and have in the case of the recall) fail. Random tidbit from another Californian: The caution is also very warranted. Tesla drivers (not all, but a notable amount) have a wonderful habit of haphazardly merging into lanes and running stop signs, even in heavy pedestrian areas.
Everyone: If it ain't broke, don't fix it.
Elon: I present to you my newest creation. I call it the "wheel".
*Unveils square wheel*
Elon fanboys: he's such a misunderstood genius!
"wheels have been, uh , uh, pr-preretty the same for thousand of years"
He'd call it the Hyperwheel or Cyberwheel.
To be strictly fair to Elon: Apple did that with both computers and phones, broke them and put out worse more expensive products.
Suckers bought them in the millions only for the marketing. At this point Apple could sell a $ 200 brick stamped with their logo and their fans would queu up at night to buy it while rabidly argueing 'all other forms of brick and stone are obsolete now'.
Knowing Elon Musk, he'd probably announce on a whim that Tesla cars won't have wheels anymore, and then one year afterward, he'd suddenly "solve the problem of their cars not moving" by "inventing" wheels for it again (except he'd call them something like "The Giga-Circle" or something)

As a guy who has and uses a truck for truck stuff there’s no way I would own a Cybertruck.
And that is one of the many problems of it.
Who would possibly cross-shop a 1-ton truck with an EV pickup? That’s so apples to oranges it's absolutely ridiculous.
@BigBossIvan not really. Considering that an EV pickup is around 4 tons of weight, however he mainly pointed out how small the bed is.
@@gamerfan8445 Once again, the weight of the vehicle has nothing to do with it; it's capacity/capability. A 1-ton truck is a commercial-use truck that is, most of the time, built for that purpose.

I’ve given the Cybertruck a long hard look and got to drive one recently. I’ve also spoken to a couple of owners when supercharging. Both owners were middle age white guys, one with kids. I asked them what’s the most useful feature of the vehicle, one said, it’s cool to drive, the other liked all the public attention. Nothing about anything practical. I tried to see how it could fit into my own life and the problem for me is that it’s a very large vehicle and as you have pointed out it doesn’t really do anything well, to me it’s more show pony than a useful vehicle.

Anyone whose own a Prius understands the never replacing brakes thing. I used to be a mechanic and never replaced brakes on a Prius younger than 170,000 miles, because the regenerative braking does exactly what Elon said. The silly thing is all the prior Tesla cars had that feature too.
