2024 Tesla Cybertruck - POV First Driving Impressions

[@Gabecmc]

I’m gonna sound like a broken record, but there is no viewing experience even close to POV. This is the first review that gives me an actual idea of what this thing looks like to drive

[@trwent]

Broken record? You are dating yourself.

[@notyme]

I just did a test drive, and this POV video is good, but it doesn't do it justice. The interior is pretty good. The driving and view were beyond my expectations. Steering wheel feels small for the size of the vehicle, but that adds to it feeling very maneuverable and non intimidating for such a large truck. It didn't feel like I was driving a big truck.

Teslas have been always pretty open about sound. None of their models have noise cancelling or pump ins so a hard acceleration with no radio will net a cool electric spin up noise.

[@Blackadam-c9q]

I said this before & I'll say it again. The feature of automatic cars that were adapted from manual car is perfect 1) Steering wheel. 2) Levers on the side of the wheel for turn signal, wipper button, headlight & fog light. 3) A little entertainment below the aircon called the radio for enjoying music while driving. 4) It has so many mirrors to eliminate blindspot such as windshield, rearview mirror, anti glare visor, reverse camera. 5) Airbag & seatbelts in case of collision. These features are perfect the rest of modern features which added tablet which puts your eyes out of the road & the removal of physical button is just dumb.

[@charlesgibbs4362]

I test drove one and loved it. Fast, comfortable, lots of room and tons of fun to drive. My big issue is the least expensive one is $80k then I would need another 5-6k to wrap it.

What's worse is that your speedometer, rear view mirror, navigation, AC, controls, etc, are all on the same panel. Extremely not safe in my opinion and very annoying to use. It's even worse than driving on your phone.

[@djplonghead5403]

Our “friend” (the richest person in our tiny town) has a cyber truck and I am all for creating a vehicle that pushes bourdaines and becomes more useful- no paint scratching- but the smudges and problem with rust is actually hideous. The bed is almost useless and the range / charge port location is just not get enough to be a truck. Trucks should be cheap to own and operate- the cyber truck is more like a luxury car but with minimal luxury. Our RAM 1500 Limited, which we got for 50k less than a cybertruck has a bed cover that doesn’t break and vented rear seats.

After driving many cars, could you please tell me which SUV gave you the best driving experience and dynamics?

[@Just_a_commenter]

I'm somewhat impressed this thing made it to market, but honestly, it's just blegh to me. Blending extreme power with huge mass, compromised visibility thanks to the front pillars (and pathetic rear visibility), and cramming as many controls into a touch screen (taking your eyes away from the road in the process) is just so ill-advised. Sure, if you get into a wreck, the truck will probably be mostly fine.. But I'd be concerned for both the vehicle occupants, thanks to the lack of crumple zones, and any other vehicles this thing runs into. That's not even touching on the nightmare the cybertruck would be in a pedestrian collision. I sincerely hope I rarely see a Cybertruck on the road in-person, because I'll be blunt: I don't trust a person with more money than brains to drive one safely.

[@gangatalishis]

Safety is the biggest issue for me. Not for the one driving it but the one that gets hit by it.

​@andrewclark6682 its a 7k pound sharp edged pickup. While of course youre not gonna enjoy getting hit by any of the others you named, still at lower speeds this yhing is way more dangerous in so many ways. Not too mention it probably rivals a semi in visibility as a consumer pick up... this thing should be illegal.

[@andrewclark6682]

@@gDiniM It actually weighs less than a Rivian at just under 6900 lbs. I'm not sure how its "dangerous in so many ways". It has lots of automatic safety features to avoid collisions and has a 5 star crash test rating from the NHTSA. While I agree the visibility could be better, it's certainly no worse than an RV, other large trucks, low to the ground supercars, or box trucks, which again are all perfectly normal cars to see driving around. You don't have to like the truck, but wanting to make it illegal just because you don't like it is insane

Those ye olde specs are something right out of an old Charles Dickens novel. FEET POUNDS!

[@ZipZoomZip]

On the ride height, you were in the maximum ON ROAD ride height. In off-road modes it goes two inches higher (which is huge). The breakover angle is the best of any full-sized 4x4 pickup. I've off-roaded the Dual Motor Cybertruck extensively over various obstructions in the trail, downed trees, rock slides, ice dams, etc. and the breakover angle is amazing compared to any other full-sized 4x4 pickup. Even highly lifted 4x4s have a ground clearance problem because the differentials don't rise with a lift, they are always hanging low to get hung up on rocks, mud, snow, etc. Worse, the driveshaft is connected to the differential and is surprisingly fragile. The Cybertruck has a flat underbelly which is ideal for very rugged terrain. The fact that it also has a massive 16" of ground clearance in extract mode just amplifies that advantage.
