[@suhuy2008]

3 sensors are not because of additional redundancy, but because of consensus/quorum. If you have just 2 sensors and one of them starts reading incorrect values there is no way to know which sensor is broken, they both just report different values. If you have 3 of them, then you use values reported by two sensors and ignore the value from the remaining sensor.

[@Sw33tBabyRays]

So it's the inclusion of extra components which are not strictly necessary to functioning, in case of failure in other components?

[@suhuy2008]

@@Sw33tBabyRays I’m not arguing that it’s a measure of redundancy. I’m arguing that it’s absolutely necessary to have 3 sensors and 2 is not enough. The author said that 3 is overkill and 2 would be enough. I explained the reason why “tiebreaker” is needed.

So you do get a constant 'preflight check'. And the electric motors can be messaured for resistance and if there sholud be abnormal voltage drop (worn steering componants), so the steeer by wire might end up beeing as safe as the airplane.

3 sensors for the steering rack is not overkill, if you had 2 and one started sending bad data, how would you know which one was right? There's an old saying "A sailor never goes to sea with two clocks; always take one or three."

[@dvader3263]

4 sensors. 4 is where it's at.

[@fmashockie]

@17:37 - Remember Ohm's law AMD. V = IR. You increase voltage at the same resistance, you current will increase as well. They are directly proportional, not indirectly. I think what you are referring to is if power (P = VA) consumption is kept the same, and you increase the voltage, then yes current will decrease. For example, lets say a car consumes 240W on a 12V battery, the load will be 20 amps. On a 48V battery, at 240W, that load is decreased to 5A

[@cherjohn2118]

Absolutely right. It was a slip on the part of the Car Care Nut!

[@feandil666]

yes, your current decreases linearly with voltage, so x4 on the voltage means 1/4 on the current and 1/2 on the cross section diameters of the wires (surface is 1/4), right ?

[@albondar]

Yes he said BS. Joule heating is P= IV = V^2/R and so greater with greater voltage. Probably either the wires are chosen resistive to reduce current within or not all of battery voltage powers the small element but say single battery cell, instead.

[@richardwilliams1986]

But isn't it an AC motor, so the equations go out the window, since phase angle, frequency, etc enter into the picture.

[@fmashockie]

​P = VI is the same for AC voltage as long as RMS is used. Regardless of what AMD said, that is what he meant. The guy knows his electronics pretty well.

I really appreciate your unique take on the CyberTruck. All the other reviews I've watched have only been showcasing how "crazy" it is in various ways. I'm still not a fan of the truck but you pointing out and talking about the different engineering feats made me have some respect for the vehicle. Also I had not thought about it as a tech demo before. That was eye-opening.

[@alesksander]

Yea it is. As you said this is essentially demo vehicle for technology for nextgen models. Mainly model 2 in mind. Quite smart the milk all SUV custumer s market fro its worth. Meanwhile engineers could took higher risks with low production car like CT is.

[@zeroelus]

In other reviews we got lucky if the 48V system was mentioned in passing, and even then it was buried under "this is so cool brah" things/gimmicks...or at least of the 4 reviews I've seen with this one regarding this car. I kind of avoid content on it save for a few sources. As AMD puts it, I'm all onboard and I can see the value, heck if those early adopters want to pay the early adopter price for tech that will then trickle down, cool go for it. But it's some of the other things as he mentions and a bunch he, understandably, avoided that make me really dislike what the truck has become to mean. At the very least I hope, though I expect to be wrong, that this is the peak, or near it, of huge oversized cars for less than 6 people...I want to see smaller, more efficient packaging in cars, I don't want it to keep escalating into a urban war of who can get the biggest car to bully others around in.

Very interesting and informative review. I do own a Cybertruck now. Filled up the back with three bikes and a bunch of SCUBA gear. Hauled t from California to Arizona went very well. Also, my wife is a SCUBA instructor. she hauls tanks and all the gear in the back and also a trailer on occasion. Yes, it does take an eight minute charge on the way back home with the trailer. Without the trailer. It’s to the lake and back without a problem (156 miles). Everything is a compromise, but this vehicle is phenomenal in so many aspects. :-) It’s only drawback is relatively limited range. Most comfortable vehicle I have ever driven.

I never saw that but all an our tools and parts were custom made to specific tolerances. We had to be able to grab whatever out of a box and possibly save lives and property with them.

The 48 v system is used on my e bike and a whole bunch more. It is similar to the reason why your Windows laptop runs on 12 volts and is capable of far more than 5 volt systems like cell phones. Voltage is the term for Electrical force or pressure. If you touch 5 volts you may not notice. If you touch a 120 VAC line it may be lethal and knock your body flying. 48V motors develop more torque with less waste heat and friction.

For more power you need to push either more volts or more amps. In order to get more power on a 12v system, you need to push more amps. To push more ore amps need a big cable, like the thick cables connected to your battery. If you push more volts instead, you can use a much smaller cables. Small wires can carry high voltage. Large wires are needed to carry high amperage. 48v systems are more efficient on power deliver and even more efficient in an auto because of the weight and cost savings in wires alone.

@@mcld4214 car manufacturers have wanted to go higher voltage for decades, but No one wanted to abandon the entire industries 12v support and part supply.

Being more modern and restricted by the old 12v, They also had more advantage/benefit by the upgrade.

[@sprockkets]

This is false. You are applying the rules of AC wiring here. That's not how DC works. Higher DC voltage means you still need bigger cables because DC voltage drops fast, esp at higher voltages. Worse yet, 48 volts is high enough to electrocute you, so now, you have to run 2x the wires instead of just one! And seeing how a great majority of cyberturds are having electrical issues, tesla has no clue how to actually do this.

Not sure why this would not be used as a work truck. You didn't specify what are the weaknesses. Other work trucks do not have air suspensions and have poor driving performance compared to the Cybertruck. That is worth the money to some people. Non-truck buyers are purchasing the Cybertruck. The stainless steel is hard to clean but the armor protection and low cost of replacement makes it worthwhile.

I've found my stainless steel to be super easy to keep clean. A little windex and a rag does the trick. In fact, I'd say it is easier to clean than my other cars. My Cybertruck was hit by the sprinklers on one side. Noticed it when I pulled it into my garage. Not a problem. Hit the whole side with windex and a rag and in about 2 minutes good as new. I'd never try that on my painted cars as it would swirl and damage the paint. Also love going to the grocery store and not worrying about where I park for fear of getting door dinged. And I too use it as a truck. In fact, sold my gas truck when I bought this.

"It's not a work truck"? Very interesting conclusion.

Now, the most important part: You said the 48v technology wouldn't be used on any other vehicles. I was amazed at that. This was designed as a precursor for the next-gen platform - the $25k car AND the cyber cab. 48v will reduce costs and increase reliability. Very interesting video and well produced.

Non-engineers don't understand that complex is actually easy. Simple is hard. Come on industry.. Catch up to Tesla! As to casting, probably sand cast knuckles, and die cast tie rod ends maybe? I wonder why the upper arm is steel? The load on the upper are is very low. when the glass comes up, its a little truck shape - looks cool. Also makes a door handle. Also if its got good regen, you wouldn't think it needs very big brakes. On steer by wire, I'd assume the car won't drive it it gets a component failure fault so I have no concerns about safety. The most dangerous thing about it is probably the likely nutjob behind the wheel. PS... "Theme from Dukes of Hazzard" on the radio... lol.

Upper arms are often because of less load; quite thin. You make this of anything but steel and you have to make it larger/thicker and space in that area of the wheel well is limited to begin with. Steel was the best and easily the cheapest choice.

The problem with drive by wire is when the vehicle loses power, and then you are 'driving' a brick and your wheels are locked. For reference, I was driving a Prius gen 2 in a parking lot, and it lost engine power. The front display went dead, and it rolled to a stop. I could still steer and brake, but that was it. It turns out it was just a 15 amp microfuse, but this little fuse powered the digital shifter and the start button, so it wouldn't start, and it wouldn't shift out of drive, and was quite difficult to tow, but at least it still steered and braked. I don't know, but I bet somewhere in this thing is a fuse box, and in that box there is a fuse that sends power to the wheel motors and or brake, and if that goes out, this thing is going to either brake on its own if it has some autosafety feature for this, or just roll until it hits something or loses its momentum. This would be a good use of Full Self Driving, if it was working yet...

The review was refreshing. I'll be getting the CT when it drops to regular price. I would like to know why he doesn't think it's a work truck? I believe he said it would be if it's $60-70K. The single motor variant will be that price. Also, with the 240V 11.5KW power in the back, you can run welders, compressors, and radial saws. With short range towing tasks, KZbin farmers are saying they are saving lots of money on gas. Yes, tools may be hard to reach, can't tow far, and can't tow a fifth wheel, but knowing the limitations, it can be a great work truck. I will use it as a extended battery supply for my off grid solar setup. The inverter can run up to 10 tons of mini-split HVAC systems, which will cover 5-8,000 sqft for 12hrs full on, or double or triple that once upon reaching steady temps. With sentry mode, it gives you 360 degree motion activated security cameras for your job site or at home. Add Full Self Driving and driving around to clients and job sites will be a lot less stressful and more relaxing, even in traffic. Plus, there are no off days for servicing, such as oil change, brake jobs, timing belt changes, radiator, water pump replacement, fluid changes, fuel filters, oxygen sensors, etc..... .Tesla FSD is pretty good now. I use it 95% of the time. There's so much more. I currently have an F250 and a Model S Plaid, so I'm coming from both ends. I also own a Model 3 for 5 years, and other than tires, one service. Tesla came to me to replace a 12V battery, around $100, I think.

Althgough the car... the truck - whatever it is - seems to be even more divisive than its daddy (if it's even possible) - the engineering is next level. Or the one after the next. Car journalist Jason Camissa - on several of the channels he appears on - described all its systems, in addition to the cooling/heating assembly, so well laid out here by the Car Care Nut. There's the steer by wire, there's the 48V onboard... voltage - and there's the astonishing reduction in mass due to miles less wiring than most other modern cars - because of onboard LAN communication network. Also - the first crashed CT on youtube which was restored "online" (by the channel BoostedBoiz) - gives hope that problem-solving solutions have been done on a high level. Overall - although the looks and the interior are designed (or at least overlooked) by a somewhat eccentric Mars-man wannabe - the engineering is sane, very sane. Thanks for the review and keep up the work - from Latvia.

I am curious as to why it would never be a work truck. The review never covered that point, yet he drew that conclusion in the end. I put stuff in the back of mine and haul it from point a to point b. How is that not possible? I see lots of people posting videos and pictures of them using the Cybertruck as a work truck. I see GCs using them to power work sites. So, I’m a bit confused on this conclusion. I will say, other than that unfounded conclusion, this was a very strong review, and he captured a lot of Tesla’s weak and strong points, with too much emphasis on some of the negatives. (Yes, the side and rear view mirrors are horrible, but I really don’t care because I use the cameras. Like he said, they are there for compliance reasons.) But the reviewer really does go into a lot of details about the engineering that I have not seen before-it was great to see it from that viewpoint.

I don’t get why he keeps saying you can’t use it as a truck? Why not? It has a very usable bed (with a superior retractable tonneau cover). It has an impressive payload. It can drive on any unpaved road that you’d need to. His only argument seems to be “it costs $100K” and he doesn’t like the way it looks. Lots of trucks costs over $100K! But here’s the thing: it’s not going to cost $100K for much longer. In a few months, they will start offering the $80K version. And that one qualifies for a $7500 tax credit. So $72,500 for a Cybertruck! That’s when I will absolutely buy. I put my $100 deposit down in early 2021, so I’m hoping I will be driving one of these by late 2025. Otherwise, this was one of the most informative videos on the CT that I’ve ever seen!

They should change nearly all the stuff now, but they had only one major redesign, and it is not radical enough. Rivian has no culture of frugality and efficiency. No culture of efficient manufacturing. Their designers try to make everything cool for the outside obsrver, they add useless features, gimmicks, trims - without thinking about making the car profitable and easy to manufacture. And I'm not optimistic for R2 o R3. Those cars are designed with the same attitude. People will love them, becoause everybody likes to get $50k of engeneering for free. But iti is not the way to make business for long. And so, Rivian has no unique tech to sell. Sure, VW bought into their software, but VW is desperate and extremely incompetent in this area. And Rivian has no electronics on the level of CT, so VW, having software from the last century, just entered into software of the early 2020s. Still a previous generation.
