mistakes in Cybertruck that will render it useless for zombie apocalypses or chaos/war: 1. Acceleration 2.6s to 60mph = there is no tire on planet that can last more than 10k mi. on vehicle with that acceleration which is COSTLY. RWD has 6.5s but then locking differentials are useless when there is nothing to lock but rear wheels, and 17” ground clearance is absolutely POINTLESS because no RWD vehicle will EVER attempt off-roading! 2. No door handles = cannot be opened from outside in strong wind when wind is blowing from the front or the door side, odds are roughly 50% if u park vehicle at random angle to wind. 3. Electric sensor for opening door = cannot be opened in case of electric malfunction or battery depletion while any gas truck can be opened whenever they ran out of gas REMEMBER ITS MEANT TO BE FOR APOCALYPSES WHEN U PUSH THE LIMITS. 4. Standard tires = instead of improving and innovating tires tesla made 3-3.5 ton monster on feet of clay. anyone can stop it by puncturing tires. War in Ukraine shows how even the most luxurious SUV-s have become so vulnerable to tire puncturing due to small pieces of shrapnel on roads. 5. Bulletproof body = STUPID IDEA CAUSE TIRES AND GLASS ARE NOT BULLETPROOF! 6. Ethernet wiring = computers control EVERYTHING even STEERING meaning any chip malfunction could kill you, moreover this system cannot be protected from EMP or excessive solar radiation. Stock Toyota 70 for example outperforms this vehicle in all those features that’s why it is the most demanded rugged vehicle on Earth. 7. Great towing capacity: yes towing capacity is great cause the vehicle is overweight and friction induced on tires is way higher than friction on 2.5 ton truck tires: 3.5ton/4=0.875 ton/tire while 2.5ton/4=0.625 ton/tire just like 2x2=4. Not mentioning 4x more probability that it will get stuck in mud than the same size 2.5 ton vehicle. And when fully loaded it weighs 4.5 tons which is INSANELY STUPID for Apocalyptic roads… Not only 0 chance in mud but puncturing probability drastically increases when under 1.15ton pressure. So in rainy apocalyptic day, 0 chance moving unless on well maintained highway…. 8. Steering rectangle instead of wheel = accident guaranteed. 9. Ceiling gear shift = accident guaranteed. 10. Absence of battery heating system = 30-60% cold weather range drop =Gasoline truck-600 miles, Cybertruck-180miles 11. Price = they promised less than 40k for standard vehicle now its over 60k, while 95% of truck prices fall in

Towing with an electric truck is actually fine. It's distance that is the shortcoming. I say this because there is a distinct difference between someone towing a landscape trailer IN-TOWN and towing an RV trailer cross-country. It's important to observe that distinction. For IN-TOWN use, a Lightning or Cybertruck is more than capable of doing everything you'd want to do in a day. I have 2x Lightnings.

Wanted more range for less money, Unfortunately physics has butted heads with my unreasonable expectations. Want more range, put in the extender.

Hmmm, maybe not so much compromising after all :-) If you don’t like it, get out of line so I can get mine sooner!! Thanks for the video!

[@commuterbranchline8132]

The introduction of 48v electrical system, bidirectional charging and steer by wire are massive overlooked innovations. As well as the use of stainless steel as a stressed load bearing element is a first too. I don’t think the price is too bad given the inflation the world is suffering and it’s clear that 4680 cell development and production has not gone as smoothly as expected.

I disagree on one point, Ricky. I think this truck could be huge in the commercial blue collar construction and service markets. It checks all the boxes. Why am I certain? Because I was a commercial carpenter, mostly heavy structural concrete projects. This truck is perfect for individuals' ownership AND commercial company fleets. Most people analyzing the markets for this truck are ignoring this factor. Take it to the bank: it may take a little time for adoption in the work place but the CT IS a work truck! And it will prove itself as such in the not too distant future. Elon needs to be ready for the demand!

I agree, it provides quite a bit of capability that saves from having to haul a generator around... some people need to transport ladders, a roof rack is coming.

[@temujinkuechle6287]

That’s a good question for Tesla. So, go get the data that shows all the power sags, fluctuations, and ask them if this unreliability is a problem for charging up. Tesla should have a good answer for you, so you can make the best decision for your situation. What island?

[@mt2766]

Because of the poor electrical service in Hawaii (I’m on Oahu), I am now using the Ting sensor by Whisker Labs, in addition to a whole home surge protector. The Ting sensor monitors daily average, high and low voltages. There are frequent voltage sags beyond the NEC 5% parameter. Just horrible. So, yes, good idea.

[@farmonthehill7390]

Towing / workwise, the cybertruck is similar to a Ford F150 or a Ram 1500. It will tow a smaller horse trailer or a smaller skid steer or tractor. However, it is not going to tow a 5 ton CTL or mini-excavator. Lots of useful work and farming applications. The range is ok, especially with the extra range extender. Considering that the top of the line F150 is about $80,000, this is in the ballpark. I want one of these but do have an occasional need for towing larger equipment 100 miles or less -- for that I would buy a used diesel truck with a dump truck bed.

[@Arational]

Honestly, as a lifelong opponent of fossil fuel, I feel like the best "range extender" for any electric truck over the next 10 years until batteries *actually* get here, would be a cleaner gas generator used as the Volt does. Or for the $17,000 they want for the range extender, a trailer base w/batteries and the smallest motor Tesla makes. Tesla could make an entire business just selling mobile battery trailers. Look at Lightship.

One major reason other pick-up trucks have not changed their construction methods in 70 years is what that market represents to other makers. It is the same body on frame that cars used to be before safety bumper and roll over standards mandated for sedans were legislated. Light trucks were exempted and so were much more profitable to keep making. Selling the American public on pick-ups as a family car substitute by adding a second row of seats became the major advertising the other makers have pushed for decades. This created the market that the Cybertruck now exists to help fulfill.

I wonder why no one ever questioned why it should be legal for personal cars to evade safety regulations if only they are designed in the least sustainable way. Pretty crazy if you ask me.

The Cybertruck is not safe however. There's numerous design flaws that make it ESPECIALLY unsafe for children. Especially if you prefer your children to keep all their fingers. The collision tests also show that it has 4x the impact force of an F150. Tesla won't even release the entirety of the test dummy video because it clearly looks terrible just from what they have shown.

Thanks for the great analysis.

[@geirmyrvagnes8718]

I think I would choose the same. If I owned and operated a small towing company specializing in towing heavy loads long distances all day every day, I would still consider diesel as an option. Or if I was towing often in northern Canada, Sahara or Siberia. It seems like diesel will be for rare edge cases in a few years. (Gasoline will be for collector's cars.) Give that a good decade for most of the vehicles already on the road to be retired. Then everything becomes an expedition, because where are you going to get fuel?

[@kenmcclow8963]

I reserved Cybertruck in November of 2019 and I think it’s pretty good but I also got an email from Tesla saying I’m in the line, but I should check out a Model Y while I wait. That implies a year, or more likely two years while almost as good Lightnings are sitting on dealer lots with discounts and I’m assuming the new 2025 Ford, Ram and GM trucks will roll out about the same time as the Cybertruck line gets into full production. I figure once Cybertruck demand slows, they will probably drop the price significantly and the others won’t be able to and still be profitable, but that’s my shareholder side thinking. My car purchaser side wants a truck now, but doesn’t want to pay $70-80k and recognizes that the Model Y can handle the three trailers in my yard, but not necessarily a newer heavier version of my travel trailer. The utility trailer and the boat only go on short trips

[@paulbrowne6087]

I'd grab a heavily discounted lightening now and wait 3-4 years for Tesla to iron out all the kinks in the CT.

[@TheHumanNacho]

@@paulbrowne6087 You're not entirely wrong. I'm still hopeful for the Tesla 2 to ever come out, but meanwhile I bought a JAC E10X last year. People should buy the vehicle they need when they need it, and I was holding out but my clunker expired on me and I couldn't wait any longer. And now I need my JAC to expire before I get a Model 2, probably next decade (the JAC has a LFP battery, so degradation should take a while). Besides, due to the exterior panels of the Cybertruck being an origami nightmare rather than a 10 second date with a stamping machine, it will take years before production ramps up. That should be more than enough time for common problems on the production version to get ironed out.

[@ksnax]

The truck pull result is a bit of a cheat, leveraging the CT's superior acceleration at the start to get the trailer moving for higher initial momentum. The rest of it is usually just traction failing first.

[@gregfoster6916]

Cybertruck is going to be a hard sell for people that want to tow for any distance. I was counting on 400-500 mile range. Primarily because my model 3 long range never got the amount they estimated. At best you get about 2/3 the estimated amount of miles. And so you can imagine what you will actually get if the estimate is 340. And on top of that if you’re towing 10,000 pounds you will be lucky to get 130 miles. And I can’t imagine charging with a trailer on an 6 hour treck into remotes parts of the country for hunting. Overall it’s sad because other than the jacked up prices it sounds like an incredible truck. They should have made the range extender 4 by 6 so it would lay flat in the bed and you could still carry plywood. Poor design on the range extender

[@dannydaw59]

A regular gas truck has less range when towing too correct?

[@gregfoster6916]

@@dannydaw59 sure. But the comparison definitely favors a regular truck as of now. F150 hold 23 gallons and gets 24 mpg on highway. This gives you a range of 552 miles. No more needs to be said, but pulling my flat bed with a mule and some other supplies I used to get 15 mpg. So my range pulling a trailer was 345. And when I stop I don’t have to disconnect my trailer to charge. I just pull up and refuel and in 7-8 minutes I’m back on the road. Again Teslas estimated range are terribly on the high side. At least it’s been the case in my model 3. I therefore expect the same on Teslas other vehicles. So I strongly doubt the cybertruck will get 340. I suspect it will likely be around 300. Then when you tow it will probably be 100-150 miles per charge. I hope it’s better but doubtful. Now my hope is the improve the range over time. I love my model 3. And I wanted the truck too. The problem with towing with an electric vehicle isn’t how much weight, it’s how much range

48vdc is about as high as you would want to go for the "low voltage" system for safety. The advantage is that the current for a given load at 48v is much lower than it would be at 12v. That means wires can be thinner/lighter, etc.

@@avsystem3142 48v would be really convenient for the Mild Hybrid cars (EU thing mainly) because the hybrid battery is 48v. On my Hyundai i30 I used to have a 12v system with a 12v battery for the lights and electronics, a 48v battery for the hybrid assistance and a 48v starter generator for normal operation and then a 12v starter for starting the car when the 48v was depleated. Of course, after all that, a turbocharged petrol engine with an electronic clutch for a manual gearbox. So yeah, 48v for ICE cars would be really nice.

[@b.b.stanfield9829]

I use my truck exactly as you described for farm/ranch work and long road trips. It’s the primary mode of transportation on the ground. We have a 4 door Jeep for rougher travel, local run-about trips and general fun. It’s also a backup if the truck is in the shop for a few days. It is truly a pain when it’s down. I think I paid too much for it during the pandemic when my “cherry” truck was totaled in the parking lot, (long story not pertinent here), but even with that, is the vehicle of choice. A Tesla truck with the current performance capabilities is a good choice for some limited uses, but is not yet capable of the wide variety 100+ years of vehicle progress has given us with the internal combustion engine. I can see it for the uses you noted. Also, for those with a need that’s occasional you mentioned the percentages, well, that’s a good candidate and then you can cruise Rodeo Drive or the Boulevard and look good. It says you either have a lot of money or most of your wealth is tied up in a vehicle………so you get the best of the practical utility during the day and the ego boost at night. In time, if the EV idea continues to grow, then these issues will resolve themselves. If it does not then we still have the existing capabilities. Either way, likely won’t matter to me as I’m retired and have little need to change. I’ll let the younger generation solve those problems. My generation solved theirs, and I suspect this will follow a similar path. Patience and attention to detail will win the day.

[@Hydrogenblonde]

I tell you what we really don't need, that is 0 to 60 mph in 2.6 seconds. A lot of vehicles would do that in 8 seconds and be considered adequate. Why do we need 2.6? It's just to show off and say how much better their electric vehicle is. If manufacturers of electric vehicles could end their obsession with showing off and used smaller electric motors and gear boxes, limited the acceleration to around 7 to 8 seconds they could cure the range problem in one swift stroke. That fast acceleration is what uses up the battery power. High acceleration = high current flow.
