Great to see Kyle and team got the truck to do what they do best! Thanks to the owner. We now get to see how CT is as a truck.

[@terrancecloverfield6791]

Unless they're ACTUALLY testing the truck AS A TRUCK (testing the range under a full load), not a glorified drag car, every single Cybertruck review is worthless except to those with more money than common sense.

[@terrancecloverfield6791]

​​@@TeslaChargeForward are we watching the same 1+ hr video? I didn't see Kyle and boys do anything other than drag race and just talking about full loads.

[@Andras-o3q]

@@terrancecloverfield6791I think the "TRUCK" narrative is already over since the real highway range is ~260 miles. Driving it 80-10% with towing and you have a sub 120 miles range. I don't think that anybody who needs a real truck would go for this.

[@macbook802]

Please compare it to a waste management bin

[@woodrax]

"I am not here to make the Cybertruck look good." Love that line. If there is one thing I have learned from watching you, Kyle, it is that you will always give your honest, often BRUTAL opinion on the vehicles you review. I dig your excitement in technology and specs, but also dig that you are willing to say when something about a vehicle sucks.

His best video is when he roasts the VinFast on a test drive with a VinFast employee in the car

​@@ArbitraryFilmings Maybe, just maybe this means it's pretty nice to drive. I know, I know. Crazy. Also, calling him a Tesla shill is proof you really don't know this channel😂. The dude ripped Teslas appart many times. Plus, this is just the driving impressions review. The range testing, towing testing and charge testing he's working on may have a different tone, judging by how he talks about it.

[@simson4t]

He was way more reserved than usual. The positive things were overhyped, and there was always excuse for the negative things. The whole cyber truck coverage has a sacred cow feeling.

[@ironsword7]

42:40 In regards to the wiper, Lars mentioned 600-800W when talking to Jay Leno (and probably others), but he later corrected himself on X saying that the wiper motor peaks at about 120W. "Quick correction on that one - my mind was on steering motor power (also enabled by 48V) - the wiper motor is nominally much less in most speeds, peaks around 120W. Not nearly as much, but still enabled by 48V since >100W... imagine that on 12V, the wires would be huge!" larsmoravy is his X username.

Kyle is likely sharing video revenue with the CT owners... more than compensation for a little "normal" tire wear... AND the owner says he wants it unlocked so he can "slide it" (tire wear with traction control turned off much worse).

How are you going to charge the truck with a trailer. have to find a place to drop trailer. 😢 I think Tesla should make their charging stations should be like a gas station so you can charge with a trailer attached. 😊

I don't want a Tesla, because, I want buttons, indicators, wipers and lights operated with stocks, a speedometer and so on... BUT the 48V system, the steer-by-wire system and some other gimmicks included in the Cybertruck are realyl cool. These are things You ever wanted, but did not know before.

Rear wheel steering is really a game changer for something this big. My S580 has 10Degree RWS and its insane that I can turn that car around from almost a standstill and my MSP I have to take 3 point turns everywhere with the stupid 21" wheels.. In addition to the crazy noises the Tesla makes when trying to make a U Turn lol...

[@petabb]

Did you measure the noise inside the cabin with a decible meter? I'd love to have the numbers along with the personal perceptions.

Francine is your best asset on your videos. Her reactions and expressions sitting in the backseat are hilarious especially on the launch. And the head discussion. Put her in the front seat more often. Hahahahaha

[@garyclark6747]

🎉Interesting🍿Great driving analysis of a production delivered CyberTruck. Francy and at times Kyle let everyone know when Drew was testing the turns just to what extent Tesla let the leash loose. Makes me wonder if it was more for keeping incidents to a minimum as we all know what repair delay stories will await. After all parts will be sourced from one place on the planet and assembly unique to say the lease. 1:43:34

[@blackfish95]

Francie's face when Drew was driving hard through some corners. So good :)

[@rogerhall559]

How "indestructible" is the under carriage . . .battery protection set up. Seems like off roading could be an issue.

[@jamesirwin7677]

I love the interior shots. Watch the drinks in the rear slosh around. It's like a mini G counter. So cool.

[@AaronStarkLinux]

My theory is this one. I think I know why the Cybertruck didn't come with Autopilot or FSD. I think the reason why is because it's steer-by-wire and when FSD is on, the wheels will be moving but not the steering wheel. So while the CT will be on FSD you can do what you want with the steering wheel and even play a videogame... who knows... But there is also a safety concern with the actual LEVEL of Autonomous Driving, it means you won't be able to take over immediately? So maybe that's why they haven't brought it to the CT yes because it was just a matter of an extra second for response or even a discrepancy between the wheels and the position of the steering wheel at that precise moment... Any thoughts on this?

[@whattheschmidt]

That will be how it works when FSD is operating and it's actually level 3+. To start though, it will be in beta and moving the steering wheel will be a thing to take over / knock out of Autopilot / FSD Beta.

[@AaronStarkLinux]

@@whattheschmidt Hi, thanks. How do you know you will be able to take over with steer-by-wire? The thing is that we don't fully know how that hardware will work on FSD.

[@whattheschmidt]

@AaronStarkLinux it can operate either way. So until it's approved for hands off, fully operational on its own, it will work like the rest of the current Tesla vehicles.

[@tokiandgizmo4457]

Interested in the tires for the cybertruck. What is the useful life and the cost per tire? (How many miles? )

[@4doormas758]

@elonmuskceo-tesla Maryland

[@yayinternets]

I’m still in the middle of this video and to the point of Kyle and Coleton talking about the grinding noise. Try driving a stretch of road as a control, then try taking 5-10 PSI out of the tires and doing the same stretch of road again to see if you still hear the noise. I think that would help start to narrow it down to see if it’s drivetrain or tire related. Large meaty tires (BFG KO2s in particular) are known for having factory defects that make them impossible to balance correctly, etc. I wouldn’t be a bit surprised if it’s related to the big meaty tires in some way. I’m actually watching this from Apple TV on a home theater setup with a sound system that has a very advanced subwoofer that does itself own extra processing; it’s literally the size of a table. The road noise I can hear is definitely shaking my house a bit and sounds like big meaty tire noise to me. It’s a really low rumble that is almost more felt than heard.

[@gchetail]

So if you put your blinker on, you can't see what is behind you anymore. This seems like a little issue.

[@manny41p]

This might be a dumb question but I feel like with all those flat stainless steel panels, I would imagine during a bright sunny day, that’s gonna cause some serious reflection issues for oncoming drivers. Maybe there is a coating of some sort to prevent this from happening I’m not sure but something I have not heard anyone talking about so naturally curious

[@landcruiser801]

Yup, first person to take one off road will get millions of views; so far mostly just wrapping them and putting on new wheels..

[@bazanime]

The first deliveries have been to consumers not professional car reviewers yet. Even this one is a loan. When the professional car reviewers get their own in-house CT, then they can perform the full gamut of testing we are used to. Remember most people with off-road capable vehicles rarely if ever take it to those lengths. So don't expect those kinds of vids for now.

[@bartdeking]

Fun to see that in the 700+ miles driven that he only used 425wh/mi or 290mi range in cold winter conditions. Also when you just have a cybertruck you floor it likely many times so his real world range will likely be 320mi over time. Nice to see that the EPA range matches CT EPA range.

[@riggmeister]

And it's cool that it could be set to full rear steering as a rudder for 'Boat Mode'!

[@roberts.wilson1848]

what is important in what happens during a crash, like something that bends the body work, not the inner structure, so a hit at like 30mphor a higher speed side swipe What is the cost they will demand to have your vehicle repaired. None of that insurance, because you end up paying a higher premium next time if you cause the crash, so it's not free money. How much will they demand for a windscreen or that motorized bed cover.

[@graemeesmith]

Regarding the traction control and ESP, I share your sentiment. Similarly Tesla (still!) doesn't offer any traction control off for a Model 3 w/Acceleration Boost, and these can do 0-60 in well under 4 seconds. It seems like they may be doing something similar with CT where nothing less than the Performance/Beast trim lets you really send it.

[@craigsteensma807]

Kyle - Wouldn't the quad motor of the Rivian automatically offer improved "performance driving" due to the ability to deliver real-time torque vectoring in turns by wheel?

[@bsears693]

If you haven't done this already, I have a big thing I want to see! find a big open parking lot, go 60mph, turn slightly, and slow down. Does the turn get tighter as you slow down without turning the wheel (due to speed based gain)? Please show us!

[@onewayofliving]

Can you do a side by side range test with your Rivian R1s? Drive them both, 100% charged following one another. That way those comparing can see how they actually compare on range and all things like temperature and course are not a factor? that would be an amazing video.

[@JetFire9]

I think a towing range test with the same trailer would be an interesting video.

[@jullian2598]

side by side range testing in similar conditions would be great buyer information but just for reading clarity "side by side" not "following one another" as aerodynamics would be a big factor.

Great drive, folks, thanks for the ride-along. As for performance "fun", I'd try it out just to know where its limits are so in case I need to dodge some idiot at 80MPH, I'll do it because I know the truck can handle it. But normal driving, I drive my MYLR near the limits but not over. I like to steer it right around a curve and have it just comply, holding the road. Even on dry snow over previous day's ice this winter, I can push it around a curve a bit and the Traction Control wiggles the wheels a bit and then settles down just fine. Of course, I don't do that when my wife is riding along ;) 😎

Does that have a always active rear view cam? Also 43:05 I would think that the wiper would be only 100 because it would have to be a high voltage component to get 1000 unless it does get 83 amps at 12v. 58:10 even my 2008 Prius uses acceleration rather than power.

Great video, you’re killing it with Cybertruck content. I get a little bit of the rubber necking when I take out my Gen2 NSX. The NSX is so rare, after being out almost 8 years, very few people have ever seen one. I can always tell who the real car guys are, and other people ask me what it is, they have no idea. I’m sure driving the Cybertruck is a whole next level of fan excitement. Of course if Tesla is able to produce the truck in large numbers, we will eventually see these things all over and it will be no big deal.
