[@Wingman77tws]

Once the range extender is installed, it will not be removable without a full day of service. There will be plumbing and high voltage electrical in addition to it being very securely bolted in. I still don’t believe that this will ever be real. It is just not the Tesla way.

[@artemZinn]

I can see it being split into multiple less heavy pieces for easier handling and act as a home battery when not installed in the Truck. But that’s too much of wishful thinking 😅

[@user-ep3ug9ry3p]

Unless it’s passively cooled.

[@Molishious]

I agree that the range extender will never happen. I think it was just used to save face when they didn’t meet the promised 500 miles. Tesla could kind of say they could give the range until some time passed and people got used to reality. I think it’s more likely that they’ll just make a truck that comes with a bigger battery if the Cybertruck remains popular enough.

[@zandercerlong9693]

@@Molishiousit will probably for sure happen but not for long because tesla wont be constrained on 4680 for ever. Sooner than later they will just greatly increase the size of the actual battery pack. Tesla knew every single tesla the first year would sell regardless of range could have been 100miles and they would have sold all of them. So lets say the end of this year they offer bigger batter packs on CT then they only have to offer the range extender to the trucks that were delivered in 2024 maybe what a potential of 40K units or something. Maybe only 5% of those even want it. So they potentially only have to do 2,000 range extender installs.

[@Molishious]

@@zandercerlong9693 Well it will be interesting to see what happens. I’m on the record saying it won’t happen but that’s just a guess of course. I don’t claim to have any special insight. My feeling is that if they were going to exist they would already exist. We’ll see. It doesn’t matter much to me either way as I’m not going to buy a Cybertruck but it’s kind of fun to make a prediction. To me the range extender is much more useful to Tesla as an idea than it is as a product.

[@loganrossignol]

Tbh I think people are just more polite in person than they would be online. A lot of people (myself included) don't find the Y to be particularly good looking but after I bought mine, folks were always nice about it, calling it pretty etc. I feel like we should preface discussions with folks that they should feel free to be honest about it, since I think no one really wants to crap on someone in person

[@Travis-nm1qw]

There's definitely an online specific dynamic going on with the obsession for being critical of Tesla. It has become an online sport of sorts. The number of people who get views by trying to win the "I'll show you how brutally honest I can be about my own fill in the blank Tesla model" is nearly endless. This two hour critique from a relatively popular channel demonstrates how ridiculous the splitting of hairs has gotten.

[@officialyasir]

Definitely! I'll just say things like "oh, I am so glad you're enjoying your car!" or "It's sooo unique!" because I don't want to hurt their feelings, lol.

[@bear4278]

Couldn’t agree more! I think the Cybertruck is absolutely stupid, ugly, not worth anywhere close to $100k and think the foundation people got straight up scammed with all the missing features they paid for. All that said, if I saw an owner in the street, I’m not gonna be an ass to them. If they are happy, I am happy for them 😊

[@kiddor3]

I was a disliker for looks, until i saw one and it's worse than I was willing to admit. the first truck saw and the owner asked me what it looked like, I honestly told them it's a big trash can looking whatever.😅

[@zandercerlong9693]

@@bear4278The overwhelming response to the CyberTruck is that it looks better in person. I’ve seen multiple CT in showrooms where the was NO owner around obviously and the large crowds were rather positive about the looks. It’s not elegant of course more like BRUTALLY BADASS which is great for a truck. Furthermore foundation buyers DID NOT get ripped off they literally were paying to have it EARLY to be FIRST this happens literally all the time in the auto industry and in other industries. Most of the CyberTruck early Buyers are either wealthy and could care less about paying more. CT is suppose to be 80K for the dual motor that has been selling for 100K. 12K of it is FSD for life, a couple thousand for all the accessories you can possibly buy for the truck, and also a voucher for bi directional install on your house. A foundation buyer is really only paying 5K for the “early” privilege the rest is the buyer actually receiving goods and services.

[@marcusingrum9770]

I love his nerd level 2000. I really enjoyed when he did the 8-hour video about the cyber truck.

[@hlothr]

Kyle is all over the place in this one. If you like this thing then fine but he criticized it all video and then in summary "idk it's pretty cool". Then he prefers the Hummer for being stupid and the Rivian for being good. Not sure what the point was other than to find a way to make another CT video.

[@kestrelglassingsystems6704]

The Phantom Battery drain is a thing I've experienced with this truck quite a bit. I've found it to be highly variable. I've done two tests overnight, two days in a row. Conditions were: garaged overnight with ~80% charge each time, Sentry mode off, cabin overheat and AC off. Night one I lost about 2% between 10pm and 6am. Night two I lost exactly 1 mile (0.3%) range. The delta seems to be driven by "mobile App use" when reviewing the energy app in the truck. I'm not sure why this is since I wasn't using the app during that time in either case, but this points to likely a software fix in background app use.

[@tormammen6522]

Elon is cryptofarming 😅

[@house9Tube]

🤔 The BMS is estimating the percentage, my model 3 often has 2-4% more charge in the morning after BMS gets a better read. 0.3-2% seems like a rounding error to me? If it really is from app usage, just make sure the app isn’t running before your next test or turn off your phone over night to make sure.

A great encyclopedic review of your Tesla CyberTruck experience. Love your thoroughness and comparisons to other vehicles.

[@SquidNick]

I've said this to other owners, a non-centered steering wheel can be fixed yourself if you can get a tech to put your car into Service Mode Plus. I took delivery and the next day had a tech call me to schedule my appointment to fix it, and he's was like "you seem to know what you're doing, do you want to fix this yourself?" ... so yeah, all good. His suggestion, which wasn't covered in the manual, is to hold the wheel steady during calibration (lock it in place with your hands, HARD). Otherwise it detects center by rotation all the way to the left, and all the way to the right and assumes that centered is the middle of that. So by holding it centered, it marks center as being where you held it.

Place an Igloo or Yeti on the floor and fill with ice. Place phone on top of ice. Bonus, multiple companies have already rushed Cybertruck-Edition ice makers into production (3 decades prior to the CT’s debut) that will blend right in.

​@@kestrelglassingsystems6704 not a Tesla hater .. I have a model 3 and Y but quality issues are rare with non Tesla new vehicles, especially premium vehicles. In fact I haven't had any quality control issues with the 5 new cars I've owned in my life. Your misalignment issue isn't the end of the world, but we need to collectively expect more from Tesla or at least the same as we would from any other near luxury vehicle

@@GMUTaylor6​​⁠I’m not saying we shouldn’t expect more, but I’m reporting that they seems to be trending towards better. i drove a ~5000 SN AWD CT in March and it was a train wreck. At ~15000 I’m seeing serious improvement. Kyle is speaking on his experience with a very early SN and his words (which people listen to) carry a message about quality that probably isnt any longer up to date with respect to the CT.

[@FluFFhead99]

i get that some people tow, but IMHO too much consideration is given to towing range in this analysis. 99% of buyers will not tow even once. to compromise the truck with additional weight and battery cost for the 1% would be suboptimal. it’s inconsistent to recommend the dual motor because it’s a better fit for the 99% and at the same time focus so much on towing deficiencies. since when is over 300 miles in the 70 MPH range test considered inadequate?

[@SeanHarlow]

> i get that some people tow, but IMHO too much consideration is given to towing range in this analysis. 99% of buyers will not tow even once. This statement applies equally across the entire consumer pickup truck market. The average half-ton or light 3/4 ton noncommercial pickup truck owner isn't towing anything regardless of which truck they bought, or even doing any "real truck things" (read: things I couldn't easily do with a minivan) more than once or twice a year if even that. Despite that, most of those buyers will insist that they do in fact need to be able to do those things on a moment's notice so they care about what it can hypothetically do regardless of whether they ever reasonably expect to make use of those abilities.

[@bartz118]

I will argue that it is a lot higher than 1%. Everybody in my family that owns a truck, tows with it throughout the year. Maybe not every day or every month but enough times to make it an issue buying an EV. I live in the Midwest and during the weekends the amount of people towing something is a lot ( A lot of people own side by sides or boats as well as campers). I would say 10% to 20% probably tow enough to make it an issue. Granted there are a lot of pavement princess out there.

[@danharold3087]

There is a lot of towing that is not impacted by range.

[@FluFFhead99]

i have always thought that GM's solution of "throwing batteries at the problem" is reckless, wasteful and lazy. why are we celebrating that? for every silverado or hummer EV battery pack you can make 3 regular EVs. feels like offering a "tow package" for those select folks that want to tow while road tripping makes a lot more sense.

[@paulj7181]

Good idea re ‘tow packages’ or maybe a design like v-fast with swapping different size batteries…but that’s a whole other story with logistical issues/not owning your pack🤔 Hopefully the technology changes to become more energy dense/lighter…and the choices increase!

It would be interesting to mention the fuel savings driving 60,000 miles a year. With my assumptions I could see upwards of $45,000.00 over 5 years vs my ICE truck.

[@WaywardAnalysis]

Of course, the $9000/yr would be at the expense of home charging 10+ hours every other day unless someone averages less than 100 miles/day...and in that case, why not just have a hybrid PHEV and forego the need for a 2nd car.

[@bwmanarific]

@@WaywardAnalysis maintenance of that car with oil changes even with hybrids and the fact that that car is emitting a certain amount. 60k miles a year means definitely over 100 miles a day which is intense. And eventually there will be engine or trans rebuilds so theres definitely benefits. Does the cybertruck even meet these benefits for a business idk ??? but ev trucks certainly will have their place i think. And some business get there own dc fast charging unit so the downtime on charging wont be so bad

My prediction is that the CT pack will eventually be ~185 kWh. The 4680 "canning" line could quite easily become 46120. That's 40 mm taller, less than 1.6". If you've seen the Munro pack teardown, the void space was discussed. There is plenty of room in the pack for a 40 mm taller cell AND space to vent gas if there is a "bad" battery event. Another option is going to blade or prism style packs.

[@ccibinel]

If an LFP version is viable it would be far better due to limited degradation especially when you talk about selling power back to the grid. Unfortunately if they engineered the cybertruck with only enough space for the current battery then lower energy density LFP is out (70 kwh wouldnt be enough). As he said others have far larger packs and that is one of the biggest disappointments compared to the unveil.

??? QUESTION. when you are backing up a trailer, what are the differences with the rear wheel steering when maneuvering the trailer? Thx

[@D0li0]

I think, just like the maneuverability in general, having tighter steering means you can back around a trailer better... Also, you could jack knife faster, if you're not paying attention. I saw someone blaming the truck steering for this recently, to which I thought, you can absolutely mess up the same exact way without rear steering. I really liked backing a trailer, could do tighter maneuvers, which I thought made it better and easier...

To match the two packs together, they will have to be the same chemistry and the same number of series cells. It will also have to have an identical system to split and extra wires to carry the split in paralleled 400 V. Differences in integration does not matter, because the voltage range is still the same. The capacity is just simply different. But it definitely has to be the same chemistry. There is no way to connect an LFP

[@MarcB707]

Cyber truck has grown on me. Still probably to “tech bro” for me😂 Starting to see them semi regularly now (maybe 2-3 owners in area).

I hope Rivian adds rear wheel steering at some point. 🔥

[@HL99DMD]

Very nice review. Comprehensive !!! 👍

[@juliuscheng5788]

I wonder what the current used values of these things are now - especially since the vehicle is becoming less rare. Doesn't feel like it has kept its value compared to early Model 3's.

[@artemZinn]

Just over $100k for AWD FE, but soon to crush for sure, besides design and rareness it’s just not enough hardware & software to objectively justify $100k.

[@roberts316]

They're still selling for more used than new. Of course, once the pre-orders are all filled and production has ramped enough they'll start reducing prices.

[@pfunk768]

For bidirectional, since there are only two power pins on the NACS plug, don't you need an autotransformer with your gateway to get 120v in addition to 240v? How expensive is that?

[@krslavin]

I think Tesla Powershare uses the NACS receptacle to provide high voltage DC from the batteries, and have the 120V/240V inverter in the wall module. It's difficult to get details right now, but that would make sense, as it puts the additional DC->AC conversion weight and cost in the wall unit.

[@pfunk768]

@@krslavin A portion of the video was about how Tesla is doing bidirectional differently from others by converting to AC on board the vehicle.

[@krslavin]

@@pfunk768 Is that using the Cybertruck Nema 14-50 connector? If so, then it wouldn't work for other Tesla vehicles, which cannot output AC on the NACS connector either (older hardware).

[@Storm3451]

btw: why has the truck lass grunt then the Plaid sedan? just wondering?

[@bengerendash]

Weighs a ton more

Kyle I got set 315’s takeoffs u can have ( decent tread )

[@Derpy1969]

What X link?

[@Bli8]

great video Kyle but you forgot to show us how easy it is to swat the truck, also would like to see how far off the ground the tailgate is once swatted.

[@PaulCHa]

What does swat mean?

[@JohnFabrega]

I think maybe squat

[@stevedowler2366]

We love to check in on your latest trials and a few tribulations with all the vehicles you've brought our way. Thanks and cheers.

[@raymondthompson8729]

It is my understanding once the range extender is in stalled it does not come out.

[@Jethr001]

YES, Tesla’s thermal management is good in some areas EXCEPT charging! I hook up my CB and it starts in the 200s then quickly drops to the low 100s eventually in the 70s. I cant spend an hour charging!! What might the $16K range extender bring.

[@vhol93]

23:00 super cool

[@ryanfinley200]

In reference to the Silverado ev. How many have been produced? Can people actually get those? Is there demand. Tesla says they are up to 1,300 Cybertrucks produced per week. How many Silverados are being produced?

[@ronolsberg1468]

Someone needs to do some serious testing and do a video on why Phantom drain is so high while parked. I have read many comments on the internet regarding high phantom drain but no one has seriously attempted to determine what is going on (but I may have missed it). My 2018 Model 3 had very high phantom drainage while parked the first year or two but was much lower for years 3 through 5. During Covid, when my 2018 was not driven sometimes for several days, I solved the Phantom drain by installing a quick disconnect on the 12V battery negative battery terminal. With the quick disconnect, when the vehicle went to sleep it was in a coma until I reconnected the negative terminal (no drain). My 2023 Model 3 will sleep for over six days while parked (almost no phantom drain).

[@nycameleon]

It would be nice if the RANGE EXTENDER came with a charge port upgrade for liquid immersion and a better charge curve.

[@brianborkowski5977]

What is your definition of super rare? Seen them in Knoxville and Memphis TN

[@MrSfredrik]

Would like to see a winter review of the Cybertruck in heavy snowing conditions, it might have some issues like the headlamp as you mentioned. Can you put a snow plough on the Cybertruck and make it more useful? Does it have the strength in the body for that? (Plough will cover the head lamps!).

[@danharold3087]

Use the top light bar which has not materialized yet. The front casting is designed to crumple. The the snow Plough/Plow might require some some sort of sub frame.

[@left-coast-dad]

I have to find an appropriate opportunity to use the phrase "schmutzy conditions". The Cybertruck in genuinely interesting, however I'm MUCH more interested in the fact that a Rivian R1S is in the background throughout this video, and that Kyle says "in my OLD R1T" a couple of times. New Rivian joining the Conner family soon? 👀

[@michae1601]

its ok and a larger Y in a different skin. I have a Y and in order for me to buy a new one will be a true extended range. unless battery tech get up to 500 true miles per charge, its still too much of a hassle.

[@bernardsimon1631]

Wonderful!! Thanks

[@cyumadbrosummit3534]

I'd off that thing as fast as humanly possible. Right now on the west coast they are dropping $10k per month.

[@danharold3087]

As they hit the roads in numbers the value above MSRP will drop. Started at 200% of MSRP. This is expected.

[@TestTranslator]

Feel better about getting my R1T two weeks ago. I bet we see an uptick in Rivian and other EV truck sales as Cybertruck reservation holders abandon their reservations.

[@miscellaneousdanger]

Rivian only sold 2,400 trucks first quarter, about 800 per month. Cybertruck is selling 800-1,000 Foundation Series trucks per week. Imagine sales when the FS version is done. Good luck Rivian, I'm rooting for you to stay in business long enough to make the R3X, the only interesting thing about Rivian.

[@MASF78]

I think you should add a Ram TRX to your stable for various content benefits. Give it some serious thought. 👍

[@reggiebuffat]

Kyle, please release a 15 minute version of this video.🙏

[@edwardhackett-jones8126]

There’s a five minute version right at the start of this video…

[@reggiebuffat]

@@edwardhackett-jones8126I know but still a “short” would be nice

[@xlargetophat]

Not 500 mile range was a downer.

[@matthewp1682]

I agree, even with a $16k range extender they cant get 500 miles.

[@mfurmyr]

I have yet to see the CT used by craftsmen? Is it just a toy?

[@artemZinn]

There are videos on Twitter and probably Tiktok, once the price crushes it will be used more. 10kW 240V outlet is no joke, hell you can weld out of it! I definitely plan to utilize the outlets for full electric camping setup and charge electric motorbike, but that’s not craftsmenship yea.

[@surferdude4487]

Sounds like the main drawback of the CT is the charging curve. You are not the only one to say so.
