Santa is switching to the CyberTruck!

[@drewksidetour]

The older gentleman’s voice could narrate films and be awesome at it

[@brucec954]

Feels like you should have been playing ZZ-Top for your guest while driving in the CT.......

[@macgyverfever]

Pros: The suspension in it is so good the entire family pass out on road trips. The sound system is like none other, and I came from a Model Y performance. The steer-by-wire just cannot be praised enough, so much so that I get hysterical when people call it 'just a stainless steel refrigerator'. The range is better than I could have asked for (77% original range at 80 mph), and the offroad experience is unreal. Moving the viser to the left opens up that already huge windshield and makes road tripping extremely relaxing. The 18.5" screen is freaken awesome. Rear leg room for 6' 2" dude is damn good. Cons: The ventilated seats need to be improved, and misty days make the windshield wiper squeak because it's so overkill. I scratched my leg just enough to bleed when I lost control of the door because I was on a slight incline. I hit a limb which knocked the right-side door pillar plastic cover off (though it did snap back on).

My 21,XXX VIN Cybertruck is literally perfect. I haven't found a SINGLE thing wrong with it. It's perfect!

[@ZipZoomZip]

So is mine. It's in the 4,XXX VIN range.

[@Deetroiter]

I can’t get over that turning radius, that’s just wild.

[@ZipZoomZip]

The Cybertruck's nimble turning radius is very useful and empowering. I feel free again!

[@Longsnowsm]

I agree with your tester. I am a skinflint on electricity. So I have a M3 for the efficiency. And I also need and use a truck, but I would never put enough miles on the truck to make it pay for it at those prices. I figured this out after already spending a lot of money on a new truck a couple of years ago. Like you said in the video this is the money is no object audience and it is a lifestyle rig. I will watch the used EV trucks drop to half price and then maybe it makes sense like an F150 Lightning so it wouldn't be so painful to get into the EV truck. But it would have to be a price is right game. The real question mark for me is the towing range. When I use my truck it is for truck things and many times I am towing. Sometimes it is just short distances to town and back, but other times it is multiple back to back pulls bringing in hay from fields and the distances can get long and it is both on road and off road use. I don't have time to make a run, go into town and DCFC for 40-50 minutes and go make another run etc. That happens once a year typically. This year I didn't need that much hay so it was 3 runs at about 60 miles per loop pulling around 8k lbs. But a normal year it would have been 6 to 8 runs out and back. You have to be flexible, and have the right tool for the job. I can't see owning 2 trucks when 1 truck will do the job. The current truck doesn't get in the way of getting the work done. Time is money and time matters, weather changes and you have to get hay out of the field. That makes the EV truck a harder sell. That Silverado EV probably gets much closer to that target with the monster battery and fast charging times, but again it would have to be in the used category and half price before I would be nudged to make the change. The Lightning prices are getting there in the used market.

[@BlackstonianTRD]

Test drove the CT at the same location recently and I love it. I enjoy it more than my 23 Tundra! Also test drove the R1T and I like it the best for the size.

[@CHITECHDUDE]

I am a cybertruck owner, I was freaking at the price but one thing we must understand it comes fully loaded. You get FSD (one of these days 😜) but we are also getting PowerShare which honestly people are overlooking that if you got the power wall devices that can easily be $40k+. I think personally it’s decent value compared to some competition out there to be frank.

[@PodiumTuningRacing]

If I had the funds I'd definitely do the founders edition, the value is insane

[@badam1814]

Nissan Leaf has reverse charging/home backup too though, and it sounds like most EV’s are coming with that feature and it will be a standard feature in a couple of years.

[@ZipZoomZip]

@@badam1814 The Nissan Leaf has home backup? It doesn't even have a battery thermal management system (beyond blowing air through the batteries).

[@badam1814]

@@ZipZoomZip Sure does. I posted a link, but I think KZbin removed it.

[@ZipZoomZip]

@@badam1814 How much power can the Nissan Leaf supply to the home without the batteries over-heating? The Cybertruck can supply around 11.5 kW which is enough for homes without heavy electrical draw like electric on-demand water heaters, large air conditioners, etc.

[@ZipZoomZip]

I love the toughness of the stainless steel. My last truck, an F-150, would get scratched beating through brush and dinged in parking lots from other doors or shopping carts. The Cybertruck just shrugs everything off without damage, beating through brush is fun again. I used to feel so nervous because I knew I was rubbing the dirt into that fragile clearcoat. And my F-150 would sway side-to-side on rugged roads with potholes, the ride was tiring, the Cybertruck is smooth, like a magic carpet ride.

[@chucklee9291]

As a Rivian owner, I test drove a CT. CT features Better suspension, more cargo, better rear leg room, better turning radius, you feel super rigid body, I am sold. Then there is FSD soon available. I ordered one.

[@teamtoken]

Stop lying on the internet, you never had a Rivian

[@HenryBabcock]

Lol sure. Nobody with an actual nice truck like a Rivian (I actually own one) would downgrade to this joke vehicle.

[@RivMike205]

All things considered-it is a great ride.

[@ItsBinhRepaired]

Definitely! I love mine!

[@ZipZoomZip]

@@ItsBinhRepaired Me too. Too much for words. Now my wife tells me she's getting one also!

[@ItsBinhRepaired]

@@ZipZoomZip haha nice!

[@johnpoldo8817]

If you want to see an impressive U-turn, test drive an EQS 580 with 10 degree rear steering. For a very long sedan, this EV turns and parks with great ease. The SUV version probably performs similar. I'm spoiled, so now want every new EV to have rear wheel steering.

[@harriettanthony7352]

"Rear Wheel Steering"? A dandy 'toy', but you will 'be selling your first born' to pay for the repairs! No thanks, not for this writer, I like my 'peasant version' Kia Niro

[@johnpoldo8817]

@@harriettanthony7352 Yup, I rented a Kia Niro from Hertz last week on a business trip. It was terrific.

[@johnpoldo8817]

@@harriettanthony7352 When you can make a U-turn in a single turn of the wheel, it’s no toy. We’ve worked hard enough and smart enough to afford this luxury. But, I rented a Kia Niro last week while on a business trip and enjoyed this value priced EV.

[@Rattooth_Ed]

I was an early reservation holder and just passed on my non foundation series cybertruck after test driving a ford f150 lightning. I traded my model 3 which I e had for 5 years for the ford. I just can’t get past how cheap and poorly put together the cybertruck I test drove was. It drove okay but aside from that felt cheap and poorly designed. I really wanted to like it I was a 112xxx reservation holder and loved my model 3 which I put 75k miles on. After driving my model 3 for 5 years the ford felt luxurious and much higher quality than cybertruck. Cybertruck isn’t ready yet but maybe in 5 years after they ditch the steel and that terrible design. The dash was just ridiculous driving around.

[@bearlemley]

When they make the RH beast, I will have one I would love to have the full size version they were going to make. And number one, it needs a camera above the bed so it won’t get packed with dirt so fast. Then have the electric review mirror that could select either rear camera. Actually, that would be good for most teslas, including my MYp

[@danharold3087]

Some Chrysler cars had the rear view mirror mounted on the dash in the same position as the CT is showing the rear view. Good thing for Chrysler in 1959 that social media did not exist.

[@jamesgreene3268]

Huge miss on this review is not demoing the front end camera system. One click on the steering wheel and it will show you exactly your turning clearance. Total game changer, removes all the concerns of blind spots.

[@VedaSay]

Not sure how good a truck that is but looks an awesome gaming simulator! Put it on a treadmill and race around !

[@danharold3087]

Theory is that the truck they are sitting in will be $80K in the non Foundation trim. So Tesla has it spot on.

[@claus1225]

60k

[@ItsBinhRepaired]

I have a feeling they'll do something to keep the price higher.

[@ZipZoomZip]

Not anytime soon. Because the truck they were sitting in comes with FSD, and FSD is on the verge of becoming a whole lot more expensive very soon.

[@danharold3087]

@@ZipZoomZip While what you say is true. It does not make what I said false. The truck in the non foundations trim will be $80K. I expect that Tesla will price FSD higher for robo taxi use and lower for personal use. Maybe charge by the passenger mile sort of thing. I expect this is under discussion at Tesla.

[@andrewdubose9968]

Non-foundation implies that they’re finally gotten the actual production line figured out. No longer a small-scale open beta version.

[@robp3431]

Party trick acceleration, but once that wear's off, market will be flooded with these things. Tesla needs to scrap it and go back to the drawing board focusing on range, efficiency and real practicality

[@enricio]

Your guest makes me think about ZZ Top. 😎🎹🎻🤸

@3:39 Nah, I still floor my Model X Plaid when I see an open road with zero consequences. Shhhh.... don't tell.

[@George_Shonia]

what I don't understand in that videos: title says owner of this owner of that trying cybertruck first time & what I seen in videos is that, they just sit on passenger seat.. lol that's not what "trying" means... you have to let them drive away from very beginning...

[@Leonardokite]

Definitely a rich boy toy.

[@mowensmd]

Like all trucks, all are just cosplay. Nobody serious drives a truck for work

[@Leonardokite]

@@mowensmd That couldn't be further from the truth. Even the old dude in this video noted that his ICE truck didn't have that many miles on it because he only used it when it was necessary as a truck. There are a lot of people that need a truck where the cybertruck just won't work out. And I'll agree that there are also, probably the majority, that a truck is basically just their everyday vehicle has an enhanced toy.

[@Leonardokite]

I forgot, one of the best reviews of the Cyber truck and how it fits into some people's lifestyles and others not, and for many various reasons, but anyhow Tucker Carlson did a pretty darn cool review. It's on KZbin or you can access it on TCN website.

[@mowensmd]

@@Leonardokite I'm never, ever giving FUcker Carlson views. Data shows most truck owners don't offroad, don't tow and rarely use truck bed. HEAVY DUTY towing like this dude may use a super duty rarely, and get farm subsidy for it. Most workers instead choose a van. Most outdoors folks choose SUVs. Most trucks are cosplay.

[@LaJuanHughes]

Do they have cybertruck tesr drives in rocklin.

[@edya4724]

they need to make a shorter, r1s version of this and it might actually sell

[@magallon643]

What are you talking about? There's over 2 million people waiting for CT.

[@notsecure]

Elon mentioned that they will make smaller version for Europe.

[@dvader3263]

The CyberTruck is shorter in length and height than a 2024 midsized Toyota Tacoma double cab long bed. It is of course a bit wider and a lot heavier than the Tacoma.

[@mshonle]

Hmm, small comment, but strange that you didn’t by instinct/habit use the carpool on ramp…

[@NeonNow-ib4sh]

In 18 months when Rivian is Bk and cant FSD, I def wouldn't want one.

[@takenoshortcuts]

People aren't waiting for a better price. People know it's a rip off compared to what was intended. People know it's not all it's meant to be. People know it's 100k for a poser-vehicle. Only so many people want a poser-vehicle and fewer can afford it. People know Elon is stirring hate in America and that he wants a seat at the oligarch table, along with madman trump. Sales will remain slow at any price Tesla can sell these at (and make money).

[@n1trkrob300]

Take it in the mud next to your diesel. Then tell me what you think

[@Boomtendo4tw]

Idk why we have to complicate door handles. Just make them mechanical. If your battery in the rare case starts apewing out flames, you don't have time to eff with electronics

[@Dularr]

It's the stainless steel panels. There is an emergency pull cord.

[@TailosiveEV]

Lots of automakers are going this way because it saves money in manufacturing. (Rivian included) best fire is no fire

[@TroySavary]

​@Dularr What good is an emergency pull cord if it is hidden?

@@TroySavary I agree. It's a bit of a risk. It's important that passangers and first responders know of the emergency release.

So many variables here. If the battery is conditioned prior to charge it should charger to 100%. If the cabin is heated while charging that helps. Battery produce heat in use so that should help keep the battery warm. etc. The guy wanting to show how bad it is will charge a cold battery and start off in a cold car driving 80MPH with the heat cranked up to 80F.

[@ItsBinhRepaired]

13f or C? Lol

[@eucryan]

Poor range and non existent infrastructure in areas away from an interstate made me cancel cybertruck order. People would pay 100k if could go an actual 500 miles as previously hyped. My model Y has a range of 230 to 250 miles which is pathetic in my area. Majority of towns do not have a CCS, J1172, or Nacs.

[@NischGTM]

I got 320 miles over 87% of my battery on a recent road trip in my CT. That's more range than my Corvette or Viper get on a full tank of gas. The "majority of towns" do. You just live in BFE. That's a YOU problem. They are all over the place and I have yet to have troubles taking a road trip in any of my Teslas

[@eucryan]

@@NischGTM The comment I made is about Me, so yes it is a me problem, duh. I live near 3 bigger towns that do not have nacs chargers in their towns. Fort collins, Greeley, and Loveland, CO. The only DC Nacs chargers are right off the interstate. Every BFE has multiple fuel stations. If people are forced to own EV's then infrastructure should be available in BFE. Sounds like all your road trips are near an interstate.

[@ien2023]

You hear that Elon? People are holding off. Your foundation is not selling anymore. Chill your ego Elon. It's at a point where you love Tesla techs but you hate the CEO antics.

[@ryanstubbs3211]

It's the best selling EV truck, though it hasn't been in the market for a year yet. It's supposed to be profitable in it's first year. Others have been in the market for years, yet still aren't profitable.

[@NischGTM]

So you think one person holding off speaks for the entire population? 🙄 When I picked up my Cyberbeast, there were half a dozen other people waiting to pick up for the 5:00 time slot and DOZENS of trucks waiting for pickup at a single location here in Phoenix. They have tens of thousands out now and it's the best selling EV truck. Hating on a car because of the CEO is an odd choice. If you can do better, go for it.
