[@mattwill63]

when i see these vehicles all i can picture are 3 trucks with 3 holes in their gas tanks leaking gas all over the ground. You are literally pissing money away them sitting overnight after you spent money filling em. The fact these vehicles dont keep all the energy you spent money on to fill them up to begin with is assinine. EV is a total scam!

[@The-Rest-of-Us]

This was really insightful. While I still love the Cybertruck for its innovative design, manufacturing and tech, it’s surprisingly not ahead on either range, storage, charging, toeing power or practicality. That’s a bit of a bummer, especially given that it came out a few years after the others…

[@Abebe345]

I personally think it is ahead on all of those for my use cases, but it depends a lot on user.

[@alexng4]

tesla took them 4 -5 years to finally come to production and range is weaker..lol..Tesla is pathetic

[@Molishious]

The 48 volt architecture, steer by wire and 4 wheel steering seem like cool innovations. The stainless steel exoskeleton and general weirdness seems unnecessary to me. I don’t quite see where a $80,000 - $120,000 vehicle fit’s into the company mission. I agree it doesn’t beat the competition on the most practical features.

[@G82Watts]

The Hummer EV is by far the best looking. I thought the cyberdork was supposed to be a tank but it looks smaller then most suvs on the road. Look up custom hummer ev. Those things are so sexy and are actually tanks on the road. The cyberdork just screams elon is my daddy. I'd be embarrassed to drive it.

[@sprockkets]

I'm a musk hater but I'll equally call out the hummer ev for also being stupid and overpriced. At least GM makes a WT and a version later that will tow 20k pounds.

[@msal4652]

Great video. My takeaway is that each truck has pros and cons so everyone should choose based on their individual use case. Whatever works for you is the best truck. Isn’t that all that really matters? No reason to bash ones you don’t like.

It would be really neat to see like a 300-500 mile road trip to some national park all done by the 3 trucks like in a caravan and then see what the charging infrastructure, amount of electricity, cost and charging times were all like. Rivian cybertruck and ford f-150 lightning

[@chiplangowski3298]

Once the Cybertruck gets into the hands of a real owners (not owners/reviewers that Tesla can count on to provide a positive review), we will see those types of comparison tests.

[@frankdelao4067]

National Parks only have level 2 charging within their boundaries. You can use a lot of power driving around the parks and not have enough to get you back out unless you charge these huge battery packs for hours.

[@YeOldeTraveller]

The 14-30 is more like the gas generator that the Ford Pro Power system is designed to replace, so I think it is a better fit for the design use case.

[@MontanaMedic13]

It's nice that each of these trucks are awesome in different ways. You really did an outstanding job of zooming through this comparison. It's definitely much more interesting than the typical ICE Ford vs GM vs Ram and Toyota.

[@iycrra75]

Nice Vid! Rivian is just a thing of beauty. It will never go out of style. Elegant but patagonian. The material, paint job, the finshes, inside and out are hands down second to none. I have 2 teslas. Cheap ass materials inside. I wouldn't get another one. Future Rivian owner here for sure.

I bought my first F-150 XLT 2021 last year, I enjoyed my truck every time I drove it, my wife 4’5” tall drives my truck with no problem. I mentioned her that I would trade in my current truck for lighting and states that she would keep my current truck then I could get the lighting. Coming from my wife who is very picky and be happy driving the f-150 and Ovell all driving from Highland CA to San Francisco with no problem and is super comfortable, hands down get me a Ford lighting. Yeah, I agree the Cybertruck is a beauty however the f-150 is more practical and overall more family-friendly. U don't even count the Rivian witch also a beauty but it is not worth it.

[@SeanMcLaughlin-gs4je]

Also of note, Lightnings are now coming with a 14-50 adapter for the 14-30R plug, but you have to either use something with a max 30A draw, or back down the draw on the device to 30a. When ordered, the mobile charger on the Lightning is 30A (as opposed to the 32A MPC that comes with Mach E) to accommodate EV charging off that adapter.

[@savagefoox3524]

There were many details that were very interesting, and seemed honest. I also think that it was fine and honest to say that he likes the Rivian best as his all round car, even though he had some criticisms to make of it. But it was like there was a block or a wall, preventing him from allowing himself to like the cyber truck more than his Rivian. a few times he sounded like he was making a criticism of the cyber drop but then said oh no this is actually the same or better. He also praised the cyber truck and it seemed like he really liked the interior and the space in the cyber truck. There seemed to be an excitement in his voice when he was talking about individual things about the cyber truck, but it was like even though he kept on saying the cyber truck is better in this way, I’m better in that way it has more space and has more room and more people etc. etc. he always seemed to hit that wall. Also a lot of criticisms that he had that were quite valid are going to be fixed or improved with software updates like the 350 max charging rate, and, the self driving software. He said he liked the cyber truck better for highway driving although it was a bit noisy which could be understandable as a downside. The cyber truck also has options to get bigger batteries which would put it above the others. Now I agree that there is an appeal to the Rivian looks that the cyber truck doesn’t have and that the looks are so different it’s hard to compare them. The Rivian has a soft more sophisticated exterior and the interior is more traditional, more in the style of luxury cars today. The cyber truck is very minimalist and clean and futuristic, which is hard to compare to, but looks great with the visibility in the sunroof. So overall, I think he was trying to be very honest, and while in someways, I wanted to criticize him the biggest criticism is it seems like he wasn’t open to let himself like the cyber truck more even though he kept on saying over and over in almost every metric that the cyber truck had more room and had an amazing tunnel cover and the drivetrain and the powertrain were better and the 220 V battery and the faster charging for the first part of the charge cycle, he just went into so many different areas and he would start to say the other truck was better, but then said oh no cyber truck better so it just seems like he hit a wall. Now he owns a Rivian so you don’t feel bad about an expensive purchase that you made for yourself and I don’t think he has a reason to feel bad about it because it’s a preference thing and from the outside of the Rivian looks pretty cool. but the cyber truck and Rivian are so different. You could own both of them and like them for different reasons. I think one of the main considerations will be how these vehicles age. Will the cyber truck get better with age and updates and will the parts of each of these trucks last? How long will these trucks have to spend in repairs and going back to the dealership for recalls, etc. but overall I appreciate this video

[@stupidas9466]

You got it wrong. He went out of his way to minimize cybertruck's many downsides and issues. I got the impression he was concerned with blowback from a large portion of his viewership that have drunk the koolaid.

[@Abebe345]

Outstanding work to you and your great team. Your ability to condense a lot of very useful information and communicate it is very good. Comprehensive reviews. You worked with what you had but would have liked to have seen the lightning in all of the videos. Great description of the features, use cases and what would make someone choose each one. Only major ommission that is a buying factor and reality is the choice of stainless steel for the exoskeleton unlike all other trucks really. Great reviews and would eventually like to see comparisons to Hybrid offerings, large EV SUVs that do overlap, and all new EV trucks coming. Great job, safe trip back, look forward to more.

[@stevenjackson7898]

Ignored the Rivian's gear tunnel when comparing the storage across the models.

[@TheRealDlo]

I was a day 1 order & I've owned my Lightning for 18 months now. -Its my daily driver -I love it -Its not for everyone -It feels and looks like a normal truck I'm 100% satisfied & I don't know that I can go back to a gas powered vehicle

[@truhartwood3170]

I am interested to see what the electric pickup options/specs will be in 5 - 10 years. The batteries should be way better by then and hopefully chargers will be much faster as well. I feel like I'd want around 600mi real-world range in a pickup, which should be totally doable in 10 years without increasing the battery weight at all. Right now the CT seems the most practical to me. It's a paradigm shift to have a pickup that has the maneuverability and acceleration of a sports car, yet with 16"+ of clearance, and you can bash it all day with a sledgehammer and do no damage. Spacious cab and bed to boot. I'm imagining being able to hide a winch in the frunk with a cutout in the hood for the rollers, and gear boxes on either side of the winch for your towing/winching gear. Your winch and cables would all be kept nice and dry in there, and it wouldn't change the aerodynamics or approach angle.

[@JohnFitzmaurice]

Oops! Forgot to mention the Rivian's gear tunnel which I think is one of the truck's most useful features.

[@lrod8692]

The best part about the Lightning is the software is secondary to the truck, meaning, you don’t need the software to drive it. There are no fart sounds or gimmicks. Just a Truck with a Battery.

[@Shiftheads]

That's actually a disadvantage to legacy auto. You have one company making powertrain then another on infotainment and another on hvac etc. So many modules made from different manufacturers makes it way less seamless and reliable than building hardware and software together.

[@lrod8692]

@@Shiftheads so far so good with the Lightning. People confuse software, true software that runs all those modules to the gimmicks in the entertainment system. When people say “Tesla has the best software” and you ask them why, they immediately start talking about the entertainment options or how you have to go through two screens to open the glove box. As far as the EV software itself, the Lightning is probably better than Tesla, I own a Model 3 and the Lightning is far better drive wise.

[@Shiftheads]

@@lrod8692 I'm not talking about entertainment stuff though. I'm talking about everything from ui of their app to their throttle mapping, bms, inverter package. To open the glove box you literally just push the button on the steering wheel and say open the glove box lol.

[@lrod8692]

@@Shiftheads yeah and the Lightning is right on par or better than Tesla. I own both of them so have direct comparison. Even AP is subpar to BC. I cant say anything about FSD because I dont have it but will eventually subscribe for a month to compare. This false narrative that Tesla is superior is just not true, and the CT is really proof of it. It's mid pack at best.

[@Shiftheads]

@@lrod8692 I'm not saying Ford is worse or tesla is better I'm saying legacy auto companies are going to have a hard time going full EV when they have all these suppliers. One for belts and hoses, one for engines, ones for abs modules etc. They are huge ships that can't move and can't manufacture. Why do you think they all just announced they investing less in electric vehicles? They can't compete with the costs to manufacture. I think the lightning is great. I love that there are options.

The Cybertruck for me is for people who are bought in to the Tesla dream or get FOMO a lot or frankly extroverts.

The rating should which one will people buy and use as an actual truck. I say the Lighting followed by the Rivian and last is the Cyber truck. The lightning is obvious, but the Rivian will mostly be used as a daily while sometimes used as a truck to pick up something that won’t fit in a car. It will also be used as a truck for camping more I feel. Is the cyber truck also capable just like the Rivian? Yes.

We bought an F150 Lightning Lariat ER. We’d had a chance to drive a friend’s R1T, and liked it, but Rivian suffers from the same issue as we already face with our Tesla Model Y: no service availability. The nearest Rivian service is in a Boston suburb. That’s 3+ hours away. The nearest Tesla service stations are in Boston suburbs and an Albany, NY suburb. All 3 hours away. Our Ford dealer is 16 minutes from the house, and they’ll come pick up the truck, provide service, and return it. That was a selling point in going to look at the Lightning. What we’ve discovered since buying it is we LOVE driving it. BlueCruise is more comfortable to drive than Tesla’s FSD. It does less, but what it does, it does SO well. We road tripped it this past week to a family property a few hours away, charged it there, and drove back home. We had the bed filled with tools, chainsaw (just in case) and supplies needed at the cabin. Oh, and a powered cooler in the bed, plugged in to ProPower for the trip down and back. The Frunk held a 7 gallon fresh water carrier (water systems are shut down in the cabin for the winter), plus clothing and bedding. Back seats folded up, with our musical instruments and some food stuff in the spacious area there. Our truck arrived with an adapter that goes into the twist-lock 240v outlet and adapts to L14-50R. BTW, that twist lock 240v is what is on portable generators that handle 240v, so it actually does make sense if you’re connecting to a temporary generator port on a house, as that’s the cable style used, not L14-50. The Lightning is incredibly quiet on the road. Our Model Y is loud with road noise. Comfort-wise, the Lightning is far beyond our Model Y. And yes, having a truck that’s a truck is great where we live, dealing with dirt roads and driving on the hay fields and such. We live in an area where full size pickups are common, and where people turn their noses up at EVs. Lots of folks don’t even realize our truck is electric except that it’s so quiet. The Model Y is going to get sold in the near future.

Do some bed size measurements. For length, the F-150 Lightning is 5.5', I think the Rivian is only like maybe 5? The Cybertruck may be 6' at the bottom, but the back of the cab extends backwards into the bed, so may be only 5.5ish towards the top edge. What a lot of times is missed though is width. The F-150 is about 4'2" between the wheel humps, and about 5'2" from bed edge to bed edge. What is the Rivian? And most interestingly, given that the Cybertruck doesn't have wheel humps, I'm wondering if it's overall width is generally less than the other trucks or if they found a way to provide a similar width bed without humps.

CT has no spare (as you point out) and no dedicated storage spot for one, even if you pay the additional $1,350. for optional spare. Disappointing deal killer. If you suffered a flat, replacement size would be hard to find, and your day would likely include getting towed. Yikes.

[@crimsondecade7420]

Range extender + spare tire = no bed

[@TroySavary]

​@@crimsondecade7420You would probably need to have the tire vertical to make it fit with the range extender, which means open tonneau cover. That would eat up the extra range from carrying the extender.

[@GudieveNing]

TBH, whilst a Tesla fan, I would have any one of them. But having sat in both the Rivian and Lightning, I didn't like the design of the Rivian interior, in particular then steering wheel controls. I have a Cybertruck on order here in the UK.

[@margu4u]

Good comparison, but to be fair/clear, most of (your) cons of the CT are just initial/temporary ! ... - no AP (will come soon for sure !) - softw. blocked differential lock - charging curve (350kw / 800v / v4) - range will improve w/ normal tires too (+ extender option coming) ... so shouldn't really be relevant cons for a buying decision, just initial stuff ! And it has some pros that the others can't update later (i.e. big cabin + big bed, but shorter anyway / steer by wire / no dents scratches). And the only real adv. of the lightning is the deeper frunk (but the ct frunk is more useable than rivians nevertheless (which is only useable for light stuff). ...The ct will soon have a ton of accesories too. PS. think the ct is even the better work truck !! ... ...no dents or scratches ! ...better turning radius (rear wheel steer) ...easier to steer ! (steer by wire)

[@gill18az]

you should post what delivery number was that tesla !

[@Rx100Vx]

Rivian everyday and twice on Sunday’s .

[@xavierdupuis8]

Hell yeah 💪

[@akira28shima32]

Rivian is safer choice, but they will have to use 48 V architecture from Cybertruck to save 30-40 lbs of copper wire and save money, as they’re losing $30K each vehicle they sell.

[@canieto1]

I’m totally a cybertruck fanboi, but I still think the Rivian is fucking dope!

[@Rx100Vx]

I feel all 3 trucks cater to various needs . The most important thing is more choice is good for everyone.

[@wolfgangpreier9160]

Rivian only on Sunday going for a nice glamping trip with Mistress. Cybertruck the rest of the week.

[@Jason-ob1pu]

Can we get a sprited drive test on the f150 please!

[@tymanot]

Rivian for me here in Germany. The rest of the fleet is way too large and the strange Tesla monster hopefully will never get certified for Germany.

[@Dqtube]

I'm 98% sure they don't meet pedestrian and cyclist safety requirements with this thing.

[@Abebe345]

It should qualify if other heavy duty do.

[@TheReal_JG]

Off tangent - it's a bit funny to see you do your comparison at my local Top Golf.

[@CalvinHikes]

Starts at 2:05

[@ItsEverythingElse]

Lightning for me. Maybe a Cyber eventually but I ain't paying $80k for one.

[@wolfgangpreier9160]

The Lightning costs more than 80K. Or are you a fleet operator and get the Pro?

[@JimMorrison-d4n]

So you can always call your buddy with the cybertruck to pull you out of a ditch when your lightning or rivian is stuck.

[@litestuffllc7249]

I liked the review; but I didn't hear any notice to people regarding Cybertruck wait time - which is 40 years at the current rate of production. Just a bit of a prod at Tesla because after 6 weeks of production they haven't hit 500 deliveries yet. Ford Made 1500: F150 lightnings in their first week, and there after until they had their orderback log covered. So Cybertruck right now isn't really avaiable for years to anyone looking to buy one new.

[@ordinaryhuman5645]

Where have you seen delivery numbers? I don't think Tesla has published anything on that yet. Also worth asking, compared to what? I'd be surprised if there were not more Cyber trucks produced within a year of deliveries beginning than Ford or Rivian did in year 1 with their trucks. Doesn't help much for someone ordering today though... long waits for sure.

[@notnotjake]

wow! next to these other trucks the cybertruck just looks so much more epic and powerful. the design is gonna be a classic, just give it time.

[@sprockkets]

It already looks like sht

[@Factory400]

CYBERTRUCK: "Look at ME! Look at ME! I worship Elon and believe that saving 30lbs on wiring really is a personal benefit" RIVIAN: "I have a lot of money to spend on a vehicle because I don't have kids and go camping once every few years. " LIGHTNING: "I just need a utility vehicle that can cover the vast majority of a busy work and family life and we have a gas SUV when we go on National Park vacations."

[@Sunny-i8d6y]

I think the pyramid truck will charge much faster in the future… Tesla always goes slow initially with new platforms.

[@TroySavary]

Nope. The 4680 Model Y still charges slowly. Those batteries just suck.

[@sprockkets]

You realize that it charges slower than anything because the battery is 2x the size of their cars, right?

[@TroySavary]

@@sprockkets No, the rate of charge is slow. Not just the actual time it takes. The charging curve is pretty bad, especially for a large battery.

[@sprockkets]

@@TroySavary exactly. To be par would mean it should have a flat curve deep into the high soc.

[@kokleilze7391]

EVDave in NC has a Lightning and a R1T. He tried taking the Lightning to Wyoming in the winter and the truck lost so much range he ended up borrowing an ICE truck from a friend and leaving behind the Lightning during the trip. He had also had a Mach-E. I don’t think he likes Ford navigation and that software updates had to be done at a Ford dealer.

[@litestuffllc7249]

Long waits are one thing, decades another. Where can you see the cybertrucks - there is a fellow here on yourtube - who flies his drone over the Austin plant every day - if you monitor that you can see exactly how many Tesla produces; I'm actually generous there has only been 245 Cybertrucks roll out of that plant as of 14 Jan. Cybertruck deliveries will be low compared to F150 Lightning or Rivian even; reason, the entire delay is the screwed up 4680 cell which they can't produce efficiently.

[@Ou8y2k2]

Musk porked the cybertruck. Rivian tried for a boutique offroader and succeeded but it isn't very versatile. I'm not a Ford guy, but I think they made the best electric truck with the Lightning. It can do anything and is big enough for a family.

[@dand6005]

Great, honest review!!!

[@jackjetpilot]

Excellent overview!

[@faisal181]

Where did you see one for $39k I've never seen one that cheap from a dealer!

[@jamespatrick5930]

Cybertruck: I’m looking for High Visibility light gathering corner markers for the frunk front corners so as to know where they are at.

[@BillWiltsch]

I can't take a Rivian seriously with those Betty Boop headlights. Looks like a rolling cartoon playtruck.
