Tesla Cybertruck Review // We Drove It Over 500 Miles...And Oh Boy

The 2024 Cybertruck Cyberbeast ($99,990 starting in the US) is possibly the most polarizing and most unique new vehicle on the market today. Sharp edges and acute angles along with an ultra-durable stainless steel exterior make for a truck like none other before it. But is it more than just a unique mars-rover looking novelty? And does the Cybertruck’s range live up to the expectations? Thomas and James are excited to take the new Cyberbeast on a not-so-mini Throttle House Road Trip. We hope you enjoy the episode! And then subscribe, silly.

Tesla needs atleast 450wh/kg battery cells to make this truck real practical,if they can manage to have 400wh/kg in pack level energy density with 100 kwh battery pack it will weigh 500 kg or 1100 lbs lighter than it is,with lighter chassis and lighter drive units with weight of 60 kg or 132 lbs each they can save 700 kg or 1540 lbs in total from this amazing truck with super low energy consumption 12kwh/100 km or 19.2 kwh/100 miles new gen e drive units you will have about 550 miles real world range,then it will be really what cybertruck needs to be,panasonic stated that they will produce silicon anode 21700 cell later 2024 with 50 percent more energy per unit.if they manage to mass produce this new 2170 cells and tesla make new generation e drive units we can expect 2026 cyber truck with new drive train and 700 kg or 1540 lbs lighter in weight and range of 550 miles on a single charge

I don’t understand how Pop Up Headlight’s were discontinued due to pedestrian safety of the lights being “sharp”, but then allows Tesla to make a damn Knife on wheels in the name of cutting edge technology (pun intended) that can slice a small hand.

[@thalessousa8588]

[@tumsfestival8027]

Because Elon is a troll, and I’m sure the designers looked at the rule book, followed it to the T, to prove some misguided point about regulation, disregarding the spirit of the regulations

[@manicmaniac69]

It’s because other cars are sold in global markets where they actually have pedestrian safety laws. North America has none and has always just relied on foreign markets to regulate our cars for us.

[@zdwade]

As of now 41 idiots like this comment. The us has no rules regarding pop up headlights for pedestrian safety. That is a European rule of course. Elon already said the cybertruck wont be sold outside of US. He built a car the way he wanted. F the world. Come to America if you want one.

[@garrymullins]

Are you sure they were banned strictly due to pedestrian safety? Pop-up headlights make a lot less sense in the era of daytime running lights. Maintenance costs of pop-up headlights were already a concern, but when you need them to pop-up literally every time the car is driven, that increases wear and tear significantly.

The carrot test. I heard of the moose test. All sorts of tests. But not the carrot test. :) I see the frunk lid coming down on the carrots. You know the rubber trim around the door openings? Put something like that on the underside of the frunk lid edge. It’s better to have rubber squeeze your finger than that raw sharp steel. Also I had a Mac laptop that had a sharp edge so I used a bit of sandpaper to dull down the sharpness. And it worked! Of course, don’t overdo it and make a knife edge, just make it round to the feel. Some locations where panels meet and don’t come apart like with doors and lids, these joints could be filled with black or charcoal grey caulking. Put enough in so skin can’t reach the sharp edge. It should be barely noticeable if carefully done. And it makes the truck a bit more child proof. I also saw how much the steel shows fingerprints and scratches. People making outdoor plaster on a house make a rough design because if they made it perfectly smooth the smallest nick would be noticeable. Superficial designs could be ground into the steel not deep enough that it can’t be buffed out but deep enough to have some durability and get noticed. So this could be swirls over all the surfaces or floral designs just where fingerprints usually show up. Or it could be a whole mural over the whole truck. Or a combination of these. So the way a tattoo is unique to one person, your Cybertruck would have a look unique to it, which could be covered up with a wrap for a change of pace. This idea could be pushed more by applying colour into some of the deepest grooves to give it a more noticeable look. One look would be intentionally make it look like it experienced the apocalypse, with red and orange and yellow and blue rust colours.
