Hi Nick 😃 Thanks for the interesting overview. - I imagine it would be exciting to drive around town with this monster. 🤪 - And if I were a rancher in Montana, it would probably be more of a toy. 😉
Great review as usual. We have three of them running around our city, and I told my roommate while we were in his S580, stay away from it, you don’t want it to damage your car. Ha ha ha ha. Anyways, one of the RUclipsrs I follow is hoovies garage. He did a partial take apart, and it was startling what he found on his one week old cyber truck.
Really sorry I don’t know the cost as it’s not been revealed to the UK as it won’t be sold here. I believe though they start around $81,895 according to online results, but check with Tesla to be sure 👍🏼
Sadly it would have to be someone in the USA to test that (unless Tesla flew me out to the states). I’m sure it’s gone back to the USA now. Would love to drive one though and test it out!
I can’t stick to just covering Mercedes I‘ve done RUclips full time now since last year when I made an announcement video. And besides I’ll reveal the true reason to why I decided to cover more brands in the future one day. If you just want the Mercedes stuff that I film on my car, new models and at my local dealer, I add those videos to dedicated playlists on my homepage.
Hi nick, just a random question.. if you were given the choice to choose between Gla 200 v Cla 200 premium plus 2024 model, which one would you go for, as i am not sure which one to buy.
If I didn’t have a dog, 🐶 then I’d go CLA. It was on my list to buy one but went with A-Class instead for cost savings. But now I have a dog a GLA would definitely be better! I’ve reviewed both have you watched both videos?
@npoleary thank you so much for your quick reply. I have watched your Gla review but i haven't watched Cla review which i will watch as i tought you didn't do one. I am going with Cla which o really love and within my budget. You are simply amazing, you are the reason i still stay with mercedes as your reviews are amazing and you make it simple to understand.
The steering wheel is way lighter than a normal car, so you barely have to turn the wheel to do a turn so the steering wheel barely turns a few degrees to do a left or right turn. However when you do turn it round further, I guess it’ll just be muscle memory! 🤓
I think the X class, was only made for two years. And it was based on a Nissan truck as a joint venture. The front looked amazingly Mercedes, the rear totally Nissan. And the finish inside wasn’t the greatest. I wish Mercedes would make a truck again From the ground up, I would buy one.
I live in Canada 🇨🇦 how is this gonna be in possible to get parts to Canada if it breaks down? Answer tht I think I would get pulled over by a officer of where is my lics plate
Well I don’t know about a Mercedes Guyyy 😅 I drive one as a daily and have made a fair few videos on them 😂 but that’s about it That would be cool, sadly not heard of anything If I hear anything I’ll make a video!
Not lawyers, probably designers 😂 Simple make it less pointy, curve those edges out and reduce the weight (so probably less range) *added note, there’s probably way more than that.
I don't understand manufacturers' infatuation with electronic door latches. I imagine the engineers have "developed" a way of mechanically accessing the vehicle if the battery dies, but for safety reasons, they need a mechanical back-up inside the vehicle in the event of an emergency. Some manufacturers hide them in inconvenient places, which, in an emergency will probably be the cause of death, but in the Cybertruck's case, it is more convenient than the electronic release button. What's the point?
If usually you drive a Unimog or a large van or a Horsebox then you ought to feel at home driving something that large. All the vehicles mentioned are legally used on our roads so I don’t see who this ought to be seen as illegal here in the uk.
Pickups aren't that rare in the UK. Farmers, plumbers and the like use Ford Rangers, Toyota, Nissan models etc. I can drive up 7.5 tonnes on my standard older UK car license.
Looks hideous, but an awesome piece of marketing noise for Tesla currently. Saying that, is it badged as a Tesla or have they avoided it, to limit its future damage to the Tesla brand or visa versa? Not a thing for safety on UK or European roads. Will be a fun object for a car museum in years to come, to grab a photo next to.
The most hideous monstrosity of a motor vehicle ever created, it looks like it was designed by a 6 year old & built by his grandfather in his garden shed.
Nothing wrong with designing a concept car and actually going through with the designs to make it work in real life. But the amount of head turning it did yesterday in London is out of this world!
I hope & pray that monstrosity never gets certification to be allowed to be driven on any road in Europe, including & especially not any roads here in the UK.
Well for starts it’s way too big and yes would need quite a bit of modification to even work here. I haven’t heard any rumours of it doing so. However…as something to look at you can’t deny that it’s a head turner. Honestly I’ve never seen so many people, even people who were running late for work, stop and take photos.
Thoughts, one of the ugliest vehicles I've ever seen. Would I photograph is yes, but not because I think it's nice. More because it's a spectacle. Also, I'm not sure it's the weight that stops it being sold here. It'll certainly have a significant effect on widespread adoption but anyone with the right license can drive. What does prevent it being here is how quickly it'll kill you if you're a pedestrian. I don't believe it meets NCAP standards for pedestrian impact.
I wouldn't buy one. Like, ever. All over the internet are articles, comments, tweets and YT videos of what a rubbish vehicle it is, including being dangerous, rusting within days, and more. If and when I buy my first electric vehicle it will NOT be a Tesla.
I can’t comment on long term use as I couldn’t drive it so this video is not labelled as a “Review”. But I can and have tested the Model 3 and Model Y. They are nothing like the Cybertruck from the points you mentioned, they are actually pretty decent. So, quick question if not a Tesla what EV would you consider in the future? What brand or model? 🤓
if I'm honest Nick its the ugliest car ever made, no style too sharp angles that will kill instantly for a pedestrian and I'm glad its not coming over here.
It’s out there for sure! It’s almost like a concept car that was designed for the future but instead of going through the usual process it went straight to production and boom! They we go! It’s fascinating to look at though, one of the reasons why I travelled to London to see it. I missed the Northern Lights on the night though because of it :(
@@npolearySorry Nick but if you forgave seeing the Northern lights in order to view this design disaster which is arguably the ugliest car ever, you need some help.
I review cars for a living this is my job now I do this full time. Not sure people will have wanted to watch Northern Lights on my channel anyway, not really related to cars! 😅
I would guess that this channel is not inherently anti EV so the massive wave of negativity in the comments shows how lousy this thing is. Whoever thought it was a good idea to make a car that resembled a public urinal ?
I think it's more that's it's just far out there...Owners who have them in the USA love them but it's designed for over there, not here in the UK. I personally wanted to check it out anyway
@@npoleary it is not “Far out”, it is garbage. I cannot ever recall a new car with so many basic design faults. And I have serious issues with pedestrian safety. Luckily, I guess the model will be out of production within five years.
💭Thoughts? Pop em below!
I will personally reply to you all!
Hi Nick 😃 Thanks for the interesting overview. - I imagine it would be exciting to drive around town with this monster. 🤪 - And if I were a rancher in Montana, it would probably be more of a toy. 😉
Haha thanks! Glad you enjoyed it!
Yeah it would be interesting for sure! 👍🏼
I love it, I really hope it comes here…Beauty is in the eye of the beholder!
Sharp ends? Keep your bloody fingers of it then.
😅
The shaprp edges mean it will never be sold in UK or Aus

Thank you! Glad you enjoyed the video! 🤓
I am getting one!
Awesome! 🙌
Not in the UK , you ain’t
@@jimpackard8059 - in Texas you can!
I was the driver of the transporter that dropped it off and collected it
Oh I gave you a wave literally as you were standing on the back of your truck at around midnight
Strange guy with all the camera bags 😂
You picked it up from my work😏
Nick how much does it cost and how can I do this if I live in Canada to get parts when it takes long to get it fixes
Really sorry I don’t know the cost as it’s not been revealed to the UK as it won’t be sold here.
I believe though they start around $81,895 according to online results, but check with Tesla to be sure 👍🏼
Wht would this truck be for winter ? Is there any way u could test tht out on a winter day some how
Sadly it would have to be someone in the USA to test that (unless Tesla flew me out to the states). I’m sure it’s gone back to the USA now.
Would love to drive one though and test it out!
it's not road legal in the UK, it fails pedestrian safety rules.
Too many anyway it would be the perfect solution.
Like what? He have bigger vehicles
I've seen one on the road. I think it must have been a private import registered as a commercial vehicle
@1maico1 oh really? That’s interesting!
Mmmmmm please stick to mercs nick😂...hahaha gazz

How do you find the indicators quickly if the steering wheel isn't horizontal?
The steering wheel is way lighter than a normal car, so you barely have to turn the wheel to do a turn so the steering wheel barely turns a few degrees to do a left or right turn.
However when you do turn it round further, I guess it’ll just be muscle memory! 🤓
Have you had a look at Mercedes-Benz X-class electric?
No I haven’t, I thought Mercedes discontinued their pickup?
I think the X class, was only made for two years. And it was based on a Nissan truck as a joint venture. The front looked amazingly Mercedes, the rear totally Nissan. And the finish inside wasn’t the greatest. I wish Mercedes would make a truck again From the ground up, I would buy one.
How do yea put the air conditioner on and how do yea turn the radio on
The A/C is controlled at the bottom of the screen and radio is one of the apps on the screen. Then you can choose your station
I live in Canada 🇨🇦 how is this gonna be in possible to get parts to Canada if it breaks down? Answer tht I think I would get pulled over by a officer of where is my lics plate
Haha I’m sure they’ll fit a licence plate somewhere. Not sure if it’s sold in Canada though, you’ll have to ask your local Tesla! 👍🏼
I know you are a Mercedes Guyyy… I just want to ask, will there be an EQE Coupe?
Well I don’t know about a Mercedes Guyyy 😅
I drive one as a daily and have made a fair few videos on them 😂 but that’s about it
That would be cool, sadly not heard of anything
If I hear anything I’ll make a video!
Looks like something built on scrap heap challenge with sheet metal.
I dare say there are Tesla Lawyers in Texas working on making the Cybertruck legal in Europe and the UK as we speak.
Not lawyers, probably designers 😂
Simple make it less pointy, curve those edges out and reduce the weight (so probably less range)
*added note, there’s probably way more than that.
Theres one imported on autotrader for £130k lmfo. It doesn't comply with many of the uk safety standards so it's more hassle then its worth imo
Oh wow…haha
Wht do I say then I may get a ticket with out a plate
Actually those sharp corners make it dangerous. I don’t get why they didn’t round out the corners to get more sales and improve its looks.
Exactly why it won’t be sold here in the UK…unless there’s a rounded off / lighter version
I don't understand manufacturers' infatuation with electronic door latches. I imagine the engineers have "developed" a way of mechanically accessing the vehicle if the battery dies, but for safety reasons, they need a mechanical back-up inside the vehicle in the event of an emergency. Some manufacturers hide them in inconvenient places, which, in an emergency will probably be the cause of death, but in the Cybertruck's case, it is more convenient than the electronic release button. What's the point?
Frameless windows
Es excesivo para Europa. Saludos.
You say "literally" a lot
Yeah I guess I literally do
Looks like a box of steel with weals, I am glad not to be sold in the UK
If usually you drive a Unimog or a large van or a Horsebox then you ought to feel at home driving something that large.
All the vehicles mentioned are legally used on our roads so I don’t see who this ought to be seen as illegal here in the uk.
I think it’s due to Euroncap and its pointy edges.
They’re not entirely pedestrian friendly…
Pickups aren't that rare in the UK. Farmers, plumbers and the like use Ford Rangers, Toyota, Nissan models etc.
I can drive up 7.5 tonnes on my standard older UK car license.
You do NOT need a special license to drive a car that’s 3 tonne you can drive up to 3.5 tonne on a regular car license
Because 'MERICA

I didn’t pay that much attention to the badges but on the one there it said Founders edition or foundation edition or something
@@npolearythanks for the reply Nick. Will keep an eye out on other images. Appreciate your reviews as always.
The CyberTruck is a deathtrap
It’s actually the safest vehicle on the road!
After the latest recall / update probably! But only for the occupants!
This is so ugly. Wouldn’t want this for free.
The most hideous monstrosity of a motor vehicle ever created, it looks like it was designed by a 6 year old & built by his grandfather in his garden shed.

Someone in Africa has built a mock-up of it based on an ordinary car and it's hilarious.
@@npoleary you can do all sorts of stupid and embarrassing things in public to get attention. Design a really stupid car works too.
Space Karen's Sillytruck.
But if we take out pointy places. How are we able make Audi BMX and vans to humble? They are edgy for reason. To kill their egos
it looks like a crudely made trash can. Not impressed at all.
Good brief review. What an odd looking thing. It's like a giant ugly toy car.
Glad you enjoyed the quick first look at it! It was quite an interesting car for sure! 👍🏼
I hope & pray that monstrosity never gets certification to be allowed to be driven on any road in Europe, including & especially not any roads here in the UK.

What a ugly car
by far the ugliest car ever made nd if u get knocked over by that then u have no chance of walking away fm it with that front end on it
One ugly looking vehicle!
