I would guess there is a lot of vetting by Tesla as well as a lot of stipulations that a reviewer must follow to get a vehicle from Tesla before it's widely available. Even if someone doesn't necessarily break their agreement, Tesla can always not send future vehicles if they don't like what the reviewer said. Many companies will also want to review the video before it's posted and can add language to the agreement that a reviewer can't post the video if they don't give the okay first. I obviously have no idea about any of the specifics regarding this particular video and have only heard of this practice regarding other EV products that were mentioned on a podcast.
@@lanceareadbhar No vetting by Tesla or any other manufacturers on this channel's videos. Kyle and his team show the good the bad and the ugly results unfiltered.
He is a genius with EV's. Although I really don't think 700 amps is a slow charge. I am not very familar with all the modern technologies in car charging. But as an electrician, there is a major problem; there is not nearly enough power in the grid to charge multiples of 700 amp, 400 volt car chargers. Consider that a house is normally 200 amps, 240 volts. The largest houses with multiple large garages will take 600 amps, 240 volts. Every car charger is equal to about 3 standard houses of power consumption; and actually houses generally use very little power except during certain peak loads. Elon has said that the grid needs to be expanded by 300% at the minimum, in the next several years, in order to accommodate EV's. But you cannot just triple the grid, because the grid is limited by the wires on the power poles, and you cannot just triple the main feeder wires. You have to basically build a whole new grid, or tear down the existing grid and rebuild it. OR--the utilities will come up with a new method of generating power. I think that the 3rd option is the only viable option, because tripling the grid is not practical.

I rarely comment on RUclips, but this review is really good! It’s super refreshing to have someone talk about the vehicle, who truly understands it’s technical details. Thanks for making this so detailed and keep it up!
I have been years for this video. Kyle is the right person to review the cyber truck. He know what he talking about and my go to person when i recommend people who are interested in EV. The Odds us Kyle has a review or first impression. Keep up the work. I am still waiting for mine to be deliver
Heartfelt thanks for arranging and doing this! You are known for no pernicious bias and I know many content providers will take snippets of this for their own podcasts but you have my full attention on this series. I really wish you had access to one of the aerodynamic trailers so that your range tests would also answer for me the question of which lightweight rv to buy (or make) to complement my cybertruck. I am impressed with the polydrops trailers which were the result of extensive wind tunnel testing with the model 3. I would also like to consider a harbor freight 9.5w inverter generator instead of the added battery to take on my maiden trip to Alaska when mine becomes available in a couple of years. Thanks again.
Interesting to see the tonneu cover doesn't get wiped at all when stowed... wondering if it has dirt and snow on it where does that end up? assuming it drains to the ground from it's stowaway. or even what would happen if you accidentally left something valuable on it and opened it? can whatever you left on it somehow be recovered or is it permanently sucked into the abyss?
Way to crank this out! Hope you’re able to take a day off/sleep for 24 hours straight after all this stuff you’re doing with the Cybertruck. Great work!
Two questions: You called the 120v outlets NEMA 5-15, but they have the horizontal blade that would normally make them 5-20 outlets. Can they put out 16 amps? Are they tied together or can you get 16 amps out of each one simultaneously or is it 16 amps total on the 120v circuits? Second, on the NEMA 14-50, can you please put a voltmeter on the outlet and see if there is a neutral as well as the two "hot" connections? If there is a neutral that measures 120v from the hot to that neutral on the 14-50, then that plug might be able to tie from the truck to a home's power panel on a manual lower-power basis to power a home that doesn't have all the expensive automatic interface hardware...
If it doesn't have a center tap/neutral then I would expect that at least some devices plugged into said outlet wouldn't work. Accordingly, I would assume that the neutral prong is functional.
Buy some Noico or Dynamat to put on the underside of that frunk to both make the ride even quieter and also insulate the frunk better against temperature. (doing so reduces HVAC consumption too) You can actually see the temperature differential of the support structure behind the frunk hood in the rain patterns in some of your shots. Kyle really is becoming the king of car reviews.
Great job, thank you for such a detailed tour! I think the reason for blindside warnings in A-pillar is just incase owners will decide to take off side mirrors...since its pretty easy to do.
The issue with the wireless charging isn’t that HVAC makes it more efficient, it is that the charging coils don’t line up well with the phone coils. In addition, the hump from the camera lenses causes it to be not flat. They need to add MagSafe and have a way to elevate the charging coils slightly so the phone lays flat to actually fix the issue and get good charging speed.
the layer of material between the coil and the outside is also pretty thick. I almost exclusively wireless charge by Samsung at home, but in the Model Y and 3, any time I tried to charge in the car I have to almost push the phone onto the area to get it to activate (I do have a case, but its relatively thin and it doesn't cause any issue on ordinary chargers) all this to say, yeah the Tesla wireless phone charger suck for other phones too
This is the most valuable video to date about the Cybertruck, thank you for the thorough deep-dive Kyle. Lots to think about, and lots of feedback value to Tesla and the innovative EV industry and community as a whole. Cheers!!!
Kyle - Lars corrected the power draw on wiper motor and its like 120w ~ roughly and not the 1kwh that was initially said. Post is on X where he corrected.
4680s, "world's cheapest bestest in-house cells, 2.0" are key to the success of Cybertruck, Semi Truck and Roadster. The specs promised: 500 mi, 500 mi @60 mph @ max load, 200 kWh, just are not possible with their barely 300 Wh/kg cells. It takes 500 Wh/kg, and might marginally work with 450 Wh/kg. Elon scribbled something on a napkin and they went with that for 5 years, it seems. He knows more about manufacturing than anyone alive, after all... Imagine a Roadster with 200 kWh if they could only get 123 kWh in this truck and some 50 kWh extra with the extender. But in a Model 3 sized sports car....also weighing 6600 lbs. Pure insanity to promise 200 kWh when Elon previously said no car needed more than 400 miles, 100 kWh. The promised of 1.9 0-60 has now been met by a Lucid Air the same price as the hyped Spartan New Roadster, but that one's 118 kWh or so, about what's practical unless 3 tons is cool for you. It would be laughably bad on track with 3 tons, let alone harder to make "fly" with those Space X boosters promised. The way Tesla builds cards houses of promises is really disconcerting. And now also various choices which can only take away road safety. Long list there.
@@CloxxkiLol ramping new battery using dry processe is hard... how is Ultium from GM? Pouch cell is gen1... they are working on old tech. How is solid state battery from Toyota or hydrogen? So many false promises that don't get your attention, ah right, that is not popular and they are not really worth mentioning. SpaceX is almost monopolizing the space launch. Falcon 9 has been working hard for the past 5+ years, yet reusable technology has goes unchallenged. China is doing it best to copy. Others startup are still in development phrase.
@@nguyep4 Ramping is hard yes...but the issue with 4680 is that they don't have the tech figured out yet. Even tho they said they did back in 2020. it was a lie.
Great camera work. What a pro. Thanks so much for posting such a detailed video. Many of us have been very excited to see YOUR coverage of this crazy thing!
The outlets in the rear shutting off at 20% is problematic for campers. I would likely keep an electric refrigerator plugged in when driving. I would not want that shutting off
Would be interested in knowing how the distance sensing works when backing up with tail gate down. Situation where Ultrasonic sensors are needed. Ford has a camera on top of their tailgate on some models. If vault cover was down, no rear view at all. (Hauling plywood sheets, etc..)
1:03:09 very cool to see. I saw so many complaints and criticisms of the car that the door would smash someone’s fingers when sticking it in that opening, assuming tesla didn’t build in a fail-safe, but turns out they did. Just add that to the list of complaints people had about a feature before it was even fully explained yet.
Question for Q&A: Any chance you can park this next to a Model Y and as many other EV's as possible? Maybe an Ioniq 5 and an EV6. Great video as always Kyle and team!
Come on folks, let’s get him over 200,000 subscribers. I have no interest other than seeing his thorough and hard work recognized. Great job! Thank you
Finally! I'm so glad you got your hands on one. I can't wait to see the actual numbers on how this vehicle stacks up and how we could expect it to perform.
Great review. Thank you. We all waiting for our cybertruck to explore it, this helps a lot. Also in regards to aftermarket parts, Unplugged Performance has some awesome parts, including a spare tire mount to the rear bumper and grid for more accessories to attach inside the bed. Great job 👍
I think the car seat idea is great! And I suggest you keep them so you can use them in future vehicle reviews. Seeing how two to three fit alongside another is super helpful for families! 😊
Finally a review from someone who knows what they are talking about when it comes to the technical aspects! Excellent review, can't wait for the other videos.
That reference to Michelob Ultra was next level for anyone who watched the Tour de France coverage over the years. Ultimate douchebag market in those ads at every commercial break...."My body tells me nooooo....." LOL. Thanks Kyle!
Can you please do a headlight review? How powerful are they? What are the high beams like? Thanks for everything, best review yet! Can’t wait for the rest!
Seems like the cameras keep the last frame or something. Looks like its showing pictures of Ben's garage for a split second when swapping between the different views.
Since the DC fast charging is split and the range extender battery is expensive and takes up bed and payload, an option for a second charge port on the other side might be interesting. Then you could charge using two DC pedestals at 400V for faster charging. Since most of the hardware to allow such a feature might already be present just need the second charge port, maybe some additional hardware and firmware changes? I would say about 40% of my Tesla DC fast charging sessions have only myself and maybe one other vehicle.
talk about being crazy enough to watch this whole thing, some sections twice, I never knew I could be such a nerd about this, a totally entertaining enthusiastic "performance" all around. Eager to see my place on the waiting list approach. Thank you for all your programs (and attitude, and altitude).
Over 50% larger battery than the Model Y, so you SHOULD expect better nominal charging. However, with consumption about double...road trips are going to take some patience. Anyway, full is around 340 miles at 50-55 mph. At 70 mph...250 mi or less. Charging to 60% on a route paved with hyperchargers for minimum travel time, going down to 10% for safety...you're left with 125 mi of perfect conditions range. 80 mph in winter...100 mi stints if lucky.
I like to add Kyle why would you want the cover close half way. If you haul a furniture or something that you can close and keep the back sticking out is it great benefit. Love your videos!!
The interior radar has been used on the Model S and X refresh. It doesn’t show up on service mode for those though. While exactly what it does isn’t well documented, I have noticed that placing my toddler in her car seat and then closing the door keeps the MCU active and climate control turned on. This is with her seat set to “car seat mode” which causes it to ignore the occupancy sensor for it and not show seatbelt alerts, note that the actual seatbelt is always connected. I have also noticed that moving my arm over the passenger seat triggers a seatbelt alert on it, even with no weight on the seat.
I just figured it out in another comment. It's a "Stupid RUclipsr" mode. So that way if someone tries something really stupid like putting a few bags of potatoes in the driver's seat, then hopping into the back seat, while it's self driving, the radar can detect there's no human there.
Please hook up to CANBUS and see what “Capacity when new” it reports. Also let us know what “Max Discharge” value is when close to 100% SOC and also at different battery temperatures. If you charge it to 100% just check “Max Dischage” when it completes charging.
In future testing please cover how the 48v aux power works. Does the Cybertruck automatically step down voltage to 12v for 12v accessories? Will owners have to wire in a 48v to 12v converter to use standard accessories?
Range/efficiency comparison with and without the side mirrors would be interesting I think. Supposedly there are plastic caps in the glove box to cover the hole left in the door by removing the mirrors.
US govt should get with the program and approve mirrors for side view use. That being said, I am not at ALL a fan of a car manufacturer cheating the system and making it so easy to skirt safety regulations. And then claim deniability when it comes to liability as Tesla undoubtedly will....
Longer than the equivalent F150 (Gas or Electric). Full sheet width. . Floor toggles and L Track for tiedown. Carrying short stuff (cement bags, etc) *waterproof* Tools? *Secure* and fully out of sight. . More height for secure transport of taller items. Seems quite practical. . If you want to put a lot of loose items, tools, loose material in there, fit a heavy duty slide-out.
The terrible performance of the 4680's is my biggest disappointment in the truck. How you can't hit 500 miles without putting a battery box in the bed is unreal to me. Wake me when they add a 200kwh pack without sacrificing bed space.
@@rogerstarkey5390currently they do so much with the octovalve. Wonder what the plan is for the extender. Will it have its own heat pump and resistive heater combination?
Just a suggestion when you are comparing to other vehicles. True, the Rivian back seats don't lift up, but maybe don't forget to compare in reverse. aka: Rivian has a gear tunnel which IMO is MUCH more useful than lifting the back seats.
@@starshipdriver8536 I'm not talking about a laptop. I'm talking about things like Radar detectors and other devices that were built specifically for use in cars that only come with 12v power cords. Sure you could buy an adapter, but you really shouldn't have to in a $100k truck. I don't have a use for a computer in my car which happens to be for driving.
@@johndavis7257 Get the radar that powers off usb-c. I don’t want the inferior 12v cig lighter in my truck. I want a 48v system with real outlets that can power anything.
@@starshipdriver8536 they can power things just fine. Buying a new car shouldn’t require to replace everything else you own. A single 12v outlet would have been fine. It’s not inferior it’s different. The entire car doesn’t need 48v. 48v isn’t even necessarily better it just saves Tesla a bunch of money as they can now cheap out on wiring harnesses and give you less while charging the same while forcing you to buy replacement parts from them as light bulbs, batteries, and a host of other things will no longer work with your fancy bleeding edge truck. And you can forget modding anything like a normal light bar or winch onto it as those are all 12v too. It’ll eventually catch up so that it’s probably unnecessary, but as with anything new there’s a transition period and it should come with a 12v rail and connectors to make that simpler. They didn’t care because fanboys like you will throw money at them either way and they’ll happily con you out of it by telling you it’s “revolutionary”.
@@johndavis7257 I’m not replacing a damn thing, just plug in the charging brick into the outlet, no cig adapter from a 12v that can’t even charge a gaming laptop that needs 19.5V. 48v is revolutionary, thinner gauge wires that allows steer by wire and all those gadgets that can be charged at home can be charged the same way in the cybertruck with household outlets. If it can be powered by the 12v cig lighter , it can be powered by the 65w usb-c port or the 120v outlet The lightbar is easily installed on top, not an issue and third party Tesla accessories will be even better because of no 12v limitations. Luddites like can you can stick with your cig lighters , distributer ignition, carburetors, and nokia brick phones. I will get the vehicle that actually reflects the modern society we live in today, with our usb-c iPhones and induction cooktops to power tools that can easily be powered by the cybertruck.
Kyle you were just reference in Business Insider as the most comprehensive review of the cybertruck to date! Congrats!!! The masses will be here soon. It’s well deserved. For anyone knew check out all the outlets. Kyle is not new being doing this for a longtime. I’ll continue to watch. FYI check out the ev9 review too
Great coverage! Suggestion: perhaps you could put the referral codes for the person who lent you the truck in the descriptions under the CT videos. Also, on other models you can still reach Disney+ via the browser. If you do then it shows up again in the theater menu. It never left the theater menu on my Y.
I like that the CT seems more of a "feature complete" car than other Teslas have been at launch. Most of the issues seem to be software related, and the fit and finish looks good on the cars I've seen so far (on youtube). I am a little sad that Tesla didn't go all out and make the CT a luxury interior, but I guess that's not how Tesla rolls.
My guess is the charge curve drops down so quickly not because of the cybertruck batteries but because it's pulling way more current from the charger which would start degrading the charger circuitry in a v3 charger. v4 should fix this but i don't think v3 chargers will ever show an improved charge curve on the cybertruck. It is essentially 2 teslas charging off the same outlet at the same time and v3 chargers just weren't designed to sustain that sort of power draw.
Unlikely. And this'll be easy to disprove by plugging in at 30 -40 - 50% (past where it starts tapering) and showing that even with a "fresh" charger it doesn't go fast.
1:25:18 wow, if you go frame by frame, you can see the "ghosts" of things that were in front of the camera, including a garage interior door, a man with a beard, and a COTA flag 😳

Good question, i wonder the same.
I believe Elon himself has confirmed valuables do indeed end up in the abyss.
There is a camera that photographs valuables before they are sucked into the abyss, then they eventually end up on eBay.
Kept in a spot close to the battery so when it bursts into flames, there’ll be readily available kindling
Big respect to the person doing the camera work - apology, forgot her name. Free hand, yet amazingly stable and controlled. Great stuff.

The promised of 1.9 0-60 has now been met by a Lucid Air the same price as the hyped Spartan New Roadster, but that one's 118 kWh or so, about what's practical unless 3 tons is cool for you. It would be laughably bad on track with 3 tons, let alone harder to make "fly" with those Space X boosters promised.
The way Tesla builds cards houses of promises is really disconcerting. And now also various choices which can only take away road safety. Long list there.
@@CloxxkiLol ramping new battery using dry processe is hard... how is Ultium from GM? Pouch cell is gen1... they are working on old tech. How is solid state battery from Toyota or hydrogen? So many false promises that don't get your attention, ah right, that is not popular and they are not really worth mentioning. SpaceX is almost monopolizing the space launch. Falcon 9 has been working hard for the past 5+ years, yet reusable technology has goes unchallenged. China is doing it best to copy. Others startup are still in development phrase.
@@nguyep4 Ramping is hard yes...but the issue with 4680 is that they don't have the tech figured out yet. Even tho they said they did back in 2020. it was a lie.
@@heyitstim3618 It will get better in time. With every new product, there's a learning process.
@@Cloxxki Hate hate hate, wow!
High energy honest review . The blue surround lighting is so pleasing , feck I'd buy it just for that alone.
Minor correction. The 120v in the bed are 5-20 outlets. 20 amp instead of 15.
Also the wiper is 120w, not 1000w
@@ScottBuscemi The VP of vehicle engineering at Tesla said it was between 600 and 800w
@@TRcakeNINJA He corrected himself in a follow up tweet saying he misspoke.
Great camera work. What a pro.
Thanks so much for posting such a detailed video. Many of us have been very excited to see YOUR coverage of this crazy thing!
I like the unbiased review in terms of allowing the viewer the decide if this toy truck is right for them or not.
The outlets in the rear shutting off at 20% is problematic for campers. I would likely keep an electric refrigerator plugged in when driving. I would not want that shutting off
Would be interested in knowing how the distance sensing works when backing up with tail gate down. Situation where Ultrasonic sensors are needed. Ford has a camera on top of their tailgate on some models. If vault cover was down, no rear view at all. (Hauling plywood sheets, etc..)
Nobody reviews a vehicle better than Kyle. Nobody!
watched the whole 2 hours and loved every minute, thanks for such an indepth and unbiased review! Been waiting for one since it came out
1:03:09 very cool to see. I saw so many complaints and criticisms of the car that the door would smash someone’s fingers when sticking it in that opening, assuming tesla didn’t build in a fail-safe, but turns out they did. Just add that to the list of complaints people had about a feature before it was even fully explained yet.
Question for Q&A: Any chance you can park this next to a Model Y and as many other EV's as possible? Maybe an Ioniq 5 and an EV6.
Great video as always Kyle and team!
Like ta see it on top of a Ionia 5 hummer or lightning
Come on folks, let’s get him over 200,000 subscribers. I have no interest other than seeing his thorough and hard work recognized. Great job! Thank you
Finally! I'm so glad you got your hands on one. I can't wait to see the actual numbers on how this vehicle stacks up and how we could expect it to perform.
Will blow competition away be ready. Dozens owners spread out love I and outruns a porche towing a porce
I hope one of your videos shows how well that wiper works for the passenger. You guys do great work so I bet you will.
Wohooo..almost 2 hr content. Gonna plan it during the day !!
watch at 1.5x or more speed
Best review I’ve seen so far. Very detailed and useful. Great job 👏🏼
So excited for this video, absolutely the most knowledgeable EV reviewer I’ve ever watched!!
Great video. Infiniti Q50 was first with SBW and Toyota was second with bZ4x.
Thank you so much for this first ever very thorough and detailed Cybertruck review.
Great review. Thank you. We all waiting for our cybertruck to explore it, this helps a lot. Also in regards to aftermarket parts, Unplugged Performance has some awesome parts, including a spare tire mount to the rear bumper and grid for more accessories to attach inside the bed. Great job 👍
I think the car seat idea is great! And I suggest you keep them so you can use them in future vehicle reviews. Seeing how two to three fit alongside another is super helpful for families! 😊
I watched the whole video kyle great work
Finally someone who understand EV inside out explaining is a refreshing
Finally a review from someone who knows what they are talking about when it comes to the technical aspects! Excellent review, can't wait for the other videos.
You are the best. I have learned so much from you in the past two months. Thank you for keeping the videos going.
That reference to Michelob Ultra was next level for anyone who watched the Tour de France coverage over the years. Ultimate douchebag market in those ads at every commercial break...."My body tells me nooooo....." LOL. Thanks Kyle!
Ultras are delicious
Can you please do a headlight review? How powerful are they? What are the high beams like?
Thanks for everything, best review yet! Can’t wait for the rest!
1:25:32 what the heck are these random images between the frames?
Looks like some guy in one of them. Maybe some dev images that may be cached? But looks like some guy in a room. Creepy
@outofspecreviews
Seems like the cameras keep the last frame or something. Looks like its showing pictures of Ben's garage for a split second when swapping between the different views.
Should have a cybertruck rescue the cybertruck during the range test :)
The positive pressure cabin with the hepa filter, means you are getting significantly more oxygen. 😊
Since the DC fast charging is split and the range extender battery is expensive and takes up bed and payload, an option for a second charge port on the other side might be interesting. Then you could charge using two DC pedestals at 400V for faster charging. Since most of the hardware to allow such a feature might already be present just need the second charge port, maybe some additional hardware and firmware changes? I would say about 40% of my Tesla DC fast charging sessions have only myself and maybe one other vehicle.
Tesla's not going to let Cybertruck owners hog two stalls at once at chargers. That would be wild tho...
talk about being crazy enough to watch this whole thing, some sections twice, I never knew I could be such a nerd about this, a totally entertaining enthusiastic "performance" all around. Eager to see my place on the waiting list approach. Thank you for all your programs (and attitude, and altitude).
Over 50% larger battery than the Model Y, so you SHOULD expect better nominal charging. However, with consumption about double...road trips are going to take some patience. Anyway, full is around 340 miles at 50-55 mph. At 70 mph...250 mi or less. Charging to 60% on a route paved with hyperchargers for minimum travel time, going down to 10% for safety...you're left with 125 mi of perfect conditions range. 80 mph in winter...100 mi stints if lucky.
I like to add Kyle why would you want the cover close half way. If you haul a furniture or something that you can close and keep the back sticking out is it great benefit.
Love your videos!!
The interior radar has been used on the Model S and X refresh. It doesn’t show up on service mode for those though. While exactly what it does isn’t well documented, I have noticed that placing my toddler in her car seat and then closing the door keeps the MCU active and climate control turned on. This is with her seat set to “car seat mode” which causes it to ignore the occupancy sensor for it and not show seatbelt alerts, note that the actual seatbelt is always connected. I have also noticed that moving my arm over the passenger seat triggers a seatbelt alert on it, even with no weight on the seat.
I just figured it out in another comment. It's a "Stupid RUclipsr" mode. So that way if someone tries something really stupid like putting a few bags of potatoes in the driver's seat, then hopping into the back seat, while it's self driving, the radar can detect there's no human there.
LOL on "spend 100K on the sound system and the truck comes free with it". Kyle is amazing! Great content
WHATTA bargain
It looks like the front pillars above your head are really narrow. Do taller people have trouble getting in the front because of the A frame build?
I am a tesla fan, criticism is good and will help improve the cybertruck. Love what you do out of spec team
True team successful effort
Please hook up to CANBUS and see what “Capacity when new” it reports. Also let us know what “Max Discharge” value is when close to 100% SOC and also at different battery temperatures. If you charge it to 100% just check “Max Dischage” when it completes charging.
I'm pretty sure it doesn't use CANBUS.
@@rogerstarkey5390 ok then whatever it does use. It would be great to see what the potential power of the vehicle is.
@@rogerstarkey5390 It might use CAN just to say "Yep, everything is just fine with me regarding emissions".
I feel like half of the time I see a video with Kyle he is going so fast and caffeinated his heart must be going like a hummingbird.
probably on the meth
In future testing please cover how the 48v aux power works. Does the Cybertruck automatically step down voltage to 12v for 12v accessories? Will owners have to wire in a 48v to 12v converter to use standard accessories?
I would imagine, like many new vehicles, it doesn't even have the 12v cigarette lighter port. Luckily, USB C to 12v cigarette lighter adapters exist.
There's one power converter for all voltages. Mentioned in the Sandy Munro factory tour.
Man, you got to get that wrapped. I'd like to see what you choose and how believably interesting you make it
LETS GOOOOOOOO the best reviewer out there
It's crazy how much the sound of your voice changes when you get in and close the door. Really tells me something about the cabin quietness.
Range/efficiency comparison with and without the side mirrors would be interesting I think. Supposedly there are plastic caps in the glove box to cover the hole left in the door by removing the mirrors.
US govt should get with the program and approve mirrors for side view use. That being said, I am not at ALL a fan of a car manufacturer cheating the system and making it so easy to skirt safety regulations. And then claim deniability when it comes to liability as Tesla undoubtedly will....

Good stuff, can't wait to take delivery of my Cybertruck so the more detail the better for me....thank you!
Really
I'd love to see you load lumber, drywall, and other stuff into the bed to test its work truck capabilities.
Not his truck, not gonna happen.
Longer than the equivalent F150 (Gas or Electric).
Full sheet width.
.
Floor toggles and L Track for tiedown.
Carrying short stuff (cement bags, etc) *waterproof*
Tools? *Secure* and fully out of sight.
.
More height for secure transport of taller items.
Seems quite practical.

If you want to put a lot of loose items, tools, loose material in there, fit a heavy duty slide-out.
@@rogerstarkey5390they sell great separators, organizors for the bed.
This is the CT video we were all waiting for!
So much for under $40k. We all knew that was a lie.
Good luck buying a Ford Maverick at $40k 😂
The terrible performance of the 4680's is my biggest disappointment in the truck. How you can't hit 500 miles without putting a battery box in the bed is unreal to me. Wake me when they add a 200kwh pack without sacrificing bed space.
@@kyleJ82
Let's be honest.
You're not "disappointed" at all, are you?
This thing is sick! Reminds me of back to the future! Btw back to the future series is by far the coolest movies ever!
I came here just to read the comments because I'm not going to watch a two hour video even at 2x lol
95 mins and he didn't even drive it. Lol. Crazy guy. Can't wait for the videos to come.
7:00 Absolutely loved what you said here. In an age that creating friction and conflict often means profit for someone, it is nice to hear this.
Accurate
1:16:30 @TSportline did testing of the frunk and roof power feeds (500 w and 48v IIRC - electric resettable fuse/MOSFET and confirmed via Tesla)
I think thermal management for the range extender is going to be a challenge.
Because Tesla doesn't do thermal management? ...
@@rogerstarkey5390currently they do so much with the octovalve. Wonder what the plan is for the extender. Will it have its own heat pump and resistive heater combination?
Tesla Powerwalls have TM maybe the range extender will have its own like Powerwalls
Just a suggestion when you are comparing to other vehicles. True, the Rivian back seats don't lift up, but maybe don't forget to compare in reverse. aka: Rivian has a gear tunnel which IMO is MUCH more useful than lifting the back seats.
I much prefer leg room and a 6 ft bed.
Wow, no 12v outlets. I can’t say I’m that surprised, but that seems like an oversight if they didn’t include at least one for accessory compatibility.
Just plug in your laptop charger directly into the outlet like at home.
@@starshipdriver8536 I'm not talking about a laptop. I'm talking about things like Radar detectors and other devices that were built specifically for use in cars that only come with 12v power cords. Sure you could buy an adapter, but you really shouldn't have to in a $100k truck. I don't have a use for a computer in my car which happens to be for driving.
@@johndavis7257 Get the radar that powers off usb-c. I don’t want the inferior 12v cig lighter in my truck. I want a 48v system with real outlets that can power anything.
@@starshipdriver8536 they can power things just fine. Buying a new car shouldn’t require to replace everything else you own. A single 12v outlet would have been fine. It’s not inferior it’s different. The entire car doesn’t need 48v. 48v isn’t even necessarily better it just saves Tesla a bunch of money as they can now cheap out on wiring harnesses and give you less while charging the same while forcing you to buy replacement parts from them as light bulbs, batteries, and a host of other things will no longer work with your fancy bleeding edge truck. And you can forget modding anything like a normal light bar or winch onto it as those are all 12v too. It’ll eventually catch up so that it’s probably unnecessary, but as with anything new there’s a transition period and it should come with a 12v rail and connectors to make that simpler. They didn’t care because fanboys like you will throw money at them either way and they’ll happily con you out of it by telling you it’s “revolutionary”.
@@johndavis7257 I’m not replacing a damn thing, just plug in the charging brick into the outlet, no cig adapter from a 12v that can’t even charge a gaming laptop that needs 19.5V.
48v is revolutionary, thinner gauge wires that allows steer by wire and all those gadgets that can be charged at home can be charged the same way in the cybertruck with household outlets. If it can be powered by the 12v cig lighter , it can be powered by the 65w usb-c port or the 120v outlet The lightbar is easily installed on top, not an issue and third party Tesla accessories will be even better because of no 12v limitations. Luddites like can you can stick with your cig lighters , distributer ignition, carburetors, and nokia brick phones. I will get the vehicle that actually reflects the modern society we live in today, with our usb-c iPhones and induction cooktops to power tools that can easily be powered by the cybertruck.
Kyle you were just reference in Business Insider as the most comprehensive review of the cybertruck to date! Congrats!!! The masses will be here soon. It’s well deserved. For anyone knew check out all the outlets. Kyle is not new being doing this for a longtime. I’ll continue to watch. FYI check out the ev9 review too
Great coverage!
Suggestion: perhaps you could put the referral codes for the person who lent you the truck in the descriptions under the CT videos.
Also, on other models you can still reach Disney+ via the browser. If you do then it shows up again in the theater menu. It never left the theater menu on my Y.
Wow what a great video, Kyle always goes crazy with cars the first time in them. But I can't wait to see the driving and off road.
I like that the CT seems more of a "feature complete" car than other Teslas have been at launch. Most of the issues seem to be software related, and the fit and finish looks good on the cars I've seen so far (on youtube). I am a little sad that Tesla didn't go all out and make the CT a luxury interior, but I guess that's not how Tesla rolls.
It's... 1990.
Did you want a B&O hifi, or a Sony?
lol the last line about where the trucks would end up. Had me on the floor laughing and crying because it’s true
My guess is the charge curve drops down so quickly not because of the cybertruck batteries but because it's pulling way more current from the charger which would start degrading the charger circuitry in a v3 charger. v4 should fix this but i don't think v3 chargers will ever show an improved charge curve on the cybertruck. It is essentially 2 teslas charging off the same outlet at the same time and v3 chargers just weren't designed to sustain that sort of power draw.
Unlikely. And this'll be easy to disprove by plugging in at 30 -40 - 50% (past where it starts tapering) and showing that even with a "fresh" charger it doesn't go fast.
@@graemeesmith yes that is something I would like to see as proof
Thanks for mentioning the sound system. Literally nobody has talked much about it on youtube at all.
How do you boost the 48v if it dies? Would love to see that whole process
There are 48 volt battery jumpers
Ok just lock out a brand new vehicle that belongs to someone else and possibly damage the pack..... Great idea.
1:25:18 wow, if you go frame by frame, you can see the "ghosts" of things that were in front of the camera, including a garage interior door, a man with a beard, and a COTA flag 😳
I can't belive people are impressed with this garbage design.
Cybertruck does actually have cab vents behind the rear seat. Crazy it still pressurizes like it does!
Francie: "Super different looking." LOL. "It's fucking ridiculous and ugly AF."
