Love that Lars and Franz are doing so much of the media for the CyberTruck. They seem like a great team, and you can tell how both of them are incredibly proud of what their teams have accomplished. Great to see.
I will believe the Tesla videos and numbers when it is actually independently tested. It hasn't even been crash tested by the NHTSA. It has been nothing but marketing material.
You do realize that is their job, right? This whole PR tour was planned well in advance. Doesn't mean they're bad guys, doesn't mean they are disingenuous but they are literally doing their day job.
I figured their day jobs were leading Design & Engineering initiatives for one of the biggest companies in the world. I guess if I were going to get more specific, I’d say - it’s nice to see people who are directly responsible for the final result of a production vehicle be responsible for conveying the information to the masses.

Waving the american flag. Not asking any tough questions. Such as.... Is this even road legal in the rest of the world. Has it ever been crash tested... Because no. No it hasnt.
Safest vehicle on the planet if you see Elon’s introduction of it. Even has airbags between the front seats like model 3. You cannot flip it. Bullet proof body, biohazard ☣️ proof, on top of it all. Did you not see the doctor that tried to kill his family going off a cliff but all survived?
Live long enough you realize that nothing is perfect. We come to appreciate what is possible and appreciate. In this case all innovation that is happeing in the automotive industry. The journey matters..
Jay is a lovely balance of old school and new school. He provides a great historical and practical aspect while embracing the future at the same time. A lot of people , especially those that are a bit older , could learn a lot from Jay.
It helps to have a couple hundred million to play with on new toys. When most people are old and have to think about how to maintain their pennies doing deep dives on tech isn’t a priority.
Wow. I didn't even realize an hour passed by until the end of the video. What a fantastic production with Lars and Franz as guests. This has quickly become one of my favorite Lenos Garage episodes ever. Very grateful for all you do Jay. Thank you!

Why on earth would Tesla spend millions on advertising when you have superb, intelligent, and compelling content like this to watch online whenever you want?
Compared to TV ads, the number of people that will talk or learn about cybertruck is tiny. The former woyod have made Tesla a household name by now instead of that mysterious tech thing.
You heard Jay talk about "why" in the video.... all the misconceptions the public has and lack of education about EVs. He gave multiple examples of the public... AKA Tesla's potential customers, being misinformed about EVs. This hurts the entire EV industry by reducing the customer pool.
@@catinthehat5140 They dipping their toes, experimenting with various forms of ads, to see what works best. Word of mouth can convert a lot of people, but at some point it's not enough anymore. According to surveys most people still have fundamental misconceptions about EV, that needs to be fixed.
Spending on advertising would get the mainstream media companies on your side. They give good press to the companies who spend on ads with them. Bad press for those who don’t.
He knows a billion times more anything about cars but still he is humble, listens, ask relevant questions........forget all the drama of other reviews about this car and stick to what Leno finds out.
Actually if you had paid attention he is constantly blowing these two geniuses off every time they drop a dime on him he goes “right right”. They know more in there scrotum than he will ever know. Tool.
despite owning 100's of cars, he has met the ceo's of the car companies and the people that actually worked and designed them. he goes to the car shows too. sure does know a ton and the history
THIS TRUCK IS AMAZING THEY ENGINEERED A TECHNICAL MARVEL THEY ENGINEERED NO HEADROOM IN THE BACKSEATS. A BED YOU CANNOT USE FROM THE SIDE OF THE TRUCK AND ZERO TOWING RANGE AND A CAMPING TENT YOU CANNOT USE WHEN YOU NEED ALITTLE TOWING RANGE WITH RANGE EXTENDER BATTERY!!! WE CAN SAY? PIECE OF SH*T?
@@lynnpoole7830 some people destroy their own reputations: “Hi my name is Monica. I screwed the leader of the free world in the Oval Office, just for fun. Even though he was twice my age and fat and married with children. I hope nobody makes fun of me for that.“ That being said… Hillary Clinton, not Jay Leno, led the campaign to destroy her reputation.
Well in his defense, let's not forget the fact that it takes 2 to tango and she ultimately did choose to have sexual relations and begin an affair with not only a married man, but a married active sitting President of the United States of America man. So to call her and innocent bystander would be the real joke. Probably not the best choice on not only location but just the decision itself to start something that is meant to be kept a secret. She knew what she was getting into and I'm sure she had plenty of time to think about just what exactly would happen if she were, or let me rephrase that, WHEN she was caught and this whole thing came out into the open. I can't remember specifically just how this was all brought into the light but hell, I wouldn't be surprised if she didn't play a role in it. I'm sure she was thinking, "Any fame/mention is good fame/mention!" Underestimating just what came of everything was probably the real issue. But I mean seriously, just what the hell did you expect to happen? Did you really think this was just going to get swept under the rug? She would have had to have been seriously and completely oblivious to the obvious outcome.
This is i think the best video about the cybertruck made so far! Jay Leno is so knowledgeable. It's amazing to see! And you can really see how Franz and Lars are r so relaxed around him...
I wouldn't either, and for someone to say that tesla is the finest they have ever driven is insane because there are several cars that are better but I will say the car is better then the truck, that thing has NO style or lines or anything its like watching an 80's sci-fi flick and seeing one of their ugly cars that has now come to public. It sounds better then it actually performs in real life and at the price tag u would think it would be better. To each there own though but I wouldn't even take for free except to sell it
Jay has lived long enough to see such a vast difference in the past and the future of automotive technology. What a thrill that must be. Best of health and longevity to you, Jay! We love ya.
There were a few comments he made here which indicate that he is closer to 95 years old. He speaks as though he was a teenager in the 1940's which would put him around 100 years old. He was at driving age before the 1953 dual headlight Corvette? He only had 6 volt batteries? They switched to 12 volt around 1953. His statements are very confusing and difficult to reconcile.
he hasnt lived long enough lol!!! this is not the future of automotive engineering technology! its literaly going backward! those EVs are totally incapable vehicles, a toyota hilux even the super old ones are more important than this crap! 0-60 is nothing!
Jay, videos are so nice. No music, crazy graphics, so nice to watch. You're cordial, everyone's relaxed. So enjoyable. Thanks to you and your team for putting together such enjoyable and fascinating content. Please keep it up.
@@jimmycline4778 remember when the VW bug came out? I do and I thought it was the ugliest car in the world. 10 or 15 years later I bought one and loved it.
Someone was complaining about Elon having too much clout and saying detrimental statements, but Franz and Lars are also faces of the company and they are wonderful people. The charisma and enthusiasm of Tesla employees is priceless.
This was the most insightful presentation/review of such a complex product I have ever seen. Jay said it some couple of years ago, the people of Tesla are changing the world. Amazing!
@@ochayethegnu2915 We'll have to wait for confirmation but the Cybertruck is likely the safest truck on the road. Every other Tesla vehicle is highest in safety in their respective categories - by a lot.
Changing the world? Tesla has wasted the last 4 years producing an abomination that most countries around the world will not let this ridiculous vehicle drive on there roads. Its battery is huge And it’s useless as a truck
It is cool to see how open to this Jay is from being a huge car guy. He probably said it best, though, when he said they don't make them like they used to. Good! We have gone cheap in a lot of the new things we make, but sometimes it's not at the expense of being worse.
@@spocko2181 Now it isn't. You just need a different set of knowledge and skills. Learn about electronics and electricity and you can do just the same.
@@spocko2181 lol.. you mean electronics? It's not a black box to those who build them. Also, you tend to buy controllers and program them, rather than building ground up.
I came to this channel originally to see the older cars that 'that talk show guy' had. After awhile with clips like this where he pulls comparisons from other manufacturers, rules regulations of other states, I grasped, he is a hands on encyclopedia of motoring, a pleasure to listen to.
Its absolutely doable. I worked at a company which was developing that and WE reached Up to 96% transfered Power at 10kW. So yeah with a good positioning system its Double but expensive and complex
Still love how using your touchscreen phone is considered terribly dangerous, some saying it's as bad as, or worse than drunk driving! Yet, it's perfectly okay to have a touchscreen infotainment system. Rather than tactile buttons and knobs, which can be actuated without a glance.

A privilege to listen to these three amazing people chatting together. All examples of what makes America such an amazing country. As an Australian I'm astounded at the anti Tesla (or anything Musk for that matter) sentiment from many Americans. So many amazing people with world leading breakthrough creativity, doing mindboggling things.
I admit that when I first saw the cybertruck, I thought it was horrible, now, seeing it in flesh, I think it's awesome. New always takes time for the brain to comput -.
I love the engineer nerding out. His brilliance and enthusiasm are absolutely endearing. What an amazing vehicle. It is the future. I'm curious how well this ambitious truck will work as a vehicle and as a product in the marketplace.
It’s a show off for people with money!!!Practical!?Towing is amazing….as long as you don’t need to tow to far….and I meant like tops 100miles otherwise you run out of juice!!Its not the truck to pull a Camry on a car trailer from LA to Vegas!!!So I still stand by my statement…..just a show off!and crazy overpriced!
I saw this video searching for Cybertruck information and balked at the 1+hr time stamp. I then proceeded to watch all of it.....Jay has a way with talking about vehicles. It was a pleasure to watch.
I'm one 62 young lady and I absolutely love my Cybertruck and so does my puppy. Ok, I confess, my Cybertruck is the delightful remote-controlled vehicle (RCV), fast, and puppy proof. Tender smiles! Thank you kindly for the Video Mr. Leno! ♥
@@ufoguyspaceman6137 Agreed. Hopefully the CT will come down in price like the other Tesla's, otherwise I'll also be buying used. These things should last forever.
59:06 - This is exactly why Jay Leno is one of the best car "journalists" around. He just knows so much about the history of car brands, vehicles and options...
Not only the high insurrance, you are driving around in a potential Fire Ball wating to happen at any second from the shorted out battery pack. THIS IS A FIRE THAT CANNOT BE OUT OUT BY A FIRE-MEN IF IT HAPPENED AT THE FIRE-STATION! Total loss of car every time! There are no repair shops that are qualified to certify a Tesla vehicle is safe to drive it's self either! Elon the MAGA-NAZI sold you a Giant Monitor so you can see it explode if your lucky! BUY TESLA ON SALE NOW $75k! What a deal!
That imaginary kid on the bicycle hiding behind A-pillar blind spot is real menace to society... Gotta love Jay. Also awesome video made with open mind and no prejudice. Love my V8s but this is interesting.
It's the the tech and performance. Once we advanced past the tree hugging "prius", how could anyone that likes horsepower and torque not appreciate the Tesla.
@@aussie2uGA Teslas are fine for normal people but in my experience it’s not for me. it makes me fall asleep from nothing to do 😂 my dad owns one and I rented one for a week. I’ll stick to my jeep for now plus gas is still cheaper then electricity were I live😅 per mile and I drive a jeep that gets 14 mpg city. Also having a manual keeps me in check mentally
are you sure hes not getting paid or some sort of benefit from Musk? Seems awfully fishy coming from a guy that loves his McLaren F1 the best ... and Carrera GT. going to a bloated boring EV and saying its the best is just odd.
Engineering? Don't be ridiculous! They are skilled in presentation, so for the uninitiated this sounds like something spectacular, but in fact it is stupid and unnecessary! Time will tell what kind of engineering this is!
The p-1 must be pretty special. Jay brings it up every episode. And before anyone says anything, i know of the car. I know what it is and does. It must be a masterstroke of engineering is what I'm saying.
Such a pity they didn’t take it through difficult hilly off-road or trackless country. That was but a minor interlude any old 2WD Ford F100 could have breezed through, even in the unlikely possibility that ‘creek crossing’ may have required some tyre deflation for extra traction!
Yeah it needed to have a side-by-side with some comparison vehicles on the off-road otherwise it's impossible to tell from the camera shots how the clearance and traction actually is.
When I rented a model 3 for my first ever Tesla experience the screen was a little daunting. You can’t hunt when driving. So I found the steering wheel button allowed for speech and controlled everything with my voice. This was super cool.
Incredible show! One of the best so far! Jay never disappoints and Franz and Lars always seem to dribble new Easter eggs to get everyone more excited. I can’t wait for my CT reservation to hit the top of the queue! I’m probably a few years off before I get there. I’m not getting any younger - hope I live long enough to take it on a few cross country, all terrain, extended road trips. That has always been my dream for retirement and this is the perfect vehicle to allow me to experience every mile of this great country. I want to hit every weekend church BBQ to meet the whole cross section of our citizenry. I come from an immigrant family (my parents brought us here in the early 50’s). They embraced the whole concept of this great melting pot and I hope this truck will allow me to see it all. 😊😊😊
Hope your dream comes true. Mine is to travel the country from sea to shining sea and see it all while looking for UFOs, sorry, UAPs in a Cybertruck until God takes me home again. 68 Now and still working, thanks to Bidenomics. Hope to get a used one by the age of 72. Some dreams do come true in America.
Jay! You really excelled with this video. Asking all the questions and GETTING the answers out of these two brilliant experts. Well done and thanks, John
We get real time access to Jay’s incredible curiosity and ability to access people who share his passion- so thankful he can spend a little time indulging his automotive passion as a way to balance the love and care he provides to Mavis. I wish them both a little extra time to enjoy each other’s company to the fullest!
Supercalafragalistic!!! I was trying to think of an adjective to adequately reflect how incredible this car, this company and this video really is. And like someone else pointed out, done with such humble elegance. The engineering and design elegance of this vehicle and the calm, cool and humerus presentation by these three men speak volumes about what now America can claim as our technological leadership in the world. I can’t afford one but boy do I want to drive one. I recent bought a Bolt EUV and it is the best car I’ve ever owned after decades of very nice Honda’s. I’ll be looking to trade in our CRV soon and I’m test driving every car I can get my hands on in these remaining months on my lease. So far I’ve done the Lyriq, Ariya, Blazer, Ionic 6, Mach e, EQS, and the Volvo C40. I plan to rent a Tesla through Turo so I can get a feeling for that. Basically I’m completely sold on total electric. They are so completely quick, quiet, comfortable and completely modern in every way. I think and hope they are the future and its companies like Tesla and people like you who, pioneers in your way, who help create and then lead us into the future. By recognizing China’s investments and both working with while competing with these powerhouse nations on the world stage, you are demonstrating that America continues to be a great nation of imagination, innovation, prosperity and progress.
Really a valid concern, the difference being an acute pain on 12v vs acute VF event with 48v. Interestingly no other cybertruck engineering video touched this topic. Definitely Tesla has already taken care of it, through more precise current monitoring, enhanced soft fuses(aka e-fuse), special service mode and even a 48V pyro fuse😮 for those unpredictable conditions and a dedicated 12V hazard blinkers wired to a 12v dedicated stepdown converter.
Well, 48v wouldnt shock you unless you touched the leads to your tongue or similar, so it isn't really a problem. At around 75v you can start to feel a slight tingle in your fingers if slightly sweaty.
@@maxms6087 Search on the biomedical term VF and apply some basic calculation based on nominal skin resistance. Also you should be familiar with threshold of pain and threshold of VF in terms of electric current, to undertstand the implications. To make it short, don't even think about hot wiring a 48v system or messing with the electrical system, without proper safety protocol, unless, you do all on a floating platform, with the use of only a single hand, engaging one terminal at a time😂.
@@aware2actionwattage is all that matters. It’s the same wattage at higher voltage because it’s less current. Electric fences run at thousands of volts and don’t kill people. The static shock you get touching a door knob in the winter runs around 30,000 volts.
@@kalasmournrex1470 When it comes to biological systems, current is all that matters(that too in the 10"s of mA). The electric fence induces extreme pain only, because it is current limited to less than 20mA. It is also the same reason, why an inappropriate contact with LoT in a Vacuum Tube TV is quite dangerous. The same applies to the static shock during winter. Wattage applies to electrical loads, when they produce work in terms of heat or kinetic energy. Also there are limited situations, where things could be dangerous, when it comes to biological exposure.
I am an old guy and when I first saw the cybertruck I said"that's not a truck." Then I look around and realize "trucks" today are really just used as a car. 4 door truck with one person, with nothing in the bed. Great info!! Better than 99% of the cybertruck videos out there.
8:34 I love to see Franz von Holzhausen speaking about the Cybertruck and having in the background the Citroen DS 19 parked next to the Citroen Traction Avant show how overnight at the time the Citroen DS changed for ever the traditional shape of cars with big rounded fenders and made thenm obsolete.
As a submarine designer, i love the positive pressure approach to leakage. It really is the solution becuase leaks are unavoidable in such a complex and mass produced assembly. Clever stuff! Being silly, you could make the battery pack leak free at the bottom of the sea if you link the positive pressure to water pressure + Thats how we do it.
It's important to remember that drag coefficient is not a measure of how much energy it takes to move through wind. It's a function of the force divided by area. So a vehicle could take more energy to move through the wind, but have a lower drag coefficient if it's area is larger.
so true. the cybertruck is quite literally a truck with an almost flat front end, quite difficult to argue a low drag coefficient. would love to see it in a wind tunnel to test their claims
It is amazing that people like you exist, actually questioning something you can look up. Jesus christ, what a chump. "Tesla just lies, they can't be telling the truth about the drag coefficient, duuurrrrrrr" thats you. @@wrth
@@wrth legally, they could be sued for false advertising if the number provided is wrong, so I doubt that they would take such a huge risk just to lie about a stat that most people don't care/know about. As mentioned in the video, there are *lots* of very small details that you would only notice up close, and if pointed out that allow objects like this truck to have a passable drag coefficient, despite _looking_ like they are just a "brick".
@moogle6 European car makers including Mercedes achieve low coefficient of drag numbers by using skinny tires, taping the windows, covering the vents, and other cheats. cD numbers aren't regulated like MPG and Wh/km numbers, and we know manufacturers are "creative" with the latter.
Jay your thoughts are always on point. But I’m 67 years old and I think it’s amazing! You probably won’t remember, but we had a conversation one afternoon at the top of Stunt Canyon rd. That encounter was awesome! Thanks for your time on that random day all those years ago! Not all famous people are rude !! You rock !! Thanks for everything you contribute to our world!
Enjoyed watching you 3 gentilemen. Wanted a Cyber, have the dual mtr. 3 & think it's the best car made, because of fun factor lo/ close to no maintence,safe,super effecient, on & on. Just bought a off road modified. Tacoma that will take me to some point down the road, where I can hopefully get a deal on a beast. Thanks much!! Marine fighter jet guy out for now.
Next time you review this vehicle, demonstrate how well it works when you're helping your friend move furniture from one apartment to another. If it's a truck, test it like a truck.
It's a designer purse. The same people who were able to buy the hummer EV will buy this. Tesla claims they have massive demand, but with a $100 deposit of course there will be huge demand, but who can and will actually pay? And how many will Tesla actually be able to make? If demand can be fulfilled then good on them, but it's so late and so rough (why showcase an inflatable tent?) That I don't take this as a serious vehicle that will be on the market for long. This, the semi, the roadster, I just can't trust Tesla to deliver in volume with such multi year delays. I hope I'm wrong, but I don't think these will be produced in high volumes.
@@kevo212 the bed on the cybertruck is tiny. That "quad" they showed off in the release is a reskinned kids electric quad from Alibaba. They made it look much larger than it is. Just bringing garbage and recycling to the dump every other week I fill up my f150's bed to higher capacity than that thing can hold. It's a car with a small bed. Nothing wrong with that (people love the new Hyundai one who's name i can't remember). But it's a poor truck.
@@volvo09 bro if you watched the first ~10 minutes of this video he specifically says it has a bigger bed than an F150. 6 feet. don't delete your comment, it's funnier that way.
Jay is a legend. I used to bump into him up at the Rock Store when I was a kid, he was always friendly to everyone showing off whatever exotic car he had for the day. Franz & Lars seem like genuinely nice, smart guys. But, what happened to the 500 mile range and the solar panels on the roof / tonneau cover? Those were the two most important features for me. Also concerned about the $470 tires (each), how long will those last? I was hoping this would make an epic overlander / baja surf rig but not so sure. Someone talk me into keeping my reservation.
Cybertruck was oversold. I was impressed with Elon musk and his apparent drive to engineer and manufacture a very unique truck design. However, after he launched the vehicle far short of the advertised 500 mile range on a 200kWH battery, I am no longer impressed and wary of any claim he makes regarding future products. I am seriously looking at GM and Silverado EV with a 470 mile range for a 200kWH battery with the Lithium CMA battery chemistry which is clearly superior to Tesla’s lithium FLP battery chemistry. No additional battery extended is required for the SilveradoEV.
@@jvaubryCybertruck has a 123KWh battery made of the Gen 2 4680 cell that gets about 340 miles of range while the GMC Hummer/Chevy Silverado EVs have a 250KWh battery made of the Gen 1 Ultium cell. Tesla's range extender is said to be an additional 50KWh, so a 173KWh Tesla pack that gets 470 miles (dual motor) vs 250KWh GM pack that gets ~450 miles for the Silverado version (390 miles for the Hummer on the same 250KWh) shows how efficient the Tesla can be. Edit: the GMC Hummer gets about 330 miles on the 250KWh battery.
Still got the tonneau. Solar panels don't get you much, but it is frustrating that Elon keeps making promises. If he said 500 mile range then he should stick to it, but 470 is close.
But I like the GM and Ford EV trucks look more. Soon the North American standard will be the Tesla plug and the one big advantage of this truck won’t exist.
The only time I recall Jay getting a serious injury was from steam/boiling water in an engine, not fire. But I agree, that was a bad take considering how many EV fires we've seen in China and even in USA!
@@hannibalb8276 Tons of fires in China. Even some Teslas have caught fire in accidents. It helps when you actually bother to read about the automotive world
Lucky it wasn't cold. Because with this climate change issue causing some really rough extreme winters those charging stations are becoming Tesla graveyards.

You heard Jay talk about "why" in the video.... all the misconceptions the public has and lack of education about EVs. He gave multiple examples of the public... AKA Tesla's potential customers, being misinformed about EVs. This hurts the entire EV industry by reducing the customer pool.
@@catinthehat5140
They dipping their toes, experimenting with various forms of ads, to see what works best.
Word of mouth can convert a lot of people, but at some point it's not enough anymore. According to surveys most people still have fundamental misconceptions about EV, that needs to be fixed.
Spending on advertising would get the mainstream media companies on your side. They give good press to the companies who spend on ads with them. Bad press for those who don’t.
Tesla doesn't spend money on advertising. They even fired their entire PR department.
He knows a billion times more anything about cars but still he is humble, listens, ask relevant questions........forget all the drama of other reviews about this car and stick to what Leno finds out.
Actually if you had paid attention he is constantly blowing these two geniuses off every time they drop a dime on him he goes “right right”. They know more in there scrotum than he will ever know. Tool.
despite owning 100's of cars, he has met the ceo's of the car companies and the people that actually worked and designed them. he goes to the car shows too. sure does know a ton and the history
Jay is a national treasure
Jay is such a gentleman. I'm in awe of the man and how he carries himself
THIS TRUCK IS AMAZING THEY ENGINEERED A TECHNICAL MARVEL THEY ENGINEERED NO HEADROOM IN THE BACKSEATS. A BED YOU CANNOT USE FROM THE SIDE OF THE TRUCK AND ZERO TOWING RANGE AND A CAMPING TENT YOU CANNOT USE WHEN YOU NEED ALITTLE TOWING RANGE WITH RANGE EXTENDER BATTERY!!! WE CAN SAY? PIECE OF SH*T?
Watch reruns of the tonight show where he defamed Monica Lewinski night after night for months and made her life hell just for a laugh.
@@lynnpoole7830 some people destroy their own reputations: “Hi my name is Monica. I screwed the leader of the free world in the Oval Office, just for fun. Even though he was twice my age and fat and married with children. I hope nobody makes fun of me for that.“
That being said… Hillary Clinton, not Jay Leno, led the campaign to destroy her reputation.
Well in his defense, let's not forget the fact that it takes 2 to tango and she ultimately did choose to have sexual relations and begin an affair with not only a married man, but a married active sitting President of the United States of America man. So to call her and innocent bystander would be the real joke. Probably not the best choice on not only location but just the decision itself to start something that is meant to be kept a secret. She knew what she was getting into and I'm sure she had plenty of time to think about just what exactly would happen if she were, or let me rephrase that, WHEN she was caught and this whole thing came out into the open. I can't remember specifically just how this was all brought into the light but hell, I wouldn't be surprised if she didn't play a role in it. I'm sure she was thinking, "Any fame/mention is good fame/mention!" Underestimating just what came of everything was probably the real issue. But I mean seriously, just what the hell did you expect to happen? Did you really think this was just going to get swept under the rug? She would have had to have been seriously and completely oblivious to the obvious outcome.
Monica the Mossad Lewinski? Nobody deserves it better. @@lynnpoole7830
A FABULOUS "fireside chat" with Jay, Lars and Franz. Best CT vid I've seen! Thank you Jay!!
It's funny that everybody was so relaxed the talk flowed naturally. I could barely see any video cuts while he was driving
This is i think the best video about the cybertruck made so far!
Jay Leno is so knowledgeable. It's amazing to see!
And you can really see how Franz and Lars are r so relaxed around him...
Hagerty has done a great video on this machine that's worth watching.
Love Jay Leno. I personally wouldn't be caught dead or alive in one but I do understand that everything changes and nothing abides.
Tesla the finest car I have driven
I wouldn't either, and for someone to say that tesla is the finest they have ever driven is insane because there are several cars that are better but I will say the car is better then the truck, that thing has NO style or lines or anything its like watching an 80's sci-fi flick and seeing one of their ugly cars that has now come to public. It sounds better then it actually performs in real life and at the price tag u would think it would be better. To each there own though but I wouldn't even take for free except to sell it
7576 seems like this phenomonial truck makes you mad. Why?
Jay has lived long enough to see such a vast difference in the past and the future of automotive technology. What a thrill that must be. Best of health and longevity to you, Jay! We love ya.
There were a few comments he made here which indicate that he is closer to 95 years old. He speaks as though he was a teenager in the 1940's which would put him around 100 years old. He was at driving age before the 1953 dual headlight Corvette? He only had 6 volt batteries? They switched to 12 volt around 1953. His statements are very confusing and difficult to reconcile.

That was in 1925. Studebaker already used the term in 1913.
It's not something I would want to own, but I can certainly appreciate the engineering and development that went into making it.

Such a pity they didn’t take it through difficult hilly off-road or trackless country.
That was but a minor interlude any old 2WD Ford F100 could have breezed through, even in the unlikely possibility that ‘creek crossing’ may have required some tyre deflation for extra traction!

That has always been my dream for retirement and this is the perfect vehicle to allow me to experience every mile of this great country. I want to hit every weekend church BBQ to meet the whole cross section of our citizenry. I come from an immigrant family (my parents brought us here in the early 50’s). They embraced the whole concept of this great melting pot and I hope this truck will allow me to see it all. 😊😊😊
What a great comment! You'll get your CT. God bless!

I wish them both a little extra time to enjoy each other’s company to the fullest!
Supercalafragalistic!!! I was trying to think of an adjective to adequately reflect how incredible this car, this company and this video really is. And like someone else pointed out, done with such humble elegance. The engineering and design elegance of this vehicle and the calm, cool and humerus presentation by these three men speak volumes about what now America can claim as our technological leadership in the world. I can’t afford one but boy do I want to drive one. I recent bought a Bolt EUV and it is the best car I’ve ever owned after decades of very nice Honda’s. I’ll be looking to trade in our CRV soon and I’m test driving every car I can get my hands on in these remaining months on my lease. So far I’ve done the Lyriq, Ariya, Blazer, Ionic 6, Mach e, EQS, and the Volvo C40. I plan to rent a Tesla through Turo so I can get a feeling for that. Basically I’m completely sold on total electric. They are so completely quick, quiet, comfortable and completely modern in every way. I think and hope they are the future and its companies like Tesla and people like you who, pioneers in your way, who help create and then lead us into the future. By recognizing China’s investments and both working with while competing with these powerhouse nations on the world stage, you are demonstrating that America continues to be a great nation of imagination, innovation, prosperity and progress.
Believe me: Tesla’s cars are the best by far!
Cybertruck looks like a tank and an El Camino had a baby, lol. It's very unique. I'm excited to see some driving around here in Texas.
19:27 Jay already imagining a 48V shock...he's really testing the limits of his denim powers 😂
Really a valid concern, the difference being an acute pain on 12v vs acute VF event with 48v. Interestingly no other cybertruck engineering video touched this topic. Definitely Tesla has already taken care of it, through more precise current monitoring, enhanced soft fuses(aka e-fuse), special service mode and even a 48V pyro fuse😮 for those unpredictable conditions and a dedicated 12V hazard blinkers wired to a 12v dedicated stepdown converter.
Well, 48v wouldnt shock you unless you touched the leads to your tongue or similar, so it isn't really a problem. At around 75v you can start to feel a slight tingle in your fingers if slightly sweaty.
@@maxms6087 Search on the biomedical term VF and apply some basic calculation based on nominal skin resistance. Also you should be familiar with threshold of pain and threshold of VF in terms of electric current, to undertstand the implications. To make it short, don't even think about hot wiring a 48v system or messing with the electrical system, without proper safety protocol, unless, you do all on a floating platform, with the use of only a single hand, engaging one terminal at a time😂.
@@aware2actionwattage is all that matters. It’s the same wattage at higher voltage because it’s less current. Electric fences run at thousands of volts and don’t kill people. The static shock you get touching a door knob in the winter runs around 30,000 volts.
@@kalasmournrex1470 When it comes to biological systems, current is all that matters(that too in the 10"s of mA). The electric fence induces extreme pain only, because it is current limited to less than 20mA. It is also the same reason, why an inappropriate contact with LoT in a Vacuum Tube TV is quite dangerous. The same applies to the static shock during winter. Wattage applies to electrical loads, when they produce work in terms of heat or kinetic energy. Also there are limited situations, where things could be dangerous, when it comes to biological exposure.
I am an old guy and when I first saw the cybertruck I said"that's not a truck." Then I look around and realize "trucks" today are really just used as a car. 4 door truck with one person, with nothing in the bed. Great info!! Better than 99% of the cybertruck videos out there.

As a submarine designer, i love the positive pressure approach to leakage. It really is the solution becuase leaks are unavoidable in such a complex and mass produced assembly.
Clever stuff!
Being silly, you could make the battery pack leak free at the bottom of the sea if you link the positive pressure to water pressure +

It's important to remember that drag coefficient is not a measure of how much energy it takes to move through wind. It's a function of the force divided by area. So a vehicle could take more energy to move through the wind, but have a lower drag coefficient if it's area is larger.
so true. the cybertruck is quite literally a truck with an almost flat front end, quite difficult to argue a low drag coefficient. would love to see it in a wind tunnel to test their claims
It is amazing that people like you exist, actually questioning something you can look up. Jesus christ, what a chump. "Tesla just lies, they can't be telling the truth about the drag coefficient, duuurrrrrrr" thats you. @@wrth
@@wrth legally, they could be sued for false advertising if the number provided is wrong, so I doubt that they would take such a huge risk just to lie about a stat that most people don't care/know about. As mentioned in the video, there are *lots* of very small details that you would only notice up close, and if pointed out that allow objects like this truck to have a passable drag coefficient, despite _looking_ like they are just a "brick".
@@moogle68 they can't get sued realistically, they can blag their definition is different which would be very hard to beat in court
@moogle6 European car makers including Mercedes achieve low coefficient of drag numbers by using skinny tires, taping the windows, covering the vents, and other cheats. cD numbers aren't regulated like MPG and Wh/km numbers, and we know manufacturers are "creative" with the latter.

Next time you review this vehicle, demonstrate how well it works when you're helping your friend move furniture from one apartment to another. If it's a truck, test it like a truck.
It's a designer purse.
The same people who were able to buy the hummer EV will buy this.
Tesla claims they have massive demand, but with a $100 deposit of course there will be huge demand, but who can and will actually pay? And how many will Tesla actually be able to make?
If demand can be fulfilled then good on them, but it's so late and so rough (why showcase an inflatable tent?) That I don't take this as a serious vehicle that will be on the market for long.
This, the semi, the roadster, I just can't trust Tesla to deliver in volume with such multi year delays. I hope I'm wrong, but I don't think these will be produced in high volumes.
@@volvo09 Most trucks are designer purses. Plenty of trucks cost $100k and they never tow anything.
is that how pickup truck reviews do it? how well it moves furniture? so dumb
@@kevo212 the bed on the cybertruck is tiny.
That "quad" they showed off in the release is a reskinned kids electric quad from Alibaba. They made it look much larger than it is.
Just bringing garbage and recycling to the dump every other week I fill up my f150's bed to higher capacity than that thing can hold.
It's a car with a small bed. Nothing wrong with that (people love the new Hyundai one who's name i can't remember). But it's a poor truck.
@@volvo09 bro if you watched the first ~10 minutes of this video he specifically says it has a bigger bed than an F150. 6 feet. don't delete your comment, it's funnier that way.
I will be impressed when Cyber is an active participant in the conversation. Can cyber go higher, Cyber says sure thing Jay , how high you want to go?
Jay is a legend. I used to bump into him up at the Rock Store when I was a kid, he was always friendly to everyone showing off whatever exotic car he had for the day. Franz & Lars seem like genuinely nice, smart guys. But, what happened to the 500 mile range and the solar panels on the roof / tonneau cover? Those were the two most important features for me. Also concerned about the $470 tires (each), how long will those last? I was hoping this would make an epic overlander / baja surf rig but not so sure. Someone talk me into keeping my reservation.
Cybertruck was oversold. I was impressed with Elon musk and his apparent drive to engineer and manufacture a very unique truck design. However, after he launched the vehicle far short of the advertised 500 mile range on a 200kWH battery, I am no longer impressed and wary of any claim he makes regarding future products. I am seriously looking at GM and Silverado EV with a 470 mile range for a 200kWH battery with the Lithium CMA battery chemistry which is clearly superior to Tesla’s lithium FLP battery chemistry. No additional battery extended is required for the SilveradoEV.
@@jvaubryCybertruck has a 123KWh battery made of the Gen 2 4680 cell that gets about 340 miles of range while the GMC Hummer/Chevy Silverado EVs have a 250KWh battery made of the Gen 1 Ultium cell.
Tesla's range extender is said to be an additional 50KWh, so a 173KWh Tesla pack that gets 470 miles (dual motor) vs 250KWh GM pack that gets ~450 miles for the Silverado version (390 miles for the Hummer on the same 250KWh) shows how efficient the Tesla can be.
Edit: the GMC Hummer gets about 330 miles on the 250KWh battery.
Still got the tonneau. Solar panels don't get you much, but it is frustrating that Elon keeps making promises. If he said 500 mile range then he should stick to it, but 470 is close.
Oh, dear! Mr.Leno, I happen to be 71 years old gal who fell in love with CyberTruck and have a reservation for it. I guess I'm at my 40's at heart..😁
There is another older lady who was the second person to get the cybertruck too.
@@heythave I saw that, good for her!
I like that it looks different. I respect the effort to try something new.
Look at the videos about how they are manufactured. THAT'S different.
But I like the GM and Ford EV trucks look more.
Soon the North American standard will be the Tesla plug and the one big advantage of this truck won’t exist.
Do you "like" it enough to buy one? I doubt it. This thing seems saleproof to me.
@@josebrown5961 All the other advantages wills till exist!
@@OMGWTFLOLSMH You clearly didn t hear the over 2 million reservations!
This will be the most sold pick up in the US in a few years
Great job Jay pulling the info out to get such a comprehensive understanding of what this truck is.
I’m over 40. Love Star Wars. Also love the Cybertruck.
the Cybertruck wasn't on my shopping list... but NOW.
Jays comment on the fire risk of gas cars...
I just about choked laughing...he would know. Great video.
The only time I recall Jay getting a serious injury was from steam/boiling water in an engine, not fire.
But I agree, that was a bad take considering how many EV fires we've seen in China and even in USA!
EVs are burning way less often than gas cars.
What ev fires? More gas lobby propaganda, eh
@@Easore Only because there are fewer on them. Adjust for miles traveled and you get a different picture 🔥🔥🔥
@@hannibalb8276 Tons of fires in China. Even some Teslas have caught fire in accidents. It helps when you actually bother to read about the automotive world
compelling car video, the engineers really helped showcase its features, well done
Love Jay Leno. Can live forever without Tesla anything.
I loved the chatter in the car as soon as you started driving. If I had these guys in my car these are the kind of things I'd talk to them about.
Awesome engineering! So much things that can break on this will be interesting to see how it does after years of off-roading
Ugly as sin.
Hope they have good signal off road to call for a tow.
Just saw a cyber truck supercharging. I couldn't stop looking at it. Everyone was stopping to take pictures of it. Amazing truck
Uglyness is always faszinating.
You drank some serious kool-aid.
Amazing ugly ...
@@randomname4726 Ya exactly... How about some reality checks of the Fast chargers in Minnesota this week and Chicago at -10
Lucky it wasn't cold. Because with this climate change issue causing some really rough extreme winters those charging stations are becoming Tesla graveyards.
Rewatching this a month later and just gobsmacked how innovative this vehicle is in almost every aspect. What a remarkable achievement.
Do u j your d to it? Geez
Yeah, that's why its selling like popcorn
