BTW that "lighthouse" analogy is total bullshit. Lighthouses are placed high up so OTHERS can see THEM, not so that the lighthouse can see better. Headlights that are closer to the surface better outline surface features, AND can reach farther without blinding oncoming traffic. Headlights placed higher can technically reach farther, but are guaranteed to blind oncoming traffic if they do, that's why all vehicles with higher placed headlights shoot at the ground and don't light up much.

@@JerryRigEverythingcool that you advertised on a truck build by Elon who support the guy that makes fun of you customer base. You want my respect… drop this BS and tell us how you really are, cause after this video I have questions.
No, brands like exposure - all exposure. But with the election just days away, corporations have been told to pull advertising from Elon and they're doing it.
Ah yes, a grand conspiracy is more likely than just brand not wanting to associate with Elon. You know the guy that tried to sue them. Based on your idea that any exposure is good exposure, i guess coca cola should be happy to be featured next to gore content then. 🤡
Thanks for this honest assessment! As I am also now a sponsor 😉, I hope you consider the Silverado, I’d like to hear unvarnished feedback about it as well. Seriously, it’s a small donation but I hope some can be put towards Not a Wheelchair. Thanks for the engaging videos on your channel. You often cover things in a non-hyperbolic way that other outlets do not, and for me it’s one of the most valuable things about this channel.
@@grahamkearnon6682 yeah, the guy who regularly tows things for his company should buy a work truck that is stated by the manufacturer to be "not suitable for towing"
I don't know how anyone can look at the Silverado, then be happy with the Cybertruck. The Silverado shows Elon could have made the Cybertruck have 500 miles of range, but he took the cheap way out. That alone would make it a "nope" for me, among other reasons.
I love that you mention the company didn’t want to be featured in the video, and then not only allowed them to stay anonymous, but explained in depth the issues that could stem from any attention directed from the cybertruck. It’s definitely a polarizing car. Personally, I’d ditch it for that new Silverado, as Tesla and Towing can’t go toe to toe.
Its not a polarizing car. Its a piece of shit that should have never been released in the state that it was. The fact that this car isnt allowed in Europe speaks by itself. This car is comparable to Ubisoft games half baked built on big promises but fails to deliver on almost everything. Only difference is that playing ubisoft games wont kill you ,while your gas pedal getting stuck while driving probably will.
Let's not pretend the company's refusal to be featured as a sponsor had anything to do with an actual "polarizing" car and everything to do with the politics of the CEO and upcoming elections, and a cancel culture. Let's also not pretend that Zack's stopping the video and "explaining in depth" had anything to do with any issues but him wanting to make yet another politically charged statement. In fact, the purpose of this whole video and timing has nothing to do with wanting to give updates on a Cybertruck experience. He is not as slick as he thinks.
@@BoundlessBytes But Zack is a CEO of his wheelchair company (as well as his RUclips brand) yet he gets into politics. Did he make his bed too? Should he be canceled by the half of the country? This is some kindergarten level behavior.
I agree with your comment with the exception that "most" people objectively don't understand what a standard deviation is or even the concept of an IQ test.
It's funny how Tesla owners all felt like the smartest eco-friendly Earth-warriors in the room until Elon started publicly questioning the liberal cult mind virus.
Fixed with an update post purchase. Guess cars manufacturers are learning from the gaming industry. Push out incomplete product. Fix it with continuous patches rather than fixing them before release. I’m still surprised how the self driving cars were allowed to be beta tested out in the roads. Sure, person behind the wheel can sign a waiver agreeing to that danger, but not the people driving alongside them out in the roads.
Just wait till Shadow President Musk 'streamlines' our National Safety board. Safety checks will be conducted on a 'voluntary' basis. Which means, not at all.
Saw you in your blue Not A Wheelchair Cybertruck in south Provo as I got off the freeway this morning! For what it's worth, my wife and I's first thought was "hey, It's JerryRigEverything, cool! And only afterwards did I think about this video and your hesitancy toward keeping the polarizing truck. So, from one guy's take and his wife's, we thought nothing ill of you, your company, or the truck. We just thought it was cool. But we're weird and level-headed that way.
Exactly what other commenter said, its not us, the people that know zach and how much good he has done. Its for the people that don't know him and just see an obnoxious, shitty truck in neon blue.
lol.....the problem is cybertruck market has already dried up and no buyers to take it off his hands ! It's classic Maga scam .... Sales propaganda riddled with lies and then buyers remorse... about to happen on a national level again !
If you’re eyeing the Silverado EV, you might want to check out the better looking GMC Sierra EV. Same specs, but better inside and out (especially the inside 👌🏻).
The GM trucks are the ugliest things on the road today dude. Def more eyesore than Cybertruck. They are up to the task of course, which is more important than their hideous design.
There are alloys and correct application of aluminium alloys result in fighter jet airframes that can handle many Gs. I would say it is a lack of competency in when and where you should use what material that is the Cybertruck in a nutshell.
@@oditeomnes Fighter jets have limited lifetime on their airframes. Some early Typhoons ended up with only around 2000 hours possible on their airframes.
Silverado is the best EV truck for truck stuff. Do it! Also…My wife just totaled her model X…how much you selling that CT for? I do need to point out I see some dents in the door 😉
The low headlights seem amazing. As someone who is sitting in a car, 2 feet off the ground, I appreciate not having my eyes obliterated by truck headlights. Especially new ones.
@@jarphabib I drive a 2003 Civic Hatchback and have the same issue. All the SUVs and Trucks have their headlights at the level of my rear window. Super annoying at night and I have to directly slow down and make them pass me because I can't see anything.
True. That's the only good thing I can see about the Cybertruck. Other trucks should follow suit! In fact, I wish for a maximum headlight height regulation, cause I drive a lowered roadster and some of those new, giant SUVs (as well as some vans) have their headlights mounted well above my eye level! 😎😵💫
Incredibly annoying at night. Blinded by cars heading the opposite direction. Blinded by the truck behind with light bouncing straight to your eyes from side mirrors and rear view mirror.
3:45 as someone that drives a small car (2015 VW GTI) it pisses me off to no end when trucks pull up behind me and all I can see out of all my mirrors is their stupid, big, obnoxious, over bright headlights. The fact that the cyber truck has them lower to the ground actually helps a lot of us regular old sedan or car drivers not get blinded by the obnoxiously high up lights on trucks. You don’t need your lights to be the highest on the road, many people survive just fine with lights placed exactly where they are on the cyber truck or in my car. A good light should throw the light far regardless of placement if the projection system is up to snuff. TLDR I really really hate truck drivers and their stupid lifted garbage heaps.
Yup agree. It is always a fine balance between safety for the driver, and safety for everyone else on the road. And for some reason vehicle manufacturers have decided fuck everyone in a sedan.
Same. These trucks with their obnoxiously bright LED headlights mounted super high are terrible for everyone in a regular sized car. Even worse on lifted trucks. Government needs to start regulating this yesterday because it's clear that the auto manufacturers don't care about the safety of anyone outside their vehicles.
@Evil_breakfast Yeah. The bar catching snow is a problem. The solution is to get rid of the bar or put heating elements in the bar to melt snow or something like that. Not to mount the headlights higher.
I love your objectivity. Though - you should give a little more credit to Tesla for their product is for enhusiasts that love to build their car from scratch, obviously. It comes in, disassembles and here's your adult lego set. Or you might buy ... about 200 Rivendell lego sets, which in my opinion would be way more fun to build.
Well that certification process was also the same for aircrafts (the manufacture can just say the aircraft is safe and FAA is happy) and then we all know what happend with Boeing especially the 737 Max aeroplanes.
Yeah maybe, but other car companies have had to recall millions of vehicles to replace engines, transmissions and other critical components. Recalls aren’t anything new
Strange, that he’d been hauling and towing with it for 8 months and his real complain is the loose screw on the door jam and the steel flashing peeling. The rest he only based from other reviews of 3 tow failing out of the 30,000+ on the road. I just think it’s roundabout way of giving in to his Sponsor’s pressure to ditch it. Which I find dubious. Can’t blame the guy to caving in. The guy needs funding for his wheelchair business.
I mean for any first generation vehicle there is some expectation of mild issues. A relatively new company compared to brands that have existed since the end of world war 2 or well before it, making a product type they haven't before. Under circumstances like that, bigger problems before 10k shouldn't be a massive surprise, so 13k without and real issue is notable. Now does tesla have enough experience for a self pinning throttle pedal to be inexcusable? Yes. How they a critical material science problem in a production vehicle, who knows
@@dvader3263I promise you an old school ford truck isn’t crapping out that quickly on either number. A ranger is expected to last 300,000 miles for example. Hell, I have a buddy who has a truck running on hopes and dreams well north of that, no idea what special sauces he’s used to keep things from needing replacements or if he just got lucky but I’ll have to find out what that’s running at these days. Work trucks in New England are all old rusted out pieces of shit that manage to keep going on pure willpower long past their expiration date anyway (and I mean work trucks not just somebody’s f150)
Speaking of Laughing...LOL there is a guy in California apparently in my area in my area where Temps reach like 105 + degrees in the summer where the guy wrapped his cybertruck all in glossy black. Talk about crazy that thing must get to like 200+ Degrees in the summer. I'll be surprised if all the plastic on it does not melt next summer.😂
@@szymonn4800 Aluminum has an IR reflectivity of 97 percent. Steel is 94. So just the "stainless" body panels alone make the thing an oven. In addition, it is built like a solar panel. The sides of the car are practically perfect for absorbing the maximum amount of light from the sun. That plus the overly thick "bulletproof" glass and panels means the thing is built to retain heat. A normal car absorbs less light and can radiate a lot of heat back out.
I hadn't heard about the trim falling off. Good to know the cybertruck isn't just a threat to pedestrians in front of it, it can also fling stainless steel knives at cars behind it.
Frankly, that shouldn't be more of an issue than it is. I drive both large trucks and small sedans and the only time I have have been blinded are by people who are driving older SUVs and trucks with aftermarket lamps. Now, in those cases I curse them but I never blame the truck for the owners bad decision.
It's not actually an issue of hight, it's an issue of alignment. They're not supposed to shine above a certain hight measured at a certain distance. The higher up, the more they're supposed to be angled down, they could be at fog light hight on a Corolla & still blind oncoming traffic.
The headlights are a complicated problem. As a driver of an ordinary car I would love it if truck headlights were lower down so I don't get blinded by them. But since road signs are retroreflective the headlights need to be fairly close to eye level for them to be properly visible in the dark. Curious if mounting the headlights that far below the driver affects that at all.
One of my neighbors got the CyberTruck! He wanted so he could tow his boat to his off the grid lake house! He has solar but basically he figured out he can’t just go there and come home because it doesn’t have the range while towing and solar charging takes 16 hours! 😂
@@sirsnooozealottbf if tesla were everything but honest with their range promises so you can't blame them for not doing the math. you can blame them for beliving teslas promises though, as not keeping those is probably what they are best at.
I can't really watch a lot of your videos because the sound of a blade against metal makes me shiver too badly, but I really really love your videos, straight foward, blunt, no bs, just an honest man who knows what he's doing.
That noise does affect me similarly, but I do try my best to put up with it. It leaves me jittery for a while afterwards so I only watch his videos before evening comes. I wait until my morning coffee wears off, but not too late in case it keeps me awake. Some days I don't have the stamina, so I save it for another day.
Agreed, it's annoying and doesn't really add anything to the reviews. We know it's metal, we know what metal looks and sounds like when it's damaged or scratched. Might be a stipulation for his reviews to make the phone unsellable as new or something, seen that in some contracts for more serious products.
Wow. What a random intro but I can relate. I still watch but try to skip that part because it goes deep in my soul. There is still no other RUclipsr like like this guy, original and unparalleled.
I appreciate that you acknowledge the "guilt by association" aspect of owning a vehicle so closely identified with a particular person and will be linked on a daily basis to the bizarre and unpredictable things that we have come to expect from that person. As a business owner, it seems like you're driving a hand grenade and someone else has the power to pull the pin at any moment. To get the limited but legitimate benefits of an electric vehicle, I'll buy an electric truck when it can do at least most of what my Tacoma can already do for far less money.
now, if you own the thing, everyone thinks you're a nazi... and two weeks ago everyone thought you were a douche. The latter seemed to be an image people were cool with investing in to cultivate. The nazi thing? Well, I guess we'll see
Hahaha, that certifying themselves remind of Police officers who investigate themselves and find no wrong doing. Great video as always. Now I have to figure out who the sponsor who declined to be featured next to a Cybertruck in the video!
The lightning has matrix zoned headlights. Pretty cool tech really. It sees oncoming vehicles and dims, shuts off or turns the appropriate LEDS away. It tracks vehicles and you can actually see it working as it creates a black non lit box around vehicles. The sad part is the US has not approved the use of Matrix lights so Ford has had to disable them through software while they wait years for approval. They work great in Canada though. Problem with the CT lights is that shelf right under them. No way that will work in Canada during the winter. We salt/sand our roads and the slush and grime would plug that up in minutes. Poor design choice and immediate deal breaker for us up here in Canada.
The cybertruck disappoints Tesla fans. • The range is shorter than expected. • The battery range extender is not available. • The windows are not as strong as advertised. • The hitch is mounted onto the aluminum casted frame, making it difficult to tow heavy loads. • The cybertruck is more expensive than advertised. • Tesla’s reputation is diminished.
"The hitch is mounted to the aluminum casted frame, making towing very dangerous to impossible after it broke off" It tows just as easy as long as it doesnt breake
I was a serious reservation holder but now it’s no where near as useful as I anticipated. No ramp and price were huge dealbreakers for me. Still somewhat cool but absolutely disappointing.
Whatever you get, it appears that you have done your homework very well. Incredible amounts of insight for anyone wanting to get a Cybertruck. Best of luck in your new search.
My 13 year old son and I saw you filming for this video at the equestrian park! We really love your channel! It’s the one of the few places to spend lots of time in the internet where you actually get smarter from watching 😂!
I will be forever grateful to you, you changed my entire life and I will continue to preach on your behalf for the whole world to hear you saved me from huge financial debt with just a small investment, thank you Shellane Maxwell
There is something about the Cybertruck headlights that I actually really like as a driver in a different car. Since the headlights are so much lower to the ground than most trucks, they don't shine directly into my eyes through my back window, almost blinding me, like what happens when I'm in front of most other trucks and large SUVs. It's *crazy* how they have a snow collection shelf, but at least I'm not being blinded. I just hope it doesn't run into me, though.
I really like Rivian's work with trucks. All I can remember is the motoriyed tonneau cover issue, which is great for a new car company. If I want an electric car, Rivian R1S is my current to go car.
I know somebody who worked for a lot of car companies in Germany. He told me that he would never buy a Tesla because of the inferior build quality. Tesla is using plastic parts like zip ties where a metal bolt would be suitable. They are for cables and should not be used to connect metal parts that are under stress.
@@emersonblake7 The comment competes for "most categorically inaccurate statement ever put on RUclips'. German auto engineering is the envy of the world.
@@DrDoohickey German engineering is possibly one of the biggest marketing successes in the history of Earth. It's both the most famously good and thee most actually mediocre.
Same here. Many say it's about pedestrian safety, but that's not all. I think a lot of it also has to do with crash incompatibility. Having a crash with any "normal" car can be fatal. That's why so many people see the cyber truck and their drivers so negative. It might be safe for the people inside, at the cost of everyone else around it. Even if the Cyber truck would be legal in the EU, I don't think it would be very successful. The standard drivers license only allows vehicles up to 3.5t, which makes sense. Everything more is a "truck" and requires additional certification and knowledge by the driver.
Would love to hear your opinions on the Silverado, but also want to know how a newer Rivian stacks up. In a couple years I’d also like to see what you think of the new Scout. It’s been great seeing these vehicles actually used and getting perspective from the same person. It’s been refreshing to listen to your feedback because I don’t feel you are brand loyal and trying to sway opinion. Keep up the great work!
I would sell it. I am very happy that it is not allowed in the EU with all the safety concerns the cybertruck has. Considering your experience, I get the impression that calling this thing truck is almost false advertising.
@@joebuslife9275 From what I can see from ol' google the top 4 most popular american pickups are the ford f150, the chevrolet silverado, the ram 1500, and the gmc sierra. All of which are available (and legal) in Europe. Basically. You're wrong.
I live in Norway (Europe), and at launch I pre-ordered a tri-motor Cybertruck, but later got back my entry fee. The Cybertruck can be used in Europe, but it need to be classified as a lorry/truck (and not as a personal vehicle). The max weight then is limited to an absolute maximum of 3.500kg (aprox 7720 lbs). That include the weight of passengers and what ever you carry with you. The lightest of Cybertruck gross in at 3009kg before any passengers. So I where to drive it, I would have aprox 380kg capasity. I own an old Dodge RAM 2500 (gen3) that I use frequently, and waiting for when the EV RAM might become available. the F150 Lightning is available here, but it's basically useless for anything else than driving empty, and with a price tag around 110.000 USD for a basic entry... it have priced itself out of the marked. PS: my daily driver is a BMW iX (EV). not a truck, but quite versatile and can tow as well as use internal cargo space.
Tesla always had quality issues. The cybertruck was fun at first, but if you can't use it as a serious work truck, than switch to a more reliable option
There are no electric trucks that you could truly use as a work truck. As soon as you put any sort of load on them the range just tanks. Electric trucks have a really long way to go
Since when has anyone, ANYONE, had their vehicle fail at two testing outlets, which in this case, was car and driver and edmunds? You could almost add a third because Consumer Reports had theirs have autopilot and associated features all fail.
I would never feel comfortable showing the whistlingdiesel video with the bumper falling off without first showing the previous part at 5:26 where they dropped the entire back of Cybertruck 3-4 feet off the big cememt pipe and it landed on the hitch/bumper on the wooden block. I have to consider that is when frame damage occured. Much different weight from dropping a F-150 with empty bed, and we didn't get to see the same thing happen with F-150 as it got stuck on the pipes! Do you ever fly on aluminum planes/jets? We'll have to watch to see how many Cybertruck hitches actually fail or if they stay intact like yours did.
He later did a video disproving this as an argument, where he gets a excavator and slams the F150 around 8 times from that height, ALTHOUGH is its true the frame of the truck bent (which he admits its a failure point) the hitch stayed on and the car was functional afterwards, and having your frame snap while towing a heavy load is 100x worse. But to be fair there's almost no argument here, steel is much stronger than casted aluminum that's why you normally use it for frames, and there's many other examples of Tesla's negligence when designing this truck so this could 100% be a design failure. And as Jery said, we have already seen at least 3 cases of this in Cybertrucks
Loose screw for door arm - that is NOT an easy fix! Try and tighten it and see what happens… it will work itself loose again in (short) time. You can Loctite it, but that will also not last that long, and you can make that screw so hard to remove that you will strip the head.
hahahahaha the rivian is not a pickup truck , its just an expensive toy. The real Ev pickup trucks are the GM and the Ford. Everything else is just fairy tales.
I think Rivian was the first electric truck he owned, he's been a supporter of them for a while and rightfully so with how small of a company they are.
@@leandronesi9519 Rivian is too "fancy" and not as useful in ways, too small of a bed for sure. Bigger problem I see is Rivian will have trouble lasting more than 3 more years. They are going to burn through all of their cash bringing R2 into production. Ford Lightning has too low of range. GM has behemoth battery, inefficient but it will work! Crazy how heavy that vehicle is...
Go ahead and buy the Silverado.(when it is available for sale i mean) it would be interesting to see you put the Cyber truck against the Silverado in light and heave applications. such as towing and hauling heavier items.
It's amazing how much cooler a Cybertruck looks in any color other than the plain steel. I saw one with a black wrap driving around town and it actually looked really cool.
At the asked pricepoint, the original promises at its announcement, and most importantly a work tool that can impact other traffic participants, non of the issues you mentioned in the beginning should have occured, especially from someone who knows more about production than anyone else on earth...
There is also the weight that makes it hard to sell in EU, we have a max weight of 3.5 Ton before you have to get a special licens to drive that vehicle on the road. This thing is so heavy that you can barely add anything to it before you have to get a CE licens. A personal vehicle is a standard C licens. A CE cost more to get. Honestly i would get a silverrado, it seems like a truck made to do truck stuff. aka work and not driving around one person to coffee shops.
@@xploration1437 In what world is it acceptable for a brand new car to start falling apart before 20,000 miles, genius? Buying a brand new product should be a guarantee of reliability while it's still practically new, not a gamble to see if the body panels stay on or not. If it's new and bad, that's the worst of both worlds.
Jerry was one of the initial reviewer of this dumpster, never highlighted the flaws.... and now Elon unravelling all his stupidities, everyone is jumping on band wagon to kick the falling horse
Since you asked what I think, I am boycotting all Elon Musk products that I possibly can. That includes Tesla and Twitter. I will actively campaign against Elon Musk at all possible opportunities. If I see a company that's advertising products on the behemoth pile that is a cyber truck, I'll actively boycott those companies. I'm not trying to be a jerk. Just my opinion. I absolutely would buy the Ford Lightning or the Rivian product, but I'm sticking with my old truck a 1997 Dodge 4x4 with 250k miles on it and I can fix everything myself.
4:07 "for the rivian and the cybertruck when snow hits their headlights they kind of just bounce off or melt away, but the cybertruck has this nifty little shelf right by the headlight" what?
Actually the Cybertruck is allowed in Europe (at least in Poland). Don't know whether with any modifications or not but still I've seen a few already registered here
They are not sold by Tesla... They were imported from private sales... But the EU and Musk are not in the best of sorts lately... so we will see what happens.
It amazes me that most of these things come down to build quality.. e.g. parts flying off the car, the paddels etc and not being able to tow too much because of the aluminum frame. This means they've tried to safe money on a lot of things.
I mean its mostly just that he bought one of the first hundred cybertrucks to exist... If he bought the millionth and had these issues that would be a way bigger issue.

I don't know how anyone can look at the Silverado, then be happy with the Cybertruck. The Silverado shows Elon could have made the Cybertruck have 500 miles of range, but he took the cheap way out. That alone would make it a "nope" for me, among other reasons.
I love that you mention the company didn’t want to be featured in the video, and then not only allowed them to stay anonymous, but explained in depth the issues that could stem from any attention directed from the cybertruck. It’s definitely a polarizing car. Personally, I’d ditch it for that new Silverado, as Tesla and Towing can’t go toe to toe.
You mean tow to tow
Its not a polarizing car. Its a piece of shit that should have never been released in the state that it was. The fact that this car isnt allowed in Europe speaks by itself. This car is comparable to Ubisoft games half baked built on big promises but fails to deliver on almost everything. Only difference is that playing ubisoft games wont kill you ,while your gas pedal getting stuck while driving probably will.
Let's not pretend the company's refusal to be featured as a sponsor had anything to do with an actual "polarizing" car and everything to do with the politics of the CEO and upcoming elections, and a cancel culture. Let's also not pretend that Zack's stopping the video and "explaining in depth" had anything to do with any issues but him wanting to make yet another politically charged statement.

3:45 as someone that drives a small car (2015 VW GTI) it pisses me off to no end when trucks pull up behind me and all I can see out of all my mirrors is their stupid, big, obnoxious, over bright headlights. The fact that the cyber truck has them lower to the ground actually helps a lot of us regular old sedan or car drivers not get blinded by the obnoxiously high up lights on trucks. You don’t need your lights to be the highest on the road, many people survive just fine with lights placed exactly where they are on the cyber truck or in my car. A good light should throw the light far regardless of placement if the projection system is up to snuff.

Well that certification process was also the same for aircrafts (the manufacture can just say the aircraft is safe and FAA is happy) and then we all know what happend with Boeing especially the 737 Max aeroplanes.
Well the designs shown to the FAA were actually good, they just cheaped out when actually manufacturing
I was thinking exactly the same thing when he said that. Especially with how many recalls that are happening.
The process is even more strict for Boeing Starliner and look what happened to that….
Elon can launch a rocket, land it on a moving ship, and catch it with chopsticks on a tower. Boeing can't event get a decades old 737 to be safe.
I can't believe that is happening in USA and not in some underdeveloped country
With all of the recalls, I'm really debating whether it was worth it for Tesla to sell this vehicle in the first place🤔
Probably did because it cathed a hell lot of attention
It was profitable just as a marketing move
Yeah maybe, but other car companies have had to recall millions of vehicles to replace engines, transmissions and other critical components. Recalls aren’t anything new

Aluminum has an IR reflectivity of 97 percent. Steel is 94. So just the "stainless" body panels alone make the thing an oven.
In addition, it is built like a solar panel. The sides of the car are practically perfect for absorbing the maximum amount of light from the sun. That plus the overly thick "bulletproof" glass and panels means the thing is built to retain heat.
A normal car absorbs less light and can radiate a lot of heat back out.
Why don't you just say you're jealous out loud instead of trying to beat around the bush
I hadn't heard about the trim falling off. Good to know the cybertruck isn't just a threat to pedestrians in front of it, it can also fling stainless steel knives at cars behind it.
Not a massive Tesla fan but I am a strong believer in headlights lower down. Blind driving highways at night ;o
Frankly, that shouldn't be more of an issue than it is. I drive both large trucks and small sedans and the only time I have have been blinded are by people who are driving older SUVs and trucks with aftermarket lamps. Now, in those cases I curse them but I never blame the truck for the owners bad decision.
It's not actually an issue of hight, it's an issue of alignment. They're not supposed to shine above a certain hight measured at a certain distance. The higher up, the more they're supposed to be angled down, they could be at fog light hight on a Corolla & still blind oncoming traffic.
That’s why every other truck made in the last two decades has fog lights as something optional that you can turn on

The headlights are a complicated problem. As a driver of an ordinary car I would love it if truck headlights were lower down so I don't get blinded by them. But since road signs are retroreflective the headlights need to be fairly close to eye level for them to be properly visible in the dark. Curious if mounting the headlights that far below the driver affects that at all.
One of my neighbors got the CyberTruck! He wanted so he could tow his boat to his off the grid lake house! He has solar but basically he figured out he can’t just go there and come home because it doesn’t have the range while towing and solar charging takes 16 hours! 😂
More money than brains. He sounded pretty committed to that idea, you'd think some napkin math would've been warranted but no. These people man.
Hella mate,my rivian truck has a generator and fuel box at the frunk for overlanding

100% those truck lights are blinding
The lightning has matrix zoned headlights. Pretty cool tech really. It sees oncoming vehicles and dims, shuts off or turns the appropriate LEDS away. It tracks vehicles and you can actually see it working as it creates a black non lit box around vehicles. The sad part is the US has not approved the use of Matrix lights so Ford has had to disable them through software while they wait years for approval. They work great in Canada though. Problem with the CT lights is that shelf right under them. No way that will work in Canada during the winter. We salt/sand our roads and the slush and grime would plug that up in minutes. Poor design choice and immediate deal breaker for us up here in Canada.
I did notice that when I’ve seen cybertrucks at night it’s really nice compared to almost any other truck
The cybertruck disappoints Tesla fans.
• The range is shorter than expected.
• The battery range extender is not available.
• The windows are not as strong as advertised.
• The hitch is mounted onto the aluminum casted frame, making it difficult to tow heavy loads.
• The cybertruck is more expensive than advertised.
• Tesla’s reputation is diminished.
and the battery range extender (if) it becomes available will take up half the truck bed lol.
Same with the spare tire, crucial for an off-road truck. Rivian solved this on day 1 as the first EV pickup.
"The hitch is mounted to the aluminum casted frame, making towing very dangerous to impossible after it broke off" It tows just as easy as long as it doesnt breake
Can't use the cybertruck in rain or snow either
I was a serious reservation holder but now it’s no where near as useful as I anticipated. No ramp and price were huge dealbreakers for me. Still somewhat cool but absolutely disappointing.

There is something about the Cybertruck headlights that I actually really like as a driver in a different car. Since the headlights are so much lower to the ground than most trucks, they don't shine directly into my eyes through my back window, almost blinding me, like what happens when I'm in front of most other trucks and large SUVs. It's *crazy* how they have a snow collection shelf, but at least I'm not being blinded. I just hope it doesn't run into me, though.
Good point, but they do need to fix the headlights clogging up with snow issue. Makes it a no go anywhere it snows!

I think a lot of it also has to do with crash incompatibility. Having a crash with any "normal" car can be fatal. That's why so many people see the cyber truck and their drivers so negative. It might be safe for the people inside, at the cost of everyone else around it.
Even if the Cyber truck would be legal in the EU, I don't think it would be very successful. The standard drivers license only allows vehicles up to 3.5t, which makes sense. Everything more is a "truck" and requires additional certification and knowledge by the driver.

The last mentioned issue (07:07) was pretty sensitive. I didn’t think of it that way.
You are a living legend Jerry
Proud are still people like you out there!
Without fear and favor

Would love to hear your opinions on the Silverado, but also want to know how a newer Rivian stacks up. In a couple years I’d also like to see what you think of the new Scout.
It’s been great seeing these vehicles actually used and getting perspective from the same person. It’s been refreshing to listen to your feedback because I don’t feel you are brand loyal and trying to sway opinion.
Keep up the great work!
I would sell it. I am very happy that it is not allowed in the EU with all the safety concerns the cybertruck has. Considering your experience, I get the impression that calling this thing truck is almost false advertising.
All the main American pickup trucks are not legal in Europe. The way he talks about it makes the viewer think it's a unique problem of the cybertruck.
@@joebuslife9275 From what I can see from ol' google the top 4 most popular american pickups are the ford f150, the chevrolet silverado, the ram 1500, and the gmc sierra.
All of which are available (and legal) in Europe.
Basically. You're wrong.
Already driving around Europe.
@@joebuslife9275 Thats wrong, there is a unique problem with the cybertruck. Pedastrian safety.
I see your truck here and there on the freeway in slc. Never ceases to amaze me how hideous this vehicle is in person.
I live in Norway (Europe), and at launch I pre-ordered a tri-motor Cybertruck, but later got back my entry fee. The Cybertruck can be used in Europe, but it need to be classified as a lorry/truck (and not as a personal vehicle). The max weight then is limited to an absolute maximum of 3.500kg (aprox 7720 lbs). That include the weight of passengers and what ever you carry with you. The lightest of Cybertruck gross in at 3009kg before any passengers. So I where to drive it, I would have aprox 380kg capasity.
I own an old Dodge RAM 2500 (gen3) that I use frequently, and waiting for when the EV RAM might become available.
the F150 Lightning is available here, but it's basically useless for anything else than driving empty, and with a price tag around 110.000 USD for a basic entry... it have priced itself out of the marked.
PS: my daily driver is a BMW iX (EV). not a truck, but quite versatile and can tow as well as use internal cargo space.
Ram 2500 in Europe is not what I expected
@XSir_DiabloX not that common here. But there are a good deal of 1500's.
The Tesla Cybertruck is not legal in the UK
Tesla always had quality issues. The cybertruck was fun at first, but if you can't use it as a serious work truck, than switch to a more reliable option
@@xploration1437absolutely 0 arguments
There are no electric trucks that you could truly use as a work truck. As soon as you put any sort of load on them the range just tanks. Electric trucks have a really long way to go
@@FerociousPancake888And since everything is controlled on a screen, if the screen has a bug or freezes now what?
Since when has anyone, ANYONE, had their vehicle fail at two testing outlets, which in this case, was car and driver and edmunds? You could almost add a third because Consumer Reports had theirs have autopilot and associated features all fail.
Every car company has had quality issues at some point. Tesla fixed theirs with all the new models. Exept from the cybertruck apparently.
I would never feel comfortable showing the whistlingdiesel video with the bumper falling off without first showing the previous part at 5:26 where they dropped the entire back of Cybertruck 3-4 feet off the big cememt pipe and it landed on the hitch/bumper on the wooden block. I have to consider that is when frame damage occured. Much different weight from dropping a F-150 with empty bed, and we didn't get to see the same thing happen with F-150 as it got stuck on the pipes! Do you ever fly on aluminum planes/jets? We'll have to watch to see how many Cybertruck hitches actually fail or if they stay intact like yours did.
He later did a video disproving this as an argument, where he gets a excavator and slams the F150 around 8 times from that height, ALTHOUGH is its true the frame of the truck bent (which he admits its a failure point) the hitch stayed on and the car was functional afterwards, and having your frame snap while towing a heavy load is 100x worse.
But to be fair there's almost no argument here, steel is much stronger than casted aluminum that's why you normally use it for frames, and there's many other examples of Tesla's negligence when designing this truck so this could 100% be a design failure. And as Jery said, we have already seen at least 3 cases of this in Cybertrucks
Definitely get the Silverado for your use case. I love the Rivian’s and the gen 2 would be cool but you’ll definitely use the Silverado battery.
The Rivian Gen 2 is a huge leap forward. I'd probably check them both out
Rivian Gen 2, just to support another really innovative company and help them with your thoughts and ideas.
Loose screw for door arm - that is NOT an easy fix! Try and tighten it and see what happens… it will work itself loose again in (short) time.
You can Loctite it, but that will also not last that long, and you can make that screw so hard to remove that you will strip the head.
Get a Rivian, so far they seem the best EV pickup option hands down.
hahahahaha the rivian is not a pickup truck , its just an expensive toy. The real Ev pickup trucks are the GM and the Ford. Everything else is just fairy tales.
I think Rivian was the first electric truck he owned, he's been a supporter of them for a while and rightfully so with how small of a company they are.
@@420Cris I owned one and the size of the bed is virtually the same as the ford maverick, you cant even fit a bicycle on it
Pretty much the fastest truck in the world too.
@@leandronesi9519 Rivian is too "fancy" and not as useful in ways, too small of a bed for sure. Bigger problem I see is Rivian will have trouble lasting more than 3 more years. They are going to burn through all of their cash bringing R2 into production. Ford Lightning has too low of range. GM has behemoth battery, inefficient but it will work! Crazy how heavy that vehicle is...
How much do you think its worth now if you sell it 🤔
$2.50
@@JerryRigEverything 🤣 straight to recycling plant
@@JerryRigEverythingi’ll take it for $3!
@@JerryRigEverything Missed a South Park reference by saying $3.50
@JerryRigEverything How about $10
Go ahead and buy the Silverado.(when it is available for sale i mean) it would be interesting to see you put the Cyber truck against the Silverado in light and heave applications. such as towing and hauling heavier items.
*cybertruck just chillin* “A very polarizing vehicle” 😂
Good points and summary. I had no idea about the aluminum “link” in that steel towing chain. My vote is for the Silverado.
It's amazing how much cooler a Cybertruck looks in any color other than the plain steel. I saw one with a black wrap driving around town and it actually looked really cool.
At the asked pricepoint, the original promises at its announcement, and most importantly a work tool that can impact other traffic participants, non of the issues you mentioned in the beginning should have occured, especially from someone who knows more about production than anyone else on earth...
There is also the weight that makes it hard to sell in EU, we have a max weight of 3.5 Ton before you have to get a special licens to drive that vehicle on the road. This thing is so heavy that you can barely add anything to it before you have to get a CE licens. A personal vehicle is a standard C licens. A CE cost more to get.
Honestly i would get a silverrado, it seems like a truck made to do truck stuff. aka work and not driving around one person to coffee shops.
0:17 "Three things I absolutely hate..."
*proceeds to open fire*
The rivian looks more friendly but tough and I feel like that fits your brand the most
So many tech RUclipsrs have a weird loyalty to Tesla. It was obvious at its reveal this was a stupid truck.
@1:55 it's called scam bro 😅🎉😂
A scam would be the truck not existing at all.. At the very most you could claim false advertising.
They never said the glass was bulletproof it’s not suppose to break from hard impacts the never said bulletproof glass
@markanderson8703 the AVERAGE for features/claims to be REMOVED/WITHDRAWN IS ABOUT ONE PER WEEK.
Jerry,whatever happened to the electric Hummer.
Is Tesla Cybertruck Ip68 resistant?
Just asking
2:16 that pedal looks so cheaply made, any japanese car even the cheapest will feel more solid what is this ?
Cyber truck is cheaply made in general Elon was just playing around he made cyber trucks when he was bored
Meanwhile Cybertrucks have been through alot of issues for almost alot of people
@@xploration1437 If it's new and shitty, it's shitty
@@xploration1437 In what world is it acceptable for a brand new car to start falling apart before 20,000 miles, genius? Buying a brand new product should be a guarantee of reliability while it's still practically new, not a gamble to see if the body panels stay on or not. If it's new and bad, that's the worst of both worlds.
@@xploration1437they were given like 5 years to release it
Jerry was one of the initial reviewer of this dumpster, never highlighted the flaws.... and now Elon unravelling all his stupidities, everyone is jumping on band wagon to kick the falling horse
@mpty2022 because these aren't flaws you get right away.
found your channel and subscribed simply because I heard you're getting rid of your tesla junk
Since you asked what I think, I am boycotting all Elon Musk products that I possibly can.
That includes Tesla and Twitter.
I will actively campaign against Elon Musk at all possible opportunities.
If I see a company that's advertising products on the behemoth pile that is a cyber truck, I'll actively boycott those companies.
I'm not trying to be a jerk. Just my opinion.
I absolutely would buy the Ford Lightning or the Rivian product, but I'm sticking with my old truck a 1997 Dodge 4x4 with 250k miles on it and I can fix everything myself.
Spontaneous disassembly....love it!
4:07 "for the rivian and the cybertruck when snow hits their headlights they kind of just bounce off or melt away, but the cybertruck has this nifty little shelf right by the headlight"
what?
He meant to say Rivian and Lightning.
Actually the Cybertruck is allowed in Europe (at least in Poland). Don't know whether with any modifications or not but still I've seen a few already registered here
They are not sold by Tesla... They were imported from private sales... But the EU and Musk are not in the best of sorts lately... so we will see what happens.
GO for the Chevy. Would be great to get your honest feedback from actual usage of the truck as you've done with the others.
It amazes me that most of these things come down to build quality.. e.g. parts flying off the car, the paddels etc and not being able to tow too much because of the aluminum frame. This means they've tried to safe money on a lot of things.
Not to mention horrible quality control
I mean its mostly just that he bought one of the first hundred cybertrucks to exist... If he bought the millionth and had these issues that would be a way bigger issue.
Now this is one way underrated video!
The opposite of a clickbait which is a rarity!

CT battery is around 200+ kwh. I hope they will hit 500+ kwh in the next 5 years, so that it can pull at good distances.
