You lost me when you got excited about the cup holders being polygonal.
Elon Musk had a hard time time with fitting the right shape of blocks into the right holes as a kid. Give him a break.
Hopefully European safety regs will keep this thing your side of the pond; that bodywork looks lethal for pedestrians.
There are no plans to get this to Europe. As you say razor blade edges. kit cars have to have a 3mm radius on edges
That's a good point, would fail an SVA let alone full mass market testing.
We need front height limit years ago. So many people are killed because of vanity trucks.
Yeah because a Range Rover is great for pedestrians at least this has automatic braking....
Don't worry, we're safe.
It hasn't got a hope of passing any European safety tests, plus I believe it's also too big.
4:54 those aren't fog lights, those are the main head lights!
Jup. And these people get to drive and review these amazing vehicles without knowing the basic facts.. lol
hexagon, you keep using that word... I don't think it means what you think it means
I think he needs to Google it. I laughed when he pointed at a triangle and called it a hexagon 😂
Right? Saw lots of rhombuses, not a single hexagon anywhere.
I’m guessing he meant polygons. But, oh well.
Inconceivable
He probably went to the same English class that says you can have various grades of uniqueness.
Now that the hype is settled you made an exact replica of what has already been said.. 🎉
yep, what is the point of this? guess I'll send an invisible thumbs down.
Ain't no damn cybertrucks
Yes, well if you don't have early access, or otherwise late to the party, you make a 'feature' out of it.
I expect better than this advert for the CT from a fully charged review tbh. Genuinely interesting things missed (electrical architecture, energy density, fsd vision) in favour of fanboy stroking the 'hexagons'. Meh.
Cybertruck now producing more than 1000 per day and on its way to OUTSELLING the Rivian, Lightning, Silverado EV , GMC EV and RAM EV.
Muuuuuuuuh. Go to bed.
FC China and N America really not the same quality. Zero humour and as you say, feels more like an advert. Bear in mind that this vehicle has been fully recalled due to poor workmanship and quality control leading to accelerators getting trapped under the body of the car.
@@MrDesserG - FORD is the leader in Truck RECALLS #1 ......lol
@@markplott4820 They have sold about 4000 so far according to the recall that was just announced. So, I assume they have been producing them for 4 days now?
Gutted! The cyber truck should've been reviewed by Kryton

“Mr Musk sir, you are a complete and total smeg head”

@2:12 Before you review any other lifted car (from the perspective a sedan or compact/sub compact car), how visible is a child / small adult who are trying to walk in the cross walk? That should be our measure of “good visibility.”
"You can see out the front" as if that was an extra feature... What a ridiculous thing to say.
(Because of course you can't see children crossing a street unless you're really far away in this monstrosity)
@@andreashausberger8262
Maybe thats the problem that you hit on "unless you are really far away [from a crosswalk] in this monstrosity". We should ask is there a need to have these silly high clearance, high drag coefficient cars who can kill small people/children with ease.
Japan has shown that kei cars work. With some of the largest kei truck (non commerical) beds being substantially larger than the cyber truck’s tiny bed.
"lifted car"
This is not a lifted car. It rides lower than its competitors. It has a shorter front than its competitors, both in terms of depth and height. I feel these criticisms have been unfairly targeted at Cybertruck and not other (much more egregious) trucks.
@@j1000a
So let me give you a sense of what lifted means on a flat road. GTs and Hyper cars fit somewhere around 1000mm to 1300 mm tall (looking at the Aston Martin to 911 (992 variant)). Normal sedans are around 1450 to 1550 mm (sampling Model S, BMW i5 (G60 variant) and a few Priuses). The truck class or lifted class tend to stand around 1700 mm to over 1800 mm in height. (This includes some/most SUVs and designed for merican oversized market: Toyota Tundra and up).
If I told you all cars where within 130% of the smallest car, no car is lifted. However based on these figures, 180% height of the smallest sampled car is significant. Especially if we are talking about aero properties (or lack there of).
To put this in perspective of small people (aka children) vs lifted cars. 120.5 mo old (10 years if you couldnt do the maths): 50th percentile is 138.82cm (3rd percentile: 126.67cm and 97th percentile: 151.53cm) (Reader, this is the value for boys but girls are almost identical to this size at 120.5 mo). So 1388mm tall child compared to a sedan that is only 1550mm tall, the driver can easily see this person. Place that same child in front of a 1800mm lifted car, maybe the driver will notice their heard. Maybe. Of course the child could be bent over and there is a 0% chance the driver will see over their massive front end.
Its damn reckless for people to buy lifted cars unless they absolutely need that clearance. Kei cars exist. Specifically the are mini trucks with LARGER beds than most standard length trucks (that are currently made for the states). These mini trucks are low to the ground and provide a human’s perspective. If the kei standard is too under powered for you, I’m sure the car industry can upgrade them a bit to tow centric without needing to lift them to 1700+ mm.
Thats how I am using lifted. Chill.
Absolutely. American style trucks are child-killers. Really having a flat front like this should no longer be allowed. The low, rounded front of the Model 3 is much better for pedestrian safety.
At 6:55, its not called a "wing pillar" its called a "flying buttress". There's been several cars with this design language Jaguar xjS FHC, Ferrari Dino 246 GTS and the Ferrari 599 GTO.
The steering wheel looks more like a squashtagon than a squircle.
wise words
A what?
I think someone said ‘make it: not all flat sided but not all oval, not square, not a circle’
@@talktorobi a squashed octogon.
I call it the woke bc Elon would hate that
If you physically strain yourself in order to look forward whilst saying the line 'visibility is good' then I don't believe you.
Ikr? Why are tesla cultists like this
😂😆
He can't see forward? You're being absurd.
@@jamesengland7461 over the hood? Visibility sucks so bad Tesla had to add a front cam
How is it absurd? He literally has to lean forward to see the front while claiming its easy to see, its not absurd to point this out@@jamesengland7461
I noticed you taking your eyes off the road for too long a couple of times to use the computer screen; what were you doing with it?
How do you clean the lower third of the inside of the windscreen? You know, the bit you mostly look through.
Also, for a comprehensive review, there was no mention of one of the more interesting features, the 48v low voltage system except a passing mention at the end.
I think the most interesting feature is the finger chopper
RTFM.
Woo ... an advert for Tesla! 🙄 (I was half-expecting him to utter orgasmic noises) 🤣
"dad? why does the future not look like the future?"
"son, I will make the future look like a playstation one video game"
Lol😂
"dad? why does the future not look like the future?"
"Shut up, son"
To be fair, most of his kids don't want anything to do with him so he needs to try impressing the ones who still talk to him. He's no good at being a dad so making a daft toy car is the next best thing I guess.
@@jamesbarker7145 or maybe he just blatantly LIED... is actually what that man child like, so he blame it on the kid.
@@johnsmith-cw3woYes, the fact he expects us to believe his kid actually said that is laughable. He doesn't have any contact with most of his kids.

Customer service is another area Tesla definitely trails in.
Wow, pretty much a 15 minute advert
Those doors are going to eat so many fingers
Pretty much sums up America!
he doesnt even know where the headlights are....
A vanity exercise, pure and simple.
This proofs my point similar to the garden bridge that never got built floating absurdly amount of useless cash to throw at a wall but never sticks, the Cybertruck is ambitious enough to made and angling to the surface that we can build ambitions over vanity.
If the late Zara Hadid designed a truck it would’ve been the Cybertruck, just take a look at her architecture history ambitious in design.
If you run your hand along it slower, it might appear even longer.
cameras and alerts all around the vehicle. you can see a one pound coin on the ground in front of it.
ooo-er!
If I'm 6-foot tall, and I lie in fetal position in the bed leaving 3 ft of room, does that mean that the bed of the truck is now 9 feet tall?
Comparing the Cybertruck to a Aptera, I think I prefer Chris's vision of the future over Elons.
that thing doesn't look anything like the future. It looks like what Homer Simpson created in the episode where he was given a box of crayons and told to design the ultimate car.
It's a big electric delorean. The future... 40 years ago.

😂😆
I thought I watched closely but maybe not. Did you forget to open a rear door and show the passenger area?
Or any details we might have really missed from other reviews. This was just yet another general overview.
Just another hype job. The opinions about the frunk was rediculous. 🤣
Where is Bobby and the Kryten suit when you need him! 🤣
Random question I haven’t heard answered; is reflecting the sun into oncoming traffic going to be very noticeable? Regular vehicles with curved windshields sometimes get me on a sunny day in the Nevada desert. I imagine a huge flat window and inline hood will reflect a perfect sun glare at just the right angle.
Definitely going to blind the crap out of people. Bad enough with chrome on vehicles
You never see a blinding glare in this or any other Cybertruck video
Just like you never see self driving Tesla fails, not because they don’t exist but because musky doesn’t want you to.
Don't worry. Rust will soon eliminate the glare.
If so, it not a problem... this is the FUTURE! Your question being way too practical.
I wonder if it is worse to close the door on your finger in this car than others, with edges like that?
Thankfully here in Europe we have the Tyre Extinguishers...
At the Cybertruck unveil event the dual motor version was said to have 300 miles of range, not 400 as Ricky incorrectly states here. They actually have a shot at hitting that, if you assume that at some point a software update will unlock the potential of the 4680 cells, which are clearly a drag on range and the charging curve at the moment.
If you drive similarly as the EPA range test you get similar range, which people have already done in the real world.
Why does it rust?

Cool cool
He was talking about the cast frame components, but ok.
• 48v electrical system
• Steer by wire
• Ethernet wiring harness
• Gigacasting cast chassis
• Rear wheel steering ...
He was talking more about the technology within the cybertruck rather than the cybertruck itself. Steer by wire steering and as such, it gives variable steering and is a major change.
@@beachcrowlmfao Mercedes had most of these for years.
Toyota did steer by wire first
But noooo, Tesla is soooo innovative 😂
@@Jaw0lfnah. Toyota did it first
It's like somebody took some restaurant counters and glued them together and put it on top of a battery with wheels.
Nope.
Thanks to stringent pedestrian safety regulations this version of the Cybertruck, and other obnoxious American trucks, cannot be sold in Europe.
They can still be bought from the US and imported by individuals.

@@dogjennings1171 Still needs to pass safety regulations though. You just import a large lawn ornament.
@bamikroket not in the UK. As a personal import, a Cybertruck would only need a Basic IVA (Individual Vehical Approval) which does not require the vehicle to meet regulations protecting pedestrians.
Kids, can you say, "Wrong, Wrong, Rama Lama Ding Dong?"
At the first pedestrian injury, this would be removed from the road in the UK & EUROPE
The design language may be cohesive but It's exactly what you'd expect from a guy who'd buy up an internationally known brand whose terminology had entered the lexicon of several languages and rename it X. It's achingly obvious that no one close to him ever tells him, "no, that's a silly idea" if they want to remain in that position.
That’s just not true. People tell him when he’s wrong. He even admits when he’s wrong.
I remember when he said that self driving cars will be a reality at the end of the year, in 2016 and 2017 and 2018 and 2019 and 2020 and 2021 but I can’t recall him ever saying he was wrong. But he did go to war with anyone posting self driving cars Tesla fails. I think never admitting your wrong is a conscious decision for musky and his fanboys.
@@yscol1313 remember when he hired Don Lemon to host a news show on twitter then fired him straight away because he didn’t like the questions he was asked in an interview he gave to launch the channel? 😂
Don was in negotiations - not hired. His demands were wholly unreasonable which is why they didn't end up signing him... a decision made jointly by The CEO and CTO.@@kickedinthecalfbyacow7549
@@yscol1313No, not true. It is well known that you don't keep your job long if you contradict Elon. Many ex-Tesla execs have stated that.
The light bar does not light the road…the lower lights are the actual headlights.
It will always remind me of a cooker hood.
Only not as stylish😊
A cooker hood don't rust as fast as the Cyber-rust
Most expensive cooker hood imaginable
@@SomewhereInTheSolarSystem Nice try but that whole rust issue was FUD that has been debunked.
@@beachcrow It's on their manual, that it must be cleaned immediately after a trivial rain. It's funny they put this warning into the manual, when the vehicle is plenty of internal side surfaces that are exposed and will never be cleaned. But don't worry, fanboys can live in a parallel reality.
9 out of 10 trucks, never see dirt, never tow anything, move a case of beer a few times a year.
For the remaining 1 out of 10 users this may or may not be the truck for there needs.
Even then a van may be a far better choice.
90% of trucks are pointless
Every van is a better choice
Trucks aren't normally used for their intended purpose. Many guys buy them to make up for what they're lacking down below.
The vast majority of trucks, even light duty ones, are bought and operated by businesses and governments, not private buyers. Perhaps your 9 out of 10 idea works in some limited way with private buyers but it really isn't necessary to look that deeply given that the basic premise is so easily falsified.

I saw some crash test videos, and this jawn had NO crumple zones.

My thoughts exactly! I wanted to see if anyone else noticed before posting a new comment 🙂
How unironically apt
Ha. Well spotted 🙂

The amount of time your eyes were away from the road while moving is a very good reason for scrapping touch controls in cars.
Careful, the Tesla fans will come at you with some nonsense about iPhone vs BlackBerry.
Other car manufacturers already do that.
I like critical reviews.
Thank you.
interesting, did you find this one critical? because i did not.. in my opinion, fully charged is great at showing new products in the ev field with lots of positivity, which is good and needed! but i often don't find the reviews critical or honest enough. for example - i find the cybertruck really cool, but how much should it be praised for that, versus criticized for the problems which he pointed out quickly in the end of the video? like the range and the price. 340 claimed miles to 260 test miles. 50k dollars more than they said originally. that's the price of a whole (really good) car! i wonder if the people that it's aimed for are going to be able to buy it.. futuristic, sure, but it's not hard to be futuristic if the price doesn't matter.
How to tell you are watching a Tesla fanboy. "Not square or circular, it's a squartle. A square circle hybrid." Or to the rest of humanity, a rectangle.
😂😆
A rectangle doesn't have curved edges genius
A rectoval....
The Austin Allegro had similar.
The rear view mirror is most likely there because it is required by law.
I am surprised that it is not required by law to be able to see in that mirror, with this big of a track using just the side mirrors is a recipe for disaster
Meh. Most long-time truck owners are not going to go for it, but… it will give a Cyborgasm to the E'loon cult.
Not only do I not want steer by wire I want it to be illegal. I do not want cars on the road where there is no physical connection between the steering wheel and wheels on the tarmac.
I saw this episode on March 8th. Yesterday, the storage lot at the Austin Gigafactory held over 100 Cybertrucks. They're going somewhere.
Yeah, into storage.
Anyone else ever worked for a boss that knew far less than you and made stupid decisions, but you had to bow to their every whim because they were the boss? This is the rolling embodiment of that.
We've all been there....😀👍
i see this as a positive. there will never be any innovation if everyone just does business as usual and or copies everyone else. you could delete 50% of car companies and no-one would notice. either they use the same platform and put a different looking chassis or the other way round. and change the price tag a little. that's not engineering. that's milking customers who don't have good alternatives
Lol no it would have never made it into production if that was the case.

Too bad the truck can't even be left out in the rain...😊
There's a reason you don't see bodywork that shape on any other vehicles, because it will rip a pedestrian in half, and vehicles designed like that would fail basic safety tests in most of the civilized world!
So if it's tested and approved by NCAP for pedestrian safety you will embrace it?
That'll be why they sell it in the USA then. 🤭
@@gpsfinancial6988 If it doesn't, will you critcise it?
@@davidcolin6519 Sure will, I'm unhappy about the obesity of current SUVs and trucks. I suspect that due to the design of the Cybertruck pedestrian safety will be better than most SUVs in the market. That's not to say it will be good, just better than where the market is. Small does not mean good. Zero star Renault Zoe has a pedestrian rating of 41%. VW Up 46%, tiny Fiat 500e 67% all much lower than the obese Tesla Model X with a pedestrian safety rating of 72%.
@@gpsfinancial6988 No. It requires a truck license in Europe. It can cut off your fingers. It doesn't have physical controls for the most often used functions. (BTW NCAP now requires physical controls to achieve 5 star ratings ) It doesn't and could never meet the EU requirements of rounding steel edges at least 3.2 mm.
Serious question what happens if you're not anywhere near a charging stasian?
Like, say you get stuck in a traffic jam for hours because of an accident or a road hazard?
@carolynbrown5145 I don't know how to answer other than to say it's exactly the same as if you are in a combustion vehicle. I have been in this position in an electric car. There was a serious incident on a motorway resulting in a 15 mile tailback. I was probably at mile 8 in an electric car.
We had a 4 hour wait, in winter. It was cold for UK standards, a little under freezing and I was fine. I was running the heating, and for the entire period I was sitting there, I lost maybe 2 or 3 miles of range.
All around me people were sitting with their engines running to keep their heating on, burning fuel, reducing their range by far more and also filling the air with toxic, poisonous fumes.
Here's the important thing, anyone can come up with a scenario where an electric car fails for one reason or another. But you can do exactly the same thing with combustion vehicles.
So the only serious question is this.
Is what we do now okay. Is burning billions of gallons of toxic fossil fuel every day okay.
If it is, forget electric cars, carry on as 'normal.'
It's 5% of what a Citroen DS Special 1973 model is. Engineering perfection was achieved 50 years ago. Just electrify that.
Nothing new in this video I haven't see already

Two Bit - the Cybertruck rearview mirror is FMVSS compliant .
however, the MAIN way to view REAR is w/ rear camera on MAIN Display.
I sincerely hope this doesn't become the general aesthetic in the future.
It won't. Only Tesla stans think this is the future. 73 delivered in February says not as many people are buying into that future as they predicted.
1) "capacitive buttons never felt quite the right thing" Yes, they are shit. And if automotive journalists had called them that from the beginning they would be already gone from cars.
2) Touchscreen made you look away from the street for 4 full seconds while driving, with only short blinks for the street. This is the next thing that needs to be banned.
3) bed being large enough to transport bodies is probably a feature for most who would drive this.
4) the only divisive thing about this car is the design, everything else is either nothign new or dumb. (rusting panels anyone?)
I don't think that the Emperor is wearing any clothes.........
Tested by a Tesla owner. Wonder why this review was so favourable.
Rivian >
R2!
Yeah.. not from what Ryan Shaw had to say about his before he sold his Rivian.
I’ll be more interested in Rivian after they get their software bugs worked out. Nice truck otherwise, but off my buy list mostly because of the random phantom issues owners have been experiencing.
Personally, I was planning on buying a Silverado EV until GM stupidly announced they weren’t going to support CarPlay or Android Auto. That was an instant no-buy from that moment forward. But if GM has a change of heart and adds CarPlay support again, it would be my first pick for an electric truck. But until then, I’d have to go with a CT. And like I said, if Rivian gets its software bugs out of the way, it would also be a contender, as I think the tunnel storage is clever, but still not crazy about their decision to not make the grill rise with the hood, making it more difficult to access. Hoping things improvements are made in future Rivians though as they have a decent looking (still not used to the Big Hero 6 headlights though) truck with good functionality and efficiency.
@@evolv.e nothing he says is worth anything.
@@evolv.e"I refuse to by Silverado without Carplay or Android Auto, so I will buy a Cybertruck without Carplay or Android Auto!"
Tesla stans sure are a special bunch.
I think it looks like the engineers have been forced to build a kids drawing. Thankfully on this side of the pond people who use pickup trucks generally do so for practical reasons so other than the odd poser I doubt many of these will be about even if they can pass safety legislation.
It won't have a cement mixer thrown in the back of it, that's for sure. It's basically a big boy's toy for people with more money than sense.
Those razer sharp stainless steel blades that are the front wings will cut you in two in a pedestrian collision. It will never meet European safety regulations.

I’d rather they focus on making a model 2 that’s affordable to the masses.
Where is the profit in making a car for a price sensitive market? Oh. Oh there isn’t
People like you complained that the Model S wasn’t for the masses. You can’t just build cheap cars. Because you decide to. You have create to tech and methods first. Then bring the price down.
They are, but it will face tough competition from companies the likes of BYD and some other Chinese EVs
Honestly, this review is embarrassing. The presenter literally has no idea what he's talking about most of the time. I only watched the first 5 minutes, because I couldn't bring myself to endure anymore. A few examples: Excusing the "smoothed" edges, which other channels have shown are capable of cutting carrots (and appendages), the fact that he says the big light bar provides good illumination when it is in fact just a DRL and provides no notable illumination (the actual headlights are below), that the tailgate is "soft close and soft open" when it is in fact not a power closing tailgate. The level of incompetence is astounding.
You seem to not understand the difference between 'soft' and 'power', perhaps a mirror would be helpful.
Balanced levers can make it soft close or open, does not have to be powered.
…and is that glass bigger than a semi or coach / bus
…and, can you really see the front of the vehicle from inside…not with glass in the same line as the hood.
exactly.
Tesla's best product is now its supercharger network, followed maybe by its power backup batteries. Musk is wasting the company's funds on things like cybertruck and the model x
I don't think Tesla Share holders see the profit margin being a waste.
Hey!! I love the Model X. It's Tesla's best car! Well the old ones at least, not the new ones.
There are far better options for home backup than Powerwall.
Waiting to see it do truck stuff lol. Zero truck things were done
How are you aloud to drive on public roads without registration plates?
"Cohesive design language"!!!??? WTF is that!? You are part of that hype-groupie machine!
The emperors new coat. From every angle it’s ugly and naked . If that was the first vehicle Tesla bought out they wouldn’t be here.
The overall idea was Ok, the execution of the vision fell completely short.
and yet, already outselling Rivian & Lightning.
If I was a Clown.........maybe this would make sense. 😃
Citroen had variable rate steering in the 60s.
Personally, I think the Tesla engineers have done the best they can, given the constraints they had to work with.
This is one butt-ugly vehicle (granted, a matter of opinion and taste) with a whole bunch of glaring safety flaws (objectively so, as others have pointed out).
Yes, some people might consider it 'visionary' and 'forward looking', but it's possible to do those things while building a vehicle that is *actually* aesthetically pleasing and *doesn't* ignore the last 50 years of road safety research...
I like parts of it.
No rear view mirror monitor? My little Bolt has that and it's great.
How much to replace the windshield, or the wiper?
How do you clean the inside of that monstrous windshield? Oh, right, hundred thousand dollar car, they pay someone to do it :P
Almost 240kWh?! That's almost 4 Bolts or other sane sized cars.
Those A pillars are scary.
Do those doors have enough oomph to pop open when the car is iced up? Oh right, 100k car, it'll sit in a garage.
I do like the look. It seems capable. I like the built in cover and several of the other features.
Def never gonna get one myself, but I won't begrudge others buying it.
It starts at 80k, there is a backup camera, and the battery is 123kWh, not 240kWh.
There is a rear view mirror.. digitial.. on the display.
@@larryspiller15No $80k models are available yet. So, as of right now, it is either $100k or $120k.

How is it when it comes to hauling things like moving furniture, and heavy equipment?
Needs those table corner things made of rubber, you know, for todlers. Thats a pedestrian maiming machine. 🤦🤦🤦
Glad this isn't coming to Europe. Horrible for pedestrian safety.
Definitely below FCS standards, guy doesn't even know what a hexagon is
Or a square
Aptera is a better route to "the FUUuture". We're not going anywhere forward by making things heavier. Electric somewhat aero versions of things like a Suzuki Carry are a much smarter direction for utility vehicles.
I've got a 13 year old Mitsubishi minicab miev EV Kei van which I use every day, the future was available in 2011. Now I can get a battery re pack that gives 240kl of range up from the original real world 100kl.
Unfortunately aptera is a pipe dream will never enter production
as always check out other reviews as well. throttle house has a real fun one where they make a roadtrip with it.
I would be so embarrassed to be caught in one. It just screams "I'm an idiot"
Stop screaming!
I shouldn't be hating , but i cant disagree with you , it reminds me of something built in a farmers shed with limited tools , thats a pity.
This design was taken from 6 year old.
tell me you are ignorant of engineering, without telling me you are ignorant of engineering.

@@stgeorgee No respectable engineer would admit having a hand in this atrocity.
The ancient Egyptians would love it, Elton's sarcophagus.
@6:18, are you a sheet good? are you a ladder? I didnt know you were the standard for how small a truck bed should be lol
Why are you platforming this über-teslafanboy? His reviews regarding tesla are always HEAVY pro-tesla.
Come on!
Agreed
How's the pedestrian safety crumple zone ?
This vehicle is a joke.
Pedestrians still crumple, just less than other trucks and vans.
1:21 hahAHaha... it's a Squircle... a Squirtle is a pokemon 😂🤣
Ah, nothing new. No new details were missed.
