Tesla Cybertruck Review: Oh Dear, It's Here
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 22 май 2024
- Let’s test drive and review the 2024 Tesla Cybertruck!
The Cybertruck is brand new, and this truck is a dual-motor, all-wheel-drive model. It’s from the Foundation Series, which is an optional package that includes a few extra features and an earlier delivery day than other Cybertruck drivers. Foundation Series models are the first to be delivered, and this one only has 85 miles on it.
The Cybertruck debuted in 2019, and mass production began recently. Its release date got pushed back a few times, and Tesla CEO Elon Musk delivered the first trucks in late 2023.
There are currently three Cybertrucks listed for sale via reservation. The base rear-wheel-drive model starts at $61,000, and the mid-tier AWD one in this video starts at $80,000. The top model, the Cyberbeast, starts at $100,000 and will have an estimated 845 horsepower.
This AWD truck has an automaker-estimated 340 miles of range, 600 horsepower, 4.1-second 0 to 60 time, and 11,000-pound towing capacity. The truck has four-wheel-steer and steer-by-wire, which makes its yoke-shaped steering wheel much more livable. It also has one big windshield wiper - not wipers - and adaptive air suspension.
The IIHS, America’s big nonprofit crash-test rating firm, has yet to test the Cybertruck. But safety experts have concerns about how the pedestrians and other vehicles will fare in a collision with the truck, no matter how much Elon Musk talks about how safe he thinks the truck is. We’ll discuss that more in the video.
We’ll also talk about the Cybertruck’s history (including that wild reveal event from 2019), performance, special features, interior, driving dynamics and how it rides, outside attention, and why people either love it or think it’s a disaster. Driving the Cybertruck in 2024 feels like driving a Lamborghini; everyone stares and pulls their phones out, and you feel like a rolling commercial for electric-car excess. I’d love to try the truck off-road, but we’ll have to try to do that in a future video.
Thanks for watching my RUclips channel. Enjoy the drive!

I know people have super strong opinions about this truck, and I appreciate you all for listening to mine. Enjoy ❤
I feel bad for you
In reality tho the truck is useless and it’s a meme
Great review! The best one I've watched on this truck yet, love your work 😊
Thank you for making the video!
People have strong opinions about Elon Musk, because he promotes white supremacy and does tech support for Nazis on Twitter. By failing to even mention this as a concern to buyers, you are showing which side you are on. Disgusting.
The outside of the car is AC/DC at a live concert and the inside is a lullabye 🙂
The inside should win an award.....
Great review as always!
Loved the background music, especially the piano.
I was actually impressed when the large metal balls didn’t fully go through the CyberTruck windows as I would feel safer in that than my current cars that would not have fared nearly as well.
I really appreciated the context for this review, best example was that of the ZR-1 also not meeting European standards for pedestrian safety.
And I think for a die hard NASCAR enthusiasts, your score was … very generous.
So kudos on that.
Also I really really appreciated that you talked about the vehicle as it actually IS … and nothing beyond that.
Thanks so much 😎👊🏻👍🏻
Thank you so much, Ted. Really appreciate this comment
I'm firmly on the "dislike it" camp but appreciate the very balanced review of the car you had in front of you, while being respectful of someone else's property and not going crazy with some stunts/tests.
Being more on the introverted side, and living in the desert, the shortcomings you present are all I needed to hear so as to swear off the car, ignoring my lack of money to buy it lol. Also, living in Mexico, I expect a certain type of crowd with lots of money and a penchant to show off to flock to it...if it's off road competent enough to actually get to the fields they live/work in with the ehm "high risk agriculture" and the associated living arrangements needed.
Thank you so much for watching despite being in the “dislike it” camp. It means a ton that you care what I have to say
@@AlanisKing Happy to support you & your husband, you guys are doing great with this channel!
great review, and keep up the awesome work with this channel, you and your husband continuously work your tail off and it shows in the great content!
Thank you so much. We really try!
Its so weird to see my daily commute/local area in the driving section (hello Quarry, hello Olmos Basin, hello 281!). Great review Alanis!
Thank you so much for watching!
I was looking forward to this one, and you absolutely delivered with a very comprehensive review!
Ahhhhhh thank you 🤠🤠
EXCELLENT VIDEO!! First time watching your videos, I love your video style! It is so good!!! 👍👍👍
Appreciate this so much 🤠
Always nice to come home from a hard day of work to get blessed with a new alanis video!
Ahhhhh thank you!
The car review industry is so oversaturated...or so I thought. Really great production. She the real deal. Really downplays how attractive she is and is only bringing substance, finally, got to respect that approach in today's climate.
Saw this truck at the mall today and it's really impressive. As she said, the interior is so calm compared to the outside ruggedness.
I really appreciate this. Thank you for watching. Means a lot
King of the trucks 👑
I can’t tell if this is about me or the Cybertruck, but I’ll take it
Any update on the light-bar that was suppose to be included on launch?
Good question! It is not on this truck yet. The owner says they're not sure when they'll get it
There's a lot of features that are supposed to be on this stock from the factory and they don't have it
Another amazing review! I've never heard these viewpoints yet and much appreciated! PS, can you please try to review the new M2 and/or Mustang GT (w/performance pack)?
I had the GT recently! 🤠 will try to get an M2
You need to put it in extract mode to measure the full height suspension.
Hahahaha the video doesn't include me saying "I think I'm doing this wrong"
@@AlanisKing It is also a bit confusing. The extract mode is only in the off-road settings.
And there are a lot of suspension levels:
entry, low, medium, high, very high and extraction mode.
@@AlanisKing Why is that funny, that's just misinforming your viewers. It tells us you don't care about us.
@@ZipZoomZipoh shut up already!
@@ZipZoomZip I stopped watching at the point she measured the height.
🤣🤣🤣 what! That broken window trick on the screen is so cool. Great review!
Thank you for watching 🤠
Alanis, your music selections are truly AWESOME.
That's all my husband! Thank you!
@@AlanisKing that man's keeping the classics alive
I watched the Lexus IS 500 review recently and thought “I really hope Alanis reviews the Cybertruck soon” and voila! What an incredible review this was. I will say I have heard conflicting info about the crumple zones, in some of the engineering interviews they showed the front gigacasting and pointed out where the crush cans would mount, also the front gigacasting itself is designed to crumple predictably in a way to absorb the energy from a crash, very interested to see independent crash testing for Cybertruck in the future though. Anyways, fantastic review!
Ahhhh thank you so much. Appreciate you watching and posting a nuanced comment!
To get to 17" of clearance, you need to set the dynamic to off road and then set ride height to extract mode. My guess is you had it in the High setting.
Yeah I did! We cut out the part where I said “I’m probably doing this wrong” for time, since my confused face was enough
lol thank you for not trying to fit in the "frunk". I was concerned for a second when the camera cut to it open with you beside it. Especially after hearing about the lack of appropriate resistance calibration issues causing it to close without hesitation.
I have to agree overall...It's a weird car, and it'll be a historic car. Does that make it the best? Certainly not...all that pizzaz comes at a cost of practicality in some cases.
So true! Yeah, can't chance it with a private owner's car. Too risky!
Fantastic Video!
Thank you 🤠🤠
Oh my goodness Alanis!! I had to jump to RUclips to hear and see your reaction to this Cybertruck and you reacted the way I thought you would, honest and fair! And I KNEW at some point I'd hear a little Für Elise! Elegant review as always Alanis! You are one of the FEW Cybertruck reviews I've watched...HONESTLY!!! LOL! And of course, the trunk test! Always a delight!
Ahhhh thank you so much 🤠 we really appreciate it
Nice video, Alanis!
Thank you 🤠
Such a fun and informative review! I think all of your points are fair and precisely what needs to be said. The head room is impressive. Looking from the outside you think it won't be spacious but it is! Totally surprised me. I didn't see if the owner had the second rearview mirror activated on the touchscreen or not. If so does that help much more compared to the teeny tiny lil rear view mirror in your humble opinion? Curious like you, why Tesla didn't put a 360 overhead view cam on it. For the price most GM vehicles do. That just baffles me with it's blind spots and not so good rear view out the back window.
Thank you so much for watching! I really appreciate it. The backup camera was on in this truck, but no additional rear views. It made it a little disorienting!
@@AlanisKing anytime! You know I'm always down for a great in-depth car review! Especially how many of you can fit in the trunk and if it's Portia approved of course! Heh I can totally see the camera being disorienting. They've gotta add a 360 overhead view or something.
Alanis King, soon to become king of car RUclipsr royalty. Love these videos, love these reviews!
This is so kind! Thank you!
Another superb review, loved the insights on both the pros and the cons of the Cybertruck. Hopefully Tesla sends you a Roadster for review when it finally comes out.
Thank you soooo much for watching
Great, detailed review, thanks Alanis.
Thank you for watching 🤠
Production, narration tops.
Thank you!
Nice hand gestures, you were schooled well my child. I suggest more steeples though.
Awesome truck! It has about 100 features that no other vehicles have, would have been cool to list them on the screen. Also this truck cant be stolen if you use the pin code feature, and comes standard eith lojack, you can see the location at all times using the phone app. Totally theft proof, and mostly bullet proof. Also has a wade mode and double locking diffs. The steering has a comfort mode which makes it feel lighter, and you probably had it in chill mode vs standard mode, hence the heavy feeling pedal. You glossed over that the rear screen can play Netflix on RUclips, and video games with Bluetooth controllers. And the amazing sound system is better than any vehicle ever made, including Bentley and Bhughatti. Overall, I think it was a fair review.
Thanks for watching! Can’t mention everything - if I did, the review would be an hour! It’s a balance of discussing important things without going deep into the stuff that’s been discussed so much people will click away
Finally saw one out in the wild in my little backwater burgh. I don’t care for it or the dude responsible, but I can’t deny that it draws the eye. I’ve seen a couple Rivians, but they don’t look remarkable unless you see them from the front.
It is VERY eye-catching
Great review Alanis! You're so good at this. Notifications set to: ALL 🔔
Ahhhhhhh thank you!
Holy Cow! What a nice looking Tesla Cybertruck This is! Goes from 0-60
It goes from 0 to 112
How did you find out about Homefield Apparel ? Bloomington Indiana company
They’re huge in college sports (and now motorsports!). They hit me up to partner with the channel when they launched their NASCAR and IndyCar lines this year - I was just at their HQ last week!
Alanis, good work, but you missed a few things on your score, I felt it was more relative and not absolute.
That’s fair! It was a very quick filming session - husband was very ill from the heat and we had to move fast - so all I can do is my best with the time I have
@@AlanisKing again good job- hope your hubby is already feeling better. I just saw your channel. Good stuff, keep them coming.
Definitely Show quality visuals !
Those flat stainless steel panels still puts a smile on my face. I do appreciate the effort and dont think it will get stail.
Just try not to touch them! Fingerprints!
Oh Dear, the best Cybertruck review on RUclips!! Now my life is complete knowing there is a truck that can fart on demand! 😄
Omg THANK YOU Francisco
@@AlanisKing, thank you for all that you do!! 😄
simp Lol
Annnnnd...my day's going to start 32 minutes later than planned. Gotta watch this first.
Omg! Thank you!
Love it, what a great review. I just got my Beast as well, it's amazing.
Thank you for watching!
Loving your car reviews! Hope your channel continues to grow. *subscribe*
Thank you 🤠
I read the title, looked at the channel and saw kings name and I thought, "yep, that sounds just like her" based on the donut racing show podcast.
Hahaha
Haha yesss! There’s one that Tesla is showing off in at shows here in Europe (it’s currently at the Viva Tech conference in Paris which Elon also just spoke at), even though it’ll never be sold here officially.
I want to drive one around Amsterdam streets just to see what it looks like and how people react! When I drove my Mercury grand Marquis around Amsterdam, people’s heads would always turn, can you imagine a Cybertruck?! 😆
I cannot even IMAGINE. People would be staring!
Nice hips
Obese
I saw a couple around town in the wild. It was…something.
It is something!
Great review and congrats on your new channel! Effin’ Doug, he’s on my sh!t list for letting you go.
Thank you so much for watching 🤠
Your reviews are better than dougs fr
Thank you so much for watching!
I appreciate the the Musk quote about wanting to go up against the best selling car in the US to offset the most gasoline miles starting the conversation. My biggest issue with this truck is somewhere that mission got lost. Its a fine EV and certainly interesting. But what does it do functionally the same or better then any other truck, gas or EV?
That’s such a good point
Thanks for the review! It's not for me but I really appreciate your points on what it does well. The safety concerns probably top my list, followed by reliability of the mechanical systems and those stainless steel panels.
Feed the engagement beast!
Thank you so much 🤠 appreciate you watching
I feel a B- rating is a bit generous, but fair review overall.
Was trying very hard to get rid of any bias on my part, and also recognize that this is the car some people really want. Thanks for watching 🤠
A Great honest review and video!
I can’t imagine, even attempting a parking deck in this vehicle. Can’t imagine having an accident, with another regular sized vehicle. This is truck going to really hurt some people. Technology is great, but it’s definitely not for me.
Thank you so much for watching : )
You should have done a carrot test on the auto close function. Breaking fingers is 2024 technology.
Great review on a controversial vehicle.
Hahahaha I thought about it, but also, it was a private owner's truck and I didn't want to chance anything : ) thanks for watching!
If you put your fingers close to the hing in any auto close door from any year you will break fingers.
I live in Spain and I know that this thing will never be available in Europe, but I still find it quite interesting, we need more madness in this industry. This is one of the best reviews I've seen yet, good work Alanis
Thank you SO much for saying this
Yes it's beautiful will never be available in Europe @@AlanisKing
Prince Albert II test drives Elon Musk's Tesla Cybertruck.
I enjoyed your take on the cybertruck, I spent a few days with one and found my experiences to be similar! I think if Tesla REALLY wants to compete in the electric pickup market, this is a great start, but needs refinement. one point about the rearview mirror you missed! When the tonneau cover is "on" it becomes entirely useless! They couldn't even make it a camera like most luxury vehicles these days!
That did surprise me! I was actually going to mention it, but the GoPro overheated before I could put the cover up and talk about it : ( One big downside of that windshield
That’s what the rear camera is for. I only use that camera on my model S.
The Cybertruck is its own badge.
That’s what I said!
Can you review a Ford Maverick hybrid please 🎉🎉
Coming in a few weeks!
you are amazing Alanis
🤠🤠
The more I think about it, it’s just the modern day version of when the PT Cruiser came out. So many loved and hated it, articles about the design and such. I’ve seen so many videos and reviews on this already, and saw one in person. I’m very indifferent on this particular truck, but this (and other fast & heavy trucks like EV Hummer) seems so dangerous to me. Not just because of the angles, but just how massive and quick this truck is; especially in person.
Very fair all around
The PT was a failed recreation of the 40s-50s era.... CT has no era to copy or recreate....
@@kylereese4822 I was referring more to the reception of it by people, not so much the design itself. Also there are a lot of “wedge” shape cars that used to be popular in car design decades ago. For instance, the TVR Tasmin or many cars/concept cars designed by Giugiaro. I think the only thing unique about this is that it’s a pickup truck, allegedly. Some of the tests online make it seem like it isn’t even that good in the useful side of things, but that’s beside the point.
You don’t have to do 10 point turns in that vehicle. It turns better than a Corolla. The truck won’t be flashy in a year when they make more trucks than Porsches.
I am so excited that you have an opportunity to review this vehicle
Me too!
I just seen someone driving this in my neighborhood 😳
I love how honest and unbiased these reviews are. It's hard to find someone really willing to highlight both the highs and lows of even the most controversial cars
Thank you so much. I really try, and it means a lot that you notice
I think that the Cybertruck is a good move on Tesla's part to keep interest in the brand. For $100k, I think having a camera rearview mirror should be included as well as 360 cameras.
PLEASE more cameras
The word for "less heavy" is "lighter" 😂😂😂😂
Soo cool.
It was wild to drive!
The FOMO is so real... maybe I'll be able to pick one up once the 2.0 arrives.
Maybe by then you’ll get fewer stares too!
There was a video of a thief that tried so hard to smash the cybertruck Window but failed.. The CT is so tough
Very!
Never watched your reviews before and thought it was incredibly well done. Loved the music, simple editing that isn't over the top or distracting but I do wish more people who review this vehicle would report on the misses.
It seems like every reviewer had honeymoon googles on with this car when it actually misses in a bunch of key areas that were initially promised (for example, gas less payload, towing and range as initially promised.
Also, FSD doesn't even work on this thing...
I don't think autopilot does either, for "reasons" but yes, please believe Elon Musk when he says he's talking to at least "one major OEM" who wants to license FSD, even though they apparently can't even plug-and-play with it among their entire vehicle lineup in house.
That said, great review of a vehicle I hate.
Thanks for watching and being so kind! I actually did the narrative intentionally, and considered putting all the missed promises in there (instead of just a few examples, like I did). I've seen the Cybertruck videos out there and know a lot of the missed promises have been covered to death. Also, it's very common for Tesla to miss promises, like the windows in the debut!
If I did all the missed promises, the video would've been 50 minutes, and I felt it was best to focus on features and driving dynamics (with a few missed promises added in) in order to differentiate from what people have seen already. It was a conscious decision, and I think it was the right one - there's so much back and forth with the missed promises that the pace of the video would have droned on with all of them, and I don't know that it would've added enough to justify for that
If your goal is to provide valuable and accurate data, Reuters is not the place to go for your research.
My 2 cents, before a reviewer looks at a product, set some expectation first. The design of this truck is to standout, different than anything else on the road. It's exceeded the expectation. Not saying it's good/bad because the look is subjective. If you don't want to standout, don't want attention, get a Corolla , there are millions on the road and no one cares. Not going to comment on other things she said except the 360 view camera, I agree this feature should be there.
Im more surprised that the front seats can accommodate your dump truck
Haven’t watched this yet but I’m hoping at least one Alanis in the frunk and not get chopped while trying to
I didn’t want to mess up their frunk since it’s a private owner’s car 😞
@@AlanisKing noooo 😭
Nine Alanises in the trunk bed is pretty impressive though! (Guess the hidden cubby in the bed is too small for even one?)
@@AlanisKing The finger food getting trapped/cut was by a Tesla hater as click bait.... just one of the reasons why EV insurance is rising and ICE cars are following too...
Google the Arson attacks on Tesla`s in Germany.....
Great music, wonderful hips!!
Hell yeah
Hell yeah
The ford maverick is the antidote to the posion that is large, excessive trucks like this. Its like the anti-cybertruck.
That review is next!
Never has Musk said the car will have bullet proof windows
The Tesla CEO also reiterated on Tuesday that the Cybertruck will have bulletproof steel panels and there will even be an option for people to purchase bulletproof glass for the vehicle, though that variant will pose a major usability tradeoff.
"You can make anything bulletproof if you want, but the glass has to be very thick for be bulletproof, so it can't go up and down," Musk said, adding that the bulletproof windows will be immobile.
ca.news.yahoo.com/elon-musk-says-tesla-cybertruck-220238862.html
@@AlanisKing Did he, where did he say that? The Yahoo article references asides made in a Joe Rogan podcast. He said you could have bullet proof glass in any vehicle if you wanted but they would be so think they would be immobile. He also said in the CT you just have to duck i.e. what he did not say was that they would put bullet proof glass in. He never said we will put bullet proof glass in CT. The steel is bullet proof to small calibre low velocity rounds as a by product of the material used not as a deliberate design feature.
Put a sick wrap of your own design and swap those tires for bigger ones, and suddenly, you got the coolest vehicle on the road.
You might have to upgrade the suspension to fit bigger tires.
I will never buy one though, unless that kind of design becomes common place on our roads.
Why would you want windows so thick you can't roll them up or down
first to anounce, last to the tech revolution in suv's, some neat ideas and crazy styles bit aftrr rivians, ford etc, it doesn't have any significant features to own this space, the novelty will wear off.
It needed to come out first.
Bold concept though .
Very bold!
LOL! Love that break-the-window app! I can see the memes going wild. I do love the motor technology, but the body... really? Sharp edges? Rearview mirror is blocked? And it's not even paired with a rearview camera? Minimal safety standards? (Do like the bioweapon protection, though.) I suspect the newer trucks will be far, far better. Maybe I'll design a new body then submit it.
Just off of the minimal details about the owners, they sound like the type of couple who would walk up after filming and lightly suggest a swap
I only slept three hours late night (in Indianapolis for the race) but my brain is not computing the turn of phrase
A car swap or a wife swap? I could see either. (No shame in either, either.)
Yeah I'm lost too
The truck seems to be missing headlights, has bad rearview mirrors and a weird steering wheel with no control stalks so some aftermarket supplier should come out with upgraded replacements for all those things.
If I bought a cybertrunk I would get it wrapped.
Agree
the black wrap on the lower end is not working for you.
I saw one on the freeway north of Denver and it was gloss black ( assuming a wrap). I also saw one in Colorado springs with mountains silhouetted on the lower body between the wheels and a logo.
If I bought a Cybertruck I'd get myself wrapped - in a straight-jacket. But I'm sane enough not to buy one.
You wouldn’t be the first
People only buy these trucks for one reason: to flex.
Fair criticism!
Do a good job of showing what it looks like in person as it drives.
I really don't want a cybertruck running into a crowd of protestors.
To be fair, I don’t want any car doing that!
My guy are you good?
You could camp in the back of the cybertruck
Yeah, every pickup can do that.
"why didn't you get a Corolla"? ROFL!!!
I've seen four of them in opposite traffic now. I don't love it.
It's a very specific taste for sure
Dislike 👎 no Alanis trunk test!! Unbelievable can’t buy this refrigerator now! 😂
Hahahaha I did the truck bed test!
What happens when you leave the crayon box open in the engineering department.
Franz von Holzhausen is an American vehicle designer. Since 2008, he has been in charge of design at Tesla, Inc. He led design for the Tesla Model S, Model 3, Model X, Model Y, Semi, Cybertruck and Tesla Roadster. Prior to Tesla, he worked in design at Mazda, General Motors, and Volkswagen.
@@kylereese4822 The CT is still what it is. A mistake that will bring class actions.
My cat would look better relaxing on the hood of an LC-500.
True
100k for a clown car, amazing
On Google 4x4 bent chassis see how you feel... A major design flaw the the CT will never suffer from...
it looks like a Chevy Azteck mind you that was a Nightmare
I thought it was a joke back in the day and I still think it's a joke. Not my cup of tea )-; Good job granddaughter (-;
Thank you so much!
At those prices I’d want luxury not fun Easter eggs, those ‘fun’ things add nothing to the functionality. I want my truck to be a useable truck not a fashion statement. Rear wheel steering looks nice for negotiating tight spaces, and the drive by wire system seems interesting. They’re already rusting and depreciating in value. I’m not a collector nor can I keep it long enough for it to become an interesting investment for those collector type buyers since I have nowhere to store a car/cars for that many years…. I’ll pass.
And that's totally fair!
Oh boy, this should be good! Work can wait for 30 minutes...
THANK YOU
It's a sheet metal Chevy Avalanche.
The shape is growing on me. If it were 3' shorter (length), a foot lower and at least a foot narrower (preferably more) I would actually want one.
It gets attention!
I'm not a fan of the Cybertruck. I think its so ugly that it deserves to be on the desolate Martian landscape. If i had the dough i'd get a Hummer EV instead of the Cybertruck. You were being brutally honest in your review and that was awesome. By the way i drove an EV for the very first time about a month ago and tried one pedal driving with regenerative braking at its highest setting and it felt so weird during aggresive driving (i'd end up forgetting about the regen and instinctively start moving my foot toward the brake).
Some are way more aggressive than others! I also love the Hummer EV’s interior. It’s stunning
A lot of people are saying you can get cut from the metal on this car. They say there's panel gaps that are not flush also people are saying that that this truck is prone to rust because it's not an actual paint job
