CyberTrash
CyberCrap
I don't like the CyberTruck aesthetically, but I dig the the anti-DEI vibe it conveys. Well anything Musk is anti-DEI I guess, so yeah I do like it more now after seeing this little piece here. Thanks!
THERE WAS AN ACCIDENT ALREADY. ... IN CALIFORNIA. .. ABOUT 1 WEEK AGO...... CYBERTRUCK WAS UNHARMED. OTHER CAR , WELL IT WENT TO HOSPITAL
One correction. They changed the specs. The Cyber truck is up to 1.8mm thick.
I saw my first Cybertruck a few days ago, as it passed me on the freeway, near Grapevine, Texas. It had all the beauty and grace of a stainless steel trash dumpster.
Yep
I saw one about two weeks ago, that's the uglyiest truck I have ever saw.
It's a fleet/ service vehicle ? It does seem like a good payloader.
@@billyhill727 You'll be seeing a lot more as they have 2 million preorders.
It's called CyberTrash for a reason
The big advantage of stainless steel is that you need it for mounting a flux capacitor.
Nah, it just looks cool. Doc said as much.
It's the only reason why they do it. They are anticipating the upgrade to that flux capacitor
the big disadvantage of the cybertruck: it's ugly. not cool like the fluxi delorean
No way man . If you don't balance the foo-foo valves with the induction flange BEFORE you connect to the flux capacitor , you'll get cross-mojination . ........ Duh !
🤣😂🤣
3 ton battering ram where the accelerator can accidentally get stuck. What can go wrong?
Good ole dangerous Elon
Literally nothing because a tesla will stop on its own, the brake pedal cuts power, etc. Oh yeah the few trucks that happened literally did what it was supposed to proving how safe it is.
He brags how it's a tank and will take out anything it hits. Not good. All other makers design in crumple zone. To absorb crash energy. And less likely to kill pedestrians. Cyber urinals are going to kill people.
One thing Elon never thought of. Galvanic corrosion. When you attach stainless steel to aluminum you get that. I worked in a factory with stainless and aluminum parts. Where they touch it corroded, pits and turns to dust.
@@JohnHBatteno way you’re saying this thing is safe, heaps of people are guaranteed to get killed by this thing
Stainless steel looks great on a refrigerator door, until you get a dent in it. Then suddenly, it seems that all you see is that stupid dent.
I never dented a refrigerator ever
@@jjohnson8977 then you haven't lived
@@lapisredux ok that was funny
Yes dented steel looks so much better. Nothing like the looked of a dented steel hood or door ding.

Same with gas stations, gasoline doesn’t have an indefinite shelf life. In the Apocalypse it would probably be best to bike or use solar powered EV.
Which means you can't drive it without electricity.

If the apocalypse were to happen the roads would be congested and or destroyed. All vehicles get stuck off road eventually
Half the video has to do with stainless steel. NOWHERE does he mention why it's: THE 'DEADLIEST' VEHICLE EVER MADE. It's only @8:20 where he states they're dangerous and it's solely due to their weight.
@@tjmmcd1 Your comment has nothing to do with the OP.
Cool.
Stainless steel was invented in Sheffield England in 1913 by Harry Brearly. Developed further until about 1925 it was close to what is used today.
The stainless body is not good for cars because if you get in an accident, the stainless panels will not crumple, which is needed so the panels will remove some of the energy instead of you taking the brunt of the accident force. Also, the "jaws of life" can't cut through stainless metal, so the emergency crew would not be able to get you out of the car, and every second is important is you were bleeding.
One of many reasons the Euro Ncap would never pass this truck for sale. the sheer danger to pedestrians is a major one as well.
Think about it. If you die on the crash. You won't need Jaws of life or to be rescue out of the car.
That's what Tesla was aiming with this one
You're going at this all wrong. You have your own steel casket after purchasing the CyberTruck. That cost is rolled into the price of the truck already 😭🤣🤣
@@RomnysGonzalezand if you die you can’t sue them for ‘self driving’ crashing the car 😂
Death trap.
As someone who has worked with 304 sst in sheet metal for 20yrs,
Stainless steel is very tuff to work with.
It's dense, heavy and especially sharp compared to mild steel and Aluminium.
As someone that just watched the video above, I can confirm that stainless steel is indeed difficult to manipulate.
@@chrisss9991 As someone who likes to agree with RUclips comments, I agree!
As someone who reads comments i agree
As someone with a basic understanding of metallurgy. Can confirm
That's why the Cybertruck is pretty much all straight lines and straight bends, instead of stamped. I also think that special stainless steel he mentioned is 301 Stainless Steel instead of 304. It still is pretty similar to 304. I'm in the same boat as you, I've worked with 304, 316 and 416 stainless steel in our applications. I've worked for the company since 1996.
Only a man who boasts he knows more about manufacturing than anybody else alive could ignore all the times other manufacturers tried to build vehicles with stainless, then proceed to build a vehicle that cannot be sold in so much of the western world anyway.
The hubris is amazing.
"Anybody alive on the planet" mind you!
That's Elon for you. 80% hubris.
@@jasonashley9853agreed and 20% selfish bigotry
Im sitting in Pontiac Michigan right now and saw a chameleon painted Cybertruck over here at "The Loop" during the Woodward Dream Cruise last weekend. But I'm unsure if the thing can do a burnout or not.
I read a comment about the front bumper of the cybertruck essentially being a giant leaf spring because of how it is fitted. It is under constant load and if it were to "spring" loose it could cause catastrophic damage. Let alone the noted fact that the untrimmed edges are all like potential knives to cut off your apendages on the doors and bed.
I have heard that internal combustion engines are just one long controlled explosion. If something were to go wrong, the car would explode
@@richardgolonka7585 Well all forms of stored energy from TNT to a rubber band have potential for harm. Certainly we accept risk to achieve outcomes every moment of our day. However the stored energy generally serves a purpose to move matter. The bumper just existing is not stored energy with the intent of work load, it is that way due to one wing nuts specific design philosophy. I don't know that as a risk assessment for potential harm it works out.
Sort of the leading edges of the wings of an F-104.
@@ididthisonpulpous6526 The entire exoskeleton of the cybertruck is underload because its all loadbearing. Its take the place of a heavy frame on a standard truck.
@@richardgolonka7585 No it isn't. It's pretty much a unibody like the model Y. Even Sandy Munroe's engineer said that about it.
One thing you didn't mention about the truck is that it is going to take more energy to move it, whether it be electric or gas. The more weight, the harder the engine has to work, and more fuel is burned.
Also will eat tires like packman, already problem with ev, this tank will just annihilate tires.
Ha ha, Cybertruck has no engine or fuel to burn. Checkmate!
@@OnlyTwoShoes And electricity comes from magic rainbows right? Not at all from coal powerplants, or even diesel powerplants.
@@Dagoth666Ur whoosh
@@OnlyTwoShoes Yea i get the sarcasm but there are realy people out there that think that electricity just magically apears in socket so that`s why i wrote the comment.
My grandkids will be laughing at the cybertruck in museums someday.
The real embarrassment is that Tesla went along with it, and actually produced the things. It's one thing to let your CEO believe in unicorns, it's another thing to actually try to build and sell the unicorns to consumers. I'm just glad I didn't buy Tesla stock.
It would make even more sense to build a cyber truck out of carbon fiber due to the recent advances in shaping panels.
Yeah I have wondered why they didn't do that...would provide so many advantages.
But then how are you going to buy stock in the companies using slave labor to get materials for batteries, as well as the companies producing the batteries, and then sell a LOT of fkn batteries..?
Ya you go do that genius
Ha Ha carbon fiber can be recycled coal ash waste activated carbon, yes that's your water filters.
@@afrog2666true, people for some reason don’t know about the slave camps that are funded by Tesla
I just want my 2012 mazda 3 to last forever. I hope I never have to buy a car again
It just might. I started with a 1979 RX-7 and now drive a 2014 Mazda 6, before that a 2005 Mazda 3. In all, about 500k miles and my only forced maintenance was a failed A/C compressor on the 3. Very reliable cars. Do proper, regular maintenance and it should last you quite a while.
I fully expect that by the time I get my CT it will be the last vehicle I need to buy. Stainless and aluminum will not rust, the battery will last a million miles or more (I won't need to drive that many more miles in my lifetime) and when I'm too old to drive myself around, it will chauffeur me around wherever I need to go. In the meantime, it might help me make money with energy arbitrage in my home battery. Charge it from panels on my roof for free for as long as I need to except when I take a road trip? Yup, gonna pay for itself over time and last me until I die. I can justify $80k for a truck that lasts me from 50 until I die. Hell, I can justify more than that. Unfortunately, I don't expect to see it for another few years. With luck, the price will have come down by then, as it invariably will.
@@DanielWillis-q2gIf you're serious about keeping the CT until you die then be prepared to spend another 80k or more on repairs. Computer chips and long life do not mix.
I expect my 2015 Mazfa3 will make 300,000 miles.
I've got a 2015 Subaru Forester, and I'm planning on driving that forever cause it is getting pretty hard to get a new car with a standard transmission.
I hope this truck never hits a person in an accident
It's already happened. A cybertruck got into an accident with another car, and that car was _TOATALED!!_ Funnily enough though, the driver of the totaled car came out fine, whereas the cybertruck driver suffered minor injuries. That's the magic of crumple zones.
Once these things are out in big numbers, reports are going to pile up very quickly. Its not going to be good for sales. People are definitely going to be killed by these things in situations which could have not been deadly with other vehicles.
@@Mario-ob8es Yeah, I think the pedal stuck issue makes it even scarier
I agree. I hope it is not going to be legal in Europe.
@@leiflarsson9637 Europeans have brains and wouldn't pass this gimmicky truck through their standards
The Cybertruck is the ugliest vehicle I have ever seen.
It really is. It's amazingly fugly.
And yet if you saw it on the road you would be taking pictures just like everyone els 😂
@@TristanHutchison They are even worse in real life than they are in photos.
@@ThomasKing19933 ahhh right just don’t buy one. Future is coming mane like it or not 😂 see how much cars have changed over the years?
@@TristanHutchisonIf you like the Cybertruck, that's fine. I don't have to like it🤷♂️
That's why there are no compound curves in the stainless steel parts of the truck. While the added strength and mass will make the trucks safer, the lack of deformation in an accident will transfer the energy to the interior and occupants. It will be interesting to see how it does in the insurance institute crash safety tests.
Elon is smiling, while the rest of us are laughing.
It will also transfer the energy into the other vehicle involved in the crash resulting in massive lawsuits
there will be lots of minced meat
Just watch the interviews with the Cybertruck team leaders on Munro Live. The Cybertruck is designed with crumple zones just like any other vehicle.
These guys are part of the same company that rung the bell at the tippy top of the safety charts in Europe with Model S and Model 3. They know how to make a vehicle safe for occupants and pedestrians.
It is really disingenuous for Scotty to compare the Cybertruck to a European hatchback. Compare it to a Chevy Silverado and see which one is safer for pedestrians.
It`s already not allowed to be sold in the UK, it doesn`t get anywhere near passing safety testing.
I saw my first cyber truck parked in a parking lot a few days ago. I thought how ugly it was and honestly I thought it was home built, like a school project or something 😂
It looks stupid, it really does. 😅
Some people like it and others don't. I guess the 2 million pre-orders were from those that like it.
Thats why the Rivian & especially the F150 Lightning EV trucks are the best in the world. Facts. 💯
@@OptionMiner001 Rivian & F150 Lightning will sell 100× as many as Cyber truck . Both are excellent.
@@OptionMiner001 Rivian & F150 Lightning especially are 100× better & will outsell Cyber truck. 💯
Aside from the stainless steel issue... I for one believe the Cyber truck replaces the Pontiac Aztec for the ugliest vehicle ever made... they even kind of look similar.
Huh? Are you kidding me? That Aztec was a work of art and the most beautiful vehicles since the AMC Gremlin....and the Ford Aerostar...the most aerodynamic vehicles in auto history (owned two).
But the Aztek looked cool in Breaking Bad.
@@rancosteelso get one. Find the Pontiac Aztec and buy it...
@@rancosteel it only looked cool because of breaking bad.
if the cybertruck was used in any movie, it would go from controversial to "i want that movie car" so quickly. it already has that appeal for many people. they need to get the cybertruck into some movie action scenes and everyone who thought it looked ugly would think it looks cool.
remember, design is subjective. if you look at a vehicle and associate its design to other cars and comparing it as such makes it look weird, you're gonna think it looks ugly. but if you make the image of the vehicle show up in a awesome movie, your favorability will significantly increase towards it because you associate that car with that movie, and that ethos of the movie will rub off onto people who saw and liked the movie and associate the car with that experience.
@@BeAsOpinionatedAsOpenMinded The Aztec ended up being a costly flop and popularly considered ugly. You're just in the minority.
There is a RUclips video of some guys peeling and slicing raw carrots with Musk's mess of a stainless steel middle school project. It is priceless.
After seeing that I tried it with the motorized rear hatch of my Ford Escape, it makes a mess of a carrot too, but not my finger.
This may come as a shock to you, but carrots are not good analogues for fingers...
@@markbeiser Well Mark, did I say carrots are comparable to fingers? That you were able to replicate the carrot test with your Ford Escape (that says much) is irrelevant to the fact Musk Cyber Truck is analogue to a middle school project.
@@jerrylundegaard2592 Yes, because middle schoolers are well known for developing new manufacturing processes and technology integrations from first principles as part of their class projects.🙄
I think it is funny how polarizing the design styling is, especially the silly comments by the haters.🤣
@@markbeiser Clearly, Mark, sarcasm is beyond your wheel house.
That let me thinking about adding a camping burner to the hood and we could use it for our steak in addition to the carrot salad .
In an apocalypse the power grid will be one of the first thing's to fail so as a bug out vehicle it's utterly useless.
Not to mention if a nuclear apocalypse happens and your lucky enough (or unlucky) an emp will fry the starters in pretty much all electronic start vehicles so unless you’re really good working on cars and have proper non battery powered tools you’re screwed.
If a nuclear apocalypse does happen , you go off grid anyway, and so much for getting in or out of your legomobile looking thing. Hey ,"the thing". OH yeah that name is taken.

I love your post.
You forgot to mention that IF the batteries are compromised, they may experience an explosion and thermal runaway….which burns up to 5000 degrees farenheit…totally destroys the vehicle …stainless steel body and all.

@@babywah3290 😜 I’ve heard them called “rolling crematoriums”….not me coining that phrase … every time I see an EV, I think of thst comment
The prototype Cybertruck body panels were 3 mm thick, but the production models' are 1.8 mm thick for the doors and the other panels are 1.4 mm thick. The Ford stainless cars were produced at the end of the model runs since stamping the stainless panels would damage the presses after just a few stampings. The Delorean had a fiberglass body with bolted on stainless panels. The panels were very thin gauge stainless.
even 1mm is thick is not bad
So not bulletproof, then!
@@OneTequilaTwoTequila Um NO.
We are Not europe...no foreign gibberish thickness #'s !
@@petersipp5247 4mm is just under 0.16 eagle screeches.
As far as the thickness of the stainless steel on the Cybertruck, the door panels are 1.8 mm, the body panels are 1.3 mm, not 3 mm thick. As a pedestrian, or cyclist pretty much any fast moving vehicle is likely to kill you or make you wish it had.
true.
I need to know as a genuine question if the glass is bullet proof how do you get out Incase of power failure with locks or if the car is sinking in water
The cars have a Manual override. If you own a car you should read the manual
I'm surprised you didn't mention that lithium battery fires are very hot and hard to extinguish and the windows are difficult to break. EMTs need to be able to break windows. Some people are going to burn to death or drown in one of these when they could have lived.
Electric Vehicles with batteries catch fire far less often than gas powered vehicles. Research that
Generally, pickup trucks are designed to sell the macho image, have unneeded massive grills and their hood height swallows small cars and pedestrians right in front of the truck, making them essentially invisible to the driver.
The cybertruck follows the trend of "I do not give a rats a** about OTHER road users. You want to be safe? Drive a bigger pickup truck!"
It is a short-sighted attitude that kills hundreds of people unnecessarily every single year.
The cybertruck is merely accelerating the arms race on the road.
But don’t forget the other part: it’s a tank to prevent city people from breaking into the truck to steal from inside the truck.
Trucks can be cool though, look at the new Hummer EV. It has some sense to its design and has safety features just like the other cars on road

Think it was Jay Leno's show, the designer said 50% of people won't like one to which he indicated Tesla is Ok with that. Aside from ownership, the insurance and repair costs should ensure it remains only a niche market. Be amazed if it ever reaches 250k annual production volume.
lol , it will be a slow ramp but it will become the best selling truck in about 2027 ish
Prepare to be amazed in a year or two then.
It will never be mass produced, it's a marketing gimmick.

@scanspeak00 You sound like Steve Balmer talking about the iPhone…
The Cybertruck reminds me of the vehicle from a 70's sci-fi, Saturday morning show called Ark II.

I’m sorry I can’t afford such an expensive car. My cars are between 125€ and maximum 6,250€ and I drove over 2,000,000 kilometres till pension.😊
Then take consolation that you're much better for the environment than any Tesla owner.
The environmental damage of manufacturing costs of planned obsolescence are far worse than the environmental impact of cars.
Plus EVs aren't noticeably better for the environment than combustion anyway, i'm not saying EVs are definitely bad, but they're definitely not a significant improvement, if anything.
I just can't drive a car with less then 3 pedals!
No one is asking you to buy a Tesla truck.
Work with stainless steep every day for 20yrs. It's king
8:33 An electric vehicle would be the WORST vehicle to have in an apocalypse situation, as soon as the power grid goes down, you have a dead truck. (Sure you could tow a diesel generator, but i severely doubt that would be ideal in any circumstance).
If you have solar panels on the roof it is the best. Remember gas pumps require electricity too.
@@dbpookIt would take a lot of solar panels to charge it up like a super charger. Gas can be hand pumped or used out of a container. More than the entire surface area of the car multiple times over.
Now there are multiple owners saying they have seen rust on body panels of their Cybertrucks. Apparently the grade of steel is not the same as household appliances, but something lower. There are videos on YT showing the rust.
Most stainless steel I have seen on "big box" store brands of home appliances is pretty thin and low quality. It is not Sub Zero, Wolf, Miele, quality. Usually they just paste a panel on the front, up the cost and call it a day. Open the dishwasher and it is cheap plastic rather than stainless steel. You don't see many refrigerators with stainless steel interiors either.
Which destroys the whole point of using stainless steel
@@martinvickers7349 I always tell people about the "less" in stainless steel. Less corrosion not stain proof.
@@kennixox262 Yea a lot of folks misunderstand that aspect. That being said, it happening on brand-new vehicles is pretty wild.

Stainless steel electrical control panels are supplied with a peel-off plastic film on the outside to protect them from scratches and fingerprints. Unlike a painted car, you can't just repair a minor dent by filling it, rubbing it down to blend in then touch it up to match the existing colour.
You will carry your dent like a badge of honor.

Issue is that in actual vehicle shootings, bullets are generally aimed at the glass and not the doors.
Too bad surplus chinese made tandem warhead RPGs will be common in the near future.
In my opinion, a car is supposed to crumble to absorb the impact from a collision. If the Cyber Truck isn't taking the impact, then the passengers are.
Besides, who is going to run the power during an apocalypse? An efficient solar panel on the body could solve that.
It's hilarious that you are pointing out how dangerous a Cybertruck is going to be in an accident when we have lifted truck and jeeps driving around with 1/8th in thick plate steel battering rams on the front of their vehicles. You cannot seriously think that the Cybertruck's SS is anywhere near as dangerous as an off-road bumper with a winch mount
EXACTLY 💯... It's a bunch of parroted, hypocritical, idiotic rambling. EVERY vehicle on the road is dangerous in some way or another.
How much more weight does this truck weigh vs a lifted truck with plate steel battering arms ? The answer is thousands of pounds more. About 3 thousand pounds more. It’s about twice as much as an average car.

Elon Musk was never a genius. He was born into a rich South African emerald mining family and likes to pretend he's self-made when he's just a trust fund baby with good PR. Hope his business all fail and he becomes destitute and a washed-up celebrity.

for the cybertruck it´s literally impossible, to get through german and most european saftey standards...
it´s made to do as much damage as possible to whatever it collides with.... (at least guessed by the ridiculous shape)
And it would require a C1 drivers license (small truck) due to its weight, which I reckon +90% of drivers in Europe do not have. But it would receive 0 stars from Euro NCAP making it unsellable in itself.
Great video! I think they made the Cybertruck primarily for the publicity. Even if it won't be super successful, it continues the legendary and "cutting edge" (pun intended) image of Tesla.
So my question is we know EV's burn and from what we've been told from other EV fires once that starts you can't open the windows or doors, so what happens when your bullet proof Cyber truck burns and you can't get out or break the window???
Cybertruck, like all teslas, is made with safety first engineering. They all have a manual release to open the door. You might want to check what kind of cars are least likely to catch fire.
@@louren1951There is an interesting question concerning serious crashes when Jaws of Life and other techniques to rescue trapped passengers won’t work. That’s a totally different matter vs the other Tesla vehicles.
@@louren1951this Tesla is made so safe that it is illegal to operate on a public road. Thanks Tesla for thinking about safety

Me too!
One other aspect is the freeway guardrails are not designed for low centered heavy weights
Curious as to insurance costs.
Probably as high as some DeLorean drivers.
I bet through Tesla insurance it'll be reasonable to great.

In New Jersey it would easily be 5K p/year.
Not only deadly to pedestrians, the lack of crumple zones will likely (and sadly) prove deadly to the cybertruck's occupants too. Instead of the force of a collision being dissipated through crumple zones/absorbed by the vehicle, it will be transferred to the people inside.
Scotty great video, me and my wife see quite a few Cyber Trucks where we live in Central New Jersey. The truck is so ugly it looks good. I'm very curious about it which is why I'm on your site. They way you have broken this down is informative and useful. I didn't know the truck was made out of stainless steel and that it's a tank that could kill people. Thank you for this great info on the history of stainless steel in car manufacturing.
Elon Musk: My cyber truck is so cool, it looks just like low-poly vehicle models from 90's video games!
Reality: Yes they even glitch the same way as the physics engines of that era!
It looks like the prop truck from the Tupac video, California Love. Or it reminds me of the movie Thunderdome.
During the cybertruck unveiling, i was eagerly awaiting their removing the plywood panels to reveal its true form...
Everyone who has ever tried to fasten a stainless steel bolt dry kmows its a nightmare to work with
Also factor in that Tesla owners are gonna buy them, scary! 😂🏁
That is better than the Tesla haters, who's elevators don't go all the way to the top.
Cybertruck is actually lighter than the competitor Rivian R1T electric pickup truck which also happens to be smaller than the Cybertruck.
the hummer ev weighs 2000lbs more than the Cybertruck.
I remember there being something about the Rivian being extremely expensive to repair. There was someone who got a damaged back fender and the repair was said to cost a lot. Don't remember the details, but effectively the repair involved replacing a very large part, a about 20% of the skin. Some one managed to cut out the damaged part and weld in a replacement. Some paint and it was as new, and a lot cheaper than the official quote from Rivian. Now if it had been stainless things would not be as "simple". Experts can do a fantastic welding of stainless, I've seen it. But it takes a lot more than being comfortable with a TIG to make it invisible on a plain steel surface. Actually I'm not sure it's possible. Swapping the whole panel would be the only option and quite expensive.
Imagine trying to change a tyre on cyber truck with a jack, I'm sure you would need a specific kind to even lift that truck up. Not to mention the fact that it doesn't carry a spare tire (from what i have read). It really is a truck for techbros and asphalt princesses. No one is gonna buy it for any functional use, the only people would buy it are tesla fan boys or morons with lots of money
This is the greatest innovation in automotive history since the Edsel and it may break their sales records, too 😂
The Edsel was much better looking than this ugly Cybertruck.
@@franknew9001 True. Also, it was only in production for 26 months, with 110,000 total sales. Only time will tell if the Cyber**ck will surpass either of those records. If it does, then P.T. Barnum was correct.
Just like the delorean and many other silly cars became a collectors item, the cyber truck will also become one.
The DeLorean wasn't the most reserved vehicle in history.
Good luck replacing the batteries in a couple of decades or so 😂
@@mrfish9876 How often does your diesel reach a million miles? There are some. But most vehicles die between 250 and 500k miles. A million mile battery won't need to be replaced this decade, or the next. Battery packs have been cycled successfully to 20 million mile equivalent charge discharge cycles with no issues. Replacing your battery won't be a thing. The reason we don't have battery recycling plants all over the place to deal with all these dead batteries, is that there aren't all these dead batteries. They are lasting much longer than we anticipated. They will die. But they'll be fully recycled. High grade battery material ore. Much cheaper than refining base materials. This whole transition is an economic inevitability at this point, even if all these subsidies were turned off.
@@DanielWillis-q2g
You smoke some whack crack. If this million mile technology exists - where is it?
He needs to make a cyber truck option with regular vehicle panels.
Next video, why mega castings are an insurance nightmare…
Toyota Hilux Champ is 7 times cheaper looks better more practical better quality & more useful
I can thank Tesla for answering the question no one asked of what a Gen 2 Pontiac Aztecamino would have looked like.
Ideal post apocalyptic vehicle huh? It'll run during a huge EMP, like my fully mechanical pump Diesel?
Bro thinks he could find gas or diesel in apocalypse💀. Gl 💀👍
too bad your diesel truck still has an ECU and that won't run after an EMP either.
@@CGGC0202 Get an education. Either in learning how to read, or understanding what a FULLY MECHANICAL pump Diesel is.
As for finding fuel for the beast. Plenty on hand, and being an old school mechanical pump, will run on just about anything liquid that burns.
@@Grumpy-sy7wrYou know fuel goes bad quite quickly right? After 4-5 years there will be nothing useable left. And mining and refining oil is a very technical, very expensive process. But, getting solar panels to hydro power to charge a car, that’s much more reasonable.
@@scubasausage The thing runs quite happily on used cooking oil. It's not a fancy shmancy high tech new vehicle. 10 year old diesel fuel will run it fine. And those computers on wheels are going to magically come back to life after being fried?
I've been in a collision where the driver side door deformed and was difficult to open, but I could still force it open by bending the sheet metal of the door. I'd like to see someone try this with 3mm thick stainless steel, with the added risk that if the battery is compromised you literally have a few seconds to exit the vehicle.
Someone posted that the 3mm steel was a show car thing. Those manufactured have panels that are about half the thickness, so 1.4mm, The panel in the doors were apparently slightly thinner, so perhaps 1.2mm.
And iirc, if there is no power to the vehicle, the doors don't open. Have fun in a battery fire.
Gas explodes. If you are in an accident, god help you, regardless of vehicle.
tesla should litterally just get the rights to the delorean and make that a tesla. it would be so sweet. with the same exact body/ doors
But a different kind of door, because those swinging up doors would be a nightmare in parallel parking.
Thanks, Scotty - very interesting video. What it doesn't have in your usual he-haw, it makes up for in interest.
I miss stainless steel body trim.
Can you comment on cyber truck rust problem
I'd like to know how to charge an EV post apocolypse. Solar charging would take weeks. Great idea; 100-200 miles of driving 1 or 2 days a month...if you can take your solar charger with you.
No, no. They prefer to keep it in secret how they're gonna cover you, and that secret technology is just for that special occasion.
I'd like to know how most will get their gad from the middle east in an apocalypse...
Petrol will always be a leash on society... until an apocalypse, then you get squat.
Electricity has many ways to create.
@@frank254100 Fair question but combustion cars can be converted to burn many fuels other than gas. Only reason it's not more common is because of energy density & why burn off more carbon for less power.
@@GWAForUTBE I wasn't bashing solar power. Solar power is awesome. Huge battery EVs on the other hand are mostly an energy burner that would take ridiculous amounts of time & energy to charge. They already take too long to charge, and that's with an electric infrastructure. It would be different if we were discussing something much more efficient, like an electric KEI car. With a small battery and greater efficiency a trickle charge from solar panels might work the treat.
I love the clause that an owner can be sued if they sell it
That's a Tesla bluff, that'd be thrown out in an instant in court under first sale doctrine.
It's limited to one year to prevent flipping
I suppose that apocalypse elon musk is referring to won't impact the power grid or any chargers
And now the foot pedals can get stuck at full throttle and all of them are being recalled!
ford just recalled 50,000 trucks. No one seems to care
@@richardgolonka7585 people who own the cars in the stockholder certainly do.
@@GeekFilter there is no internet outrage. At this point, I pretty much assume that any tesla related outrage on the internet is manufactured my legacy auto and/or oil and gas. They are about to be swallowed. Tesla innovated not cars, but distribution and manufacturing first. and now without that, they can't catch up.
If the gas pedal sticks on a normal car, just shut the ignition. Also Underwood fires on a normal car can be extinguished with a common household fire extinguisher 🧯.
Such monstrous vehicles should not be street legal, safety wise.
They passed the same safety tests as other trucks on the road, in fact they were safer than most. The fear mongering about the cybertrucks safety has no basis in fact.
@@scubasausage Well in Germany experts give it no chance to come through any serious safety-test. Quote :" Even airbags won't help." Also you would need a trucking licence to drive it since it's double the weight of most other cars. Then its an EV... originally sold as a environmentally responsible option.If you want a 3ton, 610HP vehicle...just go for gasoline, no need to pretend at that point.
'Pends mostly on who's driving em'...
@@simonsn4996 What is a trucking license? I have never heard of that. I guess all the trucks out there, being driven by people with a regular old fashioned drivers license, that are a lot bigger and heavier than a Tesla, are driving illegally. When the Tesla gets much heavier, and gets air brakes, get back to me.
@@robshell5367 In Germany we have different types of licences. If its over 3.5t you need a special licence. And some of the new american cars are really close to hitting that mark, where youre not allowed to drive them in Germany with a regular licence which will most likely affect sales. Also moving 3+ tons to move 80kg of human is kind of a waste :D update the EU will get a little higher weight limit next month, which i think is really bad. Dont wanna share the road with cars that can just drive through my car if they dont see a congestion in time.
Putting a finger on the trunk: PUNCTURE
Window: 💀
Okay now i agree💀
I remember the stainless Fords at the Minnesota State Fair years ago. Dad explained the drawbacks to me. They looked nice, though. Maybe we need a campy movie that features a Cybertruck. Meanwhile, Flash Gordon called. He wants his truck back.
What did he say the drawbacks were?
The DeLorean used a low grade of stainless steel. I feel better, with my wife in a Cybertruck, than a Rav4... And we have a new Rav4. We're STILL waiting on our dual engine CT, w/ FSD, and SOLAR recharging. Perfect for going camping, or living in the wild for an extended period.
Correction in order, not 3mm thick, that was the plan. It fell through. 1.8 mm at the thickest, most is 1.4 mm.
I did not fall through, they were able to make it thinner and lighter while still keeping the hardness.
@@robarjayglass is hard...especially when the window rolls down a little. Durable might be the goal, here.
Don't let facts get in the way of a good story
I made the same comment, it's a very important distinction
3mm stainless would make it INSANELY heavy. That was a really stupid suggestion from the start. Up to 1mm stainless is still super tough, easier to process and will deform in a collision to absorb impact as referenced in the video. The savings of not needing paint or corrosion protection treatment are significant. Metal fatigue may well become a future problem though.
the rigidity of the ss in the hood/front compartment means that in any time of at-speed front collision, the passengers will be at a higher risk for significant head injury. the whole point of 'crumple zones' is to absorb as much of the impact into the vehicle body & dissipate the force before it reaches passengers; if the front doesn't crumple sufficiently, then more force is transferred thru to passengers.
When was human safety a concern to Melon? All he cares about is his product success and stock market. He will try to convince you in advance that if you don't own Tesla in 3 years, you are crazy and make ridiculous statements to make the stock values artificially shoot up.
It was a cool idea, but I think it should go into the museum as soon as possible and stay there.
There's a reason it's shaped like a coffin..
The original point of the stainless steel was to support a minimalist exobody construction that would lower production costs. In the end, they didn't get it - it ended up being a (mostly) unibody design anyway.
No, the original idea behind using SS was to be edgy and make a statement. Anyone who has worked with any production will tell you that painted mild steel is way cheaper..
This is pure Musk - form before function.
@@cccmmm1234 No, the stainless steel was actually chosen after the 'car' was 'designed'. (I still believe this was just a prank)
@@beernutsonline with Musk everything is done for image. Nothing is done for solid engineering reasons.
Not "minimalist" but "brutalist."
Within 5 years I have a feeling most of the electric car industry will crumble- especially Tesla!
Dear Scotty,
Thank you for talking about the safety hazards of this car. As a bike rider & pedestrian (normal human) I don't feel safe in Ohio. It's already so dangerous to travel. The cyber car just makes it worse.

Engineering decisions should be made by engineers not by, 'cool, genius entrepreneurs'.
The base model is. Is 61,000? One thing about Tesla. They can never keep to their reveal price points. What happened to 39,999?
The Deloreon was built in belfast in Northern Ireland, it was a brand new factory and had to train staff up from scratch, this had an issue on production before the deloreon company went bankrupt.
It's a lesson in what happens when politicians are allowed near business/manufacturing/sector strategies etc.
~ waste/suffering/disaster.
They are beginning to rust.
Tesla’s “truck” design aesthetic is more unappealing than a crashed Pacer or Gremlin dragged to the junkyard.
cute that he goes over all the specs except the foward collision avoidance system
Well time will tell, but this thing is a 6800lb ferrari that anyone with a class C can legally drive. I'm glad they have some sort of front collision avoidance as that's pretty available today, but the best system can't overcome a dumb driver, and when the dumb get behind the wheel of a cybertruck- look out.
Imagine young kids driving them. And the drunks....@@Berzerklight
@@Berzerklight "he best system can't overcome a dumb driver" or just plane dumb luck.
Cybertruck steelplate is 1.8mm and 1.4mm thick. 3mm was the starting point. They managed to reduce it.
If I wanted an apocalyptic vehicle, I'd throw a fully mechanical Kubota turbo diesel into it. Guys have been using them in Jeeps for years. You can make your own fuel, get 40 mpg and go pretty much anywhere.
The lawsuits are going to be staggering.
