Please do a video of Colton's first washing of this vehicle. How he gets all those bugs off is going to be most interesting and something all future Cyber Truck owners should see.
Kyle should have Alyssa do a bikini car wash of the Cybertruck
😂@@Christoph-sd3zi
Call it Colton Debugs a New CyberTruck …
Just use an angle grinder. Should be fine
The rear view mirror should be a display that shows the rear camera when the cover is down and reverts back to a standard mirror when up.
Samsung got the contract to make the rear view mirror display, but Tesla cancelled it because "there is already a big screen"
@@Only1_Rudeboy Yea, I think they have really stripped the CT to its bones from what it could/should have been. That had that nice instrament cluster like the S/X and then the telescoping tailgate, 500 mile range. The body is its one redeeming quality. I may pick one up when they drop into the 60's in a few years.I just can't justify todays cost for what it is.
Exactly
We have these for a different car and good quality , but tthe usual mirror function is then only working in 1 mode only, you do not have the possibility to flip the angle during evening and night, when the headlights of the cars are blinding you.
The usual dual purpose of display (in our case we use the mirror as a display for the front camera) and mirror is working great, but the night position is missing. Have not seen one that offers both. Therefore those are only sold as aftermarket solutions at least here.
Bought in 2023 so we got the most recent tech and not something outdated.
@@crimsondecade7420 What about the drive by wire steering ? The rear wheels turning for better turning radius... ?? The Model X comfort...?? And so many other things ? Sorry, totally disagree with you !
It’s pretty bad when it’s a big deal that the doors open well. I mean, the door handles on my ‘59 Beetle worked really well…🤷♂️
That‘s true.
How was your heater?
should not a car that you pay like 60-70k to buy have a door that open well lol why he have to even mention it
It's like saying my car's wheels turn good and it's amazing! like that xD
I appreciate that Kyle understands vehicle dynamics. This is an advantage that is lost with so many other influencers. He should exploit more of this angle.
I could not agree more. I’m tired of computer dorks focusing a disproportionate amount of time to touch screens in cars versus how the car drives.
SLAYER - METAL GRAMMYS PERFORMANCE ruclips.net/video/wGaqsYTlO4Y/видео.html
Remember Air it Treated like a Fluid it's why a Blunt Head is often more efficient than a Point think ICBM or Bullet. BTW the Cybertruck has a pretty flat area until the bonnet which is a waste they could make it a foot or two longer and shape lower part too slop up the front too be more Aerodynamic, Also I hate the Sloped Bed Sides sure it looks nice but makes it so much harder too side load via heavy Machinery as well as just Reach over and grab stuff out without having to walk around to the back and reach in for what's meant too be a Work Vehicle is Ludicrous!
The Cybertruck ended up costing more than Promised was Late and Features Promised are missing or lacking!
I like some of the tech like the 800 to 1,200V Technology which means less Wiring and Faster Charging!
yeah the ct is sit all around
If you are going to name it Chomper, you should get a shark mouth wrap like the A10 jets have
Yes!
alyssa lowkey hates it 😂
You should see the delivery video. She hated it but low-key loves it now just won't admit it
Oh I know 😂
"social battery" haha that's the perfect way to explain the rock star attention you'll be getting driving this around.
I had the same experience of having to spend 30+ minutes talking to everyone every time I stopped in a Model S back in 2013.
Yep, and in 2017 when I opened the FWDs on my Model X, folks would run over in amazement. I miss it now.
@@OurTeslaModelXJourneyNow people think U R a moron for paying so much for a shit car.
Same here, but 2014. Where I was living, I was the only Tesla around. I felt like a celebrity
@@lemongavine Now you’re just another douchey beta
My Rivian was the same for the first year as well. Still happens once in a while, but we're down to maybe once a quarter now.
Thanks for the tour, very interesting and a good job covering the plus and minuses. It's a start, but bad headlights is a no go for me. It's not just night, but stormy weather during the day....
Your enthusiasm for a vehicle always shows through your content.
Always value Out of specs reviews and thoughts because of how many tests and real driving they do with so many vehicles.
One of the few reviews of this I’m interested in seeing. Thanks for all the great work on these reviews!
Great review, love the truck and the info, thanks.
Do you give T feedback about improvement eg the phone charge.
Kyle, did you try closing the CT frunk two ways - with a quick touch of the button, - and then closing it with a longer holding down of the button? Our Tesla rep showed us that it’s like the Model X FWD. Both the CT and the X will come down forcefully with a long button press, like the X needs to do if the wind is strong. The rep shut the frunk with a short button push, then quickly put his hand in the gap - and the frunk lid touched his hand without hurting it. Should have gotten a video.
I really appreciate your super long video formats. I really do enjoy hearing your thoughts and expiriences, and you're really skilled at not being boring, and just going straight to the information-rich main points and details.
Mileage at 80-85 mph isn’t exactly typical driving to test range claims. Any vehicle with that kind of frontal area is going to have massive drag at those speeds. As for how the stainless steel lasts in the weather, it’s not like there aren’t a ton of sst tanks trucks on the road (milk, propane etc) or tanks at industrial/chemical plants. They don’t worry about bugs.
It is if you drive on highways in parts of the US
Mileage has always been calculated as a mix of city / highway driving, averaging at ~55 mph, even for gas cars. Acting like Tesla is lying for using the same standard is silly. Every car should have to list both a mixed + highway (75mph) rating
Don’t know where you live, but that’s cruising speed on most interstates in the western US.
Higher speeds reduce range for any vehicle. It would make a lot of sense for the EPA to give EVs a city / highway range vs the current single mixed range, but for now it's pretty simple, on Highway trips you'll generally get about 2/3 the predicted range. You'll recharge more often probably at about 40-50% of the range. So a 300 mile range EV will have 200 miles of highway range and you'll generally recharge every 120-150 miles. z
On the other hand if you make videos for a living the "OMG my EV is not getting its predicted range!" is viral gold.
@@JK-mo2ov That's the exception, not the rule.
I like your honest reviews. I see something that looks like a problem, when looking at the front of the vehicle there’s what looks like a wide gap on the drivers side “Frunk” lid?
I kept waiting for an explanation of that
What tires do you have on your Rivian and do you plan to put the same on your cybertruck?
Heat from wireless charging is also caused when the charging coils don't line up perfectly. In my model y, i notice a lot less heat when placing the phone upside down. Did you try that?
I have a 2018 Model 3, and the camera I constantly have trouble with in salt season is the rear one. A washer for it would be a great upgrade.
Simple thing to try that I’ve done for years add rain x to the camera lense or even a good ceramic or spray wax helps a ton with build up
Yeah same.
I like your real world reviews. Since this is a new vehicle, Tesla should have you at the factory to go over the issues before they become a problem.
I appreciate that Kyle understands vehicle dynamics
On long drives, how does it compare to your plaid S? I want as a comfortable daily commuter ,150-200 miles p/day, that I can also lug stuff around for yard and home improvement.
Allyssa is right. I’d definitely give you a thumbs up and I appreciate the tech. Zero chance I’d buy or drive one.
Kyle, I am pretty sure the Cyber truck does not have autopilot because they have to adapt the software for the steering. As you know the steering if far different in the Cyberruck than any other Tesla.
This seems hard to believe but is an important point you are making if true.
@@gurupurkha Why is it hard for you to believe?
Yeah, you just made me realize he didn’t mention four wheel steering in the whole review - sup with that??
Could also be camera positions. If the cameras are in different places or at different heights, which I would have to assume they are given the different form factor, that will most likely require software changes to support.
@@Skotty64081I agree.
Can you (or would you want to) do a swirly finish first and then wrap it clear? I mean those fine sanding marks you get on some stainless steel products applied with a circular sander, not random orbital. I think it would look cool and even more like a road-fridge!
Did they add a second motor to the Rivian tonneau?
Take a shot of tequila every time the Rivian chrips in this video (paak shenanigans) 👍
Novel idea: if your rear camera is dirty, clean it.
I just wipe my rear camera with my thumb whenever I open the boot.
Great video and information on this amazing truck!
Good and honest review as usual Kyle.
I can imagine a 6 year old drawing a truck in the future and some Tesla designer was like "that's it".
Oh come on, give them credit - it could have been designed by an 8-year-old! :)
i think it was literally one of Elon's dumb kids
I can't stand tesla fan boys and I can't stand tesla haters. This was a very balanced review imo. Subscribed.
What tires do you have on your R1T currently?
Would you please review the eco flow EV . Charging the CT and model Y LR. Is it worth the 2k cost?
Only person I trust with a honest review, I knew the placement of those headlights would be an issue. Great review 👍🏾
1st thing I said when I saw it.
My old dodge dakota had the spare tire chained under the bed of the truck, that rusted out and I ended up throwing it into the bed anyway.
Same with my F250.
How about the accessory light bar for more driving visibility?
Does the registration show it as a commercial vehicle? I own a Chevy Silverado 2500HD and mine is registered as commercial because of the weight.
Kyle is the most dialed in guy on the internet
Lots of dialing in going on here.
SLAYER - METAL GRAMMYS PERFORMANCE ruclips.net/video/wGaqsYTlO4Y/видео.html
Colton is going to need a lot more wash mitts to do the one bucket wash method on this thing.
Only used 6 😎
And some 0000 steel wool
Kyle, of note, the Lightning's Mobile Power Cord is limited to 30A so if you use the included 10-30R to 14-50 adapter and the MPC from the Lightning, you can charge another vehicle up to 7.2kW
Fantastic work. I have CT Foundation on order but I also torn and wondering about the R1T. My concern is in 6mos the refreshed R1T will come out addressing your previous listed concerns and it will have heat pumps. Would you get an R1T now or wait? Clearly they need sales now but I think in a way the refresh will be better for them bc they may reduce R1 production costs and for the quad motor switch to 4 enduro motors vs the more expensive bosch? units they are currently using.
The R1T is a much more finished and practical product, especially the refreshed one. With the amount of problems and issues listed here abut the CT I wouldn’t think twice and choose Rivian.
While I applaud the unique styling of the Cybertruck, I find it less attractive looking each time I see it. But I feel like seeing it in person would be a totally different experience.
In person it looks smaller.
Yeah I think it is wild and really cool looking. It’s not for everyone and of course there are going to be to be problems but what the heck it’s fun!
Need a battery pack with more energy under the chasis, hopefully in a year.
…so the truck can be even heavier? We need an increase in battery efficiency to drive range.
Would you feel comfortable enough taking your Rivian on a long cross country trip?
At 9:20 What is up with the odd wedges on the tire sidewalls and why do the wheel covers chew into the tires? Sidewalls bulge and distort dramatically. A sidewall blowout due to chaffing on a 6,800 pound, steer-by-wire vehicle could be s big expensive problem.
Kyle is the only guy I can remotely stand to listen about Cybertruck news. He unbiased, and not a "complete" fanboy :) I am so tired of hearing all the "alien technology, and bulletproof bullshit"
It's like you can't just have an opinion on the Cybertruck. It either has to be the single greatest thing ever to grace our roads, flawless in every way (you just don't understand if you think it's bad) or it's objectively the worst human invention ever to roll on asphalt and the ugliest sin against design ever to sully our city streets.
@@MaskedMammal exactly! And to be really honest John from Tesla owners of Silicon Valley has completely turned me off to it with his constant bombardment of repetitive postings. I already ordered an R2 rivian and I am going to very much enjoy that
Sounds like some hate going on there.
@Hugo-py2ce not from me. He's completly unbiased. Every other RUclipsr completely fawns over the truck
Amen brother
I much prefer the Rivian R1T. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Have you tried putting your phone upside down on the wireless charger? I do that with my Model Y, and it works much better; I have the iPhone 14 Pro, and it seems like the wireless charging coil doesn't line up well with the charging pad.
A quick question, do I understand correctly, if the CT can't have FSD because of the drive by wire steering, and Tesla intends all future models to be DBW, how is FSD going to be implemented? Or did I miss something?
The disconnect is because why would someone who hates your car bother coming up to you tell you it sucks? I mean seriously has anyone ever come up to you in any of your other cars to tell you they hate it?
Yes my grandma had an AMC Pacer, and for a lot of people telling her how they thought it was ugly and why would she buy it. She also had people tell her they liked it too.
People dislike change. Makes them fearful so they stick with their past possibly horrible choices.
@@colingenge9999People hate being lied to….EV’s are all about lies.
Most people just want to defend their own purchase and say it's the best around. It makes things worse especially when they are stuck in a 96 month loan @ 9 percent and upside down 50K. They have to convince themselves because they're stuck with their truck for the long haul
@@JK_Vegasyeah only if you’re poor.
Alyssa’s phrase “Pavement Princess” is awesome
And Chomps. Alyssa is amazing. What a wonderful and interesting couple. Integrity and intellect.
im embarrassed to say I am one.
She's got a lot of these... grounded in negativity towards Elon/Tesla and in this case vehicle owners of a Cybertruck.
25:00 So, base autopilot is not available on the CT yet. But, what about TACC (Traffic-Aware Cruise Control)? Is that available now?
Yes. Tacc is available
Thanks Kyle. Great post-trip appraisal. Enjoyed all of it. Great names the missus comes up with - especially 'carrot cutter'. That was also a great video.
it would be nice to find range for 65mph.
Love this very honest review - completely devoid of any fanboyism. Well done.
Spending 120k on a POS can sober one up, VERY quickly.
I understand the center console has double-layer storage . . . and maybe cord chargers?
Really unfortunate they haven’t improved the wireless chargers. My 2022 model y is the same. They are basically just phone heaters and I need to use a cable if I actually want to charge my phone
A lot of people won't say what they truly feel in person. Most of the people who hate it will simply ignore it so they will not be in the crowd around it.
Idk, I think I hate it and I’d still check it out.
Me too. I think it's hideous but I'd still be curious
Noticed how the wiper only cleared about have of the passenger sides windshield. It seems like that would be annoying for the passenger to look out. Your thoughts?
The front end doesn’t look symmetrical - bigger gap on the drivers side?
The 240 receptical isn't a problem on my lightning. If I need the receptical that the cybertruck has, i just plug in an adapter. I've used my truck to power my home but never charged another vehicle with it.
It needs a Baja Kit which includes a spare tire mount in the bed for serious offroad work. Maybe factory bead locks.
A modern truck with TPMS and load range E tires driving on road really doesn't need a spare.
Its all good going into mud, sand, snow, bugs, and stuff, but keeping your equiptment clean afterwards is a good means of maintenaince and enabling it to last longer. Not unreasonable.
Good to see the software updates are improving the performance gradually.
lmao it can't handle any of that
The F-150 Lightning we bought came with an adapter to convert the 240v to NEMA-1450. We didn't have to add it as an option, and it wasn't listed as an option, so I think it was just included? And I think that's the right choice, as the outlet choice is based on what is most likely to be plugged into it, and using NEMA-1450 I think is a more niche use case. The adapter can even be helpful as the outlets on these trucks are recessed, and a lot of those 1450 charge cables will not be designed to work with a recessed outlet, meaning you won't be able to plug them in fully. But when using an adapter, having it be recessed is no longer an issue. Orientation could still maybe be an issue though, if the cord comes off the plug in a way where it collides excessively with the bed.
Glad you mentioned how important a frunk that you don’t have to lift things in and out of is to the practicality of using it!
It’s one of the top reasons I can’t imagine getting rid of my F150 Lightning, even though I really like the Rivian. I use the frunk every day and it’s actually pretty life changing to have a huge, locked storage area that is easily accessible and not visible to potential thieves.
I hope Rivian understands this at some point because I won’t buy one unless they do.
Oh my god incredible technology the doors work they open they close no problem such a progress
Snow can be piled up on bumper ledge and block the headlights? That's dangerous, man. They should fix this before someone get hurts.
Isn’t that every light?
Its so crazy seeing your Rivian in green and thinking its the same white truck you have owned, looks good!
Kyle would you drive CT or RT1 for road trip?
My home electric rate is $0.11/kWh. (4,374 miles / 2307 kWh) = 1.895 miles / kWh. 2307 kWh * $0.11/kWh = $253.77. $253.77 / 4,374 miles = $0.058 / mile. 2.66X more efficient than a 20 mpg car at $3.09/gallon.
Don't forget to factor in $10+ K for replacement batteries down the road. Do they have disposal fees like tires when you replace them?
@@RedBud315 I agree but I'm thinking more like 30K. And battery disposal is going to be a big problem. Elon says "recyclable" like it's a magic word. But just because something is "recyclable" doesn't mean it's free to get rid of. I've taken tractor trailer loads of stuff like broken concrete, bricks, cinder blocks, torn up asphalt, etc to the places where they recycle it and they charge me by the ton to dump it.
Lots of plastic is recyclable but they are paying to dump it in landfills, because it isn't profitable to recycle it.
I love Alyssa's comment about needing a big "social battery" if you want to drive a Cybertruck. I can't agree more...not sure I'm up to it. I'll stick with my Rivian that gets just the right amount of attention.
That social battery will run out soon I think, after that who knows what people will say about it.
@@OtterFlash Here in SF Bay Area it’s already played out. The type of people buying them doesn’t help either, kind of older dorky guys who wouldn’t want or have a use for a truck with lots of money to spend on a spectacle. The one most are interested in now are the upcoming Rivians
This is a lot of owners reason for getting one. It's vanity. Because a truck, it isn't.
@@joecoolioness6399It’s a truck. It has a bed.
Nice video Kyle. Is that snow ❄️ in the gardens? Can you please do a video of the cyber truck navigating snow ❤
Great video Kyle and Alyssa!
I love that it's the two of you, having different perspectives is so valuable. For example, she did hear a bunch of people hating on the Cybertruck, and she pointed out why. I don't hate it clearly, I don't believe that it's design is a good engineering decision but if it sells like hotcakes it will be a marketing slamdunk. What we really need is doubling the battery capacity and upgrading the grid, then the gas cars /adventure trucks will be all electric to the future.
At one point it was actually going to be exoskeleton with 3mm thick sheets. The design made sense then. I think the current thickness of 1.8mm SS could be formed into shapes with large enough presses
Our power company here loves EVs. The have a huge amount of extra power that they sell cheap at night and EVs are their answer. No grid upgrade needed!
I like how we can randomly hear the Rivian chirp every few minutes. 😅 Wants to remind you that it is still present.
And superior
@@ericjarvis3051very much so
How was the towing? Did you tow anything?
12:25 are you sure that welding equipment plug wasn’t a 6-50R. That is what I use at home with a Tesla mobile connector.
A tall passenger would have a dirty windshield to look at.
Did it got some damage during delivery because front bumper, panel gaps near front headlights, and panels between passenger front and rear door, seems little off.
- I take some of my words back, it is just the shape, dirt and light that takes the trick.
Nope, that's standard Tesla build quality
It's the shadows, but the Rivian otoh definitely has a very crooked grille/trim panel inside the whole front bumper "face"... 7:45
@@wrathofatlantis2316 now that, is definitely shadow lines. There is sun on the top of the lower black piece on the right, it fades out diagonally as you get to the middle. That creates an odd illusion of it being quite off alignment, but it's not.
Rivian isn't by any means perfect on their panel gaps, but they have a drastically better build quality history than Tesla. Power tonneau issues etc notwithstanding...
Brand new cybertrucks were rusting after like 2 days. Facepalm...
The handprints of the front headliner, will there be an Out of Spec video on that or is it members only content?
Anyways the truck will be interesting to see in 6 months, will the stainless steel withstand real truck stuff.
It's the same metal that was used on DeLoreans
During all of your travels, did you ever try driving slower, say 65 mph, for one whole charge to see what effect that has on the range?
Range is subjective due to all types of elements involved
I think Alyssa is the perfect foil for Kyle's enthusiasm. Her delivery of her opinions is perfect every time. Love ya both, great content as always :)
Love your reviews!
19:56 On my Model Y, I just drilled the vent bleeder and installed a 50 cent tube from home depot to vent my phone. Now it charges super fast!
What do you have to say about the 343 miles Edmunds was able to get?
Edmunds is a mixed cycle test so you get different speeds and some regen. It’s a good estimate for mixed daily use. Kyle was talking about freeway range, which is always lower than Edmund’s.
@TJPavey No one only drives on the highway at 75mph. Kyle's assessment are not real world though he want you to believe his extreme driving is how it should be measured. It's ridiculous, no one other than kyle drives a vehicle form Florida to CA to CO in a week... Unless you are getting paid by advertisers this kind of driving is not real world. Admit it and provide more realistic mileage... regen is a real thing so minimizing it is biased reporting.
@@MRGBVCtriggered much? I literally just pointed out why they are different and made no claim that one was better than another. About a month ago I was blasted on Reddit for espousing the value of the Edmunds test. Can’t win with you keyboard warriors.
My personal opinion is that I use Edmunds for efficiency numbers because I would choose electric for environmental reasons so efficiency matters some. Their range number is fairly meaningless to me because if I’m in mixed driving I’m likely able to charge overnight in my garage. Some may find the max mixed range useful due to lack charging at home or because they genuinely drive 300 miles in a mixed use case on a daily basis.
On the other hand, Kyle’s range number (which is 70mph not 75. If you go rage mode get the number right at least.) is more valuable as a range figure because I do take road trips a will have 3+ hour stretches between 70 and 80 with very little regen.
So in the end both have value for different uses and both should be taken into account by potential buyers.
@@MRGBVC I agree 100% 👍🏻
The mono wiper (14:45) doesn’t clean the passenger side well at all
what app are you using to provide that calendar view data?
Which channel is gonna have the side-by-side comparison for the Silverado versus the Tesla cyber truck? It’s a little bit hard for me to anticipate what reviews are going to be on which channels
Highway 200mi range is poor for tri motor cyber. Whats rivian quad motor highway range?
33:54 THANK YOU! that is a point i was going to make. Its selection bias. The person that loves the car will come up and say it. the person who doent care will just ignore. the person who mildly dislikes will also not think its worth saying anything. And only people who HATE it will make it known. its like how most people rate an app 1 star or 5 star. Inbetween is less often
Small point (Please correct me if I’m mistaken.) It isn’t drive by wire that you love, it’s the electronic differential control. Drive by wire only means there’s no mechanical connection. But by having it, the vehicle can alter the turning radius.
great video thanks.....what do you mean by "the Austin trucks?" They are all build in Austin, correct?
Could that possibly be the earliest truck(s) he drove at the launch? Wasn't that in/near Austin?
@@anthonyc1883 ah...your right....got it, thanks
Can’t wait to see my first one in the wild!
I received my invite as an early reservation holder to order a Foundation Series. But I think I’m going to wait for regular production variants as I don’t think I can justify the extra $20k, even though it would be so cool to have it sooner!!
Great call!!! Elon will drop the price as soon as delivery positions start to bale on him…
Leaving us upside down on another Tesla loan so he can maintain market share
I do understand why they don't want flippers, with the amount of people with pre orders, I think they want them to go to those that want it.
Every flipper is one less CyberTruck manufactured and sold by Tesla. It's about keeping the production line busy and demand strong.
It just proves that they don't expect to sell the CT in any great numbers. 98% of the preorders are cancelled.
I really love the mud pattern vinyl warp
Hows the water proofing of the tonneau?
