I’m complexed by the hate Cyber has towards it. I wonder if it’s because of Elon or EV’s in general. The bottom line is that no one is forcing anyone to purchase the truck. It’s absolutely ridiculous people have gone out of their way to hate an inanimate object. No worries, I appreciate Tesla’s decision to produce a revolutionary vehicle. I’m an early reservation holder and have been invited to purchase a Foundation Cyber. I’m choosing to hold off for now, I may have regrets if the non Foundation Cyber has less features. Thanks for the excellent six months review, keep up the good work!
Congratulations you are our first ever giveaway winner! Please send me an email with your shipping information and I will ship the Cybertruck backpack to you. If I do not receive the email in 3 days I will have to pick a new winner. Thanks
Congrats on 6 months, anyone that verbally insults and throws stuff at another person’s vehicle has serious underlying insecurity problems that go beyond the looks of the car. That’s embarrassing adults behave like that when children don’t.
Insecurity problems? maybe, but keep in mind that an EV is perceived as 'evil' by "X" % of the population. EVs vs gas cars are part and parcel of the HUGE chasm in American Life
I almost didn’t go through with my delivery because of all the negative bs you see from people online. I’m so glad I didn’t let that stop me, it’s the most amazing vehicle I have ever been in, I love the beast!
Main reason I started my channel was to provide unbiased content. I am glad that you didn't listen to all of the people only looking for clicks and you pulled the trigger on your CT. Its an amazing truck
Picked mine up last night, so this is my 20 hour review 😂 No panel gaps or misalignments. No creeks, rattles, or squeaks (fingers crossed). Went through the drive through to get a soda this morning and the smile on the McDonald's employee was priceless.
@@LaJuanHughesOrdered mine on June 4. I also ordered tactical grey and I think that delayed delivery a bit. It looks good; my MSP has a white interior so this is a nice change
Great overview. I have a Lightning and absolutely fell in love with the ride quality and quiet power EVs have. People just need to go for a drive and it will change their mind forever.
EVs are just big toys. They're not practical at all. If you simply ask the simple questions, you'll get the answers. We don't need to try it. No EV is more practical and efficient than a vehicle that requires fuel to operate.
@@busterhoodstar6598 you’re idea of long winded to others is well thought out, educated and knowledgeable. I’m happy to hear your thoughts if you disagree with any of the facts I’ve laid out. Maybe an EV isn’t practical for your situation, that’s fine. Don’t buy one, but for many it is and science and math are on my side when it comes to efficiency.
Best review I've seen on the Cybertruck. Honestly, all the douchebag influencers have put out so much awfully shallow hype content about the CT that it only feeds the hate and the trolls, and it also creates misinformation and misconceptions. Your review was so straightforward, family-focused, and down to Earth, I really appreciate it.
I cannot stand how much misinformation that is put out. Main reason I started my channel was to provide unbiased content. Glad that you enjoy the videos
@@Butter_EV Funny story: I actually rented a Cybertruck this past weekend for $200 to take my son on a day trip to the Oregon coast, and we absolutely loved it. I was stunned with how damn smooth the ride was. In "comfort mode," the Cybertruck was like a Cadillac or Mercedes S-class. Also, the four-wheel steering is an absolute game-changer. At one point, it allowed us to pull into a parking spot that was at a 45-degree angle away from our direction of travel (i.e. a "wrong way" parking space), but we were able to pull into it with no problem. The tight turning radius absolutely blew my mind. My son couldn't stop talking about how much he loved the truck. Getting back into my Model 3 Performance afterwards felt like I was driving something antiquated. Ha!
Add a few things..... The hitch is tucked too far under the truck, makes it easy to jackknife and can't open gate, Floor vents for a/c?, Should also be a "rear steer lockout" when towing or backing up. (would make it easier to back up a trailer keeping rear wheels straight) I have around 13k miles on mine in 2 months, 3 road trips, and tow a lot.
Some really great points. I did mention the hitch receiver being tucked too far back for my liking in an earlier video I about tow improvements ruclips.net/video/hLzHNG7ClIw/видео.html I do agree with the rear steering making it harder to backup a trailer, that in conjunction with the lack of proper tow mirrors
@@KrennPowerSports I thought reas steer could be turned off. I remember TFL saying it was off while doing the tractor pull. For the car with. Trailer mode. It would be nice to have it disable tilt mirrors when backing .
Thanks for your review. I'm still waiting for my non Foundation Cybertruck. I'm a day 1 reservation holder and can't wait to get my hands on one. When I saw the title of this video I was prepared to be convinced out of buying the truck. I've watched many of your videos and I have grown to trust your experience and opinions. I'm very happy you have enjoyed it with your family. It really makes me want it even more. By the way 12.5 is rolling out to early testers so it's just a matter of time. It would also be good content. Thanks again for the video and keep up the good work.
wow man its the first time i came across your vlogs and I'm a real fan of the cyber truck as well but! this is the first time that i got to watch a REAL honest video about the cyber truck the pro's the con's and everything around it! and I'm real amazed of the clearness and professionalism from what you have shared and explained in the video! keep it up man!!!😍
First of all, congratulations on getting your dream truck! I wish I could have one too, but it's too expensive for me. I'll just wait for the more affordable rear-wheel drive version to come out soon. Great job on creating a video that was both engaging and informative! The smooth flow of content, clear explanations, and captivating visuals made watching it very enjoyable. The way you presented the information was professional and engaging, keeping viewers interested throughout. Overall, you did a fantastic job of delivering valuable content in an interesting way. Keep up the great work with your cybertruck video updates!
Great review. The comments on the ‘road car’ use are especially helpful to me. I am (patiently) waiting for my reservation number to come up. Vicarious living through your RUclips episodes are greatly appreciated! Ted
Awesome review - I've had mine for 3 months now and I share many of the same thoughts. Do not regret it at all. Would like to have HDMI inputs on the front screen for a trailer reverse camera, or Tesla could make a "towing rear view mirror" to go in place of the existing one that has a screen for either a trailer reverse camera or a truck reverse camera.
You really gave a great unbiased review of this EV from the unique perspective of a truck user and frequent tower. I echo your final thoughts 100%. The CT exceeded my expectations and is my daily driver now. Obviously it's not perfect, there are a couple things that really bug me (the rearview mirror is one of them). Ultimately no regrets.
Great review - easy to follow, and your opinions all seem well balanced. Still waiting for my VIN (core AS tires is delaying it…) but can’t wait to get it. Enjoyed the video, keep em coming!
Thank you for providing a thoughtful, honest review of your Cybertruck. It's very helpful for those of us who plan on towing and using it for family camping.
Glad that you enjoyed the video. I am actually in process of making my CT an overland truck. I've got a lot of content coming down the pipeline. Stay tuned
Thank you for your six month update. I really appreciate your honesty and real world opinion of the truck. I look forward to your videos and it will be great to hear your one year update and beyond. Thank you.
Great 6-month review video! Really was comforting to hear this as I await fulfilling my non-Foundation reservation later this year, hopefully. I would like to offer an idea that might help with prioritizing pull-thru stalls to those actually towing. This idea would require some UI changes from Tesla, but your channel could be just the voice needed to give this idea the needed visibility in the community and eventually to Tesla. The idea is to allow only those actively towing to reserve an available pull-thru stall once they are within some reasonable Supercharger arrival radius. I believe CTs and possibly other Teslas as well can either sense if the vehicle is really towing, or just know already as the vehicle has been set to tow mode. This could prevent those not towing from abusing the reservation system. Next, with navigation set to a specific Supercharger with a pull-thru stall(s), from the vehicle’s screen one would reserve a stall beginning 5 minutes before your current estimated arrival time. To other vehicles remotely checking that SC availability this stall would show as RESERVED beginning at X:XX am/pm. Charging for others at this reserved stall would be disabled 5 minutes prior your arrival. This is fully within Tesla’s ability to identify specific vehicles during the initial vehicle to charger handshake. Typical Supercharger idle fees would encourage the other vehicle to move out of the stall during those 5 minutes. I believe this is fair, relatively simple, and possible completely with some in-vehicle UI additions. What do you think?
Thank you for the kind words and support. I have thrown out similar ideas on how to keep non towing vehicles out of the pull through stalls but your in-depth ideas are amazing. I will bring this up on my podcast tomorrow and will definitely mention this in a future tow video. Thanks 🙏🏻
@@LaJuanHughes I got my order email June 7th and ordered the same day. Took delivery July 25th. I ordered the AWD Tactical gray with CyberWheels. If I had ordered the White interior I could have taken delivery within 5 days. And to respond to your other comment, Yes I love this vehicle. I don't tow so that is not a concern for me, but I do carry a bunch of stuff in the bed and I like how it is lockable when needed and the cover disappears when I need to carry larger items. Ride and steering is awesome. So glad I made the decision.
It's amazing that there's this many comments! As for the haters, ignore em! Change is difficult for some people! Tks for taken time for the review! Good info Sir.
Good change is good my friend, not a 7000 pounds of stainless steel rolling on the road with no crumble zone, this truck is not safe for the people inside or outside. I just hope this truck doesn't become self driving
Thanks for keeping it real about the good & the bad about owning a Cybertruck. I hope to get one someday and can’t wait to experience it for myself. Keep up the great content!
Hey great video very informative. I've been looking into an electric car myself. I loved all the points that you pointed out with the tow And the pull through charger. Well, good luck to all of us that entered the contest
@Butter_EV1 thanks so much, that is very generous. Honestly though, I likely would not use it. Perhaps you have another viewer who is into collecting Tesla souvenirs and would appreciate it much more than me.
Thank you for your honest 6 months review. You made good points on the towing camera feature. Also I learned that up can open the frunk with the button. I've never seen that with other videos lol. Awesome backpack.
Love your detailed usage review, range and pull-thru charge is definitely an issue when towing. Debating between a F450 Ranch with 5th wheel and a Cybertruck, I think Cybertruck has the ability to cover more usability envelope than F450, with exception of 5th wheel as you’ve said. Thanks for a great and informative review.
I'm happy that the video is helping with your decision. If you're going with a 5th wheel, I wouldn't blame you, then the F-450 has to be the choice. Thanks for watching and commenting
Absolutely stellar review. Very objective and to the point. Seems like you have had a lot of experience with the truck and were able to share alot more information than the average owner who doesn’t haul.
Thanks for your feedback on your CT. I’m going on 2 months with mine and I freaking love it. You made made some some some comments on your dislikes but it’s all good it’s still bad ass.
I get somewhere around 125 miles pulling my trailer but this will all defer on the weather and terrain. Also in my tow tests I have learned that the more aerodynamic the trailer the much better range. I towed a Bowlus and got well over 200 miles of range out of the CT ruclips.net/video/CAXeQmr3J5w/видео.htmlsi=L6CtXGUnhenhD5iY
Very honest and informative video. I like the approach and realistic applications. Been on the fence and feel better when watching. Excellent point about the body and construction.
I'm coming up on 2 months with my CT and have no regrets. My main pain point has been the size of the truck since it barely fits in my garage! Also I live in Socal, so CT are becoming more and more common here every day. I've had numerous thumbs up, and only one double-middle finger...mostly I don't get any attention since Teslas are so common around here. Anyway, thanks for the review...I'm definitely keeping mine!
Thanks for the watch and comment. Yes, the attention is dying down here in SoCal but I literally had a mustang owner give me the bird just two days ago 🤦🏻♂️
Totally agree about air suspension. I tow horses and heavy trailers in my (also) daily driver. After about 5 trucks, I now put in air suspension on every truck tow with. Regardless of the brand, the second I get a truck, I do a spray in bedliner, and airbags. Also, on every single truck... Once the tires bite the dust, they all get bfg at/kos asap.
This is a well rounded review based on your experience. Thank you for sharing. I'm waiting to get mine as a non-foundation series for a family hauler and weekend warrior vehicle. Who knows maybe I'll get a boat one day.
Great video with ups and downs. Really appreciate the sincerity and your truck pulling experience to back it up. Time for me to pull the trigger and order!
Absolutely the most balanced and fair review of the Tesla CyberTruck I’ve seen. Stellar work and review. Pros and cons of a very nice vehicle that needs improvement. Thanks again 👍😁🙏✌️
Thanks for the vid. I’m waiting to purchase a non foundation CT, and recently rented one on Turo for a 24 hour rest drive. The vehicle is awesome thanks for all your vids.
I have owned Tesla model 3 long range about 4yrs, I really love it! I have also waited about 4yrs for cybertruck! Finally it launched in Canada! I’m going to tradin my model 3 for this amazing truck for my airstreams flylingcloud 23Fb😊. The major reason I chose cybertruck is self driving functions in order to tow my airstream trailer more safe for long distance trips!
Nice video, these things are growing on me. I was just thinking, for backing your trailer, maybe you could set up a backup camera on the roof of the rear of the trailer?
I appreciate the videos. The cybertruck is something I am looking forward to, and I like all the detailed information about what it is like to own one.
I appreciate the kind words. I am happy with the range but don't get me wrong I wish there was more range. Once they get more pull through charging stalls that'll make towing life much easier
Thank you for your review! Great perspective and a refreshing take on a marvel of engineering. Great feedback. When foundation series halt, seriously looking at getting one!
I'm in my 60's and I think the reason why people throw things at you is because the really want to have enough money to get one themselves. Or, they are afraid of technology. The only things I see that could be a problem is the mirrors size ,the slanted back is too deep near the cab, the back cover blocks the back window when its closed. You guys could use a heads up display on the dashboard. Hope you get what you want after paying so much money for the truck. I think the next one should have a level back sides of the bed and the back window not being blocked from the cover for the bed. And bigger mirrors for safe reasons so incase the screen go blank. Just a thought. Enjoy your truck.
Your point about negative reactions…from what I have seen 98% of the people who see it in person love it. If you are reacting to online comments it’s probably just trolls.
Great video! I just got my cybertruck two weeks ago and love it. Any idea if at home charging will be faster soon? Feels like I’m getting half of what I get for my Y.
Man, I really hope they can speed up the home charging. I made a video about it shortly after taking delivery and it is definitely slower than every Tesla that I have ever owned
Thanks for the CT 6mo owner video as it will assist my own exploration as I receive my cyberbeaat before the EOY and just configured the tri motor and can’t wait to get truckin.
@Butter_EV8 oh wow that’s awesome! That backpack I’ve been looking at for 6 months since the Cybertruck started shipping, my 6-year old backpack is just starting to fall apart, if this is true it will be put to great use 😁
Great review - thanks for sharing. Since most of the Supercharger Network was developed before the CT, will be interesting to see how Tesla pivots to accommodate. I also wonder what it will take to be able to ramp up some of those chargers to handle the max capacity of a CT or if they will need to replace them. Do you use a weight distribution hitch at all on your trailer and are you able to open the tailgate when parked and straight? I was surprised to see the truck would let you lower the tailgate from the app or screen even if you were close enough to something where it would hit. Do you have lots of drain on hot days? Any recommendations on how to combat it? Keep the videos coming - Thanks!
Thanks for the kind words. In order to charge at 350kws, which the CT can do, a tesla supercharger stall would need to be replaced with the new V4 stalls. I do not use a weight distribution hitch as a viewer stated that I shouldn't use one with the CT since it is a unibody. I called my hitch manufactured and they stated the same. I cannot open my tailgate when hitched to my trailer. I don't see too much phantom drain on hot days but I am in Las Vegas right now and in 115 degree weather so I'll pay close attention to that. Look out for a YT short this weekend talking about that 😉
Very well taken pros and cons. Couple more, I wish rear seats were reclinable, just a little at least, Wish there are USB-C ports on the dashboard and/or around/behind the screen.
Very good points. I do wish that they had plugs behind the screen so you mount your phone and charge it without a cord going across the truck. Reclining rear seat would be really nice as well. I didn't think about it since I rarely sit back there
It should be able to automatically detect the trailer mode. As long as the driver gives the length, width, and height data, the power consumption speed can be calculated.
Thanks for the great review. I will be getting mine on the last of July. Maybe tesla will see this and make some changes. I think it would be great to have the two cameras on the sides available in tow mode!
I’m complexed by the hate Cyber has towards it. I wonder if it’s because of Elon or EV’s in general. The bottom line is that no one is forcing anyone to purchase the truck.

By far, the best CyberTruck review I've seen so far covering the issues people care most about. Well done!
I really appreciate it
Thanks for the 6 month update. It's pathetic that people throw drinks at it...
Totally agree
@@Butter_EV Did you capture the drink throw incident on Tesla's 10 Minute Buffering Cameras?
We’re throwing hands 1000000% if someone threw a drink at my car. I’m sorry that is absolutely unacceptable. You will face repercussions immediately.
Yea at least throw acid or something
It is but you can thank Elon for that.

Thank you for the kind words and support. I have thrown out similar ideas on how to keep non towing vehicles out of the pull through stalls but your in-depth ideas are amazing. I will bring this up on my podcast tomorrow and will definitely mention this in a future tow video. Thanks 🙏🏻
Thanks for the honest feedback. I pick up my CT tomorrow and couldn't be more excited
@@sandiegogeek when did you order . Did you order with grey or white trim.
Congratulations!!
@@sandiegogeek how do you like it. I got to test drive one this weekend at the X Takeover . I'm glad I ordered mine..
@@LaJuanHughes I got my order email June 7th and ordered the same day. Took delivery July 25th. I ordered the AWD Tactical gray with CyberWheels. If I had ordered the White interior I could have taken delivery within 5 days. And to respond to your other comment, Yes I love this vehicle. I don't tow so that is not a concern for me, but I do carry a bunch of stuff in the bed and I like how it is lockable when needed and the cover disappears when I need to carry larger items. Ride and steering is awesome. So glad I made the decision.
It's amazing that there's this many comments! As for the haters, ignore em! Change is difficult for some people! Tks for taken time for the review! Good info Sir.
I appreciate the kind words and support 🙏🏼
Good change is good my friend, not a 7000 pounds of stainless steel rolling on the road with no crumble zone, this truck is not safe for the people inside or outside. I just hope this truck doesn't become self driving
Thanks for keeping it real about the good & the bad about owning a Cybertruck. I hope to get one someday and can’t wait to experience it for myself. Keep up the great content!
Thanks and you will fall in love once you drive one
Hey great video very informative. I've been looking into an electric car myself. I loved all the points that you pointed out with the tow And the pull through charger. Well, good luck to all of us that entered the contest
I am glad that you enjoyed the video and good luck with the contest!
I’ve had my CyberBeast for one month and while I love it, I agree with your feedback and issues.
🙏🏻
Very impressive video review. Thorough, objective, and balanced.
I appreciate the kind words
@Butter_EV1 thanks so much, that is very generous. Honestly though, I likely would not use it. Perhaps you have another viewer who is into collecting Tesla souvenirs and would appreciate it much more than me.
This was a very insightful video, thank you!
Thank you
Great and informative video. Straight to the point, without any unnecessary fluff.
Glad you enjoyed it
Thanks for sharing your review! Very informative.
I appreciate the kind words
Awesome update! Real review and Tesla should listen to you.
Thanks and I hope they do
@Butter_EV1 that is awesome!!
Thank you for your honest 6 months review. You made good points on the towing camera feature. Also I learned that up can open the frunk with the button. I've never seen that with other videos lol. Awesome backpack.
Thanks and the frunk button is amazing!
It’s crazy to me that every Cybertruck owner I talk to are saying they get a lot of hate for this truck. When did it become a crime to own a vehicle.
When the whole country is based off oil and elon is trying to go electric.
People are crazy
Love your detailed usage review, range and pull-thru charge is definitely an issue when towing. Debating between a F450 Ranch with 5th wheel and a Cybertruck, I think Cybertruck has the ability to cover more usability envelope than F450, with exception of 5th wheel as you’ve said. Thanks for a great and informative review.
I'm happy that the video is helping with your decision. If you're going with a 5th wheel, I wouldn't blame you, then the F-450 has to be the choice. Thanks for watching and commenting
Absolutely stellar review. Very objective and to the point. Seems like you have had a lot of experience with the truck and were able to share alot more information than the average owner who doesn’t haul.
Nice 6 mth honest review keep up the great work
Thank you. I appreciate the kind words 🙏🏼
Thanks for your feedback on your CT. I’m going on 2 months with mine and I freaking love it. You made made some some some comments on your dislikes but it’s all good it’s still bad ass.
I have my little gripes but I freaking love this truck
As you said ..most of those issues would be fixed in time..hopefully by the time I get mine. Kudos to your video. Authentic !!!
Thanks for watching!
What is the range when towing the camper trailer.
Thx 😀
I get somewhere around 125 miles pulling my trailer but this will all defer on the weather and terrain. Also in my tow tests I have learned that the more aerodynamic the trailer the much better range. I towed a Bowlus and got well over 200 miles of range out of the CT ruclips.net/video/CAXeQmr3J5w/видео.htmlsi=L6CtXGUnhenhD5iY
Great review. Love your channel.
Thanks so much!
Great content thank you! I hope Tesla listens to recommendations specially around towing.
🙏🏻 Let's hope that someone is listening 🤣 I appreciate the support
Very honest and informative video. I like the approach and realistic applications. Been on the fence and feel better when watching. Excellent point about the body and construction.
Your videos all great. I am waiting my Cyber truck too.
Thank you and I hope you get yours soon
Love your truck! Glad your living your dream. Mines on order for ehats going to be forever.
You'll get it sooner than you think. Congrats!
I'm coming up on 2 months with my CT and have no regrets. My main pain point has been the size of the truck since it barely fits in my garage! Also I live in Socal, so CT are becoming more and more common here every day. I've had numerous thumbs up, and only one double-middle finger...mostly I don't get any attention since Teslas are so common around here. Anyway, thanks for the review...I'm definitely keeping mine!
Thanks for the watch and comment. Yes, the attention is dying down here in SoCal but I literally had a mustang owner give me the bird just two days ago 🤦🏻♂️
Totally agree about air suspension. I tow horses and heavy trailers in my (also) daily driver. After about 5 trucks, I now put in air suspension on every truck tow with. Regardless of the brand, the second I get a truck, I do a spray in bedliner, and airbags. Also, on every single truck... Once the tires bite the dust, they all get bfg at/kos asap.
💯
This is a well rounded review based on your experience. Thank you for sharing. I'm waiting to get mine as a non-foundation series for a family hauler and weekend warrior vehicle. Who knows maybe I'll get a boat one day.
non-foundation series is gonna sell like hotcakes
Great video with ups and downs. Really appreciate the sincerity and your truck pulling experience to back it up. Time for me to pull the trigger and order!
Gotta do it! Thanks for the support
Great well rounded review.
I appreciate it
Great video feel total honesty throughout. Good for my significant other to better understand what we have on order.
Glad that you enjoyed the video and that it was informative
Thx for the video! That backpack 🎒 would awesome for my 11yr old! Let’s Go! 😊
Good luck with the giveaway!
Thank you for the review. The darker wrap makes a huge difference on the Cyber truck’s looks.
I am glad that you enjoyed the video. I absolutely love my wrap 😍
Dude, awesome video. I love the honest opinion and your words speak true to my experience with my CT. Keep the videos coming. New subscriber here.
Thanks for the sub and support
Absolutely the most balanced and fair review of the Tesla CyberTruck I’ve seen. Stellar work and review.
Pros and cons of a very nice vehicle that needs improvement.
Thanks again 👍😁🙏✌️
Truly appreciate the kinds words and support 🙏🏻
Thanks for the vid. I’m waiting to purchase a non foundation CT, and recently rented one on Turo for a 24 hour rest drive. The vehicle is awesome thanks for all your vids.
Thank you for the kind words and I do believe more people need to rent one before they form an opinion
Excellent review! I appreciate the honesty! I get my Cyberbeast in the next 70 days. Looking forward to the different experiences.
Thanks!
I rode in a beast this weekend and man you’re gonna love it. Congratulations!!
Amazing! I picked it up last Thursday and I am loving it!!
I have owned Tesla model 3 long range about 4yrs, I really love it! I have also waited about 4yrs for cybertruck! Finally it launched in Canada! I’m going to tradin my model 3 for this amazing truck for my airstreams flylingcloud 23Fb😊. The major reason I chose cybertruck is self driving functions in order to tow my airstream trailer more safe for long distance trips!
Awesome, enjoy your CT
Nice video, these things are growing on me. I was just thinking, for backing your trailer, maybe you could set up a backup camera on the roof of the rear of the trailer?
I have a backup camera on my trailer but due to the lack of a cigarette lighter plus I cannot power the screen 🤦🏻♂️
Thanks for the review! It's not easy being the first to own such a crazy vehicle
Beta tester 😩
Thanks for the honest review. We are considering this for a camping vehicle.
Glad you enjoyed the video. I am actually getting my CT ready for some overlanding camping so stay tuned for that content
You are swaying me into placing this order for my foundation series!
I was holding out for the regular consumer AWD.
Non FS is close so if you can wait and save the $20k then I'd recommend that but if you don't mind to pay for FS you won't be disappointed
😎🤙
Great real world review!!!
Thank you 🙏🏻
Great review
Very honest
Thank you sir. I appreciate your continued support 🙏🏻
Amazing review, really covered all the details. Hope Tesla watches this and update some of the things you mentioned with the next software update
Thank you. I hope someone is listening and is able to fix some of these "small" issues
I appreciate the videos. The cybertruck is something I am looking forward to, and I like all the detailed information about what it is like to own one.
Glad you like them!
Very well done review. Well spoken and not hyperbole. Good job! Hopefully Tesla sees it and takes your input to heart.
Fingers crossed!
I am excited for the Cybertruck but am worried about short towing ranges. You seem happy enough with the range you are getting. Great video.
I appreciate the kind words. I am happy with the range but don't get me wrong I wish there was more range. Once they get more pull through charging stalls that'll make towing life much easier
Thank you for your review! Great perspective and a refreshing take on a marvel of engineering. Great feedback. When foundation series halt, seriously looking at getting one!
When FS ends this thing is going to sell millions
Seems like a really fair and honest review. Thanks for putting this together. A cyber truck is in my future.
Thanks and hope you get your CT soon
I'm in my 60's and I think the reason why people throw things at you is because the really want to have enough money to get one themselves. Or, they are afraid of technology. The only things I see that could be a problem is the mirrors size ,the slanted back is too deep near the cab, the back cover blocks the back window when its closed. You guys could use a heads up display on the dashboard. Hope you get what you want after paying so much money for the truck. I think the next one should have a level back sides of the bed and the back window not being blocked from the cover for the bed. And bigger mirrors for safe reasons so incase the screen go blank. Just a thought. Enjoy your truck.
🙏🏻
Your point about negative reactions…from what I have seen 98% of the people who see it in person love it. If you are reacting to online comments it’s probably just trolls.
Yes they take pictures
Wrong…98% of people think they are hideous.
He said people flip him off, yell things, and throw drinks on it. That's not online trolls
I get a lot of online trolls but I just had a Mustang driver give me the 🐦 two days ago
@@Butter_EV Fanboys getting the finger…..common
Great video! I just got my cybertruck two weeks ago and love it. Any idea if at home charging will be faster soon? Feels like I’m getting half of what I get for my Y.
Man, I really hope they can speed up the home charging. I made a video about it shortly after taking delivery and it is definitely slower than every Tesla that I have ever owned
Thanks for the CT 6mo owner video as it will assist my own exploration as I receive my cyberbeaat before the EOY and just configured the tri motor and can’t wait to get truckin.
You're gonna love it. Congratulations
Awesome review, especially on the towing experience as I have a 21 ft travel trailer…and love that backpack!!! Thanks for all of your videos 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Thank you for the kind words. I truly appreciate the support. Good luck with the giveaway 🙏🏻
@Butter_EV8 oh wow that’s awesome! That backpack I’ve been looking at for 6 months since the Cybertruck started shipping, my 6-year old backpack is just starting to fall apart, if this is true it will be put to great use 😁
You are doing amazing work, keep it up! 👍
Thank you so much 😀
Great review - thanks for sharing. Since most of the Supercharger Network was developed before the CT, will be interesting to see how Tesla pivots to accommodate. I also wonder what it will take to be able to ramp up some of those chargers to handle the max capacity of a CT or if they will need to replace them. Do you use a weight distribution hitch at all on your trailer and are you able to open the tailgate when parked and straight? I was surprised to see the truck would let you lower the tailgate from the app or screen even if you were close enough to something where it would hit. Do you have lots of drain on hot days? Any recommendations on how to combat it? Keep the videos coming - Thanks!
Thanks for the kind words. In order to charge at 350kws, which the CT can do, a tesla supercharger stall would need to be replaced with the new V4 stalls. I do not use a weight distribution hitch as a viewer stated that I shouldn't use one with the CT since it is a unibody. I called my hitch manufactured and they stated the same. I cannot open my tailgate when hitched to my trailer. I don't see too much phantom drain on hot days but I am in Las Vegas right now and in 115 degree weather so I'll pay close attention to that. Look out for a YT short this weekend talking about that 😉
At the Model X fanfare event, they were towing an Airstream. I wish they were considering pull in stalls back then like they should have.
Very informative and unbiased. Appreciate your thoughts and realistic feedback
Looking forward to more vids 👍🏼
Thank you and I have so much great content coming down the pipeline
Excellent video man
Thank you
The best tow truck (you've ever owned)! Let's go! I need to learn how to use the towing hitch, hehehe
Gotta use it as a truck
@Butter_EV1 woot! Awesome! Let’s go!!! 🔥🔥🔥
Thank you for the update on your cyber truck.
You are very welcome and thank you for the watch and comment 🙏🏻
Very well taken pros and cons. Couple more, I wish rear seats were reclinable, just a little at least, Wish there are USB-C ports on the dashboard and/or around/behind the screen.
Very good points. I do wish that they had plugs behind the screen so you mount your phone and charge it without a cord going across the truck. Reclining rear seat would be really nice as well. I didn't think about it since I rarely sit back there
It should be able to automatically detect the trailer mode. As long as the driver gives the length, width, and height data, the power consumption speed can be calculated.
💯 I think they need to rethink how the truck calculates it range as payload and other factors such as tires and bed racks also affect range
Appreciate the candid video! Keep up the great work!
Thank you
Great update. We’re thinking of buying one as well.
You won't regret it
Thanks for the honest review, no fan boying or hating.
Glad you enjoyed it
Thanks for the great review. I will be getting mine on the last of July. Maybe tesla will see this and make some changes. I think it would be great to have the two cameras on the sides available in tow mode!
Totally agree, if they enabled some type of tow mode which allowed some camera customization that would be awesome
