Missed quite a few things like Ethernet, unique structural design, etc. Wrong about 48V, Germans and other MFGs have been talking about 48V for 30 yrs, far more important now than it was then they just didn't have the gumption to make the change, everyone will go 48 over time.
Other reviewers: THIS IS THE BEST TRUCK EVER MADE!!! Other reviewers: THIS IS THE WORST TRUCK EVER MADE!!! The Car Care Nut: Take a seat, have a beer and lets have a talk. I will tell you what is GOOD AND BAD about this truck.
Other channels are basically too much propaganda. Either they simp for Tesla like Bandera the Ukrainian simped for Hitler, or they detest Tesla like Churchill detested Stalin.
Congrats, you were successfully misled It's 'THE BEST TRUCK' one He's talking about every possible advantage in the broadest and most spectacular way.. and then briefly acknowledges only the unavoidable negatives Like.. safe for the pedestrians? According to Tesla itself this knife sharp edgy thing is safe, so formally he can say it and he did Eah, great objectivity here
Same with Sandy Munro when he first saw it in the MY. It is engineering brilliance. There are equally brilliant things in the electronics, but they are harder to appreciate.
As an Engineer I am not impressed. Perspective matters. It looks like a two manifold barstock valves frankensteined together with small electric actuators, the key is flow path assurance be ensuring the right valve positions are enabled when required by use of proper sensors and good programming. Ultimately not that complicated.
@@milktobo7418 I’m just a layman so I’m just asking, not arguing. If it’s not very impressive why do other manufacturers have cars with no frunks, ridiculously large batteries, and huge range loss in cold weather? Why would the video host rave about how good it is?
3 sensors are not because of additional redundancy, but because of consensus/quorum. If you have just 2 sensors and one of them starts reading incorrect values there is no way to know which sensor is broken, they both just report different values. If you have 3 of them, then you use values reported by two sensors and ignore the value from the remaining sensor.
@@Sw33tBabyRays I’m not arguing that it’s a measure of redundancy. I’m arguing that it’s absolutely necessary to have 3 sensors and 2 is not enough. The author said that 3 is overkill and 2 would be enough. I explained the reason why “tiebreaker” is needed.
So you do get a constant 'preflight check'. And the electric motors can be messaured for resistance and if there sholud be abnormal voltage drop (worn steering componants), so the steeer by wire might end up beeing as safe as the airplane.
Best channel for car reviews I ve found so far, others just talking about the exterior and driving experience. This guy is the real deal, let’s boost his channel!
Best camera person on RUclips! The visual and detailed explanation is on point. No delay. Ahmed said something about a certain body of the car. The camera gets to that area quickly. It's very comfortable to watch as a car channel. Compare to all the other car channels. Thanks, camera person. 👌👌👌 Ahmed gave the most important questions that I don't know review. Thanks, Ahmed, for your knowledge!
Off topic but, your voice is very calming and intelligent. You come across as very trustworthy. I want to continue to listen so I can learn from you. Thank You.
3 sensors for the steering rack is not overkill, if you had 2 and one started sending bad data, how would you know which one was right? There's an old saying "A sailor never goes to sea with two clocks; always take one or three."
I really appreciate your unique take on the CyberTruck. All the other reviews I've watched have only been showcasing how "crazy" it is in various ways. I'm still not a fan of the truck but you pointing out and talking about the different engineering feats made me have some respect for the vehicle. Also I had not thought about it as a tech demo before. That was eye-opening.
Yea it is. As you said this is essentially demo vehicle for technology for nextgen models. Mainly model 2 in mind. Quite smart the milk all SUV custumer s market fro its worth. Meanwhile engineers could took higher risks with low production car like CT is.
In other reviews we got lucky if the 48V system was mentioned in passing, and even then it was buried under "this is so cool brah" things/gimmicks...or at least of the 4 reviews I've seen with this one regarding this car. I kind of avoid content on it save for a few sources. As AMD puts it, I'm all onboard and I can see the value, heck if those early adopters want to pay the early adopter price for tech that will then trickle down, cool go for it. But it's some of the other things as he mentions and a bunch he, understandably, avoided that make me really dislike what the truck has become to mean. At the very least I hope, though I expect to be wrong, that this is the peak, or near it, of huge oversized cars for less than 6 people...I want to see smaller, more efficient packaging in cars, I don't want it to keep escalating into a urban war of who can get the biggest car to bully others around in.
@@alesksander You need at least 80 grand to get one. You don't have to get the dual motor like this one. Actually I think I could get one at around 65K, Seems like a better deal than just a 4X4 F-150 because those old designs are boring to me.
Agreed and I had similar thoughts since the preview vidoes... This could have been the new Model 3 or a million dollar super luery vechilce... But it isn't it's a weird dispointing comrppromise.
@@metalmike570 Yeah quirky is right word. If it would be normal truck it would just fall between all other SUV trucks. SO i can admire Musk and his team said "f this shi* just build it."
@17:37 - Remember Ohm's law AMD. V = IR. You increase voltage at the same resistance, you current will increase as well. They are directly proportional, not indirectly. I think what you are referring to is if power (P = VA) consumption is kept the same, and you increase the voltage, then yes current will decrease. For example, lets say a car consumes 240W on a 12V battery, the load will be 20 amps. On a 48V battery, at 240W, that load is decreased to 5A
yes, your current decreases linearly with voltage, so x4 on the voltage means 1/4 on the current and 1/2 on the cross section diameters of the wires (surface is 1/4), right ?
Yes he said BS. Joule heating is P= IV = V^2/R and so greater with greater voltage. Probably either the wires are chosen resistive to reduce current within or not all of battery voltage powers the small element but say single battery cell, instead.
P = VI is the same for AC voltage as long as RMS is used. Regardless of what AMD said, that is what he meant. The guy knows his electronics pretty well.
@@sergiopacheco3512 It's the ugly truckling, manifested. However, a deeper look reveals, a plethora of nexgen tech. But if you are of the 7% of truck owners that long haul, no dice. Although one contractor reported saving $65 per day, when he replaced his Ram 2500 with this truck.
I haven't even come close to finishing this video, but I have to say, I absolutely love the way you approach car reviews. For tech geeks like me, it really is a breath of fresh air. So far, I've watched the GR Corolla one and some of this and there was no way I wasn't going to subscribe. It's incredible how you explain everything at the micro level. I'll most certainly learn a ton from your videos! Keep up the great work.
Excellent review - I learn so much about the vehicle - both "that is crazy well done" and "that is crazy poorly done". Much more interesting than I expected.
You are correct about the mirrors. They were forced to add mirrors - so they've been designed to be removed once NHTSA approves. Same with the tonneau cover - the cameras are replacing the mirrors. It feels strange but works very well.
Brilliant review AMD. Thank you. May I add one point? Tesla is also reinventing the 60 yrs old CAN system with a system called Etherloop (ethernet loop). There is ethernet communication inside the car. That is also something that is unheard of.
57:00 With a normal rearview mirror, the image is far away, so you don't have to refocus your vision to glance at it. A screen showing a rearview camera image, however, presents the image close to the viewer which requires refocusing from far to near, then back to far to look out the windshield. That transition takes time!
Ya, i hate camera rear view mirrors. What u said is true, one has to get use to it and that is an issue when u hv other cars in the garage. I never feel satisfied with the camera. Maybe it is just me.
Yeah, but they stranded two astronauts. Two astronauts are right now exposed to cosmic rays of every kind and other hazard because the vehicle failed and the backup vehicle failed. I am a veteran, though I never worked for NASA, it used to get my back up when some political bonehead would squawk the hundred dollar hammer anecdotes. I never saw that but all an our tools and parts were custom made to specific tolerances. We had to be able to grab whatever out of a box and possibly save lives and property with them. Even an entire ship or base might be saved because of one person repairing the fire suppression equipment while the power is out and they’re taking on water. Confidence in chaos comes from drilling and practicing with familiar equipment.
I got to say that the steer by wire is implemented very well. The CT drives like a dream. Amazing once you get used to it,. Going back to my GMC is painful.
Very interesting and informative review. I do own a Cybertruck now. Filled up the back with three bikes and a bunch of SCUBA gear. Hauled t from California to Arizona went very well. Also, my wife is a SCUBA instructor. she hauls tanks and all the gear in the back and also a trailer on occasion. Yes, it does take an eight minute charge on the way back home with the trailer. Without the trailer. It’s to the lake and back without a problem (156 miles). Everything is a compromise, but this vehicle is phenomenal in so many aspects. :-) It’s only drawback is relatively limited range. Most comfortable vehicle I have ever driven. Thank you for the review. We do use it as a truck!
If range is vital someone could always get the STING: Baja upfit from Archimedes Defense. They install an aviation grade multi-fuel generator in the frunk, allowing the CT to recharge as it goes.
@@kylerobinson7572 Why so different than putting it in a truck? They can't be wet enough to cause problems you just have to let the cargo area or trunk dry a little after.
The thing that blows my mind about the temperature management is not the brilliant engineering (even though that is impressive) but the fact that they were able to do it so it could be produced for a price that allows Tesla to be one of the two profitable EV makers in the world (the other is BYD).
It's only profitable while the fad & novelty of EV tech is still in the mania phase, such that those with money to splurge buy it for exclusivity & bragging or virtue-signaling rights. As soon as the supply of idiots with money to burn starts to taper, they are going to have huge price drops like the rest of the Teslas & the demand will quickly diminish. There's a reason why Tesla has so many pokers in the fire, it's to substitute into their financials once the mania from the prior product dies & the economics of reality begin to assert themselves. The novel technology in this car (like 48V), steer by wire, etc, mean that their will be very few techs that can work on these b/c the knowledge is not applicable to other brands. That will make repairs always expensive & a small pool of places to get it repaired. What is the shelf-life of this vehicle, it's supply chain, & longevity? I predict a vast number of these vehicles get retired off the roads in 10 years after a major recession & depreciation make them undesirable & impractical to maintain & upkeep.
The U.S Government subsidies certainly help that !! I wasn't aware that the Tesla shareholdrrs had really yet seen a return on investment yet ? 🤔 When I checked a year or more ago the financial reviewers were saying that the Government subsidies were basically keeping the company viable !! I will have to check back again to check your claims of " Profitability " . 🤔
It works until it doesn't anymore. Every part has a lifetime warranty, the part's life it is. Warranty expires 1 milliseconds before the covered part stops working.😊
There's some banter in critique circles that Tesla didn''t want to have side mirrors at all, stemming from an interview with Tesla Staff about how they " Couldn't Change" regulations regarding mirrors on street vehicles. They wanted to have digital displays tied to cameras inside the vehicle in place of mirrors.
The reason a lot of mechanics and engineers are amazed by what tesla is doing is because most of the car industry relies on 3rd party companies to design and build parts for them. There is very little incentive for those 3rd party companies to inovate too much. Tesla designs its own parts with an “outside the box” memtality, because most of them are not from traditional car industry.
and somehow the parts are still garbage. delusional junk. the emperor has no clothes, but the Elon sycophants hoot and holler in absurd produced delight. Elons only genius is getting customers to pay to be beta testers.
Yeah... it's a marvel of engineering, the thermal dynamic heat exchange, and super manifold. The rest kind of ran out of juice in innovation. The thermal dynamic heat exchange and the super manifold just seem like the only thing worth any real value.
I just saw my first one yesterday,here in South Carolina. I see the cars everywhere I go. It has, shall I say, a distinctive look about it. A Tundra, it isn’t.
Saw my first one a few weeks ago in my rearview mirror when traffic was stopped in a construction zone. When I saw that front end in my rearview mirror I literally laughed out loud. Ugliest sight on the road I’ve ever seen. A construction worker standing around went all around it taking pictures and I heard him laughing too.
I live in Los Angeles and I have seen a few cyberattacks around town. I must say they are very big vehicles. They remind me of mid 2000s stainless steel kitchen appliances
Great review! I love how you get into the important things into the electric cars. I ended up getting a BMW i5 eDrive40 earlier this year. I'd love to see your review of that car.
53:00 GM was doing washer nozzels in the wiper blade in the 80s. They work great on my 89 Firebird, and they're hide away wipers. Never understood why GM moved away from that.
Rivian is antithesis of CT. Everything is overengeenered and overcomplicated. T1/R1 - these were their first cars - they simply had no knowledge yet. It it the reason they can't manufacture Rivians profitably, like never. They also move to slowly. They should change nearly all the stuff now, but they had only one major redesign, and it is not radical enough. Rivian has no culture of frugality and efficiency. No culture of efficient manufacturing. Their designers try to make everything cool for the outside obsrver, they add useless features, gimmicks, trims - without thinking about making the car profitable and easy to manufacture. And I'm not optimistic for R2 o R3. Those cars are designed with the same attitude. People will love them, becoause everybody likes to get $50k of engeneering for free. But iti is not the way to make business for long. And so, Rivian has no unique tech to sell. Sure, VW bought into their software, but VW is desperate and extremely incompetent in this area. And Rivian has no electronics on the level of CT, so VW, having software from the last century, just entered into software of the early 2020s. Still a previous generation.
As one of many prod owners of Cybertruck and a content creator, I have to say I appreciate your very clever and honest review about this marvelous piece of technology
I've come back a few times watching this video. This man has everything to lose considering he's an ICE mechanic. Yet, he's giving us an in-depth and honest review of the future. thank you
I still don't understand who it's for 🤔 But for Europe and the UK where I live, I don't have to spend too long thinking about that as it will never pass EuroNcap safety standards 🙄 Thanks for great content though!
12V System would use a lot more copper than 48 volts.( Way higher Amp) Costing way more money to build( $$$ ). 48v to 120ac is way more efficient than 12v to 120ac
The 48 v system is used on my e bike and a whole bunch more. It is similar to the reason why your Windows laptop runs on 12 volts and is capable of far more than 5 volt systems like cell phones. Voltage is the term for Electrical force or pressure. If you touch 5 volts you may not notice. If you touch a 120 VAC line it may be lethal and knock your body flying. 48V motors develop more torque with less waste heat and friction. Edit: electronics like radios, media players, and navigation units can be adapted to 48 volt systems the way 5 volt USB adapters plug into cigarette lighter outlets.
@@websitemartian yea in another vid on youtube where they are taking apart one of these they found a 12v system on the back of the 48v. Yet to document what it powers.
From this review, it would appear that the CyberTruck has evolved into using actual SpaceX tech to miniaturize the mechanicals. My nephew just took delivery, and I'm here to learn what attracted him to this weird thing...lol. Congratulations on a very entertaining, informative video.
My cybertruck does all the "truck stuff" I've ever needed to do. I haul stuff to the dump (without having to add a tarp like our dump requires), I transport 4x8 lumber with no problems, and I pull a heavy trailer (localy) as though it's not even there. And i use it as a daily driver. Like other owners have said, I don't want to got back to driving anything else. I'm hooked. Did it make financial sense? Probably not. But I'm happy.
Yep, most people don’t tow for 300miles, or go off road. For basic truck duty it’s fine in fact most people use their trucks to haul furniture and groceries and that’s it.
I was very impressed with your explanation of the vehicle coming from a person I believe is a true honest mechanic who knows what they are talking about. Well done!
Car safety is about people in the car. If it were about people outside the car, we wouldn’t allow them to go over 25mph. Large vehicles with ‘good’ safety ratings are often more likely to kill people in smaller cars or pedestrians.
Great Review C-C-N ! You covered ALL facets of the electro-mechanical descriptive. It will be extremely interesting to see how well these vehicles retain their durability after several years on the road. We still find the ability to acquire any type of warranty service quite suspect. Many Thanks Yo ! 🔜. 🚘🔍. --- 💸 💸 💸
I’m really surprised you didn’t mention the one-piece mega casting that takes the place of all sorts of little steel stampings welded together to form a subframe.
@@bob-qi4nrunfortunately nothing is designed to be dropped from 10 feet after drive hard over pipes. That moron over tortured CT compared to his rusty ford
The problem with drive by wire is when the vehicle loses power, and then you are 'driving' a brick and your wheels are locked. For reference, I was driving a Prius gen 2 in a parking lot, and it lost engine power. The front display went dead, and it rolled to a stop. I could still steer and brake, but that was it. It turns out it was just a 15 amp microfuse, but this little fuse powered the digital shifter and the start button, so it wouldn't start, and it wouldn't shift out of drive, and was quite difficult to tow, but at least it still steered and braked. I don't know, but I bet somewhere in this thing is a fuse box, and in that box there is a fuse that sends power to the wheel motors and or brake, and if that goes out, this thing is going to either brake on its own if it has some autosafety feature for this, or just roll until it hits something or loses its momentum. This would be a good use of Full Self Driving, if it was working yet...
I always assumed that in this case driver assist will drive you out of traffic, if it detects the failure. Lexus also have this in the RZ and that car also have lane keep and all that stuff as standard.
@@sprinkle61 They work very well, one of my relatives was sleepy going home from another country at night and he was constantly fell asleep and he said he blinked two and his van was already slowing down with emergency blinkers on. (Fully loaded Fiat Ducato) So I assume would do the same as long as the rack works.
ICE vehicles have limited electric energy. EVs have the massive battery pack with lots of redundancy. If you lose the electric power in an EV, you don’t have any motor power either, so loss of steering would be a small part of the problem.
I just got my cybertruck a week ago. Build quality has none of the issues you mentioned. Don't buy the first ones off the line. As for finger prints I don't mind. Most people don't look at your car from a 3 foot distance. And it's a truck. Anyhow, I love it cause it doesn't drive like a truck. It drives like a sports car. And I can haul stuff. Thx for the video.
For more power you need to push either more volts or more amps. In order to get more power on a 12v system, you need to push more amps. To push more ore amps need a big cable, like the thick cables connected to your battery. If you push more volts instead, you can use a much smaller cables. Small wires can carry high voltage. Large wires are needed to carry high amperage. 48v systems are more efficient on power deliver and even more efficient in an auto because of the weight and cost savings in wires alone.
@mcld4214 because it makes no sense unless all your accessories can run at 48V (DC-DC converters are inefficient and expensive) and you can get an inexpensive and compact 48V battery. As it stands the benefit of reduced wiring is small and the full ecosystem of 48V parts doesn't exist. It's a solution in search of a problem.
@@mcld4214 car manufacturers have wanted to go higher voltage for decades, but No one wanted to abandon the entire industries 12v support and part supply. Tesla has the vertical integration and electronic competency to redesign and manufacture the electrical system from scratch. Being more modern and restricted by the old 12v, They also had more advantage/benefit by the upgrade.
This is false. You are applying the rules of AC wiring here. That's not how DC works. Higher DC voltage means you still need bigger cables because DC voltage drops fast, esp at higher voltages. Worse yet, 48 volts is high enough to electrocute you, so now, you have to run 2x the wires instead of just one! And seeing how a great majority of cyberturds are having electrical issues, tesla has no clue how to actually do this.
"Engineering marvel of a tech demo" perfectly sums up this car. It's really exciting to see a group of passionate engineers going outside the box, no matter how bad people may look at it. The supermanifold and etherloop are really intriguing.
And still... I love the sound the door makes when opening. It's just straight out every futuristic movie from the 80's and 90's. And its pretty cool that they had something like "Screw it, we just build it". And the build quality is even worse than other Tesla models but that never stopped people from buying it. It's just like the delorean that was an awful car back in the day but today it's a cult classic. I would never buy a cybertruck (if I had the money) but I can appreciate the fact that it's totally different in every way compared to any other car today. I look at it as an old alfa or Lambo, you hate it or you love it and as long it doesn't rust away or burns to the ground it makes a specific kind of customer very happy.
I LOL'd at your reaction to seeing them drive down the street. I've only seen one around here -- but that's my reaction when I see the hummer's on the road too. So expensive and seemingly just a rich person's status symbol.
Do you need all trucks to look the same to be comfortable in life? Anything different than the norm is bad means innovation doresnt exist in your tiny mind....pitiful.
I have the next generation model, they fixed many of these issues. As far as the mirrors, I disagree, the bottom part is all I need to check my blind spots. The cameras when your turn signal is on are so good that I almost never need the mirrors anyway, they are there as emergency backup and yes compliance.
55:24, Idk why Tesla never mentions this, but there is a manual release in the back doors. You must remove the rubber cover on the bottom of the door pocket. Then remove a plastic square piece cover and last you should see a colored tag that you need to pull, to open it. Idk if it's on the Cybertruck, but it's on the Model Y and 3.
Nice Review I absolutely Love my Cybertruck it drives like a sports car, loaded with cool features and works perfectly for my needs, most of the haters have no idea what it's all about and that's OK with me.
I love my Cybertruck... it is a truck that is more for people who like SUVs. It's a SUV with a nice size truck bed. It's faster than any other truck and the drive by wire steering is revolutionary. Thing handles like a Ferrari and made of stainless steel. 318 miles on a charge, and the sound system is the best out of any vehicle I've ever owned, and I've had 20 other cars and trucks. Don't listen to what people say. Go drive one for yourself!
@sos1723 Spoken like a true hater. Best vehicle I've ever driven, and if anyone who has driven one would be honest with you, they would tell you the same. Has nothing to do with Elon, I don't know him you clown.
Australian Tesla clocks 700,000 km, still saving $20,000 a year in service and fuel costs The Driven first reported on Nigel Raynard in July 2021 when the odometer on his Model S passed the 400,000 km mark, already a huge milestone with the original brake pads lasting much longer than most ICE vehicles. Nigel recently had the vehicle’s second battery pack installed and is now on his second set of brake pads which should be good for another 200,000 km.
Tyler Hoover doesn't make the best car buying decisions at all, though - besides his conversion van. He just buys anything because he's got the funds to do so and create entertainment for us.
Yea the guy who fitted the tow hitch wrong on his lightning aka facing outwards not upwards thus the trailer he was towing was unsecure, oh and he didn't know about eco mode that recalibrates range when towing....
I am curious as to why it would never be a work truck. The review never covered that point, yet he drew that conclusion in the end. I put stuff in the back of mine and haul it from point a to point b. How is that not possible? I see lots of people posting videos and pictures of them using the Cybertruck as a work truck. I see GCs using them to power work sites. So, I’m a bit confused on this conclusion. I will say, other than that unfounded conclusion, this was a very strong review, and he captured a lot of Tesla’s weak and strong points, with too much emphasis on some of the negatives. (Yes, the side and rear view mirrors are horrible, but I really don’t care because I use the cameras. Like he said, they are there for compliance reasons.) But the reviewer really does go into a lot of details about the engineering that I have not seen before-it was great to see it from that viewpoint.
This gentleman gives the best reviews. He considers the vehicles he reviews with an engineer's POV and a mechanic's POV.
@@howsmydriving99 he sure does love his Toyotas, but yeah, i really respect his opinion.
He really likes Yodas, he loves Lexi.
The other car reviewers are a joke. Most other car reviewers will say on this color has changed or there's a different line on the dash, etc etc.

He did similar on the Y, but is even more impressed now... justifiably!
As an Engineer I am not impressed. Perspective matters.

My 6 year old and I saw one in his school parking lot today for the first time. His reaction summed up my feelings. “That car looks so weird.”
There's the problem. Listening to blather from a 6 year old.

@@suhuy2008 I know, It was just a little light ribbing.
Exactly what is designed into autopilots. Every knob, circuit, component that is safety critical is triply redundant. Even the flight computers.
So you do get a constant 'preflight check'. And the electric motors can be messaured for resistance and if there sholud be abnormal voltage drop (worn steering componants), so the steeer by wire might end up beeing as safe as the airplane.

But will they have a 1.21 Gigawatt battery? 😂
Best camera person on RUclips! The visual and detailed explanation is on point. No delay. Ahmed said something about a certain body of the car. The camera gets to that area quickly. It's very comfortable to watch as a car channel. Compare to all the other car channels. Thanks, camera person. 👌👌👌 Ahmed gave the most important questions that I don't know review.

3 sensors for the steering rack is not overkill, if you had 2 and one started sending bad data, how would you know which one was right? There's an old saying "A sailor never goes to sea with two clocks; always take one or three."
4 sensors. 4 is where it's at.
I really appreciate your unique take on the CyberTruck. All the other reviews I've watched have only been showcasing how "crazy" it is in various ways. I'm still not a fan of the truck but you pointing out and talking about the different engineering feats made me have some respect for the vehicle.
Also I had not thought about it as a tech demo before. That was eye-opening.
Yea it is. As you said this is essentially demo vehicle for technology for nextgen models. Mainly model 2 in mind. Quite smart the milk all SUV custumer s market fro its worth. Meanwhile engineers could took higher risks with low production car like CT is.
In other reviews we got lucky if the 48V system was mentioned in passing, and even then it was buried under "this is so cool brah" things/gimmicks...or at least of the 4 reviews I've seen with this one regarding this car. I kind of avoid content on it save for a few sources.
As AMD puts it, I'm all onboard and I can see the value, heck if those early adopters want to pay the early adopter price for tech that will then trickle down, cool go for it. But it's some of the other things as he mentions and a bunch he, understandably, avoided that make me really dislike what the truck has become to mean. At the very least I hope, though I expect to be wrong, that this is the peak, or near it, of huge oversized cars for less than 6 people...I want to see smaller, more efficient packaging in cars, I don't want it to keep escalating into a urban war of who can get the biggest car to bully others around in.
@@alesksander You need at least 80 grand to get one. You don't have to get the dual motor like this one. Actually I think I could get one at around 65K, Seems like a better deal than just a 4X4 F-150 because those old designs are boring to me.
Agreed and I had similar thoughts since the preview vidoes... This could have been the new Model 3 or a million dollar super luery vechilce... But it isn't it's a weird dispointing comrppromise.
@@metalmike570 Yeah quirky is right word. If it would be normal truck it would just fall between all other SUV trucks. SO i can admire Musk and his team said "f this shi* just build it."
@17:37 - Remember Ohm's law AMD. V = IR. You increase voltage at the same resistance, you current will increase as well. They are directly proportional, not indirectly. I think what you are referring to is if power (P = VA) consumption is kept the same, and you increase the voltage, then yes current will decrease. For example, lets say a car consumes 240W on a 12V battery, the load will be 20 amps. On a 48V battery, at 240W, that load is decreased to 5A
Absolutely right. It was a slip on the part of the Car Care Nut!
yes, your current decreases linearly with voltage, so x4 on the voltage means 1/4 on the current and 1/2 on the cross section diameters of the wires (surface is 1/4), right ?
Yes he said BS. Joule heating is P= IV = V^2/R and so greater with greater voltage. Probably either the wires are chosen resistive to reduce current within or not all of battery voltage powers the small element but say single battery cell, instead.
But isn't it an AC motor, so the equations go out the window, since phase angle, frequency, etc enter into the picture.
P = VI is the same for AC voltage as long as RMS is used. Regardless of what AMD said, that is what he meant. The guy knows his electronics pretty well.

I haven't even come close to finishing this video, but I have to say, I absolutely love the way you approach car reviews. For tech geeks like me, it really is a breath of fresh air. So far, I've watched the GR Corolla one and some of this and there was no way I wasn't going to subscribe. It's incredible how you explain everything at the micro level. I'll most certainly learn a ton from your videos! Keep up the great work.

Excellent review - I learn so much about the vehicle - both "that is crazy well done" and "that is crazy poorly done". Much more interesting than I expected.
Brakes are by wire me thinks
Also it's a great car that does a great portion of truck stuff
Think Camino, ford ranchero but better
You are correct about the mirrors. They were forced to add mirrors - so they've been designed to be removed once NHTSA approves. Same with the tonneau cover - the cameras are replacing the mirrors. It feels strange but works very well.
Of all the Cybertruck reviews that I’ve seen, this was the best one. Keep up the good work AMD. The videography is also very good.
AMD is the best, but Whistlin' Diesel's torture test is not to be missed.

Brilliant review AMD. Thank you. May I add one point? Tesla is also reinventing the 60 yrs old CAN system with a system called Etherloop (ethernet loop). There is ethernet communication inside the car. That is also something that is unheard of.
Tesla did not invent Ethernet on a car misinformation man!

57:00 With a normal rearview mirror, the image is far away, so you don't have to refocus your vision to glance at it. A screen showing a rearview camera image, however, presents the image close to the viewer which requires refocusing from far to near, then back to far to look out the windshield. That transition takes time!
Ya, i hate camera rear view mirrors. What u said is true, one has to get use to it and that is an issue when u hv other cars in the garage. I never feel satisfied with the camera. Maybe it is just me.

those Space X engineers had some spare time on their hands.
nah. spaceX is actually doing good with their space rockets. Tesla is just squandering everything about themselves
Do you know that the Stainless Steel is the same material used for the Starship?it is 30 X superhardened.
To understand why Tesla is "10 miles ahead", look under the hood of the Ford Mach E.
Yeah, but they stranded two astronauts. Two astronauts are right now exposed to cosmic rays of every kind and other hazard because the vehicle failed and the backup vehicle failed. I am a veteran, though I never worked for NASA, it used to get my back up when some political bonehead would squawk the hundred dollar hammer anecdotes. I never saw that but all an our tools and parts were custom made to specific tolerances. We had to be able to grab whatever out of a box and possibly save lives and property with them. Even an entire ship or base might be saved because of one person repairing the fire suppression equipment while the power is out and they’re taking on water. Confidence in chaos comes from drilling and practicing with familiar equipment.
@@GotKimchiI see more Tesla's on the road everyday. Narrative building is not working.
"What can i put here, a couple feathers?" Lol
I got to say that the steer by wire is implemented very well. The CT drives like a dream. Amazing once you get used to it,. Going back to my GMC is painful.
Very interesting and informative review. I do own a Cybertruck now. Filled up the back with three bikes and a bunch of SCUBA gear. Hauled t from California to Arizona went very well. Also, my wife is a SCUBA instructor. she hauls tanks and all the gear in the back and also a trailer on occasion. Yes, it does take an eight minute charge on the way back home with the trailer. Without the trailer. It’s to the lake and back without a problem (156 miles). Everything is a compromise, but this vehicle is phenomenal in so many aspects. :-) It’s only drawback is relatively limited range. Most comfortable vehicle I have ever driven. Thank you for the review. We do use it as a truck!
If range is vital someone could always get the STING: Baja upfit from Archimedes Defense. They install an aviation grade multi-fuel generator in the frunk, allowing the CT to recharge as it goes.

The thing that blows my mind about the temperature management is not the brilliant engineering (even though that is impressive) but the fact that they were able to do it so it could be produced for a price that allows Tesla to be one of the two profitable EV makers in the world (the other is BYD).
It's only profitable while the fad & novelty of EV tech is still in the mania phase, such that those with money to splurge buy it for exclusivity & bragging or virtue-signaling rights. As soon as the supply of idiots with money to burn starts to taper, they are going to have huge price drops like the rest of the Teslas & the demand will quickly diminish. There's a reason why Tesla has so many pokers in the fire, it's to substitute into their financials once the mania from the prior product dies & the economics of reality begin to assert themselves. The novel technology in this car (like 48V), steer by wire, etc, mean that their will be very few techs that can work on these b/c the knowledge is not applicable to other brands. That will make repairs always expensive & a small pool of places to get it repaired. What is the shelf-life of this vehicle, it's supply chain, & longevity? I predict a vast number of these vehicles get retired off the roads in 10 years after a major recession & depreciation make them undesirable & impractical to maintain & upkeep.
The U.S Government subsidies certainly help that !! I wasn't aware that the Tesla shareholdrrs had really yet seen a return on investment yet ? 🤔
When I checked a year or more ago the financial reviewers were saying that the Government subsidies were basically keeping the company viable !!
I will have to check back again to check your claims of " Profitability " .
🤔
16:13 "unless you have issues, you'll never have to deal with it." Lol that's the case with absolutely everything everywhere always.
It works until it doesn't anymore. Every part has a lifetime warranty, the part's life it is. Warranty expires 1 milliseconds before the covered part stops working.😊
There's some banter in critique circles that Tesla didn''t want to have side mirrors at all, stemming from an interview with Tesla Staff about how they " Couldn't Change" regulations regarding mirrors on street vehicles. They wanted to have digital displays tied to cameras inside the vehicle in place of mirrors.
As long as the inner part behind the screen is called the dash, no matter what. Or whatever material it uses or where the firewall iis.
The reason a lot of mechanics and engineers are amazed by what tesla is doing is because most of the car industry relies on 3rd party companies to design and build parts for them. There is very little incentive for those 3rd party companies to inovate too much. Tesla designs its own parts with an “outside the box” memtality, because most of them are not from traditional car industry.
And when you purchase parts from tesla theres no mark up
and somehow the parts are still garbage. delusional junk. the emperor has no clothes, but the Elon sycophants hoot and holler in absurd produced delight. Elons only genius is getting customers to pay to be beta testers.
Didn't expect this 😂
Beautifully efficient very well engineered machine❤
Yeah... it's a marvel of engineering, the thermal dynamic heat exchange, and super manifold. The rest kind of ran out of juice in innovation. The thermal dynamic heat exchange and the super manifold just seem like the only thing worth any real value.
I just saw my first one yesterday,here in South Carolina. I see the cars everywhere I go. It has, shall I say, a distinctive look about it. A Tundra, it isn’t.
I too saw my first one here in Texas about a week ago. Just as ugly as I had pictured.
Saw my first one a few weeks ago in my rearview mirror when traffic was stopped in a construction zone. When I saw that front end in my rearview mirror I literally laughed out loud. Ugliest sight on the road I’ve ever seen. A construction worker standing around went all around it taking pictures and I heard him laughing too.
Tesla was successful but their days are numbered. Nothing coming out of Tesla land and they have too many cars just sitting on lots.

Great review! I love how you get into the important things into the electric cars. I ended up getting a BMW i5 eDrive40 earlier this year. I'd love to see your review of that car.
53:00 GM was doing washer nozzels in the wiper blade in the 80s. They work great on my 89 Firebird, and they're hide away wipers. Never understood why GM moved away from that.
Cost, I would wager.
The GM wet arm sprayer design was great in cold climates.
Hidden wipers were a big pain in the butt in the winter time when snow and ice got lodged around them.
Ford was doing that in the 70's.
It has to be cost that’s all GM cares about $$$
You gotta review a Rivian now.
Lets import a BYD to have it reviewed by the CCN
@@soliniv1411he should review the Yangwang 😭
Rivian is antithesis of CT. Everything is overengeenered and overcomplicated. T1/R1 - these were their first cars - they simply had no knowledge yet. It it the reason they can't manufacture Rivians profitably, like never. They also move to slowly. They should change nearly all the stuff now, but they had only one major redesign, and it is not radical enough.
Rivian has no culture of frugality and efficiency. No culture of efficient manufacturing. Their designers try to make everything cool for the outside obsrver, they add useless features, gimmicks, trims - without thinking about making the car profitable and easy to manufacture. And I'm not optimistic for R2 o R3. Those cars are designed with the same attitude. People will love them, becoause everybody likes to get $50k of engeneering for free. But iti is not the way to make business for long. And so, Rivian has no unique tech to sell. Sure, VW bought into their software, but VW is desperate and extremely incompetent in this area. And Rivian has no electronics on the level of CT, so VW, having software from the last century, just entered into software of the early 2020s. Still a previous generation.
He asked Car Care Nut to review the Rivian, not AndrewSienx.

The full 48v system is crazy if you think about it, very surprised to see no 12v at all
12V System would use a lot more copper than 48 volts.( Way higher Amp) Costing way more money to build( $$$ ). 48v to 120ac is way more efficient than 12v to 120ac
i thought it had a 12v system aswell
@websitemartian they do have 12-volt system but it's rated at 15 volts
The 48 v system is used on my e bike and a whole bunch more. It is similar to the reason why your Windows laptop runs on 12 volts and is capable of far more than 5 volt systems like cell phones. Voltage is the term for Electrical force or pressure. If you touch 5 volts you may not notice. If you touch a 120 VAC line it may be lethal and knock your body flying. 48V motors develop more torque with less waste heat and friction.
Edit: electronics like radios, media players, and navigation units can be adapted to 48 volt systems the way 5 volt USB adapters plug into cigarette lighter outlets.
@@websitemartian yea in another vid on youtube where they are taking apart one of these they found a 12v system on the back of the 48v. Yet to document what it powers.
From this review, it would appear that the CyberTruck has evolved into using actual SpaceX tech to miniaturize the mechanicals. My nephew just took delivery, and I'm here to learn what attracted him to this weird thing...lol. Congratulations on a very entertaining, informative video.
My cybertruck does all the "truck stuff" I've ever needed to do. I haul stuff to the dump (without having to add a tarp like our dump requires), I transport 4x8 lumber with no problems, and I pull a heavy trailer (localy) as though it's not even there. And i use it as a daily driver. Like other owners have said, I don't want to got back to driving anything else. I'm hooked. Did it make financial sense? Probably not. But I'm happy.
Yep, most people don’t tow for 300miles, or go off road. For basic truck duty it’s fine in fact most people use their trucks to haul furniture and groceries and that’s it.

Car safety is about people in the car. If it were about people outside the car, we wouldn’t allow them to go over 25mph. Large vehicles with ‘good’ safety ratings are often more likely to kill people in smaller cars or pedestrians.
Great Review C-C-N ! You covered ALL facets of the electro-mechanical descriptive.

I love how it looks.
& It's so different from anything else out there.
I love your passion for cars which transfer into your knowledge of cars. I'm amazed you know so much about Tesla cars which is a whole different breed
The problem with drive by wire is when the vehicle loses power, and then you are 'driving' a brick and your wheels are locked. For reference, I was driving a Prius gen 2 in a parking lot, and it lost engine power. The front display went dead, and it rolled to a stop. I could still steer and brake, but that was it. It turns out it was just a 15 amp microfuse, but this little fuse powered the digital shifter and the start button, so it wouldn't start, and it wouldn't shift out of drive, and was quite difficult to tow, but at least it still steered and braked. I don't know, but I bet somewhere in this thing is a fuse box, and in that box there is a fuse that sends power to the wheel motors and or brake, and if that goes out, this thing is going to either brake on its own if it has some autosafety feature for this, or just roll until it hits something or loses its momentum. This would be a good use of Full Self Driving, if it was working yet...
I always assumed that in this case driver assist will drive you out of traffic, if it detects the failure. Lexus also have this in the RZ and that car also have lane keep and all that stuff as standard.
@@ezustnyil8414 That would be smart, but since I have no experience with it, I don't know what would happen.
@@sprinkle61 They work very well, one of my relatives was sleepy going home from another country at night and he was constantly fell asleep and he said he blinked two and his van was already slowing down with emergency blinkers on.

@@ezustnyil8414 Good to know, as a power loss of some kind is sure to happen sometime, and a full power loss is not off the table.
ICE vehicles have limited electric energy. EVs have the massive battery pack with lots of redundancy. If you lose the electric power in an EV, you don’t have any motor power either, so loss of steering would be a small part of the problem.
I just got my cybertruck a week ago. Build quality has none of the issues you mentioned. Don't buy the first ones off the line. As for finger prints I don't mind. Most people don't look at your car from a 3 foot distance. And it's a truck. Anyhow, I love it cause it doesn't drive like a truck. It drives like a sports car. And I can haul stuff. Thx for the video.
First video, a few minutes watching you talk and I subscribed immediately
my neighbor drives this to Home Depot all the time, hauling wood. So yes, you can use it as a truck.
For more power you need to push either more volts or more amps. In order to get more power on a 12v system, you need to push more amps. To push more ore amps need a big cable, like the thick cables connected to your battery. If you push more volts instead, you can use a much smaller cables. Small wires can carry high voltage. Large wires are needed to carry high amperage. 48v systems are more efficient on power deliver and even more efficient in an auto because of the weight and cost savings in wires alone.
@@zaphods2ndhead193 stout observation. Higher voltage will allow for weight reduction of the electrical delivery system.
So Why aren’t modern cars 48 volt systems? And can i convert my 12v car to 48?
@mcld4214 because it makes no sense unless all your accessories can run at 48V (DC-DC converters are inefficient and expensive) and you can get an inexpensive and compact 48V battery. As it stands the benefit of reduced wiring is small and the full ecosystem of 48V parts doesn't exist. It's a solution in search of a problem.
@@mcld4214 car manufacturers have wanted to go higher voltage for decades, but No one wanted to abandon the entire industries 12v support and part supply. Tesla has the vertical integration and electronic competency to redesign and manufacture the electrical system from scratch. Being more modern and restricted by the old 12v, They also had more advantage/benefit by the upgrade.
This is false. You are applying the rules of AC wiring here. That's not how DC works. Higher DC voltage means you still need bigger cables because DC voltage drops fast, esp at higher voltages.
Worse yet, 48 volts is high enough to electrocute you, so now, you have to run 2x the wires instead of just one!
And seeing how a great majority of cyberturds are having electrical issues, tesla has no clue how to actually do this.
Thx that was a great video, nicely done! Well presented and honest, I'm your new subscriber!
"Engineering marvel of a tech demo" perfectly sums up this car. It's really exciting to see a group of passionate engineers going outside the box, no matter how bad people may look at it. The supermanifold and etherloop are really intriguing.
And still... I love the sound the door makes when opening. It's just straight out every futuristic movie from the 80's and 90's. And its pretty cool that they had something like "Screw it, we just build it". And the build quality is even worse than other Tesla models but that never stopped people from buying it. It's just like the delorean that was an awful car back in the day but today it's a cult classic. I would never buy a cybertruck (if I had the money) but I can appreciate the fact that it's totally different in every way compared to any other car today. I look at it as an old alfa or Lambo, you hate it or you love it and as long it doesn't rust away or burns to the ground it makes a specific kind of customer very happy.
I LOL'd at your reaction to seeing them drive down the street. I've only seen one around here -- but that's my reaction when I see the hummer's on the road too. So expensive and seemingly just a rich person's status symbol.
I saw one on the highway recently and it reminded me of Mad Max and not in a good way. Very ominous looking vehicles.
That truck looks like it belong in a kitchen next to the stainless steel fridge and the dishwasher
Do you need all trucks to look the same to be comfortable in life? Anything different than the norm is bad means innovation doresnt exist in your tiny mind....pitiful.
😂😂😂
I think the steel is too rigid to roll the edges. Personally, I think the rough edges are cool. This car is rock n roll, not smooth jazz.
I have the next generation model, they fixed many of these issues. As far as the mirrors, I disagree, the bottom part is all I need to check my blind spots. The cameras when your turn signal is on are so good that I almost never need the mirrors anyway, they are there as emergency backup and yes compliance.
55:24, Idk why Tesla never mentions this, but there is a manual release in the back doors. You must remove the rubber cover on the bottom of the door pocket. Then remove a plastic square piece cover and last you should see a colored tag that you need to pull, to open it. Idk if it's on the Cybertruck, but it's on the Model Y and 3.
3 has no manual release for rear door. Y and CT hides beneath some mat good luck fumbling with it in an emergency.

@@gregblau8082 yep irecieved the same inspiration. Dystopia, cheese.
It's not a dystopia if you have a choice not to buy it.
It's actually something from 2023, designed in the last few years.
When a Delorean and Pontiac Aztec has a baby. It gets teased in school. Where everyone tells him " Your Mama Says You're Ugly!"
Australian Tesla clocks 700,000 km, still saving $20,000 a year in service and fuel costs
The Driven first reported on Nigel Raynard in July 2021 when the odometer on his Model S passed the 400,000 km mark, already a huge milestone with the original brake pads lasting much longer than most ICE vehicles. Nigel recently had the vehicle’s second battery pack installed and is now on his second set of brake pads which should be good for another 200,000 km.
Love this, thanks for going so in-depth!
Hoovie of Hoovie's Garage immediately sold his, that's all one needs to know.
Tyler Hoover doesn't make the best car buying decisions at all, though - besides his conversion van. He just buys anything because he's got the funds to do so and create entertainment for us.
That's because they are depreciating as fast as concrete blocks drop in the ocean.
Yea the guy who fitted the tow hitch wrong on his lightning aka facing outwards not upwards thus the trailer he was towing was unsecure, oh and he didn't know about eco mode that recalibrates range when towing....
I am curious as to why it would never be a work truck. The review never covered that point, yet he drew that conclusion in the end. I put stuff in the back of mine and haul it from point a to point b. How is that not possible? I see lots of people posting videos and pictures of them using the Cybertruck as a work truck. I see GCs using them to power work sites. So, I’m a bit confused on this conclusion.
I will say, other than that unfounded conclusion, this was a very strong review, and he captured a lot of Tesla’s weak and strong points, with too much emphasis on some of the negatives. (Yes, the side and rear view mirrors are horrible, but I really don’t care because I use the cameras. Like he said, they are there for compliance reasons.) But the reviewer really does go into a lot of details about the engineering that I have not seen before-it was great to see it from that viewpoint.
Yeah but he also traded a gen 1 Viper for an ugly ass mustang that I see one of every single day. I agree though, about the cybertruck.
They should have used the fingerprint-free stainless steel like I have on my appliances 🙂
This is not the same stainless, it’s a very strong stainless steel. Thats why you can beat it and kick it, and it won’t dent.
@@user-ln7of9gs4sget a job lil bro. Not one person in the world cares about you glazing an ugly truck. So sad.
I for one, am glad that decision wasn't left in your hands. Unless of course, your fridge exceeds a 62 on the Rockwell scale.
@@user-ln7of9gs4syou just stay away from my car, buddy 😝
The truth is all you need is windex and a rag to clean the fingerprints. There are a few owners on here that said it.
