    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.

    @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 ?

    • @albondar
      @albondar Месяц назад +1

      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.

      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.

    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.

      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.

    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.

      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!

    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...

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.

    I don’t get why he keeps saying you can’t use it as a truck? Why not? It has a very usable bed (with a superior retractable tonneau cover). It has an impressive payload. It can drive on any unpaved road that you’d need to.
    His only argument seems to be “it costs $100K” and he doesn’t like the way it looks. Lots of trucks costs over $100K!
    But here’s the thing: it’s not going to cost $100K for much longer. In a few months, they will start offering the $80K version. And that one qualifies for a $7500 tax credit. So $72,500 for a Cybertruck! That’s when I will absolutely buy. I put my $100 deposit down in early 2021, so I’m hoping I will be driving one of these by late 2025.
    Otherwise, this was one of the most informative videos on the CT that I’ve ever seen!

    The review was refreshing. I'll be getting the CT when it drops to regular price. I would like to know why he doesn't think it's a work truck? I believe he said it would be if it's $60-70K. The single motor variant will be that price. Also, with the 240V 11.5KW power in the back, you can run welders, compressors, and radial saws. With short range towing tasks, RUclips farmers are saying they are saving lots of money on gas. Yes, tools may be hard to reach, can't tow far, and can't tow a fifth wheel, but knowing the limitations, it can be a great work truck. I will use it as a extended battery supply for my off grid solar setup. The inverter can run up to 10 tons of mini-split HVAC systems, which will cover 5-8,000 sqft for 12hrs full on, or double or triple that once upon reaching steady temps. With sentry mode, it gives you 360 degree motion activated security cameras for your job site or at home. Add Full Self Driving and driving around to clients and job sites will be a lot less stressful and more relaxing, even in traffic. Plus, there are no off days for servicing, such as oil change, brake jobs, timing belt changes, radiator, water pump replacement, fluid changes, fuel filters, oxygen sensors, etc..... .Tesla FSD is pretty good now. I use it 95% of the time. There's so much more. I currently have an F250 and a Model S Plaid, so I'm coming from both ends. I also own a Model 3 for 5 years, and other than tires, one service. Tesla came to me to replace a 12V battery, around $100, I think.

      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.

    Non-engineers don't understand that complex is actually easy. Simple is hard. Come on industry.. Catch up to Tesla! As to casting, probably sand cast knuckles, and die cast tie rod ends maybe? I wonder why the upper arm is steel? The load on the upper are is very low. when the glass comes up, its a little truck shape - looks cool. Also makes a door handle. Also if its got good regen, you wouldn't think it needs very big brakes. On steer by wire, I'd assume the car won't drive it it gets a component failure fault so I have no concerns about safety. The most dangerous thing about it is probably the likely nutjob behind the wheel. PS... "Theme from Dukes of Hazzard" on the radio... lol.

    Great Review. Though I'd strongly disagree with a few key points.
    1. I use it every day as a truck and it replaced my truck. What exactly would you define as truck stuff? I can see maybe a 5th wheel or if you are constantly hauling heavy loads more than 200+ miles a day. But I dare say it fits 80% of truck stuff the avg truck buyer buys a truck for. I can't wrap my head around why you so emphatically say it can't do truck stuff. It's a fantastic truck!
    2. The stainless still is ridiculously easy to clean. Windex and a rag. That's all you need. It does show finger prints pretty easily, I'll give you that, but unless you are constantly touching the entires surface of the exterior, they'll only be on the edge of the door. One quick wipe takes care of them when they start to get noticable. In fact, I realized I can easily clean the entire truck with windex and a rag in a few minutes. Try that with a regular painted car without making a huge swirly mess. 🤷‍♂
    3. Side view mirrors are fine. I have had not problem adjusting to them. Though as simple fix for the rear view mirror would to have put the camera screen there and make it big. Probably the one thing I wish they'd done differently... other than more range.
    There are a couple things that you pointed out with the interior such as the fold down cup holder and the center console that a bit chincy but everything else is so unexepectly enjoyable, they have quickly become less than an afterthought in my minde. Love this truck!
    And another thing about that crazy truck bed. It's freaking amazing! Until the Cybertruck I always hated the covers, but also hated picking big things up at the store tha thad to go in the truck. That meant I couldn't go anywhere else for fear that it woudl be stolen out of the back while I was in another store. Not with the Cybertruck. Just throw it all in the back, close the cover, and BOOM... off to the next store(s). OR out mountain biking and want to stop for lunch. Just lay it down in the bed with all my gear, close the cover.... worry free lunch.

      1. TFL truck did a video showing why it isn't good for truck stuff. At 10,000 pounds when towing. The thing started gorging electricity. I mean your talking basically being limited to visiting your local lake and back home if you have one near by and that's it. The Frunk also while long yes. Is tapered towards the front. Meaning ors width isn't the same the full length of the bed. Making putting long and wide cargo basically impossible or at least unsecured and unsafe if it exceeds the front width if the Frunk. Another issued with the Frunk is the side beign to tall. You need to be at least 6,4 to 7 ft and above to have the reach to grab anything in the bed from the side and even at 6,4 you can't even touch the bottom of the bed.
      2. I've washed off my Ram 3500 with nothing but wipes from and Amor all kit. Widnex isn't and issue for streaks unless it's hot and super sunny outside as the windex even on windshields will start immediately evaporating an leaving residue in those conditions. But do it in the cool of the morning and yoru fine as long as it isn't covered in a thick layer of something.
      Finally as far as truck beds are concerned. Hardened powered retractable and extendable beds have been on trucks long before Cybertruck was even a fetus of an idea. I'll give you that I don't expect everyone to like the more traditional tonnea fold covers even though they lock with the tailgate and many are resistant to theft to a pretty good degree. Installing them I least can see as a hassle for some individuals. I do want to point out though that bed cover on the Cybertruck is known to be pretty poor in reliability compared to the rest of the industry. Frequently it starts to get off able on the track leaving a quite noticeable and exploitative gap at the end of the Frunk when closed.
