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.

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.
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.
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!
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 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.
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.
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?
I was walking in the parking lot of a grocery store when a very young pre-schooler standing with his father told me it looked like a transformer. His father asked how I liked it.
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
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.
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.
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.
Intelligent, thoughtful, and useful reviews. Specifies when it’s an opinion and when it’s simply against industry norms. Incredible channel, keep up the great work!
@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.
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.
@@bencrilly209😂😂they set the price, they don't allow aftermarket 😅. Of course there the cheapest and only ones. Also.the parts are MUCH more money than a normal combustion car
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!
Hi AMD. Glad I stumbled onto this review. Agree with all. WRT CyberTruck as "experiment", yes and: It's a technology demonstration platform. Using a new, lower-volume model de-risks 48v, etherloop, steer-by-wire, eliminating mirrors, etc. re "Only Tesla gets away with this.": True! And I'm so happy there's a cohort of alpha testers dropping $100k for the honor.
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."
Thanks for the remarkably fair and balanced review. This vehicle is extremely flawed and impractical, but I'm sure it will be satisfactory for robots that do not have to worry about ergonomics or esthetics.
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.
It relies on a single CAN-bus running around in the car. So, in case of an electrical failure, unfortunately, the driver loses all the observation tools, as well as control over the car...
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!
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 worked at TRW when they were developing "powertronic steering." (I was in the semiconductor division, and we consulted on things like smart airbag controllers.) The big debate at the time was whether or not to include a mechanical link between the steering wheel and the tie rod.
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.
I own a Cybertruck. I thought it was a crazy idea to remove the side mirrors but I realized I barely look at them anymore. The side cameras give a better view of my blindspot and allllll the way back into the lanes next to me.
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.
If you do not like one side panel fitting go to the other side ! I actually like both sides fitting , I like variety. Not symetrical ? awesome ! Too sharp for you ? Too bad.
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.
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.
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.
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.😊
Excellent review. Just a small clarification: ICE cars have massive cables from the battery to power the starter, which doesn't exist in electric or hybrid cars. A Prius does not have a large cable either.
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.
I own one and love it. To me it’s simple - if you want to stay with everything that’s predictable and the same don’t get it you’ll be happier with the normal stuff. If you like the idea of new innovations, you understand that these things by nature can’t be perfect otherwise we would not expand and grow. The mold breaks and it’s a little jarring for some who expect all smooth sailing. That’s not Tesla
Owning one of these is just like hanging a sign around your neck that I have so much money, it's not something I care about - and then there's the attention you'll get. A metal brick with Mattel fit'n'finish, for $100K.. or pardon me, $75K for cheaper model, is silly. Going groceries and commuting in a big metal brick is ridiculous. But hey, there are lots of people with money to blow, I guess. Have fun with that Big life-size Matchbox toy car you got. I wouldn't buy that if I won the lottery.
Fair points on some of the trim and fit n' finish. I will say that they have improved a lot of this on the 2nd gen, and also: you are paying the $100k to have a giant rolling power wall, incredible acceleration, self driving, it's a rolling super computer. Definitely they cheap out a bit on other things to hit that price point. But, I'm confident they will keep improving, it's the Tesla way.
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
Except that current does increase with the voltage if you keep the resistance the same. I think you wanted to say power instead of resistance. :P Great video and best review of the truck I have seen!
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.
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!
On the steering components, the ugly finish parts are probably castings and the nice finish ones are forged. That would be typical of any mechanical construction components, whether building cars, airplanes, boats or construction equipment. Your videos are very compelling. I enjoy them very much.
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.
That would be a good way to describe it a work of art made to look at because it's not a truck my proof as if you have eyes look at what people do with trucks if you use a truck you reach over the side a lot so you don't want the side to be higher you carry stuff in the back of the truck my truck always has an air compressor and a toolbox on the back sad little goofy compartment underneath is pointless just a place for dirt and water to collect and just the very basic simple problems that no other truck brand has but I did have a truck like that once very similar when I was eight years old and I was very proud of my little remote control truck I had a lot of fun pretending that I was working
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
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 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.
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.
I have found that the pillar doesn't block my view, and looking forward it feels super awesome and open, and others have commented the same who have tried out my truck. Just sayin', I notice a lot of reviewers saying this and I just don't find it so. The thing to remember is that this is really a super car / sports car, that also functions as a truck. And ... I'm not sure why he claimed the bed isn't usable ... that's insane I've used it plenty and it's fantastic. Just not sure what the complaint was about the bed?
*NOT IN 100 MILLION YEARS* is that ever getting licensed for sale in the EU - that is such a dangerous machine for pedestrians That front edge will cut giant chunks out of anyone it hits - you are driving 2 stainless steel blades down the road.

@@drayke8886 YES - and they are stopping the import of the giant-sized regular pickup trucks as well, thank God. These have become a menace in my city. They are gigantic, they cant see children and old people who are often crossing the road and the biggest issue is the type of person who imports them, basically the type of person who made the comment above yours here. Terrible people.
Great video. It explained this vehicle better than anything I've ran across. To me, when you add the inconvenience of charging vs. petrol replenishment, then throw in the ugly polarizing appearance I see a case for purchasing a ICE powered truck all day long. Not to mention the cost and that most folks are finding they prefer theirs wrapped. That is unless you want to stick out and a massive gold chain with alligator boots ain't getting it anymore. Tacky, over nerdy 10X.
Great review. Actually heard AMD laugh for the first time during a review when examining the wiper blade. The big floppy blade is definitely chuckle worthy. Cheers.
Cool until it hits a pedestrian because you have to glace down to the tablet to see your instrument cluster. A sharp edged truck that's heavy, high, and fast for its size, what could go wrong with requiring you to also take your eyes off the road? Frankly this thing shouldn't be street legal, and isn't in Europe.
@@justalurker3489 You have to glance down at a speedometer too. The eye travel is the same. Except in the Cybertruck, you have far more safety features like FSD. And Europe is full of cucks, not worth mentioning lol
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 was interested in your explanation of the door handles, because there was a fatal Cybertruck accident near me recently. It ran into a tree at high speed. No other vehicles were involved. A fire started. A witness was able to get one person out of the vehicle. Three persons were unable to get out, and died. I don't know if they were all incapacitated, or just unable to get out due to confusion or to the opener not working.
Some good information and good pictures of the equipment, but way too many ads to deal with. Would be nice to see how to remove plastic cover under the frunk including the torque values to reinstall it. And... I do use this as a truck everyday. It is not a gimmick.
@@Amir-ie2yzyou’re full of crap. It can’t tow. My ford Tremor can go 700 miles on one tank and in 5 minutes can go another 700 miles. It will also go off road just as good or better.

@@jimsteinway695 As far an innovation is it far more innovative than your Tremor. It may only tow half as far, but I saw a video of one towing and the Cybertruck beat the regular one from A to B.
About the lamp with 15V. It is maybe how they are connected. If you connect the load/lamp in seriell, then the voltage will decrease. So, three lamp with 15V in seriell givs 15+15+15=45V, near enough to 48V
@@DavidZ123 there are no issues with charging or range anxiety. Especially for people with their own place. It’s relatively simple and cheap to install a charger that would meet anyone’s needs.
@@DavidZ123 The cybertruck is my first EV. I can wake up with over 300 miles of range and have Superchargers EVERYWHERE. How often do you go further than that in a day?
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.
I will buy it as a Work Truck for my Farm in Germany, no matter what you say 🤪 Love the stainless steel. I dont care about finger prints, didnt wash my Model 3 for years ^^ No more scratches, rust and dents :)
Others on this thread are saying they just use windex and a rag for fingerprints, it's very easy. And it's a good work truck you're right. Send me some schnitzel!
Big fan of this channel...As always, great in-depth review. At 43:00, I noticed that the side glass opened only a little when the car was unlocked. If you noticed, it's the shape of the Cybertruck icon which you'll also see on the steering wheel. Also, I had a very bad experience earlier this year with Model Y during cold weather. On that day I learned if the 12V battery was dead (for no reason, as it was a brand-new car), it required opening the door manually to get out of the car, and when you do that, the glass would not come down slightly as it normally does, that means you can't close the door back or it'll break the side glass. A very horrible experience that day due to several issues with it and was dead on the highway. Be careful taking any EV car for a long trip, especially in the Winter.
Not sure why this would not be used as a work truck. You didn't specify what are the weaknesses. Other work trucks do not have air suspensions and have poor driving performance compared to the Cybertruck. That is worth the money to some people. Non-truck buyers are purchasing the Cybertruck. The stainless steel is hard to clean but the armor protection and low cost of replacement makes it worthwhile.
I've found my stainless steel to be super easy to keep clean. A little windex and a rag does the trick. In fact, I'd say it is easier to clean than my other cars. My Cybertruck was hit by the sprinklers on one side. Noticed it when I pulled it into my garage. Not a problem. Hit the whole side with windex and a rag and in about 2 minutes good as new. I'd never try that on my painted cars as it would swirl and damage the paint. Also love going to the grocery store and not worrying about where I park for fear of getting door dinged. And I too use it as a truck. In fact, sold my gas truck when I bought this.

So it's the inclusion of extra components which are not strictly necessary to functioning, in case of failure in other components?
@@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.
@@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.
Thanks! Can't wait for the Roadster 2 review (and you don't want to be there for flying cars!)

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!
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.

THE SUPER MANIFOLD - not sure I’ve ever seen you this excited before…
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.
He did geek out a lil bit.
He did similar on the Y, but is even more impressed now... justifiably!
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?
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.
I was walking in the parking lot of a grocery store when a very young pre-schooler standing with his father told me it looked like a transformer. His father asked how I liked it.
It’s different! But amazing!

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!

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!
There should be Elon stock you can buy!!!
I have some Tesla and now I have no more to invest!!
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
Come here to gain knowledge not to criticize
Intelligent, thoughtful, and useful reviews. Specifies when it’s an opinion and when it’s simply against industry norms. Incredible channel, keep up the great work!
@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.
Just know AMD. This is the first time I am watching any review of the Cybertruck.
Me too, and I only did it for him because that thing it’s so ugly
@@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.
What is AMD
Same 😂
So?
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.
Thats why there moldings are wavy and the panels all rattle over bumps, and closing the door sounds like a cheap screen door closing 😂
@@bencrilly209😂😂they set the price, they don't allow aftermarket 😅. Of course there the cheapest and only ones. Also.the parts are MUCH more money than a normal combustion car
Like the time in 2020 it was discovered Tesla was using molding from Home Depot to mount a condenser. Brilliant! 😅
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.

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!
José knows his story. Excellent camerawork, always showing exactly what's being talked about by Ahmed 😁👍🏻👍🏻
Hi AMD. Glad I stumbled onto this review. Agree with all. WRT CyberTruck as "experiment", yes and: It's a technology demonstration platform. Using a new, lower-volume model de-risks 48v, etherloop, steer-by-wire, eliminating mirrors, etc. re "Only Tesla gets away with this.": True! And I'm so happy there's a cohort of alpha testers dropping $100k for the honor.
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."

@@blakespower i believe it's the same general dimension as the F-150.

It's not a big truck. It's actually smaller than a Silverado and an F-150.
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.
It relies on a single CAN-bus running around in the car. So, in case of an electrical failure, unfortunately, the driver loses all the observation tools, as well as control over the car...
@oleksandrmatiash3907 Have proof by chance, i would like to see. I believe the steering and breaking have primary, secondary and tertiary systems.
It's a joy to listen to your reviews. It's clear you have a passion and deep knowledge.
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!
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.
I worked at TRW when they were developing "powertronic steering." (I was in the semiconductor division, and we consulted on things like smart airbag controllers.) The big debate at the time was whether or not to include a mechanical link between the steering wheel and the tie rod.
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.
I own a Cybertruck. I thought it was a crazy idea to remove the side mirrors but I realized I barely look at them anymore. The side cameras give a better view of my blindspot and allllll the way back into the lanes next to me.
Strange. The Honda E doesn't have side mirrors.
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.
@@rogerheuckeroth7456 Same here, driving my F150 after getting out of my Cybertruck is like using a push mower after riding a Zero turn mower
I also own a 2022 f250 tremor… going back to that after driving the cybertruck feels like getting in a horse and carriage…

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.
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.

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 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.😊
The more I look at cyber truck more it reminds me of trash bin in the alley.
Toaster.
Sounds like a horse owner looking at a model T
Excellent review. Just a small clarification: ICE cars have massive cables from the battery to power the starter, which doesn't exist in electric or hybrid cars. A Prius does not have a large cable either.
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.
They are hidden to skirt around child lock requirements. Don't need a toddler opening your door to 80 miles an hour and jumping out.
@@河粉-k1hhave a look at the model 3 owners manual online there's a manual release in a similar location.
@@河粉-k1h I believe the refresh model 3 has it. Let me know.
@@WentzCraft They should mention this in the owners manual tho. Unless they already do. Idk. I would need to check.
I own one and love it. To me it’s simple - if you want to stay with everything that’s predictable and the same don’t get it you’ll be happier with the normal stuff. If you like the idea of new innovations, you understand that these things by nature can’t be perfect otherwise we would not expand and grow. The mold breaks and it’s a little jarring for some who expect all smooth sailing. That’s not Tesla
Owning one of these is just like hanging a sign around your neck that I have so much money, it's not something I care about - and then there's the attention you'll get. A metal brick with Mattel fit'n'finish, for $100K.. or pardon me, $75K for cheaper model, is silly. Going groceries and commuting in a big metal brick is ridiculous. But hey, there are lots of people with money to blow, I guess. Have fun with that Big life-size Matchbox toy car you got. I wouldn't buy that if I won the lottery.

Your review...made me actually want one.
Didn't expect this 😂
Fair points on some of the trim and fit n' finish. I will say that they have improved a lot of this on the 2nd gen, and also: you are paying the $100k to have a giant rolling power wall, incredible acceleration, self driving, it's a rolling super computer. Definitely they cheap out a bit on other things to hit that price point. But, I'm confident they will keep improving, it's the Tesla way.
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

Much respect to you. A truly honest reviewer. Finally!
Except that current does increase with the voltage if you keep the resistance the same. I think you wanted to say power instead of resistance. :P Great video and best review of the truck I have seen!
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.
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!
On the steering components, the ugly finish parts are probably castings and the nice finish ones are forged. That would be typical of any mechanical construction components, whether building cars, airplanes, boats or construction equipment. Your videos are very compelling. I enjoy them very much.
I’d love to see you review a BYD Seal so we can get an idea about Chinese build quality.
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. (Fully loaded Fiat Ducato) So I assume would do the same as long as the rack works.
@@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.
Your honesty & knowledge is greatly appreciated.
Good engineering is nice. Great engineering, is a work of art.
That would be a good way to describe it a work of art made to look at because it's not a truck my proof as if you have eyes look at what people do with trucks if you use a truck you reach over the side a lot so you don't want the side to be higher you carry stuff in the back of the truck my truck always has an air compressor and a toolbox on the back sad little goofy compartment underneath is pointless just a place for dirt and water to collect and just the very basic simple problems that no other truck brand has but I did have a truck like that once very similar when I was eight years old and I was very proud of my little remote control truck I had a lot of fun pretending that I was working

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.

@@marcol869 You know you are a psychopath right...? For the sake of your family - get help.
And I'm glad... Just imagine this heavy brick hitting normal sized sedan or combi. But even if legalized nobody would drive it here because reads are way smaller that in USA, not to mention hilariously big turning radius as demonstrated by Rich rebuilds.
@@drayke8886 YES - and they are stopping the import of the giant-sized regular pickup trucks as well, thank God. These have become a menace in my city. They are gigantic, they cant see children and old people who are often crossing the road and the biggest issue is the type of person who imports them, basically the type of person who made the comment above yours here.
Terrible people.
Cybertruck making Europeans cry 😢is hilarious.
The review everyone has been waiting for
No it’s not. I’ve watched reviews of people who actually own these things and they’re not good. Most owners of these pos get rid of them.
Great video. It explained this vehicle better than anything I've ran across. To me, when you add the inconvenience of charging vs. petrol replenishment, then throw in the ugly polarizing appearance I see a case for purchasing a ICE powered truck all day long. Not to mention the cost and that most folks are finding they prefer theirs wrapped. That is unless you want to stick out and a massive gold chain with alligator boots ain't getting it anymore. Tacky, over nerdy 10X.
99% of other car bloggers are either dumb car owners or ' want to be hollywood stars' trying too be clever. this guy is the best on the internet
I love how it looks.
& It's so different from anything else out there.
Great review. Actually heard AMD laugh for the first time during a review when examining the wiper blade. The big floppy blade is definitely chuckle worthy. Cheers.
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.
Cool until it hits a pedestrian because you have to glace down to the tablet to see your instrument cluster. A sharp edged truck that's heavy, high, and fast for its size, what could go wrong with requiring you to also take your eyes off the road? Frankly this thing shouldn't be street legal, and isn't in Europe.
@@justalurker3489 You have to glance down at a speedometer too. The eye travel is the same. Except in the Cybertruck, you have far more safety features like FSD. And Europe is full of cucks, not worth mentioning lol
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
What is an ICE mechanic?
@@SemiSubconsciousSaboteurinternal combustion engine
@@alexgarcia3900 Ah, thank you!
He will have many many years successfully servicing ICE and Hybrid vehicles to his hearts delight I can promise you.
I was interested in your explanation of the door handles, because there was a fatal Cybertruck accident near me recently. It ran into a tree at high speed. No other vehicles were involved. A fire started. A witness was able to get one person out of the vehicle. Three persons were unable to get out, and died. I don't know if they were all incapacitated, or just unable to get out due to confusion or to the opener not working.
my neighbor drives this to Home Depot all the time, hauling wood. So yes, you can use it as a truck.
I use it in my construction business.
I would love to have a cybertruck 🥰
This car is going to stay in history
Some good information and good pictures of the equipment, but way too many ads to deal with. Would be nice to see how to remove plastic cover under the frunk including the torque values to reinstall it. And... I do use this as a truck everyday. It is not a gimmick.
There are 100k dollar ford Trucks now Lots of Trucks are 100k now especialy higher Trim models 1:01:27 @The Car Care Nut
Those are actual trucks tho.
@@1FiftyOverlandthis truck will beat ALL those trucks in every aspect!
@@Amir-ie2yz 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
@@Amir-ie2yzyou’re full of crap. It can’t tow. My ford Tremor can go 700 miles on one tank and in 5 minutes can go another 700 miles. It will also go off road just as good or better. The cyber truck is purely a piece of garbage. To a real truck guy it’s practically, and practical is the key word , worthless. The panel gaps wouldn’t be approved by Yugo QC.
And as soon as the hype dies down ,just like all other EVs it’ll be worth 30% of its original MSRP. The cyber truck is just a virtual signal for people who think the ocean is going to ride and sink the US coasts .
@@jimsteinway695 As far an innovation is it far more innovative than your Tremor. It may only tow half as far, but I saw a video of one towing and the Cybertruck beat the regular one from A to B.
Your the bob ross of car reviews
About the lamp with 15V. It is maybe how they are connected.
If you connect the load/lamp in seriell, then the voltage will decrease. So, three lamp with 15V in seriell givs 15+15+15=45V, near enough to 48V
I've seen several people use a Cybertruck as a work-truck in construction and in farming. It is a truck through and through.
Don’t understand why tho considering the hassles of charging and range anxiety
@@DavidZ123 there are no issues with charging or range anxiety. Especially for people with their own place. It’s relatively simple and cheap to install a charger that would meet anyone’s needs.
@@DavidZ123 The cybertruck is my first EV. I can wake up with over 300 miles of range and have Superchargers EVERYWHERE. How often do you go further than that in a day?
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.
And in minus 20 degree weather , how warm is the cabin ? Tesla car owners were not very happy while driving on the Canadian prairies in the winter !
Zero bias, just facts, well done.
Not just fact---'some designs on this Tesla he praises......showing his opinion......
I will buy it as a Work Truck for my Farm in Germany, no matter what you say 🤪
Love the stainless steel. I dont care about finger prints, didnt wash my Model 3 for years ^^
No more scratches, rust and dents :)
Others on this thread are saying they just use windex and a rag for fingerprints, it's
very easy. And it's a good work truck you're right. Send me some schnitzel!
Big fan of this channel...As always, great in-depth review. At 43:00, I noticed that the side glass opened only a little when the car was unlocked. If you noticed, it's the shape of the Cybertruck icon which you'll also see on the steering wheel.
Also, I had a very bad experience earlier this year with Model Y during cold weather. On that day I learned if the 12V battery was dead (for no reason, as it was a brand-new car), it required opening the door manually to get out of the car, and when you do that, the glass would not come down slightly as it normally does, that means you can't close the door back or it'll break the side glass.
A very horrible experience that day due to several issues with it and was dead on the highway. Be careful taking any EV car for a long trip, especially in the Winter.
Not sure why this would not be used as a work truck. You didn't specify what are the weaknesses. Other work trucks do not have air suspensions and have poor driving performance compared to the Cybertruck. That is worth the money to some people. Non-truck buyers are purchasing the Cybertruck. The stainless steel is hard to clean but the armor protection and low cost of replacement makes it worthwhile.
Price. This is luxury vehicle. But you 'muricans know better.
@@drayke8886 have you seen the price of trucks lately? It's pretty comparable.
I've found my stainless steel to be super easy to keep clean. A little windex and a rag does the trick. In fact, I'd say it is easier to clean than my other cars. My Cybertruck was hit by the sprinklers on one side. Noticed it when I pulled it into my garage. Not a problem. Hit the whole side with windex and a rag and in about 2 minutes good as new. I'd never try that on my painted cars as it would swirl and damage the paint.
Also love going to the grocery store and not worrying about where I park for fear of getting door dinged.
And I too use it as a truck. In fact, sold my gas truck when I bought this.
Imagine no dents at the construction site lol
@@drayke8886This truck will eventually be half the price of competition. Tesla did everything they could to raise the price to meet demand
"You cannot use this as a truck" Interesting comment. and to add $100k is for the foundation series.
