Cybertruck: The Embarrassing beginning of Teslas Demise

It had half the range. It didn't have anywhere near the power of the Model 3. It really shook the world and at its best it was the best money could buy at the time and that stuck. It's been true for many, many, many years and the reason I was so sad to see Tesla in this state is because unfortunately they are getting to the point where nothing is all that original anymore and they are no longer the best at the things you know now. When you start comparing Teslas to other electric vehicles, they come in second and sometimes third place and you think of these innovative technologies like you know the 48 volt architecture system that has been in cars for a long time.

This is not something Tesla invented. Four-wheel steering has been in cars for decades, another thing Tesla didn't invent but they implemented it, which was cool in a modern car, but by no means is any of this new, not even the cable ladder is new in no way. They are taking technology that is interesting but they are applying it to a product that needs help, for example the cable ladder is neat and the four wheel steering is neat but they had to do that because they made the wheelbase of the truck It's so long that you almost have to turn all four wheels and tires to make it a proper circular turning radius, so they created a problem and then solved it using technology, while in reality they are not using technology to do something that exists is better, they are simply using technology to clarify their mistake.

I think the design, uh, is a little vague. I think just having the stainless steel panels bolted to the car is a lazy man's idea. I really don't think it was necessary. I know people would have bought them anyway, but I get it because if Tesla hadn't done that, if Tesla hadn't made this cyber truck as flashy as it is once you take everything away from it, let's just say. You would have made the Tesla an anonymous box with only the specs written correctly and taken all the EVS with all the other specs, but you wouldn't be able to see what they look like.

You wouldn't actually put Tesla in the top two. At this point, because there are other manufacturers that have appeared and actually surpassed them. The only thing that embarrasses me more is when I watch videos like Out of PC Motoring's "You Meet Kyle." Out of PC reviews are during cross-country trips. the Tesla sometimes comes in third and the Tesla supercharger network is the ultimate Flex, it's the last rabbit in the hat that Tesla had to encourage other EV owners and other EV companies to say, Hey, listen, this is what we have, we have a superior and robust charging network and even when we use the charging network, Tesla still didn't come first, we had the Silverado first or the Silverado EV beat Tesla and then the rivano beat Tesla again So it's like wait a minute, I really thought Tesla was all about innovation, forward thinking and design and at this point they are just lining up and being mostly average.

I was literally shocked when I got back to my rivan r1t. I'm driving my rivan right now and I'm getting better mileage and better range than the Cyber ​​truck and I know what you're going to say. I know you're going to say well, the rivan has a better battery, you know, so it has more range, but the Rivan has a bigger battery but it's also more efficient than the Cyber ​​Truck, so I'm thinking, ya You know, Tesla, a company that has made over 5 million cars, how are they lagging behind the newcomers? How's the Silverado? ah, it could tow better, it could tow longer, it has more capacity and it charges faster, so Chevy has like 13 people working for that EV team, how are they beating up Tesla?

I don't know and this really makes me think that Tesla In a bit of a problem, what they did was use the overall design of the Cyber ​​truck as a crutch to mask an average product. This is what it is. The Cyber ​​truck is an average product made by an above average company that is starting to become an average company, so I thought they could have done a lot better. I think they could have focused a lot on energy and efficiency. They didn't, you know, I wish the Cyber ​​Truck had had 500 miles of range, but as many EV owners will tell you, it's not about range, it's about efficiency, okay, whatever. help you sleep at night, but regardless of the promises that came before about the range, they weren't there, it was promised at 500 and the being 340 but others were saying oh look, we have other cool stuff, you know, four wheel steering and all these other cool things, well, 4-wheel steering has been around for a while and in fact there is another EV truck that beats the Cyber ​​truck in every measurable category that also has 4-wheel steering, which It's the Silverado EV.

It's just sad and a little

embarrassing

at this point, so if you look online right now, there's like, oh my gosh, there are hundreds of cyber trucks for sale, it's not even like that. something that's hard to find, you can literally point, shoot and buy one, and I'm guessing before the end of next month you can probably find one that you know well under 100, probably in the 90s or so, either way , that's my check it out if you don't like it enough, but I think Tesla could have done a lot better and they are starting to become a mediocre company until I see them next week.
