2024 Tesla Cybertruck Review: This Is Just Plain Cool

this

is Tesla's cyber truck and it is the most talked about, most anticipated and most hyped car so far

this

decade, it looks absolutely crazy, it has incredible performance, it comes from a company run by a crazy person, there is nothing like this on the planet and today. I'm going to

review

the Cyber ​​Tru and show you all of its quirks and features. Today's video is brought to you by cars and deals. My online enthusiast car auction site that recently sold this and this and this and this and this check it out at carsand bids.com before you get started, great news, I launched a podcast, this car podcast is now available, the first episode is already out and every Friday there will be new episodes.

My friends and I will talk about car news, car market trends and answer viewer questions. all in one tight hour each week, so be sure to check out this car podcast with new episodes every Friday. It is the right time to know the peculiarities and features of the Tesla cyber truck. I'm so excited about this that I'm going to skip all the Basics that most people already know about this truck and dive right into the quirks and features, starting with the absolutely ridiculous design of this truck. It's all about angles. Sharp angles everywhere you look. There are no curves on this truck.

Everything is designed to be angular and sharp. and futuristic and totally different from everything else on the road, which in fact is true, the only thing curved on the outside are the wheels and yet the wheel arches are angular, as you can see,

just

like the rest of the the truck, in fact, the angles of This truck is so sharp that there are places where you can clearly cut yourself. You can see here that it has a pretty acute angle. It looks a little scary if you walk too close. The same thing happens at the front.

This particular angle is seen if you walk as well. close, it might actually draw blood, the cyber truck is that brutal now, the other interesting thing about the cyber truck design is its material because the cyber truck is made almost entirely of unpainted stainless steel, this is totally different to the painted sheet metal that you see with basically every other vehicle, it gives it a totally different look and wears a little differently; In fact, early reports of premature wear of the Cyber ​​Tru's stainless steel panels have already caused many early Cyber ​​Truck owners to wrap their trucks in a different color or simply to protect the panels. of the body, regardless of whether it is totally different, the way this truck looks now, at first glance, when you look at the Cyber ​​truck, it looks like it's

just

a giant silver monolith, a totally minimalist exterior design without any frills.

It breaks up the big triangle that is this truck, but as you start to look closer you start to notice all the little things scattered all over the exterior that break up the monolithic shape, but only if you notice them, we'll start with the most obvious one. The rearview mirrors, which borrow the angled design of the rest of the truck, are triangular rather than anything else because they mimic the look of the truck. Then you move to the windshield where you can see the monkey wiper, the giant wiper. which is tucked into the side of the windshield, as you can see now, this is a huge windshield and it's a huge windshield wiper and according to Tesla, the reason for putting it here along the side of the windshield is actually to increase the range of the truck.

If you were to mount the wiper horizontally it would break up the aerodynamics of the truck, so mounting it here allows for better airflow over the truck and allows Tesla to hide the wiper a little better so that when you look at the truck you won't see it. Look at it, you just see a giant plane of glass below in terms of hidden exterior trim, let's talk about badges, there's no Tesla badge anywhere on this truck, but if you look closely you can see it says Foundation Series right here on the front fender. You have to look very closely because it's silver on silver, but it's there on early Foundation series trucks like this one.

You also get the Foundation series printed on the tailgate. You can see it right here, but again you have to look very closely. Otherwise you wouldn't necessarily notice it, but again, there is no Tesla logo anywhere on the front rear wheels, no Tesla branding on this truck, again, you don't really need it, if you see this truck you already know what which is then we are talking about the outside. things so let's talk Wheels, how do you design wheels for a monolith? The answer is well, these were not the wheels that the Cyber ​​truck was shown with, in fact, they are not the wheels that the Cyber ​​truck has generally been shown with and that is because the Cyber ​​truck has been seen mainly with wheel covers on top of these wheels that look strange and futuristic and match the look of the truck.

The only problem is that the wheel covers didn't actually work. Tesla tested them and they would impact the sidewall of the tire, so Tesla has recalled the wheel covers and apparently there will be a different design in the future, meaning these wheels are the Cyber ​​truck wheels without wheel covers, frankly I don't love the way they look, they're okay, they look pretty good, but they're kind of generic to sit on such a special and crazy looking body, those wheel covers really added to the Mystique feel that this truck had and I don't think these wheels look that good, but that's what the Cyber ​​truck has and the following.

While on the topic of exterior features you may not notice, take a look at the back of the front wheel arch. You can see right here. There is a small cutout for the blind spot camera. Set the turn signal. A blind spot camera turns on in the. center screen I'll show you later, but the camera is mounted right here and I love the fact that the little cutout is triangular to match the truck again, there are no circles, if you could help it, now go to the rear wheel arch and you. You can see here that there is a panel that appears to be cut out, which is your charging port.

You touch it and it opens automatically and that's where you plug in the Cyber ​​truck. It's pretty well hidden, but it's there and when the panel is open you can see a

cool

profile shot of the illuminated Cyber ​​truck inside the charging port area. Next, another interesting exterior element with the Cyber ​​​​truck is lighting up. How do you put lights on a monolith in front? The answer seems pretty obvious, there is a light bar that runs across it. the front, but there's actually more lighting than that. You turn on the lights and there is a hidden set of lights under the light bar that lights up in addition to the light bar and that lower hidden set is where the turn signals are located, as you can see. at the rear the lighting is even more unusual, let's say it comes from this giant bar that runs across the back of the truck and in normal operation the lights are normal but small, the main brake lights are on the edges of the rear of the truck.

You can see they also include the turn signals and then the third brake light is in the center. Okay, it's a little small in size for the truck, but it works perfectly. The strange thing is what happens when you turn on the headlights and then the taillights. It comes on in the form of a giant light bar across the back of the truck, but when you hit the brake the light bar goes off and the traditional brake light setup comes on instead, it's strange because when the lights rear lights are on and you apply the brakes, less light comes on than when you were not braking, it is certainly a design that I have never seen before, but when riding a rather strange vehicle now it is also worth noting another hidden exterior decoration at the rear which you won't notice unless What you're looking at is this camera that you can see mounted right in the middle of the back.

This is not a backup camera, but the rearview mirror. This is how it works on the Cybertruck. Let's talk about that. So why does the Cyber ​​Truck need a camera for a rearview mirror well, the answer is obvious, you can see it right here, there is no rear window, in fact that is not entirely true, this is a Tano cover that It covers the bed of this truck, so if you have things in here that you don't want to take. wet, damaged or stolen, you can cover the bed with this cover if you want to remove it, just come back here, press a button and then it automatically slides back.

It's actually pretty clean, slick and fast, and has a great design. it rolls backwards and suddenly the platform is exposed. Now when the bed is open this way you have a rear window and can see out the back of the truck, but apparently keeping the tunnel cover in place adds about 10% range when driving. so I suspect most owners will close the cover most of the time to maximize their reach unless they are actually using the bed with larger items, of course if you want to close the phone cover no problem just press another button here and then it slides closed, it's very easy, very simple to do and now your bed is safe once again.

It is really a very interesting feature. Now, in addition to the Tano cover situation back here, you have another button mounted on the back of the Cyber ​​truck and that is it. the tailgate open button you press it and then the tailgate opens automatically that's pretty simple it gives you access to the box where there are a lot of

cool

features so let's start when you first look inside the box a the left, there's this little panel here. open it up and there are a series of plugs, here you have household plugs or you have a heavy duty one where you can plug in your washing machine and run it from your cyber truck.

Now, the other interesting thing on the cyber truck platform. This giant panel on the floor of the bed actually lifts up and you have a trunk back here where you can store nicely what you would normally store in a trunk? It's not as big as a traditional sedan trunk, but it's a decent size where you can put it. things if you don't want to keep it in bed rolling around or whatever, you have this extra space and there's even a drain plug at the bottom of this space, so if you want to use this extra trunk as a cooler with ice, you could do that and then just pull the plug on the end and all the water will come out now.

One drawback to this bed situation is that the rear door is quite large, it is quite high, which means that when folded it is quite long and therefore quite hard. to get past it to access this bed trunk or the rest of the bed and unfortunately Tesla didn't give us a bed step situation like you have in basically every other full size truck where you can take something out and then jump right in in your bed to access it, it is actually quite difficult to access the bed because of the back door and of course the height of the truck is not a big deal, but other things in the bed are worth pointing out, there are many cargo tie downs like you would expect to see on Well most pickup trucks frankly one cool feature is that they have lighting in the bed as you can see lights on both sides that really illuminate what's in the bed.

More trucks could use this feature, the Cyber ​​truck has it and it's quite nice and I'll show you. how to operate it from inside the truck in a moment, by the way, another interesting item back here, the tailgate, it doesn't work electrically to go back up, so you have to lift it up to put it in place, but it has soft closes, which It means you don't have to slam it shut, you can just bring it closer to where it latches and then it will close automatically which is a nice touch and finally the last hidden adornment on the exterior of this truck, the door handles, don't they see each other Like there are handles on the doors, how do you get into this van?

Well, the front one is mounted here on the B-pillar at the base. It's actually quite simple: you just push the door handle and then the door pops out a couple of inches so you can grab it and open it the rest of the way, so next we get in the Cyber ​​truck, open the door, get in and discover which is not as crazy here as it is outside, the design is a slap in the face. Seeing as it would be difficult to replicate that on the interior and in fact it isn't, but there are some very interesting and twisty things inside this truck, let's start with the overall minimalist vibe here, just like other Tesla models.

I don't have all kinds of frills everywhere and buttons everywhere, instead it's very minimalist, very few buttons and switches basically anywhere in this interior again, like other Tesla models, so it's not as radical, but compared to other vehicles, howminimalist and basic and simple is in this interior and the other interesting thing is that the angular theme has been carried over to the interior, not just the exterior, for example the steering wheel is not in fact a steering wheel, you can see, it is more like a collapsed hexagon, there is nothing real. It curves into it and it's all quite angular and certainly unique compared to other vehicles.

Now I'll cover more unorthodox angle aspects of this interior in a second, but first I want to talk more about the steering wheel because the steering is certainly one of the most interesting. The things about the Cybertruck are because it uses something called steering by wire, which sounds very boring and high tech mechanical, but the interesting part is that you barely turn the steering wheel to turn the truck, so in your car you turn the steering wheel as if it were one hand and three times. and then you are completely locked in one direction in the Cyber ​​truck, it's only half a turn and all the steering is as far as half a turn goes in the other direction, the steering is as far as it goes totally unorthodox compared to In other vehicles we'll see if I like it when I get behind the wheel of the Cybertruck in a moment, but a clear immediate benefit is that it actually works with Tesla's Yol steering wheel.

There were a lot of com

plain

ts about going head first while spinning a Yol. Well, you don't have that com

plain

t if you never have to use your hand and because of the way the steering is configured and that is the case with this truck, it solves that problem with a steering wheel similar to the one on the Yol. It's also worth noting that the Cyber ​​truck has rear-wheel steering in addition to the front wheel, which dramatically improves the maneuverability of this giant truck that many new luxury cars have. rear wheel steering, but this does it too and it helps, but back to the interior, strange angled things, the cupholders are not circular, as you can see they are octagons, although their cups are circular in the

cybertruck

, their cupholders are not check out. the door panel and you can see a bunch of different angles on basically every surface, there's no attempt to smooth anything out with Curves, in fact there's basically nothing round anywhere in this interior, even the dog in dog mode on the infotainment system.

I can see it's like an angular pixelated dog instead of a usual circular curved dog, which adds to the hilarity of the cyber truck and I really like it, the only thing I found here that is circular, the thumb controls on the steering wheel, you can see these. they are traditional circles and wheel dials that turn like a circle, that's because Tesla borrows them from other Tesla models to install on the Cyber ​​Tru and I guess they decided they didn't want to make specific hexagonal shaped steering controls only for the

cybertruck

. It's been too expensive, so it's still circles, although it's worth noting the camera icon to turn on the cameras on the steering wheel, which is a hexagon, and the same on the infotainment screen, a hexagon for the camera, so they paid some attention to the details. well, which is cool to see, most people probably wouldn't notice now beyond all the angles and minimalism on this interior, again, just like on the exterior, there are no Tesla logos inside this truck on the steering wheel, you have that profile picture. of the Cyber ​​Truck Tri Ang Le truck type and on the door you have Cyber ​​Truck written in the cool Cyber ​​Truck font that Tesla uses in some marketing, but again, you won't find Tesla logos anywhere here, like outside.

It's very unorthodox as is the windshield, so let's talk about that next. The windshield on this truck to make the shape work, it basically goes all the way to the front of the truck. It's strange, you're not used to driving a car. The windshield of the car looks like this and it actually creates some problems. One is cleaning the windshield. I don't know how you are going to get to this area to clean the inside bottom of the windshield or dust the top of the dash. It seems like hell for retailers, good luck. The other problem that a long windshield like this creates, we've seen on other cars, is that a pillar becomes too large to support the windshield and blocks your visibility.

Now, to Tesla's credit, they put windows inside the one pillar to make it a little easier to see, but it doesn't really completely solve the problem. You can clearly tell that there are a lot of things blocked by this large pillar that goes quite far into your line of sight and I have a suspicion that it is going to cause some problems with the Cybertruck pedestrians because you won't be able to see everything below. Also, on the topic of the windshield, sunshades are very interesting because the windshield is so large that it almost goes directly over where you are sitting.

The visors are not mounted on the roof but are attached to this plastic panel that comes out for the sensors on this truck, which in itself is unusual, but the strangest part is when you lower the visor to block the sun. the windshield actually reveal more windshield, you block part of the windshield but you get another part of the windshield, it's very unusual, the good news is that there is an additional sun visor that comes down from the visor in the form of an additional panel to block. get even more sun if you want now it's also worth noting that you have the button up here to turn on the emergency lights.

It is worth mentioning that the hazard lights being a separate button is a regulatory issue. You cannot place the hazard lights button on the screen. and that's why all these cars with minimalist interiors and giant screens still have the separate emergency light button like it does here. This probably bothered Tesla. They wanted to make it as minimalist as possible but still had to make a button for the emergency lights. They removed the vents, as you can see in this interior, there are no obvious vents, they are obviously there because you have air conditioning and heat in this van like any other vehicle, but they have made them completely invisible which is a incredible effort to achieve it. minimalism that Tesla is really committed to.

Next, on the door panel, you can see this button here. You press to electronically open the door, it opens, and then you open it all the way. This latch is a manual backup in case the electronic door lock fails and then you also have the window switch here. The owner of this truck told me that the switches are mounted quite far back and are in an awkward place to reach, which is a little annoying, but worth pointing out by talking. of the windows, the front windows on this truck are crazy, the design has this crazy twisted angle to fit the angle of the truck, it's not like any other front window I've ever seen, it's very unusual, but next we move on to the controls.

On this truck, starting with the steering wheel, there are no parts coming out of the steering column for the turn signals, windshield wipers like on most normal vehicles, instead the turn signals are mounted on the steering wheel. . You can see them here left arrow right arrow you also have a button here where you can flash the headlights, on the other side you have the windshield wipers here, as you can see, and you have the voice control function here, you can activate it from the steering wheel and this button turns on the camera. The system brings it up on the center screen like I mentioned before, but there are no inputs on the steering column, so you're probably wondering how do you put this vehicle in gear, put it in drive or reverse?

The answer is that it's on the screen, so let's talk about the giant screen on the Cyber ​​truck. Gear shifting is on the left side of the screen and is a feature where you swipe in the direction you want to travel and then swipe forward to drive. go back to reverse and then the park will turn on if you touch the center or if you just open the door, it's actually quite intuitive, works reasonably well and you don't really think about how strange or unorthodox it is after a while of using this truck. But beyond the gearshift situation, there are many other interesting elements worth noting with this screen.

This screen overall will look quite familiar to anyone who has spent time in a recent Tesla model. The Cybertruck has a very similar screen interface setup to other Teslas. There is just a different font that is supposed to be more futuristic and there are some features that other Tesla models don't have. I'm going to cover the most interesting ones, so let's start with the main screen, you see a side image of the truck and check it out. this is revealed if you double tap on the window in this picture check it out oh my god oh man it didn't happen yeah that's right the glass breaks just like it did when Elon Musk first showed and demonstrated this truck four years ago, it's very cool to see that they've integrated that feature, kind of a stupid little hidden Easter egg, but I love the little circuits and the features.

Next, here is an interesting element that you can open the glove box on the center screen and that is no different from others. Teslas, but the glove box itself is the one that you open and you can see that it's actually a glove box or a glove box so to speak, that's where you keep the things that you would keep in a glove box when you want to close it, you just press the button but on the screen again and it goes back to where it belongs a standard glove box would be too normal for the Cyber ​​truck now the next one is also interesting on this screen this is where the rear view mirror is located for this truck as I mentioned on the toot cover is closed , you can't see behind you, so the rearview mirror is displayed on the screen.

Now it's worth noting that the cybertruck actually comes with a rearview mirror that is regulation, but the owner of this truck told me that he removed it. blocked his forward visibility and he wasn't really planning on driving with the tunnel cover open, so he would prefer to use the mirror inside the screen, which makes sense and is also worth noting that you can move the rearview mirror on the screen to a more convenient place if that's what you want to do, you can choose where Another interesting feature of the Cyber ​​Truck is also worth noting. Here you can raise and lower the suspension.

All Cybertruck models come with height-adjustable suspension and you can see several different options. options here from the entry height, which is the lowest to make it easier to get in, to the highest height, which is for off-road use and you can see right now that the truck is reaching its highest height and the guy is does. rise, it can go from very low to very high, the highest setting is something like 17 inches of ground clearance to maximize its off-road capability, now beyond that the rest of this screen is mostly typical Tesla fair and I took a deep look at it. the latest infotainment system from Tesla in my recent

review

of the new Tesla Model 3, so you can check it out to get a little more detail about this infotainment system, but you have the basics, for example, you control the mirrors using the screen and then Also the small dial with your thumb on the steering wheel you can see which places the mirrors up or down.

The same goes for controlling the steering wheel position, you navigate the direction and then you can move the wheel up or down using the dials like in other Tesla models. It's a cool trick, but again I mentioned it in other views. You also have dog mode, as I mentioned, where you can keep the interior cool if you want to briefly go into a store, leave your dog in the car again, all the usual Tesla stuff. Right into this infotainment system now, with that being said, one totally crazy piece of technology that this truck doesn't have is Autopilot, Tesla's Autopilot driver assistance technology, which will slow down and accelerate based on the car. who is in front of you and will also steer this truck for you. doesn't come with it, it has cruise control that will slow down or speed up depending on traffic, but you have to handle the steering, and the truck also doesn't have Tesla's full self-driving system or differential locks to improve shutoff. -on-road capability I mention all of these things together because Tesla says they will all be added to the Cyber ​​Tru with an over-the-air update, but they're not here right now, so if you bought one of these, you've already been driving it for a few months without any these features you probably expected, which is a little disappointed now, the last interesting element worth highlighting inside, up here on the infotainment screen, you can open the front trunk that Tesla calls. the frunk you just touch here where it says open frunk and then you can see it opens automatically in the front revealing a storage compartment, so what's in the front trunk, well theanswer is nothing, which is intentional because it's a storage compartment where you're supposed to be. to put things in, but there are some interesting quirks worth noting as a cyber truck is written on the back and the cool cyber truck font, as you can see, it also has a little cap on the side where you can add liquid windshield wipers quite a bit.

It's a normal thing that you still have to do in this otherworldly van and you also have a button that you can press and the front trunk will close and apparently the front trunk will close on you, there's nothing stopping you from just closing what have inside. between the trunk and the car so needless to say don't put your arm in there they will cut it off and then we move to the back seat and first we get into the back of the Cyber ​​truck opening the rear doors approximately the same manner. like the front door, you have a panel here next to it, you push it, the door opens, it reveals itself to you and you can open it the rest of the way.

The cool thing here is that the rear doors open 90° so they really open wide which allows you to get in and out of the truck more easily now that you're back here couple of cool quirks and the biggest one is actually a surprise , there's decent room back here given the overall length of this truck, I figured it would be good leg room, knee room, hip room, that sort of thing and there is, but given the design of this truck I thought Headroom would be compromised, but that's not the case. I'm quite tall and sitting back here I can sit completely upright and have room for my head, I'm only an inch or two from the glass above me so it's not like there's a lot of room but there's certainly enough to sit on here comfortably, adults, children, whatever they fit in the back of the cybertruck now the other notable element here is the screen for the rear passengers that you can use to do many different things.

You have, for example, music controls. Here you can use to adjust the audio in the car. You also have entertainment controls. You can turn on your favorite apps like Netflix or YouTube and you have climate controls back here. Turn on the climate controls. The power button is an angled hexagon instead of the usual circle, which adds to the cyber truth, but beyond that you can simply adjust where air comes out, the temperature, that sort of thing, and turn on your rear seats. heated, that's your rear screen, now beyond all that, the rear of the Cyber ​​Tru isn't particularly interesting or exciting, the only other interesting element worth noting is that you can lift up the base of the seats for more storage space.there's kind of a little hidden tab that you can pull back here, pull it out and then the base of the seat raises up and you can use the backrest for storage instead of the passenger seat if you don't have people but instead you have many other things.

Trucks have that, but it's good to see it here, so those are its quirks and characteristics and now let's move on to the basics of the Cyber ​​Truck, if you want to hear the general details, so now there are two versions of the Cyber Truck available. a regular one, the Cyber ​​Truck, and then there's the high-performance Cyber ​​Beast with more power. This is the regular Cyber ​​Truck, it has 600 horsepower, goes from 0 to 60 in 3.9 seconds and costs about $882,000. It also has about 340M of range now yes. If you upgrade to the Cyber ​​Beast you get around 835 horsepower, do 0-60 in 2-odd seconds making it the fastest pickup truck ever, have a base price of around $102,000 and a total range of about $300 miles a bit. less than the standard pickup, both versions of the Cyber ​​Tru can now tow up to 11,000 lbs., which is a pretty hefty number, although that will obviously decrease range significantly.

It's also worth noting that both versions are significantly more expensive than Tesla. He said that when these trucks were first announced in 2019 they would be between 20 and $40,000 more expensive, depending on the version. It's a pretty steep price increase, but also one that almost everyone expected now. It's also worth noting that Tesla claims that there is a cheaper version of the Cyber ​​Truck still coming out is a single-motor, rear-drive Cyber ​​Tru that will only tow around 7,500 lbs and will obviously have a base price lower compared to more powerful, high-performance all-wheel drive versions, Tesla claims. that's coming in 25, but we're all skeptical of Tesla's timing claims right now.

The Cyber ​​truck is built in Texas at Tesla's Giga Factory near Austin. It measures about 224 in long, which is enormously long for a vehicle but pretty standard for a complete. Mid size truck and weighs around 6900 lbs which is quite significant. It's also worth noting that the Cyber ​​truck is currently only available here in North America and has not yet been exported to Asia or Europe and given some of its regulatory challenges in I have a strong suspicion that in those markets It never will be and will always be confined to North America. A special gift: here we receive the Tesla cyber truck and with that, let's get behind the wheel, driving the Tesla cyber truck that you wanted to drive. the Cyber ​​truck since it was first revealed like everyone did at the end of 2019 now at that time they said it would come out in 21 here we are 3 and a half years after it was revealed and it's finally available now When will it revealed for the first time, I said I think I had a video or a tweet saying I didn't think they could make the Cyber ​​truck in production look like that and there have been some changes to the concept. cybertruck to get it ready for production but to Tesla's credit it's pretty close to how they said it would look or maybe to Tesla's detriment because it's atrociously ugly but it's also just plain cool.

I think it's both at the same time, so I'll get it. to the driving experience in a second, but I will say that I've been watching from the sidelines for the last year as people talked about towing and hauling capacity and all this truck stuff about the cybertruck and, frankly, I think these discussions are moot because people buy this to be cool, that's the only reason no one cares about their toes or hallways and frankly that goes for their competitors too, the six guys in my neighborhoods with Ford Raptors. I've never seen them dirty. I've never seen them. they hooked up to anything to tow people who buy these trucks to be cool now when the Cyber ​​truck was first announced Elon said it was going to be a competitor to the Ford F-150 and would be useful in the field, well, it became clear that it's really more of an expensive lifestyle for rich people, but once that became clear, I think we should have stopped all discussion about stupid things like towing capacity and started talking about how cool which is and this is so cool I have driven by several of these in traffic they just saw them on the roads people go crazy they take pictures they are very excited and I think a lot of the arguments about oh it can't tow oh it's going to running out of battery come from raptor owners that I am angry that something has eclipsed them in the truck world, this is cooler than any other truck and I think if you paid 100 grand for a TRX or 120 for a Raptor r , you'd be upset if some stupid electric car upstaged you.

I know whose California company it is, you know, but it overshadows everything because it's so cool, so let's talk about the driving experience. The first thing that's interesting about the Cybertruck is the steering by wire. This doesn't sound particularly sexy or cool, but it really has a profound effect on the driving experience and that's because the steering wheel can basically only turn half a turn and that's the total amount it can turn in a normal car. You can go around the wheels a couple of times. In this case, the address is direct. connected to how far you turn the steering wheel and it happens quickly and the driving experience is very interesting, as a result it takes a little time to get used to, but I have to say that just driving this now for about half an hour I prefer it to normal driving of a car, why am I doing it?

Turn hand over hand, turn, turn. I really don't need to do it. This truck is excellent. It's great proof that it actually works well in normal driving with this steering by wire. You don't turn it much and I'm surprised at how well it works once you get used to it. There are a couple of interesting things. I love this steering by wire, just a simple turn and then you're, you're, you're Well, there's no hand over and it really neutralizes the drawback of the crazy tip steering wheel because you're not doing hand over turns. It's surprisingly cool now.

One interesting thing about the Cyber ​​Tru is that it actually steers quite well because of the steering. by wire and because Tesla generally does a good job with this, you have pretty direct steering, so you turn the wheel and it's pretty quick to turn, uh, and go in that direction, now it's a huge vehicle that weighs almost 7,000 lb and ultimately It's still going to be pretty heavy, not that it's going to handle incredibly well, around curves and corners, you know if you take it on Mountain Canyon roads, but it dries better than you'd expect and is feel a little more. more nimble and nimble than you'd expect, especially considering it also accelerates pretty well, now that this isn't the Cyber ​​Beast version of the truck, it's only got 600 horsepower, which is fine from 0 to 60 in 4 seconds in a vehicle weighing 7,000 lbs, that's really all you need.

I need Tesla to have delivered quite a few of them. I've seen probably a dozen driving around San Diego regularly and I was in New York last week and saw two or three in New York. They won't be rare anytime soon. The thrill factor will go away like it did with the C8 Corvette, but for now it's definitely the craziest thing on the road and people are going completely crazy. The driving experience is probably the least interesting part of the truck, apart from the very long windshield and the kind of problematic pillars apart from the steering by wire and the weird mirror, you know, it's a camera thing besides driving, It's actually not that crazy, it looks crazy, it has some crazy features, you know, there's a lot of weird things about it. truck, but from a driving perspective, just sitting here driving it once you get used to driving it by wire, it's a pretty traditional vehicle to own and operate and use, which I think is the point where you don't want to that people have a steep learning curve.

From driving it you really want the kind of styling and design to speak for itself in terms of how crazy it is, okay I'm going to milk it here, woohoo, yeah the acceleration is fine with the non-cyber Beast. I'm sure it's awesome in Cyber ​​Beast, but frankly, we've all gotten used to electric cars going from 0 to 60 and 2. Whatever it is, it's not special anymore, this truck is special by many others. reasons beyond its acceleration in terms of size. I think it's something that a lot of people will be curious about. Is big. If you are in a city area, you may not want to drive such a large vehicle all the time. dragging a big box in the back that you might not be using just to be cool.

I'm not really sure that's the right move, but certainly the most interesting and exciting parts of the truck come from all the things that I showed you before and not necessarily from driving it, uh, and I think it's good that you don't have to, Although you have to mentally adapt to this crazy design, you don't really have to make any concessions or adaptations to use the truck. Use it reasonably well, you just have to get used to driving by wire, which, frankly, I think is great and in the end, I think this is just great, it's just great, uh, and it's incredibly exciting to finally drive after all This weather. and the response on the road is just wild and the market has also spoken to the demand.

This is great. People are interested. The people love it. People think it's crazy and it's not, so that's Tesla's cyber truck. Say what you want. This, but it's incredibly impressive, impressive to see, impressive to just be around, this is one of the craziest vehicles that has ever existed and it's just cool, incredibly eye-catching, there's nothing like it on the road, crazy experience inside and out. out, and now. It's time to give the Cyber ​​truck Doug's score and Doug's score is 73 out of 100, which puts the Cyber ​​truck here against several other similar vehicles and other Tesla models.

Cyber ​​truck wins against everyonethese, but mainly because of such a high score. score of the weekend, it's immensely cool right now, an absolute spectacle, as this cyber truck becomes more common and that cool factor drops. I suspect the r1t will end up with a higher overall score, it's just a more well-rounded truck, a little faster and a little better looking. a little more practical a little cheaper for now although the cyber truck is king
