[00:00] - All right, so the Tesla Cybertruck
[00:01] has been kind of an enigma.
[00:03] It was revealed four years
ago, almost to the day,
[00:07] and ever since then it was kind of quiet.
[00:09] But then we slowly started
seeing them rolling
[00:11] around like California a little bit
[00:13] and then a couple in Texas.
[00:14] And these were like prototype Cybertrucks,
[00:16] and they were testing.
[00:18] Turns out one of them was me.
[00:21] Well, for a day anyway.
[00:22] So what we have here is a
near final Tesla Cybertruck.
[00:27] It's not an actual delivery truck yet.
[00:30] It's still one that they've been testing.
[00:31] So there's some small, small prototyping
[00:32] things here or there,
[00:34] but everything that I'm about to show you
[00:35] is what's going to show up in
the customer's delivery trucks
[00:38] starting basically right now.
[00:40] So I've learned a lot about this truck
[00:42] in my time testing it.
[00:43] There are some surprising things about it,
[00:45] some features that are really cool,
[00:47] things that I think truck
people are really gonna like,
[00:49] but also some concerns that
I have, some surprises.
[00:54] Buckle up is gonna be a mega video.
[00:56] Get subscribed.
[00:56] There's a lot to it.
[00:58] Let's take a look at the
final Tesla Cybertruck.
[01:01] (upbeat music)
[01:15] (wipers squeaking)
[01:17] All right, first things
first, let's get to the specs.
[01:19] Everyone wants to know
the official numbers.
[01:21] Everything on paper.
[01:22] And it's funny because we'll
get to this in a second,
[01:24] but some things have actually changed
[01:26] from the show truck
that showed up on stage,
[01:28] including the overall dimensions.
[01:30] I'll get to that.
[01:31] But the stuff that you probably care about
[01:33] is the basics like price,
range, speed, right?
[01:37] So there are gonna be three configurations
[01:39] of the Cybertruck.
[01:40] This one that we're looking at here,
[01:41] which you can't tell by looking at it,
[01:42] but this is the triple motor version.
[01:44] It's not quite the same
as the Plaid powertrain,
[01:48] but it is two in the
rear, one in the front
[01:51] and it's gonna be able to
do zero to 60 in 2.7 seconds
[01:55] and 11 second quarter mile.
[01:57] It's got about 845 horsepower.
[02:00] It has torque vectoring at the rear
[02:02] and it's absurd.
[02:03] They call it the beast.
[02:05] It's a pretty ridiculous set of specs.
[02:07] I think that makes it
[02:09] the fastest production
pickup truck factory ever.
[02:12] But there's also going to
be a dual motor version
[02:15] that they also start to ship early
[02:17] and eventually also a single
motor real wheel drive version.
[02:21] The triple motor is gonna start
[02:23] at about a hundred thousand dollars.
[02:24] So this is new information.
[02:26] We kind of had a much lower idea
[02:27] of what the price is gonna be at launch.
[02:29] This is a hundred thousand
dollars truck you're looking at,
[02:31] expect somewhere around 75, 85,000
[02:35] for the dual motor version.
[02:36] And then the single motor
will be further down the road.
[02:38] But the dual motor is
still 600 plus horsepower
[02:40] and still plenty fast.
[02:42] But that's the general basics.
[02:44] And as far as range,
[02:46] we'll get to the wheels in a second,
[02:48] but it's about a 340 mile max range
[02:51] from the absolute most
efficient version of this truck.
[02:53] Now a couple other last numbers.
[02:55] Things that I think some
truck people will appreciate.
[02:57] First of all, towing
capacity and bed capacity.
[03:01] Those are some things
that Tesla's told me.
[03:03] I'm gonna put the numbers up here.
[03:04] I think it's 2,500 pounds for
the bed, which is pretty cool.
[03:07] And we also measured the truck,
[03:08] because officially it's about 5% smaller
[03:13] in every dimension from
the original show truck,
[03:16] the prototype that people
have been seeing on stage.
[03:18] So I measure it from front to back
[03:20] and it's about from bumper
to bumper, 224 inches.
[03:24] We happen to have an F-150 Lightning here
[03:27] that we've been directly
comparing it to right over there.
[03:31] We've got some onboard power
[03:32] and all sorts of fun features here.
[03:34] And so I'll mention when things like
[03:35] that also appear on this truck,
[03:37] but it's about the size
of an F-150 Lightning
[03:40] A little bit smaller.
[03:42] Now speaking of the 5%
shrinking dimension wise,
[03:45] there are a lot of things that
have changed about this truck
[03:48] versus the original show car.
[03:50] From front to back there's a lot.
[03:52] There's a motorized front trunk,
[03:53] there's so much to talk
about in this video.
[03:55] There is the world's
largest windshield wiper,
[03:59] which I'm sure you're curious about.
[04:01] So we'll talk about that.
[04:02] It does actually have side view mirrors.
[04:06] They're removable and they've kind of done
[04:09] all that they possibly can to
make it able to be removed.
[04:14] Like you can take this off,
[04:15] it has to ship with this
from the factory legally.
[04:17] But there is a blind
spot monitoring lights
[04:20] inside the truck.
[04:21] There are cameras here
on the side of the truck
[04:25] to show you that spot when
you put your blinker on.
[04:27] So you can just pop this
off if you really wanted to.
[04:29] And then also down at the
side here, these wheels,
[04:33] this is an arrow cap that is removable.
[04:36] So let's just do that to start.
[04:38] This is the premium tire
that's going to come
[04:41] on a 20 inch rim.
[04:43] All of the initial trucks,
triple motor, dual motor,
[04:46] they'll all have this tire on.
[04:47] It looks like it's a
bespoke Goodyear tire.
[04:49] It's got some neat little aesthetic tweaks
[04:52] and I'm sure compound
tweaks and tread stuff here.
[04:54] But this is a plastic arrow cap
[04:57] with like this outside rubber.
[05:00] It's actually a two piece
[05:01] and it'll get you a couple
percent more range on the truck,
[05:06] but if you don't like the look of it
[05:08] or if you're off-roading, pop that off.
[05:11] And that's how the truck's
stock wheel will look.
[05:15] A lot of grease and metal in there.
[05:18] But this is a two part thing like I said.
[05:20] So if I can rip this off,
these are the two pieces
[05:24] and the reason is two parts
[05:25] is because actually
one of these to line up
[05:28] with the little rectangles on the tire.
[05:30] So maybe you want to
take the arrow caps off
[05:33] to air down the tires and go off-roading
[05:34] and you want maximum brake
cooling, whatever you're doing.
[05:37] But if you wanna put these back on,
[05:38] you sort of line all this up
[05:41] (cap clanging)
[05:44] and then you take the plastic bit,
[05:47] (cap clanging)
[05:53] now you're back.
[05:55] Get a shot of this, get a shot of my,
[05:57] so I'm gonna probably not do that again
[05:59] considering everything
it just left on my hands.
[06:03] But you get the idea, you can
do that on all four tires,
[06:05] 20 inch rims.
[06:06] These again are the premium tires
[06:08] and yeah, okay, great, moving on.
[06:13] So okay, you kind of can't
really tell the story
[06:16] of the Cybertruck without
addressing the fact
[06:18] that it is a giant
stainless steel triangle.
[06:22] I mean it looks surreal.
[06:24] Like there is not really a single curve
[06:27] on this entire truck.
[06:29] Every single piece,
[06:30] these are giant pieces of stainless steel.
[06:32] There's all sorts of sheen
[06:34] and fingerprint implications
that we'll talk about,
[06:39] but I don't know it's an aesthetic thing,
[06:41] like not a whole lot of curves.
[06:43] Fine, that's pretty cool.
[06:45] But then the other version
of that conversation
[06:47] is like look at how
sharp the front of the,
[06:50] some of these pieces
here, how sharp it is.
[06:52] Not that you're gonna like walk up
[06:53] and poke the front of
someone's truck very often,
[06:55] but that's a sharp corner piece
[06:58] of stainless steel right
there and right there.
[07:00] And then this front piece here,
[07:02] it's this one huge big stamped piece
[07:06] and I had a couple
conversations with people,
[07:07] engineers at Tesla about
using stainless steel
[07:09] on the body panels like this.
[07:11] And they have these huge presses
[07:12] that are stamping the stainless steel,
[07:14] but steel has this sort
of a spring back effect.
[07:17] So you use a lot of force
to stamp it in place,
[07:18] but then it springs back really quickly.
[07:21] So you have to stamp further than you need
[07:23] to get it to unspring back to the part
[07:24] that you want it to be at.
[07:26] It's a whole complicated thing.
[07:27] All of that is to say,
[07:29] I've seen a bunch of
Cybertrucks while I've been here
[07:32] and they all have
slightly different levels
[07:35] of panel gaps, build quality in general.
[07:39] This truck in particular
that we're looking at,
[07:42] it actually looks great.
[07:43] I'm not gonna say it's
micron levels of precision
[07:46] or anything like that,
[07:47] but generally panel
gaps all the way around
[07:49] are pretty small, pretty
even, looks really good.
[07:53] But I don't know, I don't
know if I can promise that
[07:55] for every truck, like even
just this huge front piece here
[07:59] has a little bit of like wavering.
[08:01] It's not quite a perfect flat line.
[08:04] So I'm not an expert on it,
[08:06] but I'm just saying this is a truck,
[08:08] you're probably not gonna
care too much about looking
[08:10] exactly perfect panel gap wise.
[08:13] All right, the next
thing we gotta talk about
[08:14] is the Cybertrucks trunk,
AKA, the truck bed.
[08:20] There's a lot going on here, actually.
[08:22] Look at this gigantic slope.
[08:24] It kind of, it looks
like a dump truck to me.
[08:26] But one thing you should
know is first of all,
[08:29] a dampened opening for the tailgate,
[08:33] but it's not a power opening tailgate.
[08:34] So you will have to
manually close the thing,
[08:37] but it is a nice soft damp.
[08:38] And then the other side is
the powered tonneau cover.
[08:42] Oh wait, I should do the thing.
[08:44] They told me it could
support up to 300 pounds.
[08:48] So...
[08:56] They told me I could
do it, so here we are.
[08:58] I'm not gonna jump, but I'm
told 300 pounds of force
[09:01] from somebody standing on one foot.
[09:03] So I think if I jumped I could
probably break the thing.
[09:05] But the fact that I'm standing on it
[09:07] and it's not breaking, that's pretty good.
[09:08] And it's a motorized tonneau cover,
[09:10] which means...
[09:19] Pretty smooth, I gotta say.
[09:21] Now once you're here,
there's a bunch of stuff
[09:23] I gotta talk about with this trunk.
[09:25] First things first, you
probably notice it slid down
[09:27] and revealed a rear window,
[09:29] which means number one,
yes, there's a rear window.
[09:32] It doesn't go up and down,
[09:34] but at least you have that glass there.
[09:35] And two, yes, that means
[09:37] that when you close the tonneau cover
[09:38] you are completely blocking
your rear visibility.
[09:42] We'll get to that later.
[09:44] So the other thing you probably noticed
[09:45] is when we first saw the Cybertruck,
[09:48] I did a video about this
on the auto-focus channel.
[09:50] The bed was just like
bare stainless steel.
[09:52] It looked kind of sick, it looked crazy,
[09:55] but you'll notice now it is fully lined.
[09:57] Tesla said they took it out
[09:58] and talked to some
construction people about it
[10:00] and were like, "All right, what
do you think of this truck?
[10:02] "What do you think of the bed?"
[10:03] And they were like, "This is awesome.
[10:04] "But the first thing I
would do is spray line this
[10:06] "so I could not damage it."
[10:07] So they just figured they
would line it themselves.
[10:09] Nice thick lining here.
[10:12] The bed size, the official
length of the bed for the F-150,
[10:17] the lightning got over there
was 66 inches on paper.
[10:21] Now when I line this up here,
[10:23] I get all the way to 72 inches.
[10:26] So it's a solid six foot bed,
[10:29] but there's a little bit
of overhang over here.
[10:31] So if I subtract a little
bit to account for that,
[10:34] it's about the same 66 inches.
[10:35] And there's a little bit of a sub trunk,
[10:38] which is pretty cool to see.
[10:40] So a lot of EVs now have
sort of a sub trunk area.
[10:43] This one no different.
[10:45] You can definitely fit
duffel bag in there,
[10:48] probably a full carry-on bag
[10:50] and there is a drain plug,
[10:52] so if you wanna make a cooler out of it
[10:54] and tailgate it's a pretty
good vehicle to do that.
[10:57] There's also some bed lighting you can see
[10:59] on the left and right.
[11:00] There's lots of lights
[11:01] and there's also this
sort of a latch system.
[11:05] So all sorts of latch points
[11:06] where you can tie things down with cables.
[11:10] What you're probably noticing though is
[11:12] there's no spare tire, no spare wheel.
[11:15] If you do want one, you
can buy one separately
[11:18] and tie it up in the trunk but
you don't get one by default.
[11:22] And then the other thing is
[11:25] there's power in the trunk.
[11:26] So two 120 volts here and one 240 volt.
[11:31] If you want to charge a vehicle
with a nine kilowatts out,
[11:36] you can use literally the thing
[11:37] you'd plug into a dryer outlet.
[11:39] You can plug that in here,
[11:40] plug it into a vehicle
[11:41] and give battery to another EV.
[11:43] So just in general, I'm glad
that more EVs are doing this,
[11:45] having the ability to power other things
[11:47] and actually charge.
[11:48] You could actually theoretically
power your house with this
[11:51] if you have the right inverter,
[11:53] but 11 kilowatts out of the charge port,
[11:56] 9.6 kilowatts out of the 240 volt onboard.
[12:00] All great stuff to have.
[12:01] I should also mention small detail,
[12:04] bottle cap opener over there
[12:06] and then some more mounting points
[12:07] for cables and things like that.
[12:09] That's the truck bed of the Cybertruck.
[12:13] There's some lights that
we'll talk about in a second,
[12:15] but let's close the tonneau cover.
[12:22] Oh, something I just noticed.
[12:23] If you press the button,
[12:25] it does the whole thing
or if you hold the button,
[12:28] it goes until you let go.
[12:30] That's a lie.
[12:33] It was doing that up until that point.
[12:36] See wait, okay, this is weird.
[12:40] It didn't do it that time,
[12:42] but it seems like if I hold it down,
[12:44] whenever I let go, it stops,
[12:46] and if I just press
it, it goes all the way
[12:49] until I cancel it,
[12:51] which it doesn't wanna cancel over there.
[12:52] Okay, I'm learning in real time.
[12:54] Close the whole thing.
[12:56] Tell me when to cancel.
[13:01] I knew it.
[13:02] Alright, we gotta talk about these doors,
[13:03] 'cause there's actually a lot to it.
[13:05] So first of all, a lot
of times on a concept car
[13:06] or a prototype, you'll see
there's no door handles
[13:09] and you're like, oh, that's cute.
[13:10] But when you ship the thing,
[13:12] you're gonna have door handles eventually.
[13:14] No door handles on the cyber truck
[13:15] and they're sticking to it.
[13:17] I have my concerns about this.
[13:18] So basically how this works
is there's a little button
[13:21] right here that's indented.
[13:23] You press that button
and when it's unlocked
[13:26] it sort of pushes it out maybe two inches.
[13:28] Then you grab in here
[13:30] and open the whole door
and then you close it.
[13:33] (door slamming)
[13:34] The auto presented windows,
[13:35] they all close themselves up here,
[13:36] they're frameless windows.
[13:38] That's cool.
[13:39] It works.
[13:40] Same thing actually back here.
[13:42] Smaller button.
[13:42] You press it, it opens it and it works.
[13:46] And this is actually
a full 90 degree door.
[13:47] I love that there's like
stainless steel in here.
[13:50] It's very clearly all metal.
[13:52] (door slamming)
[13:53] It's got a nice thunk to it too.
[13:55] But what I've noticed,
[13:57] and this is something you'd
already be thinking of
[13:58] if you live in the northeast or something,
[14:00] is if it's cold, or if it's raining
[14:02] or if it's frozen,
[14:03] if there's like an inch of ice over here,
[14:05] is this gonna work?
[14:07] Tesla's telling me, and this is a,
[14:08] this is a California company
that tells me these things,
[14:11] but they're telling me
up to an inch of ice.
[14:13] If you can break through that ice
[14:14] and press this button,
[14:15] it'll push with enough force
[14:17] to open it and break the ice off.
[14:20] I hope that's true.
[14:21] That's debatable, we'll see.
[14:23] But the other thing about that
is I think a lot of people
[14:25] are going to open it down
here on the stainless steel
[14:29] (door slamming)
[14:30] and you can see the
fingerprints go so hard
[14:34] when you open it like that.
[14:35] And because there's no door handles,
[14:36] there's not really a good way
[14:38] of telling someone how to get in.
[14:39] So a lot of people are just
gonna grab it right there
[14:42] and fingerprint, look at,
there's just tons of fingerprints
[14:45] on the side here.
[14:46] So I don't know, there's
gonna be a lot of Cybertrucks
[14:48] floating around with lots of fingerprints
[14:50] around the place that people's
hands go to open the doors.
[14:54] All right, front of the truck here.
[14:55] Couple things that are of note.
[14:57] First of all, if we go down low,
[14:58] this plastic bumper pretty solid,
[15:01] but also there's two tow
hitch rigs on the front,
[15:05] which is awesome.
[15:06] There is a front camera for
the first time ever in a Tesla,
[15:10] believe it or not.
[15:11] It's useful on a truck like this
[15:12] where you can't actually
see over the front.
[15:15] Then you have this huge
daytime running light,
[15:17] but also the headlights,
the actual headlights
[15:19] are just these slots down here.
[15:20] I'll show some night, you'll
see some night driving footage.
[15:23] So you'll see what the
headlights look like.
[15:24] But then the thing
everybody's been asking about
[15:26] and I've seen mostly on Twitter
[15:27] is there actually a front trunk in here?
[15:29] If so, how big is it?
[15:31] Yes, there's a front trunk
[15:32] and it's automatically opening
[15:34] so you just reach in and push the button
[15:35] in like that and it's a
pretty shallow front trunk,
[15:40] I gotta say.
[15:42] This is also the part
where I feel compelled
[15:44] to mention that I haven't
seen a single Tesla logo yet
[15:47] on this entire truck.
[15:48] It's mostly branded with Cybertruck
[15:51] in this kind of a welded
text, which is kind of cool,
[15:56] but it's a pretty shallow front trunk.
[15:57] I mean I can sit in here
[15:58] and you're probably seeing
much too shaded right now,
[16:02] so it's kind of tough to
understand how big it is,
[16:03] but it's only maybe the size of two
[16:07] of these Ridge suitcases.
[16:10] So I'm gonna put two Ridge carry-ons
[16:12] in the front of this thing,
[16:15] see if I can actually fit both.
[16:18] 'Cause this is basically the exact size
[16:20] you'd want for like an airplane overhead.
[16:22] If you actually had to travel
[16:23] with stuff in the front
trunk, could you fit it?
[16:29] (alarm beeping quietly)
[16:30] Not quite, it's really close.
[16:32] I think maybe you might
have to do some Jenga
[16:36] (suitcases shuffling)
to turn them down.
[16:41] As long as they're behind this seal
[16:43] I think I'm good.
[16:45] Take two.
(trunk clicking)
[16:48] Okay, so that's basically your exact limit
[16:51] is two Ridge carry-ons.
[16:53] Shout out to Ridge for
sponsoring this video.
[16:56] So these Ridge carry-ons which
are in these nice colors.
[16:58] They also have a 30% thicker shell
[17:00] than a standard carry on
while staying lightweight.
[17:03] Some nice carbon fiber accents,
[17:05] a durable and grippy handle
[17:06] and they're weatherproof.
[17:07] So wherever you go, if
it's raining, you're good.
[17:10] And if you want a matching Ridge wallet,
[17:11] it literally comes in the same colors.
[17:13] So you've got Royal black,
Alpine Navy, Basecamp Orange
[17:17] and Matte olive.
[17:18] And shout out to Ridge for offering
[17:20] a 99 day risk-free trial.
[17:22] So if you don't like it for
any reason within 99 days,
[17:25] you can literally send it back
[17:26] for a refund, no questions asked.
[17:28] So check out the bags, the wallets
[17:29] and everything else Ridge makes
[17:31] and get a special offer at my link below
[17:33] or at ridge.com/mkbhd.
[17:35] Alright, so now let's get to the interior
[17:39] (door banging)
of the Cybertruck.
[17:41] And once again, there's a lot going on,
[17:44] but I think probably the
first thing you notice
[17:47] is the only curve in the entire interior
[17:50] is this steering wheel.
[17:52] And yes, it's a wheel, it's not a yolk.
[17:54] I'm pretty sure when they
first showed the car,
[17:56] one of the big things they showed was
[17:57] it had a yolk and it had
this crazy like marble shelf
[18:02] at the front.
[18:03] Now it's looking a lot
more normal car-like,
[18:07] but there are still a lot to go over.
[18:08] So first of all, this glass,
[18:11] this glass canopy from the
nose of the car basically
[18:15] all the way back to
right in front of my head
[18:18] is the single largest piece of glass
[18:20] in the entire automotive industry.
[18:23] Like if you tried to order
a piece of glass this big
[18:25] for a house would be a big piece of glass.
[18:27] But this is the biggest
windshield we've ever seen.
[18:30] And it kind of is this
nice dramatic canopy
[18:33] when you're just like looking around
[18:34] and visibility in the truck is very good.
[18:37] You also have these
little removable sunshades
[18:43] that are actually pretty big
[18:44] and there's this nice, look
at this magnetic connector
[18:47] (connector clicking)
up top to get that in place.
[18:49] So that's cool and everything.
[18:50] But aside from that, no other curves.
[18:53] Lots of straight angles and
triangles and things like that.
[18:57] A good amount of door storage.
[18:58] So I think you could fit probably
[19:00] two water bottles in there.
[19:02] There's some tray storage up here.
[19:05] Then you get up to here
[19:06] and there's all four window controls,
[19:08] the door latch to electronically open it,
[19:10] but also the emergency door latch open.
[19:12] So if you lose power every door
[19:14] that's electronically latched
[19:15] has to have that manual opening as well.
[19:17] And then in the middle
[19:18] you've got just kind of
a bunch of open space.
[19:21] I kind of like the pedals down there.
[19:22] I think they're metal.
[19:23] But then you have just
this big open tray space,
[19:26] which I believe the Rivian also has.
[19:28] And then in front two wireless chargers,
[19:31] two cup holders, a big
old armrest in the middle
[19:35] and a bunch of storage in here,
[19:36] including another 120 volt outlet
[19:38] and a single 65 watt USBC charging port.
[19:43] And then you're sort of in the cabin
[19:46] and this is where I
think you kind of return
[19:50] to the normal Tesla look,
[19:51] which is very minimal.
[19:53] I do like this material better
[19:56] than what they had before,
[19:57] though it's not the
best build in the world.
[20:01] Tesla's been improving
with their build quality,
[20:03] but it is what it is.
[20:05] But you can literally,
[20:06] you can like lose
something in front of you.
[20:08] Like if I put like a, like
a marble or a pizza box
[20:12] or something it, it could slide forward.
[20:13] Of course I could
accelerate and get it back,
[20:15] but there's just a ton of room.
[20:17] And then I'm thinking about visibility
[20:19] over the nose of the car.
[20:21] Man, it's not great.
[20:24] I feel like the more I drive this car,
[20:25] the more I get accustomed
to the size of it.
[20:27] But I really don't feel like
[20:29] I'm looking right down over the nose.
[20:31] I'm looking out at the
end of the windshield
[20:34] and then sort of guessing
where the nose is.
[20:36] So, okay, a couple of the smaller things.
[20:37] First of all, this light up here,
[20:40] touch sensitive, I think
that's pretty cool.
[20:42] There's ambient lights all
the way around the cabin
[20:43] and you can change the color
of that with RGB with software.
[20:46] I'll get to the software in a second.
[20:48] There's also an interior
facing cabin camera
[20:50] and there would normally be,
[20:51] this is one of the prototyping things,
[20:53] but there would normally be a
regular rear view camera here.
[20:56] Now as I mentioned, you
don't actually get to see
[21:00] out the back from the
mirror if your tonneau cover
[21:02] is closed, but there
also is no camera option
[21:07] for that rear view mirror to
turn into a feed from a camera
[21:10] instead that will always be on the screen.
[21:14] And I think I've found that
that's, it's actually fine.
[21:16] You just sort of train yourself
[21:17] to glance at the top of the screen
[21:19] instead of at where
the mirror normally is.
[21:21] But that's something to note.
[21:23] And one more thing, what was I gonna say?
[21:25] Oh yeah, huge tinted roof over your head,
[21:29] all the way back over
the passenger's heads
[21:30] and a ton of speakers.
[21:32] Not a single curve to any
of the speaker grills,
[21:35] but there are speaker
grills all over this cabin
[21:37] and they're all either
trapezoids or squares.
[21:40] Okay, something I've just realized,
[21:42] I thought that it was required
[21:44] that the only actual physical button
[21:46] you need in your car
is the hazards button.
[21:49] This truck does not have a hazards button,
[21:51] it has a touch sensitive hazards thing.
[21:54] But then there's also your park, reverse,
[21:56] neutral and drive gears
[21:57] if you actually wanna change them
[21:59] up above your head.
[22:02] I've never seen that there're
in any car, ever actually.
[22:06] Typically it's right in front of you
[22:07] with the paddles shifters
or your gear selectors
[22:10] and you can still do it on the screen
[22:12] like you can in other Teslas.
[22:13] But that, that's new.
[22:15] That's definitely new.
[22:17] Okay, now the backseat of the Cybertruck,
[22:22] it's weirder than you think.
[22:24] All right, first of all,
[22:25] I like that the door's open 90 degrees,
[22:27] you get the seat back in front of you,
[22:29] really good rear leg room.
[22:32] Mostly because the seat in front of me
[22:34] is on these cool Cybertruck
looking rectangular risers.
[22:37] But that means I have real space
[22:39] to put my feet under
the seat in front of me,
[22:40] which is huge for leg room.
[22:42] So either side, totally fine, middle,
[22:45] not the best leg room ever,
[22:47] but still a totally great backseat.
[22:47] Got another screen back here
[22:48] that I'll show you in a second.
[22:50] There's a little bit of seat back storage,
[22:51] but check this out.
[22:52] There's a little trick to the back seat.
[22:54] Just for storage, so although you already
[22:56] have a front trunk and a rear trunk,
[22:58] if you want even more covered storage
[23:01] with this latch right here,
[23:04] the right seat actually
comes completely up
[23:07] and you can just keep stuff down here
[23:09] if there's no person here.
[23:10] Matter of fact, the left
two seats come over here,
[23:13] also do the same thing.
[23:14] I'm gonna get out and
pull that latch as well.
[23:18] And then that's just, that's
a ton of room for activities.
[23:21] Look at this, not that that's
better than having a seat,
[23:24] but you could put a
bunch of boxes back here.
[23:26] You could put, I don't know,
[23:28] you could just put stuff back here.
[23:30] Also, there's the nine
and a half inch screen
[23:32] for the passengers, which
is where I discovered
[23:34] you can move the passenger seat,
[23:38] not the driver's seat on the screen.
[23:40] And these are also heated
left and right, not middle,
[23:42] but heated, left and right rear seats.
[23:45] They look ventilated, they look cool,
[23:47] but they don't do that.
[23:48] Just heat.
[23:51] Or you could just like watch a movie
[23:52] or direct your airflow.
[23:56] Cool.
[23:56] Okay, so whenever you're talking about
[23:58] a new vehicle like this,
[23:59] a new platform like this,
[24:00] you gotta talk vehicle controls.
[24:02] So as I'm in the driver's seat,
[24:03] that's gonna be this new 18
and a half inch touchscreen
[24:05] in the center, biggest ever in a Tesla.
[24:07] It's also the biggest ever car.
[24:09] And this steering wheel, which
I got a lot to say about it,
[24:13] but you're gonna notice
[24:14] it looks pretty familiar
to any other Tesla.
[24:16] But they have made some key changes
[24:19] that I think I actually like a lot.
[24:21] There's still no stalks,
there's still no blinker stalks,
[24:24] still no drive, reverse, all that stuff.
[24:27] But the buttons on the steering wheel
[24:29] are at least now haptic
like actual buttons.
[24:33] They're not haptic touch controls
[24:34] where you touch it and it
vibrates to simulate a button.
[24:36] Now it actually clicks
and moves this time.
[24:38] So that's awesome.
[24:40] So at least that's better.
[24:41] So that's the blinkers
on the steering wheel.
[24:43] That's your headlights.
[24:44] That's your giant windshield wiper,
[24:46] which I'll talk about.
[24:47] And your voice controls,
[24:48] you still got your wheels up and down
[24:49] for volume of media and
your autopilot controls.
[24:53] And then this sort of a flat squirkle,
[24:56] I guess is what you'd call it,
[24:57] like a squared off circle type
thing for the steering wheel.
[25:00] Oh, and then
(horn honking)
[25:03] it's a real horn this time.
[25:05] There's no like button on
the steering wheel horn
[25:07] like in my car.
[25:08] So I really appreciate that.
[25:10] Also, again, no Tesla logo
on the steering wheel.
[25:13] It's a Cybertruck like
trapezoid silhouette type thing.
[25:16] So again, I think the only
Tesla logo in the whole car
[25:19] is literally the key,
same as every other Tesla.
[25:23] But that brings us of
course to the new software.
[25:25] So I think they've done an
actually really, really good job
[25:28] with the software in
this all new cyber UI.
[25:31] So, if you've used a Tesla before,
[25:33] it's laid out the exact same way,
[25:35] but it's all themed in
a very Cybertruck way.
[25:37] But there's some new little
things that they've done.
[25:39] It's really well thought out.
[25:40] And I still honestly, after using it,
[25:42] I really feel like Tesla
has the best software
[25:44] in the car industry that's
not CarPlay and Android Auto.
[25:48] So first of all, you start
with just this huge Cybertruck
[25:51] in the middle for all
your vehicle controls.
[25:54] There's little hovering dots.
[25:55] So if you want to open the tailgate
[25:58] or open the Tonneau cover, you can do that
[26:00] with any of these little hovering buttons.
[26:03] Open the charge port flap,
charge port flap, cool.
[26:08] But then all of the rest
of the looks about the car,
[26:12] you can adjust in real time.
[26:14] So first of all, ride height,
[26:16] you tap the wheel there
[26:17] we are at the sort of a entry ride height
[26:20] where it squats to be as
easy as possible to get into.
[26:23] You can also go low, medium or high
[26:25] and it adjusts super fast.
[26:27] There's a pretty awesome 12
inches of suspension travel
[26:30] between the lowest mode
and the highest mode.
[26:33] You can go all the way up to 17 inches
[26:35] of clearance in off-road mode.
[26:37] Extract mode is the absolute highest.
[26:39] It'll add another 80
millimeters of clearance,
[26:41] but it'll go a foot down from that.
[26:43] So that's pretty sick.
[26:44] And there are aluminum skid plates
[26:45] slash aero shields at
the bottom of the truck.
[26:48] I continue to move around.
[26:50] If I lower the window, for example,
[26:52] look at the window on the car,
[26:54] halfway down, halfway down.
[26:57] I go all the way down on this window,
[26:59] all the way down on that window.
[27:00] So that's real time.
[27:02] I get my lights in real time.
[27:03] I have the headlights down here.
[27:06] If I even turn the steering wheel,
[27:09] all of that moves in real time.
[27:11] And it's kind of on
this like Mars terrain,
[27:13] cyber terrain, whatever you wanna call it.
[27:15] I think that's sweet.
[27:16] So you just get a full
overview of the car there.
[27:17] If you've got your media, your navigation,
[27:20] it's telling me if I need to close my door
[27:21] or fasten my seatbelt,
[27:23] and this is my range indicator up here,
[27:25] 223 miles right now, which
if I tap it is 76% battery,
[27:29] pretty close to what I'm expecting.
[27:31] And then you see your navigation,
[27:33] which basically if you just swipe over,
[27:35] you can fill that right
two thirds of the screen
[27:38] with navigation and keep your
vehicle controls on the left.
[27:41] And when you're in drive,
[27:42] that looks just like it
normally does in a Tesla
[27:43] with other stuff on the road.
[27:45] But now you have all
your navigation stuff.
[27:47] You always have all your stuff in the dock
[27:49] down at the bottom,
[27:50] heated steering wheel with two levels,
[27:53] which is nice now and your
heated and cooled front seats,
[27:57] which is great.
[27:58] So if you just get into
controls and dynamics,
[28:00] these are sort of the two spaces
[28:02] you'll spend the most time.
[28:03] Controls is all of the things
with just opening and closing,
[28:07] unlocking screen brightness, headlights,
[28:10] your glove box is a drawer,
[28:11] which I think is a little bit unique,
[28:14] a button on the screen.
[28:15] I kind of wish you still had a
button to open the glove box.
[28:17] But all of that is here.
[28:19] And then dynamics is where you have all
[28:23] of your typical like steering
[28:25] and acceleration profiles for Tesla.
[28:27] So in the triple motor version,
[28:29] that would be comfort mode,
[28:31] standard mode and beast mode,
[28:34] little cringey I guess.
[28:35] But that is your maximum acceleration
[28:38] and then your ride and handling
[28:40] and your preferred ride height.
[28:42] If you go custom, you can actually
[28:43] individually adjust these things.
[28:45] So acceleration, I'm gonna go beast mode,
[28:47] but ride and handling,
[28:48] maybe you want it to be
a little more relaxed
[28:50] or a little more focused.
[28:52] That just basically means your damping
[28:53] and your suspension is
either a little firmer
[28:56] or a little softer.
[28:57] I gotta say though, the
steering is, in my opinion,
[29:00] the craziest thing about
the Tesla Cybertruck.
[29:03] Crazier than the design,
crazier than the dimensions,
[29:05] crazier than everything else
about it is the steering.
[29:08] So it's a steer by wire system.
[29:10] This is the first time Tesla's done this.
[29:11] You can't actually change
the steering weight
[29:14] or steering feel.
[29:15] It's always the same ratio all the time.
[29:16] But it's crazy for two reasons.
[29:18] One, there is rear axle steering
[29:21] and it is very, very
active and really helpful.
[29:24] And two is the total turn
is less than 180 degrees
[29:29] for your maximum tightest turn.
[29:31] Usually you're used to doing
[29:32] a whole bunch of movement on the wheel.
[29:34] You don't have to do that anymore.
[29:36] So that kind of makes the muscle memory
[29:38] of grabbing the top of
the squirkle useless.
[29:40] So first of all, the rear
wheel steer, it's awesome.
[29:43] It's up to 10 degrees in
the opposite direction
[29:46] of the front wheels.
[29:47] At low speeds under 40 miles an hour.
[29:49] And what that does, if
you've heard of this before,
[29:51] it effectively shortens the wheel base
[29:53] and allows you to turn way, way tighter.
[29:56] I think we'll do a sort of a comparison
[29:57] with the F-150 Lightning,
[29:59] which is a normal truck that doesn't have
[30:01] 10 degrees of rear wheel steer.
[30:02] And this one, it just means
you can turn way sharper.
[30:06] It feels way more nimble in parking lots.
[30:08] It feels like it shrinks the wheel base,
[30:10] the whole dimensions of the truck.
[30:12] It's great, it takes some getting used to,
[30:14] but it's very useful.
[30:15] And then at higher speeds
above 40 miles an hour
[30:18] is when it actually
changes one or two degrees
[30:20] in the same direction as the front wheel.
[30:23] So that's gonna feel more like
lengthening the wheel base
[30:26] and a more stable movement
[30:27] changing between lanes at
highway speed, stuff like that.
[30:30] But the fact that your
entire steering radius
[30:34] is right there in less than one turn,
[30:37] like half a turn, is crazy.
[30:39] It takes some getting used to.
[30:41] It is awesome that you
can turn around so easily
[30:44] and make those tight parking lot maneuvers
[30:46] and make this big truck feel smaller.
[30:49] But it is, it's really, it's a lot.
[30:52] It's gonna take some getting used to,
[30:54] but I think we should just
get to driving this thing.
[30:57] So let's do it.
[30:58] Let's drive the Cybertruck.
[31:00] All right, driving the Tesla Cybertruck.
[31:06] Feels like a Doug Miro
way to start the video,
[31:08] but man, okay, it still
doesn't really feel
[31:11] like a real vehicle, but it definitely is.
[31:14] And first impression really is,
[31:19] well okay, it feels like a Tesla.
[31:21] That's not gonna be a shocker.
[31:22] Really instant throttle response.
[31:25] This is the triple motor
version, it's the beast.
[31:29] But also like spacing wise.
[31:30] I'm just looking around,
[31:31] just trying to feel how
big this vehicle is.
[31:33] This is a small road, school bus.
[31:35] I'm able to maneuver around though.
[31:38] I have pretty good visibility everywhere.
[31:40] I'm just thinking a lot about
[31:41] where the nose of the truck is,
[31:44] because it is such a short nose.
[31:45] It's a really different, different ratio.
[31:48] I'm not used to the hood being that short
[31:50] compared to where the windshield is,
[31:52] but either way it's pretty quiet.
[31:55] I will say these laminated
windows do a good job
[31:59] of sealing out all the noise.
[32:01] They also happen to be shatterproof.
[32:03] The truck also happens to
be allegedly bulletproof.
[32:07] I'm not testing that in this video,
[32:08] but you've seen the pictures.
[32:11] So the idea is it's really well built.
[32:14] I'm just trying to figure out,
[32:15] all right, this feels nimble, right?
[32:17] Steering is the way it's not gonna change.
[32:20] So this is the way it always is.
[32:23] Getting used to the
steering is really gonna be
[32:24] the number one thing for people.
[32:26] They're not gonna be used to
[32:27] the entire steering being
less than an entire turn.
[32:31] It's a half a turn, 180
degrees, I think it's 170,
[32:34] and it is a pretty big truck,
[32:37] but it's, I feel like
it's a tiny bit smaller
[32:40] than the F-150 Lightning.
[32:41] I think they did a good job
[32:42] of giving you as much space as you can.
[32:44] Like this is a spacious cabin,
[32:45] spacious back seats as I showed you,
[32:48] and a full six foot bed.
[32:50] But it's got the smallest front.
[32:52] Even smaller than the smaller Rivian R1T.
[32:55] So they've kind of pushed around
[32:57] the dimensions a little bit.
[32:58] But second thing is just the vast distance
[33:01] between me and the front of the windshield
[33:03] and then I just straight up
can't see the front of the car.
[33:06] I can't see the nose no
matter how high I look.
[33:09] That's just different, very different.
[33:13] Something I'm gonna have to get used to.
[33:14] Okay, love that the button blinkers
[33:18] are actually physical buttons
[33:20] and now we're on a bit of a crazier road
[33:22] so we can...
(car buzzing quietly)
[33:23] Holy, come on.
[33:27] That's crazy.
[33:29] Actually, the suspension
pretty firm right now
[33:32] and there is a large delta
between the firmest suspension
[33:36] and the softest suspension
that you can have.
[33:39] The body itself, thanks
to the stainless steel,
[33:41] thanks to the way it's built is very,
[33:43] very stiff, torsionally stiff.
[33:45] It's very rigid.
[33:47] And so all of that effort
to be either soft or firm
[33:50] goes on the suspension
[33:51] and they have a really good suspension,
[33:53] really good travel, really fast travel.
[33:55] It really is very quiet.
[33:56] Okay, a couple other interesting
things that you note.
[33:59] One is like huge amount of glass,
[34:01] world's largest windshield
is pretty funny.
[34:04] I think with every Tesla I've reviewed
[34:05] for the past couple years,
[34:06] there's always been one
muscle memory remap required
[34:10] to get used to this thing.
[34:10] And I think with previous Teslas,
[34:12] like we all know about the center screen,
[34:14] you're used to checking right
in front of you for the speed.
[34:16] Now you have to look over to the side.
[34:17] Just a little remap there.
[34:19] With the yolk steering wheel
[34:20] and the buttons on the steering wheel,
[34:22] that's a remap people have to adjust to.
[34:24] They're pretty stubborn about this stuff.
[34:26] With this one, it's gonna be that there
[34:28] is no rear visibility with the mirror
[34:31] when the tonneau cover's closed.
[34:33] So my tonneau cover's closed right now,
[34:35] can't see anything behind me,
[34:37] but I've sort of started to
remap my glance behind me
[34:41] to the preview of the rear facing camera,
[34:44] which is on the screen all the time.
[34:46] And so I just keep glancing
there to see what's behind me.
[34:48] You can actually move it to
the left or right hand side
[34:50] so you get a bigger preview
when it's on the right
[34:52] or you can just move it on the left.
[34:54] So yeah, that's the Cybertruck.
[34:55] Muscle memory remap is
your rear view mirror
[34:58] doesn't have a camera mode.
[34:59] So if you wanna check behind you
[35:01] while the tonneau cover's closed,
[35:02] you're looking down there.
[35:04] All right, we got a nice
little highway coming up.
[35:06] I like instinctively put my
hand on this side of the wheel
[35:08] to get ready for a big turn.
[35:09] - Oh my god.
- But I don't have to do it
[35:11] because it's so little.
[35:14] It's a little turn.
[35:14] All right, let's get on the highway.
[35:19] So you don't need a ton of horsepower
[35:21] for regular pickup truck stuff,
[35:23] but merging onto a highway,
[35:25] makes a lot of sense.
[35:27] Let me get some space between
the car in front of me.
[35:31] Oh my God, on all season
tires, all terrain tires.
[35:38] Shouldn't be able to do that.
[35:40] A couple other interesting
things though about this truck.
[35:42] One, world's largest
windshield wiper is hilarious.
[35:48] It looks ridiculous.
[35:50] It might be logistically ridiculous too.
[35:53] I don't know if in the ice or the snow,
[35:56] if it's gonna be able to like break apart
[35:58] enough ice to move that
huge windshield wiper.
[36:01] There's probably a much
bigger motor to move it,
[36:04] but it works.
[36:07] So Neil, if you're wondering,
[36:08] it doesn't quite cover
the entire windshield,
[36:11] but it does go above my head
[36:13] and cover 75% of what the
passenger's gonna see too.
[36:16] So I feel like it's working at least.
[36:19] And then the other thing to
note is for your road tripping
[36:21] totally compatible with all
the Tesla superchargers,
[36:24] it has all of the autopilot
stuff that other Teslas have,
[36:26] but it's also now an
800 volt architecture.
[36:30] And what that basically means
[36:31] is it's able to charge
faster at V4 superchargers
[36:34] and it's able to make total wires thinner.
[36:37] because they conduct better
and they're more efficient.
[36:40] And so the total wire
weight of the car goes down
[36:43] for all of the high voltage systems.
[36:44] It also has a 48 volt low voltage system,
[36:48] which is four times the normal 12 volts
[36:50] you'd see in most cars.
[36:51] So in general this is,
it feels future proof
[36:54] for that reason, but it'll
still charge just the same
[36:57] as any other Tesla V3
and V2 superchargers.
[37:00] A little more road noise too,
[37:02] you notice in a little more,
[37:03] a little more all-terrain tread
[37:05] coming through to the cabin.
[37:08] These bespoke tires I'm
told do have foam in them,
[37:10] but you can still hear it and feel it.
[37:14] Tiny bit of steering feel, that's weird.
[37:16] Teslas are usually pretty numb,
[37:18] but this does have some steering feel.
[37:20] Now probably the funniest,
most interesting option
[37:22] that I'm told about with this truck
[37:24] is the extended battery option.
[37:26] So all the cyber trucks will have
[37:28] the same 123 kilowatt hour battery size.
[37:31] But as we all know, long road trips
[37:34] and towing and hauling things especially
[37:36] takes a toll on your battery.
[37:37] So there will be an optional battery,
[37:40] an add-on battery that
you put in the trunk
[37:43] that adds 120 miles of range.
[37:46] It also adds a ton of weight
[37:47] 'cause now you're hauling
around a huge battery,
[37:49] but now you have close to a
400, 450 mile range truck,
[37:54] which might be what people need
[37:56] to haul big things if
they're gonna work with it.
[37:59] It's interesting.
[38:00] I really feel like the biggest
strength of the Cybertruck
[38:02] is it's gotta be the
power, the sheer force
[38:07] of 2.7 seconds, zero to
60, 850 ish horsepower
[38:13] like no other truck moves
[38:16] in a straight line like this one does.
[38:18] But I'm also gonna include
the steering as a pro,
[38:21] you gotta get used to it.
[38:23] But again, that tight turning radius
[38:25] and how nimble it feels like on a highway
[38:28] that's remarkably responsive.
[38:30] Like I can turn my wheel
like this in a Model S Plaid
[38:33] and it does not feel
as responsive as this.
[38:36] That's a crazy thing to say.
[38:37] So then it's downside is gonna be one,
[38:42] just that people think
it's ugly and that's fine.
[38:46] A lot of people are gonna think it's ugly.
[38:48] And two is it's more expensive
than we originally thought.
[38:50] It doesn't have that price advantage.
[38:52] I am driving a hundred thousand
dollars truck right now.
[38:55] There's no way around that.
[38:57] The F-150 Lightning
I'm following right now
[38:59] is gonna cost significantly less.
[39:00] The Rivian R1T and the and the Hummer
[39:03] are also very expensive,
[39:04] but it's no longer an advantage
[39:06] that we might have
thought it was gonna be.
[39:08] Now this isn't a review.
[39:09] I haven't towed anything with this.
[39:10] I haven't used any of
the trailer features.
[39:12] I haven't filled it up with rocks
[39:14] and mud and gotten it dirty.
[39:15] I haven't off roaded at all.
[39:17] There's a total separate off-road mode
[39:19] in the thing I haven't used.
[39:20] I haven't road tripped in it.
[39:22] I haven't lived with it.
[39:23] I do have an order so I
plan on doing all that.
[39:25] So make sure you get subscribed
[39:26] to see the full review of the
Cybertruck when it comes out.
[39:29] But I think generally, as this
is my second impressions ever
[39:32] and first time ever driving the thing,
[39:34] I think they really got
themselves something solid here.
[39:37] We're gonna have to see
about fit and finish.
[39:40] A lot of, let's see,
a lot of wait and see,
[39:42] but I'm impressed with this.
[39:44] I'm impressed.
[39:46] So lemme know what you think.
[39:47] Obviously, there're gonna be
[39:48] some polarizing thoughts on the looks.
[39:49] Let me know if you're in the,
[39:51] this thing is ugly and
I'll never buy it camp.
[39:52] Why is this thing looking like
[39:53] a stainless steel refrigerator on wheels?
[39:55] I totally get it,
[39:57] but lemme know what you
think about Cybertruck
[39:59] versus F-150 Lightning versus Rivian R1T.
[40:04] Let me know if there are other things
[40:05] you want to see in a video
[40:06] then get subscribed to me
[40:07] among the first to see that stuff.
[40:11] I think that's about it for this one.
[40:12] Thanks for watching.
[40:13] Catch you later, peace.
[40:16] (upbeat music)
