Video Summary

Here is a summary of the YouTube video review of the Tesla Cybertruck:

- The Cybertruck is designed to get a reaction and is like a rolling sci-fi film prop from the dark recesses of Elon's brain.
- Is it all hype or actually revolutionary?
- A production intent top-spec tri-motor version, internally called "The Beast" at $100,000, two motors on the rear axle, one permanent magnet motor on the front.
- Lower-cost dual motor and single motor rear-wheel drive models will follow.
- There's significant inflation from the original 40,000 dollar starting price.
- 845 horsepower and 0 to 62 mph in 2.6 seconds.
- It can tow up to five tons and weighs over three tons, with a 123 kWh battery, Tesla's biggest yet, giving 325-mile range.
- In the city, the interior is sparse with features and controls consolidated in the central screen.
- Four-wheel steering with variable ratio is included. The steering takes getting used to but feels organic at higher speeds.
- It has a bullet-proof stainless steel exoskeleton, full-hard sheet metal, making stamping impossible.
- This version cannot be sold outside the US for pedestrian safety rules.
- Driving experience: it is obscenely fast for something so large, masking its mass due to all the torque, but not car-like.
- There is no rear-view mirror in this car: it's on the touchscreen.
- Rear seating is spacious.
- A tonneau is standard, adding to the car's efficiency
- Electric outlets in the bed
- The trunk offers limited space due to components.
- One-year production is expected to max out around a hundred trucks per week.
- There is an L track for accessories
- Has no traditional car door handles.
- To obtain the perfect surface is costly.
- It requires the brain to be rewired. It's not easy to come to terms with, but worth it.
- Conclusion: If you loved the prototype and the price doesn't scare you, you'll love the Cybertruck when you see it for real.
