Video Summary
After a month of driving a Tesla Cybertruck every day, here are a few thoughts:- The Cybertruck brings smiles to peoples faces and makes their day.
- To get the car, the biggest question was how to use the truck.
- Even if you do not need a truck, the Cybertruck is the weirdest coolest looking car out there.
Range:
- Claimed 340 mile range on a single charge.
- No configurations exist like on other Teslas, e.g. wheel changes.
- Range exceeds estimate with 318 miles and 255 kW charging.
- No issues charging the Cybertruck for 15 minutes or less.
- Road trip showed 182 miles non-stop with 72 miles left.
- Average was 507 Wh per mile.
Ride and Handling:
- The Cybertruck ride and handling is unique.
- It features steer by wire and independent rear steering, which are game changers for Tesla.
- At low speeds small adjustments with the steering wheel to make turns.
- Highway vibrations coming from the steering wheel.
- This is not uncomfortable or a tire balance issue.
- Due to the large tread, you do notice the vibration more compared to other models.
Garage Fit:
- The Cybertruck does fit in a normal-sized garage.
- Be careful if near another car, as you can cause scratches.
- It is too long and takes over the use of the space.
Issues So Far:
- The Cybertruck does not have any vision sensors (will be available later).
- No lock confirmation horn sound like all other Teslas have.
- The heat on the Cybertruck died, with service required.
- Stainless scratches very easily, requiring paint film or polishing.
Safety Issues:
- The doors are not child friendly.
- Panels can be super sharp.
Camera Issues:
- Poor image quality of the rear-view mirror.
- Should have been a digital rear-view mirror.
- This camera was placed low and susceptible to dirt and grime.
- No cabin overheat protection.
- No 12V cigarette lighter outlet, limiting charging of items like a radar detector.
Summary:
- Car brings lots of stares from the public.
- The Cybertruck requires knowing the dimensions real good to be able to park well, but overall the reviewer is happy.
