Being iconic doesn't require it to be rare. The VW Beetle is iconic despite being one of the most mass-produced cars of all time.
Came to comment about the Beetle but you beetled me to the punch.
Came to the comments for this. I also don't understand why being iconic = being rare to be honest.
I don't think anything rare can be iconic! it is just rare, A coke bottle, iPod, pack of marlboros, Nokia 3310, a submariner, ak47, Chanel no 5... how can it be iconic if it doesn't get exposed to large number of people? Bugattis etc.. are rare, but lot of people have exposure to it through internet etc..

And if you add Japanese and Korean cars, the US had maybe one or two truly "iconic" cars (Cybertruck ain't one of them btw). Maybe you can learn from us and curb your hubris a bit?

Its not something current truck owners care about. Everyone knows trucks are a bit more dangerous.
@@sean_haz cybertrucks in particular are incredibly dangerous bc of the rigid body. Very dangerous for people inside during crashes
@@lilsneady BS. It wouldnt have been street legal if it was. It has been tested like every other car.
That biker giving you the thumbs down is because they saw the culmination of all the years of 'bigger is better' car designs making the roads less and less safe. I'll take my old VW sedan design any day. There's already too many SUVs around here and it's honestly becoming a problem on the road and in parking lots. Final verdict on the car is that it's not safe for others and I don't want to see one. The tech and design to make it functional is cool though.

Smaller hood on the cybertruck vs ford 150/traditional trucks high and huge hoods means cybertruck is safer for pedestrians.
How did this even get approved in terms of safety for others ??
yeah this is surely going to make the road unsafe now. *looks out the window at dump trucks and tractor trailers going by*
Freaking pop up headlights we're phased out due to safety concerns because of their "sharp" edges. The cybertruck literally kicks and spits on that by making everything a sharp edge.

12:46 be real man, very few trucks have the CEO of the company saying unrealistic stuff like “you will be able to use it as a boat briefly”
What's wild about that that most people wouldn't be aware of - the military specifically has vehicles made to traverse bodies of water successfully. But get this - each vehicle, ACVS, IFVs, BMPs, whatever that is about to undergo a water maneuver often has to be modified to put it into "boat" mode prior to the traversal. Beyond that, each and every vehicle I have ever encountered in the Marines requires significant additional maintenance to be performed, and be de-"boat" mode'd after the crossing. Driving a stainless steel toaster that is already having issues with rusting due to car washes is... crazy. I can't imagine what actually using this as a boat would cause to the vehicle.
Here’s some food for thought: if the car gets into an accident, what crumples? Something has to, so if the car isn’t taking the hit, the only one crumpling will be the occupant inside. Not a pretty image. Also, how have people genuinely cut their fingers trying to open the door? It’s confusing and sad how many are convinced that this is the future. The future has incredibly low standards.

There are numerous "iconic" popular cars: Volkswagen Typ 1 “Beetle,” VW Typ 2 “Bus,” Citroën 2CV, Citroën DS, Citroën Traction Avant, Ford Model T, Ford Sierra, BMC Austin/Morris Mini, Austin Seven, Fiat 500 “Topolino,” Fiat “Nuova” 500, Fiat Panda, Fiat Multipla, Renault Twingo, Renault Espace, Land Rover “Defender,” Jeep CJ, etc.
If anything, I'd argue the MAJORITY of the most iconic cars in history have been mass-produced.
this.
Heck you could add the 911 to that list as in reality that’s mass produced, even if it has some low volume specials
Some of of he cars listed are less iconic than duds (Fiat Multipla 🙄). But yes, iconic and mass produced is not a contradiction.
Forgot Trabant
You're probably a little young, but the VW Beetle or original Mini bridged this iconic to popular paradox with no detriment to their legacy.
I've been to San Francisco 10 years ago and like half of the cars on the streets were Minis. It was awesome. Now there are huge trucks instead.
@@MegaKiri11 yeah I missed the 90s in 2000s when cars looked a bit better, I thought it would get cooler overtime but now everything is round and boring. If it’s not boring, then it’s a pick up truck and here in Wisconsin. It’s gotten really bad. There are pick up trucks everywhere and everyone who drives a pick up truck is a terrible driver and they cut people off and speed everywhere. Every time I see someone driving a pick up truck. I just think they’ve been duped by the car manufacturers because they don’t know better.
What about the rusting issues the cybertrucks are starting to have?
People reporting that they got 2 hours, 2 months, who-knows out of this thing before random problems with the digital electronics bricked it. Starts getting mini-rust stains after a couple hours in rain. No thanks. What a waste.
That statistic on the use-cases of most truck owners really just baffles me...if you don't tow or haul anything..THEN WHAT THE FUCK DO YOU NEED A HUGE ASS TRUCK FOR?!?!
but it looks cool 🥺
Because you're American?
People use trucks as status symbols. It's hilarious that they'll spend huge amounts of money on a vehicle that wastes so much gas and which they'll never use for its intended purpose, all because they think it makes them look cool or important.
I guess it's an ego thing. And also the bigger your car the safer you feel though in reality everyone else that share the road risk being in danger more due to the sheer sizes of these vehicles; hell just put a child in front of the truck and compare sizes. You wouldn't even be able to see the child out of the driver seat which is concerning. Also for some reason 80% of road rage and car accident videos I see from the US/NA are of (pickup)truck drivers being the cause of these accidents.
The Stat said trucks are used 7% of the time to tow/haul. That's 25 days/year. No way you're going to borrow or rent something that many times when you can buy a truck.

@@axel_is_gamingif you watched the video he said the windows are not bulletproof they are just stronger than typical windows. And all Tesla cars have a lever inside the car that you can pull to open the door. It’s a safety thing and all of them have it
I found it a bit problematic, that you looked at it more one sighted. The interior is in a very low quality style, the steal gets dirty and rusty very easily and buyers have a lot of restrictions with how to clean it and how often. There are examples, that already show problems with the steal after 11 days. Furthermore i would have liked if you could have showed the dangers of the car (sensors of trunk dont work, means that if fingers are in they are off; the edges at the doors are very sharp; if you run over someone they are most likely dead). Still good video, thanks for the content.❤

@@gro967This is an American KZhead channel. Have you considered just knowing what miles are? I know what kilometers are.
Idk Mk there's a lot of things that you left out of this review or at least could have mentioned that make it feel like you were intentionally going soft of Tesla for one reason or another: 1. The stainless steel panels rust very easily (anything from dead bugs to bird droppings can lead to rusting) and the panels will start to change colour if exposed to water whilst in the sun (something like the second CT at 26:01). 2. To avoid the rusting problem Tesla charges 5k to put a protective coating on the panels which they should have put on it in the first place 3. The panels are not fucking bulletproof 4. Drag racing it is pretty dumb if you are not going to be towing stuff either. One could argue that the people who buy the CT are more likely to tow something than ever be in any form of race with it. 5. For a truck it has a very tiny bay, no bigger than the average Suzuki light truck, this is a very important bit of information considering how that bay size dictates how much you can potentially carry. You didn't at all dwell on this part and only briefly touched on it by saying you and your crew use it to move your equipment but exactly how much equipment was that bro? Surely you caould have taken 2 or 3 minutes to just show how many grocery bags or suitcases can fit in the bay and taken 2 or 3 less minutes glazing the "iconic design" 6. For health and safety reasons it is entirely irresponsible to not accurately communicate how much of a bruising and cutting hazard the sharp steel edges of the doors actually are, I have seen videos of carrots getting sliced and chopped against the edges of the door, they're like fucking katanas 😂. Anyway, I hope in a year or so we can get a more well rounded review from you tackling the issues I've just highlighted, especially number 6 because if anyone who owns a toddler has designs on buying this dumb truck, they should at least know that it comes with the possibility of leaving their toddler devoid of a finger or two.
Thought you were going to say the accelerator pedal at the beginning.
When there are many of these 7000lb moving bulletproof, blinding, razorblades on the road, I don't see how you can possibly say that that isn't the most dangerous thing about the truck. Sports cars that can move that fast can also stop very fast. Stopping 7,000 lbs quickly is just not happening. I've seen the braking tests. So yeah, this is the family guy episode... "Good luck everyone else!"
That quote, insidious af💀
yeah, for sure... the child crusher 4000
The front steel is al so too bad for accidents. There is no crumple zone, which was evolved for car safety. Here it was disregarded for meme design. The people inside will crumple during high impact. Saying good luck to others is weird.

You can tell Marquise isn’t really a car guy. History is littered with iconic, mass-produced cars: Mustang, Beetle, Audi TT, 911, 356 to name just a few

Elon Business Ideas are not original, but Protypes are easy, production is hard.
Every prior system still had a mechanical linkage as a backup. This is the first true steer by wire system
The acceleration and hard, angular exterior is going to be disastrous for accidents. The agility too. If it feels like a sports car to drive, people are going to drive it like a sports car and get into accidents - and if that's with a pedestrian or small car, the cybertruck will just cut right through them. Also doesn't help that the cybertruck owners won't even have to worry about damaging their own vehicle in a crash. Things like this might be cool in movies or as off-road experiments, but as a road legal vehicle this is a horrible idea.

Other examples of automotive mass produced icons are the Volkswagen Beetle and Bus (originals), Morris Mini, 60’s Ford Mustang, Citroen 2CV and DS and Fiat 500 (original). We just haven’t had so many lately because cars have become commoditised, iconic design is risky, and why would large established manufacturers take risks on manufacturing a commoditised product?
Elon has created a true icon here. For better of worse.
@@cbotten106 Agree. In addition all the previously mentioned iconic cars of the past where shit underneath that sheet metal. The CT's tech is out of this world (48V, 4 wheel steering, drive by wire, 120/240 plugs, etc. It'll still be awesome tech with millions of them driving around, vs millions of tired anemic POS pt cruisers...
All the above, plus of course the Ford Model T - the original mass production automobile, designed from the ground up for manufacturing efficiency. For a decade it was essentially the only car on the road, though customization was so common that it gave us the forerunners of both the pickup truck and the station wagon. It's amazing to look at photos of automobile traffic of that era and to see that basically every car was a Model T.
Good point
You forgot what I think is one of the most eye catching and iconic car ever. It was also unpainted stainless steel. The Delorean.
Iconic != unique look. Reminds me more of the Chrysler Prowler or the Saturn Sky when I first saw them. Just an interesting looking vehicle that everyone who saw it assumed it was expensive, but I hadn’t thought about in 20 years.
The original concept looked good, but the real thing is comparatively underwhelming.
Is it a paid promo? The amount of effort Marques put on this video is out of the world. He tried hard not to contradict much with original thoughts on the previous video and still sound to be an ad for the Truck. He didnt mention a single negative without trying to sound it as a positive. (Including the price,boollet proof, performance etc.) He didn't even review the truck apart from hand picking few positives and white washing the negatives he said last time. This video is not in his AF channel but his main channel for much much bigger audience.
Yeah I didn't come here to listen to an objective review I came here to see what sort of mental gymnastics he would perform in order to make this sound like a serious vehicle that some one should actually consider purchasing. Honestly though, anyone who actually buys this truck deserves what they get.
This. I can‘t take his take on cars seriously. This is obviously a paid stunt just like the fisker bashing. This car is an abomination and it’s intent is to be a halo product to boost their marketing.
Yeah let's pay Marques a ton of money to promo the vehicle and make sure he spends a third of it debunking our marketing ad
@@justdrewit2219 it‘s easily the only way to make anything more believable, he also chose part of the features like the toughness that are not essential to the usage as a car and his overall conclusion is still overtly positive.
Probably because Marques is kinda a Tesla/Elon fan boy. Or he is paid big time. I think the right word is shilling

The sequence on the drag race had me like: *MKBHD steps out into what looks like a track* Me: wait he's not about to whip out his 911 to test the Cybertruck ad is he *First frame of his 911 and music starts* Me: NOW WE'RE TALKING HECK YEAH Big smile on my face there lol
The fact this car is legal (and not regulated out of existence) is proof our government has failed us.

Wow, the kneepads
hol up i dont get it. Is that actually his child or a running joke in the community?
@@AzureBlade07it’s like an playful, think about it, how would you react if you had a Porsche?
@@Zzyberr oh wait I thought he was talking about the other younger looking dude driving the CyberTruck in that clip
"I'm getting dump truck vibes from back here" is a sentence I wish I heard more often 😔
She got that 🚚🤩

I watched a KZheadrs video towing with its rated tow it only got 95 miles on a full charge.
The VW Beetle, Nissan Skyline, Mercedes SL are some examples of iconic mass produced cars. So it can happen. But the cybertruck will need many more years till there is consensus it's an icon. But for now it looks an iconic design so far. Great vid!
I don't think I've seen a carmaker get so much positive press and get so many excuses for making such half-baked, unreliable, low-quality cars as Tesla. If any other carmaker (Toyota, GM, Volkswagen, Honda, Ford) made cars that had just one of the many glaring issues as Teslas do, such as their "self-driving" stuff which is a joke, or that they intentionally lied about the battery range on their cars, or had panel gaps wider than Jupiter, those companies would be in the news for weeks or months, and their reputations would (rightly so) take a steep downturn. It amazes me Telsa has been able to get away with this.
most sensible youtube comment i’ve seen in a while
People maybe are treatinv the newbie softer, after all, I can say with certainty that none of the brands u mentioned has existed since less than 4 decades. You are used to them. Doesn't mean that your facts aren't valid, it is an interesting point worth analyzing...
who cares, panel gaps are the least of anyone worries
Your kidding right. Look at the money legacy auto makers are spending on repairing their mistakes. Things like bad trannies and engines.
It's a weird cult to me. A lot like the r/wallstreetbets cult that irrationally bought gamestop stock. Facts and rational thought just don't matter. It doesn't matter how many times Elon Musk lies, the poor build quality, the glorified cruise control "FSD" that kills people, the availability of better EVs, etc. None of it seems to matter. They just blindly follow their cult leader.
This car is peak “fuck-you-me-first”-mentality. All benefits of driving electric being lost, only to stroke your ego, a dangerous tank that destroys everything in an accident just to keep yourself safe. Plus - a waste of parking space in any city. I was a big fan when it came out because of the design choices and the engineering behind it, but I’m grateful it will never really be road legal in Europe.
It is a tank that keeps its owner safe, and is smaller than a regular truck so it fits easier into parking spaces. There is valid criticism but "Oh you don't wanna die if I crash into you?!?!?" Is unhinged, obviously I care more about my safety than yours, as does everybody else, especially with how crazy ppl are these days. And if you actually watched the video you would know it is smaller than other trucks, so not a waste of parking space.
@@Nioclas64 You know crumple zones keep you safe too, right? Everyone protecting everyone leads to a safer environment for all. Prioritizing your own safety over others is not the same as caring about your own safety, as entering a social contract not to harm others disproportionately more than you are benefitted is safer in the long run.
@@Nioclas64 The fault in your logic, is you assume you'll be the one driving the Cybertruck rather than getting your spine crushed by a Cybertruck. Whereas, you and everyone else would actually be safer if we kept these tanks off the road in the first place.
@@drksideofthewal the only way anyone would be safer is if we taught people to be smarter drivers. plenty of car accidents happen everyday due to stupidity from one or both sides of the crash.if anything, this truck proves that more cars should be made ultra durable, and not instantly rendered totalled upon a single small crash, costing you and insurance companies thousands of dollars and months of time.
@@BloodDripss Wouldn't you want stupid people drive small, compact cars rather than these ginormous, unnecessary trucks--especially in a case of a crash? Also, modern cars crumple easily because IT KEEPS YOU SAFE. Why did we have deadlier crashes back then, i wonder? hmmmm
It's like the Pontiac Aztec and the DeLorean had a baby on steroids
Can't believe he went with the Back To The Future Guitar Solo argument to defend this meme on wheels.
I think the big difference between opinion from a biker and a few people in a car is the fact that a biker's first reaction to this design and material choice is, if it touches you, the best case scenario is severe injury, but most probably fatal. And that is a big problem with it, wouldn't be surprised if it got 0 stars on the NCAP pedestrian safety test.
Because everything else on the road is covered in airbags and marshmallows, making colliding with pedestrians a walk in the park. I'm sure dump trucks, garbage trucks, trailers, etc - these are all great fun to run into right? Much better than a cybertruck, right? sigh.
@@OccamKant You don't buy a garbage truck for fun. The garbage truck has to be as it is to do what it was designed to do. Does Cybertruck have to?
@@aro8000 Who said it's just for fun? That's a pretty ignorant and arrogant assumption on your part. What difference would it make anyway? It's a vehicle legally on the road. NO vehicle on the road is going to be a pleasant thing for a pedestrian to hit.
its really doesn't make diference if it is aluminium, concrete, wood or stainless steel.
Like with every other car on the road? Pick up trucks are the best selling vehicles in the USA and they're also the most dangerous for pedestrians. I don't see why it's only an issue now. The Cybertruck is the lightest pick up so in terms of braking, it should actually be the safest. Apparently there could be some issues of visibility though. That it largely an issue for all pick ups.
I know it was only like 5 seconds of the video but the bit with the two cybertrucks at 25:56 was really funny to me. Imagine being the people working there and not only do you have 1 cybertruck pull through, but two.
This is more of an advertisement than an unbiased review.
The most dangerous thing about this truck is the petal getting stuck. AND its NOT A TRUCK!
Towing vs using the bed of the truck is the question. I’ve owned trucks and have never towed but I frequently use the bed of the truck. Dressers, Refrigerators, lawnmowers, etc go into the bed all the time. The question should be how often do you use the bed. Model Ys can tow.
The chart he shows after the 63% stat. shows the "personal hauling" breakdown. I'm guessing using the bed of your truck falls within that category. It shows 32% 'rarely or never,' 41% 'occasionally,' and 28% 'frequently' use their F-150's for "personal hauling."
They should see the new video of the Cyber holding the sheetrock. Its insane
Man at 6:44 I was so expecting Marques to pull out a 9mm 😂
"so I've been carrying this for about two weeks now..."
It's New Jersey! It ain't Texas or Florida! CCW carry and usage scenarios is quite strict in 'Joizy! V
@@StarGateSG7 Half the people I know who live in NJ have guns it's nothing surprising
It’s so weird seeing the city I live in and roads I drive on daily in the background of all your shots. Very cool!
Marques, I love your videos and I’ve grown up watching them! The writing, the music, and the cinematography is amazing. But I can’t help but notice your avoidance to talk about the real safety issues of the Cyber truck, in more detail. To claim that people’s reaction or how they drive around you is the real safety hazard seems a little tone deaf. I also wonder at what point it is large creator’s responsibility to talk about the large civic injustice that occur for our technology to be made? You may have talked about this in other videos but, all I could think of while watching this was the cobalt miners in Congo who work in unsafe conditions, to create cool tech we own and review.
The thing is .. well it isn't really so alright that the majority of SUV or cybertruck owners will never either tow or offroad. Because they might more economically to themselves and to the planet just buy a regular car, make it electric if they want. Bigger and heavier does not often mean better, just nobody told the whole of North America that, in fact they told them quite the reverse, and decades later SUVs are sadly the norm.
You would want to be in a big vehicle than a small one in America. Chances are you’re more likely to survive in a collision than a small car.
I think i may tow from time to time. Did not have the inclination in the last 40 years of driving but times they are a changing.
I know it's not normal for most people but I tow with my Kia Sorento all the time.
Cybertruck is smaller than other trucks. Most people may not tow or offroad, but the huge truck bed is very useful.
@@pt9845 For short range towing or if you not in a hurry it tows (not toes) just fine.
The PT cruiser is not the Cybertruck for sure. The PT cruiser got TONS of attention on a hot rod throw back design, and people loved the idea...and then when produced it had the most anemic drive train, the concept car also looked a bit "meaner" and had fat tires leading people to assume V8 and not a 4 banger. The "Prowler" suffered the same fate. I remember people taking about it, people were saying how crazy it was that it HAD to come with a supercharged V8 etc etc and then the production car was released and it had a 200hp V6....
I actually think the Prowler is a better analogy.
@@2011blueman But the Prowler is still an icon
Regular people didn't care about any of that.
My wife had a pt cruiser when we met and that car sucked so bad hahah
Well, after the SRT-4 came out, the same 2.4L Turbo was made available in the PT Cruiser GT.... But it was too little too late, I guess.
Everyone's excessive hate of this vehicle online is just so odd. It's just a vehicle. I don't know if I like it or not, but I'm not going to judge a vehicle before I even drive it. And as far as truck stuff everyone shopping these knows it's not good for full size gas powered truck stuff, or at least I hope so.
I live here in Mesa AZ and I’ve seen a ton of guys using the cybertruck to tow their boat out to the lake. I think that’s about the only towing use case where the cybertruck excels given it’s about 40-50miles round trip. That and the flex of “using” the cybertruck
'They have to get "clever"' as a sentence is extra interesting, because in Dutch/German the word for clever developed along two lines, in one language it still means clever, in the other it means you were bad (I think in like a deceitful way). Marques using the word clever in a similar negative way shows exactly like the meaning of a word can change.
Similar split between tech hardware (clever = helpful) and software (clever = tricky).
Not even change, but it can have more than one meaning. Take "terrific" for example. Or even more popular, "bad."
I love when you comment on how finger-printy something is. Such a 1st world non-issue to come from years of reviewing cell phones.
got my cybertruck wet and it broke thanks musk
I think from a purely production view point this is a new high bar for a KZhead video. If I saw this from a massive studio on TV I’d be saying it’s a very clean next level review. But it’s on KZhead! Congratulations
lol there isn't a difference, this is made with a very high budget and large production team
Mr. Brownlee as highly regarded as you are I still think that your script writing is underrated! All your commentary is incredibly engaging, measured, and well reasoned without any of the tawdry clickbait or disingenuous disparagement too often seen elsewhere. Thanks!!!
Here, here.
Dude. This guy can make a video about anything. 😢
Thank you for a well reasoned, objective and evidence based review that evokes confidence, joy and awesomeness via a highly quality video production. 😊😊❤❤❤😂
"Millions of people" will end up with this eventually you say? The recall of every single Cybertruck FORCED Tesla to reveal how many they delivered to date: about 3.5k. IN TOTAL. So they just need to increase deliveries by a factor of a thousand to reach that number lmao.
I had the first Rivian in my state (literally) and the amount of people who would speed up, block me in, take pictures/videos while driving a hwy speeds, swerve into my lane, and overall just act dumb around the truck was insane. It's not just the cybertruck, its any unique looking vehicle. This would also happen early in the Model S and X lifecycle when I had those.
I honestly don't understand this trend of simply accepting to buy unfinisched products, calling engineering errors and factory defects as "quirks". These things cost tens of thousends of dollars and people are supposed to be beta testers?
It's actually pretty simple to understand, you're just being thick for some reason.
and incredibly dangerous to be on the road with other people.
Yes. If you wait for the perfect product you will never buy anyhing.
Yeah, the 1st iPhone was perfect! Lol
Unfortunately that is the case for every production line opened. Tesla is just more willing to make errors than your average premium priced car brand. That's probably because the user base of the brand is used to software companies like Microsoft useing us as beta testers of every single product they launched. It would not be far off to think Tesla as a battery powered hardware operated by Tesla software.
MKBHD has really been going all out with the editing and effects lately and I can’t get enough of it
lmao just because hes buddy buddy with Elon, suddenly Cybertruck review gets a "Iconic" tag in the video title
I love how everyone says this guy is a good reviewer until it’s the cyber truck lol
We live in an amazing time: rockets look like they did in 60’s sci-fi, and cars look like the ones I drew in grade school. Old is the new new.
literally, if you consider how the first car designs were quite literally boxes in this same way
We actually live in an awful in between time.
this is the most ignorant comment i have seen so far in 2024
I will name mine Lieutenant Ripley - from Alien 3. Raw, Rough, Dirty, Pure, You get what you see. If that is old i welcome the old.
@@TheKanguru So damn true.
26:35 can confirm PT Cruiser was extremely popular when it came out. Its throwback design got the older crowd excited, and the fuel economy got everyone excited. Gas prices were rising like crazy at the time.
Yes, but the PT was a throwback design, not a new design, so I don't think it's a good comparison. But yes I remember too
yeah Marques is like 2 weeks older than me and I definitely remember the hype around that car so I’m kinda surprised he doesn’t lol
lol same. i’m a year younger than him and i DEF remember the hype around the pt cruiser. ahhh nostalgia
It's not a truck, but I think a better example of an iconic mass produced vehicle is an Airstream. Originally built in the 1930’s, the design has changed very little, they still turn heads, people stop and comment, and I've never heard of anyone disliking them so much, they give them a thumbs down.
I've never known anyone that owns one but the new Airstreams are absolutely gorgeous. They're also like $80-200k nowadays unfortunately.
Wasnt there a crash recently where the cybertruck was fine but the occupant was badly injured while the occupant of the other written-off car was fine?
20:58 'Yaw' is pivoting left and right, not up and down. That's 'pitch'. 'Pitch' is the nose moving up and down (x-axis); 'Roll' is the nose tilting or banking left and right (z-axis); 'Yaw' is the nose pivoting or swiveling left and right (y-axis). (All assuming you're viewing a vehicle from the back end and is facing away from you and you're using a 3-dimensional grid).
another airplane nerd i see
All correct descriptions of pitch, roll, and yaw. But in my experience x is the axis drawn from cg to nose, y from cg to wingtip, and z from the cg down. This follows the Fuselage Station, Butt Line, and Water Line nomenclature. And the rotational moments are considered about an axis, roll about x, pitch about y, and yaw about z.
@@blueechodragon99 Haha I probably wouldn’t say I’m a ‘nerd’ about planes and aviation, but I have a small interest in it, mainly because I have an interest in travel.
@@ZachLovettRaces Yeah. Mostly a joke lol
That cut at 10:05 of you driving between two semis is beautifully matched with the voice over. Thank you for that lovely attention to detail!
My God when he pulled out the Porsche, which I was thinking he was going to do, I said to myself: "This guy is the best youtuber in history"
Dude I love all your videos but the top down drone view of the drag race is one of the coolest things I’ve ever seen. Killer production on this video!
I feel like the rear wheel steering isn't on other trucks because the towing is best on a solid axle. When you put the steering knuckles on the end, you introduce a weak point or potential failure point under load. I do agree most folks don't tow as often or as much as they think when they buy a truck and how it impacts battery mileage is enough to keep it from really being much of an issue with this vehicle.
GM had a SIERRA Denali with four wheel steering back in the early 2000s but it didn’t sell that well.
