The time has come for Mat to review the most unique vehicle in the world - the Tesla Cybertruck!
But is it all style over substance? Or does the Cybertruck stand up as a fully-fledged pick-up that can compete with all-electric competitors like the Rivian R1T & Ford F-150 Lightning?
Well, let’s find out by taking a closer look! When it comes to the exterior design, there’s no denying the Cybertruck is one of the most eye-catching vehicles in the world! Sure some people complain about gaps in the body panels and the straight edges, but there’s no denying it looks like it’s time-travelled back from the future. The stainless steel panels make it super tough, and the full-length light bars at the front and back only help to make it stand out further.
Step inside and the interior is classic Tesla. Bar some buttons on the steering wheel everything is controlled through the huge infotainment screen on the dash. This can be annoying at times, but there’s no denying this screen is super slick and very responsive. Otherwise, the build quality is pretty solid, with soft-touch materials throughout most of the cabin. There’s even a small infotainment screen in the back, too!
When it comes to performance, there are three editions of the Cybertruck you can buy. A single motor, dual motor, and tai-motor ‘Cyberbeast’ edition! The latter edition can produce 845hp and 930Nm of torque, and all this costs just $96,000! But of course, this edition is also super heavy, tipping the scales at 3,084kg!
So what do you think - have you learnt to love the looks? Or is it just too much? Let us know in the comments!

Not having to worry about keeping the paint job pristine is surprisingly attractive quality.
It's all fun in games until you go into a car wash and scratch the crap out of the steel 😅
@@recon1673 you can brush off the scratches with an abrasive sponge
Fingerprint magnet
Yeah, but people will be kicking it every time you park it anywhere to see if they can dent it!
@@recon1673 TBF scratches on a painted mild steel car are only worrisome because they eventually lead to clearcoat failure and rust. When the material is fully exposed to start with you can proudly display those scratches like battle scars as they won't affect the future integrity of the bodywork.
I love how MKHBD said he wouldnt jump on the cover, but Mat put all his life's work into them jumpss
he literally did
@@TK-mh8dn ?
@@TK-mh8dn MK did not jump like that on the cover
Legs and arms very animated while his torso remains in place, 'suspending' his weight rather than actually throwing it up/down, pretty clever even if done subconsciously. Still fun to see him tap around up there heh
@@qualat9340 thats some serious pedancy about jumping. kudos... or not.. lol
Saab did a drive by wire decades ago and used a joystick. But they also made fighter jets with a similar set up.
Tesla isn't aviation company like Saab, Honda, Mitsubishi and Rolls Royce
@@RIZFERD Still, saying "it's the only car" is just factually incorrect.
Couple questions. 1. How is the sound system 2. Are there auxiliary switches 3. Option for step up or amp steps? 4. Center caps option if removing wheel covers? How many adjustments are on the driver seat? Did to bolster adjust Great review!
TESLA TURD 💩💩💩💩💩💩💩💩
Can only question number 1 throttle house said the sound system is very good
I thought you meant you wanted him to answer relationship questions😂😂 I’m going to bed soon I promise😴😴
MKBHD: "I'm just going to stand on the tonneau cover and not jump, because it might not hold it". Matt: * jumps on it like it's a trampoline * Love the difference 😂
Thats just my thought!! 🤣🤣
That’s exactly what went through my mind
My intrusive thoughts were like... "That's white freedom/privilege" black people are afraid of breaking shit
MKBHD is like a foot taller than Matt... Different weight class there...
Awesome review, and yes, we saw the concessions at the beginning: (the "wiper!, panel creases, gaps, fit, leg room are benefits!"... not). We know, in order to get access, to even drag race the thing :), you gotta give some....
"Hey guys it's made out of stainless steel, let's kick it!" The reason I love this channel 🤣🤣🤣
Gabriel Iglesias (Fluffy) Crocodile Hunter….. listen or watch it. Come back to your comment. Haha
But... is it key scratch resistant? I would think so with the type of alloy they are using, but we need a test. Cause we know all those ballers that buy this had issues with their supercars keyed for some reason...
@@stephenfurr8769 I love Fluffy! Was gonna see him in concert before the pandemic hit! Def aware of the joke, good call 🤣🤣🤣

So if I break into the Cybertruck and I break the screen, this vehicle becomes a undrivable banana.
It drives just fine without a screen and until you replace it you can use the app or voice commands.
The DMC DeLorean was also made of stainless steel and compared to this 'bucket' it was a real beauty :)
I mean tbh as someone that bought a car new and use it for 10-15 year. Not needing to baby the paint job and afraid of major dents is very appealing.
No fading or hail damage.
While that is a great quality to have, you would still have to live with the CT for 10-15 years.
You think the battery will last 10-15 years? 😬
@@AlaskanMach1 my Tesla sedan batteries are 7.5 years old. Still going strong… ✊🏽 on wood. And these are just laptop cells, not the superior 4680 cells in the truck.
Yes and If you damage it it doesnt matter anyway! its so atrocious from the factory, that dents can only make it look better
I can’t get enough of people kicking the sh*t out of a vehicle and doing basically no damage.
not basically, litterally none. its funnyXD. i,d like to see this as a cop car
It would get annoying if you bought one and strangers kept trying to test the damage resistance. You come back to where you parked it to find a crowd of people hitting it with hammers, driving trolleys into it etc...
Yeah but cars today have thin panels because of pedestrians. This car will never be legal in the EU.
@@DataLoghard to say, rumours are that there is possibility. And you wrong about pedestrian safety as a reason. It's about crumple zones. Frame is hard to design, and frame is shared between multiple models, and often generations. Panels have to be weak to not influence crumple zones. And OFC it's also about price
@@The1QwertySky I agree, it's dream car for cops: durable, not damage from idling and slow driving like gas cars (large engines don't like as much slow cruising), so can be not so often changed. Only requirement are fast chargers at police stations, fully charged during shift change. Range is sufficient, and even dual motor is powerfull enough. Not sure about bed,
As nice looking as a kitchen sink
I think my kitchen sink looks nicer😂😂.
Still better looking than your mum tho 🤷🏼♂️
@@sewlouisaProbably does
Bs
If ur sink looks like that you should go to a doctor lol
This is A very wacky truck . Good Luck getting one to the UK Matt. I can't wait to see the beast 👍👍💯💯
Tacky. And he can't have one.
Huge shoutout to Sam the racing driver for being part of the Cybertruck experience with Mat (even lending Mat money to make an car order). I really hope we see more reviews with him, Yanni, even Mark in the near future. It just takes the entertainment to another level.
Yeah where's Yanni
We want Yanni back😂
U mean "Racing Driver Sam"
Yanni was sick I believe. He only recently started back doing vids on his channel
@@Press-pb77 Yanni had back surgery.
To be honest, the Cybertruck is kind of underrated and overrated at the same time. But it is pretty refreshing to see Mat's videos on it!
I wonder if the load carrying figures quoted include the 200kg in the frunk?
Tesla cars are so polarizing, at this point, I can really only listen to people that have equal number of criticisms as they do praise.
@@typeterson8376as a Tesla owner, the cars are great value for money, practical, and great family cars, but yes the build quality is very poor for the price, at least it is in my 2017 Model X. The service experience is also not ideal, long waiting lists to get an appointment.
Most idiotic statement ever. Makes no sense you just think it sounds clever but it does only in a clown world…which is what this is so you may get other clowns that agree with you.
@@typeterson8376 yep. A reviewer that is willing to lose subs because they were telling the truth, is a reviewer worth giving a sub.
One thing I always look for in cars is kickability, thanks for testing!
The old cars up to 1976 used to be made of steel (like Tesla Cybertruck) , they lasts better - but the people inside don’t. When a car takes an impact - the speed has to drop from (say) 40mph to ZERO within the distance by which it crumples. So if you have a big old chunky piece of iron - the front bumper might bend by a tenth of an inch and aside from some scuff marks on that shiney chrome - will basically be completely unscathed. A modern car will probably crush a foot or more - the engine may get pushed down under the driver’s feet into the ground. It will be a total wreck. However, if the modern car crushes 12 inches instead of a tenth of an inch…120 times more than the old car…then the deceleration rate will be 120 times less - and the force of the impact will also be 120 times less (Because ‘F=ma’ - force equals mass times acceleration). So in a steel car - you die a horrible death as your internal organs smack into your rib cage and your brain hits the front of your skull. The car is more or less OK - so the new owner wipes off the worst of the blood splatter and is impressed at how the car survived the impact. In today new car ( besides Tesla Cybertruck) - you climb out of the twisted wreck with some bruises and a sprained ankle - and spend the next month bitching about how modern cars can’t survive accidents as well. Today’s cars are engineered to absorb energy in a crash; instead of going from 40-0 in an instant, the car’s front end collapses slowing the car down a little at a time while the passenger compartment is designed to divert energy around the passengers to the rear, engines break downwards instead of into the front occupant’s lap, it’s steering column buckles instead of transferring energy into the driver’s chest. It can mean walking away from a car accident verses a long hospital stay, or a long hospital stay verses a quick trip to the morgue. Vehicles with today’s modern safety tech is designed to sacrifice itself to prevent human suffering. Todays cars even have provisions to protect pedestrians that are hit by a car, there’s a certain amount of space required between the hood and any engine parts. Europe now has a standard regarding pieces extruding past body panels because it could rip a pedestrian’s legs off.
The only car you can kick without worries Mat😂😂
good one. I could crease every panel up on that as quick as any other car with work steelies on.
@@bigduphusaj162not sure if you could crease it even with steel caps as that is 3mm thick cold rolled 30x stainless steel, not the 1mm thin aluminium of other trucks.
Wouldnt matter if its ugly inside and out. Looking at unpleasant things is not easy.
shush boy.@@fynkozari9271
@@bigduphusaj162 have you watched Hagerty's video on the Cybertruck? He took a sledgehammer to it.
I like it a lot more after this video and seeing all the options It's very practical, no more dents, no rust, no scratch, power for your tools and house, lots of space. I hope they have a camping tent for it
They do. It’s kind of pricey, though.
The whole suspension set up is still gonna rust tho
Get into a fender bender and it’s RIP though
@@andreasyahoomail7956Doubt it. Lots of aluminium alloy all over.
@@thefish5861yeah $3,000 USD lol. I think third parties will make the same tent for cheaper.
10/10 unreal. But Matt, how can you drive this in the UK? You said it's not going to be legal to drive here, didn't you? Yet you ordered one? Looks great though
When one has more money than sense...
That's pretty cool that a kick or shopping cart won't damage it but a 4,000 lb. vehicle hitting it sure will. And then the truck is totaled because you can't repair a dent in stainless. I guess we will see some wrapped or painted like with DeLorean's where they got a ding or scratch. Replacing those stainless panels if possible has to be ludacrious expensive.
Best opening lol. 4 guys kicking the car. A few good kicks in there too lol.
Yeah they weren't holding back 😂
I have been binge watching guys kicking cybertrucks for the past few days 😂 the random 2 dudes popping out was hilarious 🤣
Ok
@@Omar-jn9zfit's always an omar 😂
Why do people always ask about 0-60. What I want to know is the range and how long do the batteries last. Also what happens to the vehicle when you want to sell it on.
because short 0 to 60 is both fun and occasionally useful when entering the highway.
Because a car can be slow as fuck and still have bad range and the car isn’t out yet so we wouldn’t know how long the battery lasts and Tesla would never give an accurate quote for these kind of things
Great content! Love the presentation, dude is funn!
I like the way u allow yourself to have fun and be your true self while you work, i enjoy every bit of sarcasm and humour in all your videos. please dont hold back and keep up the good work.
TESLA TURD 💩💩💩💩💩💩💩💩
You have done more in this video then anybody with the cyber truck they trust you more than their own employees 🤣 Thanks for bringing us this great content.👏🏽👏🏽😎
I can't agree less😂😂😂
Look up Sandy munro talking to the engineers if you really want to know about it
Good luck getting it registered in the UK!
Very few will be registering it because: 1. It's really ugly (inside and outside) 2. Poor build quality 3. Almost no offroad capability... couldn't even clear a pavement without getting stuck🤣 4. Resale value on electric vehicles is horrendous, if you find someone who wants to buy it at all.
@@BillClinton228 I think its more to do with the pedestrian friendly front end!!
Great video, entertaining and informative as ever. Was the mini-bus the camera car or a tesla minder?
I like the cybertruck, but the thing I don't like the most is that I have to use the touchscreen for everything.
You'll get used to it within days and not want to go back. Most people wanted physical keyboards on their phones when the iPhone came out, now imagine going back to a blackberry type phone... Also, I think a lot of people's hesitancy comes from the terrible software other cars have. With Tesla it just works.
Yeah from an actual work perspective I’m sure dudes are going to get in the car with dirty gloves on, then imagine having to take them off just to open your trunk
I would still prefer blackberry for messaging. But the touch control improved a lot. But when voice command get improved, a lot will be resolved quickly. Open frunk, close cover, lower mirror to parking position, adjust temperature, disable DRL,
Yeah, that is not something you want in a work truck. Plus single point of failure - imagine smashing this delicate screen - and your whole truck is now towable. Not to mention 1000s in expenses to replace this. Not to mention it protrudes like it does.
Same. If I want to adjust my mirrors in traffic or at a traffic signal, I have to do so much!
as a cart pusher at a walmart if I saw mat doing this that woulda made my year
LOL we have a professional cart pusher
@@alexandru256 being 16 doesn’t leave a lot of job options
@@cohent9983 I was a cart attendant at Target when I was your age. Nothing wrong with that! Alex probably has a small one so he has to write stuff like that. If you saw a photo of him at his job you would probably think "Who cares what that person has to say?! ha ha"
@@Iffy50Same. I always have respect for anyone making an honest living.
@@alexandru256Alex, that car in your profile picture doesn’t entitle you to belittle another person’s income
Thanks for the video. Why don't they have a version that has less HP but much longer range? Would be much more practical. On our NA roads hypersportscar acceleration is not the most practical, but large range is.
Hold on, how is the steering not being connected to the wheels a good thing? If the battery is dead there’s no steering the thing. Any issues with the power or the servos and you’re a passenger.
Every other reviewer: "this bed cover should be able to hold 200 pounds so I can do this" **proceeds to climb up and stand carefully on top** Mat: "SO YOU CAN DO THIS!" **BANG, BANG, BANG**
You can jump on lots of aluminum tonneau covers.
The weight limit is 300+ pounds
To be fair to those other reviewers, I also would likely not have the courage to jump on it, seeing as I would not want to be liable for damages.
@@ProXcaliber It seems the other reviewers were allowed to hit and shoot their vehicles... Haggerty did not shoot it on the racetrack because of insurance problems - no wonder :-D
@@pierre.a.larsen I mean, there's a difference between having permission with likely signed wavers or deals made, and then there's only being handed the car for a review.
I love the kicking. Highly therapeutic!
so how accurate is the front camera for parking accuracy...
Wow! You save 500g of wires, but add about 1000kg of weight with 3mm stainless steel plates. Genius!
wires are more expensive
The added toughness is a nice quality bullet proof
I think this channel is becoming the new Top Gear show from the past. They're the only guys doing crazy things with this new Cybertruck and I feel like watching the old naughty and silly Top Gear. It's actually Fun, plus a comprehensive Car review. Always entertaining! :)
Not much companies can give you a new car and say "do what you want"😁. Also, in top gear cars mostly loose.

Incredible vehicle and great review, Matt. Just thinking though, on a sunny summer day in a warm location, how hot will it get under all that glass with all the sunrays pouring in? You'll also need to lather up in the SPF 50.
Honestly impressed thought it was going to be trash but it looks more practical than it looks from first impression. I would definitely be interested to see how you get on getting it imported and what license that will fall under thinking class C. 🤔
Your Carwow reviews are so much more reliable as you all review anything that has wheels! Keep it up!
When it on sale, the Cybertruck on Japanese countries maybe cost around $605.000.
@@purwantiallan5089 whered you get that from?
His high voltage comment about needing less wires was false. The 48v low voltage system is the reason for the need of less wires. So called pro.
I think F90 M5 and same generation E63s had quarter mile time of 11.1 -11.2 seconds. It's unreal that this pick up truck is capable of that being on those kind of tires.
That’s quicker than my 600cc motorcycle which was 13 seconds.
Yeah... and my boat can fly, my motorcycle tows my camper and my snowmobile is a jet ski. How about buying a truck for it's utilitarian purposes rather than it's gee-gaw impact on other non-trucking imbeciles?

not having to worry about the paint job or minor dings or scraps is super appealing. not to mention knowing that it can survive 9mm gunfire and will probably destroy anyone who crashes into u.

i’m curious if you can weld designs on it!😭
Thought you were going to say you can't wait for Tesla to finish it.
I remember seeing the reveal couple years ago. I cant believe they put this car into series. I wouldn't want to get caught with that thing.
Love the floppy windscreen wiper😂
Thats pretty normal....those have been around for a long time
You’re totally right on the HUD, if Tesla wanted, they could have invented a next gen heads up display that truly made this truck like Bladerunner. Shame.
I was very sceptic about the lack of a speedometer behind the steering wheel when I bought my Model 3 a year ago, but after a few days I was already accustomed to having the speedometer to the right of the steering wheel. Having to look to the right instead of down feels a bit odd at first, but it's just a different "muscle memory" with the exact same result when you're used to it. It's also not as if Tesla is reinventing the wheel here; there have been a bunch of cars that had their speedometer in the center of the dash like the Toyota Prius and some cars from Fiat.
Aftermarket gurus are on it, a calculated move probably
Next gen
@@wtfdingesaftermarket I went for that trust me it's soooo much better with a screen in front of you simple stuff like speed, cruise control, tire pressure, speed limit detection an few other things
This already exists and its called Mercedes Mbux. Full augmented headup with video game style arrows pointing to turns and exitd
You want a good sum up of my general issue with Tesla products just watch at 6:00. Can't find the spot buried in a touch screen menu so we have to go to voice activation to OPEN THE GLOVE BOX. Then the voice activation doesn't work to close it, but you shouldn't be doing anything other than yanking a handle in the forst place. Bolting a computer to something doesn't automatically make it better.
It’s evident that there were a few South African farmers involved in the design of this beaut!! Jumping on the electric tonneau cover, you kidding me!! Sick!!! This bakkie (read, truck) is too lekker (read awesomeness) my bru (read bro)
This is my favourite car channel and broadcaster
Because it’s steer by wire, they could basically offer right hand drive kits that dealers can fit! That would be neat
It would need to be EU registrable

It would be fine to drive. Don’t worry Tesla will tick all of the regulatory boxes, you will have yours soon.
@@BrisbaneTeslaGuy they have said they have no intentions to sell it outside of North America. It’s never passing EU safety regs LOL.

Am I correct in thinking that is only the second production vehicle to have a stainless steel body...? The only other I can think of was the ill-fated and woefully flawed "DeLorean ".. Hope this amazingly distinctive venture from Tesla, has a better future..!
All jokes aside this car in camo would look quite the beast. Also the flat panels help a lot to style up the car with some insane arts like grafitty.
That would actually be pretty neat looking seeing one of these with cool graffiti artwork on it.
Mat miserably tried to Streetfighter tf out of the car 😂
Blanka shall do.
I drive a model Y. I was turned off by the design when it was first revealed but it's really grown on me since. I ended up placing an order for a dual motor AWD version.

Actual prices for the RWD version is $60,990, AWD version is $79,990 and CyberBeast is $99,990. They keep listing the potential savings prices with US Federal rebate and/or 3 year estimated gas savings.
still worth it, just because the celebrety feeling you willl have when you drive one. you could allready see in the video the guys filming it immediatly and everyone else staring at it
@@The1QwertySky It would also create problems for the Owner....Others will try to kick it, key it, or throw something at it too...I hope it wont be too much problems in the future....
@@feklar3470 except the rebate would have been expected on the original price too
@feklar3470 You have to consider that you don't get that until you file your taxes. With the Cyberbeast, you get no tax credit so stating it costs $96k is 100% wrong. You're still paying $100k with no benefit other than not needing gas or other ICE related services. But then, that's only a very small amount that does add up but over a long time.
@joshualewis393 and dont be surprised in late 2025 when some CTs are finally for sale and $61k becomes $69,999
6:40 the headrest protruding is how it's supposed to be, but people set them up wrong. It protects your neck in the event of a rear end collision. If you look at the video, you can see the headrest lines up with the head perfectly to support it so the neck doesn't bend/whiplash
Yep, it’s also why most people have a huge space between their head and the headrest. Car seats were design poorly back in the days and the proper ones look/feel weird now :)
But it can't adjust to different heights so it sure it fits him but anyone taller or shorter is going to have a bad time.

In the UK you'll need a truck license to drive it. It's not covered by the standard car driving license. Probably just one of the reasons we'll see very few in Europe.

I'm a Tesla Lover, so loved Cyber Truck, but what I loved most in this video is your Shorts, Grey color and Quality feels out class
Looks like what 80s films thought the future would look like
It looks like from Mad Max or Blade Runner.

Not that surprising if you look a little bit further than sensationalist headlines ;)
@@jooptablet1727 Not the headliners, it was announced back in when, 2019? It was meant to be the first electric pickup, but Rivian, GM and even Ford brought up stuff before them, now it's a saturated market and an everyday occurrence. Same with the new Roadster, Tesla was sleeping.
@@sandorbence2067 yes, they were developing a stainless steel, 48v, steer by wire, ultra fast truck for mass production in their sleep.
@sandorbence2067 It was supposed to be released in Nov 2021. Its 2 years late. Which is decent considering the factory construction was delayed by Covid. Also, there really are only 2 other EV trucks on the market in the Rivian and F150 Lightning. Thr Hummer sells a couple hundred a quarter and is irrelevant. The Ram and GMC are not out yet. The Rivian and Lightning are still relitively low volumes. So timing is not too bad.
@@AndyGKaufman Why would that make me happy? I don't care much about the car (especially since it won't come here to Europe) but I really appreciate the design, more cars should look like this. Other than the that it's just a Tesla with the usual strengths/shortcomings. It will be popular.
It’s like a total recall car , as I woz from wasull in the Black Country , I appreciate yo journey no matta Wot carWOW 😁✌🏻❤️ saddlers 💯
Is it a toss-up between 1 Merc X class pickup truck and 1 VW Amarok pickup truck or, 1 Cyber truck? What do you think?
Mate still remember when u had just a bit less than 1million subscribers. Amazing job Mat👌🏼🙏🏽
I remember when they were a bit over 100k! They deserve their success 💪🎉
9 minutes in and it is already the best review of the Cybertruck - James you do it again! Brilliant!
I actually saw one of these things in the metal while driving down I94 in Fargo, ND a few days ago. Easy to say I was shocked that I would see one so soon after launch, given how long it took to see any of the other models. It's also easy to say these things are WAY more ugly in person than on video, if you didn't like the look to begin with. The first thing that came to mind was that someone took a rubber door stopper wedge and painted it silver, then ran it down the road backwards.
I can get used to the looks because I like futuristic. Some will never like it and for good reason. However I can think of dozens of reasons why this vehicle will lead to massive endless lawsuits. Lawyers will love it... insurance companies not so much lol.
@@whichgodofthousandsmeansno5306 Being made of a proprietary metal and being difficult to fix will make it a pain to get it fixed when it's been in a serious accident, I'll give you, but the lack of paint and resilience against denting will work in it's favor. I was just shocked at how deceptive video is at showing just how forward heavy the peaked design actually is in real life.
They set out to design something that didn't look like a traditional truck, a design that hasn't changed in decades. Sounds like you're not ready for it 🤣
@@MrQwerty3000 I'm more than ready for change. I'm just not ready for cyber-doorstop.
and the back of it is just hideous
I want one so badly… just with a V8 lol I think it’s the most beautiful looking truck ever made. I honestly can’t do electric as my apartment complex is not made for it, and I’m not waiting in line for 2hrs every time I need to use a Tesla charging station. I’ve got a feeling in 10 years we will have lots of scraped out cypertrucks due to battery damage and people will take the body’s and put them on truck frames. 😅 than I can have my V8 truck
Go to your local Chevy or Ford dealer and see what a mid range new pickup is....125k. 95k for fleet trucks. Insane. That being said, there are some nice aftermarket HUDs for Tesla vehicles and would be the first thing I got for it. And ppl who are talking about the pre production build quality I hope hold McLaren to the same standards...Hand made cars are different.
Gaps doesn't matter in a truck as long they are equal from up and down
Mat you're the best car presenter from all that i know! You are the most realistic when doing these tests. You aren't shy about it or hide behind some shitty like corporate things :)). You do what any human would do but won't really admit it probably :))) So that is what i super like at your videos, the reality check that you're making every time! It's fucking precious! Keep it up man! Great job! Congrats!🎉🎉
The problem is that Tesla built its lineup on debt, credit and investments. As a result, they're not actually that nice to drive. They're just an ideology. I think other manufacturers build better electric trucks. But many of them also needed credit and debt. Except for Ford. I've never tried the f150 lightening, but there is something to be said for pure market success.
Why isn’t the mirror a camera feed as it is on other cars when the back is down and instead the camera is a little square in the screen?
Don’t worry Matt mate about the mud. No one will be off roading on this.
No, I think Matt and Carwow are rather biased and prone for bribery as long as manufacturers are willing to pay for a positive review.
Lol the cope is real with you. All of their vehicles have broken the safety test records. Their tech and batteries are so damn far ahead of any other manufacturers, and they give it to you at a fraction of the cost! They have also been sharing a lot of their tech and discoveries with other electric car manufacturers for free, so that more EVs can get on the road to help the planet.
In my Country there is already motion in works to ban this truck from our roads (before they even get here or be able to be sold here) by making it not passible to get homologation due to it being deemed unsafe to drive on our roads and extremally dangerous for others and pedestrians in case of accidents.
Yeah, it will never be legal to be sold here in EU too. Just way to dangarous for everyone
what is this watch you are wearing Mat? Looks great!
Next time you do some other truck review, do the same attacks as you did on this one. Keep it as default test for each truck if you dare. 😁
Hey Matt, the frame is made from castings so it’s molten aluminum that gets squirted into a big press. It’s not ingots that are squished.
Yep, given he’s from Birmingham, you might expect he’d understand engineering 😂
And where does the molten aluminum come from😅
DOOF
Some of the parts are stamped as well.
Aye the bodywork is 300 series stainless steel, it's nothing new and space age like Electric Jesus would have you believe. Of course you can form it by bending. The marketing bullshit from Tesla is off the charts. But if you want a fast pickup that looks like a kid drew it then this is gold.
Great review esp cargo info.
I'm a fan of it, I just wish that there were a few more physical buttons and simpler mechanisms. I would worry about motors/servos going out.
I’m so conflicted, I love ICE vehicles but this is so proper, and the range is acceptable too. We will see how available they are in a year or two but I would much love to own one.
It’s so weird to hear someone say the love ice vehicles these days.
@@tigertoo01they look better and sound better than any EV cars. Ev cars are attractive to vegans and people who do hot yoga.
@@tigertoo01 how is it weird? Internal combustion engines are works of art. I love my 4 bangers!
@@tigertoo01 I have a Model 3 and a Lightning and prefer to drive my Golf R on weekends. EV's are great commuters, other than that meh
@@baibureh8816Buddy you make it sound like all EV's are Dacia Springs and Nissan Leafs. Get with the times dumbass, there's shit like the Rimac Nevera, Porsche Taycan Sport Turismo and this Cybertruck. Not that you could ever afford a proper EV. 😂
Take it for a 1000 mile travel and give us a review of the experience
Would be similar to a model Y. Payload wouldn't affect range much, but towing large trailers definitely will.
@@jooptablet1727cut the range by 50% towing 😂
@@dvrchweesse1frfdozemkaanai594 If you tow a cube.
@@jooptablet1727 i doubt
Very heavily would depend on the speed that you drive it. It's a truck, so air resistance is much worse than Model 3 or S. So speed will affect range a lot more.
Are they making a right hand drive version? No intention of buying one, I’m just intrigued to see if it passes eu pedestrian crash tests etc
I doubt it. I don't think you could make this design pass ped safety standards.
How long is the wait for 1 when ordered?
If they have a mirror for the rear, why not make it a view screen like they do in some EV's? This would be an excellent way to have a rear view mirror and still make it viable with the cover closed. 4:17 it has a pre-production mirror for those who missed it.
Because it's displayed on the giant screen?
There is no rearview mirror.
@@themonsterunderyourbed9408 Oh yeah, this is pre-production 4:17, it has a mirror, just saying it could have been made a dual mirror turned into a view screen.
@@howardj602 ... I wonder what all those other trucks that don't have rear view mirrors do? Like the ones that tow campers and trailers.
I LOL when the lads came out to join Matt in rage kicking the truck 😂
Best review of the cyberTruck to date 😊
You could always add two 3'' exhaust tips at the rear, And just have lights in there or flame thrower lol
That central touch screen is insane, way more responsive than others. Don't know why luxury car brands don't put such tech in their cars
Tech gets outdated reallu fast
yea but the tech in luxury cars is alredy outdated as soon as it comes in the cars. look at ferraris infotainment its extremely slow. im paying that much for a car at least have a good infotainment@@syedkahar4679
You basically have to choose between great tech that lasts a shorter period of time, or average tech that lasts a long time
@@cristicristi6500 Not really true with processors. Plus, Tesla is a software company... they know how to develop responsive software. I think that is really the main reason.
They can't because it's not the screen it's the software...
Whoops, 48 volt low-voltage architecture for thinner wires (at 17min). 800v is the high-voltage architecture. It is a BUY from me but I need a RHD version, which hopefully should be easier with the steer-by-wire technology. Great review!
0:28 casual GTA online experience looking clip😂
So, if I want to change the rear view mirror settings while driving, I have to go to touchscreen and press all buttons while keeping eyes on the road!!! Now, some ppl will say why u change settings while driving, but sometimes u gotta do it.
I'm always stunned by the quality and content you bring out so often. thanks Mat !
Another correction: The comment you made about thinner wires for less weight applies more to the new "low-voltage" 48V system (replacing 12V system), not the 800V high-voltage system used by the drivetrain, which is 2x as much as the previous. Of course both changes help, but the low-voltage system uses literally miles of wire, so the 4x voltage increase makes a bigger difference.
lol there was zero chance this would slip by without a comment!
Thanks @@seprussell4836
@@seprussell4836 Also he talked about weight savings on a truck that weighs 2.27 planets. Thinner wires are going to make a fraction of a percent difference.
@@heimlichvonbladderburst8348 It weighs less than Rivan.....by a lot....So, they did something to make it weigh less.....
The 48V system was so important of a step, Elon sent the "how to" guide to every other auto manufacturer's CEO. BMW has wanted a 48V for over two decades now but could never pull it off.
You didn't explore the sleep on the floor thing with a custom pad that would be awesome, what's the measurement across the floor?
Love it!!! Damn EU, I have a ticket by the table, but can't use it!
