00:00all right there's been a lot of weird
00:01cars to come out in the past couple
00:03weeks months years decades uh but this
00:07one might be the weirdest one of them
00:10all and I don't think it's particularly
00:12close this this thing here this has come
00:15out for 2024 and it's called the Tesla
00:17cyber truck I've been driving it living
00:19with it for almost 1,000 miles for a
00:21couple of weeks now so you don't have to
00:23God it's I will say this vehicle is
00:25characterized by these really big highs
00:29and lows really big sweeping exciting
00:32really interesting things about it and
00:34then Lowe's on the other side that are
00:35like really disappointing about it that
00:37you only really fine by actually living
00:39with it which I have been so that's what
00:41this video is I'm just going to detail
00:42everything break it down try not to get
00:45hurt by them they tend to interrupt
00:48these videos but that's okay this is the
00:50cybertruck now there's really it feels
00:51like there's only one place to start
00:52with the truck which is how it looks
00:55right this thing I have a lot more to
00:57say about it and maybe a main Channel
00:59full review but I think it's kind of
01:01iconic meaning you either love this or
01:04you hate it and in person it looks even
01:06more cyberpunk like low poly render than
01:11maybe anything on video quite shows and
01:13I'll dig more into the the materials and
01:15the build quality and panel gaps in just
01:17a second but there's something you
01:18should know about living with the
01:19cybertruck which is that the truck
01:23itself is a bit of a celebrity at least
01:26at this moment especially if you're in a
01:28place where there aren't really any
01:29others yet you cannot drive this without
01:32getting attention at all it's the most
01:35attention getting vehicle by a long long
01:38way that I've ever gotten you drive this
01:40thing people walking past turn around
01:44they people driving by literally
01:47accelerate to try to get a better video
01:48out their side window of you driving by
01:51it's actually kind of dangerous like the
01:54way that people behave on the road when
01:55they see a cyber truck and want to go
01:57get a video of it is crazy that's all by
02:00itself this truck also has Sentry mode
02:02you probably already know about Teslas
02:04where you walk up to the truck and it
02:05knows and it turns on the recording from
02:06the cameras this truck has hundreds of
02:10video clips of people walking up to it
02:11and looking inside and just generally
02:14interrupting it and draining the battery
02:16during the day it's that popular so I
02:19feel like it's polarizing enough that
02:20people either love it or hate it in real
02:23life I kind of like it it's really hard
02:25to explain why I think it looks sick in
02:30don't get me started the roads New
02:34suck they're flying away it's okay um
02:38but generally yeah this is a uh it's a
02:40very unique looking truck but the thing
02:42about these looks is I think it actually
02:44distracts people from a lot of really
02:46interesting technical Innovation that
02:47goes on under the hood I mean everyone
02:49wants to talk about the looks
02:51understandably but the 800 volt
02:53architecture this crazy suspension with
02:55a ton of travel like there's more
02:57happening with this truck that I'll get
02:59into in a second but let's just start
03:01with the basics what is it right there's
03:03basically two cyber Tru specs you can
03:06get right now two different versions the
03:08dual motor or the triple motor the
03:11cyberbeast so this is a foundation
03:13Edition cyber truck Foundation series
03:15which means it's one of the first ones
03:17it's a low VIN number but this is the
03:18dual motor version the triple motor
03:20version is basically the exact same
03:22truck but faster because it has an extra
03:25motor in the back and it has alcantar in
03:27the dash that's basically the only
03:30but let's get into the technical stuff
03:32first of all they ship to owners without
03:36that Hub Cap remember the arrow cap that
03:38we see in all those early cyber trucks
03:39especially when they showa that promo
03:41material that's not on this truck so you
03:43do have just the Open Wheel when you get
03:45your cyber truck they're redesigning the
03:47AOW cover that you'll eventually
03:49allegedly get uh which
03:52means this you see the Open Wheel you
03:54see the brakes but you also just have
03:56like no hub caps and no nut covers and
03:59that's the only place I've seen rust on
04:01this truck a little bit worrying but
04:04that's the way it is right now you can
04:05get third party covers if you want but
04:08that's the place I see rust on this
04:09truck and then the thing about a low Vin
04:13Tesla is you will be dealing with low
04:16Vin production quality stuff only reason
04:19I say that is because I'm the guy who
04:21doesn't really care about panel gaps too
04:23much and I still really don't pay too
04:25much attention to it but this panel Gap
04:29is actually worth mentioning it's the
04:31worst I've ever seen in a production
04:33vehicle I'll just show it to you this is
04:36the driver's side door there's no door
04:38handles as you can tell the way to get
04:39into the truck is that little handle and
04:42it pushes it out and then you pull the
04:44truck out the rest of the way that's why
04:46there's fingerprints all over this truck
04:49but I don't know I think there's going
04:51to be something wrong with this store
04:52cuz it literally looks like it's open
04:55like that that's pretty bad I've never
04:57seen a gap quite that bad that's the way
04:59it should look that's the way it looks
05:02it's probably one of those things where
05:03I'll have to bring it into Tesla they'll
05:05tighten some things up and it'll look
05:06fine but that's the stuff you will
05:08probably have to deal with if you get a
05:10low Vin cyber truck but then of course
05:11you know you're looking at the materials
05:12you're looking at these angles all the
05:14sharpness up here we've covered that
05:16I've talked about this before this is
05:18not a surprise but you have this big LED
05:21light bar on the front which is pretty
05:23iconic when it pulls up behind you and
05:25then all of the actual headlights are
05:28down here and so that's where all the
05:30actual bright light comes from you also
05:32got your front-facing camera on a Tesla
05:33for the first time with a washer sick
05:37and then this huge sloping windshield
05:39some might even call it the largest
05:41sloping windshield on any vehicle ever
05:43which brings us to the windshield wiper
05:45this is the largest windshield wiper on
05:47any production car and you've seen
05:48people do this before but it's just
05:52massive it's just big blade it's pretty
05:56replace but it seems to work fine the
05:59one weird thing about it is it doesn't
06:02actually go all the way down to the
06:04bottom of the glass on the windshield
06:06this actually pivots over to a couple
06:08inches above the bottom so when it's
06:11wiping there's just a bunch of rain and
06:13water at the bottom that still continues
06:16to roll up the windshield even while
06:18you've cleared the windshield it's kind
06:19of a weird California Quirk where they
06:22design cars that aren't as good in rain
06:25as you would expect either way I'll just
06:26finish my way around the outside of the
06:27truck it's a pretty big truck as you
06:29already know it's full size especially
06:31from like this rear 3/4 angle it just
06:33has these big shoulders it kind of looks
06:35like a dump truck in a way maybe that's
06:38not the best way to describe it but
06:40that's that's what it reminds me of uh
06:42either way big glass sunroof and then
06:44you've got this huge truck bed which has
06:47the lockable tono cover which they call
06:49a vault and when that comes up it closes
06:53window and comes all the way
06:56back to the front then you can open the
06:59tailgate there's lights in the tailgate
07:00there's even hidden storage right here
07:03there's no room for a spare so this is a
07:05truck where if you want to carry a spare
07:07that's going to take up room in the
07:08actual truck but you know you can have
07:10your charging equipment down here maybe
07:12have some groceries down here a little
07:14sub trunk space never heard anybody and
07:16I definitely want to mention you have
07:17these Outlets over here so you have the
07:19220s but you also have a 240 volt which
07:21you can literally use to charge other
07:23vehicles you can charge another Tesla
07:25you can charge a rivan whatever just
07:27with the mobile connector by plugging it
07:28in here and plug it into the other
07:30vehicle which is pretty sweet but this
07:32is also a good time to talk about the
07:34battery of the Cyber Tru it's a big
07:37battery physically but it's not the best
07:40range I've ever seen so this dual motor
07:42cyber Tru is going to get on a full 100%
07:45charge up to like 320 M indicated you
07:48can actually drive more like 290 and the
07:51triple motor which I've been recently
07:53living with Max is out a 300 indicated
07:56which is actually more like 265 275
08:00and it's also not the fastest charging
08:01Tesla we've seen either you go to a
08:02regular Tesla Supercharger and you don't
08:05max out at quite the same charge curve
08:07speeds for a long time as like a model 3
08:10or a model S would so it's really not
08:12the ideal long-term Road Tripper that
08:16said there are several accessories that
08:19are supposed to be also coming to the
08:21Cyber truck and this is one of those low
08:23points of the Cyber Tru which is it's so
08:24early that they don't exist yet and I
08:26don't know when they will but one of
08:28them is the extended battery that goes
08:31in the back of this thing that brings it
08:33up to allegedly 500 Miles huge several
08:37th000 lbs plugs into the truck takes up
08:40space in the truck bed I don't know if
08:42or when that's coming but it exists on
08:44their website the other is the light bar
08:47on the top it's also who knows when it's
08:51coming there's no info about it I saw
08:52one at Test's Factory but no indication
08:55of when that's going to come even though
08:56I ordered one and I have a truck that
09:00so the last thing that's not shipping
09:03with the Cyber truck yet is autopilot so
09:06it has all these sensors it has all
09:08these cameras all the way around the
09:09truck but the autopilot or full
09:11self-driving that you're used to in
09:13other Model S and model 3 and model Y
09:15and model X doesn't work all that this
09:17has is traffic wear cruise control so
09:20you still steer but it will do following
09:22the car in front of you and keeping its
09:24distance variable speed that's it you
09:27paid for autopilot you don't get it you
09:29paid for that battery doesn't exist yet
09:32you paid for the light on top it's not
09:34there but let me show you it is here
09:36because I have noticed some new stuff
09:37and by the way I said this in the
09:38Impressions video I said that this would
09:40happen and here are all your
09:42fingerprints from getting into the Cyber
09:43Tru but let's look at the interior real
09:45quick this is your steering wheel so the
09:49Cyber truck is in EV that sounds bad uh
09:55the Cyber Tru is in every possible way a
09:57Tesla on the inside it's very very
10:00minimal and to me maybe even too minimal
10:04just because this is supposed to feel a
10:05little bit more of a special vehicle
10:07here you go first of all this is the key
10:09it's just the normal key fob but this is
10:12the first Tesla ever with a power
10:14opening front trunk it would be nice to
10:15have a button to open it or just kind of
10:17like a cool cyber fob but cost got to
10:20save cost same thing here it's
10:22everything on one screen and to give
10:26them credit it's an awesome screen it's
10:28a huge display I think it's 15 in
10:30diagonally it's got all this compute
10:32it's really smooth Everything you ask it
10:35to do it usually does it pretty dang
10:38smoothly so even though there is no
10:39carplay there is no Android auto this is
10:41the best computer I've ever used in a
10:44car all the UI pretty intuitive I think
10:47some people find this menu a little bit
10:49intimidating because there's a lot
10:51visually going on here but once you get
10:53used to it you kind of know by muscle
10:55memory where to get to things I just
10:57wish there was climate control buttons
10:59like I always do in a car you have to go
11:01into the menus here and then sort of
11:03move this stuff around this is all this
11:05is all very Tesla right but you've got
11:08this storage space in the middle you've
11:09got two wireless chargers that work
11:11great two cup holders and then storage
11:13in the center here and that actually
11:15goes down even further and then some
11:17pretty comfortable seats I'd say they
11:20are heated and ventilated but I think
11:23what you really care about from the
11:24driver's seat is the steering so one of
11:26the highs of the Cyber Tru is it has
11:29this incredible steering which is
11:30enabled by basically three main things a
11:33combination of the things one steer by
11:35wire two a variable steering ratio and
11:39three rear wheel steering okay so all of
11:42these things put together make this the
11:44most Nimble feeling truck especially at
11:47low speeds I think ever made okay so
11:51this is the steering wheel or squirkle
11:54you're dealing with it's kind of small
11:56but it does have your blinker buttons
11:59that are are physical buttons that
12:00actually click instead of just haptics
12:02you've got your uh headlights there a
12:03real horn thankfully uh and your
12:07autopilot button which again just does
12:09adaptive cruise control and your Jesus
12:12your giant windshield rer right there
12:14and voice controls okay so we know what
12:16this looks like first thing that's crazy
12:18about this is this is full lock it's not
12:21this like hand over hand overand thing
12:23to get the truck to fully steer that is
12:26turning all the way right and that is
12:29turning all the way left so this is the
12:31most one-h handable driving vehicle
12:33probably ever of this size and then the
12:36variable steering ratio all that really
12:38means is at low speeds it's turning the
12:40wheel steer by wire is this crazy thing
12:43it sounds insane because the wheel is
12:45not physically connected to the actual
12:47wheels and tires it's all just a
12:49computer and might as well be a video
12:51game controller but what it's actually
12:53doing on top of all that is it's
12:56changing the amount that it's steering
12:58based on how fast you're going so at low
13:00speeds really really quick and Nimble
13:03and at high speeds it softens up a
13:05little bit and it's not quite so bad you
13:08get used to it very quickly and then
13:10like I said the last component is the
13:12rear wheels turn more than any other
13:14vehicle again that I've ever tried 10°
13:18right now in either direction and so
13:20when you're turning around quickly in a
13:22small parking lot it's incredibly
13:24impressive how quickly you can get into
13:25parking spots and turn in and out of
13:27things and at highway speeds it actually
13:30changes the rear wheel Direction in the
13:32same way as the front wheels so you're
13:34kind of gliding from Lane to Lane like I
13:37said it all gets put together into this
13:39really nice package of very Nimble
13:43impressive handling it's not a sports
13:44car by any means but it's it's really
13:47Nimble for a full-size truck it's
13:49actually gotten to the point where I got
13:50so used to it like this that I I
13:52recently drove an F150 Lightning and I
13:54felt like I was doing a whole bunch of
13:55extra movement to get the truck to do
13:57the same amount of turning even though
13:59F-150 Lightning is decently Nimble it's
14:02like whoo all this extra movement this
14:04makes it feel like I should just be able
14:05to do this with every truck that's full
14:07lock that's crazy but okay let me just
14:09hit you with a couple other build
14:10quality things from this front seat
14:11before we get to the back first of all
14:13this rear viiew mirror maybe the dinki
14:17rearview mirror you'll ever see in a car
14:19this size it's also borderline useless
14:21because you don't actually see out the
14:23back of the truck when the tunel cover
14:24is closed instead you have to deal with
14:27a screen rear view mirror here this is
14:31classic Tesla Tesla wants to save money
14:35we all know that this should have been a
14:37screen to have your rearview mirror show
14:39up here from the camera feed but instead
14:42they put the camera feed on the screen
14:43because another screen means more cost
14:46and they don't want more cost it's
14:47annoying but you have to remap your
14:49brain to check there instead of there to
14:51look behind you pretty classic Tesla
14:54either way you also have this gigantic
14:57expansive wind shield and the the weird
15:00angle thing kind of plays tricks on you
15:03cuz you feel like you can't see over the
15:05hood but that corner basically is the
15:08hood so you have a little visibility
15:10there and then basically it's a it's a
15:13cliff right there where it drops off so
15:16it's just huge window and then cliff and
15:19then at the top of this Cliff here is
15:21your uh sun shades which are pretty big
15:25but they're these like half sun shades
15:27again to stay out of the way so the root
15:29over your head then this half sun shade
15:31thing and then just like the Fisker
15:33actually tiny tiny mirrors on each of
15:37these but uh it does actually flip out
15:40just like that over to the side so there
15:42you go God these are weird big mirror
15:45things and then uh you have your light
15:47here so you can pop that open I said
15:49open you can pop that on or off and then
15:52the last thing I want to talk about is
15:53these speakers which are actually
15:57incredible this is one of the highlights
15:59back to the highlights of the Cyber Tru
16:02best sound system I've ever heard in a
16:04truck top five sound systems I've ever
16:06heard in a vehicle and I think the
16:09subwoofers are at the front it really
16:11sounds like the thump and how they're
16:13really good subwoofers but I think
16:15there's two subwoofers both at the front
16:18possibly in the doors that end up
16:20sounding incredible I I don't I want to
16:23verify that because there's a lot of
16:24other speakers in the vehicle from one
16:26here to there to there to there but bro
16:30it sounds amazing in here but let's do
16:32the back seat cuz this is actually a
16:33pretty comfortable back seat experience
16:36and I kind of in my head a little bit
16:38I'm comparing it to other full-size
16:40trucks like the F-150 Lightning but also
16:43like the rivan r1t for example which is
16:45a bit smaller this is a really good back
16:48seat so again one of my favorite tricks
16:50with this back seat row is you've got
16:52three across and if you pop this up you
16:55can just raise up those two back seats
16:59and get even more storage I have these
17:01like floor mats in here but that amount
17:03of storage very quickly is super
17:05convenient and I like that a lot about
17:07it pop it back down and then you get in
17:10and I'm behind a 63 driving position
17:12here and oh wow it's a good amount of
17:14leg room you have that little pocket
17:17right there you have a larger display at
17:19the back here so for all your HVAC
17:21controls and media I would never use
17:23that cuz watching a movie Down by your
17:25knee is just weird to me but you know
17:28you have the option if you want
17:37oh just had to pause for a
17:41second but I tell you anyway like I said
17:44it's a really good back seat one more
17:45thing I couldn't figure out how to do
17:47quickly was put this little middle
17:49armrest down but there's a little hook
17:52right here you pull that then you can
17:54put the middle armrest down and you've
17:55got two cup holders and not really much
17:57else but at least you have that for the
17:59middle passenger if you want to give
18:02somebody a seat there you go these are
18:04comfortable seats you know what's funny
18:05about this whole back seat thing is so
18:06many people are going to use the Cyber
18:08Tru just like a large SUV I'll talk
18:12about this more in the main Channel full
18:14review but this truck has very clear
18:17weaknesses like the other electric
18:19trucks at truck things
18:22off-roading Towing for example it's not
18:25very good at that stuff over long
18:26distances but SP spiler 90 something per
18:30of people almost never use truck stuff
18:34with their trucks they buy F-150s and
18:36they never tow anything or haul anything
18:38or maybe once a year they do and so this
18:40truck is actually amazing for that and
18:42if you made me road trip in any of these
18:44full-size electric trucks I probably
18:46want to be in the backseat of this one
18:47to be honest this or the F-150 Lightning
18:49but this still with the supercharger
18:52Advantage it's real I would I'd rather
18:54be in this one but hey as long as we're
18:55talking about driving I just want to
18:57mention the suspension
18:59on the Cyber truck is one of the most
19:01underrated things about it it's a
19:03highlight for sure so it's got this air
19:05suspension with this massive amount of
19:08travel this is right now one of the
19:10higher settings and it looks pretty high
19:12you can tell but in sport mode it lowers
19:15itself all the way down for maximum
19:17efficiency and arrow even though it's
19:20kind of a refrigerator but the point is
19:22it can go lower and it can go even
19:24higher in its full maximum mode which
19:26off-roading it just looks silly and also
19:28so super cool there's like an extraction
19:31mode for if it's stuck in something
19:34which yes people have gotten it stuck in
19:35things but it'll get even higher there's
19:37like a foot total of travel with the air
19:39suspension more impressive to me is the
19:42fact that it doesn't seem to body roll
19:45or a yaw very much so when you hit that
19:47accelerator in an F-150 Lightning dude
19:50the nose comes up the whole thing rocks
19:52back and forth this is surprisingly flat
19:56again not a sports car don't get it
19:58twist it it's not going to feel stable
20:01like something much lower to the ground
20:03but I was expecting much more body roll
20:05out of this thing uh also while we're at
20:07the front let me just hit that front
20:09button this is a weird button because
20:12you don't pull it you like press in on
20:15this button which is a little bit
20:16unusual but that's a pretty small front
20:18trunk not going to lie uh you can put
20:21groceries in here it's pretty small you
20:22can tailgate if you want to sit here you
20:25are covered from the rain um there's
20:29also a lot of talk about how dangerous
20:30this front trunk might be specifically
20:33at these pinch points over in the
20:36corners sounds like a test for the main
20:38Channel but I think the uh the moral of
20:42the story is don't put your fingers near
20:45the pinch points while it's closing just
20:48trust me on this one but okay last
20:50highlight of the Cyber truck again first
20:53Tesla with a power opening front trunk
20:55and with a camera on the front but again
20:58I I'll just bring it back to the looks
20:59at the end of the day this is one of
21:01those weirdly polarizing Vehicles where
21:04most of your verdict on it is probably
21:07already dictated by how it looks whether
21:11you love the way it looks which trust me
21:13as you drive down the street you realize
21:15a lot of people love it or if you hate
21:17the way it looks and you would never
21:19drive this stainless steel refrigerator
21:21on Wheels it's got all kinds of bug
21:23marks and stuff all over it as you've
21:25seen I haven't had any rusting issues or
21:28any s with it yet I don't really clean
21:30trucks very often but so far so good but
21:34it is kind of hard to ignore how many
21:36other Tech things are under the hood the
21:38800 volt architecture makes it
21:40surprisingly the lightest electric
21:42pickup truck among the Hummer EV and the
21:45rivan and the F-150 Lightning um it
21:47obviously has a crazy suspension which
21:51is really really capable the computers
21:53inside all this stuff working for it but
21:56look it's all about what you think of
21:59the Aesthetics so let me know in the
22:01comments what you think of the
22:02Aesthetics also shout out to Ridge for
22:04sponsoring this video and providing this
22:06cyber Tru that I've been testing for the
22:08past couple weeks until I got mine you
22:10guys might have already seen but I've
22:13actually joined ridge's board I a chief
22:16creative partner with Ridge and we're

22:28they got the the cybertruck here and
22:29we're able to get it out here and they
22:30actually already make a bunch of really
22:31well-made solid products very similar to
22:34the Cyber Tru the ridge wallet you've
22:36seen but also the key case they have a
22:38pen my personal favorite is the commuter
22:40backpack I've been using this backpack
22:41traveling the past couple weeks and it
22:43basically holds everything exactly that
22:46I want and nothing more I just did an
22:47international trip it's got this nice
22:49little air tags holder and a passport
22:51sleeve it's great and right now they're
22:53doing a they're doing an 11year
22:56anniversary sale so if you go to Ridge /
22:59MKBHD you can jump in there and there's
23:01a ton of stuff that's I think 30% off
23:03and also if you buy during the sale you
23:04can return things up to 365 days after
23:07you get it no questions asked instead of
23:09the normal 99 days which is already
23:11super generous but hey Ridge is clearly
23:13feeling generous cuz they're letting me
23:15try their cybertruck for a while so I'll
23:19leave it at this there's only four
23:22electric trucks out there they all
23:25struggle with truck things Towing
23:28hauling long-term range but they all are
23:32pretty nice large SUV type Vehicles
23:37which one's your favorite if you could
23:38drop one in your garage right now would
23:40it be the attention grabbing cyber truck
23:42or would you float towards something
23:44like F-150 Lightning a little more
23:46traditional rivan r1t a little more
23:49off-road a little more Adventure or are
