- The Cybertruck has arrived. Different than expected in many ways... but still a BEAST of a machine that I cant wait to get my hands on. As a truck owner myself, who drives an Electric Truck, I have a few thoughts about the Tesla delivory event. And I have a few opinions on how the Cybertruck will be able to handle being an actual truck... Check out the Electric Jetski factory here: • How To Build an Electr...

I am wondering if the Cybertruck will pass EU Regulations for Pedestrian Safety, it doesn't have the plastic bumpers and if someone is being hit by it, it's gonna be pretty bad.
te pup rafaeleee
it won't iraphahele
It wasn't so much that I was worried about at first. It's the fact the thing is bulletproof. Cool at first but in an accident where it requires you to be physically cut out of the car there is no way todo that safely here.
Ce faci vere
No, it won't pass EU regulations for that or for 20 other reasons.
I think this is great news for people who get into firefights a lot or who need to take their truck into outer space.
Chicago
Musk said delivery to Martian customers should start next year.
@@bignorbert1136the fact that this is actually something Elon would probably say makes this way funnier than it should be
probably good for Sinaloa cartel fights, prob will see many in Mazatlan and Ciudad Juarez
Specifically firefights that avoid windows being hit lol
The stats on the Cybertruck are inline with other electric vehicles, I'm more interested in seeing the Implementation. Crash tests, actual battery range, handling, and convenience.
if EVs have told us anything about marketing vs reality, it's that actual battery range very rarely exceeds 80% of what the manufacturer claims. I'd love to see a range test of this truck with two people inside and a bed full of cargo.
Hauling capacity, towing power, and range are the only concerns I have in a truck. Tesla fails all 3 tests for me.
Mount the spare tire underneath after the truck gets lifted. Problem solved
@@gandalf5895which is exactly why electric trucks are still quite horrible as real work vehicles. Towing something or hauling a bunch of cargo takes off like 300 mi off the range. I'd imagine this to be very important in the US.
The electric truck concept could theoretically work for me, as an electrician in Europe. Distances are rarely over 20km. But they are still way too large for our streets, there would be no way to park it in the city. The cybertruck wouldn't even be able to carry my toolboxes.
For us, "caddy" form factor cars and smaller vans will always make more sense as work vehicles. Not to mention these trucks are way too expensive for 90% of small businesses in my country.
Cybertruck seems to be a toy for the average American who never does any work but owns an F-150.
have fun towing something with an ev and then trying to fit into a charging station. gurantee youll never want to do it again@@masterkamen371
It's fun to present "304 stainless" as "space grade material". It is a very common alloy: Most kitchen pans and food grade metal stuff is generally made out it (resists acidic food corrosion)
It's a special alloy designed by Tesla and SpaceX it's the same metal that starship uses, so that's why it's space grade. This material doesn't corrodes.
Space grade basicly means it can exist in outer space, nothing more nothing less.
You need to read up why there was a need to make a new alloy for SpaceX starship. It is not the same as the stainless steel pan in our kitchen.
@@ShubhendraSingh2808 The video stated "304 stainless" though. Which is a standardized blend of iron, nickel and chromium mostly.
@@inv4der1 "Doesn't corrodes" is a funny statement. Most "stainless" or "corrosion-resistant" metals do in fact corrode very fast, but the density of the oxidized layer is close enough to that of the original material that it does not crack and quickly forms a protection layer preventing the propagation of the reaction.
I do love what SpaceX is doing with the starships, but please don't get that deep into the hype-machine that you think they make magic unvelnerable "stainless 304"
I wonder how long the main control screen can hold up under the lighter test
This is what we need
I typed in cyberjunk and this popped up. Good job YT.
Yesss tech teardown. How long until you release a cyber truck x-ray skin? 😂
You need buy army tank for it
The plastic "box" hanging under the bed is just for reducing aero drag. Kyle Connor showed a view under it and there is a gap. So it could be replaced with a skid plate that relieves some of the clearance, but expect a modest reduction in efficiency.
@jerryrigeverything
What about the rear steering? Could that contribute to the bulk under the truck?
And it could double as a step
Efficiency?! The thing weighs over 6800 lbs; more than two Honda Civics.
@@JonnyFlash80 That's even more reason for the focus on efficiency.
Never thought 304 stainless steel would be presented as a super material 😅
It’s not 304. The limiting factor has a video on the patents Tesla has out on its unique formulation.
@@Jeddin Ohh so it's 'special' steel?
@@milohdd I’m not sure if you are being sarcastic. But I’ll answer your remark with a serious answer. The development is steel alloys is an extremely complicated field generating continuous improvement in the steel properties despite it being known for thousands of years. If you simplify steel to variables to only carbon content by weight and the temperature you can form a range of different of steel microstructures such as ferrite, austenite and cementite. You have a wide range of temperatures and carbon percentage than you can vary which will form steel alloys with different properties. Further more if you introduce a time element during the steel formation for any given carbon composition you get Time-temperature-transformation plots which are used to further used to further alter the microstructure such that the desired mechanical properties are attained. So with just the most basic variables of carbon composition, time and temperature you can get an extremely complex variety of steel. Plus you can add further elements into the steel alloy to alter the properties even more such as adding in Mn. That’s how you get different varieties of “special” steel. They can be classified in groups such as Austenitic high-Mn steels, Austenitic multiphase steels (e.g. MMnS and Q&P steel), Ferritic
single phase steels, Ferritic multiphase
Steels. So yes there are all sorts of “special” steels out there. That’s why companies hire metallurgists and material science PhD’s to devise proprietary formulations that they patent for their own use such as what Tesla has done
It's not the composition what makes it's special, but the work hardening they do at the factory. That's what makes it super strong. And then the trick is bending it without damage.
Ok coming from a gas truck owner, that uses it for daily driving, work (hauling a tractor, excavator, equipment, etc), and for play (camping and off-road adventures, there is no electric truck that is "miles ahead" in any category. My truck can haul my equipment for 300+miles, refill in 10 minutes, drop off the trailer, carry 2 5gallon cans for an extra 200 miles of range off-road, and then come home and take me to get dinner, all that for spending 20 minutes at a gas station. And then I can do it all over again without a 8-12 hour recharge. These trucks are fine for daily drivers and trips to home Depot for some bags of dirt. Not a thing wrong with that. But hauling 10k pounds one way to a job and being out of range and not able to get home, is out of the question. But, even with the daily commuter, there are times when I'm out and drive over the range of an electric truck, and I'd be stuck. So no, they are not miles ahead, they are electric cars shaped like trucks. It's a different category.
The stainless steel being able to not shatter when dipped in liquid nitrogen has no bearings on any real use case. But the metal shell does raise questions when it comes to crash safety. It may be completely safe for the people in the truck but what about in a pedestrian/bicycle/motorcycle collision? It seems likely to cause more damage in those cases.
It's not safe for people in the truck either. Have you seen the crash test video?
@@OpenWebChat exactly, they are way bigger, they make way more noise, way slower... that truck is electric, so you wont be able to hear as well as a huge garbage truck, it can accelerate pretty fast, its way smaller too. More people are able to drive that tesla, so more accidents too,etc
@@OpenWebChatdude it needs crumple zones
Most american answer@@OpenWebChat
The issue would be other cars too. Just check some suv vs small cars crash tests. Now imagine the cybertruck crashing into a car like a fiat 500 or Toyota corolla or even into a small suv.
6:32 He said it, he said the thing!
He admits he has not driven, sat in a production cybertruck yet and he says its on par with the lightning and rivian. 😂
He was talking about the auxiliary power.
I'm curious about crash tests. I heard the designers say they removed internal structure because the exterior provided so much rigidity.. but there is a reason cars have stopped doing that: crumple zones and on the crash test I've seen it doesn't look like the front crumples properly in a direct frontal collision.
There are crash tests on CZcams.
Rigidity is a 1950s answer to car "safety". Vehicle stops dead and all the passengers splatter over the interior!
But nobody can tell Elmo about building cars (or anything else), because he knows everything...
BTW, friend has a late model, model S... Under 20K miles... It's on its second front motor, 2nd rear suspension, 3rd set of front drive shafts. he goes through drive shafts faster than tyres! 🤣
And he doesn't even drive like an idiot! I don't think he's going to keep it when it's out of warranty!
And people were worried about battery longevity 🤣
@@dimitri0404 Yes, and they don't look ideal.. it crumples less than most vehicles would, but they are at relatively low speed, so it's not conclusive.
@@juststeve5542 I call bs with your comment.
@@Jimbogf Fine. I don't care, I'm hardly going to dox myself, or my friend, to convince some stranger on the internet.
One thing about stainless, it can rust, especially when exposed to regular steels. Stainless has an outside layer similar to aluminum oxide that's the "Stainless" part. a good scratch can contaminate stainless and then you have a nucleation site for rust to form. As one of my field service techs tell me, it's stainLESS, not stain won't.
All those deloreans are rusting buckets i hear
Saying „stainless steel“ is like saying „metal“. There are dozens of flavors of stainless steel with drastically different properties.
That's why it's called stain LESS, not stain never.
@@iamaduckquack less in stainless means without off, same as Flawless or worthless, the latter describes the value of your english knowledge.
I was about to ask about rust when I saw your comment. I'll be curious to know how this thing handles salt.
The higher voltage architecture also contributes to the weight savings as the lower current means that thinner conductors can be used in the high voltage wiring.
Don't forget the low voltage is 48V too, saving low voltage wiring weight too.
Yep that will save you all of 10kg if that 😅
@@jpf1978 aye hes not wrong though lmaoo
First time i hear the stainless doesn't "rust". Yes, it doesnt go brown and crunchy, but have many of its own problems. Shout out to anyone who worked with old stainless bolts without ceramic grease or which touched the normal steel and got stuck. I had to cut out many of the stainless bolts.
A local galvanization plant has 3 spare stainless steel electrical boxes ready at all times. They get corroded to the point of the steel turning into dust after a month or two. So the solution is to have "drop-in" boxes.
Can't wait for the cybertruck durability test and flame test.... or may be flame test is just for phone but anyway will be a fun video to watch. Thankyou Jerry for the awesome work and videos.
Now do a video on the negatives of stainless steel and why almost no auto manufacturer uses it.
Those are basically all production related so it doesnt really matter for the buyer.
Also: replace stainless steel with batteries. Same argument.
@@theipc-twizzt2789no, they're lots of issues that it'll bring to the costumer, and to other ppl when it eventually crashes.
Batteries are used by basically every car manufacturer now, there is basically no major csr brand that doesn't have an EV now, so your point makes no sense
Fixing dents will be a nightmare, and the truck will be a giant heat suck in the winter, but bulletproof!
@@AgusSimoncelli You could have made the same comment 10 years ago.
No one was using batteries.
"Experts" said it wasnt doable.
Surely you can list a few issues.
@@theipc-twizzt2789 Nobody said it wasn't doable. The first cars ever made were electric. Stop acting like Elon invented it.
4:35 bro did not answer the question
Your reviewer style is unique and feeling like a "future". Thanks a lot Zack. Good job as always for anything you're doing...
Thanks for your thoughts. I still like the CT and hope to own one in a few years.
Appreciate the update and care taken with this video, my friend. Cars are my other passion in this life - and you are making it easier to continue that passion and live vicariously through you :)
I'm just glad to see the trailer manufacturers are getting smart and putting in electric assist.
I enjoyed watching this video, and it makes me even more pleased to own a 2011 Ford Ranger 4x4 that's bought and paid for.
Cant wait to see the teardown. What pick level will the body scratch at?
Who’s done more in the last 4 years? Zack in his family or Elon on Cybertruck?
definitely Zack
lol
elon
Considering Elon is tanking a Billion+ dollar company, Twitter, I'd say Elon is doing a lot of sink shipping during that time.
@@Pwn3dbyth3n00byou're fun at parties
They’re charging $400 per ramp (you’ll need two) instead. You’d think for $800 they’d make it an optional built-in tailgate function.
@@neganthevegan7138 True. I was thinking of the quad they had in the unveil event. And if they're making a full width ramp, it's be the equivalent of getting two.
Sure it was a prototype for the unveil but clearly they made a decent version of it. If anyone could refine it, it's the engineers at Tesla. I think they took it off the base design to keep the price low. So make it an add-on extra for the people that really need it. Like what they did with the range extender.
That would mean having a different stamping. Teslas whole thing is less parts and sticking with 1 mold which reduces manufacturing costs.
@@davidzambrano9126 At least it would be reduced to just a new tailgate part. They have to make completely separate tooling for this ladder ramp accessory now anyway. Unless someone else makes it for them and Tesla just sells it.
At least with a tailgate ramp they can keep some level of part and interface commonality.
That tailgate ramp was destined to fail. Can you imagine trying to slide it back in while covered in mud
Jerry, are you not cold in the winter in just a t shirt?
Phenomenal video Zach, great to get your perspective
Thanks for the very honest and objective analysis.
the most impressive thing about cybertruck is how every influencer change their tune from 'bitter disappointment' to 'revolutionary' in 24 hours all on their own. lol
"all on their own", yeah, sure ...
I mean when someone gives you what is essentially a free new car to talk about they're probably going to change their tune from unbaised reviewer to fanboy of a man who's fanbase might literally kill them if they upset their tech daddy.
@@seventeenseventythirteen7465 They have to give it back as far as I know
It's all about clicks
who are these nameless influencers? Haven´t seen one person calling it revolutionary. Most unserious takes are still that it´s a joke, the serious ones seem to say it has some perks and some weaknesses and is damn expensive.
I've programmed and setup cnc benders for a decade, to bend 304 Stainless steel is rough, I can tell you it's ridiculously hard to work with. Many a tooling has been lost trying to make even the simplest of bends.
that's why it doesn't have a lot of bends 🤔
Tesla had to develop a new process, which they call "air bending" for CT production, to avoid the problems you mention.
As a machinist who works at Tesla. Trust me, I watched our press brake machines crack trying to bend this steel. Our first year of working on the cybertruck was Insanely difficult to bend.
@@Ssshortman are you a bot!? they have developped nothing! its actually not that hard to bend! those angles are not that complex to begin with.
@@onestepclosertoheaven7347 lol.......
I was so confused when the video started playing in my native language. I didn't even know CZcams allowed multiple audio tracks. Very cool, man.
Nice, short, and on-point as usual! Thank you!
You should install a geothermal heat pump for your bunker. The hole is already dug, so you might as well. Heat pumps would be a very clean, green, renewable source of energy
Geothermal needs WAY deeper
@MoonBerryShrimp not true.
@@MoonBerryShrimp depends on the system. some heat pumps work with pipes going 1m deep. others need circuit at a depth of 10m.
It would need to either be much deeper, or much wider. If you’re doing a shallow circuit, it needs to be spread over a large area.
Who tf is gonna simp for mother earth in a survival scenario?
I'll be burning tires for warmth
4:41 ummmm... you gonna give it back
Can’t wait to see your electric snowmobile and hopefully Cybertruck!!
Honestly jerry if the whole Internet is destroyed and we have only access to your channel it be enough to entertained, learn something, enjoy tech, enjoy bunker making, transforming cars, etc etc.. Tbh I don't subscribe CZcams channels at all but yours I can't resist. Love your channel bro.
His name is not Jerry

Been a subscriber for a couple years now, really wish I would've found your channel sooner. Awesome video, keep up the great content. Can't wait for you to get your Cybertruck so you can, ummm, examine it up close. I'm very excited by the steer by wire, 48v low volt architecture, and 800v high volt architecture. Can't wait to see your future videos. Take care.
@@isaackvasager9957 we've had that tech since the 80s and we use it in airplanes.
@@isaackvasager9957 it has a triple redundancy system. Lexus has developed something similar too.
You’re getting a lot of hate online I saw on Twitter from Tesla stans, which I think is unfair because you’re right on point. This is not what was promised on range or price.
yup, tesla needs to be sued by investors for false advertising to be honest.
Lol that’s because focusing on price or range is idiotic when ignoring the game changing or innovative features. EVERYTHING is more expensive now. This guy is a fool, along ppl like Andy Slye. Unfortunately not smart, has nothing to do with being a fanboy, one only needs to look at facts to give this truck a fair comparison
@@sur83848 shill detected
@@sur83848 as MKBHD said. there is no innovation on the cybertruck just took things that already existed and made it work really well. that being said. Zack and alot of other youtubers criticisms are correct. And their praises are also correct. I see the cybertruck as a suburban dad truck. actual truck drivers wont switch to this.
@@sur83848 Okay fanboy.
Kudos for being the only CZcamsr being honest about the potential weaknesses of the Cybertruck.
He's still pretty much absolutely simping for it.
@@Xelbiuj_1988I was astounded when he said it was "definitely infinitely better than gas powered trucks" when the better EV - the lightning - is doing terribly because EV trucks suck for doing truck stuff (and I drive a Raptor, so I know what a toy truck is)
@@T4nkcommander I was also dumbfounded when he said that. It's clear he's never tried to go long distance or tow anything in an electric truck
@@Xelbiuj_1988 Yes, because he's not calling it a doomsday machine on wheels that will destroy the planet.
@@griffin8062 Electric anything will never be able to equal the energy density of gas but since 90% of people who have light trucks and SUVs never haul anything with their truck for the entire time of owning one and if they do it's only a few times and not a significant distance, It's a downside which will be irrelevant for the vast majority of consumers.
These electric trucks are “miles ahead of their ice counterparts… unless you are a long haul trucker.” Well played! 😂
truth
I love the casual raising the question of where he got a cybertruck battery cell without addressing it and the misquote of Princess Bride. You're videos are the best Zack!😂
I know stainless steel can resist the outer space... but the question is how much of a death trap the cybertruck is in a crash with such a rigid structure
i'm sure you could take a wetstone to it and create quite a knife edge on it hah. get out of my way peasants!!
@@cho4dWho needs crumple zones? It's all about slice zones now
if you checked the crash test video for the cybertruck it's not that bad. however, it's gonna deal a great amount of damage to anything it crashes into.
@@yuuki7749 its not that good either, if you look at the other similar sized truck crash tests the dummies endure way less forces.
one of my thoughts too, i hope we dont see some major issues in the future with people dying because of its build. its also extremely ugly lol
Love how the steel vs stainless steel demo echoed through that workshop!
Easy solution for your spare tire, mount it in the front. You don't have intake grills (for whatever reason, bc batteries need cooling too) so you can just out board it there. They (tesla) just needs to make it so you can have a front hitch receiver
I think there was a rumor floating around that either Unplugged Performance or another brand is doing a rear mount bracket for the spare tire. A front mounted tire is also doable but might hinder some forward visibility.
Oh nice, but I forgot how much range is reliant on aerodynamics, so it may not be as feasible. Rear mounted tire might be a better idea. @@TheReal_JG
As the only certified Rivian collision repair tech in my state, you should know something. The quarter panel is NOT ALUMINUM. In fact, the entire cab and quarter panel are steel. All the bolt on parts are aluminum (tailgate, doors, fenders, hood) and there is a sectioning procedure to replace just the quarter panel and costs about $15k at my shop. Not tens of thousands. I've done 2 so far and have repaired about a dozen.
You might have meant 1500 but 15k is tens of thousands lol
Sure the hell didn't mean $1500 because that's a normal for an average vehicle.
$15,000 for a sheet of metal LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL
15k is tens of thousands

Thank you for the honest opinions.
Charge on!
Since I am currently driving a 24 year old S10 with 200k miles, it is probably going to be a while before I drive an EV, but it is still fascinating to see how far EV's have come, And yes, I want to see a Cybertruck durability tested.
My very first vehicle was an 82 F150, nicknamed "the beast." It got 7 mpg. Luckily gas wasn't expensive in 97.
I would rather buy your car than the cyber pos any day of the week. I don't want to ride around in an internet-on-wheels cancer box.
@@trondbolme5435 OK hill billy (who hates EVs and is paranoid about their cell phones and technology) no one asked you.
My 03 f150 gets 14mpg, in the last 5 years I've spent roughly 14k on gas.
Compare that to the roughly 67MPGe I'm guessing we will see with cybertruck *$3,600 in electric cost= $10,400 saved on fuel if you home charge.
Add in additional ICE cost for maintenance like brakes, oil changes, tune-ups... A couple grand more.
Someone who puts 50 miles a day on a pickup could do pretty well owning a dual-motor, let alone the single motor version.
@@Crackerjuice75 While the Cyber Truck and Rivian are very cool vehicles, they are not as efficient as everyone claims. You need to compare Apples to Apples. Comparing a 2003 F150 to a Cyber Truck is an unfair advantage in that engine technology has changed in 20 years. So for argument sake - a 2023 F150 XLT is $46,000 on average compared to the Cyber Truck average $80,000. That's a $36,000 savings you need to make up in fuel. Now let's look at fuel. The 2023 F150 can go approximately 520 miles on a 26 gallon tank as it's average MPG between city (17) and highway (26) is 20MPG. The Cybertruck has a range of approximately 320 miles on a 122 kwh battery at an estimated efficiency of 2.6mi/kwh. Having driven electric cars, I don't suspect many will make the 2.6 mile mark, but then there are those that will crush it as well, so 2.6 is it for the average. So to go 520 miles, the Cyber Truck needs approximately 200kwh of battery. Now the fun part, fuel costs - The F150 at a national average of $3.10 per gallon of gas (as of 12/4/2023), costs approximately $80. They Cyber Truck, when powered solely at home, and powered to the equivalent 520 mile range the F150 has, cost $32 with the national home average electricity cost of $0.16 kwh, however, if you need to charge it while out for any reason, a full charge is going to go up to an average of $0.40 kwh, which brings your power cost up to $80 for a comparable 520 of range. But let's assume for a moment - you'll never need to charge outside your home, it will take 750 full fill ups to balance out the cost difference between a Cyber Truck and 2023 F150, equaling 390000 miles driven, or for the average person will need to go 26 years to see their savings. Sure - Full Disclosure, fuel prices will fluctuate, as will electricity prices, you can try to maximize your charging habits by only charging at certain times, but we're talking about over all for the masses. Am I saying electric trucks are no good - absolutely not. They are some of the coolest looking and very tech filled vehicles on the market, but as far as mass appeal, electric trucks are not efficient, just like long ago gas trucks were horribly inefficient. You can add in maintenance costs, but at 26 years to recoup your cost, you need to also potentially add in 2 batteries. TLDR - don't buy an electric truck or try to sell your electric purchase as doing your part for the environment or saving money in the long run, you're not and you won't. Buy it because you love it, it's a cool truck, you appreciate everything else it can do. Rant over.
0:10 Seconds into the video you can see and industrial robot installing a glass panel on the cyber truck. I work in Industrial automation and I must point out that the glass is spinning at least 180 degrees possibly more but we did not get to see the robots full installation cycle. It looks like the panel may have been spun more than 180 degrees which costs money to program and takes more time. Either way this is extremely inefficient and adds a ton of wear and tear to the robot as well as increasing the overall cycle time of that station. You should have the product packaged and arranged at the cell in such a way that you simply lift and install the panel instead of doing all that cool looking spinning stuff in the air. The robot could malfunction and drop the panel or send it flying... There are so many reasons to NOT spin the panel more than you MUST.
@@neganthevegan7138 that does sound like a reasonable answer on the surface but being that I program these robots I understand that it was just running through its normal work cycle minus a few processes. Basically someone just omitted the pickup and sit down functions and had it running through the rest of the program.
It's possible that they hired a programmer to come back and program the robot to do a similar procedure to its cycle except spin around in the air a bunch for show. But it's more likely that they just ran it and it's normal cycle and that rotation is what it will do during normal production.
Then again on second thought Elon Musk loves exaggerating claims and media hype so I guess he is the exact business owner that wouldn't mind paying thousands of dollars for extra programming just to make his robot spin around during a factory tour 😂
From what I know, all 13 of the delivered cybertrucks were handbuilt. The factory was not in production at all and there was even the possibility that they hadn't figured out the programming of the robots yet. We may not see a meaningful production volume until around this time next year.
that precision welding table got hammered out of spec real quick 🤣
You balling dawg. You got more toys than a wealthy newborn. Congrats on your success. I’m a fan of yours.
I would like to say that while the rivian tries to help departure angle with the curve. Both the cybertrunk and the rivian have adjustable air suspension, if the cybertruck has automatic leveling I don't think that the range extender would hurt the departure angle to bad. If not, it also has almost 2 more inches of ground clearance than rivian stock.
That plastic piece hanging will be smashed on so nany Cybertrucks trying to go off-road.
Brittleness varies with alloy. You can get steel that is OK at extreme cold. Even in the arctic it becomes an issue.
Also depending on the steel alloy and the aluminum alloy, you can have aluminum that is stronger than steel before even considering weight.
Aluminum 7075-T6 is almost as strong as 304SS and weighs a lot less.
aluminium 7075-t6 is very and 304ss is very expensive 🤡🤡🤡
Not in a direct impact test it isn't - not even close.
Anyone who works with stainless steel know how tough it is. Super tough difficult to work with. Apparently this thing does well in crashes because its so tough. That appeals to me as well. The stupid shaped bed…not so much. I’ll wait for the tesla van. Hopefully I’m not dead before it becomes a reality.
I frequently write you off, almost unfairly. This was a good video. Glad you made it out to the event.
That “random box” will be filled soon ;)
I'm waiting to see video footage of the Cybertruck operating in a traditional off-roading capacity!
The Cybertruck scratches at Level 100 with deeper grooves at Level 101.
🤣😂👍
Glass is glass and glass brakes
Actually steel is softer than glass, it just doesn't shatter like glass.
Stainless steel can rust, it's stainless not rust proof, it just depends on the amount of chrome in the alloy
Yup as an aerospace welder I'm very familiar with the many types of stainless alloys, the lower grades like the 304 he tested will definitely rust after time.
They address this in the Top Gear video
Yup it is why it is called stainless and not stainfree
It's not standard alloy.
And that is the reason, why Tesla (and SpaceX) came up with a special alloy, that is corrosion resistant and even harder than most other stainless steel alloys.
My boy Jerry be chilling w/ a t-shirt on the snow… that’s really impressive
As a person who enjoys this creator, I must add that stainless does, in fact, rust and corrode. Stainless is not rust and corrosion "proof." It is rust and corrosion resistant. Substantially better/more than steel on its own. Just thought I'd clarify that common misconception.
Chefs kiss would be a trunk that could fit a spare tire and a range extender that could be placed in the same space. This way it could triple as a trunk, spare tire holder, and range extender. Gives maximum flexibility and options. I know the weight distribution may be an issue, but it would be so much better than putting the range extender in the bed.
This would rock
This is literally what they have. Go look on the website.
@@ryanolson2430No, that is literally the opposite of what they have. He was asking for a frunk large enough for a battery or tire so it wouldn't fill the bed.
@@ryanolson2430 no, it’s a toolbox size box that takes up 1/3 of the bed space.
Think of the cost of repair if that cyber truck is in an accident. It may damage less than aluminum but when it’s damaged the cost and repair time will be huge.
I'm sure Shadetree Bill will cut out the dented bit and weld a fresh plate over it. No need to do a fancy stainless TIG weld either since 304/A2 gets absolutely fucked by any chlorines in the environment anyway.
It's a simple cut and weld job, nothing crazy
panels can be replaced. if the castings are damaged its just like any other car or truck, its a total loss. no diffence there so its not fair to ding it for something every other car also has to deal with.
@@sebastianflynn1746 hey I found Bill! How you doing man? Let me know how those SMAW stitches look half a year later.
@@SupremeRuleroftheWorld aren't the panels part of the load bearing exoskeleton? Seems to me like rubbing some Bondo on it after a fender bender would not be the solution it is for a 90's Toyota pickup.
About that spare. I run a HD 2500 for work and it's always outfitted with load range F 12 ply. Now where as my 15k dump trailer gets holes from the landfill ,almost every single time sometimes as many as 3 or 4, Ive only had one real flat in the last 7 years and that was mostly due to my negligence. Thats not to say I dont get nails in the tires but when I do the tire is either so thick it doesnt actually puncture the inside or if it does its such a slow leak I have time to get to the local tire store and get a boot installed. So on a truck not having a spare is not as big a deal as it is with my M3p but thats definitely another story and point of contention as well, it left me stranded so the 3 should have something in my opinion.
You know what I am most impressed by, the steel sparked when it shattered, so it went from -300°f to glowing red hot in a millisecond, and that is awesome
Or the spark was from the hammer's steel.
@4:30 Hey jerry 😂😂
Wonder how emergency services will deal with the cybertruck. If the cybertruck hits a pick up truck, or even a sedan, those vehicles are getting destroyed. And if the glass is really strong how will emergency services get into it to help anyone in a dangerous situation?
It is not armour glass anymore
Don't worry, the cybertruck has no crumple zone, anyone in a cybertruck at the moment of collision will be dead anyway.
@@dimitri0404 Why do all the videos show it having a crumple zone?
Phillip.
Car accidents never happened prior to the release of cybertruck
@@dimitri0404But it has crumple zones
Appreciate you doing a factual comparison without any hyperbole. I don't think I'm the target market for the Cybertruck, but I'm curious to see what it's like when they finally start hitting the road.
I think the stainless steel is cool after seeing so many rusted out trucks, but I think the Rivian and Lightning boast similar rustproof-ness with all their modern aluminum panels, really they are all so similar so the only thing that would hype me up over a Rivian would be if the plaid is actually that much faster, but at that point if you want speed get a model S plaid, and if you need a family hauler that fast get a model X plaid
How is smashing a piece of stainless steel that's been cooled using liquid nitrogen not hyperbole?
I love how down to earth Zach is as a creator, not feeding into the hype and calling out the missteps while still admitting that the product is somewhat cool. Reminds me of LTT in a lot of ways, more creators should follow in these footsteps
It's nice to see a video of this thing without someone gushing about it. I've seen people having the best day of their entire life with this truck.
funny how youtube works, i get recommended mostly negatively titled vids * not talking about last weeks developments.
Because it's hardly a truck 😂
lol I love how he left that cliffhanger question about a Cybertruck missing a battery 😂
My brain completely gasped at the horrific thought of bringing a hammer to bear against a calibrated optical table, then my brain caught up and realized it was a welding table 😂. But definitely love the truck, i like to think of it as a Honda Ridgeline with everything cranked up to 11, and i truly loved my Ridgeline.
I'd still be pretty irate if that was my fixture table. Flatness still matters, and dents can throw parts out of spec.
Guy who did segmentation for this has done great job. Thanks for saving us for all that bs
1:10 epic troll 😅
will be interesting to see how price hold up for used ones, since it packs 8 Powerwall worth of batteries
@8:04 I believe that box is to keep the design. Triangular/rectangular.
I hope they took other advantages(more battery) if that is the case because of aerodynamics. It must be filled with something or else I see it having similar effects of a trunk with the tailgate closed and naturally responding like a parachute, reducing miles.
My comment above - The box has to do with the aero. The cybertruck mimics the McLaren Speedtail. There is a video about this. IMO, this is the most crazy design. It's highly aero-efficient. The box creates a low pressure underneath like an F1 car. A diffuser effect, thus creating an invisible "tail" like the McLaren Speedtail. Unreal innovation.
You never saw Mythbusters I suppose!
I appreciate your dedication to truth over hype.
2:32 steel is steel, and steel breaks (when subjected to liquid nitrogen temps).
"steel shatters like glass" _performs a fucking hulk smash on it with a hammer_
Usually people go crazy for a nicely designed vehicle, but for a brick, there's nothing about it that you can say that's great except the tech and idea behind it,
3 years to ramp up production, increase panel gaps, reduce build quality, and lengthen repair turnarounds.
I still remember how disappointing it was to step into my mom's "refreshed" blue model S self driving (she had one of the first few hundred original red S's off the line). Her original S was built like a tank, looked and felt like a Merc.
Now her interior paneling wont stay affixed regardless of how many times she brings it in. Panel gaps like the bering straight, and overall her panels feel like they're shit. Im sure some of this was done for range, but idk why someone would get an S over a 3 nowaday, the S used to be a luxury car, but no more.
Rode in the new S again this weekend. Rear window seals are failing, and her phone voice commands don't work reliably on the highway unless she smacks her horn.
@@SeanQuinn4 xD ahahah
my biggest concern with any electric powered car is what when someone hit you or you hit other vehicle, m i going to be a roasted chicken ?
@@fpsserbia6570 it's a legitimate concern. Although I'm pretty certain the odds of vehicle fire occurring with an accident are similar between electric vs ICE, the difference comes with putting the fire out. Fuel is very combustible whether it's chemical energy or potential.
@@SeanQuinn4 if they are using lithium batteries any damage of the batterie would be fatal if it is raining on top of that, well let hope you have a good reflexes
the difference is that fuel tank would leak out of the vehicle and fall to the ground still burns but EW burn like you are at the gates of hell, the speed of burning is insane, i watched a video where half of the bus was in flames under 4 seconds
i think they need a blow out panels and extra armor for the battery or system for putting out fire like in tanks
@@fpsserbia6570 oh 100%, battery fires are often catastrophic&ramp out of control quickly.
My only point was statistical frequency+trend of vehicle fires in general and the comparison of frequency+trend w/ EV vs ICE. I'm not sure of the exact numbers, but I don't think vehicle fire odds increase by a margin with EV vs ICE, thanks to engineering+ safety regs.
Lithium is still a firefighting nightmare and very real risk to consider. Seems like that has been the main focus for EV fire safety, get the hell away from these volatile chemicals. Lots of research in silicon and carbon from what I know.
0:15 1 cybertruck = 1 wife + 2 kids 😅
Llol
3:31 This is in fact a good point. What would poor me do without a cyber truck when I’m driving through the cold, inhospitable environment of the outer space.
Jerry is the definition of 'Tough but fair'
Hey Jerry, love your videos, very educational & therapeutic. The 9.6kW hours you mentioned isn't power, it's energy (but you know that already). I think you meant power - 9.6kW would be 40A at 240V, which is what a heavy-duty welder might draw. Is there an energy cap, using it to power your house for example could result in the car running flat and being unusable
These EVs surely could come with a generator.
You can use gasoline to charge the battery and use the electricity for some things. It would be a nice way to have it in an emergency, even for the battery itself.
If I were on the road with a cybertruck near me, I would actively try to keep myself distant from it as much as possible
This makes me want one even more. Not some macho thing, I just hate when people feel the need to be right up other peoples tail pipe on the highway. Just a couple days ago I saw two cars get into a fender bender which wasn't the end of the world, but the dude in his lifted truck behind them who was riding their tailpipe too close to stop safety plowed through both of the cars, turning it into a real bad day for all involved. Give people some space and keep yourself safe.
@@TheSpongiform Wouldn't want to be in an accident with one of those. How would first responders get you out in case of a wreck? Does it even have a crumple zone?
Thank you
@@TheSpongiform You'd want a cybertruck because it's so unsafe people around you avoid it? Right.
you're putting out content like a maniac. Can't wait to see more!
Slow down your gonna make him bust in your mouth
Well it is December, best ad revenue
It's a great idea hammering on the table having that liquid nitrogen in an open bottle such close...good job!
it will be nice to see you schaching the windows of the cybertruck in your durability tests
How is it ahead of gas trucks when it doesn't do any of the things you would want a truck for?
You say that like 95% of trucks on the road are doing anything else than act like Karen & Kyle's grocery getter
@@coolenick0 a lot of people own truck for the 20 days a year they need it, but drive it every time because they don´t want to buy second car.
@@marekhlavackovi3677a tiny minority of ppl probably. Most pol buying a truck won't actually use it as a truck. And i would wager that someone that's spending 80k on an electric truck already has another vehicle
I love Jerry's assessments on everything , a real straight shooter
This was a lot more balanced than his take shown at the event, but I can understand the being bummed when Tesla was against the concept car vs real world car watering down in the past.
That’s fine and all, but his name is still Zach
I know a lot of guys here in Germany who preordered one.
Will be a funny wake-up call when they arrive and are not allowed to drive them on German streets, as Steer-by-wire is only legal if it is as failsafe as a normal stering, same goes for brake-by-wire and the whole chassis is also not safe for pedestrians.
Now I know some dudes who just lost 80k, because they were not able to research into the things they are going to buy.
Glad you’re still getting one man, cant wait to see your opinion on it after you’ve owned it for a few months 😄
It’s only available in the USA because it wouldn’t pass U.K. passenger safety laws and I’d hate to think what European NCAP Rating it would get if it was available over in the U.K./Europe
I think you meant pedestrian safety rules. But yeah, never gonna be in Europe.
Only Americans could like a vehicle design like that.Mad as hatters 🤣
The car is absolutely massive too. It simply wouldn't fit on our roads.
True, Teslas will never be allowed to drive in Europe.
With these newfangled battery thingies instead of true and trusted Diesel,
with touchscreens that kill passengers in a crash,
with yoke instead of a real wheel
and with the same front as other trucks instead of a sedan front.
I wonder if it would pass TÜV
I see the sloped sides as one of the biggest downsides. I would say 70% of the time I'm taking something out of or putting something into the bed of a truck, its over the sides. I've never understood this design. I've always had this complaint about the Ridgeline, and this is so much worse than that.
It's because Elon Musk doesn't know what a truck is for; he's never used one
It’s for aero dynamics which greatly effects range and steep edge of the roof dropping off to the bed on a truck creates a low pressure air pocket behind the glass which drags the car back which would reduce range or require more batteries per truck which is a big factor in cost
Its because of its unibody design, without the high sides, the chassis wouldnt be stiff enough.
@@justsomerandomcanadian9935and yet still the revian is more aerodynamic
@@conroyboothe9616stop lying bro 😂
Once the Lightning comes standard with the NACS plug it will be my truck of choice.
What makes you say at 7:56 that those electric trucks are miles ahead of their gas powered counter parts? Sure, I can see how there are some perks to an electric truck, but there are also perks ( if not more ) to a gas or diesel truck.
I always love the videos, and these all electric light duty trucks definitely have their use. The ability for some of these to operate has a hlwhoke house back up, charging station, etc... is amazing. But to say they're better than any other truck out on the market is just simply silly. For your usage, sure, but for others, absolutely not. Maybe one day.
People say Tesla is the best car or truck that will ever be made in the history of the world.
Is this the same person who said Cybertruck is garbage? Internet never forgets.
well it is garbage, a truck bed that you cant use if you want to carry a spare tire and one that cant be filled properly with skid steering loaders lol just lol
Most of this video is Jerry talking into the camera. I assumed that a video of the Cybertruck would show, well, the truck. But the info that Jerry gives about the truck is useful and in plain English.
I found his videos insufferable because. he. talks. so. slow. and. stares. at. camera. like. he. is. on. Prozac. But then I turned the playback speed to 1.25 and he talks normally and now I actually like his videos a lot! Not kidding. Hey, I've got my own faults and I wish they were as easy to fix as somebody just toggling a single setting. Not really hating, just spreading the pro tip for anybody else that finds he talks to us like we are 4 years old.
This is the most impressive review yet. *MASSIVE* props, Zack. You're the only person that's actually managed to get their hands on Tesla parts, go inside the Gigafactory and do a detailed breakdown of it rather than just sitting in it and saying it's cool to drive.
Watch the Hagerty review and then their Carmudgeon podcast. Between those two videos they go more in depth than anybody I’ve seen into the engineering, and have some unique behind the scenes footage too
@@ninuvids both excellent recomendations as I've watched both those videos several times now! 👍🏻😎
