Tesla Cybertruck was a REALLY BAD idea...

- In recent days, Tesla has left the world speculating about the long-awaited Cybertruck. On October 20, a "leaked" video on Twitter showcased the Cybertruck cruising on a highway, bearing dents from a simulated machine gun test. Later, on October 31, Joe Rogan took a shot at the Cybertruck, attempting to pierce its door trim with a powerful bow - spoiler alert: he didn't succeed.
Tesla's promotional tactics are raising eyebrows, as they gear up for the release of their first electric pickup truck. Despite a surge in pre-orders, many potential buyers have grown impatient with the prolonged delays.
The most recent mass cancellations came after leaked Tesla documents hinted at issues with the Cybertruck. Experts argue that these issues are routine mechanical engineering problems that most automakers have already tackled.
Tesla's last new model was introduced in 2020, and critics suggest that the company lags behind competitors who are aggressively developing electric vehicles. Most automakers refresh their lineup within three to five years, whereas the Tesla Model S has been around for more than a decade. As other companies plan to release dozens of new models, Tesla's ability to deliver the Cybertruck still hangs in the balance.
Is the Cybertruck merely a marketing ploy? It boasts impressive specs, but practical issues have emerged, including handling problems during pre-production testing. Tesla's innovative features, like bulletproofing, have raised questions about their true value.
Tesla's unique manufacturing methods, relying on an exoskeleton rather than an endoskeleton, have created production challenges. The angular stainless steel design, while visually striking, may also make repairs difficult and pose potential safety concerns.
Torsional stiffness, a crucial factor in vehicle stability, has been a concern, and rectifying it could compromise the Cybertruck's design.
Tesla's entry into the truck market faces stiff competition from established manufacturers with decades of experience. While Tesla promises impressive specs, it needs to source or engineer many parts from scratch, a disadvantage compared to competitors like Ford's F-150 Lightning.
In conclusion, manufacturing the Cybertruck is a complex and costly endeavor. The decision to invest in this electric truck should be made thoughtfully. Is it just a marketing gimmick, or does it truly represent a leap in automotive innovation? The answer may lie in the details uncovered in this video.

The answer to oversized inefficient gas cars isn't oversized inefficient electric cars. Gotta shrink our big ole vanity machines.

Great answer, you've got the point!
i suspect you haven't thought about this theory thoroughly. have you moved from one home to another and had to ask someone with a truck to help you out? has your refrigerator and pantry been depleted and an expensive trip to the grocery store been necessary? have you had to go to the hardware store to pick up wood or sheetrock for a small building project. have you ever taken a family trip? all these things require something out of a vehicle. think about what that could be. is it vain to be prepared for the unexpected? no accusations, just asking you to consider a different perspective is all.
@@SneakySolidSnake I have. I've worked in construction part time, and through highschool would help my father rebuild trucks and vans he liked to resell. I quite like trucks and large vehicles to do their job. But at the end of the day, I could do (almost)everything I did in those vehicles in a little micro car with a small trailer. I've also hauled washing machines with a prius. You'd be surprised how much space you actually need for hauling individual appliances. But I will admit that moving, towing vehicles, and moving mulch/dirt/gravel are jobs better suited for large vehicles like vans and trucks. BUT unless you move truck only objects like this more than once every two months it's definetly more efficient for you and the world to rent big vehicles when you need them. Because 99% of journies people make can be done in something smaller. Smaller cars save on electricity/gas, make less road noise from tire friction, deteriorate roadways at a hugely lower rate (there have been many studies about road damage and vehicle weight), are easier to park, less dangerous for pedestrians, cheaper to make/purchase, and more than all of that (and completely in my opinion) big trucks and suv's make you look like a dickhead. Little cars are adorable and make you shmile. I ride a seated scooter (roadrunner pro) most places. My subaru forester still gets a lot of love though, can't go out with friends on a scooter.
keep in mind, if you work using your vehicles, I have nothing against your ownership of one. I just don't see a future in mass market trucks and vans, when they're most definetly specialty vehicles. Most people would be better off with a little hatch back.
@SneakySolidSnake you use a cube truck to move houses, in that case a uhaul can suffice. You don't need a pickup truck to buy groceries. If you take a family trip you can always rent a car for that specific occasion. It's not necessary to own a pickup truck for most people, they just buy them because they like them.
They should make an all aluminum non-bullet proof cybertruck. That would probably shave off 1000lbs. 😂
We learned a lot when DeLorean tried stainless. It made the car heaver - when it was underpowered to start with. Dents are hard (time consuming) to repair and if you use cheaper stainless (hello, Tesla), it can (will) have rust patches. Honestly, Saturn did it right with a traditional frame and then the plastic body panels. What works in the off road Baja trucks? Use what's already been tested under the hardest conditions instead of inflicting your customers with a test. If you wanted to make plastic Saturn-llike body panels them stronger, just use kevlar backing in strategic places or in stiffening strips glued to the panels. Oh, and the Cyber-Suck looks like ass. And not good ass either.
The entire reason for the cybertruck was an excuse to produce the stainless required for starship. Scales of economy. Single batches for the rocket was too expensive.
@@ibsn87sounds like cope.
@@Daboy804 sounds dope to me. Horses for courses mate. A car that doesn’t get covered in door dents, and doesn’t get scratched when you brush a tree or the kids drive a 12v car down the side of it. No paint fading and flaking. No clear coat failing from years in the sun. Not one dent after 10 years suits me.
And if it helps build the most badass rocket in the world I’m still ok with it 🤷🏼♂️ stick to your f-150 I guess, they are unique. Powerful, great turning circle, great handling for its size, and quick AF, more ridgid chassis then a Porsche, rear wheel steering, super connected with a powerful app that allows you do manipulate most controls remotely, 48v steer by wire low voltage eco system, safe as fuck…… cough* sorry it’s none of that.
@@ibsn87 Such nonsense. the price of a rocket is irrelevant. When a single satellite costs 4 BILLION to manufacture, it literally does not matter whether the launch costs 10 million more or less - literally nobody cares.

Missing the entire point. The idea was to be a platform to introduce innovative tech while grabbing attention. 48 volt tech, steer by wire, larger castings and others. Is everything innovative going to be perfect and used going forward, hell no that’s not how taking innovation risks works. To take pot shots at risk takers that blaze trails for others is just a jack ass. Yes, the author is just a pot shot jerk as taking innovative risks will not be perfect but doesn’t mean people should never try. Do you hate those that try or just think you are too awesome to ever guess wrong when trying something new?

That actually makes more sense than surrendering your weapons to Biden or Trump.
It also didn’t end up with an exoskeleton. It has a chassis like all other trucks.
It s doesn t have only an exoskeleton. It is an exoskeleton as the bodypannels carry weight.
It is a partial exoskeleton. There is a gigacast frame, but the stainless steel panels do some load bearing. If you look at the side impact crash test show in Jason Cammisa's review, they explained that they didn't need to add bracing to the doors, because the impact is handled by the stainless steel panels. The B pillar gets its strength from both the internal frame and the outer stainless steel panels.
It isn't purely* an exoskeleton. The body in white adds structural rigidity to the vehicle. Therefore, an exoskeleton. It also has a structural battery pack. It manages to be lighter than the Rivian R1T while clearly being the larger vehicle, so that's something.
And now both gm and ford are curtailing production because of declining sales and huge losses per vehicle sold. So much for manufacturing experience
@@kenvaux1 I never undertood that. They have been doing manufacturing the same way for 100 years! They clearly suck at it or thehy would have innovate right?
The Cybertruck body looks like it was designed by a 5 year old with crayons....

Off course elon design this when he was five
Or some antediluvian throwback using 2D MS Paint rather than 3D AutoCAD.

being bullet proof is looking more and more like a plus every day

@@kongchen3122 Not likely, but ceramics might work
Ya fair points to all of that but id say solving hard engineering problems is something America has gotten away from and is something we need to do more of.
The clip of it pulling the Ford looked manipulated. The cybertruck started first, and the Ford didn't start until it was already being pulled. In a fair test, they would have pulled out the slack, both stopped...and THEN started at the same time. I would love to get a close up look at that Fords treads also, and see this test done by an independent person.
Very true, but solve problems that matter. Don't engage in solutionism.
The Cybertruck has been in development for four years now and still isn’t in production except for some custom made models and according to this video still has major issues. Elon Musk has also made negative remarks about the Cybertruck so I really wonder if it will ever be produced in any significant quantities.

Being bullet proof seems strange, but I think it's a demonstration of toughness more than anything. At job sites things get dropped on trucks, thrown in the bed, etc having metal that is less likely to dent is nice, having metal that can't rust is fantastic.
It just means that you don’t have to worry about door dings as I have to with my new dodge. I don’t think they really expect people to need protection from actual bullets. But I think it’s awesome!
Have you been to some of the cities in the US? Lol bulletproof is a must.
As a Memphis resident, bullet proof is now a feature I’ll be looking for.
imagine thinking this thing would ever be taken to a job site
@@dave997 no reason it wouldn't be.
I always wondered, from the very start of the announcement of the truck: what do emergency services say to those "safety measures"? Must be pretty hard to rescue someone out of such a safe.
That's a really great point. It would be interesting to see a "jaws of life" demonstration on this vehicle.
I'm not too worried about that. The panels are "bullet proof" but the EMS doesn't have to cut through those, they cut the styles that hold up the roof, and those are quite thin. As for the doors; again they are coated with bulletproof metal but the hinges etc won't be that much stronger than tin a regular truck so if they can get in between the door and the chassis, that door is popping right off.
I'm more worried about how bystanders are going to do anything if your doors only open electronically, the windows are unbreakable and your battery catches fire.
For that matter; how are you going to replace a tyre on a machine that weighs 3,.5tonns? Call a towing company and ask them to bring their semi-truck lifter?
@@vinny142 One would hope that if Ford can design an emergency jack to lift the Lightning then surely Tesla should be able to do the same.

The thing about bullet proof windows isnt that its not useful, its just straight up unsafe. Imagine being stuck in the truck with the door stuck. If the window is bullet proof, you would be able to break it and get out.

By all accounts the Rivian is a better EV truck. This is just a health dose of scepticism and realism. And this truck just looks like crap. Elon isn’t some genius and this could be one of his many blunders.
The whole point of this was an exercise in manufacturing.
How do you make a truck stronger. More durable. Rust resistant. Simpler. Still "cool" and "futuristic".
Stainless steel stamped body panels with straight edges. Like a DeLoren...
Musk knows marketing. Everyone associates DeLoreans with "The Future" and Musk is a MARKETING genius who can also deliver approximately what he is selling in a reasonable amount of time. Most marketers flop and never deliver anything in a lifetime.
Then good for him. He should have made a lot of money then

One accident and you'll be out $50,000 for body repairs.... Lol. Just look at the repair cost of a Rivian. And a Rivian is much more standard design which a typical body shop should be able to fix, but good luck finding a body shop that actually will work on it. And when you find a shop, you get an estimate back that basically tells you "$45,000. Ie, get this hunk of junk off my lot"
Factor in inflation.
Cars when they first can came was average $1,000 . Colored tube tv’s in the 1950’s $1,000, the price of the first cell phone was $4,000
and how much you think of anyone broke , would they have to buy a new one or repair???

Tesla “recalls” are fixed by software updates before NHTSA have even typed out letters to customers.
5:10 Not entirely true. Look at the motorsport industry. We have been adding stiffness and removing weight at the same time for decades, however it too has tradeoffs with "NVH". the claim about a body being too stiff and understeering is nonsense, the suspension is what "handles" that. The torsional body stiffness is a very tiny minute thing in turning. The body having proper energy transfer and crash performance however is another beast all together.
Most pick ups rely on a frame still for an reason.
They are looong as cars go. And if you use them not only in the city but for real work you want to be able to remove the bed and build something else on it.
I have no doubt that like every other new car the tesla box will outgrow its teething phase, but it is designed for city cowboys, it is a toy by design.

I'm a Manufacturing engineer and I think the casual observer would be surprised how many "basic" problems there are on a product as it's getting ready for mass production.
There are a lot of eyes on Tesla, and other manufacturers typically use mules and hide their pre-production prototypes.
So, I would not make that conclusion in 2023.

There's no reason they can't have crumple zones like any other vehicle, they just need to make the front and rear panels a bit thinner and they'll crumple like any other vehicle. The sides being crumple resistant is actually a really good safety feature since getting t-boned is usually deadly, and in a vehicle with really stiff side panels, there are side airbags but they only help you if you haven't already been crushed by a crumpling door.

@@booobtooober Reading comprehension is a skill.
As a Mechanical Engineer myself, I agree completely with your statement. Furthermore, it makes no sense to make the quarter panels super thick as it will only add weight without a safety benefit. The truck being less than 7,000 pounds proves it’s not actually built like a tank, but the doors might be.
@@mylesgray3470 If they manage under 7k lbs, that would put it about in the middle of the weight range of the variants of the Ford F250, which would be incredible for an electric truck
Problem with the sides being so tough is that after an accident, firefighters/first responders will have a hard time getting you out of the car if you are shut in.
Growing demand? I don't think so. Figures in the UK show an actual decline in the pick up of private EV sales by 8.1%.
In the USA car manufacturers are dumping EV's because of extremely low sales and pursuing Hydrogen instead! Nothing wrong with pure good OL gas vehicles!

Totally wrong. It may still be called the Model S but it is nothing like the one from 10 years ago. The Model S had a major refresh in 2021 with release of the Plaid. F & R tracks are wider which required new suspension and fenders (guards) all round. The front bumper/splitter and rear diffuser, trunk lid and tail lights are all new. The interior is all new with the main screen now landscape and pivoting along with the addition of a screen for rear passengers. And of course the Plaid has dual rear motors with torque vectoring and it is the quickest and fastest production car on the planet.

$200m just from the pre-order deposits so far. People are lining up to wait years for their truck. We'll probably see a Cybertruck south pole expedition and idiots will say "yeah but, derp, it ain't look good on snow and stuff, derp".

Tesla stock dipped severally , resulting to about 23% drop in the shares value this month. I seriously need suggestions on how to diversify my $400k portfolio made up of volatile TSLA.
Safest approach i feel to tackle it is to diversify investments. By spreading investments across different asset classes, like bonds, real estate, and international stocks, they can reduce the impact of a market meltdown. its important to seek the guidance of an expert

As soon as I saw the truck I knew that it would be Great Mistake 😂😂😂
Depends on what you call a mistake. If it's the design, that's just an opinion. I sure didn't like the design when it was first released in 2019.
Tesla Cybertruck is going to be a massive hit.

Correction: It is not the first electric pick up. It was RIVIAN.
Yep. But it is first of it kind where the exoskeleton is the main frame.
@@tgsoon2002 I apologize for any confusion, but my focus is solely on correcting the statement regarding his statement about the Cybertruck being the first electric pickup. That's the specific point I'm addressing here. The exoskeleton discussion is a separate matter and not related to the current topic.
"Walker Electric Trucks were battery-powered vehicles built from 1907 to 1942 in Chicago, Illinois and Detroit, Michigan. Initially designed and manufactured by the Walker Vehicle Company (not to be confused with the Walker Motor Car Company) in Chicago, they were bought by the Anderson Electric Car Company of Detroit in 1916, then sold to Commonwealth Edison of Chicago in 1920, and last to York & Towne in 1933." --Wiki
"first"?
@@royjohnson366 well, if you want to talk about “first”, then you may want to keep researching. Walker Electric Trucks were not the first electric trucks. Electric vehicles, including trucks, have a long history dating back to the late 19th and early 20th centuries. So, let’s just stick to the year 2019 to present 🤣🤣🤣, since some folks are saying that cybertrucks are the “first” electric trucks when they announced it in 2019.
Not even tge second one either. The Ford F-150 Lightning came out after the Rivian.
“…..it’s first electric pick up truck on store shelves.”
😂😂😂
Yeah… Because that is the way “Stores” sell vehicles. Off of SHELVES.
“High head toss acceleration” is NOT a downside.
Why is it bulletproof if the tires are rubber 😂

3. Engineers tell Elon it's impractical and stupid
4. Elon says do it anyway.
@TalesOfWar yeah, that sounds about right but you're forgetting the best part

6. Engineers say it'll probably cost less than that.
7. Elon says spend it anyway
8. ''And don't forget to polish those class B surfaces.''
Beyond your understanding clearly. There is a reason why you aren't the richest man on the world and he is.
I call it CyberSuck for a reason. My cousin had a great name for it too. Are you sitting down? Ready? Cyber… Stuck.
He totally wins on that front.
this is what you get when you don't hire experts engineers who have been in the industry for 30 years
How's this a good thing when Audi announces to have 20 new EV models hit the market by 2026? How will EVs become affordable if you have so much variants that you have to have different kind of tools during production that the processes will get more complex and suppliers ask for higher prices due to smaller lot sizes?
People too often mistake the amount of variants for being something positive while the total output of cars and the cost of that is more important..
The ev market will be dead by then
Isn't that F-150 rated 4/100 for reliability?
510,000 miles on my GMC. I will stick with it .Original engine.

There's a reason people in the trade call them "Palo Alto Unicorns"
I wonder how much they will to insure. I can see minor accidents being very expensive to repair ie the person who hits the post pulling into a right parking garage. That's going to cost a lot to repair minor damage with those panels.
and any small dent or mark is going to stick out massively (embarrassingly)
It's not going to be an easy repair for even the best crash shops so you might struggle to get it repaired outside of the big cities in north America
This thing is a body shop's nightmare.
@@user-cx4ll4rj1tWhat kind of snowflake cares about small dents on his stainless steel truck's body?
Small damage would be close to a write off, don't forget the undercarriage is batteries. Country like Australia you couldn't get insurance, but that dosent matter because it won't be sold her because of failing safety tests.
Good !!!.
Its a minimalistic truck every boy dreams of the only problem would be range
Everyone knows the cyber truck is known globally as the drug runner truck
People bought hummer H1's because they like them. Even with the quarks.

Acceleration has never killed anyone.
I never understood the "wow, 100km/hr in 3 seconds". How is that beneficial? 🤔
@@hydrohasspoken6227 Tell me your not into cars without telling me your not into cars.. If you have to ask why its beneficial to have a powerful vehicle any answer I give you wont understand or relate to either.
Im guessing you dont drive or if you do youve never been over highway speeds? Having power isnt just about going fast - its the ability to get out of the way quickly and avoid accidents or merge onto the highway without a semi up your behind. Dont conflate speed with acceleration. Also, just because a vehicle is capable of that kind of velocity doesnt mean it needs to be operated in that manner at all times.
Why does having something have to have a benefit? What about just the thrill of it? Not everything has to have some positive impact in your life or those around you outside of being enjoyable in and of itself.
Acceleration and speed don’t kill people. Stupid drivers kill people.
as opposed to?

It will like need to be painted obligatory. No way these large flat surfaces won't work as mirrors. Not to forget that these flat surfaces will always look dirty.
why does the pull test go to the rear wheels as soon as it starts ? was the non tesla truck only in 2WD ?
The pull test is more likely just showing that the Cybertruck is heavier. I suspect Elon doesn't know how sliding friction vs rolling friction works either...

Maybe look before walking in front of fast moving vehicles, how can it be more dangerous for pedestrians, regular car kills just as fast and you can only die once. As for people who want to use it for a battering ram that's just the person, they can always get weapons.
@@steveherjon9775 brain rot individualism
Much like Elon, they designed it to prioritize being a tool, and anyone too poor to afford it can go f*ck themselves. Can't bother worrying about people who just want to walk across a street without being killed

Teslainvestors defending a shitbox so unsafe it doesn't even make it to Europa and parts of asia. Lmfao

They forgot to smooth subdivide its surface on any 3d modeling program they used to make it.
I’m 64 years old. CyberTruck is the ugliest vehicle ever produced for sale. Thats enough to take it off my list.
I believe it being bullet proof is a result of its strength and not a goal
You are right, they designed a next generation exoskeleton chassis for the safety advantages, and it being bulletproof was incidental and good for marketing. People are hating on the Cybertruck not because it does anything wrong, but because they are attacking anything associated with Elon Musk for political reasons.
@@BoopSnoot Yup, bunch of people don't like Elon for silly reasons, because they see and watch media that creates drama on purpose for clickbaiting if not purposeful hate raising, and it is usually media that is being paid by some of the high seat democrat party members, as usually it is with such cases, when a pro free speech, pro life, pro peace person doesn't want to play by their rules, the same with the Starlink network being denied to U.S. government to be implemented for Russo-Ukrainian war. Or on Twitter removing free-ticket for politicians and federal government to roam and do what they please with twitter before Elon purchased it.
So they use every con side of what he does and do not promote any pro side of it, to make public think that his actions turn everything for worse.
@@BoopSnoot attacking anything associated with Elon Musk for political reasons yeah right let's forget car is completely useless, who needs bulletproof car that sacrifices everything to be bulletproof you try to protect gangs or something?
so what if you decide to not obey climate lockdowns and the government shoots you for going into an area THEY dont want you to, ever think of that? of course not you are an npc
I like how the truck looks but dont think they should have released the truck yet. It does have problems, they should have pushed release back
Like it or not. Someone had to have the balls to take things to the next level. This is how things evolve.

The list of “problems” with CT are exactly what you’d expect for a new design undergoing development.
It took 4 years because Tesla had to get it right. 4 million pre orders shows that A LOT of people trust Tesla to get it right in the end.
Exactly what I’m saying
People believe in Tesla because they don't realize that the Model S, X, 3, and Y were all the product of Martin Eberhard's original master plan. Meanwhile FSD, Falcon Wing doors, the CT, Roadster II, and Semi are all Elon being unhinged. It's going to take a few more years for people to catch up with this understanding, but the CT is just the beginning of everything at Tesla going off the rails. Just like what Elon is doing to Twitter.
2 million? But yes.
They have 10 ready to go... all probably to staff... how long will it be for everyone who ordered one to get one. Even tesla said these are extremely slow to make.
The sharp edges immediately stand out to me. What about pedestrians? Even at low speeds, an impact would be deadly. What kind of sociopath would design such a machine for general road use?
dude... ped hits dont happen very often, and if they do, they are already causing death most of the time with any vehicle. On top of that you could argue that that shape and toughness will result in less vehicle movement after an accident, and most ped hits happen in intersections when a car gets tboned and carries into ped walkways that are currently green with peds in them, it could be argued the well made tank like trunk will move less and carry into ped lanes less often after serious accidents.... so if I play your same hypothetical game, it could potentially save lives.
