Agreed. The lights alone aren't aimed towards the road to limit the lights being blasted into people's faces. At its size, that thing is blinding literally everyone on the road. And did you see the drivers field of view from inside of that thing? That is definitely one of the worst I've seen.

@@ericaschner3283 I would really struggle to own anything else. I have a nissan inbound from Japan currently and even that I think will be an eye openered compared to the kaizan approach of toyota (improve and refactor, improve and refactor, which is why they are so incredibly well build and also reliable and simple). I genuinely do not think I could every own a Tesla for the shear fact that they are simply badly built (forgetting the fact they have no soul, but that's more subjective lol)
Nissan has been garbage since the Renault thing in 2001. Sad, I was a Nissan kid and loved all their sports cars. I’m a Toyota fan now, just a 2012 highlander limited with 230,000 miles and everything on it works, the light for the gear shifter indicator went out though, so I’ll add $2 into my maintenance expenses 😂
@@BySixaIs the Landcruiser 70 series available where you live? That thing has legendary reliability (probably due to how basic it is). It's the go-to vehicle for the Australian outback and farms, where it's expected to travel hundreds of thousands of kilometres throughout its life in the middle of absolutely nowhere. It's so popular that the new model has a waiting time of up to 24 months.
You don’t mess with geese. They are aggressive birds. I once was got chased out of a park by a family of geese. they kept following me around and honking at me.
I'm glad some countries are making physical buttons and nobs mandatory for certain functions. Screens are dangerous when you have to look away from the road.
Australia and Europe ( ancap and ncap). Key functions will need to be physical controls to get a 5 star safety rating. These include indicators, hazard lights, horns, warning lights, windscreen wipers, and emergency 'SOS' features.
One thing that stood out when opening the door is that the easy way to open it requires you to grab weather stripping. I can’t see that lasting long and creating tones of wind noise. Among all the over minimalist stuff like climate controls harder to find/use, the horrible blind spots and wiper. Minimalist doesn’t mean better
their competition with all the bells and whistles loose money on every sale. Better to cut out less important features and be able to stay in business.
Part of cutting cost is not simple material cost, it's development. For example putting a rear camera feed onto the rear view mirror... If you work through every bit of custom electronics and software added, it's more engineering that adds up as you capture every bell and whistle that real modern cars have
Someone likely broke the door after delivery Edit: Elon confirmed on X that 15 Cybertrucks are affected by this, it is a door latch that have not been properly fastened from factory. It comes loose after driving so there would be no problem at the service center. THIS IS NOT A PANEL GAP 🤷♂️
Tesla has you make note of defects and then you schedule a trip to the service center after delivery. So they either haven't scheduled it, accepted it as is, or it broke after delivery.
I've seen a lot of Cybertruck reviews by now and what stands out to me is that Tesla had an idea, with a specific design, which they stubbornly stuck with regardless of all the practical obstacles they encountered during development. Things we take for granted in other cars like efficiency of windshield wipers, the need for physical buttons and a freaking door handle. Or even the shape of the front. That vertical, huge flat slab of metal on the front of the Cybertruck is gonna have a lot of small dents from road pebbles.
It’s not that Tesla and its talented engineers had an idea, but that Elon had an idea and even the best efforts of the engineers to make it work left gaping compromises that couldn’t be smoothed over
It's not been a moth that a freaking billionaire drowned inside a Tesla that went into 6ft of water As soon as the eletronics in that car died she was inside a metal coffin In no serious country that would fly A billionaire died for fucks sake, that's the only class of people the US seems to care about
Got to love a review on a truck without ever mentioning a single thing that would make it useable as a truck. Owners of electric trucks usually have not owned trucks before and it shows. And I love when he praised the 240V port because you can charge another car and then immediately transitions to how terrible the battery range is. 😂 Who's going to charge you?
He specifically mentioned how Truck owners dont really do Truck things and how the Cybertruck uses that knowledge of the market by not actually being excellent for "trucky" activities. Are you really that bad at paying attention? If people buy trucks because they want to compensate for small genitals, rather than for wanting to do "trucky" things, thats not Teslas fault.
Lets be fair there are some practical electric trucks like rivian though theyre expensive. I think elon and his aesthetics designers are just morons and so are their customers.
@@--SPQR--It took tesla over a year to not fix the rear lights on my model S filling with water whenever it rained. in the end I just gave up. I wish that had been the only problem with it but it was by far the worst car I've owned since I was driving around shitboxes as a kid and it was worse than quite a few of those.
elon so smart he gives all of us peons a new feature called removing the spare tire. "just get rid of it, none of my rich friends have ever needed one of these before, who has ever had to change a tire? i'm seriously so smart."
I mean.. People buy and love their Ferraris and Aston Martins. They're not very well build, but they are full of emotion and that's why you buy them. So is Tesla. It's not the build quality, the materials or the materials, but it's all about the gimmick. About the car that was drawn by a child, but that will give you childlike joy.
@@EUCKid I don't know. But if you have som much money to spend, than sometimes you want to be extra with it. You could easily buy a german engineered car like an Audi S8, BMW M8, a C63 AMG or a 911 GTS, and those cars are well build, great quality, but it sometimes lacks the extravagance. It lacks the x factor, the je ne sais qoui, that comes with the other "imperfect" brands. People love a good Rolex yet it is totally acceptable that it doesn't have the most precise clockwork out there. You could get a better product with a good old G-Shock, but it's not what most people look for. And Tesla has beclem such a brand that has its crazy fellowship that would defend it to death, just like Apple to name another american overhyped brand. In the end, it's just important to know what you're in for. If I buy Ducati than I will get one of the best looking, good sounding and great performing bikes in the world, that cpuld potentially break if I sneeze to hard on it. You can go with a more reliable and cheaper Honda, but where is the fun in that.
When you mentioned that most people would use this like an SUV, it made me think of my 2017 Volvo XC90 Excellence plug-in hybrid. I got it for less than the base price Cybertruck. 4 seater with front and rear heated/cooled/massaging captain's chairs. Nice, big functional center display without sacrificing all the tactile controls. AWD with adjustable suspension that climbs Colorado mountains in winter like a goat. And I've towed 5,000 lbs on multiple occasions. So congratulations Elon on delivering in 2024 what I've essentially had for 7 years. Oh, your "truck" is full electric and has a big honking wiper. So you have that.
This vehicle, as a concept, has taught me to be grateful for the big auto manufacturers and how much R&D is present in their vehicles. When someone buys a Toyota or a Ford, they don't have to worry about which parts of their vehicle design was intentional and which parts were "that would be cool" features.
not trying to defend the "philosophy" behind tesla (or any other thing controlled by elon), but car-designs are full of things that are meant to engage with our senses of asthetics, e.g. the smell, the sound of closing the doors. not saying this is analogous to every single thing tesla would call a "cool feature" of the cybertruck, but i think its worth mentioning.
To be clear, I'm not saying manufacturers like Ford or Toyota don't have their own flaws, but they've had a lot of time and money into working out the kinks. Tesla is still new in the grand scheme of things and to that end, of course they'll still have a lot of issues to work out. I imagine their production models in 10, 20, 30 years from now will be much, much better in build quality, but my criticism is more in regards to the novelty baked into the Cyber truck, things like choosing a touch screen for every interior function. Touch screens are nice, sure, but are we only doing it because "future = touch screen", or does it actually improve the ergonomic functionality for the driver? I think not, and in fact it detracts from the driver being able to make quick adjustments without taking their eyes off the road. With analog knobs and buttons, there's a potential for building muscle memory to a point where the driver can interact with the controls without ever giving it a second thought. With a touch screen, it's not impossible but significantly less intuitive. I'm not even a car person, this was just a criticism I had of the cybertruck mostly but generally Tesla as a whole.
The year is 2027. I'm careening down a hill and my brakes give out. I can see someone about to cross the street up ahead. I tell my virtual assistant to honk my horn. No response, there is no reception in the area. No biggie, I fire up the touch screen. Swipe away the software update, I can get to that later. Scroll down the menu and hit the 'honk' button. A short delay but functions perfectly. 10/10. Hats off to the developers Edit: This is meant to be a joke. I understand there is a horn on the steering wheel. It pokes fun at how so many things are moving to the touchscreen. I don't expect them to actually move the honk button to the media screen in 2027 unless they are actually insane.
It's almost enough to make me wish they were legal in my country because I would drain that everywhere I saw it as would many people now they know that. Dudes who got one of these need "I'm a d-head" tattooed on their forehead.
I’m by no means a car guy or a huge tech guy but when he said it’s “fine” multiple times about that car that’s a bummer cause for the amount it costs for it, fine shouldn’t be acceptable it’s should be incredible! That’s no shots at Marques in anyway, it’s a shot at Tesla for putting out an incomplete product and being fine with it especially for the cost. Great video man!!
@@TherapyGel exactly!! It’s like what they do with video games now. They put out an incomplete product charge u $70, and first thing when u put the game in is a huge update and even then sometimes it’s still unplayable!
Anyone that would drop a 100K for something like this isn't going to care about quality. They want to be the first in their neighborhood to have one. Tesla doesn't care because they know those people will buy it anyway and they are right.
FFS that’s NOT a “panel gap”. Talk about ignorance!! It’s simply a door catch that needs adjusting- a job than anyone can do in a minute or two with the most basic of tools.
@@donkanis6141Maybe you should check out elons history from any source besides elon. Maybe start by learning what companies he founded (none, except for the solar city scam w his brother). Or go watch one of the 100s of interviews he's given claiming we are going to be refueling on X planet, and taking family vacations to visit planets Y and Z. Physics and common sense make these claims impossible. The man he was going to put in Mars in 2021? Or the armada of 100x spacecrafts carrying 10-100 crew? Oh, dont forget the helper robot that he hyped and pumped the stock for 2 years about before bringing out a dude in a suit to dance. Space X rocket is literally incompatible with life. As in math, physics say so... ya know, stuff engineers worry about while Elon mops up credit and deflects any responsibility. He's never founded anything, certainly not tesla. He's not an engineer. He's not responsible for anything, but a handful of exceptionally dumb modifications for aesthetic reasons that ended up jacking the manufacturing costs up and often being objectively worse functionally. Then he goes out and runs his mouth promising misleading tech/features that sometimes the engineers are able to make happen, and other times (full self driving) charging for features thatll never exist. Some would say fraudulently manipulates tesla stock prices, but as long as bankers are making $ along the way he won't be held accountable.
So what Tesla has produced is a pickup that's bad at being a pickup. That bed is already small and weirdly shaped, and if you want to have a spare tire - which is definitely something a pickup should have - you have to give up part of the load capacity, and if you want to have the kind of range an internal combustion pickup can have thanks to the giant fuel tanks you can fit in one, you have to give up even more of the bed. On top of that, because it's an electric truck, it loses way more range if you hook up a trailer than you do with an IC engine; this is something all EVs suffer from, because physics, but it's still a strike against it. On top of that, you have all the Tesla design quirks that make them so awful to drive, like the utter lack of an instrument cluster or stalks on the steering column, so instead you have to look even further from the road to see even how fast you're going or how much charge you have left, and you have to navigate menus on a touchscreen to do anything.
Looks like the physical equivalent of the gaming world is with us. You buy your car in a half built state and the DLC (“door level calibration”) gets you the finished product.
Over the air updates are essentially a scam. They let manufactures ship products with missing features on the promise of adding them later, which they may or may not.
I was not prepared for how bad the fingerprints were going to be. Makes sense to anyone who has owned a stainless steel fridge, but it indeed affects the side view.
I saw another one on the road and it was even worse than this one. Stainless steal is famously impossible to keep clean, so these trucks will all look filthy unless they’re cleaned militantly.
"You just have to expect that if you get an early VIN you will have to deal with bad quality control" feels like such a cop out. Don't defend companies that can't bother to do proper quality control for a vehicle that costs 100 grand
@@arconium2571mmmm yes it’s just fine. My truck with a small bed, now has no bed as I want to drive a decent distance and not be fucked if I get a flat.
From someone with 20 years in transportation, 95% of people never touch the spare they just call a tow truck. The battery isn't needed because truck don't have as much daily mileage. Take much less time to charge than fill up a traditional tank.
The fact that they decided to put a gaming PC in the center but no dashboard or HUD in front of the driver tells you everything you need to know about this company's priorities when building anything.
The rust on the wheel hub is the same rust any vehicle with an exposed hub will have. Often before they even leave the dealer. Usually it is covered by the hun cap or center cap bit ot os still there.
so i dont mind the cybertruck aesthetics at all… i love the truck delorean look. and taste is in the eye of the beholder. what i do mind is how cheap everything looks for a luxury vehicle. if i buy an expensive car i want expensive car things. i want my panels to match. i dont want them to have spared expense on a 20$ led display. i dont want them to have neglected to test how real people would open the car and fingerprints would form or how expensive bespoke wipers dont work well on rain. i dont want a car that cant be bothered to ship me a hubcap on release. like some of it is the perils of a low vin number car… but most of it is cutting corners when the consumer is a spared no expense person…. im a spare no expense consumer for large purchases. get it right in the quality of life stuff. dont skimp on 100$ when i paid 100k.
Thats why it is shaped this way. Not for a spacy look - it is just extremely cheap to use straight metal sheets instead of giving it a detailed, curved surface. But it is still a very expensive car, just because everything is done over the touch screen - even the glove box.
When I got my original Tesla Roadster in April 2009, it too was quite the celebrity. Driving down I-5 we were spotted by a group of guys that drove orbits around us for quite a while to get pics. We always had to add "Tesla Time" to our trips because you couldn't stop anywhere without having to explain what it was.
Man you are exactly right. Almost everyone buys a truck just too look cool, not to do any actual truck stuff. All these new pick ups have a 4 food bed, that's useless for actual work.
I worked in a Vauxhall van plant for a year. If ANYONE let a van go with a panel gap like that, the whole line would of probably been fired. Thats shocking
I live about a hour from Austin and have seen 3 CTs on the road and over a dozen parked around the city. Never have I seen a panel gap like that. Part of me wants to close that door to see for myself, tho.
In Germany it would be a complete shutdown of the whole production line until it is fixed. The lack of the QM is really frightening. Where else do they accept compromises? Well not that the whole concept of this car would ever even be considered road safe anywhere in the EU.
4:07 Whoever mounted those tires didn't even try 🤣 For those who might not know, that red dot on the tire marks the heaviest spot and it is supposed to be lined up with the valve stem as that is the lightest spot on the rim. When the high spot is almost 180 degrees out like that it takes way more weight to balance. The large amount of stick on weights can actually be seen just above the valve stem.
I was walking in an outdoor mall type place (Domain in Austin) and a cyber truck drove by. I told my wife "look, the cybertruck" as another guy told his wife near us "that's the cybertruck" and 2 more feet over as we kept walking this lady told her mom "it's called the cyber truck."
My Model Y had a few quality issues as well. Not too bad. To be fair every new car I’ve owned has quality issues. My Pontiac was horrible. My Ford was poor. My new Jetta had issues as well.
@@erichannes6392 come on no german car looks like that.. we dont drive jetta where im from, those models are for the american marked... it looks like a german car that have been in a accident the only time i have seen something that was ot aligned and had gaps like this, is when cars gets in a crash even old russian cars and east block cars ar better put together i drive vw and yes i got a new screen in mine, but i could not spot the problem.. vw just told be there was a pixel fault in some of them, when the car was at service i can sell my vw for the price i gave for it, no way cybertruck owners will get that experince, when they have driven the car for some years 1 year ago i could have sold it for more the i paid for it, because vw stopped production of that model
Hearing that full self driving beta is not available/compatible is a relief. We really don't need a rigid frame vehicle covered in stainless steel death panels making dangerous maneuvers on the road and causing fatal accidents. It shouldn't see self driving until the feature is out of beta (if ever).
i think its anout time that a side light turns on, like a white LED array, whenever you activate the turning signal, it maybe turning on on the direction you're turning or both.. to help you see, the road or the condition of the road where you're turning.. it really helps, specially at total darkness conditions.. this is very useful to large vehicles like the cybertruck or F150 lightning.. gets you aware of the situation of the surrounding where you're turning...
The metal has no protective coating on it, because Elon Musk is a complete idiot. Using the car under any conditions will stain the metal. You can't even wash it like a normal car, because it will stain. Pure garbage.
I think its why MKB chose this CyberTruck instead of his. His "Beast" version was above average, but he wanted to showcase the lemons. On the plus side, Tesla service comes to you and eventually the fitment issues get worked out as production increases. Model S,X,3,Y all have problems for the first year of production.
Great job. Like someone else already mentioned, it's very disturbing that Tesla is ok with that extremely noticeable door gap on the DRIVER side on a LOW-VIN release. Not putting your best foot forward. I do love the steering features. That should be a standard feature in more vehicles. Cool seeing your vids being made in my home town of Kearny.
I just love the little touches that show you how little Tesla cares. Like the fact that you're spending nearly $100k on this thing and they couldn't be bothered to wire up another $30 screen to put the rear view in the correct place.
"you how little Tesla cares" - Teslas are the most safe veichles on the road and every time they aim to the highest score in tests. They don't care what is the minimal bar to be ok on the road. they always aim to the max. that's what they care about
@@carloorelli3538 That's a particularly hilarious comment considering the cybertruck isn't even road legal in the EU because of how UNsafe it is. For pedestrians it's a death machine and for passengers it's a death box as there's basically no crumple zones.
My Rivian is amazing. I was 1200 in line for a CT, but there is no way I would take on this thing. What this could have been with all that tech etc... What it actually is :(
Worth watching for the long run, if price through economies of scale became appealing and software updates fix these issues I could see buying. Im not crazy about the front trunk space and lack of spare tire under the vehicle but love the fold up rear seat space. In the near term hybrid vehicles will make sales for towing range and to a somewhat questionable degree offroad ability but the structural design of the cybertruck is ahead of its time so the market will eventually flip. This vehicle could be well positioned but needs a lot of refinement, I would love a roll down rear window into the bed or even better a midgate but not a deal breaker. Mostly want to see software and production improvements on the key competitive aspects that would make sales. Primarily price, software updates for range improvements, locking differential, etc. Need to nail the basics before adding the bonus features but good first run.
that front trunk though... i think Throttle House did a demo of how it can chop carrots. the doors are also sharp enough to peel them if you want, so there's that.
carrots? man, you guys will do anything to avoid the metric system jokes aside, carrots aren't known for their toughness. That doesn't sound worrying to me.
“The truck itself is a bit of a celebrity”!🤣 The serious look on Marques’s face when he said that, it’s almost like the cyber truck is a spoiled rich kid and Marques is trying to talk quietly so the truck doesn’t hear him!😂
Unfortunately this wouldn’t be allowed in UK/Europe due to safety concerns. Too many sharp edges no give on the bonnet or hood, plus it won’t fit in our tiny roads
@@tubadukIt shouldn't be legal in the US either, but here we are. Elon might be paying off or bribing NHTSA. They are already suspected of being super corrupt during the Trump admin. Which is why new truck generations are completely breaking safety design laws with their massive grills that would kill children and peds easily.
My lady and I were driving through our sleepy little Washington town, and we saw a Cybertruck in the wild. We both burst out laughing. It was entirely spontaneous. We weren't trying to be mean. I don't think either one of us thought about Elon Musk at that moment. We just saw it and we laughed. So safe to say, I guess that particular aesthetic isn't for us. There were several obvious rust spots on it. Near the door handle, now that I think about it. Which is a shame, considering the vehicle's price. I'm not clowning on your purchase decision, sir. I'm glad the Cybertruck has its highlights and good points. I'm glad you're enjoying your vehicle, overall. I'm only commenting because you asked us to share what you think of its appearance. 🙂
So what my takeaway is from this: - rusty tires - panel gaps (broken drivers' door) - loves fingerprints - If you want an extra battery and a spear tire, you lose almost all storage space. - Useless windshield wiper - Everything has to be controlled on one screen, which is complicated and dangerous. - tiny steering wheel. - bad visibility - Useless rearview mirror - useless sunshades (sun shines over them) - It can cut your fingers off. - but looks cool
@@o00nemesis00o The steering wheels is not a Tesla invention, but German cars. In Europe, almost all the 3 drive train 19 tones trucks and half of semi-trucks and some trailers also are equipped with steering wheels. Actually, Tesla didn’t create anything new on a car.
While the edges are dangerous, the main thing that kills pedestrians is hood geometry. Both hood height and flat vs sloping hood play a role. In this regard, Cybertruck beats all the other typical American full-size trucks. It has a lower hood height and a sloping hood, which should reduce pedestrian fatality rates in frontal collisions. Quote from IIHS (US highway safety agency): "Whatever their nose shape, pickups, SUVs, and vans with a hood height greater than 40 inches are about 45 percent more likely to cause fatalities in pedestrian crashes than cars and other vehicles with a hood height of 30 inches or less and a sloping profile,” writes the IIHS in its study of 18,000 pedestrian-involved crashes. It later continues: “However, among vehicles with hood heights between 30 and 40 inches, a blunt, or more vertical, front end increases the risk to pedestrians.”
Thats not accurate or his opinion. They have issues with early ramps of every new product. Look at anything mature like the 3 and Y. Hell, look at his review of the 3 refresh. Tesla's issues are all cosmetic, which is refreshing from a Ford owner like myself who had 3 transmission recalls on the same vehicle.
Completely agree. I got a Model Y sept 2023 and after spending almost 2 hours doing my initial inspection before taking delivery, I saw 0 issues. I was really surprised lol.@@syspowertools3372

This is the first review from MK that didn't feel genuine, and him trying really hard to suck up to Tesla. It's a terrible truck with terrible build and half of the components that he paid for missing, yet he tries to sugar coat every part of it. C'mon, stop being part of Elons cult of personality.
@@kenshin4000 i think you could be biased and in that case it would feel that way but this was a negative review where you could see and hear his discomfort with the vehicle.
The best thing about a Tesla is its display. Just not the fact that all the controls are routed through it. Rather, its speed and functionality. Specifically the small bezel and the fact that o u can display the entire screen. I just wish you could expand to full-screen view for the backup camera.
One of the bad things about the Tesla is the fact that the headlights are recessed in a groove. It looks cool. However, in heavy snow, the snow accumulates in that groove blocking the headlights. Quite deadly in a blizzard.

- Love novelty
- don’t actually need a truck
- are super rich
- enjoy endangering everyone around them

I have a nissan inbound from Japan currently and even that I think will be an eye openered compared to the kaizan approach of toyota (improve and refactor, improve and refactor, which is why they are so incredibly well build and also reliable and simple).
I genuinely do not think I could every own a Tesla for the shear fact that they are simply badly built (forgetting the fact they have no soul, but that's more subjective lol)
Nissan has been garbage since the Renault thing in 2001. Sad, I was a Nissan kid and loved all their sports cars.

You don’t mess with geese. They are aggressive birds. I once was got chased out of a park by a family of geese. they kept following me around and honking at me.
I'm glad some countries are making physical buttons and nobs mandatory for certain functions. Screens are dangerous when you have to look away from the road.
I’m curious, which countries?
Australia and Europe ( ancap and ncap). Key functions will need to be physical controls to get a 5 star safety rating. These include indicators, hazard lights, horns, warning lights, windscreen wipers, and emergency 'SOS' features.
So not fully compulsory, but a requirement for 5 star rating.
The minimalism of the interior makes me genuinely sad. There's almost nothing in it. Fewer things and it would be a plain metal box.
I like heating and volume with physical buttons.

Part of cutting cost is not simple material cost, it's development. For example putting a rear camera feed onto the rear view mirror...

That driver door fit is unbelievable. More unbelievable that whoever took delivery just accepted it? Service could have fixed that.
Do they not do quality checks? And if so how did that pass?????🤯
Someone likely broke the door after delivery
Edit: Elon confirmed on X that 15 Cybertrucks are affected by this, it is a door latch that have not been properly fastened from factory. It comes loose after driving so there would be no problem at the service center.
THIS IS NOT A PANEL GAP 🤷♂️
That is REALLY bad. crazy.
Tesla has you make note of defects and then you schedule a trip to the service center after delivery. So they either haven't scheduled it, accepted it as is, or it broke after delivery.
@@Arpedk ha, I doubt it.
I've seen a lot of Cybertruck reviews by now and what stands out to me is that Tesla had an idea, with a specific design, which they stubbornly stuck with regardless of all the practical obstacles they encountered during development. Things we take for granted in other cars like efficiency of windshield wipers, the need for physical buttons and a freaking door handle. Or even the shape of the front. That vertical, huge flat slab of metal on the front of the Cybertruck is gonna have a lot of small dents from road pebbles.
It’s not that Tesla and its talented engineers had an idea, but that Elon had an idea and even the best efforts of the engineers to make it work left gaping compromises that couldn’t be smoothed over

Got to love a review on a truck without ever mentioning a single thing that would make it useable as a truck. Owners of electric trucks usually have not owned trucks before and it shows.
And I love when he praised the 240V port because you can charge another car and then immediately transitions to how terrible the battery range is. 😂 Who's going to charge you?
He specifically mentioned how Truck owners dont really do Truck things and how the Cybertruck uses that knowledge of the market by not actually being excellent for "trucky" activities. Are you really that bad at paying attention? If people buy trucks because they want to compensate for small genitals, rather than for wanting to do "trucky" things, thats not Teslas fault.
Lets be fair there are some practical electric trucks like rivian though theyre expensive. I think elon and his aesthetics designers are just morons and so are their customers.

All cars have rust on their rotors. It’s not the HFS on the cybertruck.

You could easily buy a german engineered car like an Audi S8, BMW M8, a C63 AMG or a 911 GTS, and those cars are well build, great quality, but it sometimes lacks the extravagance. It lacks the x factor, the je ne sais qoui, that comes with the other "imperfect" brands.
People love a good Rolex yet it is totally acceptable that it doesn't have the most precise clockwork out there. You could get a better product with a good old G-Shock, but it's not what most people look for.
And Tesla has beclem such a brand that has its crazy fellowship that would defend it to death, just like Apple to name another american overhyped brand.

Nice, big functional center display without sacrificing all the tactile controls. AWD with adjustable suspension that climbs Colorado mountains in winter like a goat. And I've towed 5,000 lbs on multiple occasions.
So congratulations Elon on delivering in 2024 what I've essentially had for 7 years.
Oh, your "truck" is full electric and has a big honking wiper. So you have that.
This vehicle, as a concept, has taught me to be grateful for the big auto manufacturers and how much R&D is present in their vehicles. When someone buys a Toyota or a Ford, they don't have to worry about which parts of their vehicle design was intentional and which parts were "that would be cool" features.
not trying to defend the "philosophy" behind tesla (or any other thing controlled by elon), but car-designs are full of things that are meant to engage with our senses of asthetics, e.g. the smell, the sound of closing the doors. not saying this is analogous to every single thing tesla would call a "cool feature" of the cybertruck, but i think its worth mentioning.
every other company over engineers the ever living shit out of their cars, ford in particular.
@@killingtimeitself Tesla are the most over-engineered cars in existence and somehow they have the worst quality in the western hemisphere.
To be clear, I'm not saying manufacturers like Ford or Toyota don't have their own flaws, but they've had a lot of time and money into working out the kinks. Tesla is still new in the grand scheme of things and to that end, of course they'll still have a lot of issues to work out. I imagine their production models in 10, 20, 30 years from now will be much, much better in build quality, but my criticism is more in regards to the novelty baked into the Cyber truck, things like choosing a touch screen for every interior function. Touch screens are nice, sure, but are we only doing it because "future = touch screen", or does it actually improve the ergonomic functionality for the driver? I think not, and in fact it detracts from the driver being able to make quick adjustments without taking their eyes off the road. With analog knobs and buttons, there's a potential for building muscle memory to a point where the driver can interact with the controls without ever giving it a second thought. With a touch screen, it's not impossible but significantly less intuitive.
I'm not even a car person, this was just a criticism I had of the cybertruck mostly but generally Tesla as a whole.
Yeah reminds me a little bit of the car, which Homer designed in one of the Simpsons episodes..
The year is 2027. I'm careening down a hill and my brakes give out. I can see someone about to cross the street up ahead. I tell my virtual assistant to honk my horn. No response, there is no reception in the area. No biggie, I fire up the touch screen. Swipe away the software update, I can get to that later. Scroll down the menu and hit the 'honk' button. A short delay but functions perfectly. 10/10. Hats off to the developers
Edit: This is meant to be a joke. I understand there is a horn on the steering wheel. It pokes fun at how so many things are moving to the touchscreen. I don't expect them to actually move the honk button to the media screen in 2027 unless they are actually insane.

He's never founded anything, certainly not tesla. He's not an engineer. He's not responsible for anything, but a handful of exceptionally dumb modifications for aesthetic reasons that ended up jacking the manufacturing costs up and often being objectively worse functionally. Then he goes out and runs his mouth promising misleading tech/features that sometimes the engineers are able to make happen, and other times (full self driving) charging for features thatll never exist.

So what Tesla has produced is a pickup that's bad at being a pickup. That bed is already small and weirdly shaped, and if you want to have a spare tire - which is definitely something a pickup should have - you have to give up part of the load capacity, and if you want to have the kind of range an internal combustion pickup can have thanks to the giant fuel tanks you can fit in one, you have to give up even more of the bed. On top of that, because it's an electric truck, it loses way more range if you hook up a trailer than you do with an IC engine; this is something all EVs suffer from, because physics, but it's still a strike against it.
On top of that, you have all the Tesla design quirks that make them so awful to drive, like the utter lack of an instrument cluster or stalks on the steering column, so instead you have to look even further from the road to see even how fast you're going or how much charge you have left, and you have to navigate menus on a touchscreen to do anything.
Looks like the physical equivalent of the gaming world is with us.
You buy your car in a half built state and the DLC (“door level calibration”) gets you the finished product.

After all those dealbreakers I was expecting a much harsher final review!
I'm really impressed with your camera work!
That panel gap made me gasp and let me tell you dear reader, I drive a 2008 Dodge Caliber.
That really does put it in perspective
I think its why MKB chose this CyberTruck instead of his. His "Beast" version was above average, but he wanted to showcase the lemons. On the plus side, Tesla service comes to you and eventually the fitment issues get worked out as production increases. Model S,X,3,Y all have problems for the first year of production.
@@syspowertools3372 but elon said he knows more about manufacturing than anyone alive on earth
But according to the fanboys "panel gaps was fixed long time ago, it is not a problem anymore"🤣
So you think Elon knows every single thing going on in Tesla? Stop hating and get a life!
Thank you for the KM range conversion. Audience outside the US appreciate.
It don’t sell outside the us too
@@Strangetbh Wrong. It is also sold in Canada - which has km.

Why don’t outside markets ever give us units in miles and horsepower? Shame on all of you.
@@DctorSkillz1 That depends on the target markets and audiences. If it's not meant for US and/or UK there's no need for a conversion.
Thanks. I was planning to live with the Tesla Cybertruck. Now I don't have to.
Excellent summary, Thanks
4:48 - That might be the worst door closing sound iv ever heard 🤣
Cause it wasn't closed.
He didn't shut it the whole way, sounds like there's something up with the latch.
@@shootermcgavin3077He said literally less than 10 seconds later that this is how its supposed to look
@@Atlastheyote222 What even he said, it is off course a latch issue that will be solved easily.
@@didierpuzenat7280pretty raggedy for such an expensive car tho isn't it? I wouldn't expect issues like this on a Volkswagen or a Toyota.
This truck and all its promotional material gives me serious fyre festival vibes 🥪
Yeah but that fyre festival guy is not a billionaire. Enron Musk is a billionaire and the billionaires need our support.
@@hamie63_m excellent point
HA HA!!!
@@hamie63_mLmao Enron Musk. That’s really good.
Great job. Like someone else already mentioned, it's very disturbing that Tesla is ok with that extremely noticeable door gap on the DRIVER side on a LOW-VIN release. Not putting your best foot forward. I do love the steering features. That should be a standard feature in more vehicles. Cool seeing your vids being made in my home town of Kearny.
Is the crumple zone going to be added with a software update too, or will the drivers get turned to mash in accidents?
I just love the little touches that show you how little Tesla cares. Like the fact that you're spending nearly $100k on this thing and they couldn't be bothered to wire up another $30 screen to put the rear view in the correct place.
"you how little Tesla cares" - Teslas are the most safe veichles on the road and every time they aim to the highest score in tests. They don't care what is the minimal bar to be ok on the road. they always aim to the max. that's what they care about
Same problem as Apple useless shit
@@carloorelli3538STFU tesla fanboy. go talk to a therapist. smh
@@carloorelli3538 That's a particularly hilarious comment considering the cybertruck isn't even road legal in the EU because of how UNsafe it is. For pedestrians it's a death machine and for passengers it's a death box as there's basically no crumple zones.
@@Aevinish Only the cybertruck though.
The cars on the other end do sell here.
"So you dont have to" thanks for taking one for the team bro, ill just keep living with my 2010 Chrysler
PT Cruiser has more higher quality than this thing 😂
czcams.com/video/UAxsIPbXMOs/video.html
I'd rather have 100 2010 Chryslers stacked up as a Chrysler pyramid than 1 Cybertruck.
No option for paint, no spare tire, panel gaps, Cant fully eipe a window, slow charge. They went all out with this one
My Rivian is amazing. I was 1200 in line for a CT, but there is no way I would take on this thing. What this could have been with all that tech etc... What it actually is :(
Worth watching for the long run, if price through economies of scale became appealing and software updates fix these issues I could see buying. Im not crazy about the front trunk space and lack of spare tire under the vehicle but love the fold up rear seat space. In the near term hybrid vehicles will make sales for towing range and to a somewhat questionable degree offroad ability but the structural design of the cybertruck is ahead of its time so the market will eventually flip. This vehicle could be well positioned but needs a lot of refinement, I would love a roll down rear window into the bed or even better a midgate but not a deal breaker. Mostly want to see software and production improvements on the key competitive aspects that would make sales. Primarily price, software updates for range improvements, locking differential, etc. Need to nail the basics before adding the bonus features but good first run.
appreciate the honest review!
that front trunk though... i think Throttle House did a demo of how it can chop carrots. the doors are also sharp enough to peel them if you want, so there's that.
Fill it with ice cubes and you've got excellent finger storage for those impromptu trips to the ICU.
Such an affordable price for a new kitchen gadget.
carrots? man, you guys will do anything to avoid the metric system
jokes aside, carrots aren't known for their toughness. That doesn't sound worrying to me.
@@MadsterVneither are fingers
Its a very expensive cheese grater.
This is random but i've never seen Marques make such an expression on his face 9:51 since his channel began🤣 , the look of "digust" is so real.
I laughed at that too 😂😂😂
That squeak LOL
czcams.com/video/UAxsIPbXMOs/video.html
Damn you guys do note everything.
It’s because the door strike is loose. Screwdriver will fix it.
Unironically, the new Prius design looks more cyberpunk to me than this monument to sharp edges.
Incredible how every piece looks old, it seems like a car used for years.
“The truck itself is a bit of a celebrity”!🤣
The serious look on Marques’s face when he said that, it’s almost like the cyber truck is a spoiled rich kid and Marques is trying to talk quietly so the truck doesn’t hear him!😂
100% true fam
17:30 really proofed his point haha
Unfortunately this wouldn’t be allowed in UK/Europe due to safety concerns. Too many sharp edges no give on the bonnet or hood, plus it won’t fit in our tiny roads
@@tubadukIt shouldn't be legal in the US either, but here we are. Elon might be paying off or bribing NHTSA. They are already suspected of being super corrupt during the Trump admin. Which is why new truck generations are completely breaking safety design laws with their massive grills that would kill children and peds easily.
Fortunately you mean! Imagine the pedestrian deaths. @@tubaduk
$80,000 for a great Stereo sound system, seems legit.
It's like a stainless steel fridge on wheels.
@@Mr_Spock512without a handle
Elon-stans are going to make soccer-moms driving regular land-yachts look like the sensible ones.
The best thing is, that the Video flickers as if the Cybertruck has Problems loding in... xD
My lady and I were driving through our sleepy little Washington town, and we saw a Cybertruck in the wild. We both burst out laughing.
It was entirely spontaneous. We weren't trying to be mean. I don't think either one of us thought about Elon Musk at that moment. We just saw it and we laughed. So safe to say, I guess that particular aesthetic isn't for us.
There were several obvious rust spots on it. Near the door handle, now that I think about it. Which is a shame, considering the vehicle's price.
I'm not clowning on your purchase decision, sir. I'm glad the Cybertruck has its highlights and good points. I'm glad you're enjoying your vehicle, overall. I'm only commenting because you asked us to share what you think of its appearance. 🙂
So what my takeaway is from this:
- rusty tires
- panel gaps (broken drivers' door)
- loves fingerprints
- If you want an extra battery and a spear tire, you lose almost all storage space.
- Useless windshield wiper
- Everything has to be controlled on one screen, which is complicated and dangerous.
- tiny steering wheel.
- bad visibility
- Useless rearview mirror
- useless sunshades (sun shines over them)
- It can cut your fingers off.
- but looks cool
I think it looks hideous. But to each their own i suppose
Not only it cuts off fingers, *its stupid auto closing feature can objectively saw off your fingers*
Complete agreement except for the steering wheel. That stuff is genuinely clever.
@@o00nemesis00o The steering wheels is not a Tesla invention, but German cars. In Europe, almost all the 3 drive train 19 tones trucks and half of semi-trucks and some trailers also are equipped with steering wheels.
Actually, Tesla didn’t create anything new on a car.
So to summarise a huge heap of shiit.
To have rear screen in main display is also more simple. No need to have another cables running to top.
22:00 as a cyclist and a pedestrian I'm really glad a car with those sharp edges will not be allowed on the road here
What are you talking about
@@CP-bp7me This monstrosity is not legal in most of Europe due to the danger it presents in accidents.
@@leeedsonetwo ah, too bad. Would have loved one
@@CP-bp7me so you are suggesting your basically brain deaf?
While the edges are dangerous, the main thing that kills pedestrians is hood geometry. Both hood height and flat vs sloping hood play a role. In this regard, Cybertruck beats all the other typical American full-size trucks. It has a lower hood height and a sloping hood, which should reduce pedestrian fatality rates in frontal collisions.
Quote from IIHS (US highway safety agency): "Whatever their nose shape, pickups, SUVs, and vans with a hood height greater than 40 inches are about 45 percent more likely to cause fatalities in pedestrian crashes than cars and other vehicles with a hood height of 30 inches or less and a sloping profile,” writes the IIHS in its study of 18,000 pedestrian-involved crashes. It later continues: “However, among vehicles with hood heights between 30 and 40 inches, a blunt, or more vertical, front end increases the risk to pedestrians.”
That windshield wiper is absolutely hilarious. Look at the placement of that thing.
A wiper that long will be prone to juddering I think. The 26" one on my car did it.
Future cost... $200??
@@vikingbase75 bucks for the big wiper. Chill.
Musk actually _bought_ 3 dildo manufacturers to source the best materials for the windshield wipers. That's the genius of Elon.
@@CampGarethyour wiper was shit though… this thing is a behemoth. It won’t wear like your POS.
It's a rolling meme
I'd be worried about those Canadian geese to... those things can be vicious.
Bet they play hockey as well..😮
4:36 the fact that they shipped that out is INSANE
As MKBHD says It's classic Tesla. They aren't known for their build quality.
Thats not accurate or his opinion. They have issues with early ramps of every new product. Look at anything mature like the 3 and Y. Hell, look at his review of the 3 refresh.
Tesla's issues are all cosmetic, which is refreshing from a Ford owner like myself who had 3 transmission recalls on the same vehicle.
Completely agree. I got a Model Y sept 2023 and after spending almost 2 hours doing my initial inspection before taking delivery, I saw 0 issues. I was really surprised lol.@@syspowertools3372
@@syspowertools3372stop driding for tesla man
@@syspowertools3372 it’s still not acceptable to ship a car with a panel gap so large a toddler could identify it
I don't know why, but this was a pretty comical review. Everything from the geese, the random truck stopping to take a pic, and your review of the cyber truck. It all fits with this truck and how unusual it is lol
This is the first review from MK that didn't feel genuine, and him trying really hard to suck up to Tesla. It's a terrible truck with terrible build and half of the components that he paid for missing, yet he tries to sugar coat every part of it. C'mon, stop being part of Elons cult of personality.

@@kenshin4000idk he trashed on it a lot
@@kenshin4000dude he literally said - dont buy this thing 😀
@@kenshin4000 i think you could be biased and in that case it would feel that way but this was a negative review where you could see and hear his discomfort with the vehicle.
The best thing about a Tesla is its display. Just not the fact that all the controls are routed through it. Rather, its speed and functionality. Specifically the small bezel and the fact that o u can display the entire screen. I just wish you could expand to full-screen view for the backup camera.
First 2 minutes explains why this guy loves the CT so much.
One of the bad things about the Tesla is the fact that the headlights are recessed in a groove. It looks cool. However, in heavy snow, the snow accumulates in that groove blocking the headlights. Quite deadly in a blizzard.
Quite deadly in a blizzard. When it rains. When it's off-road. When FSD is enabled. When it's a full moon.
Despite lower heat emissions, LEDs still emit heat, especially bright ones with frosted coverings. The snow will melt.
@@alecwhatshisname5170I'm not confident you've driven in sub zero weather with a comment like this...

This is pure form over function.
