- Terry Woychowski is the president of Caresoft, a company that does vehicles teardowns and benchmarking. But he also ran GM full-size truck program earlier in his career and retired as a vice president. He really knows trucks and has some great insights about the Tesla Cybertruck.

Why does everyone fail to mention this is MADE & Designed in USA. We should be proud to have this in the USA.
Woychowski mentioned that hay and other debris fall into the tailgate crack, and then falls onto the rear bumper when closing the tailgate. However, I've owned a lot of pickup trucks over the last 35 years, and they ALL did the same thing! This problem is not unique to the Cybertruck.
The criticism over the wiper controls being on the screen as dangerous was off. There is a wiper on/off button on the steering wheel/squircle. Once activated, you can change the speed with the wheel next to it. The controls are duplicated on the screen.
I don't understand his complaint about debris getting in the crack between the tailgate and the bed. Is he saying that doesn't happen with other trucks? I've seen that happen with every truck I've ever used.
He was an ex GM Exec? 😳 Now it makes total sense with GM.
While John is open minded as always, Terry sounds like he almost hates himself for liking the vehicle and keeps on overblowing minor inconveniences out of proportions Or may be it was just his loyalty to his ex company that was making him do that. Eitherway he proved to the world that the CT is indeed a work truck. And his end remarks about those chordless tools and how even resistant people just shift their habits once they get to use the new thing, that was gold. But, Why John didn't drive it, I wanna see his
On the ford super duty the tailgate gap is also huge we often have tools that fall in the gap and sometimes you don’t notice and try to close the tailgate and it damages it
One of the first 2 things this guy said about the Cybertruck unveiling were totally false! 1. The glass was never said to be bullet proof. 2. The steel ball did not go through the glass. It shattered, but there was no penetration. Try that with any other truck! With that as a start, I'm struggling to get on with the rest of the video.
The steel ball did not go through the window.
On the regen braking, most Tesla drivers use the throttle to throttle regen. It has infinite regen settings once you know what you're doing.
Net net, its good but different. Interesting that a GM truck guy drives a model Y
The gap in the tailgate is the same with every truck he was in charge of building and GMC/Chevy trucks still have it!
He didn't even realize in the parking lot he didn't need to go hand over hand to go lock to lock on the steering wheel. If you watch he's shuffling his hands out of habit.
Why is it so difficult for people to realize that if that steel ball had been thrown at any other vehicle window, it would have shattered the window into many hundreds of little pieces, but when thrown at the Cybertruck window, it didn't shatter the glass, it just cracked it, and the steel ball then bounced away from the vehicle instead of proceeding into the vehicle.

Nice interview. Thanks. What is important to note is just how many of the imperfections mentioned can and do get addressed by over the air updates. Whereas, in most other vehicles, you would have to live with them for the life of the vehicle.
America should be proud of this innovative vehicle.Its not for everyone(Although the pre-orders are in the 2 million range?) but there is so much here that is unique both from a design and technological point of view. Kind of like jazz, Americas great contribution to the continuum of music in this world. I am not really a truck guy but an avid outdoorsman. This vehicle would be for someone like me I think!
Really appreciate John and Autoline. Some of Terry's comments were insightful and some came across to me at least, like a bloke first reviewing the model T... "I find it difficult with this wheel thing and miss the reins...also the seat doesn't cup you like a saddle." One thing when I watch Eric O or Wes working on trucks in the snow states, holy crap they take a salt induced beating. I would have liked to hear Terry's thoughts about how this truck may hold up to that?
No, Elon never said the glass was bullet proof. Terry is misremembering.
I think that little rear view mirror is mostly going to be useful for watching the behavior of the kids in the back seat. Like Terry said, he looks at the side mirrors because he's been trained for 50 years to do so, but if the tonneau is closed (and the rear camera stays clean? enough) he'll learn to look at the screen for the area directly behind. I bet he'll also soon learn to leave his hands at 3 and 9, which will solve the squircle problem. About the huge wiper not staying straight up, I've been watching other reviewers too and this is the first truck that seems to do that. It drew my eye immediately. This one may need adjustment.
