Tesla Cybertruck Test Ride and Impressions!

- Published on Nov 22, 2019
- We ride in Tesla's newly announced Cybertruck prototype! Just hours after its highly-anticipated unveiling, we meet up with Ryan McCaffrey of the Ride the Lightning Tesla podcast to discuss details we noticed from our test ride and getting up close with this futuristic electric pickup. It's controversial and aggressively designed, with an aggressive price to boot.

Was it hard to get in and out of the truck I have a reservation for the truck
In my opinion Cybertruck is a masterpiece of bold innovation and design that only Tesla
is brave enough to attempt. I think is looks much better than run of the mill pickups.
One of the main reasons that the Cybertruck can be produced at a lower cost
relates to how the body is produced. The stainless-steel body can be formed by
simply folding the sheet metal without the necessity for expensive stamping
machines. Also, the absence of paint results in significant cost savings. A
paint shop cost 200 million dollars in initial capital expenditure and has
additional ongoing expenses. The painting and drying of is time consuming and
is often a bottle neck in production. Cybertruck
eliminates this cost and bottle neck. The exoskeleton design was necessary to
decrease the weight of the Cyber truck so that it is not heavier than the
conventional pickup truck despite its heavy batteries. Other electric pickup
makers will have a hard time competing with this design in terms of
specifications and cost. The bizarre appearance of the Cybertruck is a
necessity to keep costs low for these specifications. The price and
specifications of this vehicle are so compelling that it is a viable
alternative to a conventional car. I would normally never buy a pickup truck,
but I will be getting the Cybertruck as my daily driver. It costs the same as
my Tesla Model 3 and has so much more capability and room. Should be great in
heavy snow and won’t rust from the salt used on streets in the winter in the
Chicago area where I live. Won’t need to worry that one bird shit will stain
the car forever. The only downside when
compared to a car is its large size which might cause issues with parking in
some areas. The pickup truck will use more electricity per mile driven then the
car but the additional cost difference is not as significant as with internal
combustion pickup trucks. Once the general public understands this, there might
be a whole new segment of population that will opt for the cyber truck instead
of a car. Power outage in the house? Run an extension cord to Cybertruck and
get by with powering essentials like phones, broadband modems, and rechargeable
led lighting. You could even cook with an instant pot or induction cooker. Also,
Elon confirmed on twitter the car may have a solar option for the bed cover
that can add some range when the car is parked in the sun. I don’t care that
other people may not like how this looks. If they want something that looks
like a regular pickup they will pay more and get less. Not a choice that I
would make. I would like to see this low-cost polygon body concept scaled down
to a mid-sized SUV with three rows of seats with the last two rows foldable and
removable. This would be a better alternative to a family car than a pickup
truck. Scaling this down to an urban hatch back the size of a Honda Fit should
allow an EV with a range of 200 miles for low $20Ks in couple of years.
too bad there is no price on it in Belgium, but I tried some different colours and white looks good to me ru-clip.com/video/FlaVFo86Qmc/video.html
I haven't wanted a car this bad since the Model S first unveiling.
It looks like what 80's movies promised us the future would look like.. thats why i love it, its a boomer thing, you zoomers just wont get it
The tesla cyber truck is weird and cool like the delorean. I really like it if i had the money i would buy one!
Wanted: Fastest Cyber Truck and I want a lot ; )
It's really cool!
A Stainless Steel Origami
Was that really truckla at 9:42? I thought Simone wasn't allowed to bring it??
Hello everybody

Thank you guys

The cybertruck is just a hatchback.
RIP NIKOLA TESLA
y'all if the car doesn't crumple the driver could die in a crash it's not road safe this car fucking sucks
Sorry but i will stick with my Dads 25 T roadster pickup!
It looks like it came out of that blocky game called Roblox.
Broke af but still buying this
This thing could hit you at walking speed and still turn you into a quadriplegic.
Riding trash can.
Interesting how Tesla can remove even the most basic features for cutting costs and be considered visionaries.
This car really plain as hell
T-shirt is more ludicrous than ludicrous. It’s plaid.
Truckla & Simone Giertz at 9:42. Not a secret prototype!
Looks like a 2 year old draw it...

I like the obnoxious amount of bright light from up high. That will be sure to piss off anyone in front of it in traffic.
Super cool truck. Pre-ordered before I ever looked into it even. Lol
Does it have a cigarette lighter?
UGLY CAR more likely to call it a bucket!
Okok all jokes aside and hype aside this vehicle is garbage
All distraction while they spray you with chemicals
Vegan leather, so you mean plastic.
TRUCKLA! 9:41
It looks like a concept design I made for a car when I was in preschool. Give me one for free and I won’t sue for copy right infringement.
I can't call that a truck. It looks like shit honestly. Like a concept model that's nowhere close to being complete
no side mirrors feels like a really bad idea. They are to useful for tight parking or for finding what drives in your angles
1:25 Polarizing for sure. Fans of crappy low poly graphics must love that thing... whilst the rest of the world, with working eyes, know it’s hideous and would never get one. Ugh.
I can't stop preferring a 1977 firebird, sorry.
I'm more interested in the police spinner.
I honestly don't see it being able to be sold in Europe. The hard body and lack of mirrors are two very important points to address in a vehicle.
Adam Savage can redo his Iron Man armor in cold-rolled 30x steel instead of titanium.
The Cyber Truck would make a very intimidating Cop car.
love this channel, great detailed conversation
What happens when you use a sheet metal brake and a ruler and forget the English wheel and french curves were invented in the 19th century...
That much glass and you still choose to put all display information out of the line of the drivers view rather then using a HUD,makes no design sense...
Even mentioning the work of Syd Mead as a comparison to this visual nightmare should be punishable by death.
Truckla, I see your cameo...
Finally. A car that literally looks like nothing on the road
It's a missing a *big red or green hud* in sci-fi font.
The look of that truck still doesn't unprove that Elon is super villain or a Bond Villain
Me being late for work and seeing my boss
11:30
sneeky sneeky truckla
For 5 years will be rust...
Welcome to the new dimension

Airbags?
The design has grown on me over the last week or so. It occurred to me that many auto manufacturers showcase their futuristic designs at auto shows, but they're never put into production. Elon Musk gives us the futuristic design and will actually sell it.
I want Simone's truckla model 3
God this is fugly! Take my money, but I'm bitter about it.
This truck reminds me of ARK II.
