Here’s What Truck Guys Think of the New Surprisingly Expensive Tesla Cybertruck!

29 Comments

1. Hey guys, we wanted to post a quick update comment: One spec Tesla did not include in their initial spec sheet is battery size. According to several reports from those who had earlier access, the Cybertruck sports a 123-kWh battery pack. For reference, that's slightly smaller than the Ford F-150 Lightning's 131-kWh pack (depending on whether 123-kWh refers to usable (net) or gross capacity), and about the same as the Rivian R1T's "Large" (135-kWh) pack.

2. Everybody who evaluates EVs fails to mention how much it costs to charge versus fueling a gas vehicle. Thats the part they dont want you to know

3. That was not a real baseball because it bounced like a tennis ball. Drop a baseball and see if it does that

4. Surprisingly ugly

5. Cybertruck wins the 2023 Ready Charles Design Award.

6. When will tfl be doing some real life testing of the Cybertruck?

7. You guys have such an adversarial tone when talking about Teslas. Every time you report on them. Tesla has created something unique and innovative and the truck world should welcome this. They are not forcing it down anyone’s throat. Your bias just makes you less credible across the board.

8. good stuff, still not have seen anyone who took delivery hauling a load of rocks or off roading it, without getting a xmas tree in the snow with shit tires…

9. They don t claim anything. You can look it up. Over 2 million reservations and counting

10. I don't get the focus on speed and towing capacity when doing either of these things will seriously diminish the range. I also don't get all the bells and whistles on a pick up truck that relies on battery power. Do you really need a touch screen instead of gauges? Do you really need electronic door handles and power windows? Do you really need electrically powered air suspension? IMO-it would have been a lot better to have produced a much simpler EV pick up truck that would cost less and have a greater range.

11. Well I guess Tesla is the only business that’s experiencing something called INFLATION, right? Fair and balanced.

12. Well boys…… Tesla has set the bar for future gross trucks
    Hopefully, they will make some trucks of a size and capability wich appeals to the real pickup lovers
    Notice in movies ,when they show rural settings.. all the trucks are vintage…even tho the cars a re current a 1980/90 Pickup is THE ideal truck image

13. You guys are grasping at straws to discredit this vehicle… it’s hilariously transparent. I guess most of your advertising funnels from legacy Auto…

14. How is the strength in the body accomplished for the trucks towing?

15. Can’t wrap my head around a truck that a first grader would draw next to their stick figure parents. 60-100k?!?! Ouch!!

16. I really enjoy my Tesla MYLR and it has plenty of storage space. I have had one reserved since 2021. But I agree that the CT may not be a good option after a couple years in production. I do agree that the large majority of people will never tow (or rarely ever) and use them as sort of a daily driver, soccer mom etc…

17. This thing is so ugly, doesn't even look like a truck. Looks like coming out of some cheap scifi movie…

18. It's ugly. I'll pass on disposable vehicles as well.

19. Our cat is 21 lb he's not overweight but I think he would fit real good on the dashboard of the truck

20. THAT IS A TRUCK?????? "WHERE ON MAR'S"???????? "WOULDN'T BE CAUGHT DEAD", IN THAT PILE OF CRAP". "SERIOUSLY", "ONE HUNDRED THOUSAND". "LET US KNOW", "HOW MANY BILLIONAIRES BUY ONE".

21. not……enough…….range

22. A lot of Hater-ade 🫗 being served up in the comments. Truck won't fit 6 people? Won't drive over 600 miles? Won't stand up to 50 cal armor piercing rounds? Bruh… 🙄

23. It would be nice to show the specs/numbers you are calling out on screen.

24. Is it just me or are there 0 towing tests of the cyber truck so far?

25. I didn’t like it until I saw it in person. I ordered one‼

26. Cybertruck is the best EV truck in the world IMO. It's price competitive and there's a long backorder list, but it's great for those that want something unique, tough, smart and futuristic 🙂

27. $96k for ugly battery powered computer with wheels.

28. Wow, I thought this cybertruck thing was just gag but it looks like they are really going forward with this. Who in their right mind would buy one of these absurd vehicles?

29. Franz might be a great engineer… but I can’t trust a guy who throw a ball like a little girl….
