Ive collected my thoughts.... and I think the Cybertruck is still very very very very very very cool.

The most insane part of the truck isn't even it's shape, but the engineering inside it!

800V architecture, using new battery tech, steer by wire with 48V, single piece cast of front and rear, new to industry stainless alloy, air bending of the allow, high torsional stiffness... all appreciated by those interested in engineering and technology. Range is not necessary on daily commute.

The range is definitely the biggest problem. As someone who lives where they salt all winter every year, I really like the stainless steel. This makes it better than any other EV along with the Model S & X.

Range was the thing *I* was looking forward to most. Disappointed in that aspect.

I appreciate and respect your view on the Cybertruck. You're not a fanboy and you are very much in touch with reality. Your perspective is great for the consumer base.

A lot of KZfaqrs have focused on what a miss it was, but they have honed in purely on the top model. Pretty much everything else exceeded estimations - dual motor gets MORE range, faster acceleration & higher towing capacity. Single motor matches estimates on range and acceleration. It has only fallen down slightly on the tri motor and I expect most of your audience, if purchasing, would be looking at the dual.

You should defintly get the dual motor one, great price for value. Love your videos BTW, been watching since 2017 with my son!

The amount of content you can make that crazy looking thing is limitless

The dual motor version is the sweet spot. When you consider the potential to interface with a Powerwall and add 11kW of power and 120kWh of storage to your home backup by tapping into the Cybertruck pack the real value proposition is pretty amazing. 340 miles of range in a 6k+lb SS bodied truck for $80K is damn good, and it will be even less with incentives.

The towing specs did decline. The range specs are close for the rear wheel and all wheel models, but the tri-motor CyberBeast is much lower than original estimated. The prices have increased a bit more than inflation alone too. Inflation has been around 19.56% since the initial unveiling. That said, we’ve had a lot of feature leaks over the past few years. I guess people thought those would all come for free… The original truck unveiling did not have any of these features/specs: • Steer by wire • Rear wheel steering • PowerShare - bidirectional charging • 48V LV Architecture • 800V HV Architecture • Ability to charge at 350kW w/ V4 Superchargers • Rear 9.4” Screen Not sure if those additions can make up for some people feeling a little disappointed. I do want to know where the adult cyberquad is though…

I drive less than 50 miles/day so I'm glad I don't have to pay for and lug around a large battery that I don't need.

Yeah the range extender is an interesting idea, I realize you are not an engineer but you have to look at battery size not just range. You said 4680s are supposed to be the best right?? They kinda are, if has one of the smallest batteries in an electric truck and has similar range to most. The Silverado has over 200kwh I think around 212, the cybertruck with range extender is at 170, and gets more range. I wish they would have covered this in the event to prevent this kinda of reaction. I am also confused why they dont just put the 50kwh more batteries in the cyberbeast to start. Its the flagship!

Honestly, I get the range extender thing. If they loaded up the truck to get 500+ miles, you are looking at a Hummer EV situation. Too heavy and inefficient. What I don't like, is the design of the extender. It should be a separate truck model from the start, or the 'pack' should not be lump in the back of the bed. But rather a 'sled' that just increases the load height of the bed by one set of cells. It's almost like they are forcing you to choose, have a functional bed, or have towing/range capability.

The matte black one looks like a Batmobile

I think it will come down to reliability as I think this is essentially a lifestyle truck that will be used to show off and maybe the occasional trip to the dump or Home Depot like most trucks are probably used for. Influencers will put it through all sorts of tests in the end it will just need to meet its EPA range as well as any EV does and not have lots of mechanical issues. There’s also the unknown in terms of how well the design will work out in the real world. It’s not the vehicle for me for lots of reasons but to each their own.

5:05 So true as it can be, this should have jumped the battery technology again with the range. I seen 3 Cybertruck video's now, and you are so spot on what is the critical importance for this truck. They are missing here a huge critical mile stone, hope some battery engineers can calculate why the range is so low.

Range on the Tri was most definitely what I was looking forward to having. I am 1,000% on the fence now. If I do proceed, it will likely be the dual. You should CERTAINLY buy the TRI and after you are disappointed in it, you should donate it to me......😎🤓

People don't understand that pickup truck for towing , when you tow your range will reduce more than 2 times, and if it's lithium ion battery u can't charge 100% and discharge more than 20%. Do the math , guys 340 miles will be between 100 -150 mile real range with a RV , is that's enough for camping? I don't think so.

I reckon they made the perfect compromises for the majority of the people that are going to buy the Cybertruck and then at least provided the addons for the outliers. The only problem I have, is that it won't be sold in Europe (for now and maybe never), so I will likely have to import one myself.

Elon: Lets think outside of the box! Designer: How bout the box?

Where I live (EU), the car rusts before any mechanical or electrical problems, so it basically falls apart because of the rust. *Cybertruck would be the best car to have, never rusts so it would be overpowered.*

I love Tesla, I have one and defend them all the time. But are KZfaqrs and influencers just going to forget the fact that when the Cybertruck was announced the promised price was much lower and the range was a lot higher? When announced the top Cybertruck model was estimating a range of over 500mi+ range and a price of 69,900. Not to mention other stats are now worse. Now the top model is 100,000 and range est of 320mi! Just weird that no one is mentioning this.. But thank you Dan for mentioning it

And then you get the Foundation Series, and my Cyberbeast is gonna cost $120k 😮

Wow "for *only* (an extra) $16,000 and a third of the truck bed", you get close to the originally advertised range! 😅

Is the video title even a question ⁉️

Remember the video on the main channel where pre ordered like 52 of these monster trucks 😂

Price is right for dual motor. I'm not listening to any negative first impressions. This vehicle is way more capabile than the Model X. The range extender at 470 miles beats Rivian. It's cheeper, has comperable range, but has several features above Rivian's offering. I think its a real winner. Plus you won't have to worry about Rivian bricking your vehicle on updates.

Why did you stop uploading videos on the main what's inside channel?

They should have the option to fill the under-bed storage with batteries. And it shouldn't take up a 3rd of the bed space.

Didn’t you preorder like 30 cybertrucks

I saw a video the other day, and I don’t think you know this, but if you don’t be aware: The Tesla Model S and X Plaid, with the most expensive setting were both like 140,000 for the S, and 150,000 for the X, but now, it’s more like 105,000 For both the S and the X, so following suit might be the Cybertruck. The Cyberbeast starts at just under 100,000, but may decrease to maybe more like 70, 80,000, so, just keep this in mind, and you might change your opinion! Also great video as always! I stopped watching 2 years ago because I felt the videos were out of my interest, and because you stopped uploading to the Main channel, but now, I have started watching again, and I have to say, the videos have gotten a lot better!

Having to convince yourself that you like it when you know everything else is better , less expensive, more bells and whistles in standard without having to spend more money upgrading, overly concerned about speed instead of practical use, no talk at all about maintenance expenses when they come around, and when it reaches more than 2 years old you're either stuck with a brick or have to dish out more money to keep it going, etc.... Sounds like I'm talking about Apple.

I suspect in a little while, people will warm up to the CT again once they realize the true advantages. Tough, range still decent and features. Price is truly the only negative and that too will get better.

a matter of perspective - 300 miles is nothing for America yet for the UK, you could get almost everywhere on that assuming you start from somewhere like coventry or birmingham in the west midlands

So the guy who is building an underground bunker in his backyard (JerryRiggedEverything) isn't interested in a bullet proof truck? 🤔

The ironic thing... there was an ad for a Ford Lightning before the video started. (for me, of course)

I’m very happy you brought up the 10% degradation in the first few years. This is the reality no one talks about. 500 mile range is basically 8 hours of straight driving with no stops. You could argue 6 hours and that’s still a long time. I have a Model 3 with 280 miles of range (after 5 years) and we road trip a bunch. Supercharging is not a bad deal. We have the opportunity to go to the bathroom every 3-4 hours. A 320 mile range is low, but it’s a “beast” of a truck. They have to add a range extender battery in the bed because there’s likely no room elsewhere. The hype is high. If you have a reservation to get an early model, get it. If not, wait it out. Well, start hearing much more about it in the next 6 months. I’m guessing many will complain about range, but how many people drive over 100 miles daily? Not many. The other concern is towing. My opinion is any EV truck is not worthy of towing. Not enough range for that. And in America, how many truck owners actually have a hitch ball and tow?

The Cybertruck specs are in line with the rest of the industry. I think Tesla was smart not to put a giant battery in the truck. Chevy and RAM are going to have such a tough time making those 200+kwh batteries. My issue with the Cybertruck is that it does not make for a good work truck. Mostly because of its overall design/ shape. Which I absolutely love but it’s a super truck not a work truck. If I was in the market for a truck I would get a Lightning to do real work, a Cybertruck if I just wanted the looks and a bed, or a Rivian if I needed to get work done occasionally.

This is only the beginning! In 5 years we should have the cybertruck we were promised.

I want the range too. We drive twice a year to our vacation home in Calif from Denver. We stop twice now for fuel and were hoping to only have to charge twice. The other thing I want is a pass through to the back with the cover rolled to security (up? down"). I want to put dog beds back there and have them come into the cab only occasionally. By the time my reservation comes up (300,000) I'm hoping that the price drops a little and maybe they will have upgraded their batteries.

The cybertruck makes a very strong statement, much like g-wagons and hummers, and I feel like Dan is too nice and humble for the Cybertruck to be on-brand for him.

If you add the range extender and you consider just how fast it will now charge once V4s are using 800Volts at 350kW. Stopping for 20 minutes every 350 miles is pretty darn impressive compared to how often you have to stop now.

Even though many people don't like tge design i personally love tge design and the matt black looks really good its design makes it stands out and its out of the box which is really cool

YES!! You should get one!! Are the cybertrucks you bought coming? I still remember the video seeing How many cybertrucks you can buy

I think once everyone switches to NACS, range won’t be such an issue. If Bi directional charging works seamlessly that in it self is a major feature going forward. Also In an accident I would want to be in anything else.

I think the 800volt battery and 48volt system is a great step forward reducing wiring etc and increasing speed of charge on the right chargers

I agree. I have low rsv number. Very disappointed on specs. I've been waiting 4 years for this. My X has 345 so I'm not losing range but was also hoping for more.

The chairs are very comfortable. Nice meeting you.

Range just killed my discussion to buy the cybertruck. It have to at least have 400 plus range in the three motor version.

AWD version specs are actually much better aside from price. Average vehicle price has increased $12k in 4 years. With the $7,500 discount that brings the AWD version down to $63,500 only $1500 off the original listing price when adjusted for inflation.

the range is definitely the killer for me, 1. you would lose range in about a year; 2. charging up to 80% is better for the battery longevity; 3. What is the point of having a unremovable range extender that takes up 1/3 of the bed size.

Imagine your towing let's say a trailer going camping your running out of batteries after about 80-100 miles because your towing something heavy then your running out of power because your battery is dying there's a truck traveling with you now he has to tow your trailer until you get to a charging station then you get there and there's a long line of ev's waiting to charge too while the truck your traveling with had to sit there and wait until your charged. You hook back your trailer and then this happens at least twice because your traveling around 300 miles. Then you finally get to your destination unhook your trailer and the truck traveling with you is playing off-road you want play too but you struggle to go up a simple hill while the truck your with is long gone up that hill then you finally make it up and now you see a muddy patch while the other truck has drove through it already and then you think you can drive through the muddy patch too and try to go through it but get stuck and dig in so deep and your soo heavy that no one can pull you out the other truck laughing at you and all you can do is cry and say " well at least I'm faster than you!!" while it's doing donuts around you

The price should not have gone up $30,000. Battery costs are down, Tesla does not have union problems. They never had the chip problem that other manufactures had. 800 V is supposed to save money. No paint is supposed to save money.

4:42 love that channel @Gjeebs is such great guy, with great Tesla content

All specs are better than the competition, that's what's important.

People need to consider that Tesla needs to consider battery supply with the volume they manufacture, other legacy don’t really need to think of at this time with the low volume they manufacture

I think that Range extender is too expensive, It should be like 10 grand max. I think with Time the price of the truck will probably drop like 10 grand and they will improve the battery density so the Dual motor might get at least 400 miles of range and like 550 with the range extender. Overall I feel that its an awesome Truck, just the safety of it and toughness and the Gigantic frame and air suspension. I like it.

As somebody that has grown up with trucks being used as intended carrying cargo in the bed, that range extender is very disappointing. You go from having a 6 foot bed to 4ft, can't even safely transport 12 ft boards. Whereas with the midgate on the Silverado EV you can safely transport 16 ft no problem. With all these manufacturers making EV trucks it'll be healthy competition, I feel like in a couple of years we'll have a good selection of EV Trucks.

I think it is a similar example to a smart phone. It's not that they can't increase battery capacity, it's that they increase it slowly and force people who need it to buy additional parts. it's not that there is a lack of technology, but that there are still not enough people who can afford this car.

Loved that you go photo bombed by GJeebs at 4:44! 🤣... His KZfaq channel is awesome!!

Hey :) I have been reading a lot about the truck, and most of my thoughts are yes get one! There are of course some things that are a no! But I especially like the mid range one, I think 0-60 in under 3 seconds is too fast for a truck haha! But all in all I say go for it. If you like it and can see yourself utilizing it, I’m sure you will though with the new house:)

Should expect this to be version 1 of the range extender, there could be more.

I was bummed about the range issue. Think I'll get an S until the range increases on the Cybertruck. I do have high hopes for Tesla to eventually get the range increased

Not a fan of the shape of the Cybertruck however, I am excited to see more innovation and tech push EVs forward. Hagerty already have a full review of the Cybertruck up and cinematography is epic (as is for all the videos in their Icons series). Personally, I'm more of a fan of where Lucid is going with their EVs with hyper focus on efficiency. As Efficiency is key in reducing B.O.M costs thus reducing the amount of materials, rare earth metals etc are used for manufacturing EVs. Higher charge to charge times means less charging and less wear + tear on the charging infrastructure and internal equipment inside the cars.

FINALLY A TESLA VID. we haven’t seen one in so long

What if Lucid had cats that used Tesla chargers? That may be coming..

Glad your not negative about it, I really want one, keeping my order.

Love everything about this truck. Especially the fact that it looks like a Cyberbackpack😅

... too many reasons why these really are the *Affluent Tool-Box*

People that really thought that you can get thos beast done at $40,000 makes them looks sillier than the ones whos trying to selling it to them. The dual motor with 68k price tag is a goos value

We are getting much more truck. than originally presented. Drive by wire, all wheel steering alone justify the price change. My plan is to stay with the dual motor and use the sell both my car and truck plus cash to bring the price down to something justifiable. This will be my primary vehicle and my work vehicle.

Thanks for being honest

Then only range miss was the Tri motor. The RWD is 250 miles like they claimed at original launch and the AWD is actually better at 340 miles vs the 300 they said at launch. The 0-60 are quicker on the AWD and Tri than originally stated.

I've seen quite a few people with that cyber looking backpack at the factory. It looks cool.

Didn't Elon mention long ago that a black version would be available as an anodized finish? That would be better than an expensive wrap that needs to be replaced every few years

They building a highspeed rail line from vegas to la its called brightline west.

you known the salt ring hack if you put around a model y that means is broken when you put shaving cream it goes on party mode.

Yesssss. If I could get a tri motor then I would haha 😂 Fun for around town and taking to the mtns nearby. Would be a blast 👍

they should've instead of using just a normal shutter for the truck bed they should've made it out of 8kw solar panels (as an option) so help maximise the range to at least over 500 miles. if NIO makes a truck I'm afraid it could outsell the Cybertruck as NIO has already designed a car with over 1000KMs of range (580 miles range).

Here’s my thoughts. There shouldn’t be any complaints about this truck at this point. The people that can afford it and don’t want to wait can take delivery in the next two years. The price will eventually go down, and everyone else can get theres.

YES... The specs are terrible! I have two reservations for the Cyber Truck and I'm on the fence as to whether or not I'm buying the trucks. The reason I'm on the fence is complicated, but the loss in range and increase in price are the two largest factors that are causing me to second guess if I should buy the Cyber. My current truck is a Chevy Silverado 2500 HD Duramax with a custom built 52gl fuel tank that gives my roughly 550 miles of range while towing, and the current version of the Cyber won't have anything close to this... I cannot imagine needing to pull over to charge the Cyber Truck every 200 to 250 miles. Additionally having to pay roughly $120,000 for less truck than the original $70,000 was supposed to get me is a tough pill to swallow! Let me explain... I reserved the Tri-Motor and was expecting 500 miles of range, but now we are looking at $100K plus the range extender and I still don't get to 500. I only use my truck for towing, and/or picking up supplies, so spending more than $120,000.00, for less truck than was premised at 70K? Unfortunately I don't think there will be a C.T. in my future.

Lmao do a whats inside my college if you wanna 😂😂 love your vids

Can you use the range extender with the loss of bed? Bet the battery tech gets better and goes into the extender.

I definitely agree with your point on range. Would you consider replacing your model x with a gravity?

If the range extender can double as a power wall while it sits in your garage waiting for the next big road trip. That would be better option than a 500mile battery in the truck. Just need to install a 1ton crane in garage to lift it.. 😂😂😂

think the batteries are going to be better than you anticipate, they will be conservative on initial specs, I think that they are going to offer range updates.

Sure !

Surprised you didn't interview Kyle from out of spec reviews

20 seconds in and I'm sure blud's not gonna meet with mkbhd 👀

Agree. Disappointed rather than angry. I am out at those prices.

9th!

I think that if you do a numbers comparison - it's disappointing. But when you watch the reviews, see the ACTUAL performance, think about all the advancements and innovations that are unique to the truck, it's even more apparent as to why it took so long. The range being less than 400 is a bummer - NGL - but they're not selling this to the outlier crowd. They'll have more customers almost never going beyond the range of a single charge than they will those who roadtrip. That's just facts.. Heavy/expensive batteries being lugged around for no reason 99% of the time is a bad idea - look at the Hummer EV. I'm keeping my trimotor preorder.

The Cybertruck looks futuristic, like from the year 2100!

I honestly don’t know what the deal is with this obsession about more range, especially with the amazing supercharging network, never had issues with long trips driving the model Y, stopping for 10 minutes at a super charger to top off another 100 miles never seemed to be an issue for me. For me the dealbreaker would be the price not the range.

A refrigerator on the move! lol Imagine looking your own refrigerator at the parking lot, looking all the same. lol ha ha ha...

Now we wait until more of the initial orders are fulfilled

I think your impressions was a little off. Sadly I think with the current battery tech, Tesla probably had to balance the price verses the range. Increase range means increased price and weight. If they were shooting for the federal tax credit then it had to come in under 80,000 for most of the trucks sold. The range extender to me is a little bit of a cop out. But I guess whatever works. But I think with the new tech in this truck, Tesla’s next and updated vehicles could easily go over the 500 mile range mark.

You should go off roading and camping with the cybertruck.

I agree on the specs being below expectation. To have a new battery pack that is supposed to be better than all the rest and a try motor variant that was supposed to have 500+ miles of range which now is showing only 320 is very disappointing. at least make it 420 or something this way the extender would put it over 500. I do think, however, there is a chance that range will increase with software updates, and with the new battery pack being supposedly better than all of the rest, there might be less battery degradation, then previous vehicles, and there might be software updates that will increase the range over time, but I definitely think you need to lead off a little better than 300 and something that's worse than the model three which is a fraction of the cost. I do, however, think that Elon does have something obviously as usual so we might see better range sooner than later. All things considered, and with the price being astronomically higher than originally announced. Still plan on keeping my reservation.
