    Cybertruck made in Texas being told to go back to California is so funny.
  • @Ungovernable74
    I drive a 20 yr old truck. No payment. Low taxes. Low insurance. That's how you grow wealth.
  • @jordanr1987
    i wanna see people use the bed like a normal truck - how is it loading/unloading hockey gear? golf bags? lumbar? drywall? mulch? USE THE TRUCK - I don't think i've seen any reviews testing the bed
  • @jstar1000
    I would argue 50% or more of the people who buy and drive a pickup truck never or extremely rarely tow, haul anything or use or have a need a 4x4 but yet they buy them like they are going out of production tomorrow. The Cyber truck may not be for you or me for that matter but people will buy and love it.
  • @scottyellis3442
    It looks so much better wrapped. Reliability???? You can't judge a vehicle's reliability on just 5000 miles. If it gives trouble in 5000 miles then it's a lemon. 75,000 miles is a good reliability mileage to be going on.

    'This is our first electric truck right?' 'No, remember the Hummer?' Did they completely forget about the Lightening they took to Alaska...?
  • @mdhen4
    For the ways I intend to use it, the cyber truck is the best truck for me. It performs like a sports truck, goes off road, rides comfortably for long trips and can crash through brush. I haul brush, some lumber, garbage etc that the bed will do just fine with.
  • @zackzuback9518
    The only comparison that you may want to correct is the tractor pull ... The tractor pull was done with the cyber beast vs the dual motor for which you have used
  • @bvon336
    It’s not for me but that said I saw one wrapped in black the other day and it looked sharp. Kinda like Bruce Wayne’s lambo. If we’re honest it’s a fine “truck” for the 90% of truck buyers out there needs. Just like a ford maverick is more than enough for 90% of truck buyers. The idea that we need 3/4 ton diesel trucks to haul our far butts to work and back blows my mind. 90% of the trucks I see on the road (which is a lot as I’m a truck driver) are a sole person inside and nothing in the bed save a cooler.
  • It’s has a fast 0-60 time, rides good with or without a load, only does good when or if the computer updates do come; needs charged fully after 85 miles under a full load; has a practically useless bed, you can cut yourself on the fingerprint marked and stained non painted or finished stainless body; has no headroom in the back seat; and is run solely on a large computer screen. This has nothing we need and is nothing but a truck for the rich who really don’t need a truck except to haul groceries in. To add to the fact it’s designed for no efficiency (aerodynamics) by a third grader, this truck may sell to some but to the folks who actually use a truck for actual truck things; it’s useless
  • That is great that the cybertruck has an emergency escape Lever, but it makes no sense why it is covered behind a black piece of plastic that you would not be able to see if you were locked up in that pitch black vault with no light.
  • @sirhcmi3
    I’m thinking regular car washing products should be out and barbecue grill and refrigerator anti fingerprint products should be in… or a wrap 😂
  • @collegepros
    I’m into watersports, and having a lockable bed space to put my wet, expensive watersports gear would be great. Right now I use my minivan for that stuff. Ideally, a long range electric van would suit my needs better.
  • @jvaillancourt
    One of the big advantages of the Cybertruck is the exceptionnal size of the closeable/ lockable storage provided by the powered tonneau cover and the higher bedsides. This benefit would be greatly reduced if the bedsides were normal heights.
  • @CaliJerS15
    Car Wash Mode, please give them better credit.
  • @apegues
    Nathan… Thank You for being Honest and not being afraid to speak your opinion. So many YouTube reviewers just spew B.S to make auto companies happy… it’s just disgusting.
  • @scanadaze
    Long ago when I worked in kitchens. We had a stainless steel spray cleaner. Back then. It worked perfectly. We bought it from Syco.
  • The wrap looks amazing! It is a huge improvement over the bare stainless.
