37:57 Final Thoughts

All right, so the Tesla Cybertruck has been kind of an enigma.

It was revealed 4 years ago, almost to the day.

And ever since then, it was kind of quiet.

But then we slowly started seeing them rolling around like California a little bit and then a couple in Texas.

And these are like prototype-y Cybertrucks and they were testing.

So what we have here is a near final Tesla Cybertruck.

So there's some small small prototype II things here there But everything that I'm about to show you is what's going to show up in the customers delivery trucks starting basically right now So I've learned a lot about this truck in my time testing it There are some surprising things about it some features that are really cool things that I think truck people are really going to like, but also some concerns that I have, some surprises.

Buckle up, this is going to be a mega video.

Let's take a look at the final Tesla Cybertruck.

All right, first things first, let's get to the specs.

Everyone wants to know the official numbers, everything on paper.

And it's funny because we'll get to this in a second, but some things have actually changed from the show truck that showed up on stage, including the overall dimensions.

But the stuff that you probably care about is the basics like price, range, speed, right?

So there are gonna be 3 configurations of the Cybertruck.

This 1 that we're looking at here, which you can't tell by looking at it, but this is the triple motor version.

It's not quite the same as the Plaid powertrain, but it is 2 in the rear, 1 in the front, and it's gonna be able to do 0 to 60 in 2.7 seconds at 11 second quarter mile.

It has torque vectoring at the rear and it's absurd.

I think that makes it the fastest production pickup truck factory ever.

But there's also going to be a dual motor version that they also start to ship early and eventually also a single motor rear-wheel drive version.

The triple motor is gonna start at about a hundred thousand dollars.

So this is new information we kind of had a much lower idea of what the price is gonna be at launch.

It's a hundred thousand dollar truck you're looking at.

Expect somewhere around 75 85000 for the dual motor version and then the single motor will be further down the road.

But the dual motor is still 600 plus horsepower and still plenty fast.

And As far as range, we'll get to the wheels in a second, but it's about a 340 mile max range from the absolute most efficient version of this truck.

Now, a couple other last numbers things that I think some truck people will appreciate.

First of all, towing capacity and bed capacity.

Those are some things that Tesla's told me.

I think it's 2,500 pounds for the bed, which is pretty cool.

And we also measured the truck because officially it's about 5% smaller in every dimension from the original show truck, the prototype that people have been seeing on stage.

So I measured it from front to back and it's about from bumper to bumper 224 inches.

We happen to have an F-150 Lightning here that we've been directly comparing it to right over there.

We've got some onboard power and all sorts of fun features here.

And so I'll mention when things like that also appear on this truck, but it's about the size of an F-150 Lightning.

Now, speaking of the 5% shrinking dimension-wise, there are a lot of things that have changed about this truck versus the original show car.

There's so much to talk about in this video.

There is the world's largest windshield wiper, which I'm sure you're curious about.

They're removable and they've kind of done all that they possibly can to make it able to be removed.

It has to ship with this from the factory legally but there is a blind spot monitoring lights inside the truck there are cameras here on the side of the truck to show you that spot when you put your blinker on so you can just pop this off if you really wanted to And then also down at the side here, these wheels, this is an aero cap that is removable.

This is the premium tire that's going to come on a 20 inch rim.

All of the initial trucks, triple motor, dual motor, they'll all have this tire on it.

It's got some neat little aesthetic tweaks and I'm sure compound tweaks and tread stuff here.

But this is a plastic aero cap with like this outside rubber.

It's actually a 2 piece and it'll get you a couple percent more range on the truck But if you don't like the look of it, or if you're off-roading Pop that off and that's how the the truck's stock wheel will look A lot of grease and metal in there, but this is a two-part thing like I said So if I can rip this off These are the 2 pieces and the reason is 2 parts is because actually wanted these To line up with the little rectangles on the tire So maybe you want to take the aero caps off to air down the tires and go off-roading and you want maximum brake cooling, whatever you're doing.

But if you want to put these back on, you sort of line all this up.

So I'm going to probably not do that again, considering everything it just left on my hands, but you get the idea.

You can do that on all 4 tires, 20 inch rims.

These again are the premium tires and yeah.

So, okay, you kind of can't really tell the story of the Cybertruck without addressing the fact that it is a giant stainless steel triangle.

I mean it looks surreal like there is not really a single curve on this entire truck.

Every single piece, these are giant pieces of stainless steel there's all sorts of sheen and fingerprint implications that we'll talk about but I don't know it it's an aesthetic thing like not a whole lot of curves fine that's pretty cool But then the other version of that conversation is like, look at how sharp the front of some of these pieces here, how sharp it is.

Not that you're gonna like walk up and poke the front of someone's truck very often, but that's a sharp corner piece of stainless steel right there and right there.

And then this front piece here, it's this 1 huge big stamped piece.

And I had a couple of conversations with people, Engineers at Tesla about using stainless steel on the body panels like this and they have these huge presses that are stamping the stainless steel But steel has this sort of a spring back effect.

So you use a lot of force to stamp it in place, but then it springs back really quickly.

So you have to stamp further than you need to get it to unspring back to the part that you want it to be at.

All of that is to say, I've seen a bunch of Cybertrucks while I've been here, and they all have slightly different levels of panel gaps, build quality in general.

This truck in particular that we're looking at, it actually looks great.

I'm not gonna say it's micron levels of precision or anything like that.

But generally panel gaps all the way around are pretty small, pretty even, looks really good.

But I don't know, I don't know if I can promise that for every truck, like even just this huge front piece here has a little bit of like wavering.

So I'm not an expert on it, but I'm just saying this is a truck you're probably not gonna care too much about looking exactly perfect panel gap wise.

All right, the next thing we got to talk about is the Cybertruck's trunk, aka the truck bed.

It kinda, it looks like a dump truck to me, but 1 thing you should know is, first of all, a Dampened opening for the tailgate, but it's not a power opening tailgate So you will have to manually close the thing, but it is a nice soft damp And then the other side is the powered tonneau cover.

Oh wait, I should do the thing They told me it can support up to 300 pounds.

They told me I could do it, so here we are.

I'm not gonna jump, but I'm told 300 pounds of force from somebody standing on 1 foot.

So I think if I jumped, I could probably break the thing.

But the fact that I'm standing on it and it's not breaking, that's pretty good.

And it's a motorized tonneau cover, which means.

Now, once you're here, there's a bunch of stuff I gotta talk about with this trunk.

First things first, you probably noticed it slid down and revealed a rear window, which means number 1, yes, There's a rear window.

It doesn't go up and down But at least you have that glass there and 2 yes, that means that when you close the tonneau cover You are completely blocking your rear visibility We'll get to that later So the other thing you probably noticed is when we first saw the type of Cybertruck I did a video about this on the Autofocus channel, the bed was just like bare stainless steel.

Tesla said they took it out and talked to some construction people about it and were like, all right, what do you think of this truck?

But the first thing I would do is spray line this so I can not damage it.

So I just figured they would line it themselves.

The bed size, the official length of the bed for the F-150, the Lightning God over there, was 66 inches on paper.

Now when I line this up here, I get all the way to 72 inches so it's a solid 6 foot bed.

But There's a little bit of overhang over here.

So if I subtract a little bit to account for that, it's about the same, 66 inches.

And there's a little bit of a sub trunk, which is pretty cool to see.

So a lot of EVs now have a sort of a sub trunk area.

You can definitely fit duffel bag in there probably a full carry-on bag and there is a drain plug So if you want to make a cooler out of it and tailgate, there's a pretty good vehicle to do that There's also some bed lighting you can see on the left and right.

There's lots of lights and there's also this sort of a latch system.

So all sorts of latch points where you can tie things down with cables.

What you're probably noticing though is there's no spare tire, no spare wheel.

If you do want 1 you can buy 1 separately and tie it up in the trunk, but you don't get 1 by default.

And then the other thing is, there's power in the trunk.

If you wanna charge a vehicle with a 9 kilowatts out, you can use literally the thing you'd plug into a dryer outlet.

You can plug that in here, plug it into a vehicle and give battery to another EV.

So just in general, I'm glad that more EVs are doing this, having the ability to power other things and actually charge, you could actually theoretically power your house with this if you had the right inverter, but 11 kilowatts out of the charge port, 9.6 kilowatts out of the 240 volt onboard, All great stuff to have.

I should also mention, small detail, bottle cap opener over there, and then some more mounting points for cables and things like that.

There's some lights that we'll talk about in a second, but let's close the tonneau cover.

If you press the button, it does the whole thing.

Or if you hold the button, it goes until you let go.

But it seems like if I hold it down, Whenever I let go, it stops.

And if I just press it, it goes all the way until I cancel it, which it doesn't want to cancel over there.

All right, we got to talk about these doors because there's actually a lot to it.

So first of all, a lot of times on a concept car or a prototype, you'll see there's no door handles and you're like, oh, that's cute.

But when you ship the thing, you're going to have door handles eventually.

No door handles on the Cybertruck and they're sticking to it.

So basically how this works is, there's a little button right here that's indented.

You press that button and when it's unlocked, it sort of pushes it out maybe 2 inches.

Then you grab in here and open the whole door.

The auto presented windows, they all close themselves up here.

Smaller button, you press it, it opens it and it works.

And this is actually a full 90 degree door.

I love that there's like stainless steel in here.

But what I've noticed, and this is something you'd already be thinking of if you live in the Northeast or something is, if it's cold or if it's raining or if it's frozen, if there's like an inch of ice over here, is this gonna work?

Tesla's telling me, and this is a California company that tells me these things, but they're telling me up to an inch of ice, if you can break through that ice and press this button, it'll push with enough force to open it and break the ice off.

But the other thing about that is, I think a lot of people are going to open it down here on the stainless steel.

And You can see the fingerprints go so hard when you open it like that.

And because there's no door handles, there's not really a good way of telling someone how to get in.

So a lot of people are just gonna grab it right there and fingerprint.

Look at, there's just tons of fingerprints on the side here.

So I don't know, there's gonna be a lot of Cybertrucks floating around with lots of fingerprints around the place that people's hands go to open the doors.

All right, front of the truck here, couple things that are of note.

First of all, if we go down low, this plastic bumper, pretty solid, but also there's 2 tow hitch rigs on the front which is awesome there is a front camera for the first time ever in a Tesla believe it or not that's useful on a truck like this where you can't actually see over the front Then you have this huge daytime running light, but also the headlights, the actual headlights are just these slots down here.

I'll show some night, you'll see some night driving footage.

So you'll see what the headlights look like.

But then the thing everybody's been asking about, and I've seen mostly on Twitter is, is there actually a front trunk in here?

Yes, there's a front trunk and it's automatically opening.

So you just reach in and push the button in like that.

And it's a pretty shallow front trunk, I gotta say.

This is also the part where I feel compelled to mention that I haven't seen a single Tesla logo yet on this entire truck.

It's mostly branded with Cybertruck in this kind of a welded text, which is kind of cool.

I mean, I can sit in here and you're probably seeing I'm much too shaded right now.

So it's kind of tough to understand how big it is, but it's only maybe the size of 2 of these Ridge suitcases.

So I'm going to put 2 Ridge carry-ons in the front of this thing.

Cause this is basically the exact size you'd want for like an airplane overhead.

If you actually had to travel with stuff in the front trunk, could you fit it?

I think maybe you might have to do some Jenga to turn them down.

As long as they're behind this seal, I think I'm good.

Okay, so that's basically your exact limit, is 2 Ridge carry-ons.

Shout out to Ridge for sponsoring this video.

So these Ridge carry-ons, which are in these nice colors, they also have a 30% thicker shell than a standard carry-on while staying lightweight some nice carbon fiber accents a durable and grippy handle and They're weatherproof.

So wherever you go if it's raining, you're good And if you want a matching Ridge wallet, it literally comes in the same colors.

So you've got royal black Alpine Navy base camp orange and matte olive And shout out to Ridge for offering a 99-day risk-free trial.

So if you don't like it for any reason within 99 days, you can literally send it back for a refund, no questions asked.

So check out the bags, the wallets, and everything else Ridge makes, and get a special offer at my link below or at ridge.com slash MKBHD.

All right, so now let's get to the interior of the Cybertruck.

And once again, there's a lot going on, but I think probably the first thing you notice is the only curve in the entire interior is this steering wheel.

I'm pretty sure when I first showed the car, 1 of the big things they showed was it had a yoke and it had this crazy like marble shelf at the front now it's looking a lot more normal car like but there are still a lot to go over so first of all this glass this glass canopy from the nose of the car basically all the way back to right in front of my head is the single largest piece of glass in the entire automotive industry.

Have you ever tried to order a piece of glass this big for your house?

But this is the biggest windshield we've ever seen.

And it kind of is this nice dramatic canopy when you're just like looking around and visibility in the truck is very good.

You also have these little removable Sun shades that are actually pretty big and there's this nice Look at this magnetic connector up top to get that in place.

So that's cool and everything, but aside from that, no other curves.

Lots of straight angles and triangles and things like that.

So I think you could fit probably 2 water bottles in there.

Then you get up to here and there's all 4 window controls.

The door latch to electronically open it but also the emergency door latch open so if you lose power every door that's electronically latched has to have that manual opening as well.

And then in the middle you've got just kind of a bunch of open space.

But then you have just this big open tray space which I believe the Rivian also has.

And then in front 2 wireless chargers, 2 cup holders, a big ol' armrest in the middle, and a bunch of storage in here, including another 120V outlet and a single 65W USB-C charging port.

And this is where I think you kind of return to the normal Tesla look, which is very minimal.

I do like this material better than what they had before though.

Tesla's been improving with their build quality, but it is what it is.

But you can literally, you can like lose something in front of you.

Like if I put like a marble or a pizza box or something, it could slide forward.

Of course I could accelerate and get it back, but there's just a ton of room and then I'm thinking about visibility over the nose of the car.

I feel like the more I drive this car the more I'd get accustomed to the size of it but I really don't feel like I'm looking right down over the nose.

I'm looking out at the end of the windshield and then sort of guessing where the nose is.

So, okay, a couple of the smaller things.

First of all, this light up here, touch-sensitive.

There's ambient lights all the way around the cabin and you can change the color of that with RGB with software.

There's also an interior facing cabin camera and there would normally be, this is 1 of the prototype things, but there would normally be a regular rearview camera here.

Now as I mentioned, you don't actually get to see out the back from the mirror if your tonneau cover is closed.

But there also is no camera option for that rearview mirror to turn into a feed from a camera.

Instead, that will always be on the screen.

I think I've found that that's actually fine.

You just sort of train yourself to glance at the top of the screen instead of at where the mirror normally is but that's something to note and 1 more thing what was I gonna say oh yeah huge tinted roof over your head all the way back over the passengers heads and a ton of speakers Not a single curve to any of the speaker grills, but there are speaker grills all over this cabin and they're all either trapezoids or squares.

I thought that it was required that The only actual physical button you need in your car is the hazards button.

This truck does not have a hazards button.

It has a touch sensitive hazards thing, but then there's also your park, reverse, neutral, and drive gears if you actually want to change them up above your head.

I've never seen it there in any car ever actually.

Typically it's right in front of you with the paddle shifters or your gear selectors and you can still do it on the screen like you can in other Teslas but that that's new.

All right, first of all, I like that the door is open 90 degrees.

Really good rear legroom, Mostly because the seat in front of me is on these cool Cybertruck looking rectangular risers, but that means I have real space to put my feet under the seat in front of me, which is huge for legroom.

Middle, Not the best legroom ever, but still a totally great backseat.

Got another screen back here that I'll show you in a second.

There's a little bit of seat back storage, but check this out.

There's a little trick to the back seat just for storage.

So although you already have a front trunk and rear trunk, if you want even more covered storage with this latch right here.

The right seat actually comes completely up and you can just keep stuff down here if there's no person here.

Matter of fact, the left 2 seats come over here.

I'm gonna get out and pull that latch as well.

And then that's just, that's a ton of room for activities look at this Not that that's better than having a seat, but you can put a bunch of boxes back here.

You can put I Don't know you can just put stuff back here Also, there's the 9 and a half inch screen for the passengers, which is where I discovered you can move the passenger seat, not the driver's seat, on the screen.

And these are also heated left and right, not middle, but heated left and right rear seats.

They look ventilated, they look cooled, but they don't do that.

Or you could just like watch a movie or direct your airflow.

Okay, so whenever you're talking about a new vehicle like this, a new platform like this, you got to talk vehicle controls.

So as I'm in the driver's seat That's gonna be this new 18 and a half inch touchscreen in the center biggest ever in a Tesla it's also the biggest ever car and this steering wheel which I Got a lot to say about it, but you're gonna notice it looks pretty familiar to any other Tesla but they have made some key changes that I think I actually like a lot.
