Still waiting for the promised spec CyberTruck. Still saving for mine. Resigned to 2025 and closer to 400-500 miles range... because I DO haul & tow. (Yah, I KNOW.

They will eventually have variants with higher range on the CyberTruck.

@@TroySavary Get one while GM is willing to give you a truck at about 1/2 of what it costs them to make. I have mixed feelings about paying customers to take your product and claiming any cred for delivering on spec. Kind of like hiring a date.
Who are the 'they' in this case. Tesla is quoting 2025 delivery for new orders. We have no idea how many people will get the foundation series between now and then. Or do we??
TFL and their first Cybertruck road trip showed me some good things and bad things about the CT: - Good: Ride quality, seats, drive all really good. - Bad: No FSD/AutoPilot yet, smallish yoke wheel combo, wipers were not able to reliably sense rain. Like a lot of things, the truth is between the praise one camp has and the hate another has.
The small wheel is a crapola opinion. Trucks have large steering wheels so you can turn them. Not an issue with PS but it is a bit of a clown show cranking that big wheel round and round to make a 'tight' turn. I suppose a big wheel on a truck with PS makes sense if the PS fails. It is pointless with steer by wire. FSD... We were told that they need to gather more data because the rear wheel steer causes the truck to move differently. Given that they have yet to update the rear steering to 10 degrees I doubt that they have started collecting data yet. No way to make this happen w/o trucks on the road. The more trucks they have on the road when they do collect data the faster it should go. Unfortunate but 'somewhat' understandable. We don't really know the score.
@@danharold3087A twitchy steering ratio sucks off road or backup up a trailer. You want to be able to make tiny adjustments. It is abundantly clear that Tesla did absolutely no research into the needs of truck buyers while developing this clown car.
Drew seems to be much more technical than most TH-camrs, which is one of the primary reasons I watch his channel, but sometimes he says stuff that's more than a little off.
I love my model Y but I need 400-500 rated range to tow my 7500lb trailer 100’s of miles for music shows I do production for, some are not near chargers.
In the beginning you made a great point about being on the other side or in the future of the story. I can't wait until these things are everywhere on the roads and when they get cheaper later. To me, the foundation series is just an extra $20,000 in dealership options.
So just so you know, these are the wheels and tires that will ship with the RWD cheap version next year. I still can't believe so much is up in the air about this vehicle still. Can you imagine this truck in 5 years? That's the one I want to own!
Are the the tires actually that much smaller? They’re 35 in tall, what are the all terrains? Also the all terrains fit on a 20 in wheel, what are these? Seems like they just use a less aggressive tread pattern and maybe different compound as well as less moldings on the sidewall. And the aero cap only covers the wheel and not the tire.
The tires appear to be the same size. I believe that with those big hubcaps you are more committed to one single tire (you can always change later). I’m fine with all season tires. I don’t plan to run Baja, Moab, or the Rubicon in mine.
what i find amusing about the cyber truck is that my 2001 dodge diesel get 330 -340 miles a tank and that is while towing around 5K every single day. Ok correction 5 days a week as it just sits on weekends. I am not a hater either as I am on the wait list.................... afterall when I buy a truck I don't buy it looking at fuel milage but what can it tow what can it haul. now who all did I just piss off I'll wait
There's a ra ge test our there. Testing 3 ride heights, with and without Tonno cover oven and, and, and with and without hub caps. Range was unaffected with or without the hub caps!!@!
First off a 4680 is 10 mm taller than a 2170. Not even close to twice the height. The space in the pack is left there for impact with either road debris or off road obstacles. There is not enough room to double stack a 4680 cell. Could they fit in a 46100 or a 46120. Probably, but not a second 4680 with that design. They would need a deeper battery box.

I cannot quite understand what is the obsession with people with the amount of range a car gets. I am an Uber driver and I drive a Tesla model y performance. I bought my Tesla on September 11, 2023 that’s 283 days ago and I have put 50,000 miles on it. The average Tesla consumer drives less than 10,000 miles a year. So the range do trucks and cars are perfectly fine. For some reason, people believe that they go on a road trip every single day. Completely upset.
Tesla's claims of increased power for the 4680 batteries seems to have gone up in smoke, at least for now. I'm holding back on ordering until they bring out the RWD or lower the price of the AWD. Even though I wanted to use the truck itself as a rental business, I'm going to save up and gather investors for a food franchise instead. I know the food industry and once it's off the ground I can buy both a Cybertruck and Aptera as delivery vehicles. And afford another CT for personal use. Inshallah.
Doesnt matter to me, because my pre-order that I did in the official tesla mexican website a few years back will come to fruition in what... ? 3 years maybe ? till they actually start selling it in Mexico. :(((((((

The wheel size thing is personal preference. There is no need for the leverage that a larger wheel provides.
A 4680 battery is 46 dia x 80 mm tall. A 2170 is 21 Dia x 70 mm tall. A lot wider but only 10mm taller.
