Incredible footage today. It is getting more real with all of these videos of the Cybertruck driving around, or doing winter testing in NZ. I feel like I am a kid peaking at my Christmas presents before Christmas morning. I am stoked to see the Cybertruck videos while I am waiting.
This video confirms adaptive steer by wire. It only takes 180 degrees of steering rotation to turn the front wheels to the stops (or close to it). For comparison, my '22 Tundra requires 540 degrees to do the same. It will make the yoke usable, in fact, preferred.
i find a little bit funny the line of dust on the roof/ceiling of the CT, where it is obvious it has been cleaned, but it is also obvious that the person couldnt reach all the way to the middle
@@dustintravis8791 there are such products out there, i have an extendable broom to clean snow of my car... also dont live in a market where the cyber truck will make an appearance in the next 5 years, so i would have an even harder time marketing and distributing the product. but it is a freebie idea for anyone wanting to jump on it XD
I use equipment at work that has steering like this, when you first see it in action you think it's going to take forever to get used to, but it's damn near instinctive. Now I hate driving things that don't have it.
Yes, and that Equipment is expensive to keep maintained. Useless for the Highways and streets unless of course you are driving a Ladder Truck for your local FD!
This is very interesting. Looks like from nose to rear of cab it is almost identical in length to that four door crew cab truck, with a box perhaps a bit shorter. Although now that I am taking a second look, the sun seems to be fortuitously directly perpendicular to the road. Looking at the length of the shadows cast on the ground, I am thinking the CT is definitely shorter (the Ford trucks shadow is wider front to back). Not having access to any image analysis software, I second the request for a view from directly above next time to make the comparison more robust.
Great video Joe, thanks for sharing! I'm sure somebody's already commented, but just in case, I love how in tight turns that the rear wheels turned in the other direction as the front to keep the turn radius small such as when it pilled away from the charger and when it pulled a u-turn. Thanks for the bonus video!!! 👍😎
What was the small dark car behind the Cybertruck? It had what appeared to be a partial “T” logo on it. It looked considerably smaller than a model 3/Y. The roof reflection did not look like it was glass. In fact, further back was a white Tesla that with a glass roof. It was definitely longer than the mystery car I am asking about.
Wasnt this dont by Honda with the Prelude years ago? I wonder why the industry as a whole never incorporated it in more vehicles i loved driving with this feature. Glad Tesla did this
It adds a lot of maintenance cost and wheel alignment complexities. Unless you really need the tighter turning radius it's not worth the cost. GM did it in trucks 20 years ago and it didn't sell.
What are they going to do about the back glass. See how dust settles on it so it needs to be wiped? How are they going to solve this with dusty environments, or just muddy places. Another issues is snow? I think it could lead to big problems.
Yeah, back wheels don't seem to turn anywhere as much as front wheels... so is there really a point in it? I thought they were supposed to turn as much as the front and allow you to do weird things...
The size comparision of CT with MY did not go so well. With MY reported to be 4.75 metres long, the CT measures 5.41 metres (17.75 feet), when we are expecting the CT to be ~5.8 m (19 ft). Thus, likely a 7% measurement error. Perhaps a higher shot directly over the pair would do better.
@@peteregan3862 Evidently it is! I'm quite confident with my scaling from that overhead shot. I haven't followed the Cybertruck story from the start so I'm not up with whatever the expectations were.
@@Deere2154D Some comparisons: 1. F-150 comes in many trims, the bed lengths vary between 66 to 96 inch (5.5 to 8 foot). CT's 6.5 foot bed sits somewhere in between. 2. Load capacity of F-150 generally ranges from 2470 to 3230lb. CT's load capacity is 3500lb. 3. F-150 towing capacity is generally in the 5000lb to 14000lb range. CT's load capacity is 7000, 10000 and 14000lb depending on trim. I would recommend this channel for more in-depth comparisons: www.youtube.com/@cybertrucktruckguy3347
4ws, been around for decades, 4ws has also been working this way as long as I remember, slightly turn and the wheels turn the same way but turn more and The rear wheels turn the opposite way. Thats not a new idea, if they would turn the opposite way from the start it would be crazy dangerous at higher speeds.
The old mechanical 4WS systems and toe-out flexible bushing systems like the Porsche 928 sort of worked, it were extremely complex mechanical systems that tended to be unreliable and maintenance headaches. More modern steer by wire computerized systems have come a long way and I think this is the latest example and probably much more reliable. That is what is important to see in the Cybertruck.
I guess I don’t quite get your intention beyond chest thumping. Can you assess the technological differences between Bobs mechanical and complex one-off system in the 70s with the one being used in the Cybertruck? I’d like to hear your thoughts on the technology itself, not the concept.
@@JoeTegtmeyer 1. The intention is quite clear to make it obvious that rear wheel steering has been around for decades. 2. Drive-by-wire technology is completely unproven. ( To be safe or reliable ) ... 👀 If you want to be the first one to sign up to be a test dummy, have fun 😄...
@JoeTegtmeyer it actually wasn't that complex since offroad vehicles just use a simple hydraulic ram and valve for rear steer, it just takes a smarter operator ( and not meant for high speeds)
🤣🤣🤣 When I saw the heading, I was expecting the greatest U turn ever made only to see the widest u turn I have seen in a long time. Most cars with normal steering will do a u turn better than that.
Its gonna take a helluva lot of bribes to get it though the crashtests in europe also. But the cybertruck probably never was ment to actually sell, its more like a hyperaiser
dull design were going back in time not going forward through technological breakthrough advancement but vice versa, what a slow vehicle and you get bored when you see this behemoth everyday and their quite slow, I prefer the BYD with the blade battery and interior + exterior design high performance torque and Hp with 4 wheel drive on e-platform 4.0
I see no advantage or use of the vehicle that is referred to as a truck. That is a useless comparison. I have an F-150 FRT BUMPER TO BACK BUMPER 20'11" with a 6' bed. Of course, I can only travel about 680 miles on a tank full of gas. I can only travel about 325 miles pulling a 5700 lb. Travel Trailor. So, i guess that ridiculous contraption they are referring to as a truck may have something going for it. Like the extremely high Price tag!
It's probably going to be significantly cheaper. Tesla's production has gotten more efficient and the glass is flat. The X has compound curves making production more complex and expensive.
Boring. I liked the design when it first came out. I remember it was divisive. But when was that? 50 years ago? Feels like it. Overhyped and underdelivered. Utterly boring now.
This is so..... So..... Sooooo booooriiiiing..... Quadrastear was a thing decades ago. Nothing to see here but an electric pickup going really slow and taking a single sharp turn that my Chevy traverse could have taken. Its hard to be excited about a vehicle when all we ever see is broken windows, slow driving and yesterday's tech innovations.
@@JoeTegtmeyer not sure. Should I feel better? Should I feel better after receiving a useless comment from a nobody online? Nah. Feels about the same. Now scurry along, I'm sure you have some more useless comments to post.
@@jonmcentire it’s a valid question from somebody who owns and operates a car restoration shop and I’ve worked on a lot of various kinds of cars for decades. I’m truly interested in your technical insights. Not sure why you are acting so emotional to a valid question.
@@LemonySnicket-EUC Sir compare it to an F150. 5 or 6 variants, 8 different colors for the Ford and one variant (looks wise) and one color for the CT. Sure some will pay the 10k to get a wrap but most won't so again the same vehicle, same variant and same Stainless body. It's going to be awesome yes but it will be a dime a dozen soon and not very special.
Thank you, Joe! It was great seeing 4 wheel steering in action! Always awesome. I'm not sure how to act having now seen in-focus, horizontally-filmed, well-lit, expertly followed Cybertruck footage. That may just be the absolute best video yet..

When it's beside the transport truck it is possible to see how really large it is, although an F150 is even larger.
Same dimensions as F-150 mostly, but the angled roof makes it look less tall, though functionally a similar space.
