There’s nothing political about an American flag on an American vehicle. It’s something to be proud of 💪🏻
Not having ultrasonic parking sensors is pure cost cutting….
Humans can sense depth using vision. 2 eyes. The cyber truck has a lot more than 2 cameras to sense depth. A German lidar manufacturer canceled their lidar product as their tests showed cameras where more accurate. The ultrasonic sensors that where on earlier Teslas where not accurate enough. Radar on early Teslas also was not accurate enough and there where lots of problems like false positives and also extremely low resolution
Tesla's used to have them. They were removed at the same time that they did a bunch of cost cutting moves. Removing the turn signal stalk and gear selector is also a cost cutting move.
no
@@allangraham970Keep telling yourself that a truck with this price doesn't have them because their not needed.
@@allangraham970 thats just pure cope. no way its not just a cost cutting measure. also I looked into bosch dropping lidar and theres no mention of cameras being better, seems more like they cant compete competitively and are focusing on "mmWave radar and other sensing technologies"
The fact that our flag is thought of as political is pretty sad
Came down to comment this. Very sad. We live amongst the insane.
its because americans dont know the difference between nationalism and patriotism. the people flying flags high are nationalists like us agent. Captain america is a patriot. patriots love their country, nationalists love their party being in power at any cost.
It should not be political. It’s the American flag representing all Americans. Neither should a Tesla be political. It’s an American brand built in this country whether you love or hate EV’s. What happened to tolerance and letting people do what they want.
It's because TFL is based in Boulder, Colorado. The wrap would be fine elsewhere.
@@JohnPMiller Dumbest comment of the week, well done John.
I’m by no means an EV fan, BUT I love the Cybertruck. Allow them to fix the sharp corners and other fitment issues. It’s so weird it’s cool.
It's the flag of our country. What's political about that. You should be proud to display it !!
I’m sure this was already said but in my opinion can’t be said enough. How can the American flag on an American made vehicle be political? If someone thinks it’s political maybe they need to look in the mirror and think about what kind of person they are/want to be.
Don't care about the rap the truck itself is u g u ly🤢🤮
I fully agree and I think TFL would too, but we can’t ignore that there is a sizable and highly visible contingent of people who drape themselves in the flag and the trappings of Americana while espousing plainly anti-American political values and calling for the overthrow of the constitution in a “2nd American revolution” and celebrate the recently failed attempt to seize power in our country through unlawful means. The American flag isn’t political, it represents America and our constitutional democratic republic. But it is prominently co-opted by overt fascists and that’s something we ignore at our own peril.
In this day in age everything is political, the fact of the matter is that's how people will interpret both flags and EVs - political. Unfortunately we live in a deeply divided country.
@jamesherman2808 the flag is ok that's not the problem..the truck itself is not good 👀 ing
My thoughts exactly! If you don't like the American flag you can take you ass to another country!
Net says windscreen is around $1,900. The windshield replacement cost for a Mercedes S580 sedan is also around $1,900. Rivians can run more.
I replaced the windshield of my Toyota Sienna for $350. 👍
@@kennyfordham6208 I replaced the windshield on my Toyota Matrix for $90
I really like the wrap. What’s political about it, it’s the flag of the U.S.A. which should represent all American citizens. I think it shows pride in the country and for the fact the vehicle is majority U.S. built. I’m Canadian and see nothing wrong with that wrap.👍👍🇺🇸🇨🇦
Lot of Americans today hate America and look for reasons to be offended. What a miserable existence.
Exactly.
@plmn93 A lot of people choose blind ignorance, too...
Also a Canadian viewer and I was thinking the same thing.
@@Wicked_RotF30 One can dislike what is happening without rejecting the country. This is neither ignorance or blind ignorance.
I just wanna say Thanks to TFL for all Cybertruck stuff so far
Iv enjoyed it. Thanks for all work making these videos
And fly old glory with pride. The US is the best country in the world. Be proud to be US!
If you are moving furniture that can be damaged, use a furniture blanket! A tough bed liner with a furniture blanket is much better than a soft bed lining that scratches up from furniture and gear.
It's a first year production truck. I still this Tesla is the standard for EVs. A vehicle with a flag is NOT political. Those that say it is, hates seeing the flag. It is the flag our the nation. It represents everyone, not one party.
Damn right it does! It's not political it's representative of possessing patriotic pride! Tesla is an American based company firat!
It is also the world leading ev company by sales alone!
You don't see folks going to other countries and making a name for themselves. You damn sure don't see other countries treating immigrants as well as the U.S. does, despite the multitude of lies to the contrary(I know I was married to a none native none native English speaking foreigner for 9 years.
You also don't see those countries with nearly half of their fortune 500 biggest and best businesses run and or owned by immigrants or descendants of those original immigrants. That's something the U.S. excels at not other countries! 👍🏻
We have our own issues no doubt, but we also are freer than most any other country out there=FACT. 😎
The people complaining have been programmed to hate everything EV, the flag which the same nincompoops wrap themselves in constantly have shown that their ignorance and bias is more important than the American flag.
Looks more like a modern El Camino than a truck
Love the wrap. It’s patriotic, not political. Looks awesome! Keep it!
You have done more with that truck than most people will ever do! And it did very well at everything. Truck is amazing.
Wow, thanks!
Not accurate, but I like your attitude.
Bro what is wrong with u? These people are trying to crap on the truck because Tesla doesn’t pay these for sale influencers clowns. Get with the program.
@@bobbyr8071 Who?
Not really lol
I would just leave that $5K wrap on there.. 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
I like the wrap. It is sad that being patriotic has been politicized.
The Cybertruck doesn't weigh as much as My old dodge ram extended cab 4x4 I used to own.
Stop with the tire wear lies! If you drive like you stole it, you'll replace tires more often!
And the weight? Really? You guys test trucks, you KNOW this is a lie! My '06 RAM MegaCab weighs 200lb MORE than my CT.
And I might add, has done all the truck duties that Dodge has done for nearly 20 years, without issue!
20k miles on mine, tires are wearing fine
whenever this comes up ev owners in the comments say its a myth... with these guys you have to sift through the dishonestly and whining
@@websitemartian or believe the people that own them. Crazy idea...
I have a reservation for a Cybertruck, but overall I'm liking the Chevrolet Silverado EV more now. It has a longer range, faster charging, midgate for long cargo, and a more contemporary interior with some physical buttons.
you will regret not getting the CT. I have the CT and have driven the Silverado EV. It's nice, but it is no CT.
Yeah CT is better, seems folks forget how bad Chevy trucks are. Like, every single year. Just keep forgetting...
Get the Silverado, has actual truck functionality compared to the CyberPoser
if you have elon derangement syndrome get the chevy
You could juice a lemon on those corners when your camping.
Acid etched.
when you are
I'm glad you're reviewing the Cybertruck, but really wish you wouldn't give it a pass on poor workmanship and an interior that would be slammed in a vehicle by any other company. If it was me with those quality issues (loose pieces ripped rubber etc not alignment of panels) I would be just as ticked as if it was a Hellcat with the same issues. And no physical backup on safety items is just cringe.
What about Toyota and their Tundra engines blowing... People give it a pass for being a "first year" product.
@djplonghead5403 I don't agree with that either.
What safety thing? This thing has more redundancies than any production car, literally, ever.
@michaelhess4825 um no it really doesn't. Steer by wire with no physical redundancy.
@@louism8217 it has multiple redundancies, completely segregated from each other, JUST like airlines. But not made by Boeing!
Stop being intentionally stupid/uneducated/closed minded. There are in fact NEW ways to do things, better than the OLD!
Great wrap!
The American Flag is not political. It is patriotic!!! Keep it on, it will facilitate a quick sale at a higher value.
it shows you have dementia if you keep forgetting what country youre in....
I’m not an expert on Tesla, but how can they promise and charge for FSD for so many years and not deliver. I’m surprised they haven’t been sued for fraud. There’s probably a nuance in the contract I’m missing tho.
You are not an expert on Tesla. Do more and better research. You are also clearly not a lawyer either.
@@r3dm3p31 But his statement is correct.
explaining why is just not worth doing. ...
Mine has 20,000 miles on 4 months 😊. Love this thing
Roman the ultrasonics are definitely not why the cybertruck doesnt have fsd lmfao. The 3 and Y have had fsd and they haven't had ultrasonics for nearly 2 years. Don't make claims about things you clearly do not understand. The Cybertruck does not have FSD due to teslas AI needing some specific training for a vehicle of its size. They need time to gather data to train the ai. This is not some big secret, if you follow tesla at all this has been known for half a year at least.
Why would you get hate from having an American flag on the car,
Wow, that’s sad to hear you say that you think having a American flag wrap on your truck is political, I think the wrap looks awesome.
We think it looks great, that’s why we did it!
Come on Roman, you're an immigrant to the US, a US made truck with a US themed wrap in the USofA is hardly political unless selling it out of country. I'd leave the wrap on for a year and see how it holds up, if well sell it as added value and if not remove it before sale.
Good to see you again Zach. Should be in front of the camera more. Perhaps do these live events yourself. Keep people updated with TFL fleet status perhaps.
That's an awesome wrap!
Also, ignore the haters. Nothing good has ever come from hate.
I think Tesla was feeling a lot of pressure to release the Cybertruck. They had been promising it for so long and so many other companies were releasing conventional appearing trucks, I think they felt like they had to put out a product. I expect it will be years before I can afford an electric pickup. But when the used ones get cheap enough, I will probably get a Ford or Chevy or Dodge just because I want that conventional truck appearance. I just wish they had the software comparable to Tesla. If they are still around, maybe I would go for a Rivian. But I consider the Cybertruck a lifestyle vehicle, not a work truck.
supercharging works
Leave the wrap! Own it! It looks great!
You're a rebel Roman! A "truck guy" said something nice about cybertruck and it sounds like it's your primary daily driver. Yo rock star, you forgot to mention the awesome sound system.
Geez, that panel gap at 6:10! I’ve seen Kelmark GTs, Ladas and Yugos with better fit and finish.
You should add a section to the wrap saying "Official Tesla Review Vehicle" or something like it. That way people might not give you as much hate when you are driving it
All of the little issues will get fixed on a rolling basis, don't even need to wait for the next "model year". That's the beauty of Tesla, constant iterative improvements.
First off, the American flag is patriot, not political. It represents all Americans with all matter of viewpoints, all of which should be proud of their flag and country. Secondly, compared to the Chevrolet and Toyota trucks I have owned, that Cybertruck has a a lot of issues for a 5,000 mile truck. I have a truck with years of service that has had less issues than yours with months of service. Thirdly, you having paid for thousands of dollars of "options" and not having them and no idea when you will get them, is simply not acceptable. I honestly cannot believe that people are "buying" into these vaporware options with no idea as to if or when they might be made available.
buying it isnt required ...
That wrap is a great idea... But it should line up all around. That star on the passenger fender should extend in the hood. Otherwise, COOL! Keep up the great work!
My personal experience with EV and tires...It is the way you drive, I had a Model 3 that did not need new tires after 35K miles>. My model Y tires lasted 45K miles and I changed this before I should have, My 2nd set of Model Y tires have 15K miles on it and the Tesla mechanic said that it barely has any wear on it. I do not have jackrabbit starts and stops. When I see a light turn red in front of me, I coast down there and SLOWLY come to a stop. My Tesla Insurance rating is consistently 95-96. As Rooster said to Maverick...."It's not the plane, it's the pilot"
Every year that passes with our Model X I become less tolerant of its massive depreciation and compromises (falcon wing door reliability, chassis flex, yoke buttons sticking, and more). Having experienced this, I can’t help but wonder how long owners will stay in love with the CT with its unique compromises before their sentiment changes. I went from 100% in, to “I’ll wait and see” which is a massive turnaround for me.
Love the flag wrap. Very well done
Are they going to fix the. loose trim peace when they service it? What else are they going to fix?
Looking forward to the VW Bus!! Don't care much about the Cybertruck. I much prefer a Rivian R1T.
CT is not for everyone. I love it. The R1T is awesome too. Cannot go wrong if you buy that one.
The bed is not plastic. It's SMC material. Both Honda and Toyota use the same material.
They talk like EV weight destroys tires. Like equivalent or heavier ICE vehicles are easy on tires? Is aggressive tire wear mentioned on F250 videos? RAM 2500?
Yes, those vehicles eat tires and need much heavier duty (stiffer riding) tires or they wear out VERY fast. The point it that a small EV vehicle wears out tires like a large commercial truck.
No FSD on the Cybertruck is likely due to the vehicle being so much larger than the Model 3 the FSD model was trained on. We've already seen FSD curbing wheels on even slightly larger vehicles (Y and X), I'm sure the model won't work properly on the Cybertruck. I don't think Tesla has anywhere near the amount of data to train FSD for Cybertruck, and won't for the foreseeable future unless they can modify the current model, but that can be really tricky with LLMs.
I think technicalities aside, it is a slap in the face to people that forked out cash for it. They should have either been honest about the timeline or simple refused the portion of payment until they could actually run the software reliably on the vehicles. There are many accounts where they ran shadow fsd programs on non paying customer cars to compare user input vs model actions to continue tuning, they should have done that with the truck too.
You spent $5k to wrap your truck for a holiday?
You realize this guy is a multimillionaire right?
Avoid advertising
The flag should not be used for advertising purposes, or embroidered on items like cushions, handkerchiefs, napkins, or boxes.
Regarding the discussion about tire wear early in the video. Motor Trend did an off-road test of the Cybertruck and found that it did rather poorly in the mud. Too poorly - compared to other trucks with the same tires. They did some investigating and this is what they found:
"Parts of Pilot Rock Traill were still covered by a thin layer of sticky mud from overnight rain when we rolled up in the Cybertruck. Normally this wouldn’t be an issue for a 35-inch mud-terrain tire. However, as the tire treads quickly packed with slop, we began to suspect something was amiss with the Goodyear Wrangler Territory RT tires fit on the Cybertruck. Checking our support Chevy Silverado ZR2, which was fit with Goodyear Wrangler Territory MT tires, we found the Tesla-spec tires have a similar tread pattern but 4/32 of an inch less tread depth. This equates not only to thousands of miles of lost wear but also to far less traction when it’s needed the most."
This might be something to look into. Your tires may not be worn; they may not have had much tread to begin with.
The tread is a different composition to accommodate for the wear. Harder, lower rolling resistance, equal (roughly) wear.
Another good video. Keep the truck!! I love the wrap. I had no idea the cybertruck weighed more than my Chevy Avalanche. As for tires, I own a 2022 Ford Mach-e. I just replaced two tires after 34,000 miles. Your car weighs almost a ton more than my Mach-e. I have a question - why would hail be an issue? I’ve seen hail a few times in my life and it never caused any damage. Also, does the Miata fit in the bed?
Even for a first model year, it's a bit excessive. The fit and finish is piss poor. Points for Tesla actually making it but they get a F- on execution.
I would like to have seen Tesla blunt the edges. But this is not a traditional body. Gaps are easily adjusted on this truck as the entire skin is bolt on. Which also makes repair easier in some cases. I expect this truck has a lot of maturing to do. But then so does the $2 million Lotus Evija.
I give them an A+ for actually making it.
I give them an A+ for a future case study that brings safety regulations to whatever class of vehicle it is in. I'm not jumping on the safety bandwagon, but the conspiracy theorist in me wants to say "is this being made like that on purpose for regulation we'll see a decade from now?"
And I give them a D for fit and finish, the panels are glued on, and the dash looks like a high school friends custom dash.
It's a neat toy. As a truck it's pretty terrible. The problem for Tesla is that they invested so much into it that it needs to sell in big numbers. I don't see how it can do that. It's not practical enough.
I mean this is big and has a "bed" so let's call this truck. But as a truck, this is a really bad one. Unless you belong to the poser market, then it's a great "truck" for you.
@@induction7895 Why is it a bad one? Given it has range limitations. Growing pains as BEV trucks mature. There are plenty F150 ish trucks from other brands. Why crap on Tesla for breaking the mold.
If you are going to buy the IDBus at Garnet VW, I would love for you to do a meet and greet event!❤
How about talking about what you like about the truck versus just every video being about what you hate about it. It’s an American design American made. Vehicle We should be proud of.
Well that was a great video. Makes me rethink 2 motor vs 3 motor.
They had 3 years to work it out. To think that it is 10% smaller than original concept. 😮
I found the CT tires have short tread blocks when new. We'll see how mine do. Have 2,000 miles so far, and they look new still. Not doing a lot of drag racing.
You guys already knew how Tesla rolls . Now don’t complain.
Brain dead take
When can I buy it from you guys?
There's an absolute ton for sale on car gurus. Guys are losing money on them to unload them if you want one
ya the VW ID Buzz is going to be the hot ev of the year,, looking forward to driving it.
Roman, I love you guys. You do a hell of a job. Tesla, not a fan, but I do love the Happy Birthday United States of America wrap. Good to get rid of the frigidaire look. Thanks for all the great reviews.
Love the wrap ❤
I'll say your CT does have more trim issues than mine has. I'm sure Tesla will repair. I waiting a few months and will have anything that develops repaired in one go.
It will be interesting to see if all the issues get repaired in the first year.
Leave the wrap. It is not political, it is patriotic !
I have no gripe with the flag/design of the wrap. My gripe is that you wrapped it in the first place. If I remember correctly you said you were going to keep it unwrapped so you could see how the finish aged over time.
Yea... Roman *says* alot of things. He's also said, multiple times now.. they NEVER take money from an OEM... meanwhile TFL ran paid Nissan ads for an entire month straight not that long ago... I guess Roman thinks we're clueless or have amnesia 🤷
Can u sand down the corners
Tesla is going to release a statement saying they are no longer enforcing the no resale clause. Why? Probably because the FS AWD trim can’t be resold for a profit after nearly 8-months on the market. That ship has already sailed.
I want to tfl and out of spec get together and do a video on driving a round America. Electric vehicle vacation road trip. Both companies can share and try different charging styles that will be shared knowledge with on the road editing.
Tfl can try out the evs that they haven't had much time with.
So, in the end, you like the Cybertruck because…it generates income for your business? Lots of clicks and views? How about liking it as a $100k vehicle given all the flaws and issues?
So, should I replace my Ford Lighting Platinum for Cybertruck? Will it make me happy?
Why the hell would you ask ANYONE if something would make YOU happy?
How well will the doors open during an icestorm/snowstorm? Sometimes it's difficult to open doors when their frozen shut with a door handle.
I don't need a handle... It has a button, much less chance of freezing up.
Roman I love the wrap. I agree not a fan of stainless on a few truck
The Cyber truck is a "refrigerator on wheels". LOL I saw a Cyber truck in my neighborhood and it was a tank!
Love the wrap. The Stars and Stripes should not be political or looked at that way.
The wrap looks freaking amazing!
It wouldn’t be a Tesla if it didn’t have panel gap, falling apart, or misaligned 😂😂😂
Virtual locker ist Torque Vectoring. Offroad nothing is better than torque vectoring!
Since they had you sign a thing to where you cant sell it for a year, you should do another video like this to see how it holds up over the course of a year.
Also, keep the wrap, it adds character to the otherwise characterless "truck"
Nice to see TFL finally ADMIT the CYBETRUCK🇺🇸 is AWESOME 💪... Tesla is perfecting it every day ! UNLIKE the other MFTRS....
Might as well keep the wrap on until you guys sell it. You'll probably find an interested buyer quickly who wants a unique one.
My son and I like the wrap. We think you should leave it on :)
I would really like to see an explanation as to how an American flag wrap on an American vehicle driven by Americans makes it a political statement. FYI, this question is coming from a moderate Mainer.
Resale value like furniture all dented LOL
The pedal cover was coming off because. The drivers racing the truck, were stomping on the pedal. Its been proofed for that.
If you guys are going to PA to pick up the VW, you should stop by!
If you seriously only make your money from TH-cam and you keep all those people employed then you get a big thumbs 👍 up.
Wait are the ID Buzz reservable yet? Or is that due to being a car review/news source?
That's way too many problems for a vehicle over 75k. Actually that's too many for a 25k vehicle. Nice job Tesla not only is it the ugliest vehicle in existence it is terrible.
Is the tire wear issue similar to the model S with the camber unevenly wearing the tread?
FYI Europe, Australia, Japan etc you've been able to buy FSD but you'll only get autopilot. It was promised in 2022 - Tesla shouldn't take the money without being able to deliver!!
If the American flag is political, I will assume every flag of another county here is also a political statement.
The wrap does make it look better. However, can’t believe I wanted one but by the end of last year I had concluded it was maybe a great attempt at some new but a failure as a vehicle except some features that might go on with another better vehicle. Image how great it would have been in the something the size of 1990s size Tacoma with a real pickup look using.
The CT exists because it is a technology demonstrator. Tesla packed lots of 'new to Tesla' things into this truck. Some are well received others not so much. It was never designed to be a global high production vehicle. It is rather amazing that people are still buying Foundation Series. 8 months after first sales people are still making PROFITABLE TH-cam videos about it. If Tesla did as you suggested and made a more convention pickup people would have been done talking about it in a month or less. Just like the pickups you are suggesting.
The CT is also a halo car for Tesla. Seen a comment from a guy who visited a Tesla showroom to see the CT and bought a modes S. I suspect this is the reason Tesla is showing the CyberTruck in most countries with significant car sales.
Can't wait till you doing a towing test with the chev ev rst similar money.
Full self driving is banned at the minute. So you must wait for the state/federal laws to change.
What law allows FSD on the other 4 vehicles Tesla sells but not the Cybertruck?
Lol wow.
A flag is political? The truck looks good in the wrap and it’s made in the USA. Don’t see the issue
When you wanted to show what’s on his arm I thought it was just another hideous tattoo
No obvious tats What a pleasant change from all other videos
How is the flag political? Be proud of the American flag.
Your wrap looks great , I saw one last week in a light teal 🤢and what I would say to someone that feels the Stars and Stripes are too political , would violate your community standards 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
