Needs extra protection from salt ? Here in canada quebec, roads are covered with salt almost half of the year. This will not age well in here...
This is the new hummer
I feel like you're making excuses Ryan because you are such a big Tesla fan. To me this is acceptable if it was a $30-$40k car but for a vehicle over $100k these problems are NOT acceptable. They must do better
LOL… tell that to the 2 million people that have ordered them.😂😂😂
30 to 40k is ok 😂😂 as if that's not a lot of money. get real
@@G41251many have cancelled their orders, including myself.
@@G41251 yeah. Ordered but do NOT have them yet. Hopefully Tesla makes sure the quality is up to snuff before delivery
@@G41251Two million people may have a reservation. 2 million people will not actually pick it up.
Cybertruck: I AM A BEAST AND WIMPY BULLETS CANNOT HURT ME! 💪💪😤
Also Cybertruck: Wahh I'm wet! Help me I'm rusting! 😭😭😂
after all, it is CYBERPUNK themed. Did you see any vehicles in Mad Max that were rust free.... 😆
Imagine trying to plug in your EV in the mad max world.
Mad max is not a cyberpunk world setting. It was set after the oil wars
Just an FYI.... Stainless steel was named "stainless" when it was invented. It was never designed to be rust free. That is it was formulated to "stains less" than a mild or high carbon steel. Never originally meant to never rust.
Do you remember the "grill test"? In the market for a stainless steel grill, you would go through home depot with a magnet. If the magnet stuck, it was low quality stainless. I wonder if the magnet sticks to this. This truck is a bust.
If something is "painless" there is no pain, if someone is "clueless" they have no clue, if something is "stainless" it's supposed to have no stains. It may have been misnamed from the start but the idea that it stains "less" does not follow common grammar.
Wrong... I am have a masters degree in metallurgy. If you are ignorant about a topic it's best not to comment and display your ignorance. @@JRP3
@@happo_time Indeed, and your ignorance about word structure is on display for all to see. Notice I made no comment on metallurgy at all.
There are absolutely steel formulations available that are “stainless”. This steel is obviously not. In the knife world there are quite a few steel formulas that are extremely rust resistant.
“Built for any planet” gave me a chuckle ngl. This thing won’t survive a single winter.
Tip: Settings > Safety > Frunk > Close tension Sensor > Calibrate to your desired strength for reverse open
Because tesla can't get that right..😂😂😂😂
So if the frunk chops off your kid’s fingers it’s YOUR fault if you don’t calibrate the sensor? 🤨
Is that even legal? Announcing a car with X amount of range and capabilities knowing they didn't have the tech to do it and causing their stock value to rise? I mean I get in trouble if I forget to report small income gained on interest in my tax return but these guys can announce a car with numbers pulled out of their ass and increase their net worth by billions. Doesn't seem right.
Dont forget that its insane not to buy a Model 3 because you can send it out at night to work for you as a robotaxi. It will make you $30K per year! Oh, and the semi (remember that?) 'beats rail'.
@@chriswright9096and you can make $300k on a $30k model x in 10 years time.
Not to mention that’s enough money to buy the tesla roadster that’ll have over 1000km of range, a sub 1 second 0-60, and thats only the least interesting part of the car
The tire cover and rear camera issues are really egregious. How they didn’t catch those in testing I’ll have no idea. Safety 1st?
They did catch the wheel cover issue because it has that rubber edge. They just rushed production on something that needed more R&D. They specially designed a tire for these wheels and it seems they didn’t spend enough time on it.
@@Dbk416that’s the point. Designed but never actually tested it.
No, it's not the most egregious failing or omission by far. The Cyber Truck has not been submitted for any standardized crash testing of any sort. Neither the NHTSA nor the IIHS have been presented with one of these vehicles for evaluation.
I quizzed Jason from Engineering Explained on this topic, following his review in which he failed to mention this. In all fairness, that seems par for the course with Cyber Truck reviewers. His response was along the lines of "I forgot to mention that, but there's a sticker on the truck that says that the vehicle has not been independently tested for crash worthiness".
Yeah, the reversing camera is bad, the tyre cover is worse, but no crash test rating? Wow.
No. Money first and then maybe safety!
This reminds me of the 737 Max 9 door-plug blow-out, that grounded those planes.
A tire blowout could crash the Cybertruck, at highway speeds.
“The pioneers (Early Adopters) get the arrows”. I still own my 2013 Model S, Teslas first vehicle they designed and built (Roadster doesn’t count, since it was a Lotus Elise body).. I’ve lost count to service center visits, at least 30.. door handle replacements, motor replacement, front screen replacement, battery pack replacement (it still worked but the electronics developed a ground fault). Lesson: Never, Ever be an early adopter unless you understand what your getting in to.
I guess I'm an "early adopter" of the new Highland except it's an improvement on an existing product unlike CT which is entirely new to planet Earth.
As simple as that
I like beta testing games but would never beta test a car.
@@vihreelinja4743 Agreed. I have to hope the true beta testing for the Highland was done in Europe and China ;)
if you’re rich, then who cares….
I feel the most unacceptable issue is the review camera without a washer. Living in the North Woods of WI with salt slurry used on the snowy and icy roads (all winter) would make this vehicle undrivable. FYI I have reserved a dual motor Cybertruck and I hope this issue is resolved ASAP.
Not a chance. The former cars are still waiting for a solution...
To me, the biggest issue is the range. If you promise 500 miles of range and struggle to deliver 250 (some are only seeing 200), that's simply unacceptable.
The other issue is the stainless steel body. I'm sorry, Tesla needs to solve that problem. The good thing is they simply need to paint the body with a clear coat to do so.
There won't be a solution for the camera. Don't hold your breathe on that.
Then you shouldn't buy it otherwise we'll only hear another bad review. In my opinion, CT is only perfect for people living in sunny california or Miami.
Yea, its just habit for me to walk by the rear of my Model Yp and wipe off the rear camera. No, the Model Yp doesn't have a panel over the rear window, but it is small and hard to see of. Especially with someone in the rear center seat.
So, don't expect Tesla to fix their products to be better if they can't do it through software. They won't lift more than a finger.
The truck is not rusting. That is rail dust and industrial fallout on the body. Get a bottle of iron remover spray it on and rinse.
And stuff like this is why I waited a bit before putting in my pre-order. I want one, but not until they work through the early issues.
the questionable rear view doesn't bother me, but I do HVAC/R work, and have been driving full size vans with no rear view mirror or camera for 30 years without issue.
Aren't you a little old to want one of these teeny bopper toys for boyz.
7:35 “Known to break vehicles” however none of the Rivians there had any issues. Source: I was there. 😂
Franklin I go back to the DeLorean days and I can assure you stainless steel as a hassle. It’s not a good idea they should all be painted. You can make it out of stainless steel but paint it.
Since you know more than elon go apply for a job at tesla 😂
@@itisimWouldn't matter. Elon doesn't listen to anyone and fires people who disagree with him.
You can acrylic it as some has done.
When I first purchased my first Escalade, when Escalades were 80K, it had a 3-inch hairline scratch on one of the panels. I was livid, after a long conversation with management the issue was resolved in a week plus free oil change for one year. I would love a Cyber truck but I don't have the temperament to own one. If I see rust within a month of purchase at a price tag of 100k
As many have mentioned it's not the cyber truck it's self is rusting but ferrous dust or flecks that stick to the stainless steel and rust this can be seen on some white cars too
They always say never buy a new car in its first year of production
That goes double, triple for the Cybertruck
To be honest, all of Tesla's other car launches have had more issues than the CT and worse QC. But it's not just ironing out the kinks. Tesla releases improvements on future iterations and battery efficiencies tied to the manufacturing and not software. Buying a later CT ensures a more feature rich, higher performance, safer, and reliable vehicle.
Sounds like a good argument for a restored or restomod Ford F-100. Saw a real nice one the other day.
I'm never buying a vehicle with a giant screen glued to the dash. I want real controls...
Tesla thought Cybertruck would’ve been their halo car however now it’s just become an embarrassment. They should’ve focused on their model 2 instead and brought it about sooner.
Embarrassment to you. It's still the Halo car around the world. They will everyone of these they produce for years to come.
💯 What's even more sad is that CT does not support Tesla's mission in any shape or form! Seems more like an Elon pet-project if anything and it's novelty will wear-off faster than a fake tan! 😂
@@albertofourie3294 if they had brought out the CT before the hummer and the F150, it would’ve still made an impact. It was too little too late and underwhelming which is what most people are pissed out about.
@@albertofourie3294 "to accelerate the advent of sustainable transport by bringing compelling mass market electric cars to market as soon as possible"... Cybertruck is pretty compelling.
@@achasilas6535many countries won't allow the CT on the road due to safety issues.
Tesla is so out of touch with reality... instead of making an affordable electric car that everyone can afford and sell millions of... they wasted their time on this ridiculous truck
Well, the model 3 was supposed to be affordable.
What? You mean a car that most of the world drives? You're kidding aren't you? Tesla were surely far better off building a really expensive vehicle to sell to cyber rednecks in North America, weren't they?
A rail dust remover is needed to remove rail dust, not just soap & water. I had this problem on my white Model S. The rail dust remover I used is Ferrex, made by Optimum. You spray it on, allow 1 to 2 minutes to dissolve the ferris-oxides, and then rinse with water.
Your Model S has 2 stage clear coat. CT has raw SS with no clear coat of any kind.
I have a reservation for cyber T with 500 miles. So I’m getting a 200 mile truck that rusts unless I towel dry it? This can’t be real. They are not not figuring out wheel covers now? And must use one tire
it's not like people having been screaming that Felon Muskrat is a scam artist for a decade or anything... don't worry, you can call for one of his robo-taxi's 😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣
From what Tesla's response is the truck is not rusting it is metal road debris that is rusting. You should be able to easily wax or ceramic coat the vehicle. I had the same issue with a white car with debris staining the paint that I never waxed.
Read your post before posting please.
I wondered how the wheel covers were supposed to work since they changed their shape. The new ones will be... a circle. No bits sticking out.
The things are rusting out within days of a rain means its a flaw in using materials.
Its not much of a truck if it sucks up space for batteries. Its returns get worse and worse.
And the spare wheel/tire is where?
You are surprised? Have you not been evaluating Truth vs Musk for the last ten years?
I couldn't imagine using one of these to do full time courier/delivery work up here in Canada. While the heat in the summer might not be an issue the cold,salt and reduced range from carrying any weight makes it useless in winter.
Hey Ryan, thanks for this look at the early problems. Has anyone applied ceramic coating and avoided some of these damaging pollutants? I don't know if it will adhere properly but interested to know. Cheers.
If you got it wrapped could that help prevent the rust and salt issues? Also I really wanted the solar tano truck bed cover thoughts on that coming with that feature for future cyber trucks?
People like to say a Tesla is a computer with a car attached to it. These issues really highlight that approach to design. Many of these problems would not happen in a car designed by a car company (at least those with a reputation for making reliable vehicles).
I like what you have to say, but where are the manufacturers that have trucks whose frames don't rust through in 5 years on salted roads?
@@bearlemley I live in eastern Canada. Roads are covered in salt all winter and there is no shortage of 10 to 15 year old trucks (and cars) that are far from rusted out. Over the years my I have had four cars that I kept for over ten years. Only the Datsun rusted out. The other only had minor surface rust.
Lol
@@davesutherland1864this sounds very unlikely.
@@buddyreynolds8036 My Subarus do just fine in winter salt. Just go through a car wash in the spring and you can easily go 10+ years without rust issues. Sure the backup camera gets blocked easily in winter but they also have mirrors and a big rear window so that camera is a luxury not a necessity.
Honestly... just going to let its surface do its thing if I can get one of these. Stainless steel is the standard for use in pools wich use highy corrosive sanitizers. The material can see surface spotting, (rusting) in a minimal surface condition but that should never compromise the integrity of the material so f'ck it, the truck is going to do work and get scratched, etc. I think its going to look badass when its aged.
the peeps talking about the wrap preventing rust, well, yes, it will hide the defects, but the rust will continue to develop (underneath) and will eventually "surface-plate" and penetrate the wrap. I've had my lab for 45 years and Tesla is one of my clients. There's NO way to prevent this, as the oxides within the feedstock is impossible to remove. Rail-dust is B/S!!
Ryan, do you have any info on what's going on with Model Y pricing? I noticed that the online configurator does not allow you to configure a Model Y, it only goes to existing stock! Do you think this means that they are clearing out stock to make room for the Juniper Model Y refresh? There is also news that Tesla slashed prices in Canada on Model Y. I know Elon said last week that Juniper will not arrive until late '24 or even into '25 but I suspect he said that to make sure people do not postpone buying the current Model Y.
I have done a lot of metal finishing--it is very hard to refinish a small part of a raw metal panel and get it to look like the rest of the panel--it comes out too shiny or with a visibly different grain or swirls--... or something that does not want to match up.
i'd say eventueally they will all be wrapped
Shut up and stop criticizing Lord God Elon.
@@larky368 it's Guru Musk! Show some respect!
Does it support three pedal driving?
Even on paint ferrous particals will cause rust.
I beg to differ.... I parked my Infiniti at work for 5 years in visible sight of the Ford Plant with Smoke stacks laying particles all over my car. It left little brown rust spots all over the car and I never buffed or attempted to remove them as it was an OLD car. Those spots never got bigger and remained there for years until I Polished at sale time. It didn't progress by leaving it.... probably because of PAINT.
If you want a traditional finish just have the truck painted or wrapped. I for one would have it painted. I used to say that about the Delorean too and everyone hated it. Painting a Delorean black would have made all the bumper bits blend in.
No, grow up!!
@@HDHQDIRECTyeah this is exactly what is happening to the CT.... The rust is part of the contaminants on the surface not the actual body...
11:46 The thousands of cube vans on the road are surviving just fine without rear camera ....
Unlike the CyberTruck, box vans, semi trucks, buses, and gas pickup trucks have functional side view mirrors.
The surfaces on the truck are so flat, I would immediately recover it with a wood laminate and call it the Nature model. 🤗🌲
You'd lose 30% range if you increase weight.
@@rebelaqua823If you were concerned with weight, you would not be shopping for a pickup truck in the first place. The thing is skinned in _steel,_ not aluminum.
Sooooo glad I cancelled my pre order.
I wonder if you can get a 3rd part company to laser etch your CT
Yes, no problems doing it.
I can't wait! I am ready to order when they have a 500 mile version and can charge in 40 minutes to full. It's gotta be 500 at least because since it's made by Tesla, you can only count on half that range.
Rust was the first thing that came into my mind when I first heard about it being made of raw stainless. I own several things made of different grade stainless and they all rust if not cleaned/treated regularly, even though much slower than standard steel.
The incompetent comments of a whiner.
There's also the phenomena of anoxic corrosion of stainless which happens often in a high salinity low oxygen environment.
We have stainless kn machines at work, never seen rust. But its a heavy material, they should have gone for some bulletproof kevlar or something instead in the doors if that is why they choose stainless.
Bearded Tesla Guy has a great video covering this and how to clean the surface. Like paint, maintenance is required.
How would you dry out the internal side of the body from daily car wash .
paper towels
Hey Ryan, I got my cybertruck yesterday in Sacramento. It rained, and it was kind of a pain to clean and dry. I will be wrapping this truck this week.
I would talk to the warp people to see if there is a surface protection that can be applied ahead of the wrap to further protect the truck from moisture.
Oh goody you just spent $ 120,000 now go out and spend at least $ 7,000 more, just sad.
@@nicholasmuni7995 -- I totally agree. I'm not hating, that's just a lot of money upfront for a truck that dosen't have enough range. I have a 2023 Model 3 LR and love it. But, I'm not letting Tesla off the hook on cleaning up their fit/finish issues and lack of battery range. I predict that if Lucid can deliver their third car which will be a smaller SUV, and it msrp's for about 50k, Tesla will have some trouble because the lack of battery range to "really" get the full benefit of our cars is getting old fast!
@@nicholasmuni7995 lol..exactly!
Seems crazy you need to wipe down an industrial-looking truck every time it rains - that seems just wrong.
Relax folks, I'm on my sixth Toyota 4x4 truck (starting in 1979, over 1 million miles combined) and number 4 had to have the front axle engagement electronic actuator replaced after a couple of hundred miles, some components break right out of the box, OBTW, I have a Cyberbeast configured and I'm never going back to ICE..........
It seems like you're trying to convince yourself that you're making a solid purchase. Did you pay $100k for the Toyota? I'm asking as someone who has two EVs and a PHEV in the family, including a Tesla Model YLR. Having to go out and wipe your truck down after every rainfall is simply unacceptable. If you've got that much time on your hands, good for you!
Let’s revisit that certainty after a couple of years of ownership.
I'm not going to get the calculator out to do the math but 1 million miles across six vehicles since 1979 is roughly 63 years right across my four vehicles that I currently have I do 100,000 miles per year not including the motorcycle and therefore I must drive somewhere in the area of what is that six times as much force or whatever but anyway the point is when you don't drive all that much you can get away with electric easily perfectly fine for the poster but for everybody else who's looking if you drive a lot it's a whole different ball game if you're a heavy driver it's a whole different deal these are vehicles for people who basically don't drive the car very much anyway
@@dontbanmebrodontbanme5403how do we know you need to wipe down after every rain? Thats made up speculation.
if you think your battery is going to last anywhere near that mileage, I have some sad news for you...
lithium batteries don't last a long time. fast charging? degrades the battery. cold? degrades the battery. sitting there? degrades the battery. aggressive discharging? you get the point...
2.5% per year on average. if you start at 300mi, you will lose approx. 7.5mi/year in range.
if you had 6 trucks since 1979, that's an average of 7.5 years per truck. after 7.5 years of the CT, you will have lost 56mi of range, leaving you with 244mi, but requiring the same charge time as it did when new... and that's provided you do everything to prolong battery life.
there is no mention of the cost of the battery, but it is roughly 3 times the capacity of the range extender, so let's assume 3x the cost of $16,000, which is $48,000, even though it's a full vehicle disassembly, not a drop in solution.
off-roading with it? 7000lbs pushing down onto a sharp rock and you puncture the battery, lithium will ignite and burn your vehicle. hopefully you can escape, but with electric doors...
All these points plus the slow charging, the currently disabled autopilot, and only an idiotic 'use the bed' option for a spare kept me from taking up my Foundation Series offer. We'll see where it's at when my number comes up for real, leaning towards Rivian though...
The $16K “extended battery”, will of course increase charging time.
For the rust, all you need is a basic iron remover. Every car drives through a bath of ferrous metals every day. If you ever spray iron remover on a car after it's been driven for a year, you'll see a ton of contamination that melts away. you can buy a gallon of the turtle tax rapid decon for 50 bucks, and that will last awhile
Asking owners to remove road salt ASAP is simply idiotic. It's only possible if the vehicle is parked inside. If you park outside, it means covering your vehicle with a thick layer of ice if the temperature is below freezing.
I think Tesla needs to implement the same feature on the rear view camera as the F1 cars with a rotating sphere lens cover that keeps getting wiped.
The DeLorean used the same 304 stainless steel on its panels so a great source of information is on DeLorean forums.
Those owners also have issues with rust spots but it doesn’t ultimately damage the SS. It’s just a pain to maintain if you like it looking flawless.
I was one of the first DeLorean owners. I purchased a second one about 30 years ago and that one has sat outside all that time. NO, it’s not the same grade of stainless steel. Nothing has damaged the surface. If something ferrous lays on it that will rust and a bit will lay in the grain of the SS but is easily wiped off. I suspect the flat Cybertruck panels show contaminants more than the shaped D panels but painted vehicles would appear the same.
There is a reason why the industry standard is to paint vehicles and why we haven't seen any stainless steel ones since the DeLorean.
par for the course but not in a rush at all to get mine. really hoping to actually see the extender pack performance before taking delivery.
This has become a Tesla Q site.
They may end up looking better over time by not cleaning rust spots and stains at all.
Yes, Cheetah finish. Who cares how the body looks, I never wash my cars.
Kind of a Mad Max Camo look!
Finally something to go larping in.
Thanks Ryan.
Rust dust from railroad.. do vehicles have some plastic rap on while transport than is pealed off at dealership?
They used to be shipped with a greasy wax like coating. I'm not sure whether that is still the case. But when I say "used to", now that I think about it, that was nearly 40 years ago.
I'm surprised I have seen one yet around San Diego
Wait for when the public finds FFR of that main display screen. Not the worst part in the Cybertruck, but it is totally not at an acceptable level considering that the first failures happened already in the first month after deliveries to the public (about 100 delivered at that point of time).
👀 2:50 I have to add your main screen to the list.
Do you try the carot cut on Gm or Ford 😅
The hood would bend
@@OldDirtyRobotwe need a test video
great review of initial fixes needed to Cyber truck. No doubt a severe miss not being able to spray rear facing camera clean, when cover adds to already very low milage fror this initial launch. Seems to me that this and the battery range will frustrate most everyone getting truck now.
A 400 mile range would probably be what everyone would need and 450 even better if towing
Even my $38K Subaru Crosstrek has a rear view camera sprayer. Of course it has an interior rear view mirror as well.
Does it hold a full-size spare tire?
No
I wonder if the "Foundation" version is the same as the Signature series for the X. That thing had actually totally different parts... body panels all kinds of stuff. Parts which there are no replacements. So you kind of got screwed paying extra to truly be one of the first folks taking delivery...
Doesn't Tesla test the cars before production?
No, the public does
No that’s one of the reasons they’re known for poor fit finish and quality to this very day.
@@XX-166 Years ago when I was a mechanic we'd see them test the cars all over the world in all temperatures around proving grounds and driven for hundreds of thousands of miles and monitor them throughout then take them apart and assess every part, they still made some shitty cars but they tried their best, I guess it's all done on a computer simulator now.
@@dubsydubs5234 that’s how the profits margins are increased… computers are cheaper then real world experiences especially when there’s no concern for the real world.
I think the missing back-cam washer is because of the tailgate hinge would complicate the hose. But it's important to have offroad, so Tesla should fix it.
CT will never be painted, but wrapping from factory would be great to protect the steal & nice to get different colors.
Then you incorporate the washer bottle and pump into the tailgate. How easy was that!
Thanks Haven't had anything on Jazz Exhibition for a while ???
scotch bright would scratch the fuk out of that lol
I enjoy your videos for the latest Tesla news but the hyperbolic captions are getting annoying.
Hold a second, who the hell sticks their finger under a dropping hood/trunk of ANY vehicle?
little kids who runs around vehicles, people not paying attention etc... have you never heard of someone slamming their fingers in a door? do you think they did that on purpose?
A child.
My kids stick their fingers in the closing door of our van all the time. I'm glad it had safety features
Glad I canceled my reservation and decided to wait a bit. It was mostly a price decision but seems like it was the right call for now.
If Tesla can get cheap plastic hub caps right what does that tell you about the rest of “truck”
500 miles range will make it happen with original specifications so relax until this happens before taking delivery? Not a rush when you are outside US you will wait and watch while other Ev's enter the 4x4 and/or higher drivers position market
Lol, well that is what you pay 100k as a beta tester.
The truck was not ready to come out. Elon eventually drop the truck due to pressure. But I don’t think enough testing was done.
It is like that with any Tesla car, isn't it ?
@@paulf3353 if that’s the case then I can say the same about ford or big GM. They do have the most recall after all. Right? No excuses for them?
You have the right to your opinion but it is not based in fact.
Clearly not, Einstein! Either not enough testing done or the results were ignored. But the worst crime of the lot is that no independent crash testing analysis has been performed.
No data from the NHTSA nor the IIHS. Just a sticker on the vehicle saying that this vehicle has not been tested. How much contempt for their customers can a company have?
I can just see Musk in a boardroom meeting saying to his contemporaries: "It will be better and cheaper if we just collect data from real crashes where real humans get maimed and killed".
@@flaymil5373 Do other OEMs ship unfinished products sometimes - yes. But with Tesla it is every model they do.
And FYI amount of recalls is not indicative of anything. Tesla for example has very bad design flaws on some cars, which are dangerous, but they're not recalls in the US for example.
Pretty sure EVERY vehicle manufacturer expects (recommends) that you look after the body finish to a similar extent.
I would not be overly concerned. I use SS cookwear which has a slightly harder life that the exterior of a Cybertruck, I'd imagine!
It cleans up just fine with a mildly abrasive pad or cleaner.
I use a mildly abrasive cleaning pad on the duco of my current conveyance and it looks just fine!
Bit of a nothing-burger, if you ask me.
does your cookware often get blasted by rocks and dust and road chemicals?
Yeah, great, a car with the look of a frying pan.
First vehicle always has problems... i always said to my customer wait two or three years to buy..
I just don't get it, why it does not get a clear coating for protection.
Ryan, thanks for the great video update on CT!
I have pretty much watched all the referenced videos of analysis have come to the same conclusions.
In the words of Elon, "Production is hard", so true as half my 60 years was spent working in some form of production.
I am glad my reservation will not be available until 09/2026. This will allow time for maturity, and maybe I will follow through with a purchase?
RAM REV is set for its daybreak soon. I also have a reservation for it, though, Iam sure we will see the pain and growns here too!
Keep up the great work!!
Johm
My god the finger prints on the doors in some of the videos are showing.
Unacceptable that Tesla is letting brand new orders with referral credits skip ahead of others who ordered on day one. I've owned 4 Teslas and I'm a shareholder, but this is unacceptable in my opinion
Make money at the expense of the customers in line I also own stock this sucks!
I’ll hang onto my reservation for now but unlikely I’ll follow through solely based on range unless that increases substantially
Check range after you put on 5 adults and their luggage. :)
How du you use rearview camera mirror, if the screen goes into black?? 🤣🤣
They should just make an Aluminum body version. Will reduce weight, improve range, and be paintable.
Aluminium is corroding too btw.
That is likely to require different castings as the CT incorporates the skin into the frame strength. That weight would need to be returned to the frame if the aluminum skin was not structural. I don't see any gains.
@@danharold3087 that exoskeleton nonsense was a pipe dream. Skin on this offers no structure. In fact, they reduced the thickness of the original planned stainless steel.
But assuming you’re correct - in that case, make a regular steel skin version that can be painted.
@@Meatball2022 I did not use the term exoskeleton as there is not a single definition.
The skin on the CT contributes to stiffness as well as crash crumple. One of the in factory videos mentions how much stiffness comes from the sail and how much crumple is provided by the front fender.
Wax or the modern equivalent of wax the vehicle and all these horrible rust problems are history.
@@danharold3087 I saw that video mentioning the sail. I think that’s a factor of positioning and angle moreso than material. But regardless - they really should figure out some sort of option outside of spending 6k on a wrap…
eh, I am going to pass on my cybertruck order. Ill wait for gen2.
That makes the most sense. THey'll have Gen 1 user feedback an make a ton of changes for Gen 2. Rust? That is NUTS.
They can fix most of these problems with current production lines without needing a gen 2.😊
@@malcolmrickarby2313 With a software update? :) I'm a MYLR driver.
It’s not about the range but the efficiency is horrible per someone I know who rented a CT recently.
Also, It is why CT can never be a work truck if it lacks parts availability and timely services
How was the tire cover wear not found in testing!?!
The vehicle was either subjected to a very inadequate testing and evaluation process or the fault was found and simply ignored. Either way, you are looking at a product that after at least 4 years of development has still been rushed to market with glaring faults.
Yes, I think it’s completely BS that people who didn’t reserve their vehicle till sometime ago can get their truck before me when I immediately ordered it. I wish I would’ve done it more immediately but I did it in less than 20 minutes. Don’t remember exactly now February 18 already configuring on December 8, still no Vin number😢
You did not order… you put in a refundable reservation… big difference. Tesla can do as they please and they are deciding to milk as much money as they can. Don’t worry you will be allowed to paid $100k very very soon.
Now is your opportunity to cancel and by a real truck.
You expect Musk to treat you fairly?
Good video. Makes me happy I will never own a CT.
Yes I wish that my Model Y would have a rear view camera washing spray, found out one day trying to back my car into a parking spot and could not see.
Watch out for road salt in the rust belt where vehicles are ready for recycling in 12 years unless never driven during the winter.
I think I'll wait a few years before ordering, but I'm not that far away from retiring either. Did the Delorean have these corrosion problems?
It was luxury car this is suppose be everyday use truck
@@MrWallace484
How many purchases do you think will be made by people who use it as a “every day use truck”?
I’m going to bet on ZERO.
Funny how you just had to put in a shot of the Lightning in the shop. Come on, any and all cars have to go to the shop. I ditched my model 3P for a Lightning extended range and I am loving it. My truck has lockers for off road and service centers all over the place. Also, Tesla charging coming any day now. No desire for a CT
Excellent
So you wound think, since Tesla has been testing this truck for about 2 years now, there should be no surprises. Ceramic coating may be needed to stop all those issues.
Its only a matter of time before someone loses a finger in that auto closing lid.
I want to see what the Cybertruck looks like after a year without treating the exterior.
Wow... Deja vu... This is Teslas MO. Get it out then work out the kinks over the next 24 months. Im happy I have a late reservation for this very reason.
Imagine these cameras after driving in the northeast in the winter?
I do not like that single Huge Windshield Wiper
What about just protecting it with car wax?
Let’s not forget that rust usually starts from beneath the vehicle. So areas that you cannot see will be rusting long before anything on the surface, especially if you drive in a salty environment winter time in the north. Oh if you live near the ocean… it will be even worse
But the CT is not rusting. It's rust from something else collecting on the vehicle - like dust, flies etc.
@@iainmrodgers9991so it's not rusting, but rusting? 🤔
@@theMedicatedCitizenIt's not rusting at all.
Do you understand what rusting is? It's when metal reacts with oxygen.
If rust from somewhere else collects on the surface of a metal, that metal is not rusting.
@@theMedicatedCitizen Using your logic you better throw all your furniture out because it's turning to dust.
@@iainmrodgers9991 flies don't rust, genius, they cause rust... glad you responded twice in two hours, must have hit a nerve. also, just because it is called stainless steel, doesn't mean it won't rust or stain. SS gets it's 'stainless' properties mainly from the chromium content, but there is still iron in it, and if not alloyed properly, will rust. It's a cheap shit alloy Tesla made to save buck and fool rubes, have fun with it.
It was supposed to compete with ICE pickups, never! 35-55K gets you a decent 1/2 ton ice with no towing or range anxiety. Here it is 60k plus 5K wrap, 65k for the base model with average range won’t outcompete ICE trucks.
Awesome video! Thanks for showcasing some of the early issues we Cybertruck owners are facing! Also funny to see my truck in this video multiple times!
"uncharted territory for a stainless steel car" um you know DeLoreans exist right? and one of their biggest issue is needing the body resurfaced over the years at a cost of 10k or so
Game terms... its like releasing a game at full price on release day only to fibd that the consumer are paying full price for a beta test.
