Why I'm buying a Cybertruck!

But is it all style over substance? Or does the Cybertruck stand up as a fully-fledged pick-up that can compete with all-electric competitors like the Rivian R1T & Ford F-150 Lightning?
Well, let’s find out by taking a closer look! When it comes to the exterior design, there’s no denying the Cybertruck is one of the most eye-catching vehicles in the world! Sure some people complain about gaps in the body panels and the straight edges, but there’s no denying it looks like it’s time-travelled back from the future. The stainless steel panels make it super tough, and the full-length light bars at the front and back only help to make it stand out further.
Step inside and the interior is classic Tesla. Bar some buttons on the steering wheel everything is controlled through the huge infotainment screen on the dash. This can be annoying at times, but there’s no denying this screen is super slick and very responsive. Otherwise, the build quality is pretty solid, with soft-touch materials throughout most of the cabin. There’s even a small infotainment screen in the back, too!
When it comes to performance, there are three editions of the Cybertruck you can buy. A single motor, dual motor, and tai-motor ‘Cyberbeast’ edition! The latter edition can produce 845hp and 930Nm of torque, and all this costs just $96,000! But of course, this edition is also super heavy, tipping the scales at 3,084kg!
So what do you think - have you learnt to love the looks? Or is it just too much? Let us know in the comments!

Rate the Cybertruck out of 10!
-
Not having to worry about keeping the paint job pristine is surprisingly attractive quality.
-
I love how MKHBD said he wouldnt jump on the cover, but Mat put all his life's work into them jumpss:face-purple-crying:
-
So if I break into the Cybertruck and I break the screen, this vehicle becomes a undrivable banana.

Saab did a drive by wire decades ago and used a joystick. But they also made fighter jets with a similar set up.

MKBHD: "I'm just going to stand on the tonneau cover and not jump, because it might not hold it". Matt: * jumps on it like it's a trampoline * Love the difference 😂

"Hey guys it's made out of stainless steel, let's kick it!" The reason I love this channel 🤣🤣🤣

As nice looking as a kitchen sink

The old cars up to 1976 used to be made of steel (like Tesla Cybertruck) , they lasts better - but the people inside don’t. When a car takes an impact - the speed has to drop from (say) 40mph to ZERO within the distance by which it crumples. So if you have a big old chunky piece of iron - the front bumper might bend by a tenth of an inch and aside from some scuff marks on that shiney chrome - will basically be completely unscathed. A modern car will probably crush a foot or more - the engine may get pushed down under the driver’s feet into the ground. It will be a total wreck. However, if the modern car crushes 12 inches instead of a tenth of an inch…120 times more than the old car…then the deceleration rate will be 120 times less - and the force of the impact will also be 120 times less (Because ‘F=ma’ - force equals mass times acceleration). So in a steel car - you die a horrible death as your internal organs smack into your rib cage and your brain hits the front of your skull. The car is more or less OK - so the new owner wipes off the worst of the blood splatter and is impressed at how the car survived the impact. In today new car ( besides Tesla Cybertruck) - you climb out of the twisted wreck with some bruises and a sprained ankle - and spend the next month bitching about how modern cars can’t survive accidents as well. Today’s cars are engineered to absorb energy in a crash; instead of going from 40–0 in an instant, the car’s front end collapses slowing the car down a little at a time while the passenger compartment is designed to divert energy around the passengers to the rear, engines break downwards instead of into the front occupant’s lap, it’s steering column buckles instead of transferring energy into the driver’s chest. It can mean walking away from a car accident verses a long hospital stay, or a long hospital stay verses a quick trip to the morgue. Vehicles with today’s modern safety tech is designed to sacrifice itself to prevent human suffering. Todays cars even have provisions to protect pedestrians that are hit by a car, there’s a certain amount of space required between the hood and any engine parts. Europe now has a standard regarding pieces extruding past body panels because it could rip a pedestrian’s legs off.

Huge shoutout to Sam the racing driver for being part of the Cybertruck experience with Mat (even lending Mat money to make an car order). I really hope we see more reviews with him, Yanni, even Mark in the near future. It just takes the entertainment to another level.

I can’t get enough of people kicking the sh*t out of a vehicle and doing basically no damage.
-
One thing I always look for in cars is kickability, thanks for testing!
-
Couple questions. 1. How is the sound system 2. Are there auxiliary switches 3. Option for step up or amp steps? 4. Center caps option if removing wheel covers? How many adjustments are on the driver seat? Did to bolster adjust Great review!
-
I mean tbh as someone that bought a car new and use it for 10-15 year. Not needing to baby the paint job and afraid of major dents is very appealing.
-
7/10 for car 10/10 for the guts to build it
-
0:18 Flawless demonstration of why the Cybertruck should not be sold in any country that cares more about safety than gimmicks.
-
Great content! Love the presentation, dude is funn!
-
I have been binge watching guys kicking cybertrucks for the past few days 😂 the random 2 dudes popping out was hilarious 🤣
-
To be honest, the Cybertruck is kind of underrated and overrated at the same time. But it is pretty refreshing to see Mat's videos on it!
-
I love the kicking. Highly therapeutic!
