"Is that real?" A woman standing next to the 2024 Tesla Cybertruck outside a hotel in Venice, California, is pretty certain she's looking at an escaped movie prop. "Like, is there a car underneath that?" she asks. We inform her that yes, it is real, but if any vehicle will cause you to question objective reality, it's this one. To those of us who are into cars, it seems like the Cybertruck has been around forever—it was announced in November 2019 and has been in the news seemingly every day since. But for a sizable segment of the population, this may as well be an alien lander or an escaped military project. It looks like it drove out of the Home Depot Andromeda in the year 3000 carrying a pallet of nano armor for the ol' fusion recombiner back at the Demogorgon Ranch. When the door opens, you half expect to see the driver's seat occupied by a hologram. The Cybertruck is the craziest production car of the century, and second place isn't even close.

It's like it fell out of an Ugly Tree and hit every branch on the way down.

Lol, the dual steer motor quip about airplane reminds me of an old saw about twin engine aircraft: Don't worry, if one engine fails, the second has more than enough power to get you to your crash site.

Why don't you run it through a carwash

The loose bolt is an easter egg, congratulations on finding it.

I love that the biggest, heaviest vehicles are the ones that don't have to report their stats.

Minecraft called and doesn't want its truck back.

“It’s a pickup truck; it’s not made for two-lane roads.” I dunno, two-lane roads are just about everyone in the American west. A visibility problem on two-lane roads is a big problem if you are doing normal truck things.

I'll rent one next time I visit Gotham City.

The Delorean & Pontiac Aztec had a baby and named it Cybertruck

Apparently the wheel covers have been recalled because the covers were cutting into the sidewall of the tire. And speaking of tires, will an owner have to buy the funky tires from Tesla? What will the cost be for a set of new shoes for the truck?

Can you imagine a couple of ranchers driving that around covered in mud and cow manure with a 100 gallon diesel tank and a blue healer cow dog in the back? Ne neither.

Why am I watching a Tesla video brochure?

Having everything on the screen is absurdly annoying to me. California car guys always review these things in perfect conditions/"ideal" offroad conditions. Salt/mud gonna make that rearview camera useless real quick.

Yes fly by wire in a plane seems and is safe in a plane. The aviation industry has standards and the planes are inspected and maintained quite vigorously. In some person's vehicle I feel after time these systems will be prone to issues from improper maintenance. Have you seen the miled out vehicles on the roads today? When the cost to maintain these systems is seen some people will be lax in upkeep of vehicles. No mechanical backup is not a good idea.

When I see somebody driving one, I just point at them and laugh 😂 😹

@15:16 He said on visibility "it's a pick up truck not made for two lane roads"......
@mattbranham2031 hace 14 días

"if you're a fan of outward visibility....." every pedestrian gives a blank stare

Did you drive it through a car wash, or tow with it ,
@AuralioCabal-nl8gi hace 14 días

Jason Camissa of Hagertty, he was as impressed as Carlos I think.
