Nice video!

Entry level Lightning is AWD while CT is RWD.

I will own both so can give a better comparison after I take delivery, but the Lightning is awesome. I believe I’ll love my CyberTruck though. I do love the look.

Nice video!

I originally got the Lightning as a gap vehicle until my CT came in. I have ended up liking it a lot, and given all the changes since 2019, I'm now happily keeping the Lightning and passing on the CT.

Towing - the two areas that drop your range when towing are wind resistance (the drop behind the vehicle catching the trailer) and the added weight of the trailer and materials.

We have a BYD atto 3 and recently did a towing trip with it. On general driving, without high speed (over 90kph) the range reduced by about 1/3. When towing at higher speeds (due to wind resistance) or uphill over 60kph, the range reduced by aroung 50%

I was actually very impressed by the Ford when it came out. and from what I hearing, the T3 will be serious advancement. great post as always Alex.

The implication that the primary use of trucks is long distance towing is not correct. Even those of us Lightning owners who do tow typically tow short distances, like taking my boat 10 miles to the river. Most pickup owners don't have a need to tow long distances, and if they do, they should not buy an electric anything. So, this is FUD in a comparison between the CyberTruck and the Lightning.

There was no mention of a 48V architecture. Also, you conveniently did not talk about the steer by wire advantage of the Tesla. What about the larger bed capacity with a vault? There is also storage in the bed of the Cybertruck underneath the bed, unlike the lightning. The handling and suspension are far superior on the Cybertruck over the Lightning. It is all around a more modern vehicle. I guess you don’t think FSD is a big deal either? How about factory 35” tires? This review seems extremely biased.

With the amount of reservations and ramp time needed its important to remember the current F150 is not the truck it will be competing versus in the market in the long term. The current version of the f150 lighting is only expected to have around a year of production left. The next version of Fords truck the T3 (what Ford is calling their next truck lineup) will be the main competitor. That truck will come with NACS and is suppose to come in 2025 model. So probably start seeing it in a year toward the end of 2024.

From what I have seen. Tesla will open up under used charging stations to other companies. It will help Tesla get more revenue from these locations but more importantly it will encourage Tesla to build chargers where there is little EV traffic. This will mean better coverage for everyone.

I guess those that wants to tow would opt for range extender but no need to carry all the extra batteries for the rest. Thanks for the video!

Never thought about buying an Ev until I saw the CT, i'm holding my reservation for the Awd version, saw it in person and had thoughts about driving it through the showroom window 😂 that bastard Elon is about to abuse my bank account.

I like the Cybertruck for what it is, a giant middle finger to Musk haters.

This was the funniest and IMO most unbiased reporting about the cybertruk yet.

It would be so great to have a retro interior, with knobs and buttons for stuff you need to do while driving (at night!). And maybe even have a 3-seater couch in the front!

I wonder why Tesla doesn't go for an 800V charging system like, for instance, Hyundai?

2:37 WRONG, not permanently! It’s able to be removed and reinstalled. Report it accurately Alex. 😊

Fair review. No real outrageous statements. I give this a good rating.

Range extender is brilliant. Most pickup buyers don’t even fully use the bed.

Love it, but early, there are no base cybertrucks, to compare, Lightning wins hands down, remember, NO EV can tow, any distance, and will never be able to, for 10 or 20 years. Its just math.

Not a truck; I am waiting for the MG Cyberster. I will accept NO substitutes! 😎
