Please use the cybertruck in an actual job site. Like a ranch, farm, mining, logging, or maybe an oilfield. Or try to imitate the way people use their Isuzu and Toyota pickup trucks in developing countries. It would be interesting to see how the Cybertruck handle such conditions.

I am not sure how anyone is not bringing up that a half ton with a naturally aspirated engine (no turbos) pretty much did the exact same time as a 3/4 ton diesel truck with a turbo and big torque with the exact same load. I would have to say that 5.0 is pretty damn impressive

Nice to see Kase on this one, he is always knowledgeable and a solid presenter.

Gotta love it. "Buy this vehicle. It isn't quite finished but we'll send out updates as soon as we figure it out. 10 years wasn't quite enough."

[pierre.a.larsen]

Good test - that was interesting. Thx.
For the Cybertruck you can set up to use the right scroll wheel for trailer braking - you are not limited to the screen.

That coyote was impressive. Current own a 2021 with the coyote. I hope they never get rid of it! Great video guys

[Jarrett]

Andre, IDK how you do it, but every video you guys produce I’m interested in and cannot unglue my eyes from the screen. Keep up the great work everyone over at TFL!

The lift and bigger diameter/heavier wheels/tires are the most impactful for towing. They really put more stress on the suspension, drive-train, brakes and chassis. There is also an impact on handling, turns, wind and whatnot. I see roofers around here with huge lifts, huge tires pulling a trailer with 15, 000+ of old shingles going to the dump behind them and they really look like death traps going down the road.

I rode my Suzuki 1050 over the Ike Gauntlet today. It was pretty cool seeing all the sights I've been seeing in your vids for years. Btw, I can report the bike needed ZERO brake applications on the way down.... Thx for another great vid guys.

Best description I've heard of the Cybertruck is "Origami El Camino".

When talking about decibel levels, remember that it's a logarithmic scale. Even 10 decibels is twice as loud. 65db is quite a bit louder than 60db

[ryangansner]

As soon as Andre took the hitch cover off of the Cybertruck and I saw how recessed it was, I knew it was going to be an issue. Lo and behold lol.

[kybruce]

Amazes me that Tesla engineers did not realize that tire sidewalls would flex and fixed wheel covers would cut into flexing sidewalls

[nlken]

I love to see David's take on this thing at the ranch.

[FerrariGTS]

The quality of that intro with the drone was cinematic fire! 💙

[ThunderCatD]

Looks like that same semi passed at 65 plus on the left as well

[dbeardsley]

That coyote was awesome. I got a 22 F150 xlt with the coyote and max tow. Best truck I've owned

[goingofftherails]

Great job on this review. Very informative and entertaining . Super impressed with Kase and his style. He is going places in my opinion !

[gregdavis]

It says on the Towing and Hauling screen, "Right Scroll Wheel Trailer Brake", "To brake, tilt the scroll wheel to the right.". All you have to do is turn that feature on, on that screen, and then you can tilt the scroll wheel on the steering wheel to the right to engage the trailer brakes. It's probably the most convenient manual trailer brake application method of any truck out there.

[KrausBean]

It looks like at the 25:50 mark you needed to toggle the switch to allow you to use the right scroll wheel for the trailer brake. You had it turned off so nothing was happening when you were spinning that wheel.
