Car Mechanic Reviews The Tesla CyberTruck! Breakthrough or Super Gimmick?

A car mechanic reviews the highly controversial Tesla CyberTruck. We dive into the technical aspects of what makes it good and not good.

We dive into the electrical system, the Heat Pump System, The 48V System and the steer by wire. Then we take a look at the rest of it and finally we answer an important question. Is this a truck that you can actually use as a work truck or not.

This gentleman gives the best reviews. He considers the vehicles he reviews with an engineer's POV and a mechanic's POV.

THE SUPER MANIFOLD - not sure I’ve ever seen you this excited before…

[dondonaldson]

This is what happens when a DeLorean takes a Hummer on a date.😂

This is the best commentary and review I have seen of the Cybertruck. No unnecessary mocking, no endless praising, but a nuanced and well reasoned look into the vehicle. Bravo!

@17:37 - Remember Ohm's law AMD. V = IR. You increase voltage at the same resistance, you current will increase as well. They are directly proportional, not indirectly. I think what you are referring to is if power (P = VA) consumption is kept the same, and you increase the voltage, then yes current will decrease. For example, lets say a car consumes 240W on a 12V battery, the load will be 20 amps. On a 48V battery, at 240W, that load is decreased to 5A

[dgurevich]

Just know AMD. This is the first time I am watching any review of the Cybertruck.

3 sensors are not because of additional redundancy, but because of consensus/quorum. If you have just 2 sensors and one of them starts reading incorrect values there is no way to know which sensor is broken, they both just report different values. If you have 3 of them, then you use values reported by two sensors and ignore the value from the remaining sensor.

“You just spent 100k dollars, and this is what it sounds like…” 🤣🤣. I think that’s the best line I’ve heard yet in all the CT reviews I’ve seen. And you backed it up with a demo 😂Love it!!

[KissTamas]

Brilliant review AMD. Thank you. May I add one point? Tesla is also reinventing the 60 yrs old CAN system with a system called Etherloop (ethernet loop). There is ethernet communication inside the car. That is also something that is unheard of.

[joeviking]

Brother, you have the most informative and intelligent car show on YouTube. I enjoy your videos tremendously. Thank you for what you do for us.

[edwingrigorian]

Of all the Cybertruck reviews that I’ve seen, this was the best one. Keep up the good work AMD. The videography is also very good.

those Space X engineers had some spare time on their hands.

If you're saying it's not a truck because it's Xpensive and wouldn't make sense to use it that way I'll give you that. But to say it can't be used as a truck is misleading because actually it can do everything a regular pick up can do and Better. As far as being costly that's only the special Edition Foudation Series which they will stop making soon. The msrp on the Dual motor CyberTruck is $79, 990 which is in line with most premium pick ups by any manufacturer. A top of line F150 fully loaded will cost $80-$90k and a Raptor starts off at $115, 000. Most people do not use thier pickup truck for work, towing or hauling.

Now the build quality on that particular truck you reviewed probably is one of the first ones that rolled off assembly line Nov/23 to Feb/24 which could explain the panel gaps you pointed out. I got my CyberTruck June 29 and I dont have those issues.

Now the stainless steel for some out there it's said is a fingerprint magnet but I guess it depends if you have a large family with little kids. I havnt had a real problem with fingerprints or with the stainless steel being a nightmare to clean or keep clean but my CT is garaged.

After you drive the CT for few weeks or few months and then drive a regular car any car/truck you won't believe it! You'll truly understand the marvel that is the CyberTruck trust me.

Inconclussion, great unbiased review I jus think if you were able to drive one for at least a month daily you would come to a different analysis on whether or not it can do the work of a so called regular pick up truck. 😉👍

[steamtorch]

Owner here. Actually, the stainless steel is ridiculously easy to keep clean. My routine cleaning kit is just a spray can of glass cleaner and a rag.

[Errathetube]

I really appreciate your unique take on the CyberTruck. All the other reviews I've watched have only been showcasing how "crazy" it is in various ways. I'm still not a fan of the truck but you pointing out and talking about the different engineering feats made me have some respect for the vehicle.
Also I had not thought about it as a tech demo before. That was eye-opening.

If you are not in the financial market space right now, you are making a huge mistake. I understand that it could be due to ignorance, but if vou want to make your money work for you . prevent inflation

[Wargasm]

My question is: why does an electric car need a battery? 🤨

[AntonioClaudioMichael]

There are 100k dollar ford Trucks now Lots of Trucks are 100k now especialy higher Trim models 1:01:27 @The Car Care Nut

[GlennLaycock]

Excellent review - I learn so much about the vehicle - both "that is crazy well done" and "that is crazy poorly done". Much more interesting than I expected.
