...this actually went the exact same distance... as a Ford Lightning that was rated for 300 mi... Tesla has been a little shall we say aggressive with their range estimates in the past the cybertruck appears to be no different but any way you slice it it is definitely more efficient than the lightning because the lightning had to have a bigger battery in order to go the same distance...

🏎️ Quick 0-60 times, even at low battery
...if I floor it it's still pretty darn peppy. 0 to 60 times... was 3.7 seconds 0 to 60 so actually surprisingly faster than the Tesla S and definitely faster than the lightning of course as you'd expect...

💡 Innovative and unique design

🎮 Intuitive and fast infotainment system
...the big thing about this display is that it's really bright it's really crisp and it's driven by some really powerful Hardware... doesn't matter which option we're selecting here... very, very quick...

🌌 Comfortable seating and spacious cabin feel
...the seat itself I do think this is more comfortable than the average half ton trucks... this is between 3 and 5 in narrower than the average half ton truck and that's part of why the rear seat feels a little bit more compact but we do again have that flat floor...

💨 Strong performance and handling

🛠️ Practical cargo features
...this cargo bed is not square or box-shaped like most pickup truck beds... lots of really practical touches... really great LED light strips all the way around the bed that really helps illuminate things...

🚘 Limited visibility and large blind spots due to its design.
...the lack of visibility is definitely a problem on winding roads like this because from the driver's perspective I just can't see around a lot of these Corners...the blind spots are definitely very very large especially towards the rear...

🚗 Single wiper not as efficient at clearing the windshield.
...this single wiper is not as good at wiping water or other things off of the windshield...moves a little bit slower than the wipers in the average half-ton truck and the wiper washer does not deliver as much water...

🛣 Cabin noise is more noticeable compared to other EV trucks.
...cabin noise at 50 mph I measured 71 dB in here which is definitely louder than the lightning...you're also going to hear somewhat unusual noises around the vehicle when the vehicle's parked...

🧳 Limited interior and cargo space due to its unique design choices.
...between the front seats that center console area is just not as wide...bed is not square or box shaped like most pickup truck beds...various obvious indications here like if we look at the sides you notice it actually does widen out there towards the top it's narrower down there towards the bottom...

🌱 Specific styling choices may not be durable or practical long-term.
...one of the other reasons for the particular shape of the Cyber truck is that this is a unibody truck...motor noise in the cabin...you're going to hear more of that in this cabin because we don't get as much sound isolation in the cabin...
