HERE’S EVERYTHING THAT WENT WRONG WITH OUR CYBERTRUCK AFTER 5,000 MILES!

EV Channels Review

After 5,000 miles and three months of rigorous use, the TFL EV team shares a candid look at the Tesla Cybertruck's performance and pitfalls. While the vehicle has faced numerous issues, including misaligned trim, a malfunctioning tonneau cover, and accelerated tire wear (estimated at 30% after 5,000 miles), the reviewer expresses a surprising fondness for the truck. Key criticisms revolve around the lack of parking sensors, sharp exterior edges causing minor injuries, and the cumbersome hitch cover. However, the interior comfort, spaciousness, and off-road capability (especially after software updates enabling mechanical lockers) are highlighted as significant positives. Despite its polarizing design and the initial "beta tester" experience, the reviewer ultimately finds the Cybertruck to be the most usable, utilitarian, and fun Tesla they've owned, even preferring it over traditional trucks like the F-150. The real-world range is estimated at around 250 miles, with towing reducing it by at least half.
