2024 TESLA CYBERTRUCK REVIEW: THIS IS JUST PLAIN COOL

EV Channels Review

Doug DeMuro reviews the 2024 Tesla Cybertruck, highlighting its "plain cool" factor and otherworldly design. He praises the unique stainless steel construction, angular aesthetics, and innovative features like the steer-by-wire system and integrated bed outlets. However, he notes significant drawbacks, including the problematic A-pillars obstructing visibility, the lack of standard driver-assist features like Autopilot (despite Tesla's promises of future over-the-air updates), and the high price point compared to initial announcements. The review also touches on the unusual lighting, the functional but oddly designed tonneau cover, and the minimalist interior with its unique octagonal cup holders and yoke-like steering wheel. While acknowledging its polarizing looks and practical compromises, DeMuro concludes that the Cybertruck's sheer novelty and head-turning presence make it a "showstopper" for now, though he suspects its long-term appeal might be surpassed by more well-rounded competitors like the Rivian R1T.
