WHAT’S UP WITH MOTORTREND’S HATE OF TESLA?, TSLA IS SOARING, THE GRINCH GETS CHASE MAD

EV Channels Review

The hosts of 'Keep On Cybertruckin'' offer a mixed but generally positive review of the Tesla Cybertruck, particularly the Cyberbeast trim. They highlight its "stupid fast" acceleration and impressive launch capabilities, noting it outperforms the Rivian R1S in initial takeoff despite being heavier. The Cybertruck's handling in slippery conditions with the dedicated mode is also praised. However, the Full Self-Driving (FSD) feature receives a more cautious assessment. While acknowledging its potential and improvements, the hosts found it "pretty sketchy" in rainy conditions, requiring manual intervention. They suggest FSD's value is highly dependent on individual usage and trust, making it a "tough sell" for new EV buyers. A significant portion of the discussion is dedicated to criticizing Motor Trend's biased and unprofessional review of the Cybertruck, arguing that YouTube creators and independent reviewers offer more objective and in-depth analysis. The episode also touches on the growing adoption of NACS charging standards and studies indicating long EV battery lifespan, countering common concerns.
