TESLA CYBERTRUCK CRUSH TEST, POWER SHARING, LIGHTING, MEASUREMENTS, AND MORE

EV Channels Review

This "Out of Spec" video delves into various features and tests of the Tesla Cybertruck that were not covered in previous reviews. The hosts conduct a series of 'crush tests' using fruits to simulate finger safety with the doors and tailgate, finding that while the tailgate has soft-close, the doors can still pose a risk, unlike the Rivian which appears to have better pinch protection. The video also explores the camping capabilities, noting the absence of a built-in shower and climate control for the bed, though it highlights the useful 'camp mode' and power outlets. A significant portion is dedicated to testing the Cybertruck's power sharing and outlet functionality, revealing limitations such as the inability to use outlets while the truck is charging and a notable voltage sag under a 40-amp load. Other discussed features include interior and exterior lighting, the effectiveness of the sun visors, glove box operation, and the surprisingly good sound system. While the Cybertruck excels in some areas, the review points out a lack of certain functional truck features compared to competitors like the F-150 Lightning, particularly regarding safety sensors and outlet usability during charging.
