2024 TESLA CYBERTRUCK REVIEW | TESLA'S LATEST EV IS AN OK TRUCK WITH A SHOCKING DESIGN

EV Channels Review

The 2024 Tesla Cybertruck, specifically the Foundation Edition dual-motor AWD model reviewed, presents a polarizing design with a stainless steel exoskeleton. While its unconventional styling is a love-it-or-hate-it affair, the reviewer notes it was a strategic move for Tesla to stand out in a crowded EV truck market. Performance is strong, with the 600hp dual-motor variant offering brisk acceleration, though not matching the "Beast" version. Real-world range is estimated to be similar to the Ford F-150 Lightning, despite Tesla's optimistic claims. The interior features a minimalist, tech-heavy design dominated by a large touchscreen, which controls most functions, including steering wheel and mirror adjustments, a point of contention for the reviewer who prefers physical controls. Practicality is mixed: the bed offers decent length but an unusual shape, and the frunk is notably small. The steer-by-wire system and adaptive air suspension provide a unique, car-like driving experience, feeling more like a sports car than a traditional truck, which may appeal to some but alienate traditional truck buyers. Cabin noise is higher than competitors like the Lightning, with road and motor noise being more prominent. Overall, the Cybertruck is a bold, unconventional offering that excels in unique driving dynamics and technology but falls short in some practical truck aspects and user interface preferences.
