TESLA CYBERBEAST REVIEW: THE MOST ICONIC TESLA YET!

EV Channels Review

The Tesla Cybertruck Cyberbeast is presented as an "iconic" and "cool" vehicle, though its first-generation status means it's still evolving. The reviewer highlights the striking stainless steel exterior, which, while visually appealing, is prone to fingerprints and dirt. Practical features like the power tonneau cover, ample bed storage with a cooler function, and powered front trunk are praised. Inside, the steer-by-wire system with rear-wheel steering is a standout, offering responsive handling, though the "squirkle" steering wheel is noted as a potential point of contention for some. The large 18.5-inch display is intuitive, and features like cooled front seats, a rear display, and ample power outlets are appreciated. However, the reviewer points out significant drawbacks: slower charging speeds and a large battery that doesn't translate to class-leading range (estimated around 308 miles for the Cyberbeast, with highway range closer to 250 miles). The lack of standard Autopilot and Full Self-Driving at launch, despite being included in the price, is a notable omission. The reviewer also mentions the current absence of wheel covers due to tire-scuffing issues, though replacements are forthcoming. Ultimately, while the Cyberbeast is deemed "worth it" for its sheer coolness and capability, especially for those who can afford the $120,000 price tag, it's not recommended for long road trips due to charging limitations. The reviewer suggests that for practical long-distance travel, other Tesla models might be more suitable.
