WE FINALLY DROVE A CYBERTRUCK! 2024 TESLA CYBERTRUCK FIRST DRIVE AND REVIEW

EV Channels Review

The EV Geek Studios team provides an in-depth first drive of the 2024 Tesla Cybertruck Foundation Series, highlighting its polarizing design and advanced technology. While the exterior's stainless steel is noted as difficult to keep clean, the interior impresses with its minimalist design, large screen, and unique features like steer-by-wire and a 48-volt architecture. The reviewers praise the Cybertruck's impressive driving dynamics, particularly the rear-wheel steering, which makes the large truck feel significantly smaller and more agile. However, the Full Self-Driving (FSD) system showed questionable behavior on city streets, attempting a dangerous maneuver. Road noise and wind noise are more pronounced than expected, attributed to its brick-like shape and all-terrain tires. Charging performance is described as typical Tesla, with quick initial peaks followed by a rapid decline, and route planning prioritizes frequent, short charging stops. Ultimately, while the technology is lauded as best-in-class, both reviewers express a preference for the Rivian R1T or Silverado EV due to the Cybertruck's unconventional aesthetics and perceived interior premiumness, despite its technological prowess.
