TESLA FANBOYS WERE RIGHT? TESLA CYBERTRUCK REVIEW

EV Channels Review

The Straight Pipes review of the 2025 Tesla Cybertruck highlights its polarizing design and unique steer-by-wire system as key talking points. While acknowledging the initial hype has subsided, the reviewers found the Cybertruck to be a surprisingly pleasant and comfortable driving experience, particularly praising its ride quality and the functionality of its advanced driver-assistance systems, including Full Self-Driving. However, they noted significant drawbacks such as the lack of a traditional 360-degree bird's-eye camera view, the inability to disable one-pedal driving, and concerns about the reliability of the steer-by-wire system. The high price point in Canada ($137,990 CAD for the Dual Motor) was also a point of contention, making it a niche, albeit attention-grabbing, choice compared to alternatives like the VW ID Buzz. Ultimately, while the Cybertruck is lauded for its innovation and 'cool factor,' its practicality and user-friendliness for everyday drivers are questioned.
