WHAT'S RIGHT AND WRONG WITH THE TESLA CYBERTRUCK AFTER OWNING IT FOR A MONTH

EV Channels Review

After a month of ownership, the Tesla Cybertruck elicits strong, polarized reactions, both from the public and the reviewers themselves. While its polarizing design and stainless-steel construction attract immense attention, they also lead to significant build quality concerns, including misaligned panels and sharp edges. The reviewer highlights the truck's impressive powertrain and off-road capabilities, particularly its 16 inches of ground clearance and mechanical lockers, which performed exceptionally well in Moab. However, practical usability is hampered by a small frunk, a bed design that makes reaching items difficult, and a notoriously problematic rolling tonneau cover. The steer-by-wire system, while enabling a tight turning radius, lacks steering feel. Tesla's customer service and communication are also criticized for being poor. Despite its flaws, the Cybertruck's electric powertrain is praised for its reliability and lack of traditional engine issues, offering a unique, albeit flawed, ownership experience.
