IT'S TIME TO SAY GOODBYE TO OUR TESLA CYBERTRUCK - HERE'S HOW IT HELD UP OVER 11,000 MILES

EV Channels Review

After 11,000 miles, the Tesla Cybertruck proves to be a reliable and capable, albeit flawed, electric pickup. The reviewer highlights its excellent powertrain reliability and impressive software, particularly the FSD beta's ability to navigate complex urban environments, surpassing competitors like Super Cruise and BlueCruise. Off-road capabilities are significantly enhanced with the addition of locking differentials via an over-the-air update, allowing it to tackle challenging terrain. However, the Cybertruck falls short in crucial areas for a pickup: towing range is severely limited, with the vehicle only managing about 85 miles before needing a charge, costing significantly more than diesel for the same distance. Visibility is also a major drawback, forcing reliance on cameras. The frunk is notably small compared to rivals, and while the composite bed is durable, its angled design and limited reach are inconvenient. Charging speeds are also criticized as being too slow for 2024 standards, making long road trips impractical. Despite these shortcomings, the reviewer would likely repurchase the vehicle for its reliability and unique features, but acknowledges it's not yet the 'best pickup truck' Tesla aimed for.
