2024 TESLA CYBERTRUCK | REVIEW & ROAD TEST

EV Channels Review

The 2024 Tesla Cybertruck presents a polarizing yet surprisingly functional package. Reviewers highlight its blistering acceleration, with the Dual Motor variant producing 600 horsepower and an estimated 340 miles of range, while the Cyberbeast trim pushes performance even further. The steer-by-wire system and four-wheel steering contribute to unexpected agility despite its size. However, the Cybertruck is not without its drawbacks. Ride quality is firm rather than plush, and the unique design elements, such as the steer-by-wire and touch-screen controls, require a significant adaptation period for traditional drivers. Panel fitment and interior trim quality are noted as areas needing improvement, with visible misalignments and loose parts detracting from the premium feel expected at its price point. Off-road capability is deemed adequate for moderate trails, but towing significantly impacts range. Competitors like the Ford F-150 Lightning and Rivian R1T are presented as more conventional and potentially better value options for those prioritizing pure functionality over a statement vehicle.
