EX-GM TRUCK EXEC RATES THE TESLA CYBERTRUCK

EV Channels Review

Terry Woychowski, a former GM truck executive, provides a detailed assessment of the Tesla Cybertruck, focusing on its practical application for truck users. While acknowledging the impressive manufacturing technology behind the stainless steel body panels and the vehicle's solid, quiet ride, Woychowski raises significant concerns. He questions the suitability of stainless steel for a work truck due to fingerprints and susceptibility to scratches, though notes wraps can mitigate this. The reviewer highlights issues with fit and finish, sharp panel edges, and the awkwardness of the yoke-style steering wheel, especially for tight maneuvers on a ranch. Visibility is also a concern due to the thick A-pillars and the large windshield wiper's V-gap. Despite these drawbacks, he praises the exceptional camera quality, the effectiveness of four-wheel steering in reducing the turning radius, and the quick clearing of ice from the windshield. Woychowski believes that as costs align and reliability is proven, traditional truck buyers may eventually embrace this unconventional vehicle, similar to the adoption of cordless tools.
