The Tesla Cybertruck polarizes the automotive world - some love the futuristic design and performance, others criticize the workmanship and frequent defects. YouTuber JerryRigEverything has now tested his Cybertruck over eight months and 13,000 miles and has a clear opinion: while some aspects are impressive, there are also significant weaknesses.
A few advantages, but many weaknesses
According to JerryRigEverything, there are some aspects that Tesla with the Cybertruck has been well implemented. The Cybertruck impresses with its bulletproof design, its striking appearance and the steer-by-wire system, which is designed for fast, precise control. The "wow" factor is definitely there - especially in terms of attention.
But that's about it for the advantages. The list of shortcomings that come to light in everyday use, on the other hand, is much longer.
Points of criticism: Processing quality and safety concerns
Problems during assembly and recurring recalls
One of the YouTuber's main criticisms concerns the general build quality. For example, he discovered on two of the three tested Cybertrucks loose bolts on the doors - and this on a brand new vehicle. Missing or loose trim parts and the defective reversing camera, which could only be repaired with a software update, also raise questions about the build quality. Stopping in snow is also problematic: the edge under the headlights collects snow, which significantly reduces the light output.
Towing and accidents
The weakness of the rear bumper is viewed particularly critically, as several Cybertruck owners found it fell off. The fact that the YouTuber no longer uses the Cybertruck for towing due to safety concerns also raises doubts about the reliability of the model.
Personal and public perception
Another problem that JerryRigEverything addresses concerns the image that Tesla and especially the Cybertruck embody the company. For many people, the truck cannot be separated from Elon Musk, which is polarizing. In the public eye, this can quickly become an image problem, as the YouTuber notes - even sponsors distanced themselves from his video due to the Cybertruck content.
Conclusion: Promising, but in need of improvement
The Cybertruck may be an eye-catcher, but it shows that Tesla still has a lot of work to do to make it more practical. In particular, the build quality and safety of the vehicle appear to be in need of improvement. For JerryRigEverything, one thing is certain: switching to an alternative e-truck is already on his agenda.
