Jason Cammisa tested Tesla’s Cyberbeast — in acceleration, handling, maneuverability, dent-resistance, and safety — and races.
Jason is says Cybertruck is truck 2.0. It is all from scratch and it is all better.
The Tesla Cybertruck crushed the 835 horsepower Rivian R1T in a drag race.
The Tesla Cybertruck is twice as efficient as a Hummer EV.
The 48 volt architecture is four times the voltage of the industry 12 volt architecture. It reduces the amount of wire to 25% of a 12 volt system.
The 48-volt architecture is also important for getting the drive by wire system to work.
They did a side impact test with a 3100 pound cart at 33.5 mph.

Ah, but the Ford F-150 is usable as a, you know, a pickup truck. How many people that actually USE a truck on a daily basis will want a Tesla? At least Tesla’s commercial vehicles are built for their actual purpose.
Well, the Cybertruck tows more, carries more, full size 6′ x 4′ bed, has a built in lockable stainless steel bed cover with internal lockable storage, can power your power tools or your house, more ground clearance, will not dent or chip and laughs off minor collisions, is rust proof, is handgun bulletproof, is faster, drives as easily and as comfortably as a car, cost per mile is roughly less than half, and is basically zero maintenance.
Yeah, who would want that…
You aren’t going to be selling those to Billy Bob. You are going to be selling those to office people that use truck occasionally… for recreation. Maybe the OWNERS of construction companies for BRAGGING rights.
Cannot watch a video interrupted by a commercial every :0 seconds!
“The 48 volt architecture is four times the voltage of the industry 12 volt architecture. It reduces the amount of wire to 25% of a 12 volt system.”
Not quite correct, the same length of 48 volt wiring is needed, but the cross-section of each wire can be 25% that of the equivalent 12 volt wiring.
Ford F-150: Torsional rigidity – near 0
Did the 3.1klb cart @ 33.5mph make it clear thru to the passenger seat?
Nah, torsional rigidity isn’t about side impact resistance. It means that if one end of the vehicle had both wheels on the ground, and the other end of the vehicle had only one wheel supported, how much would the entire vehicle twist.
A figure of zero means that in this case the F150 would twist itself into a mobius strip instantly.
Which is obviously not true, it’s an extreme exaggeration.
