Tesla’s long-awaited Cybertruck was announced yesterday and now Marques Brownlee, or MKBHD, has released his initial review of the truck.
The prototype, while not yet a delivery model, closely represents what customers can expect in their trucks. Here are some little nuances about Cybertruck that Tesla didn’t tell us about at its presentation event:
MKBHD says the world’s largest windshield wiper is “hilarious” and “ridiculous”. It doesn’t quite cover the entire windshield but wipes about 75% of the windshield. The truck is now using an 800 volt architecture, now using less wire weight. There’s a 48 volt low voltage system.
As for driving, he says there’s some more tread noise in the cabin from the tires. He says the steering wheel is “remarkably responsive” for a big truck. He did not like the lack of front visibility as he could not see the hood of the car due to the design. “I think they really got themselves something solid here…I’m impressed with this,” said Brownlee.
