An in-depth look at the Tesla Cybertruck from the perspective of the ‘teardown titan’ Sandy Munro has been released, from his visit to the Tesla Gigafactory in Austin, Texas.
Munro, known for his expertise in automotive engineering, takes viewers on a ride and drive of the Cybertruck, noting that the prototype he’s driving is not quite ready for prime time but still offers plenty to enjoy. He comments on the vehicle’s handling, describing it as “handling like a dream,” and highlights the tight turning radius, which he finds surprisingly nimble for such a large vehicle.
He also focuses on the visibility inside the Cybertruck, praising its expansive view with minimal blind spots. He explores the frunk (front trunk) of the vehicle, noting its size and potential uses, such as storing hunting gear. Additionally, Munro points out the convenient location of the HEPA filter for air cleaning and the ease of accessing the windshield washer fluid.
The video showcases the Cybertruck’s interior, emphasizing its clean and functional design. Munro is impressed by the ample legroom and headroom in the rear seats, which he finds more comfortable than in previous Tesla models.
Munro also examines the vehicle’s build quality, particularly the consistency of panel gaps, which he finds to be even and indicative of good build quality. He reflects on the future of electric vehicles and the reduction of noise pollution they promise.
Concluding his review, Munro expresses his admiration for the Cybertruck’s design and functionality, seeing it as an ideal vehicle for outdoor activities like hunting, fishing, and camping. He anticipates that the Cybertruck will be a strong competitor in the off-road vehicle market, potentially challenging brands like Rivian, Jeep, and Hummer.
Tesla needs to add a washer for the rear camera, as the video shows Munro with a blurry view since there’s no rear-view mirror in the Cybertruck. There’s already a washer for the front bumper camera.
