It is official: the Tesla Cybertruck has formally been launched. Properly, no less than to a couple clients. Whereas Tesla works to ramp up manufacturing, it has trusted just a few of the discharge candidate automobiles to journalists, YouTubers, and influencers who could not wait to get their fingers on the triangular truck.
Because the truck is now formally within the fingers of early adopters, reviewers are lastly in a position to give their ideas on Tesla’s new platform. That features Jason Cammisa, Marques Brownlee, and Jack Rix of High Gear. We have gathered our favourite movies on the Cybertruck so that you can watch under.
Jason Cammisa/Hagerty
First, Cammisa focuses on the truck’s efficiency. A little bit of a spoiler: the brand new Cybertruck beats out the quad-motor Rivian R1T and 1,000 horsepower Hummer EV, and by fairly a bit—and that’s regardless of sporting heavy-treaded mud tires and sporting a half-charged battery, which is a feat in itself because the zero-60 dash charge sometimes decreases because the pack voltage declines in different Tesla fashions.
He additionally touches on effectivity. Which means discussing aerodynamics (even because it pertains to ICE-powered supercars just like the Bugatti Chiron and McLaren F1), battery cells, powertrain, and, in fact, your pockets. And if Cammisa’s phrase isn’t sufficient, there’s even a shock cameo by Jason Fenske Engineering Defined to elucidate why Tesla upped its vehicles to 800 volts on the high-voltage aspect, and 48 volts for low-voltage.
Oh, there’s additionally the Cybertruck being slung round on a monitor, footage of a crash check, and a few goal criticism that’s value asking earlier than you flip that reservation into an precise order—plus, one other cameo that I gained’t smash.
That is the video you need to watch if you happen to’re a fan of the Clarkson, Hammond, and Could-era of High Gear, and also you’re not conversant in Cammisa’s work, you’ve received an entire afternoon forward of you to look at. You’re welcome.
Marques Brownlee
You already know him, I do know him, and Elon Musk is aware of him too—the notorious MKBHD. It ought to come as no shock to know that Brownlee received his fingers on a Cybertruck. Hell, he’s the explanation that the Cybertruck vary received leaked earlier than the precise launch date. So let’s see what the king of electronics evaluations has to say in regards to the world’s boxiest laptop on wheels.
Brownlee’s truck wasn’t an precise manufacturing truck, however one of many launch candidates that we’ve been seeing on the highway. Nonetheless, it’s as shut as you may get to what was truly delivered to clients yesterday.
He covers what modified because the truck was first launched in 2019. Dimensions, payload, zero to 60, and sure, there’s much more (together with the value). Brownlee additionally goes over a variety of the small options that you simply’ll use whereas driving—blindspot indicators, detachable mirrors, wheel setup, the facility tonneau cowl, and extra.
You’ll additionally get to see some driving movies on the highway.

Jack Rix/High Gear
Jack Rix over at High Gear additionally managed to get his fingers on the Cybertruck. In the event you’ve received 40 minutes to spare, you’ll get to be taught the entire cool methods and engineering ideas that Rix discovered in regards to the truck throughout his time with it.
The video has a small interview phase with Franz Von Holzhausen, Tesla’s chief designer who broke the Cybertruck’s window with a metal ball again in 2019, and Lars Moravy, Tesla’s VP of engineering. The duo describes the why behind the Cybertruck, like the way it wanted to be separated from different choices in the marketplace, together with the key design undertaking that led to CEO Elon Musk greenlighting the undertaking.
Maybe probably the most attention-grabbing factor he covers is the reactions he will get whereas having possession of the truck. And, unsurprisingly, it proves that the Cybertruck goes to be the newest little bit of hypebeast gear. So, congratulations, Elon, you’ve completed it.
That is the video you need to look ahead to a contented medium between Cammisa and Brownlee’s work. You get the driving experiences, the specs, and a few enjoyable in between.
