great video....i agree w everything u pointed out

We had RVs from 2009-2017. A 5th Wheel towed by a 2500HD diesel, a Class A full size motorhome, and Class C small motorhome. The gas was ALWAYS the main expense. We have two Model 3s and can’t was it for our 3motor Cybertruck. Fuel, albeit electricity, will be a magnitude cheaper to run. We plan on towing a ~22ft travel trailer and going where we want, when we want, full time. Pull into an RV Park and plug in. Charge overnight, ready to go in the morning.

Nice job breaking down your thought process. I'm off to look at CTG now.

4:30 “cyberstruck” 😂 love your videos btw

I've owned Honda, BMW, toyota cars, and Chev gas pickup, and a Ford F350 7.3L diesel presently. Just last week I got on the list for a CyberTruck, and I'm sooooooo EXCITED to have one I can't stand it. I'm with you brother.

I didn't notice it before, but the camping render uses induction for the cooking pots, not white gas or propane. You can tell as there is no burner on the stove. So it would use electricity from the Cybertruck for cooking. Cool!

I'm a Mazdaspeed3 owner and this video pretty much hits all the same points for me. I never saw myself being a truck owner until the Cybertruck.

As soon as I saw the cybertruck I could see its potential to use as a work vehicle. That combined with that striking design makes it very exciting. The durable exterior seals the deal for me.

I bet that there is a car out there that could perfectly suit your needs just as well as a Cybertruck. The only problem is that then you wouldn’t have a Cybertruck. Honestly, you can justify getting a Cybertruck in many ways but really you only need two reasons: it’s freaking cool and it’s not stupid expensive.

I ordered mine as soon as the website went live (~#14k). I have a Model 3 and have had Trucks and can easily see how a Cybertruck will be a massive step up on all dimensions.

I think you missed the cost of electricity delivery: 8 cents per kWh is pretty good for electricity supply, but probably doesn't include the delivery charges.

Hey man, great video. On the topic of repairs, what are your thoughts on the exoskeleton with a serious collision? The stainless steel is obviously tough, but not unbreakable. I have to wonder how the repair process would be executed for even a minor fender bender. Also the cost of that type of metal work. Thanks man.

Subbed, gotta support another PA tuber. I get 21mpg in my 2.7L F150, but its only on 87 and i use about 80$/mo in fuel. Not as killer as it was about 15 years ago when I was getting 11-12mpg. Cybertruck will get be under 25$/mo. Insane. Hopefully i can get an EV truck at some point once its paid off and save up. Miss my WRX. Keep yours forever. What ever tires the Cybertruck ships with, it might need new tires and I would recommend the General ATX LT's. Never found something I havent been able to conquer in the Allegheny National Forest / Loyalsock Forest summer or winter

I get about half my rated range when driving 85 mpg on the highway in my long range model 3. Just something to consider when choosing your battery size.

What blew my mind was the electricity price. Ahaha. Here in Australia we pay $0.24 and that’s considered cheap. Fuck what I’d do for power that cheap

I want to see how easy it will to ensure the thing and what are the premiums

Personally, I'm more excited about it's competitors. But I do hope for a chance to see and drive them ALL in the near future.

Well done video, I gave it a thumbs- up. I drive 25-30K miles/year which is why I reserved a Model 3 right after the reveal. Long range electric cars are great for long commutes, especially with autopilot in stop and go traffic like I get in SE PA. For your calcs, you need to include charging efficiency (~95%) and daily loss especially if you use sentry mode and pre-conditioning. I would also see if you can get your employer to allow charging at your office. Mine does, and pre-covid, I wasn't paying for or any electricity. I can see some issues with supercharging in a cybertruck just due to its size. You may need 2 spots open next to each other! Another additional expense you will see is insurance and higher registration cost for a truck in PA. Also, just out of fun, your car resume doesn't scream "car guy":)

I thought the cyber truck was ugly and over the top when I first saw it. Then I saw videos breaking down how the design is a product of engineering. The exoskeleton is revolutionary. The solid steel panels require straight lines. No painting or buffing. Its simplicity and simple is beautiful. I don't look at it aesthetically and appreciate it. I look at it as a feat of engineering and now I love it.

Show us the math! I personally like seeing the method behind the numbers. It makes it clear what you were looking at and any (potential) assumptions.

New pads designed for evs are coming out now and last a bit longer but should be swapped over at 100 still. Yes still alot cheaper but Tesla's still require some maintance, not zero maintance.

Since we moved to a city, we haven't needed to use a car since then. However we're moving back to the countryside and it will be a necessity. Cybertruck hit all the right benchmarks for me - especially for all the same reasons you gave about performance and hauling. It's going to be even more expensive for us down in NZ but totally worth it. Also because it's steel, you can stick magnetic signage to it for advertising.

One big thing not mentioned and it should have been high on the list to own a CT back east.... Stainless Steel. I used to be a mechanic on the west coast. We would not work on any cars from back east that was over 5 years old. Just too many rusty bolts and would cost a fortune in extra labor to work on. I ordered a model Y 3 weeks ago and when I heard Tesla was raising the cost of FSD, I ordered a dual motor CT. I figured that it would take about 2-3 years to get through the 750K of preorders for me to get my CT. Main reason for a CT for me is towing. Model Y will tow but I love the CT's AC plug in! Make camping much easier....

My only worry is how easy to service. If you don’t have service when needed or have to drive, that could make the difference.

If you account for insurance and increasing gas prices, Cybertruck should prevail on fuel cost even more. Insurance generally would be cheaper for safer anti theft etc cars I think.

I drive VW Lipo 3L and it goes 100km on 3litars of diesel with speed 100km/h. On max speed 170km/h it is 4.8l per 100km. Take that car into consideration until Cyber Truck become available ;)

The cost justification all falls apart when you consider that it will take many years until the cyber truck sells at $49k. Tesla’s always start out selling the high end version and it’s years before they ever reach the base model. And not sure that any of those nice options you speak of will be on your base model
