Despite Tesla’s efforts, when the first Cybertruck reviews came out…
They were less than stellar.
But why has Tesla’s latest vehicle, one five years in the making, been received so poorly?
And more importantly…
What can the carmaker do to improve their vehicles in the future?
Cybertruck Reviews: Doomed From The Start
Before Cybertruck reviews came out when the vehicle was first introduced…
Tesla fans were endlessly excited about the potential of the truck.
And while the company kept marketing the capabilities of its revolutionary vehicle…
Skeptics were not easily swayed.
Thanks to an unveiling demonstration,
A NOW-FAMOUS MOMENT REVEALED THAT THE VEHICLE’S PROMISED “SHATTER-PROOF” WINDOWS… ACTUALLY DID SHATTER.
Many critics saw this situation as an omen of what was to come.
And as Tesla’s truck approached its release, more and more experts grew concerned. Car safety experts found in their reviews of the Cybertruck…
That the vehicle’s structure could be incredibly dangerous in crashes…
Specifically for cyclists and pedestrians.
WHEN THE TRUCK FINALLY DID COME OUT, TWO YEARS BEHIND SCHEDULE…
And twice the original asking price…
Even the most die-hard fans couldn’t help but notice design flaws…
And that came through in their Cybertruck reviews.
As groundbreaking as the vehicle is, it seems the engineering team has forgotten some basics that are standard practice…
And it led to some disastrous results.
Issues With Tesla’s Truck
The truck has been recalled four times in the first year of its release.
Two of the recalls have been solved due to over-the-air software patches, but two involved physical damage.
OUT OF THE GATE, THESE RECALLS DO NOT INSPIRE CONFIDENCE IN ANY POTENTIAL CYBERTRUCK REVIEWS.
As aforementioned, safety experts have raised concerns that the truck was a danger to pedestrians and cyclists. And it’s not without reason…
The Cybertruck’s angular body and stainless steel exoskeleton create a huge hazard for pedestrians. The reason many cars have a similar, round look is that in the event of a crash, victims are less likely to be injured.
Not to mention, most cars in the event of a crash cave in on themselves thanks to “crumple zones” in vehicle engineering. This allows the vehicle to absorb the shock of the crash instead of passing it onto the passengers.
With Tesla’s latest and greatest these two fundamental aspects of vehicle safety are discarded. And safety experts reflect on these worries in Cybertruck reviews.
Beyond just the engineering, drivers have their own concerns regarding the truck…
MOST FAMOUSLY, THE FACT THAT GIVEN THE OPPORTUNITY, THE CYBERTRUCK WILL RIP OFF ITS DRIVER’S FINGERS.
The “frunk”, or front trunk, of the Tesla will automatically close its doors once the driver is done loading it. However, the doors have no sensors indicating when a hand is in the way of the closing frunk…
ESSENTIALLY, IF A DRIVER’S FINGERS GET CAUGHT IN THE WAY OF A CLOSING FRUNK, THE CAR WILL NOT STOP THE DOOR FROM CLOSING.
Cybertruck reviewers, YouTubers, and TikTokers have tested this phenomenon using carrots and prop hands and the results are clear:
The truck will not hesitate in biting off an appendage or two.
What’s Next For The Truck
Beyond the engineering and safety issues…
The Cybertruck also struggles during… Regular car tasks.
For example, one user’s truck completely shut down after it was put through a car wash. While Tesla mentions in the truck’s manual that there might be complications that arise when washing the car…
(and no you won’t be getting your deposit back for car wash damage)…
Many Cybertruck reviews pose the same question:
WHAT KIND OF CAR SHUTS DOWN AFTER BEING WASHED?
While many of the truck’s issues lie in the fact that it’s just a big truck…
The bad press from Cybertruck reviews aren’t helping the car company’s increasingly tumultuous reputation…
In the end, it’s important to remember that while Tesla does make cars, they are a tech company first…
And that sometimes while pushing technological limits…
The engineers forget that their product needs to serve its main function.
The Cybertruck still needs to be a truck after all.
Be Great,
