Apart from the cheap construction methods used, this is actually a great advertisement for electric vehicles! The overall performance is impressive, needs some design improvements though.

Other electric cars actually go quite well (even the other Teslas TBH) with similar testing techniques. Its super interesting to see what they use to build the truck after they deconstruct it.

I personally would not get a cybertruck, but im hoping the company uses this first "version" as a lessons learned and make a much better version in the future.

The hand test terrifies me though. They seriously need to fix that...
