Expert Truck Driver Reviews Tesla Cybertruck
This video comes from TFLEV on YouTube. The host is an experienced driver. For this review, he commences from the outside. The overall review is positive as far as the design of the exterior and the practicality of the cargo bed are concerned. He likes the way the electric truck has aerodynamically been designed. However, coming to the inside, there is so much that the man doesn’t like. It has not necessarily anything to do with the tech features per se, but with the fact that everything depends on electronics and touchscreens. In the case of an emergency or if the screen malfunctions, the driver won’t be able to access any function at all.

That is definitely a terrible condition for anyone in an emergency situation. He questions the placement of the blinkers, as well as the gear selector. If you turn the steering wheel, the left and right indicators will be confusing. Also, if the hands of the driver are dirty, he wouldn’t want to touch the screen for selecting gear. Furthermore, there is the gear selector mounted on the roof too. Also, the ORVMs are quite tiny and the IRVM is just miniscule. The fact, that the visibility from the back is 0 (when the cargo bed is closed), one has to rely on the camera feed on the screen. It could be quite distracting. But the host loves the information about the truck on the screen. He is able to operate all functions just by touching the screen. Overall, the reaction is quite positive apart from the over-dependency on electronics.
