In this world-exclusive comprehensive First Review of the Tesla Cybertruck, Jason Cammisa tests Tesla’s Cyberbeast — in acceleration, handling, maneuverability, dent-resistance, and safety — and races it down the ¼-mile against the Rivian R1T Quad-Motor AWD and GMC Hummer EV Edition 1 Pickup.

No episode of the multiple award-winning series “ICONS” would be complete without a full helping of comedy, two side dishes of crazy action, and a cast of supporting characters. In this case, the latter incudes a 1988 Lamborghini LM002, a 1981 DeLorean DMC-12, a Ford Lightning, Rivian R1T, and GMC Hummer EV Pickup!
Special guest appearances include Hall-of-Fame race-car driver Randy Pobst and «Engineering Explained» host Jason Fenske.
Cammisa explains the engineering behind Tesla’s controversial pickup truck, including its stainless-steel («HFS») exoskeleton construction, enormous aluminum castings and structural battery pack. He attends a live side-impact crash test in Tesla’s Crash Lab that demonstrated how tough the skin is. And then, of course, tries to dent it with a sledgehammer. Or BFH, for those who know.
The similarities with the DeLorean go way beyond the stainless exterior — in fact, the Cybertruck most closely resembles the famed Lamborghini LM002 pickup — a V12-powered dogleg 5-speed off-roader, dubbed «Rambo Lambo,» that was as fast as a sports car. In fact, Jason reads an excerpt from the original Car and Driver magazine review of the LM002, and everything said applies directly to the Cybertruck.
Including that the Cybertruck Cyberbeast is the quickest-accelerating pickup truck in history. Watch as it leaves the previous champion (the Rivian R1T) for dead, hitting 60 mph in just 2.6 seconds and blasting through the quarter-mile in 11.0 seconds at 119 mph. Cammisa reran the test on untreated (non-VHT) asphalt and got the same numbers — and marvels at how consistently the Cybertruck accelerated. Even with the Battery SoC in the mid-30-percent range after hours of consecutive runs, it still hit 60 in 2.6 seconds, and had only lost 0.3s at the quarter mile.
That newfound consistency is partially due to the new 4680 Gen 2 batteries, which are far larger than Tesla’s previous 18650 and 2170 batteries, and are manufactured in-house.
The Cybertruck is nearly twice as efficient as the Hummer EV, thanks to a Lotus-like obsession with efficiency. With a battery pack of just 123 kWh, it’s expected to receive an EPA Range of over 310 miles.
And the Cybertruck is even lighter than the Rivian R1T, Hummer, and Lightning — Cammisa weighed them all.
CURB WEIGHT:
Cybertruck Cyberbeast 6717 lb
Rivian R1T Quad-Motor AWD 6777 lb
Ford F-150 Lightning 6813 lb
GMC Hummer EV First Edition 9316 lb
Lamborghini LM002 6499 lb (with 20 gallons of fuel)
Of course, don’t miss Randy Pobst in a kart chasing the Cybertruck around Sonoma Raceway’s Go-Kart track — or the sight of the LM002 leaning over like it’s about to roll down Sonoma’s famed Carousel. Or Jason backing into a stainless steel refrigerator because the Cybertruck’s rear visibility is so compromised.

The reason why the design hasn't changed much is because it works. And believe it or not pick up trucks are designed to work
19:06 ruining a cybertruck for video content is ridiculous
Ree automotive
Those sharp edges of Cybertruck made me scared !😨
this more like ad than review
This something I would pay to watch in theaters
The Rivian is better looking!
Awesome review, the best I've ever seen. I can't wait for mine. The cybertruck is fantastic. I'm really not into all the other electric vehicles that are available except the cybertruck period.
Elon Built a 4-wheel GFY!! The batteries use liberal tears as an electrolyte.
overproduced content
4:05 Super redundant, but ok) Especially considering that this power is not at consistent torque and will deflate at 2-3 min mark. We all know trucks are about lap time numbers). Not silly things like pulling sht from point A to B.
Well done probably the best cybertruck launch video that I have seen.
Thank you for not only demonstrating the advancements in technology but also describing them as a paradigm shift in thinking and the starting point of the future in automotive design. Elon's team are top notch and clearly not only re-imagining new products, they are delivering them. It's early days for this start up relative to the established and slowly evolving automotive industry…they are changing the world and it' only just getting started. Fantastic video production, sound, editing, and content integration. Well done. Can't wait to see more.
After making some of the most Beautiful EV's on the market. Elon has to make a monstrosity for a pickup! One word sums up how the Cybertruck looks….Hideous!
Excellent, thorough and fun review. No question the Cybertruck is cutting edge, industry leading technology and production. But it looks like it was designed by electrical engineers. With a protractor. About as thrilling to look at as a Pontiac Aztec.
If Tesla ever hires someone with artistic vision, they’ll be unstoppable.
Exterior was revealed 44 years ago as an Aston Martin bulldog.
That has to be the ugliest vehicle I've ever seen. Literally every comment is about the presentation and hardly any about the actual cyber truck.
Electric cars are riddicules. Specialy Teslas. Little kids toys with fart sounds and ps. Electricar cars are not a CAR. Tesla trailer and truck has to be the most silly invention ever made😂 ugly as f. Tesla truck looks like a dented toaster😂 feel pity on people who i buy them. Their iq cant be higher than their shoe size😂
Could this truck be any uglier?
haven't watched in a while… and yeah Hagerty is still lame, for the mass's car content…
Looks like it was built at home without the benefit of metal forming tools or skill. Awful.
People will buy this ugly ass truck…
6:37 casually backs up into a fridge and there's ZERO damage on the Cybertruck. Next level amazing.
Isn't Lexus the first to make a steer by wire vehicle with the RZ?
Hopefully it can actually do truck things like haul stuff and tow since the Lightning is really bad at that. The amount of range the Ford looses when loaded up is insane.
Randy Pobst 🤣🤣🤣
Back in the 80s, Martin Skanche`s 1.8L Ford was faster than the 2023 CyberTruck. It even had faster accleration than a formula 1 car. (No joke)
There's a lot to absorb here.. Angriest, most road raging cart driver I've ever seen, that was terrifying. Then, (not the first but) most incredible review of the Cybertruck I've seen so far that makes me want one. Thanks for hitting it with the hammer scarry cart racer dude. Nice work to your team on this vid, well done. That's a sub.
Infiniti has had steer by wire since 2013, it was an option on the q50 and in 2019 became an option on the qx50. The biggest difference here is that infiniti had a mechanical clutch as back up if the system failed. If it cut out the clutch would engage to give u manual control of the rack.
I wasn't expecting an infomercial 😅😅, got bored during the long dribble on the go 🛒 💤💤😴
Elon completely lost me way back at the "Ball-Bearing and unbreakable windows" idiocracy…
Throttle-by-wire, brake-by-wire, and steer-by-wire??
🤔 😬 🤨… NOT for me, thanks.
I wonder if we will see people rolling when trying to drive at its high speeds but at its full height
Elon is an inner child.
The Hummer’s weight vs the Cybertrk is an example of facing the “Rocket Equation”. The more weight, the more fuel required for orbit which leads to more weight. . .
Two cyber trucks hitting each other sounds like it would be disastrous. It doesn't look like it really crumples, presumably meaning a lot of energy is transferred into the car.
So the truth is a lot of people that buy pick up trucks doesn’t use it for its intended purpose but that doesn’t mean that they still don’t want that convenience as a regular pick up truck. This cyber is gonna be expensive, who knows what the payload would be, the towing capacity, and does it even have a lift gate in the rear? All those things come to mind when you think of pick ups nowadays. And for the ones that really use their truck for work this cyber wouldn’t be it lol. As Jason stated its gonna be parked next to another expensive car in the driveway lol
If this is supposedly the future, then we are in deep trouble and all car designers should be janitors… There's no other way to put it, it's needlessly ugly!!!
All Tesla delivers with any of their products is quarter mile times. Past that they're ugly….really ugly….dumb vehicles. I'm sure the build quality of this joke will be dismissal as the rest of their products. And this thing looks absolutely pathetic.
Great video, so much information on yet another technological engineering marvel from Tesla. Put aside the look of the truck (perhaps an acquired taste), but the technology and engineering is amazing. After watching this video, I struggle with the latest news of the UAW looking to 'take on' Tesla, as they attempt to unionize all non-union car companies. Makes me think of the saying – 'bringing a knife to a gun fight'.
