Cybertruck loses Motortrend comparo to Rivian and Hummer

[future_yas]

can’t take these MT writers seriously when they can’t even get the most basic facts straight

one example: “its unimpressive turning circle means it doesn’t put its four-wheel steering to good use the way the Hummer does”

fact Hummer is SHORTER and has a turning radius that Is several feet BIGGER than the Cybertruck! It’s under 42 feet while Hummer is ~45ft!

No credibility…

"In two-wheel steering mode, meaning only the two front wheels turn, the Hummer EV turning circle is 44.3 feet or 13.5 meters. With four-wheel steering, meaning all four wheels turn, things get even tighter, enabling the supertruck a turning circle of 37.1 feet or 11.3 meters."

Hummer EV has a turning circle of 37.1 ft with 4 wheel steering engaged. This is shorter than Cybertruck even after its recent update that reduced it by 1.6 ft. (43.5 - 1.6 = 41.9 ft)

Interesting that MT list the Hummer’s turning radius at 44.9ft…perhaps they are comparing standard driving modes…

EXACTLY! But this seems to be the trend in media lately...never letting FACTS get in the way of a good story...


BTW, please don't think I'm a conspiracy theory guy. I'm just pointing this out, since I've seen this time and again in stories that pertain to domains that I have vast experience in. Ones that are based on hard numbers, data, and facts, not opinions or philosophies.

Unfortunately, Cyberfreak is the one that got the facts wrong this time. Hummer EV has a turning circle of 37.1 ft. Cybertruck is 41.9ft.

I have a bird poop stain that wont go away. The manual might be right and it can cause lasting damage. I have not given up yet though, there might be a product or method to clean it. I plan on wrapping eventually to make it easier to hide when it is dirty, because historically I only wash my cars once a year.

Service can get if off pretty easily if all else fails. They did it for me.

Why are fingerprints a bigger deal than door dings and scratches? Show me the other trucks after 12 months of use. Can't wipe away panel damage.

Exactly! This is why I am so into the Cybertruck. No paint damage from driving in ski traffic with the stupid gravel on Colorado highways.

Can't wash away dents, dings, or paint damage!

That's the Rivian R1T at 44.9ft. They have the Hummer EV listed correctly at 37.1 ft.

Cybertruck will get future updates to shorten the turning cycle. They are waiting on more data, I presume.

Not really. They don't like Tesla because Tesla doesn't give them any ad $.

Why would they bite the hands that feed them? More importantly: Why would MSM be "nice" or fair to Tesla?

Musk is disrupting 3 separate industries all at once: transportation, energy, and media. So of course he will get hate on. The onus is on smart consumers to see BS from facts.

So the left wing MSM likes Elon Musk on X now along with Tesla ? Really ?
