Why did the guy act like the Lightning had the highest towing capacity? O-o

The Lightning drove worse in almost all cases so that was better and more work truck somehow? : P

And they clearly never clean in a kitchen.

'Simple is unfinished!' stupid.

'I bought the special early edition with the extra price so I expect features that aren't the regular item!'

'I don't know how to use the windshield wipers!'

'Steering is novelty!' idiot.

'Trucks should drive badly! Lifestyle Lifestyle Lifestyle Lifestyle!'

'...The Lightning is the worst.' 9-9

'Since we didn't care about towing or cargo, only mature software, the Cybertruck loses to the Rivian.'

Watching it this very moment. As someone who had a Lightning Platinum, has a Launch Edition R1S, and now has a Cyberbeast, each has its unique strengths and weaknesses. One day after I’ve had more seat time with the Cybertruck (got it on Monday) I’ll put some thoughts down and share.

Be interested to get your view. For the most part reviews seem to be paid reps for Ford or Tesla zealots. Neither of which is very insightful.
Cybertruck is the first electric truck I have driven more than 50 miles or so, it is very fast compared to ICE trucks but it is electric so of course it is.
The features of the CT at the pricepoint are way less than a high end ICE truck but that is kind of an apples and oranges comparison. Viewpoint of someone who has driven EV trucks would be more helpful.

I did not even watch it or anything from MT. I know the outcome based on advertisement dollars.

…please post your prediction. Which did what and how/why?

The most noticeable thing to me was watching the 3 climb up that rutted road. Where I live, one errant manzanita branch and your beautiful Rivian paint job is done!

Most noticeable for me was the climbing prowess.. good to see all together, how each handled the terrain. Was very apparent

I suppose these comparison videos are useful for those who are undecided on which truck to buy. Or are they? I didn't watch it because I've already made my choice, so the only reason to take the time is for entertainment. How many stars did you give it?

I stand neutral.. to avoid being rated as a hater altho I have a reservation and still love my ModelY.

no vehicle is perfect..

Quality control comments are disturbing. It could be the difference between me accepting delivery or not.

Then again, probably will not have truck before June, which is a good thing.

Lots of useful information within..

The CT is unfinished...sadly not unusual for Tesla. Missing the Silverado EV and Ram. Ultimately, these are all different vehicles each with their own appeal and, for the most part, will attract different buyers. Makes "which is the best" kind of pointless.

Ultimately, whatever you think of the CT, it is the one that is going to shape the future through its engineering innovation and the shear audacity of its design. The others will sell a lot of pickup trucks but be forgotten over the course of time.
