The Cybertruck was put through rigorous testing recently to see just how durable it is. It was kicked and smashed, with a full review, and here are the results.

Cybertruck - Full Review and Rigorous Testing
At the beginning of this video, the team at Carwow were seen looking at the Cybertruck and doing some testing on it. The body panels are made of stainless steel that is very tough.
That means you can kick it as hard as you want. As the other members of the Carwow team joined in with their kicking, their kicks simply glanced off the Cybertruck, not leaving any marks.
The back of the Cybertruck is basically a big box and is its least interesting feature. The stainless steel can't be bent around the car, it is flat panels.
The side and diagonal angles show that the Cybertruck looks very different and futuristic. Elon Musk's son even said, that the future should look like the future and was supposedly an inspiration for the design of the Cybertruck.
The Cybertruck has a 1.2-meter-long windshield wiper. That's nearly 4 feet long.
The front of the Cybertruck has a bar that functions as the headlight and looks far different than other trucks with two headlights.
The Cybertruck is a little more expensive than what was unveiled 4 years ago, from around $50,000 to $96,000 for the "Cyberbeast." Those who are taking the first deliveries are also getting "Foundation Series" Cybertrucks with special features and engravings.

What Else About the Cybertuck?
The interior is pretty decent and if you look at the dash, you can see that the stitching is a little "wonky" according to Carwow. Because this is a pre-production vehicle, it's not indicative of the production Cybertruck versions.
There is a center console that is high up with cupholders and a lot of space in the middle between the two front seats for whatever you want to put. Some wished that a third seat was there instead.
The glove box is pretty slick, with a drawer that slides in and out. This is different from any glove box I've seen, which just has a "door" fall down and up.
The front also has a large center console screen with a very responsive UI.
The seats are comfortable, however, the reviewer at Carwow didn't like how the head seat protrudes forward. I think those who make seats for cars don't really take the human spine into account. I wish they did!
The back seats have plenty of legrooms and a flat floor, along with a second center console screen.
A downside to sitting in the back seats is that if you are much over 6 feet tall, and there is any kind of bump that causes you to lift in the air, your head will hit the glass ceiling of the Cybertruck.
5 Annoying Things
- There is a small rearview mirror that is useless once you shut the tonneau cover - there is a camera that displays what is in the rear
- The Cybertruck most likely won't be sold in Europe due to strict pedestrian regulations - the Cybertruck will supposedly hurt a pedestrian with its hard edges, however, the ends have been rounded off for safety
- The dash is so deep and the windscreen so far away, which makes it hard to clean the glass windshield
- The doors don't cover the bottom seals - when you off-road, when you get in and out, you drag your legs over the back of the seals and get dirt all over you
- The cameras aren't easily cleaned, which doesn't work well when the rearview camera gets dirty - Tesla needs an automated solution for cleaning its cameras
5 Cool Things
- The only production road car that has steering not connected to the wheels - the wheels don't move when turning the steering wheel with the car off - turning the car on connects the 4 wheels to the steering wheel signals
- You can change the drive mode to off-road and change the off-road mode to Baja and lift the Cybertruck up with air suspension
- If you want to, you can run appliances with normal plugs - or connect it to your house for up to 3 days of energy usage
- For a pickup truck, it is aero-dynamic. It has a drag coefficient of .34 CD - a Ford F-150 has .44 CD
- The front and rear chassis are made from one single piece. They are pressed out of aluminum ingots - using the giga press from Idra
The Cybertruck handled and drove very comfortably while being able to accelerate exceptionally fast.
They also tested out shopping carts hitting the Cybertruck, but they caused no dents. Even with a human in the shopping cart, it simply bounced off the Cybertruck without issue or denting.
Carwow calculated a real world range of 294 miles, which was less than Tesla's EPA range of 320 miles.
Their verdict is: BUY
