Which would you choose - the Cybertruck or the Tesla Model Y? Let's compare
the two. Are you ready? Let's go! The Tesla Model Y is a new SUV based on the Tesla
Model 3. It has the functionality of an SUV. It will ride like a sports car so
this thing will be really tight in corners. It is a mid-sized SUV with a lot
of room, a lot of practical value, and it offers tremendous performance. And all
the advantages of an electric vehicle plus Tesla's full self-driving package
and so much more. The model Y is already in production and there are some on the
road. It's tough to get right now but it is available for some. So you want to
a truck that's tough? You want a truck that's really tough, not fake tough? Cybertruck
is a radical innovation with its stainless steel exoskeleton construction,
all the advantages of an electric vehicle,
Tesla's full self-driving plus an amazing array of features we've never
seen before in a pickup truck. This is gonna blow everyone away!
Cybertruck isn't available yet. There isn't even a factory. But it's coming
sometime in 2021. Let's see how they compare. The biggest thing to notice
about the two is size. Cybertruck is huge! If you look at these two clips from
first the Model Y Reveal event, you can see how big Elon is compared to the
Tesla Model Y. He's more than a head taller than the car. It's much smaller
relative him than what you're gonna see right now at the Cybertruck Reveal
event. He's barely taller! Elon's a tall guy but he's barely taller than Cybertruck.
It's 45 inches -114 centimeters- or nearly 4 feet longer than the Model Y.
It's nearly 2 feet taller -28 centimeters. It's nearly 4 inches wider - 10 cm.
This thing is huge! One thing that makes this comparison
easier is the Model Y and the Cyber truck both have different versions and
some of them line up really really well. The Model Y breaks down to the Standard
Range the law the dual motor all-wheel drive and the
performance model we're gonna see that this is pretty similar to some of the
options we're going to get with cyber truck cyber truck is going to be offered
with three versions the single motor rear-wheel drive the dual motor
all-wheel drive and the tri-motor plaid all-wheel drive here's how they stack up
the single motor rear-wheel drive cyber truck lines up very very well with the
standard range rear-wheel drive model why both at about $40,000 both with
shorter ranges and rear-wheel drive instead of all-wheel-drive at the
$50,000 price point cyber truck has the dual motor all-wheel
drive model why has both a long range rear-wheel drive and a dual motor
all-wheel drive both around $50,000 it seems obvious that the better matchup to
compare is the dual motor all-wheel drive model why versus the dual motor
all-wheel drive cyber truck the matchup isn't as easy at the high-end with the
performance model why at $60,000 and the tri-motor cyber truck at $70,000 but
we're still going to compare the two and see what the differences are as you can
see the single motor cyber truck and the modeled wise standard range have a lot
in common they're almost identical in price cyber truck is just a little more
expensive cyber truck has just a little bit more range model Y is slightly
faster the top speed on model y is slightly faster for me personally and I
think for most drivers that additional range matters more than a little bit
quicker 0 to 60 time or a slightly higher top speed but you might feel
differently the dual motor models are another very close match up cyber truck
is slightly more expensive in this case model y has slightly more range and the
cyber truck is a tiny bit faster 0 to 60 while the model y has a higher top speed
now here this is a tougher one because I think range is the most important of
those characteristics and model y does have slightly better range with that
said I would not be surprised to see Tesla offer long-range versions of the
cyber truck dual and single motor to extend that range it
is something they've done with model three and model y and it would make a
lot of sense and as I mentioned in another video there's a lot of room in
cyber truck for additional batteries I would cost a little bit more but that
might make a lot of sense but just based on these numbers that we see here I'd
say we have to give model why the edge it costs a little bit less and it has
significantly more range when you get to the tri-motor versus the performance
model why the differences are significantly bigger
first of all try motor is ten thousand dollars more than the model white
performance that's a pretty big jump but even bigger is the jump and range to go
from 315 miles to 500 miles 500 miles is a huge jump it's almost a 200-mile
difference amazing the zero to sixty time that is a big jump to go from 3.5
seconds to only 2.9 seconds personally I doesn't matter that much to me 3.5 is
still plenty fast but it's still a big jump yes model wise got a faster top
speed but how often are you gonna use that overall I'd have to give this one
handily to Cybertron this is where it gets messy when you look at the other
things aside from simple performance numbers and you just look at features of
cyber truck versus model y whichever model it looks like cyber truck and
model y have roughly the same passenger capacity when you watch the Jay Leno's
Garage video it looks like cyber truck might actually have a small third row
which could mean cyber truck actually could handle eight passengers another
key feature is storage capacity cargo capacity cyber truck has a lot more
storage capacity than model y with the model Y rear seat down you get 268 cubic
feet cyber truck crushes that number with a hundred cubic feet just in the
bed with all the seats up if you put seats down or used the back part of
cyber truck you'd have 130 140 cubic feet of space on top of that cyber truck
has so many other advantages it has the air suspension it has power outlets it
has a compressor built in it's got tremendous off-road key
ability it's bulletproof the storage capacity is even bigger than I mentioned
because if you lift the if you remove the bed cover you can stack things high
so it can carry taller things speaking for myself I don't see most of these
features mattering for me very much the air suspensions definitely a plus
when you're going on the highway it lowers you there's other advantages to
it I just don't seen it be that big of a
deal and you probably don't even need it in the model why would I use power
outlets maybe I probably never used the compressor I'm unlikely to go off-road
much at least to the extremes that cyber trucks advantages matter and bulletproof
while I like it it sounds good but I haven't been shot at in my life
yet so I'd like to have that feature and yeah I'd pay a little extra for it I
still think it's cool and I still think those are all pluses that add up with
all that said I am a little bit of a prepper and cyber truck is an excellent
vehicle for a prepper I do plan on making a video about why cyber truck is
so excellent for Preppers just to be clear I'm not talking about the
apocalypse when the apocalypse comes it should be glad as well we want to be a
leader in apocalypse technology but anything as simple as a hurricane
knocking out power and creating promise for a couple weeks or an earthquake
these are things that really happen in Florida and California and elsewhere the
cargo capacity in particular is amazing tremendously useful most people will
find use for that at some point in their lives and of course it's extra useful in
difficult scenarios like hurricanes etc the biggest thing that goes in the model
wise favor is size in a different way cyber truck is huge it's not going to
fit in your garage in many cases it's gonna take up a lot of space it's gonna
be hard to find a spot in the parking lot
it'll be hard to drive on some narrow roads especially in Europe but also
parts of America the model Y has much more modest proportions much more likely
to fit in your garage much easier to navigate much easier to park so it's
important to realize that if you're not going to use all the features that cyber
truck has to offer and you just want competent transportation that's
practical the model Y may very well be a better choice for you
that brings up another consideration if you get a cyber truck you're gonna stand
out in the crowd some people do not want that brash styling they don't want to be
noticed so much they don't want to be someone that people are gonna stare at
and a cyber truck especially in the early days in the first couple years
that it's out people are gonna be staring at this this thing looks like a
spaceship it looks aggressive it looks crazy a lot of people are not
comfortable with that we're a model why is a much calmer vehicle that will blend
in more and make people feel more comfortable that they're not being
stared at you won't be noticed even as a prepper you may want the grey man
philosophy you don't want to stand out in a crowd a couple things that model Y
and cyber trucks should have in common are the traditional Tesla safety
advantages plus the lower maintenance costs I think there's a good chance that
cyber truck will be better in both areas there's that bulletproof nature of the
stainless steel structure also model why has that traditional car paint set up
where if it gets scratched you're gonna need to buff it out you're gonna need to
get some kind of repair on the paint cyber truck being a stainless steel it's
not going to need any repairs to paint it's going to be fine the way it is so I
think you're gonna see slightly lower operating costs for cyber truck despite
the fact that it's a much bigger vehicle so overall that's a positive for cyber
truck as well one last thing that might be worth
mentioning is the cyber truck may get a higher premium price in its use as a
Robo taxi so if you're planning to own one of these vehicles and use it as a
Robo taxi letting other people ride in it for money you may get more money from
cyber truck because it has more capabilities that people should be
willing to pay for at the end of the day it came down to this for me the minute I
saw cyber truck I made a reservation as soon as I could I've reserved a dual
motor in the first hour I think model Y looks great I think it's going to be a
great vehicle I'm excited for Tesla's future with this vehicle making America
a great place and serving a lot of people
but for me personally cyber truck is the clear winner of this competition for
what I want what do you think now I'd like to leave you with some clips from
the cyber truck reveal event I hope you enjoy them please like subscribe comment
thanks very much here you go so it's adaptive damping and an adaptive
right right height these these are actually extremely important for a truck
there's trucks when you only drive them through either too pushy or they're
they're too hard you need a cable to adjust dynamically depending upon what
the load is if you've got a lot of people on board if you've got a full bed
in the in the back it's got to adjust accordingly the rear is 100 cubic feet
six and a half foot length bed length up to 3,500 pounds payload yeah it was
uphill
how does this compare to a Porsche 911
okay we're gonna give the Porsche a little bit of a head start
yeah this is like it does occurrence hardship in addition Porsche that's and
this is the actual truck that this is not CGI in terms of off-road performance
it's gonna have the best angular approach angle best clearance heights
best departure angle the people that really like going off-road this is gonna
be great you could basically do the Baja rally in this thing and it has onboard
outlets for 110 and 120 volts so you don't need a generator the truck
literally is regenerator and as of a plus because it's got an air suspension
we can tap off the air suspension so you have a pneumatic sauce to have an ya you
know onboard air compressor when you look at the actual cost of ownership
here it's it's you know you you're paying much less for electricity than
you are for gasoline you pay much less for maintenance there's no oil changes
no smog checks no nothing no that stuff so your maintenance is low your cost of
operations are low and so it's actually comparable to a truck a gasoline truck
that's ten to fifteen thousand dollars less
and load it on the back yes oh and it shot its part it's it's
currently plugged in and charging
