It has a lot of accessories 

The Tesla Cybertruck does come with plenty of add-ons, such as bright headlights, a spare tire, and a range extender battery. It also has an 18-inch touchscreen on the inside and a 15-speaker sound system.

There are a few noise leaks

Looking at the thing one might think that it’s well-sealed. But the Telsa Cybertruck does reportedly have a loud cabin.

There’s a claim that it can tow 5.5 tons

If it’s true, then this would be one of the best towing trucks on the market. There’s still no verification as to whether this affects the vehicle’s electric range, but that’s an impressive number.

There are reports of steering issues

This is a horrible issue to have since it makes a truck incapable of driving. The Tesla Cybertruck had a few issues that were revealed in testing, and it’s uncertain if that’s being fixed or not.

It can go from 0 to 60 in 2.6 seconds

This idea of needing to go this fast in such a short time feels like a young person’s game and a point of pride. But something this heavy, heavier than a Ford F-150 no less, shouldn’t physically be capable of reaching the kind of speed in so few seconds.

The visibility in the driver’s seat is very poor

The futuristic design and the deep dashboard are kind of an issue for visibility. If you can’t see people in front of you then it’s tough to attend to their safety without added cameras.

The volt architecture could help

It means less overall body weight and greater efficiency. Not only that, it means that the Tesla Cybertruck might take less time to charge, and the battery could last longer.

No door handles could lead to confusion

This is about aesthetics, not function. The fact that there’s a button on the window column to open the door is nice, but how many people are going to remember this?

The Cybertruck can get up to 340 miles per charge

One thing about any vehicle is that there has to be an infrastructure in place to support ease of travel. In other words, even with this kind of range, which is affected by several variables, there still need to be a lot of charging stations in place.

There’s an issue with the braking system

With something this big, high speeds become dangerous unless your brakes are solid and can handle the task of slowing down this beast. When a truck rates a four out of ten in braking though, it doesn’t inspire a lot of confidence.

The autopilot feature is standard

There are a lot of automatic functions that are great for drivers who might need them. If they work as expected then it takes a lot of the risk out of driving.

There are reported structure issues

It’s tough to know if the whistleblower’s reports are completely valid or not, but when structure issues are brought up it’s tough to remain confident. The idea that constant use could damage the Cybertruck over time is concerning.

It’s designed to be indestructible

Being resistant to several things that are known to damage a vehicle doesn’t mean it’s above them entirely. Plus, until this is proven, it’s more hot air than substance.

There are issues with the autopilot

So, this comes standard, and there are still bugs to work out. While the idea of autopilot is nice, the fact that there’s a question as to whether it functions properly or not is troubling.

There are plenty of safety concerns

Between the autopilot and its indestructible nature, there are a lot of issues to be solved. In a lot of ways, the Cybertruck appears to be a step forward, but it might be forward into a pitfall of issues.
