  Hello everybody and welcome back to the show.
• 2:22
  Welcome Back, today's topic is about cyber truck.
• 2:28
  The brand-new Tesla vehicle that was just launched and is all
• 2:34
  over the place. All over the news all over
• 2:38
  everything. Mainly because it looks crazy.
• 2:43
  Okay, so it's a post-apocalyptic looking crazy truck that I would
• 2:50
  be okay with driving. That's my first thoughts as my
• 2:54
  first impression. It's so crazy that it looks
• 2:58
  pretty cool. You know.
• 3:00
  It's not one of those things where you're like, that's crazy
• 3:03
  like it's actually ugly. It's actually really nice
• 3:07
  looking. That's my first thought of it.
• 3:10
  It doesn't look traditional and that's totally fine by me.
• 3:12
  Me. So, my first thought was my
• 3:16
  first reaction. When this thing was rolled out.
• 3:21
  Is what in the hell is going on? I wasn't sure.
• 3:29
  I had no idea what this thing was first.
• 3:32
  I thought it was a joke and then I got super happy because it
• 3:37
  wasn't in the reason why I guess super happy is because Tesla's
• 3:43
  doing things that nobody else is doing.
• 3:46
  You know, from the original Roadster, like who is going to
• 3:50
  build an electric super fast sports car?
• 3:54
  No one except Tesla. and then you fast forward to a couple
• 3:59
  days ago, cyber truck is launched it, who's gonna do a
• 4:04
  post-apocalyptic blade runner-esque truck, With the
• 4:11
  performance of a sports car. They can hold a lot of stuff in
• 4:17
  has an exoskeleton made out of ultra hard 30X stainless steel.
• 4:25
  And then it has armored glass to no one's going to do that.
• 4:29
  Test is going to do it. They can do it.
• 4:31
  Why wouldn't they do it? this might be a vanity item, you
• 4:36
  know, it might be one of those things where Rich and Powerful,
• 4:41
  the Rich and Famous Drive these things around because they're
• 4:44
  cool and different. They want to make a statement as
• 4:48
  totally fine. But for you and me.
• 4:53
  I'm not a truck person. I'm a, I have a Subaru, Outback.
• 4:59
  Like an older one and I love it. I think it's great.
• 5:03
  Eventually, a model 3 would be cool.
• 5:07
  But I looked at this thing, I looked at this truck.
• 5:10
  And I said, I would probably get that.
• 5:15
  So it's the the bottom version, the bottom.
• 5:20
  What is it? Single motor rear wheel drive
• 5:22
  version? is about the same price as The
• 5:30
  model 3 is 39,900 and then you go up to the dual motor.
• 5:35
  All-wheel drive for forty nine thousand, nine hundred, and then
• 5:39
  the tri-motor all-wheel drive for 70,000.
• 5:42
  So the base model is about the same price as a model 3.
• 5:45
  So I thought about that for a second.
• 5:48
  If I were to get this thing, what would I do with it?
• 5:54
  Single motor rear-wheel drive is probably the one I would get
• 5:58
  because it's more in my price range if I actually have that
• 6:00
  kind of price range if I have 40 Grand to spend on a vehicle.
• 6:05
  Would I save up for another 10,000?
• 6:07
  So I could get an extra 50 miles of range in an extra, you know
• 6:12
  2,500 pounds of towing capacity and two more seconds to less S 0
• 6:20
  to 60. I don't know, I don't know, but
• 6:22
  the all-wheel drive would be really nice.
• 6:26
  There's also a self-driving package that you can get for
• 6:29
  seven thousand dollars more. So the price for that might
• 6:34
  increase in the future. So if you were to buy it today,
• 6:37
  you know, you pay the extra 7000 on it, so you can secure the
• 6:40
  seven thousand dollar price. So they can basically build out
• 6:43
  the models and stuff and the self-driving, you know, it it's
• 6:52
  It's not needed for me. So my thoughts about the Cyber
• 6:56
  truck? Are that it might be cool to
• 7:00
  have it. just to drive it around, you know, and if I
• 7:06
  needed to haul lumber which had probably never will in my entire
• 7:09
  life I could, you know, and I think that's why people get SUVs
• 7:14
  and white people get trucks. Like, well, if I ever need to
• 7:17
  haul something, I'll have the ability to I got a out back
• 7:23
  because I was like, well, if I ever need to throw a mountain
• 7:25
  bike in the back of this thing, I can and then I, you know, I
• 7:30
  did it, I threw a mountain bike in the back fit and I, you know,
• 7:33
  I used it for a lot of things, I towed some things with it and I
• 7:38
  also use it as a place to sleep when I was camping.
• 7:40
  And when I was traveling, it's not gonna throw a little
• 7:43
  mattress in there, asleep in the back of that in the Cyber truck.
• 7:48
  There's a bed in it, you could fit a any TV in there.
• 7:51
  You can fit Lumber not a lot of lumber it's not super long bed.
• 7:56
  But you can fit six people in here five or six people.
• 7:59
  I think, let me see here. Yeah, about five people 12.
• 8:04
  So driver's side, passenger side and 3 in the back that you can
• 8:07
  probably stuff somebody in the, you know, the far back in the
• 8:11
  bed if you want to go to be sneaky and like sneak into a old
• 8:14
  movie theater, a old Drive-In or something that you could do
• 8:17
  that. But also in the future, they're
• 8:19
  going to offer a solar panel for the back for the bed. so it
• 8:26
  could constantly charge as you're driving from the Sun, its
• 8:32
  equipped very well, the The tires are beautiful. 17 inch
• 8:39
  touchscreen, of course. They have a air compressor on
• 8:43
  board. So what's uses the suspension,
• 8:48
  by the way? The suspension are so the, the
• 8:51
  air compressor can do other things so it can use.
• 8:54
  You can use your tools with it, which I don't have.
• 8:57
  So I'm just a normal person telling you, what I think about
• 8:59
  this thing. I'm just like I go to the
• 9:02
  grocery store, you know, I drive to a place where I go running,
• 9:06
  which is kind of silly, but it's a cool place.
• 9:09
  I could just run. Just run out my front door.
• 9:12
  I just keep running like Forrest Gump.
• 9:15
  And then, you know, my life is pretty straightforward.
• 9:18
  I go to the places that I want to go to from A to B.
• 9:21
  I don't do a lot of like, crazy stuff.
• 9:25
  Where I would need a truck where I would need the Cyber truck but
• 9:31
  it's pretty freaking cool. so, when the opportunity comes up
• 9:37
  for me to buy a new vehicle, if I come in to forty thousand
• 9:41
  dollars anytime soon, It's going to be a toss-up for me.
• 9:46
  Cyber truck would be rad. That's the only way I can
• 9:49
  express it it it's gonna be rad but the range you know 250 miles
• 9:56
  for single motor. I'm not really feeling, 250
• 10:01
  miles. We don't have many charges
• 10:03
  around here. So the model 3, let's check that
• 10:06
  real quick because I know the model 3 322 mile range all wheel
• 10:12
  drive, so I get an extra bunch of miles out of it, right?
• 10:17
  So, the mileage is really one of those things I love to drive.
• 10:21
  I would get an extra. What?
• 10:22
  70 miles. Per charge.
• 10:26
  So that would be really nice. So for me, I'm kind of in
• 10:31
  between cyber truck is cool, can't fit a ton of stuff in the
• 10:35
  model 3. But it would be really cool to
• 10:40
  have either. And if you want to let me know
• 10:44
