“It’ll never see the light of day…” So says the perplexed gentleman standing next to what we have just explained is the production version of a pickup with first deliveries at the end of the month.
But here it is, the new Tesla Cybertruck – less a vehicle, more an A-list celebrity, hounded wherever it goes. But you know about the hype already. What you don’t know, is what it’s like to drive. What it’s like to pilot a 3-tonne, 5.7-metre, 875hp spaceship around the roads of Los Angeles…
Fortunately, TG’s Jack Rix has all the answers – as well as an in-depth Q&A with the Cybertruck’s design and engineering bosses on the tortuous development story.
Clear your schedule, here’s 40-minutes on everything that matters.

jeremmy ma man,where are u?
step aside, hikux with a flak cannon on the bed, ploughing into people you don't like taken to the next level
7 minutes in and I have a feeling Top Gear have only been allowed to review if it’s all positive. More like a sales pitch for Tesla. Top Gear wouldn’t have sold out for a car company in Jeremy’s day. 😢
25:05 its stupid and dangerous
So does the flux capacitor come on the base model?
Everybody is hiring shills these days.
BEWARE
I think, it is ugly. More like an armored vehicle. I like curved lines, not so straight.
The Cybertruck is a middlefinger to all other OEMs.
Lots of nice features, it’s just a hideous looking vehicle, out right ugly
How I understand it – it has mega expensive exoskeleton, which will be ultra expensive to repair, full of delicate tech like adjustable suspension, which will be (again) ultra expensive to repair / service. After warranty this car/toy will be to expensive to use.
Elon cucked
That's the nastiest car I ever seen. So so ugly.
where offroad hoons?
Get your money back the specs were changed, it doesn’t carry the original spec payload, the top end cut performance
Has anyone noticed two identical blue Teslas with identical license plates at the end?
This was a 41 minute long commercial….
Great review of off road capabilities.
Not.
Cyber-Yuck
This vehicle will crush small cars and the survival rate will be unacceptable.. this is like an armored hummer
That's a whole lot of effluent beach side suburb over compensation.
i love when the old guy said “it’ll never see the light of day” when he was standing right in front of the car 😂😂😂 DELUSIONAL
What a try hard heap of crap. I'd rather catch the bus.
Great to hear from the engineers!
🤮
Looks like it was designed by a 4 year old. Disgusting!
It literally looks like how I drew UFOs in fourth grade.
super boring car American's cant beat the allegations design work is poor
lets face it, if any other producer came up with this half done fridge, all the tesla boys would have ripped it apart and called it for what it is. how is this the future of design? they actualy say that they rushed it and it shows. By the way, i like Teslas, but this is a joke! even they now its crap, otherwise they would have put the Tesla logo on it.
Fun car and great engineering but its not user friendly. Its a car not computer, so all options in one screen is never good thing. Also there is good reason why in normal cars most important information is shown behind steering wheel.
Oh I saw "top gear" but its without Jeremy, what a sneaky advertisement lol
Looks like somthing a father and son would build in a garage
Great review v well presented with alot of info – the flick up rear seat straight out of a Hilux 🤫
There are too many buttons that are overdriven by a factor of 100."
U o M
I Wish
Games are the same, your looking there wright.
