Agreed. That's how much better the Off-Road Mode update made the Cybertruck's off-road abilities. ?

Tommy is much more EV open minded than Roman or Andre.. sometimes I really feel like anyone older than 45 just dosent get the Cybertruck unless your already in the Tesla Community.

Did you watch the beginning of the video? It was totally and irrationally negative. They haven't changed one bit.

What changed is they realized how good the Cybertruck is off road. They know they lose credibility if they are too overtly negative. It looks like they started the video ready to be negative all the way through, they made up an excuse for not lowing the tires to 36 psi (because they broke a tire bead on the 9,000+ lb. Hummer EV by lowering to 30 psi), they made up an excuse for not having an inflator with them (there is no 12V, as if all air pumps need 12V to work), they acted like the plastic bumper cover was worse than a bare metal bumper even though rocks will scratch a steel bumper and that's where the rust starts happening, etc. etc. etc.

To the young guy's credit, he really let his enthusiasm show through when the Cybertruck outperformed when the going got difficult. This is where they can't pretend it doesn't work, because the Cybertruck can outperform the Hummer on most challenges. I don't think the kid is as corrupt as his dad, he's starting to like being in the spotlight as a Youtuber.

They are definitely afraid to give any credit to the Cybertruck because they don’t want to upset their diehard truck fans and lose viewers. Just look at all the negative comments about the Cybertruck from their subscribers. Heck, they still won’t even call it a truck! The old man is the worst of them all. The video of him going to pick it up is hilariously negative. He acts like my son if I told him he had to go to a Taylor Swift concert. Why even buy it TFL??? All the good content has already been posted. Then they post their off-road video like a day before the off-road update came out to show their subscribers how ‘bad’ it is. Unsubscribed.

Likewise. Impressively objective, go Tommy.

I'm 65 and I love it. Roman doesn't quite understand many obvious things...JMO.

Yeah, I thought making it sound negative for the truck because they didn't buy a spare tire or a 120V air pump was really lame.

I always thing this channel had very unfair toward Tesla. They jump the gun, by judging the CT before the latest software updates. Now they know what the CT is capable of and they had to put in a few positive words. Because Tesla don't paid or give them free test vehicles. They almost never said anything great about CT. I would avoid watching their reviews of any vehicle. I still don't care for what they say though. I know my CT is awesome now and even better over time, rather then add more parts to make it perform well like the ICE truck.

I'm not a Tesla fanboy by any description. But I know what I'm looking for in a truck and this has all of those things, plus 100%+ more. Took mine to an off-road park Saturday and when I get a new power cable for my surface pro, I can edit and upload all the video from the CT cameras and my GoPro.

This tire inflator works perfect, I use it for all my tires now it is quick, easy and accurate every time from bike tires to truck tires and inflatables too.

I've watched their videos for a few years.
They generally don't do Tesla any favors. I remember a video where the compared a MX with all season tires to a BMW (or something like that) with snow tires, in the snow, then complained about the slippage on the MX. They clearly pointed out the difference, but I was hard to understand the point of the test.

I do actually really enjoy their videos and they give a lot of really good information.

Tommy says from the beginning that he's between a rock and a hard place. If he's too positive, the traditional truck folks will call him a fan boy, and vice-versa for the CT fans.

If you forget about the politics, there's a lot of really good information in this video too.
I've watched it several time just because I'm so enthusiastic about the CT.

In their first CT video it seemed like Roman was even getting upset with the CT because his couch, hanging outside the bed, got wet when it rained.

They all seem like "real world", good guys to me though.
