What MKBHD isn't telling you about the Cybertruck.

hey everyone meet Kevin here in this

video I'm going to review what

MKBHD didn't tell you about the Cyber

truck now let's start with the Tesla

Tire the Tesla spare tire first of all

yes this is what MKBHD had to say what

you're probably noticing though is

there's no spare tire no spare wheel if

you do want one you can buy one

separately and tie it up in the trunk

but you don't get one by default and

here is exactly what he's referring to

as you can see the price for this spare

tire kit is

$1,250 which is quite a bit especially

since most traditional cars come with a

spare tire and wheel that way you have a

spare tire when you need it now there is

an alternative to using up your bed and

I expect there are going to be a lot of

additional accessories that get

announced as a cybertruck actually

enters mass production and one of those

is from this company now you might not

be sure what this is but what I want you

to do is look closely at these bracket

mounts right here these bracket mounts

are something special they're an

opportunity for you to actually Mount

the back tire or spare tire that is on

the back of your cyber truck along with

in this case a shovel or other tools

which they've thrown on top of the

vehicle now this is not sponsored by

this company I just saw this this was

just announced and and nothing in this

video is designed to bash MKBHD if

anything maybe this is just new

information that came out since his

video or other perspective but this is

third party equipment announced by

unplugged performance which I think is

pretty awesome but what else did MKBHD

not tell you we aply heard that yes

there are these pretty cool rail systems

there's also some bed lighting you can

see on the left and right there's lots

of lights and there's also this uh sort

of a latch system so all sort sorts of

latch points where you can tie things

down with cables and they include the

bottle opener they're actually a whole

host of other attachments functions and

utilities that you can take advantage of

with this kind of rail system and I know

about this rail system because this is

inspired by none other than Mercedes

eltrak Mercedes elra is found in

Sprinter Vance specifically the cargo

editions the LTR is an Inc incredible

utility for Sprinter van owners and lets

you do some amazing customization we

also know that Elon Musk has been a fan

of the Sprinter van in the past and I

personally hope there will be cyber

cargo trucks in the future and cyber

passenger vans in the future just like

there are sprinters that's really

popular well passenger vans and cargo

vans are really popular in Europe but

they're much less popular in America

where the pickup truck reign supreme

these L TRS are pretty amazing though in

cargo vans I know because I used to have

a cargo van one thing I absolutely love

about these is this kind of

customization you can get drawers in

there cabinets in there now obviously in

a cybertruck I don't expect in the long

term you're going to have any kind of

standing Cabinetry but if you're putting

equipment or boxes back there you want

to be able to tie it down easily this is

a perfect way to do it but also I

wouldn't be surprised if in the future

we actually get some kind of customized

upfit boxes that might include drawers

or chests that lock into those rails

that are easily removable so let's say

you're a handy person you're going to a

job oh I need my electrical tool kits

and so you attach to the lrs the

container drawers that have your

electrical equipment or oh now I'm going

to Plumbing you swap them out at your

garage it makes the cybertruck very

functional now remember this is actually

called upfitting in the world of cargo

vans and I'm pretty sure Elon got some

inspiration from Mercedes for this idea

and the endless possibilities here are

actually already starting to show up on

the Tesla website here are some examples

this is the cybertruck base camp it's

quite frankly a tent that goes on the

back of your cybertruck it is

$975 now it's worth noting the little

window that is at the back of the Cyber

truck at the back of the Cyber truck bet

is a non-operational window so

unfortunately you're not going to have

the benefit of being being able to turn

on the heater inside the cabin of the

Tesla to warm up what could be the Cozy

area in the back of your car right here

in your base camped Tesla now that might

be okay because it's still a pretty

interesting way to go camping certainly

convenient and portable because look at

this base camp FS up into a package

attached to your lra not only this

though take a look at some of the other

accessories a a tailgate ramp so in case

you don't want to step up that about 2

feet to get up into the bed or you've

got a wheelbarrow to push up there or

whatever you've got a ramp and this ramp

will conveniently store in the bottom

portion of that cyber truck bed that's

right about here which Marque has also

showed us and there's a little bit of a

sub

trunk which is pretty cool to see so a

lot of EES now have a sort of a sub

trunk area this one no different you can

definitely fit duffel bag in there

probably a full carry-on bag here are

various different attachment options and

latches my favorite is this right here

the cybertruck locker divider see you

could essentially buy three of these for

$45 and then divide your pickup truck

bed very easily into 1 2 3 four

different sections because what what you

would do is you would slide in one two

three of these dividers attach them to

the L system boom done Tools in one

sorted in the back maybe you've got

water bottles and your lunch in the

other ready to go things up in the front

and then just an empty one maybe you use

it for trash or miscellaneous things

throughout the day it actually in my

opinion makes the bed a lot more

functional because rather than having a

bunch of stuff rolling around in the bed

all the time you have everything

compartmentalized another thing we heard

is there might be fingerprints and you

can see the fingerprints go so hard when

you open it like that and because

there's no door handles there there's

not really a good way of telling someone

how to get in so a lot of people are

just going to grab it right there and

fingerprint look at it's just tons of

fingerprints on the side here and let's

be real it's stainless steel so much

like a stainless steel fridge unless you

pay extra for the fingerprint free

version which doesn't exist at least

right now for Tesla you're going to have

some fingerprints on that Tesla but

don't worry Tesla will sell you a

$6,500 solution yes you can wrap your

cybertruck in this vinyl film for

$6,500 black it actually looks really

cool and it might be worth the extra

personally though I would like to take

this to a print shop and get my company

name on this film before they go in

install it probably something that you

could work out it's going to take a

little bit more effort but I think it'd

be worth it for a branding point of view

alternatively Tesla will also sell you

this a satin White Version I know

initially you might look at that and go

that don't look different it's very

different it doesn't have fingerprints

and it's also a little bit more white

rather than a reflective stainless steel

color this truck does not have a hazard

button it has a touch sensitive Hazzard

thing but then there's also your Park

reverse neutral and drive gears if you

actually want to change them up above

your

head uh I've never seen it there in any

car ever actually typically it's right

in front of you with the paddle shifters

or your gear selectors and you can still

do it on the screen like you can in

other Teslas but that that's

new it's not as new as you might think

now you might think yes up top is new

then it's true but take a look inside

the Tesla Model S plaid where we have

we're going to have to get by my laptop

stand hold on a second now in the car

just over here by the center console you

can see they've got these touch buttons

as well which are almost never used and

a lot of people don't know that if you

actually hold here you can get that same

row of buttons here for Park reverse

neutral drive but most people won't

actually use these buttons most people

are going to use this to go forward

backward neutral Park it's all on the

center screen side view mirrors um they

are removable and they've kind of done

all that they possibly can to make it

able to be removed like you can take

this off it has to ship with this from

the factory legally um but there is a

blind spot monitoring lights inside the

truck there are

cameras uh

here on the side of the truck to show

you that spot when you put your blinker

on so you can just pop this off if you

really wanted to now this part might be

new for newer Tesla owners or people

considering a Tesla but the reality is

that car is so good at knowing exactly

what's around you when that display pops

up showing what's around you when you

set your blinker not only are you

getting a display of what's around you

via the camera feed but you're getting

the digital representation of what's

around around you in addition to that

maybe I'm still a little traditional but

I don't like relying on my mirrors

anyway I was taught an old school method

of look over your shoulder to verify

anyway and this is the first time a

Tesla has actually included blind spot

sensors so if you got rid of the mirror

which remember you could keep the mirror

but if you got rid of the mirror you

would have blind spot sensor camera

3D representation and the good old crank

of the neck then it's

downside uh is going to be

one just that people think it's ugly and

that's fine a lot of people are going to

think it's ugly whoa hold on a second it

might be ugly but that is not a downside

that in my opinion is a feature see when

something is a head turner it's actually

a form of marketing see I just put up on

screen something that has a really good

function for attracting people to look

and generally the first thing people see

is oh look it's a real estate for sale

sign must be a realtor exactly that was

the purpose see in 2013 I wrapped my

Toyota Prius which used to tow this

solar powered uh trailer where I kept

signs and tools in as a real estate

broker to take care of my clients and

then in 2017 I got my model X which I've

Loved now my dad rides my black x uh and

this right here is an example of trying

to get essentially free marketing you

rrap to show legitimacy to your clients

for your business or whatever it might

be but if something is colorful

attractive or different it makes people

look and then when they see it over and

over and over again they start thinking

huh that person's always working maybe

if I need a realtor I'll call them which

could be true for not just Realtors but

insurance agents CPAs the supervisor or

boss of a construction company the

contractor the plumber the electrician

it doesn't really matter what your small

business is if you want more eyeballs on

your ads you're not going to get them by

wrapping a sprinter van anymore that's

been done everybody has turned a blind

eye to those but a wrap on a cyber truck

that is a feature

not a bug and two is it's more expensive

than we originally thought it doesn't

have that price Advantage I am driving a

$100,000 truck right now there's no way

around that the F-150 Lightning I'm

following right now is going to cost

significantly Less on top of that we

have the suggestion that Marquez is in a

$100,000 vehicle but wait a minute that

Ford Lightning you might be comparing to

and we don't know exactly which model

he's comparing to isn't necessarily an

Apples to Apples comparison the lowest

tier rear wheeel drive cybertruck with a

similar 250 mile range is

$6,990 much more similar to this

lightning Pro yes the highest tier of

the Cyber truck is

$100,000 but the lowest tier of the

Cyber truck is

$59,900 so wait a minute

$59,900 is starting to get a lot closer

to the equivalent well roughly

equivalent range and priced 2023 F-150

Lightning Pro in fact here is some

existing inventory of these lightning

pros and you can see once you actually

start getting matches here you're

usually sitting around 58 to $60,000

which is exactly the same price as the

lowest cost cyber truck now there are

more expensive versions of the lightning

and of course the Hummer and rivan just

like Marquez mentioned but it's worth

remembering when we're comparing Apples

to Apples the lowest price cybertruck

and the lowest price lightning are

roughly matched but In fairness the

lowest cost cyber truck is not yet

available on top of that when Marquez

talks about the battery extended range

battery that can be installed so there

will be an optional battery uh an add-on

battery that you put in the trunk that

adds 120 Mi of range it also has a ton

of weight cuz now you're hauling around

a huge battery but now you have close to

a 400 450 Mi range truck it's worth

remembering you're going to have to pay

to install that battery system at a

Tesla Service Center so it's not

something you could just plug and play

with as you'd like now of course many of

us know that at the moment electric

vehicles often have a $7,500 tax credit

that that could be limited by income or

Price a vehicle but one thing that is

cool which Marquez didn't talk about

either is that delicious 179 deduction

now talk to your CPA about this but

usually when you buy a vehicle for

business purposes usually within your

corporation which could be the S

corporation that you as a self-employed

person have usually what you do is you

accelerate the depreciation of this

vehicle which means generally you could

take about a 25% set of bonus

depreciation on a passenger vehicle so

for example if you have a

$100,000 vehicle you might be able to

write off

$25,000 of that year one plus the rest

over say 10 years to make math simple

which would be 75,000 divided 10 so

that' be another $7,500 you might be

able to take somewhere around a $32,500

deduction or more especially if you

depreciate it quicker which is pretty

cool now again talk to your CPA about

this but if you write off $32,500 and

let's say your marginal tax rate and

know it's getting a little complicated

is 50% your tax savings might be

somewhere around

$6,250 now what's cool about that is

you're probably going to put less than

$16,250 down on this car if you finance

it which means you're actually getting

cash buying a cyber truck make sure to
