The Tesla Cybertruck is one of the most talked about cars in the world, thanks in no small part to its controversial design. You either hate it or love it.

The angular pickup has been in production for a few months, and several reviews have come out since last year’s rather bland delivery event, including our own, where we found out that Tesla’s truck didn’t exactly rise to the expectations. Now though, it’s Doug DeMuro, car reviewer, YouTuber extraordinaire, and friend of InsideEVs, who had a go in the Cybertruck.

Doug DeMuro on the Cybertruck

Despite its "heinously ugly" design, the Tesla Cybertruck is "just plain cool," car lover and YouTuber Doug DeMuro said in his review of the angular pickup. Towing, payload capacity, and other "truck stuff" don't matter when everybody turns their heads to check out a Cybertruck driving down the street, DeMuro argues.

In the 40-minute video embedded at the top of this page, Doug lays out all the quirks and features of the car, as he usually does, mentioning that the Cybertruck doesn’t have the so-called Autopilot and Full Self-Driving assistance systems. However, the pickup does have adaptive cruise control but the steering is controlled by the driver, and the two aforementioned advanced driving assistance systems (ADAS) will supposedly come at a later date through a software update, together with the ability to (virtually) lock the differentials.
