YouTuber tries living in his Cybertruck to see how practical it really is
You only have to look at Tesla's Cybertruck to realize it's a beast of the automotive world.
Although the Cybertruck got an impressive price cut toward the end of 2024 due to slumping sales, the fact you're paying $80,000 for the base all-wheel-drive model means it's not exactly a cheap runaround.
Still, if your Cybertruck could double up as a car and a home, you can kill two birds with one stone.
We already covered the Cybertruck owner who hammered his vehicle and lived in it while he drove it 500,000 miles and even journeyed the Arctic Ocean.

While it looked fine as a temporary solution to provide shelter, it doesn't exactly seem like a long-term solution to standard accommodation.
Now, YouTuber PeterMC put the Cybertruck through its paces and attempted to show whether you can comfortably live in one for 24 hours.
As he notes, the Cybertruck is electric AND has its camp mode, meaning it's already got plenty of features that bring it closer to being a mobile home than your typical car.
PeterMC famously lived in his Tesla Model 3 for seven days, so this one should be a piece of cake.
He noted that the bed of the Cybertruck is bigger than some trucks, while there are three power outlets for you to plug in all your must-have appliances.
Although most of you wouldn't try this, the first thing PeterMc did was throw a tarp down in the trunk and turn it into a mini pool for bathing in.
Obviously, we wouldn't recommend filling an electric car with water.
On a more serious note, he said he loves the 'Cyberpunk' of the Cybertruck and hopes to own one of his own one day instead of renting one for a YouTube video.
Getting into the actual testing, he plugged in the Cybertruck because it was low on charge, attached a space heater, and then hunkered down for the evening.
Cooking burgers and rolling out a mattress in the trunk, he put on his heater and managed to get a good night's sleep - albeit setting off the car's alarm when he exited the bed.
In the end, PeterMC concluded that you probably could live in a Cybertruck, although we'd do it a little more conventionally than him.
Responding to the video, someone else said: "Stealth camping in the bed of the truck is crazy đ looks like you had fun with this one tho."
While an entertaining video, not everyone was convinced. Someone else concluded:
"Theoretically the best car to live in? Like... why? It literally has one of the lowest space to size ratios of any car. Any old delivery van clears a Cybertruck in usable living space on top of being square, which is kind of a good shape to be if you're trying to build a mini house."
Of course, he didn't use it in the typical camp mode that Tesla intends owners to use when roughing it in the wilderness. Shush, don't tell Elon Musk.
