Two years ago I got tired of waiting and built

my own electric military Humvee.

Today we finally have both vehicles side by side to compare what

Elon was able to accomplish with, you know, what I was able to accomplish.

And as always,

a scientific scoring system will help determine the winner.

Mine of course is not quite finished

yet, but let's be honest, neither is Elon's.

Let's start off our extremely scientific scoring

system with the tires.

Each of these vehicles has four tires, so I think that's four points

for each of us.

Starting off strong, neither of us gets a plus one for a spare tire, so we're

sitting at a tie.

I also think we give one point for each windshield wiper, which means one point

for Elon and two points for me.

My Humvee is also more expensive than a Cybertruck, which makes it

more premium-er, so I give myself a point for that one.

The Cybertruck does have internal air

conditioning, but I have organic air conditioning.

And since organic is trending now, another point

for me.

And while the air conditioning is organic, I do not have a cab heater since heaters are

really difficult to install and suck a lot of power.

I also do not have a heater for my battery

pack, which the Cybertruck does have.

So two points for Elon.

Elon's Cybertruck gets about

318 miles of range on off-road tires.

I haven't officially tested mine, but I think it's around

a hundred, so we'll just give Elon the point for now.

This is going to be a close competition.

Another point the Cybertruck wins is with the external power in the back, a 240 volt plug along

with two 110 volt outlets.

And in order to test that out, I brought some cookies and a full-size

oven.

I'm not putting on an apron.

And cookies are great, but if you want a healthier meal

made in seconds, might I introduce my channel sponsor, Hewl, and their nutritionally complete

Hewl Black Edition cookies and cream shake.

I've lost and kept off about 15 pounds in the last

year, all thanks to counting calories and paying attention to what I eat.

With each scoop of Hewl

Black being exactly 200 calories, it's been super easy to keep track of what I'm consuming in a day.

Hewl Black has 27 essential vitamins and minerals, 40 grams of plant-based protein,

and no artificial sweeteners.

I mean, look at the ingredients.

All you have to do is add water.

It's been super convenient and filling, and I've been enjoying it for years.

Yeah, it tastes healthy, but that's kind of the point.

I usually have two scoops of cookies and

It fills me up and I'm legitimately a fan.

Plus, with your first order, you'll get a free t-shirt

and a guide to get started.

Hewl has helped me eat healthier and hopefully they can do the same

for you.

I'll leave a link down in the description.

The Cybertruck can tow 11,000 pounds and I too

in my EV Humvee can tow 11,000 pounds just not very safely.

What was that, Zach?

I'm just

just not very safely.

I probably for like five minutes, short periods of time before something

breaks.

Honestly, I'm probably closer to 5,000 pounds towing capacity.

I'll give Elon this point.

The Cybertruck has one large display in the middle and the EV Humvee also has a display

pretty close to the middle, so we both get one point.

Elon has 10,000 pound-feet of torque on

the CyberBeast, but I have 12,000 pound-feet of torque once I gear down into four low on my Atlas

transfer case.

One point for me.

Elon has ABS brakes, which is a nice safety feature to have.

I also have brakes stolen from a Tesla Model S, but just the compression part and not the wheel

slipping intelligence part.

So one point for Elon.

Elon can charge at 350 kilowatts through a version

4 supercharger, while I can charge at 8 kilowatts from the plug in my garage.

Another point for Elon.

Elon's battery pack is about 800 volts while mine is 450-ish.

Elon has a front trunk, which I don't

have, but since there's no safety sensors and it can munch your fingers, I'm actually going to

subtract a point for that.

Both have enclosed truck beds, which means we both get a point.

One thing that I was not expecting Elon to do was come up with a 48 volt low voltage system.

I didn't

know we were competing on that, but now I know for next time.

No one can really tell what a 48

volt system does from the outside, but from the inside it's actually pretty cool.

Underneath the

passenger seat is where I keep my 12 volt low voltage system.

I came up with this system to

distribute power to the headlights, the steering wheel, the display.

And in order to get power from

the high voltage pack into the 12 volt battery, I have this giant 2 gauge cable.

I use that 2

gauge cable to pull energy from my DC to DC converter.

The DC to DC converter is this guy

right here.

It's 1500 watts, which means if we're bringing it down to a 12 volt system,

it needs to be holding 125 amps, which is why the cable itself is so thick.

Now if I had built a 48

volt system instead of a 12 volt system, which would have been impossible since there's no off

shelf 48 volt components, but let's just say I did, I could have used a much thinner 10 gauge

wire.

1500 watts divided by 48 volts equals a peak power draw of 30 amps.

And the less

amperage we have, the thinner wire we can get away with.

Thinner wire is cheaper, lighter,

easier to work with, and easier to install.

So Elon gets a point for this one.

We both have 4 wheel drive.

Yeah, the Cybertruck can individually and intelligently control the

wheel drive, so we each get a point.

The body panels of the Cybertruck are stainless steel,

and they are technically bulletproof.

My aluminum panels are not, so plus one for Elon.

And maybe I'm alone in this, but anytime I get out of a truck, I always grab the top lip right here,

but stainless steel is just not that cozy.

If I reach up to get out of my Humvee,

turns out there's a bare metal lip there as well.

Nobody gets a point.

One thing I will take a point for, however, is down here.

Elon has stuck a plastic kick

plate right here with imitation welded beads.

It would have not been hard to have a robot lay

down sometimes and make that out of stainless steel instead.

Just saying.

I take the point

because my kick plate is pure metal.

No plastic here.

The Cybertruck has rear wheel steering for

a tighter turn radius, which is a huge deal.

The Humvee is the size of a boat and has the

radius of a football field.

The vehicles are almost the same size, but the Cybertruck is

quite a bit more nimble.

The Cybertruck has three rear seats.

I have no rear seats since I filled

them all up with Tesla battery modules.

So three more points for Elon there.

When it comes to

ground clearance, you might think I would win with 16 inches of differential free ground clearance,

but the Tesla Cybertruck actually can extract to 17.5.So Elon gets one more.What Elon has

factored in though is that my EV Humvee has 10 shackle mounts where it can be carried from a

helicopter or tossed out of an airplane, and those are pretty cool.

And I think that right

there is where we stop the count.

The Tesla Cybertruck is an incredible piece of engineering,

but true beauty lies in the eyes of the beholder.

Good game, Elon.

Thanks a ton for watching,

and I'll see you around.
