New videos of Tesla Cybertruck off-roading appear to show it struggling to climb up a steep dirt hill::One video showed a 1946 Jeep CJ-2A successfully navigating the same hill that the Cybertruck struggled to summit.
Crap article that doesn’t even have the video in question. Here it is. The Cybertruck sure does look unimpressive in the video. It’s making weird rattling sounds too. This thing looks like a shit box.
The noises are someone in the background, not coming from the truck
I think you’re right; seems like it’s coming from the guy putting his car on a trailer. Cybertruck still looks like it’s not cut out for off roading though
Feels like very few trucks and "offroad-ready" vehicles nowadays are actually cut out for real offroading
They should 100% be able to handle that offroading…my Elantra would be able to get up that hill better then that deformed junk pile
cut-out, hah
Look at the tires, they are pretty suboptimal.
I switched to an EV 3 years ago and there is way too much torque at low rpm. The power curve just probably isn't designed for loose dirt. Not to mention the cyber truck weighs a billion pounds.
Uh… where are the headlights on that thing?
It doesn't need them, it uses the reflected light of other cars to see.
Thanks for the direct link, saved me needing to visit the article.
Criticizes the "no-video article". Posts Meta link :/
But yeah, that's a bucket-o-bolts!I mean that is the source.
That is one stupid ugly vehicle.
Definitelt ain't winning any style or beauty awards.
God damn is that thing ugly as fucking sin. It’s like they went out of their way to make it as fucking ugly as possible.
It's kind of cool in a retro futurism kind of way but no shot I'd be rolling around in that thing.
I unironically like it.
However, it does need to have an automated machine gun turret to actually tie the aesthetic together.
I hate Elon Musk and I still like the cybertruck.
I'm ashamed but I'd probably buy one and be happy with it, 100% in the city, doing mostly light hobby work, towing a boat, or locally camping.
It has worse aerodynamics than a Jeep Wrangler, too.
It's not even "off road". It's struggling to climb a steep, dirt road. Also, anyone who buys a Tesla at this point is a moron.
I mean what do ppl expect, it looks like it has normal road tires and weighs probably at 5 k pound… Any truck with that weight/tire setup would struggle…not defending tesla but the expectations are quiet off…
I think people expect the truck with instant torque to do truck things
Cybercar
I had Skoda Yeti, which is 4k pounds, I had road tires, and the car is not even considered a true off-road vehicle. But I climbed hills like that easily, sometimes on cruise-control (I'd disabled it here because of a sharp turn)
Uhhh check the difference in the tires on the two vehicles, pretty sure that makes a difference
While it's pretty pathetic that a modern 4WD system can't control wheel slip quicker than that, those drivers obviously don't have a clue what they're doing.
Driver definitely didn't look confident in their ability or seem to have any kind of plan.
It looks like the driver was struggling more than the vehicle
Didn't it struggle climbing a curb? What makes them think it can off-road?
