Finally someone addresses tire pressure. All those videos criticizing the off-road capabilities of any EV truck need to acknowledge the tires have higher psi ratings for efficiency on the road. Off-road generally goes better if you release pressure from the tires so they are able to compliantly spread load over irregular terrain.

[@Some0ne001]

And that's why many of us think it's not a truck but just a road queen.

[@trondialsingh594]

​@Some0ne001 every off-road vehicle has to deflat tire pressure this isn't an ev thing

[@ArnoldoRangel]

Anyone know if the tires deflate on the Cybertruck with a touch of a button?

[@OCHOLAW14]

But they fail at actually addressing pressures. They are still running at 37+ psi, which is more than most ICE vehicles. For true offroading, or even driving on the beach/sand, you are going to want to be around 20 psi or less. With my jeep with traditional wheels (non beedlocks) I would air down to 16 or so for most offroading. 37 psi is still street pressures.

Cool to see stock versions of each truck go off-road. The overland version (with a tent on a rack) of the Rivian skewed things a bit for me. The lack of long-travel suspension, especially in the rear created bucking that was to be expected,. Both were noticeably nose-heavy vehicles. I thought that with the battery pack between the wheels and down low that they would be more well-balanced than they were. Airing down is very important. EVs are much heavier than my Tacoma but I thought they would have reduced the tire pressure more than they did for traction. All-terrain tires also leave something to be desired in sand and rock crawling, but again the vehicles were more or less stock. Decently capable for stock rigs. I'm interested in seeing them modified for true off-road performance.

Another video showed the battery drain is sever and youd need a charging station next door to be able to do this sort of offroading withoit worrying about becoming stranded.

[@Luka_3D]

For these sort of trips just bring a generator and some fuel. Once you stop to camp you can charge it overnight.

[@jaroslavjandek8365]

EVs thrive when off-roading due to slower speeds (exactly opposite to diesel-powered cars, that loose a lot of range due to excessive idling). Well, unless you are going up a literal mountain. Even then, you can simply go back down to gain like half the range back thanks to regen.

Did anybody else notice they did the jump with the Rivian without the tent? Next shot had the tent back on with some bent crossbars…

[@DemetriosMallous90]

I like both trucks, Rivian for sensibility, Cybertruck for silliness, both capable. I hope Rivian and Tesla sell millions of these.

Both are extremely capable. The Rivian has deeper wading depth than any other production vehicle. The CT doesn't have published figures, but lots have taken it through deep water.

@@GDM22 Things that float are often found to not suffer the limitations of depth of those that do. However the BYD U8 is a petrol car and not an EV like the Rivian and Cybertruck. At 3.6 tonnes it also requires a special commercial drivers license to take it on public roads in the EU and UK. Phillip.

Roughly £120k in my portfolio are in tech/TSLA stocks, can I get an advice on any other stocks that I can acquire to diversify my reserve across multiple markets while creating a comprehensive portfolio allocation that balances my concerns of risk aversion and returns that meet yearly inflation.

stocks are overrated now. buy gold , 5% in crypto . rest in cash. and wait for the stock/property/land. price to crash . but them after it stops dropping for 7 - 12 months at the bottom.

[@cliffm8846]

As a Cybertruck owner-Tri Motor Foundation Series (from Austin, Texas)-the latest software update will add more features to this truck (and there will be more update every month, for years to come, that NO manufacturer can do). Additionally, I have the Cyberbeast, which is way better than the Rivian R1T I traded in. Long story short, this video didn't really show what the Cybertruck can really do, as they only compared the Dual Motor to the R1T Quad Motor. Period.

Interesting you would assume this, when Tesla are said to spend nothing on advertising including social media, whilst companies like Toyota have massive worldwide advertising budgets, including significant spending on KZbin. Sounds like you just didn't like the conclusion.

[@ck17350]

I don't know that they were paid for this but they sure didn't mention a single thing about the battery life. Donut couldn't get an hour out of LA without needing a charge. The battery life of their Cybertruck actually ruined the outing because they were simply unable to reach the destination with enough charge to both go rock crawling and get back to a charging station. The range was absolutely abysmal making it completely unusable for off roading. The Rivian may have exactly the same issue but Top Gear somehow didn't bring this up once.

[@GDM22]

@@ck17350 I would find it hard to believe that it would only travel for 1 hour before requiring a charge. I don't know who Donut are but it sounds like their planning was pretty poor, recognising these vehicles obviously don't allow you to venture significant distances away from the charging network.

[@ck17350]

​@@GDM22So they were headed into the mountains outside of LA which is probably why they were burning up so much charage, but your point about poor planning... the point was, can an EV truck go offroading. How many charge networks extend into the wilderness? Hence my point about battery life for an offroading vehicle. You can't seem to get there and do your thing and get back. You've got to pick only one, so what's the point.

[@telman5221]

[@RossetBespokeButlers]

They should have put them against a Bronco or Land Rover or Land Cruiser and do some proper off-roading I feel that both tucks could have done more extreme stuff. Deep mud is the best test of a 4x4 as it tests the difs and traction.
