Unlike most of these off-road vehicles you refer to, the Tesla is extremely heavy and requires very stiff tires which cannot be aired down like others to give you the edge for the traction. Sadly as nice as it is it is basically a mall crawler. I would like to see it compared to a Subaru in the same situations.

[@chrisharvey3202]

Yeah I read in the Cybertruck Manual to Remove wheel fairings: Cybertruck has pieces of plastic trim that descend in front of the wheels from the rocker panels on either side of the vehicle. These are the wheel fairings. The wheel fairings increase aerodynamic performance and range, but may be damaged while driving off-road over rough, uneven surfaces, rocks, or obstacles. To prevent damage, remove the front wheel fairings before off-road driving. For more information and instructions for removing the wheel fairings, refer to the Do It Yourself Guide (see Do It Yourself Maintenance).

[@danharold3087]

@@rmat9023 To more easily see this think about a truck on a 30 or so degree incline. Gravity is trying to pull the truck down the incline. The more weight the more it pulls. If we add enough weigh it will break lose and slide back down. It is more complex that this but it illustrates some of the problem. The cyberTrucks were designed to be inexpensive to build. Yes they are high now but they are also profitable after 1 quarter of production. The casting eliminated around 400 parts. No significant paint shop will save huge and the line does not wait for paint to dry. If they get a handle on managing the SS this could be the shortest fastest build ever. Short + fast equates to lower cost.

[@USMC6169]

You haven’t figured out that ALL manufacturers do this? You make it seem like it’s only Tesla. Why did TFL even buy this if they knew the update wasn’t already out? They complain about the yoke steering wheel being too small….yet the steering on an airplane is even smaller, yet the plane is orders bigger, don’t hear them complain about the planes steer by wire…lame. Making news of non news for clicks.

[@The2001cobra]

E-lockers are not a safety thing. Self driving is. Tesla sucks as an actual automotive company and they used to be a tech driven company. But they're having issues as usual with research and development especially with more volume they are selling now. I worked on them when they pulled the techs too help with quality control on the assembly line. What I saw was the reality of a government backed tech company making cars (aka Tesla) compared to a Ford or Mercedes assembly line. They are going to fall behind very very soon in their own game. It's going to be the opposite of what investors say along with critics on the big legacy brands.

You should always lock the rear wheels when going over uneven surfaces because slipping caused too much load. As for the Cyber, it's not a truck nor an off-road vehicle. It can barely compete as a vehicle.

[@BlueDually4x4]

It was nice of you to let those people check the truck out. I am concerned about the throttle control, it shouldn't need full throttle when the main upside to electric motors is max torque at zero RPM. It also has the stiffest air suspension I have seen, the 2006 Kenworth T-800 I used to drive with four airbags per axle had more flex. That is a lot of tech and money for "meh" performance.

There’s a false premise that every “truck” is made for 4wheelin’ and another that every “truck” should be 4wheelin’ capable.

[@tropicaljupiter]

You’re right. But you have to ask “what is a truck?” And then “is this one?” Also, did Tesla suggest this would be good for off roading? If so, fair play to test it like this.

[@Turbo.M777]

@@tropicaljupiter Technically a truck is "a large, heavy motor vehicle used for transporting goods, materials, or troops." Not every truck is for rock crawling, mudding, or transporting troops for that matter :D But since its new, everyone wants to see the Cybertruck attempting to do everything every *different* truck can do.

[@Gyppor]

It's not false when the thing is equipped with 16" of ground clearance, 4WD and locking diffs. It is spec'd out like a full on off roader.

Both the Raptor and the Cybertruck have two bad off road qualities. Too long a wheel base. Really limits where and what they can do off road.

[@christopherbrand5360]

The aero deflectors in front of the wheels are intended to be removed before serious off road work. They are there to improve range on the road, which is the vast majority of use the Cybertruck will be put to. I'm not saying I like it, but there is some sense to it.

[@Parker53151]

Both trucks are ridiculous for rock crawling. They can’t do what a CJ will do. Use them for blasting across a desert, which was the original design intent for both trucks. That and looking so very cool when mall crawling.

[@donhappel9566]

Sadly the Wrangler is the last man standing in terms of outright capability off-road. Everybody just wants to make go-fast desert stuff with 700 hp because it looks/sounds flashy, but a $50K (ok, they are getting pretty pricey too) Rubicon will walk right around them as soon as the first obstacle appears on the trail.
