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
Yes, but very few other trucks also have Elon Musk’s stupid ass going up on stage claiming they’ll “Have the best approach angle and the best departure angle,” and “You’ll basically be able to run the Baja 1000 rally in it.”
Wh… the approach and departure angles are atrocious, just look at it. The man really will piss on your leg and tell you it’s raining.
Looked like the driver was sweating balls just trying not to get beached on camera.
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.
That jeep is awesome.
I had a guy on one of my old delivery routes that had a WWII jeep he restored a drove everywhere. That thing was absolutely amazing!
Thanks for the direct link, saved me needing to visit the article.
Uh… where are the headlights on that thing?
They’re super heavy, not something you want over rough terrain…
Last year a woman driving a Honda EV got stuck in the snow near me. My nephew, my brothers, myself and two of my sisters tried to push it out of the snow bank. We barely managed with a lot of shoveling and traction aids.
With any other car two of us would have had it out in five minutes. The weight of those batteries is a problem
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 has worse aerodynamics than a double wide getting pulled down the freeway.
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.
That is one stupid ugly vehicle.
Definitelt ain’t winning any style or beauty awards.
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.
Uhhh check the difference in the tires on the two vehicles, pretty sure that makes a difference
I think that the most difference is the weight of the two vehicles… Most modern cars are way too heavy, and the cybertruck is an extreme example of bloat
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?
The only difference is that when it comes to repairing the clutch on the jeep, you can just go get a coffee with your Tesla because it doesn’t have one. I bet that the Tesla just needs a lower gear to win that competition. The jeep wins because it’s very light and has a low gear.
If the tesla wants a lower gear won’t it need a transmission first?
