I actually enjoy these videos LOL. The kid in me clicking the bait . The sound of the Tremor V8 is amazing, but if I was towing, I would take the RAM. Of course we already knew the Cyber Truck would do the best as far as 0 to 60.

What I'm surprised is the Tremor only has 400 hp? That was a bit surprising to me

because they already knew the outcome and were just intent on showing their dislike of CT.

and because finding off road situations the CT isn't good at is pretty easy. and pointless except to diss ev's. like why don't that have an f150 lightning there too?

because off road 'challenges' just seem very juvenile to me.

but glad you find it enjoyable. once again, we're all entitled to our opinions. no one's right or wrong.

i dont know, they updated off road was good, silly parts are usually comparing it to modded truck... oh no it scrapes the bottom compared to my buddies lifted truck with custom shocks and large wheels.

I think youtube audience will be very annoyed with Cybertruck current and future offroad abilities

ha, well, it's probably only a matter of time before a CT enthusiast does a lift kit and other mods to shut people up.

Lift kit on this will not be easy at all because of the suspension setup and the rear steering…

Eh 14 inch clearance is plenty....if I am an owner though I wouldn't feel comfortable driving any EV off road. Would be too worried about damaging the battery.

No idea about the CT but the battery on a Model S is made from a quarter inch thick ultra high-strength titanium, which protects the battery from nearly any roadside force or piercing. I suspect the CT battery has even better protection.

The battery pack is the least component you need to worry about. It's the most protected part of an EV, designed to handle impacts. Any EV designed for off-road is going to have extra protection for the battery pack

I know but I've seen owners have road debris damage their battery packs. Personally would be too paranoid to do it. When I say offloading I am referring to big rocks, would y have any issues if it's mud, sand, gravel, etc. but when I have to start questioning if I have enough ground clearance then it's a no for me lol.

Finally got to get up close and personal with a Cyber Truck. They definitely have presence, and whatever you think of the looks, the inside is roomy and comfortable. Excellent seats.

I don't think you really have to worry much about off roading the CT, I suspect 99 percent of buyers won't even take it in the dust
