I guess those videos of the cybertruck getting stuck on the small incline that the ford had to rescue and the one where it got stuck in snow wasn't fud. Diff lock isn't available yet.

In this video it couldn't go up an incline that a Subaru crosstrek easily did. Tesla seems to always ship unfinished products.

It’s just a on road truck, not meant to
go off-road. Is Tesla misrepresenting it as one?

I'm sure it will do well once they have the diff lock enabled. It has an off-road mode.

Most people are not going to take the Cybertruck off road, maybe 1 in 20 people. My friend has a Raptor with the full off road kit, lifted etc, and it hasn't seen a day in the dirt, and probably never will. That said, the Model Y can beat jeeps off-road on uphill sand dunes:


If the Y can do it, the Cybertruck will one day beat everything off road. The Cybertruck is still a work in progress (half baked as mentioned), and mostly early adopters are buying it. Geeks, not off-roaders

On the plus side he said it only cost him $13 to charge to 100% at home.

200 miles unloaded 🥴 not efficient whatsoever.

I know I used this analogy a lot, but when I bought my first Smartphone (Samsung Galaxy), despite it having a giant battery, I was lucky to get 4 hours out of it, then I had to put it on the charger. Regardless, it was many times better than what I replaced it with. Today I have a smartphone that is probably 4 x the computing power, yet the battery can easily give me 48 hours with normal use. Lots of debbie downers then, today most of them have smartphones today and couldn't imagine going back

I know it’s forbidden to speak bad of Tesla on this forum.

But someone has to tell the whole story. 💀

You can say anything about Tesla you want, on this forum, but if it's incorrect, than expect pushback. I criticize Tesla all the time, on this forum

I come to realize owning an EV is an adjustment/different experience from driving a gas car. Some may look at it as innovative/the future. Others may look at it as an inconvenience/2nd fiddle. But for those who are on the fence, it would be nice to know both sides of it, the good and the bad.
