Well, if anyone drives their Cybertruck into mud, please post the entire video! ?

Seriously doubt it, their is less to go wrong with an electric motor that over-revs than an ICE engine. They claimed to have driven it on a level 4 trail. That is comparable to what we have done with our F-150 so entirely reasonable.

just a side note that is a brushed dc motor, the Cybertruck uses a 3phase brushless motor.
Yes it was just a visual. lol.

Two together is a little unsettling. Like celestial CIA agents or maybe a couple X-wings looking for the Mandelorian.
Anyone remember X Files? Would have been perfect vehicle for that show.

Probably burn out one or both electric motors with no friction or resistance in the mud, lol. 0-1000 rpm with no grip!

If only Tesla had SOME experience with some way to prevent the wheels from spinning uncontrollably. They could trademark it and call it “Traction Control”. Or maybe that is exactly what they are testing…

This is quite possibly the most aligned rear tail light I’ve seen on all the current cybertrucks.
The matte black one franz was driving the other day was terribly misaligned and same goes for other previous cybertrucks posted driving around.
Anyone else notice this too? Or just me? ?

How do I join nitpickers anonymous?
Listen, you first need to submit an application, then submit to a 21-point pop quiz, as well as a background and biometrics check. Then, you'll be approved for a six month level two approval period, and only after that, you'll...

I suspect that one or more early initial misaligned trucks have been given multiple different wraps. Dont see some of the early Camo wraps as much or at all.

Even my Zero, which has only rudimentary traction control, knows when to limit the motor before it burns up.

All EVs have motor controllers. And all being sold today have thermal controls, too.

Geez. Is the expectation that it needs to climb Moab, race in Baja, mud bog, do sled pulls at Monster Jam, tow 12 horses, and get 500 miles of range? The only action most of these will see are curb rash and speed bumps at the mall. Y'all need to chill with these
Out also doubles as a boat for half an hour and a submarine indefinitely!
