No truck can 'Do everything'..

I want to know where and what impact caused the fail..

Reminds me of the CyberTruck from Joes GigaTex "CrabWalk Test"... clearly some issues and concerns with this RearSteer..

Yes, it's Unplugged Performance's Cybertruck that they've been hooning out at @KOH. A bit more details -- it's on stock factory suspension, but they added their wheels and bigger tires. Guess they found the limits of the factory suspension.

She looks good draped in mud, I can't wait to get mine out there and properly attired!

Good nobody is blaming the user nir making excuses for Tesla and the Cybertruck.

Again, I repeat, it's a truck and should do what a truck does.

What a way of asking for trouble. Tesla should not cover for the damage you recklessly cause to your own truck. I saw the way you drive, more abusive than normal off-road.

But that's not going to happen, is it? It's not a heavy duty truck and suspension is not up to it. It is what it is.

Wait till someone actually tries out the wade mode, and tries to cross a river or something. Not going to work out very well either.

Should it land on new classification then, like Pretend Truck or Snowflake Class? :p

Ford's and Chevy's break *all-the-time* off-road. But when a Tesla breaks, it's not suitable to be called an off-road vehicle. :ROFLMAO:

I come here for my daily dose of comedy.
That's why I have a Toyota, lol.

In Malaysian jungle, Land Rover.

And that those technicals (machine gun mounted pick up) are 4x4 Toyota Hi-Lux.

Yep by first intentionally installing wheels with the wrong offset to snap it off first?

Even if they build some superior parts, will the next structure up the chain be able to handle it?

I seriously hope Tesla done their due diligence on off road suspension testing.

It's seriously looking like there are some issues.
They took 2 of them from San Diego to the tip of Baja off road. That's just one publicly known test of probably hundreds more. Tesla knows the off-road limits.

Nice. Was it from rock crawling or just out of flats?
