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.

    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

        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.
