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
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.
The torque issue would be really easy to fix. The beauty of EVs is everything is computer controlled, so it’d be as simple as programming in a “low” mode by making the motors deliver power/torque on a much more gradual curve relative to pedal input (emulating a traditional gearboxes low range gears). The weight might be less of an issue at that point, although it’s still going to be a problem no matter how you slice it
Yes lower RPM of the tires and some sort of electronic locker front and rear would probably make this perform much better.
It kinda looks like a golf cart wrapped in foil
cut-out, hah
Feels like very few trucks and “offroad-ready” vehicles nowadays are actually cut out for real offroading
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
