It's not.
I hope that contraption hanging off the rear is rated for dragging across rocks, because it’s really out there in the way of a decent departure angle.
Wow - for $1000 you you get a die hard off roader to consult. With torque vectoring, low CoG, 8" adjustable travel in suspension this rig will out perform 90% of the specialty jeeps etc. sans ridiculous tires. Certainly anything stock.
While I mostly agree and the odds are stacked in their favor, I have to say the proof is in the pudding. Everything points to the Cybertruck being an off-roading monster, but until they get in the hands of owners, the jury is still out.
Sure they do, as evidenced by all the off road vehicles they’ve previously produced
Great engineers set their criteria and or benchmark against others. Then they beat each and every criteria. They don't have to have 100 years of experience. Tesla is an engineering company not a car company. They looked at the CT with a blank slate.
You have a wonderful attitude for someone on this forum. Maybe you need a 'glass half full' session with @greggertruck. Elon apparently grew up offroading so he has some experience even without experts, but you can be 100% certain that they have all the expertise they need to make a superb offroad vehicle. I have outlived my offroading days so I do not really have a dog in this fight. It is certainly the case that we won't know until they put it through some serious paces but you could be a bit more trusting. Of course, you can always drop your reservation and get an R1T, a Hummer, or wait for an eJeep.
For what it's worth - back at Roadster/ Semi event they had a dude that literally drives race cars and worked with engineering to build that car.
It will have them by law here in Australia, so the parts will exist to do so. And be available for salvage as soon as some Campbelltown dickhead in a WRX runs a red light after a night on the VB's.Is it possible, this Tesla will have amber turn signals to the rear? Safety reports say they are safer but Tesla has not used them in the US. This rear short looks like... maybe amber over the red brake?
I think we are close enough ?
A continuous lightbar can have all the required bright points as required by regulations.
That's the OG prototype you can tell by the fact the bed is stainless steel.
True, moving the charge port on the fender is another hint.
