I was about to say what the heck happened! But then why? I guess someone is having a little fun, perhaps even an unsubtle "dig" at Ford

@cvalue13 Get in there and do some Approach Angle, Departure Angle, Breakover Angle voodoo for us! Dammit, put your drink down and get to work!
PS, assuming:
  • that tire is the 285/65/20 we've seen elsewhere
  • no rake on the truck in raised mode
  • no hangy-down giblets under the CT that decrease correct measurement location
  • that a 34.5" tire when seated on a rim and under weight has a real world height of say 33"
  • that centerline of hub is about 1-1.5" higher than lower bodyline of CT
That all seems to square with ~16" of ride height clearance in lifted mode

We actually had some good dialogue the other day re off road height/ approach angle!
Tweet with approach angle
Rivian is cool cause small, will indeed be cool to see it stack against the Cybertruck!

*SHRUGS*

Only gud photo for any approximation of angle is departure - 29-ish

From @greggertruck tweet reference above.

That front tire air deflector is going to be short lived on some 4x4 adventures ;)

I would pull up to a Ford service center with that wrap and keep the camera(s) rolling.
That would send them scrambling I'm sure.

I had a dealership that I had used to buy a brand new car once. I hated that dealership by the time the car came. So while I waited for the plate, I reversed the plate inserts (front and back) they put on the car and wrote "This dealership SUCKS" on them. Of course the plate cover was the one from the hated dealership.

Then I started using a different dealership to buy accessories, do oil changes etc. The first time I drove up and got out to ask where the service and parts departments were, I had 5 sales persons at my car before I had even shut off the engine. Once they got close enough to read everything they calmed down. But I'm sure the hated dealership heard about it.

yeah, the inclusion of Lightning was gratuitous ?
They should have included the new Bronco. Ford did an impressive job breaking into that Jeep CJ market!! I got on a kick watching YT video about it for a while.

About the Vector for CYBERTRUCK, ask someone who knows!

Is the boo-boo from something that hit the CT? Or something that hit the Lightning before the picture for the wrap was taken?

Thinking about the bullet hole stickers one can get.
At least we can see under the torn 'SKIN' CYBERTRUCK is 'Built Tough' [ like a Real Truck'! ]
