He didn't make the claim you suggested either. You're extrapolation of both our posts is entirely made up. Show me where anyone other than you suggested "he bought a Cybertruck, crashed it, posted pictures here on this forum that few people even know about, to slow EV adoption? ". You combined two different rational scenarios (1) crashed his truck and wants to blame Tesla instead of taking responsibility for poor driving and 2) found/faked photos and created a BS post to spread FUD as he was paid to do) into one stupid scenario and tried to say that others were saying that. Even editing my post to eliminate the part that didn't fit your picture.
They are boosted and if the boost fails they won't work without extreme pedal pressure.
Wow! Great detective work! This explains all...So I know exactly where this happened, and feel absolutely confident that this was driver error. I say this because I can count at least a dozen other times I've seen this exact same crash at this exact same spot. I also imagine that the fence was added by SMUD in the last year because I've also seen cars go over the little grassy hill twice and take out employee cars parked in the lot when they don't hit the pole prior to the fence being built.
The OP was coming over an offramp from the freeway and making a left. The light for the left isn't immediately visible when one comes off the freeway as there's a curve and a climb. Constantly, people try to shoot the light here when they see it is changing at the last second. But the ramp and the road don't meet at 90 degrees, meaning the turn is much tighter than most. And like all the roads around here, this intersection is long overdue for a repaving, meaning it is pretty slick.
The OP came off the freeway, saw the changing light late, goosed the go peddle to not miss the light, then hit the brakes late into the turn, after traction was already broken, forcing the ABS to try to do whatever it could, which given the weight and the non-standard turn angle, was not much.
For those asking about a diagram:
Incase anyone doubts I got the right intersection, note the building down the street:
It's nearly a 7000 lb truck, off angle, on all terrain tires, going over the rise of the central intersection on very old asphalt. It was never going to make the turn successfully at any speed above 20 mph or so. Depending on the entry speed of the truck, there might have been some limit to the steering angle too, thanks to the variable ratio. But without OP admitting to the actual speed he crossed in to the intersection at, we can never know that particular point with certainty. But being as this crash is common at this location, it's not at all surprising that a CT would have the same problem as every other vehicle pushed too fast into this corner.
