did they change the rocker panel/ rear tire mud guard area?
This is my mine looks like (one side was damaged)

For sure, I would not abuse my CT that way but will use it potential for overlanding.

I wonder if the Cybertruck was speed limited to 40 mph for some reason. That part wasn't clear in the video.

Yes agree the locking differentials look very promising, and those rocks and hill together were tougher than most people would ever try.

I really care more about Autosteer. Please Add it already!

AutoPilot = TACC + AutoSteer [TACC ~= Adaptive Cruise Control / ACC]
It comes with all Teslas as standard equipment AFAIK.

I know right! It would be my daily driver if only it had autosteer

Yeah ?. I hope they release Autosteer sooner and not delay it until FSD is ready. I’m happy with just auto steer since I mostly do freeway driving.

I hope we will get at least autopilot

Official Cybertruck tweet:

Off-Road Mode and more updates rolling out soon Here’s what’s coming... –
Off-Road Mode Overland Mode – More consistent handling & better overall traction while driving on rock, gravel, deep snow, or sand. Baja Mode – Vehicle balance is improved & the vehicle handles more freely when Stability Assist is set to Minimal.




Locking Differentials (Dual Motor AWD) | Off-Road Mode
On uneven or slippery terrain, if a wheel has limited or no traction, Cybertruck can direct that torque to the opposite wheel. In Off-Road Mode, choose from Locking Differentials options on the vehicle status area or in the Off-Road app. Front Locking Differential (Cyberbeast Tri Motor) | Off-Road Mode Go to Off-Road Mode > Overland to enable Locking Differential feature. Cyberbeast tri motor has a virtual rear locked differential which is always working in overland mode.




Trail Assist | Off-Road Mode
It’s like cruise control, but for off-roading. Trail Assist helps maintain a set cruising speed so you can focus on steering. Trail Assist works as both a hill ascent and descent control helping to keep the wheels from slipping. Off-Road Mode > Trail Assist




Slippery Surface | On-Road
Better traction control on snowy, icy, wet, or slick roads to distribute traction evenly across all tires. Dynamics > Slippery Surface Dynamics > Engage Rear Locking Differential for increased traction (should be used temporarily only) Ride and Handling with a Load | On-Road Adaptive suspension now estimates payload more accurately & automatically adjusts damping to deliver a more comfortable ride & more consistent, confident handling. CyberTent Mode Levels the suspension so you can sleep comfortably on a flat surface in your CyberTent . Also keeps the tonneau cover open to accommodate your tent. Lights, AC & outlets will stay on as well if enabled.

Interesting that there is now a "virtual diff" always enabled for the Cyberbeast in Trail Assist. ^^

I thought the Baja mode is only available on Beast.

I used Baja mode this winter for drifting/donuts in my AWD, was a blast, eminently controllable. Loved the slider to control bias front/rear. Psyched for the improvements in the new update!

Yep agreed, Autopilot/Autosteer has been my fave feature for long roadtrips. Just did 10 hrs UT-CA yesterday and sorely missed basic TACC+Autosteer

I think the manual says to remove the front and rear ones to avoid damaging them when going off road.

ik for the front, idk if you can remove the rear. I looked at the repair docs and it said to replace the whole rocker panel for my damage.

Interesting! I think they should have made it where you can remove the rear ones. Seems logical.
