Cybertruck Jump - Dukes of Hazzard Style

[thejanitor214]

So this past weekend I took the Cybertruck Dual Motor out to Cycle Ranch outside of San Antonio, TX. This is a great motocross park that also has a "Raptor Track" for side-by-sides and trucks.

I know this was the 2nd CT to visit the park but not sure if the 1st to actually jump on the track. The first lap I sent it at 45mph which I thought was conservative but still was enough to catch some air. Then I sent it at 50, 55, and then 60mph. All felt really good up to 60 but I probably wouldn't take it faster than that. It was plenty of air (4ft ish) and I still had enough control on the landing to make the turn.

Overall, it was very easy to handle this around the track and still push it safely. We traded off camera work for riding and took about 10-12 laps that day.

Offroad Settings:
Baja Mode
- Handling Balance 60 to Rear and 40 to Front
- Stability Assist Standard
- Locking Differentials off
- Rear Steer enabled
- Terrain Rugged (Very High Height)

Damage:
- The only piece that broke was one of the mudflap plastic pieces in front of the rear tire. That had an impact on one of the higher jumps that popped the piece off. Same as with the other Cybertruck vs Raptor vs Rivian video had when they jumped it. No other damage other than that. Notice I also kept the tonneau cover open for that reason too.

And a video with no audio to hear those tires rip through clay

Cool time. Please shoot some horizonal video next time and you'll get more of the action. (Though, it may not fit some formats as well)

Totally! We've got both and still waiting on some go pro footage straggling behind.

Awesome! Love the Dukes of Hazzard connection. Wholesome show that gets a bad rap these days.

That looks so fun! Thanks for the post!

Wow looks like fun! Nice Job!

Awesome jumps. I live in Austin and will definitely check out this dirt track once I get my Cybertruck

Also good job keeping the tonneau open. Saw a bunch of jump videos where it comes off the tracks if left closed

Amazing and thanks for sharing! I always get uneasy when owners are jumping with their trucks but it looks like it handled it like a champ.

Exactly! And sounds great! I'm looking to see if the next CyberRodeo can happen here.

Couldnt be easier and safer! This track is built by professionals. They even came out and watered the track down before we shot that day. Great folks.

That is so smooth! I love it.

I did notice the nose come down pretty sharply in the air. That might happen if you let off the accelerator and the torque from the regen braking kicks in. But you landed it, so maybe dont change a thing

Yeah I definitely will play with this next time. I let off right before the jump like you saw. The regen brakes were off but the lack of wheels turning was enough to dip the nose. Thankfully there's a lot of Raptors who also go out here every month that have been giving their pointers too.

Every first weekend of the month are Raptor Days here at the track. For comparison, the Raptor is about 800lbs lighter and will hit this jump at 55-65 to get similar air.

Yeah man, you landed it and it was smooth. Keep doing what you are doing, that was awesome.

The manual does say for off-road driving (the numbers are actually 6 and 7, but the following was a copy/paste of an ordered HTML list, I think):

1. Remove wheel fairings: Cybertruck has pieces of plastic trim that descend in front of the wheels from the rocker panels on either side of the vehicle. These are the wheel fairings. The wheel fairings increase aerodynamic performance and range, but may be damaged while driving off-road over rough, uneven surfaces, rocks, or obstacles. To prevent damage, remove the front wheel fairings before off-road driving. For more information and instructions for removing the wheel fairings, refer to the Do It Yourself Guide (see Do It Yourself Maintenance).
2. Remove wheel covers: To prevent damage, remove the wheel covers before driving off-road. For more information, see Removing and Installing Wheel Covers.

If it was me, I'd also think about having inexpensive plastic hub cap covers to keep dirt out of there, when driving with the wheel covers off.

Pretty sure I recall someone took the rear flaps off too; but that seems to take longer and isn't in the DIY guide.

Since at least the front wheel fairings take a beating under those circumstances and often get broken or lost, it seems reasonable enough to take them off for off-road driving.
