Due to the nature of Cybertruck, which is made of bright metal with mostly straight edges, any dimensional variation shows up like a sore thumb.

This mode would be useful when camping in the wilderness (or, possibly, rock crawling). Sometimes you want to walk ahead of your vehicle as a spotter to check for boulders, holes, cliff edges, etc. You can do it with two people if one dismounts, but this would let you go solo.
