Ahhh, okay. Boo’s the dog in my Avatar, born 23, she says hi.

Aww she is so cute. Now I have to apologize for extrapolating her name. Sorry Boo. Please accept my apologies for 23 times! ?

A Raptor and Tremor F-150 would have been just fine.

Here is the competition. Tell me how this is surviving a jump like this?

Not sure why OP is calling this a jump, driving off a 4 foot drop is VERY VERY different in physics and landing than "hitting a jump".

And those saying "X vehicle jumps just fine, look at youtube" great, now show the vehicle driving off a 4 foot drop and see how they handle it, again very different from a "jump".

I see an image with boat towed behind. Probably the vehicle is parked. How’s this a competition against CT nosediving from 4’ at high speed? What am I missing? ?‍

It wasn't a jump. It was a drop-off he likely didn't see coming

 

[valleyCPAP]

Definitely not a jump. This was more like an endo

It was supposed to be a graceful dive but ended up being a belly flop.

If I was Tesla, I give him a new CT plus $30K for taking the CT from him and studying all that happened, video and truck evidence of damage and how to redesign

what a great live example of a front end vulnerability in the CT design
I dont think any unmodified wrangler, F150, range rover, R1T, or anything would have survived that pounding
great video and then subsequent analysis video of the damage
would be great if Tesla could learn/redesign for such a pounding as to give future CTs more headroom on pounding ability, to stay in front of the radical pickup truck field?

Yeah, that probably won’t happen. His wallet will take a pounding for that repair. Seriously stupid shit being done here for YouTube views.

The angle of the landing is everything.

I have a Raptor, love it, but of I nose dived it with a bed full of bricks it would be bad.

It was supposed to be a moderate belly flop onto a flat landing, instead he nose-dived into rising ground. Sand is dense. He would have had a better chance landing on pavement because the wheels wouldn't have dug in, the forward energy would not have been abruptly absorbed by the sand.

I have 1400 miles on my Dual Motor, about a third of that is off-road. The Cybertruck has such a solid, easy ride on rugged terrain, it can lull you into complacency at speeds that other trucks would be begging you for mercy with jarring shudders, the Cybertruck can fool you into thinking you are operating a video game where you can do no wrong.

I predict we are going to see a lot more Cybertrucks mangled off-road, not because they are naturally fragile, but because inexperienced off-road drivers will become too complacent flying smoothly over rugged terrain and fail to recognize the scenarios that put the Cybertruck in a no-win situation. No matter how well a truck soaks up the bumps without shudders and rattles, without excessive side-to-side rocking, you can't argue with simple physics. Bury the nose into sand at 35 mph and the sand is going to win. Every single time.

I used to do a lot of sand dune riding. We called this type of feature a "Witch's Tit". Its called that because from the profile it would look similar to its namesake. Its a small drop off on ascending terrain. As you are approaching it will blend into the rest of the ascent because its at a similar angle to the sun. The drop off is hidden or hard to judge.

I did a similar dive off a witch's tit on a quad and ended up with my chin splitting open on the handle bar, blood everywhere. So I can attest that the physics behind this type of event are quite dramatic.

TLDR: You go fast, things go break.

Here is an example from the profile:

Except his mom won the truck for free
