Climbing stairs with Cybertruck

[DjOtto]

Anyone know the climbing ability based on height / distance? I have an event where my truck will be the center stage inside venue, but seeing if we could forgo renting tow truck to lift me up, and just jack it up to climb stairs.

Prolly could just make a ramp for that and be fine.

Extract may be fun

I just worry about getting high centered once I clear the top…

Your wheelbase matters the most for the top of stairs, it determines your break over angle, along with height. But at first glance I think you'll be fine

If the top of the stairs ends in a flat landing, you will likely ground out in the middle of the truck side rails about 4 feet after your front tires clear the top stair. Two boards about 2-3" thick and 3-4 feet long, flat on the ground on the top landing should be enough to prevent contact (make sure the boards have enough friction against the concrete that they don't spin out from under the tires).

Depending upon the height of each individual step, and how smoothly you climb or descend them, you may want to remove the wheel fairings in front of each wheel (but it looks like you might not need to). Just go slow and have a spotter knowing what to look for. Or, go hog wild and replace them as needed, LOL!

And according to Google's AI, the best result it could find for breakover angle is 26°. ...which is above the of the angle Grok calculated at 25°.

But I'm not sure the veracity of the sources.

We need video of your success.

A couple of 2x6 boards and it will easily drive up. If breakover is an issue try launch mode. JK.

Truck guys ain’t never scurried… just do it

Have the ‘Jack’ waiting at the top just in case..


And be sure to get it all on video…

Boards are not necessary to drive UP the stairs, it's once you get over the top stair you might run out of ground clearance in the center of the vehicle. The boards I recommended (if needed) are to ease the breakover angle, they would be placed flat on the top of the landing to increase ground clearance by an inch or two if needed. The 35" tires on the Cybertruck will climb right up the stairs with no problem.
