If all the tires are facing the same way, the tire would not know the direct between that and just driving forward. In fact, it probably less bad on tires than normal turning. It would be better for range and tire longevity, if it used crab walking for lane changes on the highway
It already does.
No it doesn’t, unless you have a source else where? This would be huge news if it had this.
Let's get real. You could demonstrate the Cybertruck pirouetting on a single tire, like a ballerina spinning gracefully on a single toe, and a true CT hater would not be shut down, they would double down and call it a stupid party trick.
yes it does already crab walk at high speed
i would not believe the Asia insider,
The physics of this is now hurting my head. If all the tires turn in unison, and at the same angle. With the forward momentum of the vehicle, why wouldn't the tires continue just going in the same direction, and the truck just be "dog legging" down the highway, without switching lanes. Also as someone else has said. How does the truck know if I'm changing lanes, or just going around a corner? I'm not saying it doesn't work, I've seen videos of it working, its just boggling the mind the more I think about it.
change lanes at 50 -60 mph and feel the smoothness
right and he was fired, the cybertruck crab walks at 45 mph when you change lanes
The vehicle will go where you point the front wheels in all cases, resulting in traveling in a circle if the rear wheels are normal. In crab walk mode, the vehicle will go where you are pointing the front wheels and the rear wheels in unison, resulting in moving laterally in a straight line at an angle to the spine or centerline of the vehicle. Those are the only possibilities. (Of course, if the back wheels turn in the other direction to how the front wheels are turned, you will go in a circle of a smaller radius than if the back wheels are normal.)
