I got a pretty awesome video of them passing through down in Cabo as well
I note the first CT has two Starlink dishes mounted on a rack, and the second CT just one Starlink mounted directly to the rear roof without a rail or rack.

If the second one would be mounted a bit further back, it would be the most aero version.

Damn, this dude called it back in March!

He also called that the CyberTruck doors will both open and close, it’ll have all 3 dimensions, and be composed of atoms

I don't credit any prediction from MDR about Baja, because actually Elon had mentioned wanting the Cybertruck to 'kick butt' in Baja way back in 2020, so anyone following Elon or the Cybertruck would've known that testing in Baja was already planned and a foregone conclusion way before last March.

https://www.topspeed.com/cars/car-news/elon-musk-wants-the-tesla-cybertruck-to-kick-butt-in-baja/

On this very forum the @Administrator started a thread discussing Elon wanting to take the Cybertruck to Baja as well:

https://www.cybertruckownersclub.co...ce-with-all-new-air-suspension-says-musk.936/

(Again way before last March)​

And many more articles appeared like this too:

But man, MDR nailed it about having three dimensions and molecular composition - so he might deserve one or two quarks of captain obvious credit for that! :rolleyes: ?:ROFLMAO:

Heading to the Pacific to test boat mode.
Obviously they need to be delivered to me Australia ASAP. Pacific is the shortest way here.

I don't have any need for a light bar on the roof, but this one looks great. Well integrated and probably as low a profile as they could make it while still producing enough light.

looking at the wiper again I basically realize why a behind the glass version is terrible. It would reflect off it

$59k CT delivered 6/26/26

I read somewhere that the RC decals stood for software release candidate.

The CT sounded like a rattletrap in the video. It appears that Cybertruck validation may finally be winding down and the Delivery Day livestream event is very close.

You can do the same for sand driving, where most of the time it is better to keep momentum and a good percentage of wheel spin, which produces forward thrust, if you don't have your tyres deflated to the right pressure for flotation.
Tesla can copy Rivian ;) being they are so late.

https://stories.rivian.com/software-update-soft-sand-mode
Our latest Rivian software update delivered a new Drive Mode aimed at some of the trickiest terrain to navigate: soft sand.

When you push the button to put your R1 in Soft Sand mode, you are optimizing traction and stability control to make up for the limited traction and increased drag of driving in deep sand, which also helps decrease your chances of getting stuck.

Soft Sand mode is the ninth Drive Mode – four for the road, and now five for when it ends – to allow you to adjust vehicle dynamics for virtually any terrain. We designed our hardware and software platforms with plenty of room to be able to continually enhance your experience over the lifetime of the vehicle. With each software update, we add new features, evolve our UI and enhance existing capabilities—all software updates the vehicle can download and implement wirelessly right in your driveway.

Here's what you need to know about Soft Sand mode.

As an aging white collar type guy, Caravaner, and ready to slow down somewhat, I may look out of place having a performance Cybertruck kitted out with cool rack, lightbar, Dish, aerial, ready to take on Baja.

Who cares :ROFLMAO: :ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO:

FYI, Rivian has:
  • Off-Road Drift (30 seconds in)
  • Off-Road Auto
  • Off-Road Rock Crawl
  • Off-Road Rally
Track mode on Teslas allows customization and presets. I have a drift and snow preset. I don't see why Tesla couldn't allow us to customize off-road mode.
