Cybertruck offroad tested on mud trails

[brur]

I drove the cybertruck on a very sloppy mud covered dirt road. It was so slick there was no steering ability at some times. I could plow ahead for tens of yards trying to get to the center of the road and the steering wheel could be in any direction without any response. Pretty scary. So I think mud tires should be thinner, that the current tires are for rock and sand/dirt.
But the worst part of the drive was when the truck sensed the wheels had no traction, they would simply stop. It is creepy having the total loss of drive because the driver always thinks a spinning wheel might do something.
At one point I had to quit, the road was not much of an incline but it would not proceed, just could not purchase traction so I backed up about 200 yards to a turnaround point.
Dry road only for now.

@brur, did you try all the different modes? I thought Baja turned off traction control so it would allow you to spin, etc.

In regards to the tires, I think they are just OK for most terrain, but not great for any specific one. Also, since most CTs (like all trucks) will be parking lot princesses, they're more geared for range/efficiency than to excel in mud, snow, etc.

Did you use the offroad mode or change any traction settings?
Take any pics of the conditions/truck for reference or any dashcam footage?

in the heat of the moment I couldn't get the truck to go into Offroad. I guess I never put it in park as I tried after having driven some while. my stupid
