Mount Antero off-road trip - Cybertruck's Achilles heel; weight and throttle tip-in.

Speechless!! You my friend, are certifiably bonkers and I hereby anoint you as President of the Man’s Man’s Club! Wish I had the King Kong Balls you have to do something like that, but my level of craziness always requires some sort of escape plan! Haha. That video with you on the ledge is incredible! I know those 14’ers well and no chance I’d ever take a vehicle up there! With that said, the best pictures are with your GSD’s!

Impressive!

I am interested in some easy wheeling to ease into backcountry adventures. Ark Valley has some amazing places. Great write-up @CallsignVega !

Very impressive! You got one hell of a pair on you.

I have some experience with similar scenarios. My gravel driveway is a mile long and 600ft of elevation change with a few areas of similar grade and a cliff on one side. Fortunately, there's no switchbacks and is much wider. In the winter, I almost always use trail assist going down and speed up or slow down depending on the section. When I first got the truck, I forgot to enable "Slippery mode" and slid about 40 feet before stopping going down the hill. I put snow chains on to be safe and flicked on 4x4, I had so much traction that I couldn't slip on purpose.

Like most people said, it's a traction problem that can be solved with bigger and wider tires. It can also be somewhat solved with more options on how the truck behaves in offroad mode. Hopefully there's a Tesla engineer out there that cares about maximizing the CT's potential offroad
