"Stuck Detection" being considered for Cybertruck -- will give driver tips to get un-stuck

[ModelAZ]

Per Wes Morrill, lead engineer of the Cybertruck:

Have been considering "stuck detection" to give drivers a pop up suggestion when stuck with ideas on how to get un-stuck. Air down tires, try using trail assist, raise ride height, try sand mode, etc.​

I wish Tesla would do some sort of driving course similar to BMW except for off-roading

They need Bounce mode like Mercedes .

For those that havent seen this.. Mercedes added this to get out of sand. But it just reminds me of GTA5

Mercedesd Benz created a "jumping" mode to help get their SUV models out of mud and sand

As someone that has never been offroad or stuck in snow, I am coming clean and admitting I don't even know what "locking differentials" do.

I'm ready to be massacred gentlemen.

Most vehicles have something called a differential which splits the power from the central drivetrain to each of the wheels on that axle. Unfortunately, due to the rules of physics if a tire starts slipping, then all of the power goes there and none to the tire that has traction. A locker locks both of them so power is delivered equally on both sides.

A buddy has one. It’s hilarious. You can’t not laugh. We need it.

Instead of showing pop ups on the screen, just let the user know what settings are getting changed and do it - lock the differential, switch to extract mode, air down the tires automatically (yes), and start bouncing if need be ?. Last thing someone wants to do when stuck in a mud is to experiment different settings on a touch screen. ?‍

This is exactly what Ford did with the Bronco Off-Roadeo. I think every Bronco came with a free ticket to that (or maybe it was just for reservation holders)

You're (1) among friends (2) asking an honest question. @SwampNut / post #5 with quick, quality info.

For when the driver gets stuck in “sand”, in front of the beach club in South Beach or Palm Island

What they need to do is design a winch for it.

Yet another off road feature that nobody knows how to use?

I think internet rule #34 applies here. "Help me daddy Elon, I'm stuck!"

Front mounted grapple hook, launched with air and is connected to a winch.
