How about making the CT have a 'tank turn' mode? One where you could literally SPIN the truck in circles!

Now THAT would be pretty awesome to watch! Not sure how they would do it, but it would be pretty kewl... hehe...

  • Tears up the ground on dirt/grass (bad look).
  • Hurts the drivetrain (and tires) on cement/asphalt.
    Warranty or shortening MTBF issues for sure.
Other manufacturers realized this and canceled the feature.

That's not how Cybertruck's rear wheel steering works. They actually help prevent the rear of the vehicle from hitting adjacent vehicles when turning very sharply.

That's because at slow and moderate speeds the rear wheels turn in an opposite direction to the front wheels. So, when turning sharply out of a parking spot, the rear wheels halp prevent the rear of the vehicle from dragging into the adjacent vehicle.

The rear wheels follow the front wheels more closely than in a vehicle with only front wheel steering.
This is true. It just takes some time to get used to it and be able to visualize the movements. Once you get it, it becomes really useful.
