Cybertruck is supposed to have a dynamic air suspension.
Will Cybertruck skip over potholes by dynamically switching to using only 3 wheels (lift a wheel before/over pothole)?

Apr 16, 2020 On Twitter, the Tesla CEO Elon Musk hinted that Tesla might test the truck in Baja:
We’re working on increasing dynamic air suspension travel for better off-roading. Needs to kick butt in Baja.

Electric Chinese Supercar BYD Yangwang U9 Jump and Drive With Only Three Wheels
BYD has recently unveiled and showcased a revolutionary array of dynamic chassis and suspension mechanisms possessing phenomenal abilities that far surpass the conventional standards of movement. This week, BYD has astounded audiences by elevating stunts to unparalleled heights through a sequence of stage exhibitions and footage. In the initial display, BYD captivated spectators with the Yangwang U9 supercar executing an impressive "leap" on the spot, solely powered by the kinetic energy generated from its state-of-the-art Disus-X suspension arrangement. Following this remarkable feat, BYD Global's Twitter account featured another mind-blowing exhibition, this time in a video format. The footage captures the U9 cruising effortlessly before the camera angle shifts, astonishingly revealing the absence of its front right wheel. This extraordinary demonstration highlights the exceptional leveling prowess of the Disus-X suspension system.

2017 Fusion Pothole Mitigation Technology
The 2017 Fusion features a unique innovation to Ford's Continuously Controlled Dampening System (CCD) with it's Pothole Mitigation technology. Demonstrated here with the brand new Fusion Sport, the Fusion detects potholes, then sends signals to the shocks to stop the wheel from dropping into the hole. This is just another way Ford is bringing the Fusion to the head of it's class.

A Smarter Suspension - Reducing the effects of potholes through innovative technology.
We wanted to do something about this problem, so our engineers went to work on a solution. They came up with Continuously Controlled Damping (CCD): A revolutionary computer-controlled shock absorber system that significantly reduces the jarring feeling of driving down a pothole-riddled road and minimizes damage to your vehicle caused by potholes.

2021 Aug - Ford F-150 w/ CCD
I checked on the build site and saw the CCD was now available. Has anyone been able to test or own an f150 with the CCD? How does the ride compare to the f150 without it? How does it compare to the other trucks, mainly Ram?

I have heard good things about CCD from Expedition owners and ordered it on my job#2 build F-150 which hopefully arrives on 8/22 according to the vehicle tracker. I have heard you can’t put a leveling kit on them which sucks, hopefully there will be a way to level them soon.
I ordered mine mid-June with CCD, it was a Job #2 added option on Lariat trim and up along with the other new option of Scales and smart hitch.

I have this in my Expedition (full-size SUV) and the ride is great. Did not realize the CCD was involved in the drive modes, don't the regular F-150's already have drive modes? Maybe with CCD the handling settings are more pronounced when selecting the sport mode?

#4 I have a platinum PB with CCD and echo that the ride quality is amazing. I travel roads regularly with railroad tracks and washboard asphalt and it handles it wonderfully. My gravel driveway feels like smooth pavement!
