There is a ghost town in central California that is (maybe was) 13 miles off the highway. It was 13 miles of really, really rough dirt road. Took an hour plus to get there. We drove there in an RV, so any car would get there. But those in really capable trucks could get there in half the time, and far more comfortably. Sometimes it's not just whether this is the only way to get there, but how easily and comfortably you get there.
I don't doubt that in the least bit, and now that I am a bit older it is mostly likely the scenario of reality for me. The Rivian video showed that, even though what they were driving in was just a fire road, it was still bumpy. That said, I would still love to see [someone else] conquering some really challenging terrain with the Cybertruck. Just to know that it can ...
Obviously! The only part we saw was filmed from a Rivian, they didn't want to risk damage.
Oh, ye of little faith. Seriously, I'm not religious at all, I don't want to take things on faith. But it's a pretty near a certainty that Cybertruck will put 4x4 ICE pickups of the same size in their place on firm terrain off-roading. If not, Tesla screwed up in an uncharacteristic manner. The low center of gravity of a Tesla is a huge advantage right off the start. It's a lot easier to tackle the big challenges when you are not so worried about tumbling down the rocky slope. A light ICE pickup will have the advantage in any situation where floatation is important, deep, fine sand, thick "bottomless mud", etc., particularly since they are more likely to be equipped with x-wide tires. These soft situations are rare in the western part of the country, unless you are trying to search out mud and bogs. I've always been drawn to hard ground four-wheeling, especially if it's slippery from leaves and needles and rain and clay, sometimes even snow and ice.
It definitely would have been cool. They can make the stage look all spooky and stuff...
Hollister has more than dirt roads - there's just no footage of the CT on the good stuff!
