New videos of Tesla Cybertruck off-roading appear to show it struggling to climb up a steep dirt hill::One video showed a 1946 Jeep CJ-2A successfully navigating the same hill that the Cybertruck struggled to summit.
The only difference is that when it comes to repairing the clutch on the jeep, you can just go get a coffee with your Tesla because it doesn’t have one. I bet that the Tesla just needs a lower gear to win that competition. The jeep wins because it’s very light and has a low gear.
I mean what do ppl expect, it looks like it has normal road tires and weighs probably at 5 k pound… Any truck with that weight/tire setup would struggle…not defending tesla but the expectations are quiet off…
I had Skoda Yeti, which is 4k pounds, I had road tires, and the car is not even considered a true off-road vehicle. But I climbed hills like that easily, sometimes on cruise-control (I’d disabled it here because of a sharp turn)
While it’s pretty pathetic that a modern 4WD system can’t control wheel slip quicker than that, those drivers obviously don’t have a clue what they’re doing.
It comes down to having tires sized to carry the weight. A heavy vehicle would need tires the size of those Russian off-road vehicles to match the light Jeep. Also why light offroad vehicles like a Polaris side-by-side are so popular now with people that drive trails. And why you would never want to take those lifted full-sized trucks off road even though they are popular on the highway.
I think that the most difference is the weight of the two vehicles… Most modern cars are way too heavy, and the cybertruck is an extreme example of bloat

Repairing a clutch in a jeep like that isn’t a big deal. Those things were actually designed to be repaired in the field easily.
It’s not even “off road”. It’s struggling to climb a steep, dirt road. Also, anyone who buys a Tesla at this point is a moron.

Didn’t it struggle climbing a curb? What makes them think it can off-road?
Uhhh check the difference in the tires on the two vehicles, pretty sure that makes a difference

It has worse aerodynamics than a Jeep Wrangler, too.
Funny if true. Have a source?
It has worse aerodynamics than a double wide getting pulled down the freeway.
How do you have worse aerodynamics than two bricks stacked on top of each other
Here you go
That is one stupid ugly vehicle.
Definitelt ain’t winning any style or beauty awards.
