that video's not a california car engineer problem like the hatches and stuff, that's a fundamentals issue

it's missing critical hardware to do what it's trying to do, as well as being overweight and probably not properly weight balanced

:lol::lol::lol::lol: that F250 could go rip donuts in that field, come to a dead stop and let the mud congeal, and still drive itself out. Probably wouldnt need four wheel drive.

The cybertruck is stuck because of its weird tires, crappy AWD system, and massive weight. A Subaru Forester could get out of that.

I mean of course it would be since grok is just ChatGPT with an "act like a mildly snarky dipshit" prompt, but doubly hilarious since it's barely been a day since they last insisted that no no grok is 100% original.

:hmmyes: I think its actually a victim of its own stupid torque. If you stopped the ranger in the field and loaded up a tree, you could control the power to get the truck moving without breaking traction. In the CYBRFVCK, in this video and the Hollister Hills, its obvious that the AWD + computer control apply 100000% torque with a touch of the throttle. The CYBRFVCK could get stuck on wet grass. All of the other manufacturers have crawl control modes which address this issue specifically, but :tesla:

that's absolutely 100% a problem, and Tesla did nothing to engineer for this problem; because they aren't allowed to crib from established manufacturers, and reinventing the wheel of a 5-ton "overland" truck is not really a simple task

Elon needs to add remote control via phone for 4x4ers so they can hit a button to go forward and then so many of them accidentally launch it into a ravine

I think you get to choose just one of a) extra battery for extended range, b) rooftop tent, or c) spare tire per cybertruck because there's no room for anything else.

I assume that means for an offroading trip you'll need three cybertrucks for each of those things and a Ford Ranger to haul them out of the tiny pothole they each got stuck in.

:lol: if the CYBRFVCK had a couple of those traction boards it could have probably unstuck itself. alternatively the backside of the plastic may have slipped on the snow/grass as well, and the CYBRFVCK would have launched that thing into orbit.

The brakes being woefully undersized for the power and weight of the thing is what is one of the biggest scary things about it for me, and there are a lot of other extremely scary things about it. But watching the youtube vids of it rocketing away then trying to stop fast and practically immolating the brakes is frightening.

they 1000% used off-the-shelf brakes for the mass-market sedan they make and if that truck started rolling backward in the christmas tree video it would have lit the brakes on fire while it rolled downhill uncontrolled and then crashed into a tree, most likely seriously injuring the driver because there are no crumple zones

The CYBRFVCK weighs three times what a Corvair did. 6600 pounds, 0-60 in 2.6 seconds, 35 inch tires, battering ram front bumper. Supposedly it has a braking distance of 60-0 in 107 feet, but that thing will kill every bug, bird, dog, cat, pedestrian, cyclist, motorcycle, and small car it hits.

two reasons

- all the weight is up high. Regular trucks dont have a thousand pounds in armor body panels*
- its a piece of poo poo


*:rubby: the loving CYBRFVCK is unibody. All those dumb panels are structural. Every single person who takes this off road is at genuine risk of totaling their truck. Even though they used the recovery points, there's an outside chance that Christmas Tree dude already ruined his truck. I'd be really curious how the truck drives and the front doors open/close after being winched out.

elon looked at the truck, and the size of the brakes, and in his thinking sectors created an audiovisual scene of it braking at speed, and was able to perfectly predict the forces. Just like that time he looked at some fixture in his factory, and told them they could use 4 bolts instead of 6. He has an ability to create a minature reality in his head and view it, a genius not witnessed till this very day.
