Elon Musk has always been a pioneer, pushing boundaries where others dare not tread. Recently, he introduced the Tesla Cybertruck, and it’s already causing quite the stir. Described as an off-road beast by its creator, this futuristic vehicle has quickly gained both fans and critics.
Real-world Performance
On paper, it is a great off-roading vehicle stock – without modification thanks to its adaptive air suspension that offers 12″ of travel and 17″ of clearance. Yet, the reality seems a bit more complicated.
Challenges in Action
There have been plenty of videos and pictures of Cybertrucks failing off-road in the last few weeks as Tesla expanded deliveries to more customers. Some users have noted issues despite the Cybertruck’s promising specs. As per recent reports, the internet is filled with footage showing these robust machines facing unexpected hurdles during their off-road escapades.
Musk’s Defense
Tesla CEO Elon Musk defended the truck in an X post last week.
Musk emphasized that the vehicle remains a dominant force in off-road conditions even if some problems have been highlighted in public posts:
The Cybertruck will be great off-road. You’re seeing it now.
Weight Matters
According to Tesla’s website, the Cybertruck Cyberbeast model clocks in at 6,843 pounds. This weight can be both an advantage and a hindrance depending on the terrain and drive conditions. Joe Rogan’s attempt to damage it with a titanium alloy arrow is a testament to its rugged build.
