      Because the outer skin is the load carrying part of the truck (like the exoskeleton of an insect) you can probably just weld or bolt much of what you want directly to the hull. Not like rust or paint is a concern so it might be modders dream for trial and error stuff!@@frankcoffey

    I'm not a hardcore offroader, but I like to get out into the wild for camping, so I need a truck that can handle forest service roads, logging trails, desert washes, and challenging situations to get there. I should my Cybertruck early 2024 and am looking forward to many off road adventures. The things I like about the CT:
    1) It runs quiet. Noisy vehicles scare wildlife away.
    2) It has 100 cu ft of cargo capacity for longer trips.
    3) It's built to be reliable (far fewer things to fail).
    4) Extremely durable exterior (dent and scratch resistant)
    5) Able to wade through 3' of water
    6) Very low center of gravity
    7) All-wheel steering for maneuverability
    As to the range issue, I take along a quiet dual-fuel generator to add charge to the battery when camped. Range is only limited by the amount of propane or gasoline I take with or buy along the way.
    Cybertruck will be an capable off-road vehicle.

    It'll be awesome off-road - just not on ridiculously long (and completely unnecessary) overlanding excursions. And loud, polluting overland rigs are rather off-putting to the majority of the population. The Rivian R1T and CyberTruck are attracting a new kind of more conscious off-roader. That I think in and of itself is an improvement to the status quo.
    You forget that going slow Does increase range and you typically can't go very fast off-road unless it's Baja style and the CyberTruck was developed specifically to be good at that as well. It's not wasting energy idling though obviously lifts, huge wheels, and rooftop crap will decrease range. But that's on you. Hanging out 200 miles off the beaten path with a foldout solar array and a bunch of creature comforts not powered by a loud, stinky generator sounds awesome.
    Rivian? Not the same thing with less efficient powertrain. Accessories? Guys, it literally just came out. Give it time. Jeep has been around since 1945. When eventually there are millions of CyberTrucks, the aftermarket including 48V stuff will get huge.

    If you are just now reserving it may be years before you get one. The good news is it will be soooo much better by then. Tesla doesn't wait for model years or refreshes to improve their vehicles. As soon as possible those improvements go right on the production line. At one point they were making about 5 changes a week to the 3 and Y so it was luck of the draw what yours would have. My wife got a Model 3 in Feb. 2022 and it was one of the first ones with the AMD Rizen processor and the lithium ion 12 volt battery. If we had ordered just a month before that it would have had the old stuff.

    I still wanna see a Cybertruck being lifted with actual proper tires.
    I wish they would have gone for a more traditional design with a slight Tesla design twist.
    Also, electronics give amazing opportunity to mod a car to be more offroad capable.
    It has 3 motors right ? Let us be able to program the cars drive system, that would be nuts.
    As far as i know most problems they had were due to incapable software.
    Also, i know people gonna cry, but EVs are much more reliable than any ICE will ever be.
    You have much less mechanical bits and pieces, electrical motors run forever.
    Theres no driveshaft, no differentials and stuff like that.
    Low center of mass, helpful for rockcrawling.
    So those things are a huge plus.
    Strap a few solar panels on it to give it slightly more range, get external solar panels to place around.
    I think that truck could have potential if the aftermarket will bring up something.
    Also i would say ( without any research ) that a cybertruck has A: more range than your averrage offroad truck B: Wastes less energy by rockcrawling than an ICE since it doesnt really have to "build up" the torque, its just there, you mainly drive super slow.
    So thats a plus aswell.
    You could drive to a camping area every 2 days or so to plug it in for 30 minutes or so.

They have a tow mode that you can put a Tesla into but the vehicle needs to be ‘ON’ in order to do this from the screen.

He didn't make it and half-way to his destination, he had to look for a charger. The animals were freezing, he had to call somebody with a regular truck for backup. He hated this thing, and got rid of it shortly after. Another thing he mentioned - it was very hard to estimate the remaining range as something funky happens as the battery gets depleted under the towing load. It may gradually go down to 30% and then it may quickly drop to 10% . He really hated the permanent feeling of anxiety of having to look for an emergency charger, and not just any charger would work. Range and recharging is a big problem for all EV, but trucks in particular. Diesel or gas - just stop to refuel, good to go, EV truck - probably looking at 2 h for every 100 miles of towing.

    I'm gonna be the heretic in the group. I can't stand Tesla or EV's at all. I don't trust them and their big battery banks along with their massive cost of repair. The ranges are horrid compared to a traditional internal combustion motor and they are incredibly inefficient overall. Plus they're hideous to boot. The tech isn't where it needs to be yet. Why spend 30+ minutes at a gas station supercharger vs 5 minutes at the pump? Repair parts for EV's are hard to get in major cities, let alone in the middle of nowhere. Also, when an EV breaks down or runs out of battery, who and what gets called out to recover it? A gas or diesel vehicle with a gas generator to recharge it. This really defeats the purpose of an EV. And the "carbon footprint" of a single Tesla takes 20% longer to offset than a regular gas car once you factor in the cost of mining lithium and manufacturing. Sorry not sorry but hard pass. 249mi standard range on a single charge is hilariously laughable. Even the Jeeps have a better range with their horrible fuel economy.

Electric vehicles, on and off-road are the future, but that future isn't hear yet. The majority of Jeep owners never go off-road, if they do it's minimal trails. Will the Cybertruck do that, sure.

    Ranges should increase significantly in coming yrs as they improve their new 4680 cell chemistries, on the order of 20 or 30% seems likely, you won't get the CT in 3 yrs if ordered today, over 2M preorders tho maybe only 1M will go thru with order, more orders will be added.
    All cams can be displayed as small sections of 18-1/2" screen, rear view in particular given there is no center mirror, use turn signal before changing lanes and that side cam will come up if set as such, and so on.
    Air suspension. Might enjoy Jason Carmissa vids on it.
    In the US only Tesla chargers are any good, CHAdeMO I hear is pretty good too.
    Failed to mention *steer by wire* which eliminates hand over hand steering, lock to lock in less than 360 degrees, *rear wheel* steer up to 10 deg!
    Tesla also known for exceptional sound systems.

    Bro, you do realize that the range extender is a battery pack that Tesla installs into the box. It takes up 2' of the box, and another 3' for a spare leaves you with 1' of storage depth. It's a cool truck but that sucks. Also what sucks is the drop panel at the rear. Really limits the departure angle. The front will not take larger tires, as the A arm will not allow it due to a the fact that it wraps over the tire, limiting it's clearance. The only way you could get larger tires is by using significant spacers or replacing the A arms. Clearance and power of the CT is amazing.

  • @simonlang2001
    @simonlang2001 9 месяцев назад

    if you be gettting a CT look up the tesla network, its possible to charge a tesla from chatamo standard plug, but you will need an adapter, may be cheeper to grab a 240 volt generator, and run and plug that in to your tesla, but there is a difference, the Nacs (North American Charging Standard) me thinks, is what tesla runs on.

    Cybertruck should make for an awesome offroading vehicle that would be great for camping.
    However, some things to keep in mind. That range is in optimal conditions. Real world conditions will reduce range about 10%. Then also consider off road tires and bigger tires will also reduce range. Temperature will reduce range, and cargo will also reduce range.
    To be safe, I would assume only about 70% to 75% of the range gor your purposes. Still, you should have over 500 KM of range with the extendor.

    The only problems I see so far are 1. The factory tires are really more like truck highway tires disguised to look like All Terrain or Mud & Snow - but they really aren't. They are designed for high fuel efficiency/range. and 2. Not sure about the breakover angle. Clearance is good, but it looks like a lot of distance between the front tires and the back tires. I'll keep watching.
