The driver is the issue in this instance as they keep stopping at the wrong times - loosing momentum. The tires are also not up to par and seem to be slipping a lot. I would use a more aggressive tire design.
This thing is about 30% heavier than most trucks....so that actually looks pretty good given the weight penalty. Traversing soft ground will be interesting....
Apparently you don't do much off-roading. I am pretty sure anyone familiar with that course could point out all the issues with the driver on that course. Thus it makes it hard to know if there is a real issue or not. The one thing it does seem to highlight, is that Tesla software does not seem to be setup to help the driver in this situations. And by the way I am not a Tesla fan at all.
the fact that Newly bought Cybertruck have seen more offroading that newly bought regular pickup trucks, with off/on camera in RUclips said alot about giving the tesla owner an ease of mind without the thought of damaging the paint
I own an ioniq. In slippery conditions due to the quick response time of the throttle and higher torque wheel spin happens a lot. I suspect that had something to do with the wheel spin on that climb. Didnt look that bad though.
It slipped a couple times. But the tires are shit. Proper tires, weight, independent suspension is what makes something climb. Which the cybertruck as both except the tires. But I'm sure those are just the stock tires.
As dumb as those videos where expensive cars with crap summer tires are pitted up against cheap cars with ice winters for a road race in the snow. Grip, tires and capable drivers win every time. Locking diffs and ground clearance is the measure off road. Where an electric is likely to fail miserly is in fording water not on power.
People have a lot of “show off” money. We all do it in some way, I like the idea of making things look different, I just don’t trust a company that consistently over promises and under delivers. But it really seems to work on people these days. I like my brother’s Tesla, but he is literally the least car knowledgeable person I know. This will be interesting. People will buy them. We’ll need to see if they ever improve or become cheaper or are useful. The first gen of buyers will be mostly just showing off, though.
That's probably about as good as most stock trucks would do, but i dont understand why the cybertruck doesn't come with a locker. Then it would've made that hill look like nothing, but hey, im not elon Musk😅
Your hatch wouldn't make it over the initial ledge at the bottom of the hill. Unless you have some really cool Frankenstein lifted hatch on at least 30s lol
Looking at the suspension travel makes me wonder if they built it on one of their existing SUV platforms, Model X? If so, how the hell are you supposed to go "Baja rallying in that thing?"
@@TurboactiveI take those RC trucks with a grain of salt, They are test trucks and this could have been software and awd settings testing with any number of things off tweaked etc
@@choco-latte608 I won't hold my breath. It's a matter of physics. The Cybertruck's gear ratio is equivalent to a normal truck in 3rd gear in high range. Not good enough.
@@choco-latte608 Right but torque is torque. An EV has all it's torque throughout the whole rev range, sure, but that torque is multiplied by the gearing and if there is not enough torque then it can't climb. That's why Rivian patented a low range for their trucks, they need more torque. Normal trucks also have torque converters that multiply torque from a stop which EVs also don't have. I converted a Land Cruiser to EV and go rock crawling with it so I have lots of experience with this type of thing.
i believe they are all-terrain tires custom from Goodyear. which would make this an even cooler test because if it's still capable even though it's targeted for street driving and is less aggressive than other all terrains and definitely not as aggressive as off-road tires, it demonstrates how a regular driver might attack a hill like this.
Street tires. Didn’t air down tires for extra grip. Awful driver. I’m surprised it made it up at all even though I don’t think it would make a good Offroad vehicle even when properly outfitted.
@@mattmcmellon Enlighten me. Who has better public land than the US and Canada? You are aware that "designated" in this context means "designated for testing" right?

This comment has not aged well lmao. As anyone with half a brain guessed, it's a piece of shit I mean, it's drive by wire system has LAG.
Elon, did you see the video where the old VW T3 Syncro flies up that hill?
This thing is about 30% heavier than most trucks....so that actually looks pretty good given the weight penalty. Traversing soft ground will be interesting....
Rivian destroys it while being 7000 lbs
LOL
Pretty embarassing when 50 year old trucks can do this climb without problems.

@@lunacyworks first sentence of any Teslafanboy: 'Im not a Teslafanboy at all'
@@lunacyworks The old truck didn't need software just an intelligent driver which is lacking for any Tesla.
well what do you expect with those road tires oO im amazed it even got up there with those
This is a lousy attempt to put shade on it..I have no clue of its power nor will I be buying one, but this is not a failure.
No kidding, let me get behind the wheel of that thing. I'll fly up that hill. The guy driving babied it so hard.
Most vehicles in the same class can make the climb without having to spinout at the bottom and they don't struggle as much
If you've done the stairsteps then you'd know it is all you say it isn't. My stock chevy 2500hd does the stairsteps pulling a trailer
the fact that Newly bought Cybertruck have seen more offroading that newly bought regular pickup trucks, with off/on camera in RUclips said alot about giving the tesla owner an ease of mind without the thought of damaging the paint
The commentary was the hardest part of the video.
Crazy I was driving on the backroads and we saw two of these and now I know where they were headed haha
put someone in the vehicle who actually knows how to drive off road....
Maybe if you took some air out of those tires it would have some grip. Those looked hard as a rock.
I've done this hill in my sister's jeep renagade lol
that thing is made entirely for the street. you aren't using it as a truck. no way in hell.

You mean to tell me that there are people who will pay money for that?!?!
I did yes thanks
They might not be the best at off roading but they have other redeeming features. Plus I think a software update could fix the wheelspin issues

@@adgdashaef fools and their money are easily parted.
@@Yautah You better start saving then.
Seems like driver error!
Driver is inexperienced.. he stopped few times during climbing.
The driver is obviously hitting the brakes at every step
That's probably about as good as most stock trucks would do, but i dont understand why the cybertruck doesn't come with a locker. Then it would've made that hill look like nothing, but hey, im not elon Musk😅
Stock trucks with stock tires did better.
Lol there is a side by side of this and the ford F150 and the F150 struggles about 5 times more than the cybertruck. That ain’t struggling
Deeply unserious vehicle. My hatchback would have no trouble with this hill.
Your hatch wouldn't make it over the initial ledge at the bottom of the hill. Unless you have some really cool Frankenstein lifted hatch on at least 30s lol
What about the driver?
Rocks and pick up trucks are a great combo
Throw in a couple twelvers and you got yourself some great weekend plans
Air down to 10 psi, those tires
2019 cybertruck prototype hype , 2024 clusterf...k reality
Looked like a driver issue to me..........................................
One of the testing the truck can't even keep up with Toyota 4runner and Subaru Forester wilderness 😊 in Wisconsin
Truck doesn't know what to do
I saw it climed good plus those tires suck man if it has real offroad tires things would be diferent
Looking at the suspension travel makes me wonder if they built it on one of their existing SUV platforms, Model X? If so, how the hell are you supposed to go "Baja rallying in that thing?"
I can tell why you call yourself that.
Hopefully this spectacular failure of a vehicle will finally be the end of us having the hear so much about how Elon Musk is a genius.
Will never end. The investors will pump this bullshit forever
Keep crying
You know the difference between a master and a novice? The master has failed more times than the novice has even tried.
someone born into wealth has many more chances to fail than the average person. It is no indication of mastery of anything.
@@treehann are you saying Elon was born into his wealth???
What a piece of crap poor baterry 🤣
It got up what is the problem?? A software update will improve torque vectoring.
They've been working on this thing for 8 years. If it isn't working by now, it's never going to.
im all for bashing tesla, but this video is just stupid.. The cybertruck still made it up just fine...
should have just gotten a jeep
Where is it struggling? Are you seriously?
Literally at the very beginning, 0:09 in the video it rolls back because it cant climb.

To be fair it did a lot better than the 4fwd Bronco - I think it preformed great
No it didn't lol
What are you smoking lmao
Depressing
Report misleading
I'd like to see how other trucks perform on the same hill
There is a side by side of the Ford F150 on the exact same hill and it stuggles hardcore.
I challenge cyber Truck to Maruti 800 in India
Let HV test drive
Battery
Don't confuse poor choice of tires with the truck's ability.
Tires ain’t saving this thing 😂
Yeah that suspension had 0 issues, no slip. Not sure wtf the guy above me is talking about being that the offroad tests they do in these are crazy.
@@User_yhvz LOL the suspension is trash. 0 flex = Nearly useless offroad. Get back to the drawing board Tesla.
These cyber trucks are easily better than any offroad jeeps
@@User_yhvz guess you don’t understand basic physics then. This thing would have no chance doing the rubicon let alone anything mildly challenging 😂
Yeah, that's the first place I'd take my electric pickup. Off road 🙃🙄
lol this is just propaganda from people entering a quick short position.
Hilarious joke 😂
That is clearly winter tyres

It's on smooth rock. ATs or MTs wouldn't help. Airing down would though
winter tires are best for grips. Duhhhhhhhhh
The fact that the “land of the free” has designated off road areas cracks me up 😂
Well most places are owned by someone, land of the free doesn't mean fucking up someone's land.
Just guessing, taking a wild stab in the dark, but that probably means land of the free "people".
We have better public land access than any country besides possibly Canada and that's due to their sparse population. What's your point?
@@ScrimpJumpus righto mate, if you keep telling yourself that I'm sure all you peanuts will belive it
@@mattmcmellon Enlighten me. Who has better public land than the US and Canada?

It did better than most gas vehicles
dude a our 1998 VW beatle used to do this really easy ....a gas 1998 if i where not clear 🤣🤣🤣 i hated that car but was really economic to drive
But it didn't though...
You may want to seek medical attention for brain damage if you really think that
