My hope is that the CyberTruck will be a great platform for anything from the Baja 500, to running the King of the Hammers. Would I think it would win either, stone stock - no. But, I sincerely hope it will run them. That's my wish. I hope that computer damped suspension will allow for infinite precision, and a built in variability that can be programmed on the fly through menus on the tablet. Then, my hope is the suspension and drive components are hardcore - able to take a beating, and come out good. I want to piss a Raptor owner off, rocking their world in my stock CT.

Build it strong for off road, and it will crawl a mall with the best of them. peace

For many, this would qualify as off road. I've only been in slightly worse. Maybe more of an incline, and add more water.

I need to look up the picture... My Dodge 3500 4x4, lifted with mud tires, managed to get stuck on a soaked colache road. Once the tires got caked with mud there was no steering. We had two ATVs on the front to jerk the truck in the direction we needed it to go.

That looks more like my driveway except lack of fir trees, not muddy and has gravel

Bronco's Race Ready is a ploy to make people think they are getting an Ultra 4, but not. All the legacy auto manufacturers do is promise and underdeliver, for years. This is why I said my hope is that Elon overdelivers. It could happen - not 100% likely, but that's why I said I hope, and that's my wish. The Dodge version of the Raptor is what it is. All better than their "ok" normal truck lines. You know what? Elon is bringing 1 truck. Not a line, various builds, multiple choices, so he can overcharge you 25 times. Legacy manufacturers have screwed people enough over too many years. Elon's here and he's bringing the goods. peace

This is my idea of going off road:
C048562A-834B-4FD7-97B6-1CD36F60A41F.jpeg

And I believe that the cybertruck will be superlative at it.
That boulder incline will not happen in a production CT. Breakover will hang it up. Wheel travel is not going to be what you think just beacause 16” ground clearance it does not follow that the suspension will have 36” wheel travel like a rock crawler.

@parapyropig Pls report back with pictures of your CT on this rock climb of yours. Include the rear suspension/motors ripped out from under your CT on one of these boulders. Bonus points if your battery skid sets the CT afire from being torn through.

Good Luck
