The Tesla Cybertruck has been getting a lot of attention lately, and not always for good reason. This time though, it has been spotted showing off its off-road capabilities on some hellish terrain in the state of Utah. In a new video by Tesla, it can be seen driving on tough off-road trails in Moab, Utah. These trails have hard parts like Hell’s Gate and the Hot Tub. The video is trying to prove how good the Cybertruck is at off-roading, which is important for people thinking of buying it.
Lead Engineer Wes Morrill unveils the Cybertruck’s “tri-motor Cyberbeast” setup, boasting Off-Road controls accessible via over-the-air updates. Despite its unconventional design, the Cybertruck adeptly traverses steep inclines and challenging landscapes, showcasing both agility and durability. Morrill highlights the truck’s versatility, noting its capability to tackle such obstacles without lockers, albeit requiring skilled driving.
The video garners significant attention, with notable figures like JerryRigEverything weighing in on its performance. This promotional effort is part of Tesla’s broader campaign to dispel doubts about the Cybertruck’s capabilities, previously demonstrated on the Baja 1000 race course and various Texas terrains.
Elon Musk teases additional features tailored for off-road enthusiasts, such as a fold-out solar panel and floatation capabilities, enhancing the truck’s appeal and versatility. Notably, enthusiasts like the Diesel Brothers have taken customization into their own hands, outfitting their Cybertruck with tank treads.
Tesla continues to highlight the Cybertruck’s impressive towing capacity, showcasing it pulling heavy loads and even outpacing sports cars in races while towing. Despite a price tag higher than initially projected, ranging from $60,990 to $99,990, with variants offering different performance levels, demand remains high.
Although not everyone may like the Cybertruck, its creative design and impressive features are difficult to ignore. Tesla’s constant marketing campaigns and continuous enhancements are working to change what people expect from electric vehicles, making the Cybertruck a leader in the industry.
