There is a little something you might want to learn about for off-roading - suspension rebound. While you might have plenty of STATIC clearance, it is important to come off of obstacles very SLOWLY as the suspension will hit the next surface and COMPRESS which will reduce your clearance and you might just hit something important under the truck. The slower you go, the less rebound and loss of clearance you will have. It can also be important for daily driving if you drive over a curb or something. When you come down on the far side of the curb, the suspension will compress and you might hit bottom behind the tire.
Not that big deal with the Cybertruck, there's nothing sensitive there. And the battery has a big air gap inside, so even a serious dent wouldn't be dangerous.
The old Model S is even better, it has a titanium armor plate in the front. It crushes cinder blocks without getting scratched.
I want the record to show that while yes my spotting was horrible for the logs, I was busy filming 😭😂😂
We can officially say that this is a Dirty Tesla
Muddy Tesla
omg Cris thank you so much for that!
this was the best use case of offroading I ever seen!
no staging & scripted! just realistic & genuine!
worst spotter . . . I can't believe he didn't stop you when that log got turned 90 degrees! Big-Oooof! Love the Cybertruck though!
Chris, I think you should get under your truck and look at the underbody to check for any damage, yikes
I highly doubt the battery was damaged AT ALL. Theres a good several inches of space for it to crush
Kinda figured he'd be alright even with it going like that😭😂
Especially with commands like "go that way", rather than driver or passenger.
😂 he was filming too soooo
Yikes...lol...thanks for taking one for the team. Please, CT owners, watch a lot of videos on HOW to off-road before doing it in your $100k truck.
This is legit the best offroad test I've seen of the Cybertruck. I feel like this deserves some shorts to get people watching the whole thing. Really cool.
take tires to 10 psi... enable locker mode... put in extract mode... remote mode flaps or generally trim them etc. Also grab so rock sliders for front and rear to bash instead of bumper work... Thanks for beating crap out of it for our entertainment!
Articulation is much better in "High", and still has decent ground clearance. Only go higher if you really need to.
That, sir, was PAINFUL!! But a shi*load of fun. Great vid!
We all know we are waiting for Whistling Diesel Video 🌚
When going over the logs, put the truck into "Extraction Mode" for maximum clearance.
Yeh for many thing's it felt like they didn't use anything
yeah and zero flex or way to absorb the shock right! lol!!!!
@@carholic-sz3qv Zero flex and bumpy ride yes, but it will clear the log without scraping on the battery pack and potentially damaging it. Once you clear it, put it in Off Road mode to regain some flex.
@@petemiller519 lol!!!!!!it literaly scrapped on the battery pack! the Mercedes Gklasse electric has a real thich carbon fiber composite and Carwow did a very harsch driving and it took it like a champ not this.
@@carholic-sz3qv Bro, I am not talking about a Merc. We were conversing about the Cybertruck, and what can be done to clear an obstacle. But now that you brought it up, a lot of EV manufacturers have warranty disclaimers stating if the underside gets scratched or damaged in any way, it will void the warranty for the battery and needs replacement. Not sure what Tesla has in the fine print, but it would not surprise me if the battery pack is scratched or dented, the warranty could be void. This is a big problem with off-roading an EV. Cheers.
Nothing feels better than off-roading in a $120k vehicle.
Sure, as long as it belongs to someone else.
i dont know man
Nothing feels better than off-roading in a $120k vehi- I mean a $100k ve- an $85k vehic- dammit a $70k veh- oh for F***s sake
The vehicle serves you, not the other way around. Nobody complains when someone uses a $100,000+ Ford/GM off road - shrugs -
I know the batt pack is made for this even without the added shield but be nice to see what that looks like after that log lodging under you.
Why didn’t you use locking differentials on the logs and the first rock climb? It would have really helped!
Overall you did great man. I’ve taken mine on some mountain roads with lots of holes washboard and whoops driving fast, using Baja Mode. Super fun, and now it has the option for rugged roads, and I’ve needed that setting. It does way better than other pickups and Jeeps.
If it really has a mechanical locking diff, then it should definitely be on in many of these tests.
But, there's no center diff, and I doubt software based "locking" between axles is working as well as a good, ole mechanical center-diff-lock.
@@jsjs6751they are mechanical I think on the dual motor as one motor for each axle, not each wheel.
@@jsjs6751
From what I've seen the software works well. And will get more tuning over time, that's one of the advantages of Tesla.
@@jsjs6751no need for a centre diff when you have separate motors for each axle and can now vary how much power goes to each one on the fly. Can't do that with a centre diff!
Not to Self: When Chris puts his Cybertruck up for sale in a few years, don't buy it. But kudos to the truck for surviving that brutal log course.
The race against the quad looked like a couple of RC cars racing in the dirt 😅
You did good...and better your truck than mine😂😂
Great video. Thanks for conveying what offroad feels like with this. I'd do lockers on all the time but it looks really capable and comfortable.
"covered in dirt" is the best colour for any truck. Better than any wrap.
Worst spotter ever. I'm sorry your truck had to go through that, all due to a bad spotter. You may be excited and pushing the truck, but pure negligence from the spotter led to a bad experience. Whether you're willing to admit it publicly.
Nothing ventured, nothing gained. Well done!
Nothing gained is a good way to put it
This was so fun! Seeing your first videos of the rocks and dirt in your tesla…until now…and we went full circle!
Chris, that was crazy fun! Remind me not to buy your Cybertruck when you're done with it, though. 😂
DIRTY Tesla... F**k Yeah!
As you’re doing this, I’m thinking about my Safety Score for Tesla Insurance and I could not afford it. I’d drop from a 99 to a 70. Lol
Was it in extract or very high for the logs? Might want to check the battery pack's bottom pan.
You’r supposed to take the mudguards off when you go off-roading.
Oh. You knew that.
or dont go offroading at all!
I liked how you did a Judkins with the Ridge wallet. haha.
Just had my CT hands-on over the Vivatech expo in Paris. Looks awesome and just a few months (and hundreds of videos) down the line and it doesn't even look too crazy. It just belongs. Steel looked quite a bit darker than expected under artificial lights, edges weren't too sharp, didn't try the frunk wiener test. Spacious inside tho tall fellas such as myself need to sit up front over large bumps I'd imagine. Pretty great build quality, it was a dual motor Foundation.
Love to see full send of the Cybertruck through that park ...Probably ruin it but what a hoot that would be!
That charger would be ideal for electric dirt bikes. Top up over lunch!
+1 for getting outside your comfort zone.
Great video Chris! Would love more content like this as you develop your off roading skills. Maybe a collab with someone like Revere Overland!
It would’ve been dope to have some outside footage of you shredding the dirt track!!
Honestly surprised to see a solar panel in Michigan. I mean, I guess it’s better than nothing I suppose. Any chance of taking it out for a day to Mt Morris at The Mounds?
I like how the Cybertruck performed during your testing. I'm surprised.
Man drives Cybertruck onto massive log lol
And damages the log.
That was a ton of fun! You were way more brave than I would have been.
did you film this before or after the update that activated the diff lockers
01:08 better hope that if you are stuck someone see that long flag pole 😅 it looks so flexible that I imagine it could hit the roof if you punch the throttle
Hopefully after putting the vehicle through all that he gave it a once over at the mechanic to ensure the daily driver is good enough to continue its life.
Even armoured tanks get maintenance after battle activity.
It was more a driving on a dirt road and far from a true off-road.
A few minutes inspection under the car, if there is any impact on the chassis cover, and if everything is fine around the brakes/shock absorbers, that's it.
@@dchubworldsharenetwork
Driving over logs is far from true off-road? Driving up stairs is not off-road? What is true off-road then?
This is like the "I drive 1000 miles every day without stopping to pee" crowd, that pops up every time when EV range is discussed.
Driving over logs was the only point where he "could" damage the chassis or something in front...
But the car did not get stuck on the logs with the front wheels off the ground. Damage to the chassis, part(s) or electrical cables due to the weight of the car.
So it was more cosmetic damage than chassis/parts damage.
Everything else was just driving on a dirt road, nothing strong/heavy enough to seriously damage parts on the chassis.
If the car can't handle a fairly normal drive on a dirt road, then it's better that he just burns the car down. 🤣
Sure... Easy Off-road. 🙂
It's not something that requires 10 hours to check the chassis, etc.. Easy inspection if there is anything that is visible, etc.
Check on UA-cam. Off-road...
@@dchubworldsharenetwork
So it doesn't count as off-road if the car is still drivable at the end?
Needs some BFG K02’s to get more traction. I’m still waiting for my CT reservation to come thru.
Loved the video! Thank you
I thought your wife was recording until I heard that grizzly bear voice. 😂
Not sure I'd test my $100K Cybertruck like what you did, Chris - but, it was a great test and you sure proved that Tesla built a great product - amazing!!!
people are testing more expensive products in much harder ways! if that was really a tough truck you would do real offroad! why not the hells revenge that tesla "faked" on youtube"
I would. I don't think you can break anything expensive, unless you do something really stupid.
Awesome Truck. Can't believe you are doing this.
Totally living up to the channel name!
All this off-roading and no exhaust fumes to breath and no obnoxious engine noise 👍
nonsense! its alwsays the same lame comments and arguments! did you make your own vehicel before even giving your point!? there are literaly 30 years old toyota hilux with 90hp that does much better offroad than this and in third world countries in very harsch environments without any good roads or infrastructures.
Oh, I'm just loving that you're pushing your Cybertruck, Chris! Hell yeah!
Great video. Really showed that the truck is a capable truck to take off road. Anything more and should get a custom off roader anyway💪
Is 25 the right tire pressure for off-road? Would be nice if it told you what pressure to use based on the terrain and mode.
you can go as low as 10 and its gonna bascially help you for any terrain you just dont want to go fast with the pressure that low because you can pop the bead or roll over the side walls.
Tesla recommends 35ish so your tires don't come off but you can see here it did ok
Great video!
I thank you for your service! 😂
Lockers on the logs would have helped a ton!!!
You sir are as smart as a box of rocks.
does this have locking differentials feature?
Yes
Yeah I use them later in the video
The hero we need! Now start doing jumps
Your test is more realistic than Tesla's,
Only in this way can we know exactly what the Cybertruck's capabilities are.
Lots of respect for this. Great vid.
The log going parallel was definitely an issue. Would’ve been fine without that.
Ouch - you need a new spotter!
I couldn’t do that to my Tesla 😅
18 degrees of inclination...?
My Model S dual motor does hill start at 15 degrees... in snow... easy. 😊
The timing of this video with Everyday Chris’s most recent video is hilarious.
I CAN'T WATCH! Can't believe you did this to a $100,000 vehicle 😖
loved it!!
The approach and departure angles are known as well as the ground clearance.
What's up bro very entertaining video considering this your daily driver I was shocked you did off roading but good news no major damage and also I was wondering when I was checking out I only got 10% off your code for ridge wallet do I need to subscribed my email to get the additional 30 % off ?
That 4 wheeler is trying HARD to get run over
You should have used FSD to see how it would have done.
HA YOU got to tow a quad out of the water!
How much did you get the truck?
I’m here for this. Looked like a ton of fun! This makes me wish I had ordered my Cybertruck before this camping/off-roading trip I’m going on next month. Hope to see more videos of you driving it out in the wilderness this summer. Hopefully this helps pay for repairs 😆.
😂 thanks a ton! It is really fun
Congrats! You went 1:23 before the firstly "cool."
And therefore the ct, is an off-road vehicle , we need a real snow test
Nobody gets quite this _Down and Dirty_
We love your work Chris.
Why do people keep ignoring how the manual says to take off the mud guards when going off road and then are surprised when they break?
Like I said I was supposed to hit ran out of time 😁
Are you really that surprised that people don't read the manuals?... lol
At least in this case, he wasn't surprised when they broke. lol
commenting before watching is hard too apparently. all you had to do was watch first few minutes.
Doughnuts 😆
SO this truck costs like $120000 and I can go further in a $2500 Toyota pick up truck. Way to go Tesla!
Where’s located?
Great video! Best Cybertruck content yet
My Prius could do that
I want a run back once I upgrade the Renegade a little bit
23:00 that charger is for Zero and Livewire electric bikes
You're living up to your name Dirty Tesla! Thanks for the fun!
It's a shame how few views this video is getting given how viral the log video went. Pretty interesting. I wouldn't buy one, and the fear of water is justified, but the inclines really show where it shines.
It's great when people steal your content :D
It's not the water, but the mud. And that quad promptly showed why.
I would have gone in anyway, too much fun. Just have to do gradually, to test the depth and traction.
@@andrasbiro3007 Cybertruck has warnings about going through the car wash voiding your warranty. Even though Elon says "it can be used for a short time as a boat", it wouldn't be the first time that he lied and put people's safety at risk.
All seems to be so easy
What psi were your tires at?
definitely too high lol
25ish
Definitely needs to be lower to get more traction
@@DanielTabuenca If you go lower than that you risk a blowout without bead lock wheels. Even 25 is low for this vehicle. It weights 6500 pounds.
@@DanielTabuenca
Didn't seem to have traction issues. I'm not sure he even used the lockers.
I've seen many videos with fully inflated tires, and it still had decent traction. It only struggles when one wheel is in the air, but that's what the lockers are for.
Did you let your buddy drive it at all? 😂
Yeah it's near the end
It's really easy to remove the front mud guards... TFL did it in 10 seconds
mud flaps really should be rubber and have spring retracting mounts
They're detachable - he only left them on for the s&g
@@andrewholdaway813 right but that’s an unnecessary hassle isn’t it?
Yeah wouldn't be much additional then the bolts and nuts currently.
Or go really fancy and motorized actuators.
@@darylfortney8081
_...hassle..._
It is, but then the whole vehicle is an unnecessary hassle.
@@andrewholdaway813what vehicle isn't?
some larger, Off road tires would make a big difference IMO.
I know it’s steer by wire but the one-hand driving style seems a bit sketchy.
Truck is very capable!
Ai will do that course in the future
Oh wow, those sunnies are the camera ones..
When is offroad FSD coming? I guess you need on road first.
Off roading with Mall Crawlers lol! Looking forward to seeing a cybertruck with an off road rim/tire setup.
Google "Cybertruck sand rail" They replaced the suspension too. For a less intrusive mod, check out "Tesla Cybertruck UP INVINCIBLE 2.5-inch Lift Kit".
Didn’t even look like diff lock was on for the knarl uphills 🙄
Thanks for the great video. Here's a little $ help, so support your extreme videos. I hope to get a cybertruck in a couple years, but i don't see me off-roading like that. Thanks again
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed the video
That was actually awesome. Good job😂
