    Good for you guys for letting that family climb around the Tesla. I feel like many other UA-cam channels would’ve been like, no we’re shooting. When in reality, you’re doing your job for people physically and digitally. Good for you guys. That’s what it’s all about.

      Unlike most of these off-road vehicles you refer to, the Tesla is extremely heavy and requires very stiff tires which cannot be aired down like others to give you the edge for the traction. Sadly as nice as it is it is basically a mall crawler. I would like to see it compared to a Subaru in the same situations. Considering my son and wife have them I'm still not a fan of the Subarus and currently looking to purchase a 2023 Tacoma with a V6.

      Yeah I read in the Cybertruck Manual to Remove wheel fairings: Cybertruck has pieces of plastic trim that descend in front of the wheels from the rocker panels on either side of the vehicle. These are the wheel fairings. The wheel fairings increase aerodynamic performance and range, but may be damaged while driving off-road over rough, uneven surfaces, rocks, or obstacles. To prevent damage, remove the front wheel fairings before off-road driving. For more information and instructions for removing the wheel fairings, refer to the Do It Yourself Guide (see Do It Yourself Maintenance).

      Both the Raptor and the Cybertruck have two bad off road qualities. Too long a wheel base. Really limits where and what they can do off road.

    I just want to mention when it was said that the one pedal driving "gives up the ghost" I have experienced this on my Model Y. It doesn't really 'give up', you are effectively losing traction and the regenerative breaking will not allow the tires to lock up so it feels like it's just rolling without control but it is basically a smooth version of ABS. I noticed this on icy roads when trying to come to a stop using one pedal driving. Great to see the CT going offroad, can't wait for the locking diffs!

    Thanks for testing like this, not just another tesla person learning to offroad. The locker would really help and I am at a loss why it is still not available. Maybe hard to find a way on an AWD to keep people from turning it on during regular driving? There are a number of oddities I have also seen from other videos. The cut power rather than brake lock, but also I do not know why none of the adjustable height vehicles do not find a way to increase the ride height without stiffening the heck out of the suspension. There has to be a way to do it that is not completely expensive. Also I know that the electric motors have full torque from the start line but I still think a two speed gear ratio would really help with the low speed off road heat buildup and resolution of the motor like a stepper motor and allow low speed finesse.

      E-lockers are not a safety thing. Self driving is. Tesla sucks as an actual automotive company and they used to be a tech driven company. But they're having issues as usual with research and development especially with more volume they are selling now. I worked on them when they pulled the techs too help with quality control on the assembly line. What I saw was the reality of a government backed tech company making cars (aka Tesla) compared to a Ford or Mercedes assembly line. They are going to fall behind very very soon in their own game. It's going to be the opposite of what investors say along with critics on the big legacy brands.

    You guys were critical and I accept that. On the other hand, this is Tesla's very first truck, and for their very first truck out of the gate, it made it through the course. I'd say they did a pretty good job. Especially when compared to Ford who has been building trucks for generations.

    Both trucks are ridiculous for rock crawling. They can’t do what a CJ will do. Use them for blasting across a desert, which was the original design intent for both trucks. That and looking so very cool when mall crawling.

      Sadly the Wrangler is the last man standing in terms of outright capability off-road. Everybody just wants to make go-fast desert stuff with 700 hp because it looks/sounds flashy, but a $50K (ok, they are getting pretty pricey too) Rubicon will walk right around them as soon as the first obstacle appears on the trail.
