  • Can it jump? Rock crawl? Survive the whoops? Conquer the sand dunes? In short, can the Tesla Cybertruck REALLY off-road?
    Viral videos of it struggling on mild inclines tell us ‘no’.
    But armed with a Cybertruck featuring Tesla’s latest off-road software update that finally allows you to lock the diffs, we took it - together with a Rivian R1T as a benchmark - to the middle of the Californian desert to find out.
    Over to Top Gear Magazine’s Editor-in-Chief, Jack Rix, and Head of Car Testing, Ollie Marriage, to give us all an answer…

    Finally someone addresses tire pressure. All those videos criticizing the off-road capabilities of any EV truck need to acknowledge the tires have higher psi ratings for efficiency on the road. Off-road generally goes better if you release pressure from the tires so they are able to compliantly spread load over irregular terrain.

      But they fail at actually addressing pressures. They are still running at 37+ psi, which is more than most ICE vehicles. For true offroading, or even driving on the beach/sand, you are going to want to be around 20 psi or less. With my jeep with traditional wheels (non beedlocks) I would air down to 16 or so for most offroading. 37 psi is still street pressures.

      @@hi9580This car will do much better than diesels when it comes to overheating, issue is diesels rely on air getting to the radiator, as the engines still produce quite a bit of heat while you're standing still, and so when going uphill or struggling through terrain you get little air to the radiator and it can struggle.
      Electric motors in comparison only use exactly the energy required to move you, meaning at low speeds and while rock crawling they're incredibly efficient while a diesel might use 95%+ of the energy just idling its engine.
      The cooling system of these is mostly internal and isn't dependent on air flowing from outside to a radiator, this means it cools almost just as well at low speeds as it does while going 100 mph, and is why track driving where you're using 600 or 900 horsepower for extended periods of time is so demanding on these.
      In comparison going rock crawling where you might only be using 20 horsepower (but loads of torque) to push it at 4 mph up a hill is going to have it almost completely unaffected, and with incredibly long ranges.
      I'd expect the part with them drifting around the sand dunes to be the most taxing in terms of overheating, as there they're actually putting large amounts of energy into the drivetrain.
      For that part they seemed to think it was the most fun with a 80% power split to the rear though. That'd mean an effective max power split of of 75 horsepower front and 300 horsepower rear instead of 300 front and 300 rear, and as they'd be using the front motor much less the max power demanded from the drivetrain would only be 375 horsepower at most, which it should be able to handle well.
      Also want to add that I'm not in any way a Tesla fanboy, don't like Musk, own a non-Tesla electric car and not planning on buying a Tesla, nor do I own Tesla stock, as it seems anyone who's even slightly positive of their cars always seem to be called a fanboy.

    The entire idea of taking the below average driver off-road simply because they think that the vehicle will do it for them, results only in more money for rescue companies. It’s a good business.

    The fact that it CAN do this stuff isnt anything worth writing home about. A $2500 blazer can do that. Its what about if the batteries run flat out there? We always 4×4 with gas cans and stay out for a couple days. Can these do that? Could you charge it, drive it all the way out there, flog it all day, and still make it back to a chatging station?

      You're going relatively slow, your real world range off-road is substantially higher than that of being on the highway. I've done a lot of off-roading out west, I've never put in more than 150 miles a day in the dirt.

      you're not very bright, you bring a 5 gallon gas can for the 1400w generator and stay the week end. if you can afford these rare earth minerals of removed mountains chances are you can afford the 40' fold out solar panels so you can charge it all week end just to leave.
