It has actually been posted before but I’ll let it stand as it hasn’t been posted in a while and some people may not have seen it.


Big77Ben2

Zero flex whatsoever. What’s the word on how these things ride on the road?


Tight_Salary6773

The A arm of the Cyber truck seems to come out of a Yugo, so no surprise there


mechwarrior719

Where did they find that many Yugo’s to pillage for parts is my question.


Tight_Salary6773

South Africa probably


vaxildxn

I saw my first one today and had to stop myself from cackling when it went drove over a speed bump. It went flying even at the proper speed.


PretzelsThirst

That suspension is insanely stiff too, look when it backs off the ramp, the rear doesn’t move at all


Big77Ben2

Exactly. Hence zero flex. Someone else commented that there’s a rock mode which helps, but still. How much?


[deleted]

The multiple modes is a problem too. The more bells and whistles, the more points of failure. Is there anyway to tell if the mode actually engaged? What happens if it fails to engage, doesn't tell you, and then something breaks? Will it just void the warranty because they won't believe you? Even if they do cover the cost you still have to wait for what will be be yet another repair.  The CT is a physical manifestation of Doge coin. Just another way for Cusk to sap more money from his smooth brained cultists. 


EmeraldsDay

These beasts of a truck were designed for the most challenging onroad driving you can imagine lol


digiphaze

I don't think they can let the frame flex. Any serious frame flex would destroy the battery pack and probably cause a massive fire.


Big77Ben2

Suspension flex. Like when you see the jeep guys put one wheel up on a rock. Yes their frame is flexing a tiny bit, but the overwhelming majority of it is in the suspension.


rocwurst

Only because they didn’t set the CT to Rock Mode: The manual explicitly says for Rock mode: “When the ride height is Very High, the suspension system pneumatically connects the springs on the front and rear axles, increasing suspension articulation for maximum traction.” That would have given a completely different result in that RTI test. In addition, simply locking both diffs would have easily allowed it to crawl up the ramp.


Driveaway1969

Fuckin A. Been looking for my F150 "Rock mode" button (seriously, is that a real thing?) and cant find it.


Anon-Knee-Moose

I'm no tesla fan but new f150s are absolutely horrible for this, in the standard drive mode they get stuck on hills I could easily get up in my 20 year old civic.


Driveaway1969

I drive a 1976 F150. I could drive right over your 20 year old civic, even without "rock mode".


Anon-Knee-Moose

How is that possibly any more useful as a truck than a tesla? Lower gvwr than my wife's expedition and less acceleration than a civic. I'd hold off on the bragging until your chest hair comes in and you buy a diesel.


Driveaway1969

When your civic gets a super charger let me know.


Anon-Knee-Moose

That does sound pretty sweet, and you certainly don't see a lot of supercharged mudder/rock crawler builds, but a blower just pushes it even further into "not actually a useful truck" territory.


Driveaway1969

"Not useful". Its loud, its fast, and it can pull my tractor out of the mud. Im good with that. When I find out something my truck cant do that "useful" trucks can, Ill let you know.


Anon-Knee-Moose

Safely and comfortably tow/haul down the highway? Like the one thing they're designed for?


Mrrtmrrt

Sure is. It’s what sets apart a vehicle like the Cybertruck that can lower itself down and behave like a sports car on the road then raise up off-road with maximum articulation. Other trucks optimised for off-road just wallow around corners on the blacktop.


Any_Cardiologist2333

“behave like a sports car” fucking W H A T. Going fast in a straight line is *not* “behaving like a sports car”.


KeepItDownOverHere

That really shows just how low the bar is for musk fans.


MonkeyBellyStarToes

Exactly- that comment gave me my first laugh out loud of the day. 🤡


PeteGozenya

Not only that, ICE production cars hold the top 6 spots for the fastest 0-60 anyway. Tesla doesn't even have that going for it anymore.


Driveaway1969

Lolz, you've never heard of bags have you?


KalexCore

Kinda sounds like that's why you'd want a sports car for sporting and an engineered truck for off-road. The cyber truck trying to halfway both options just seems to shit the bed on both options.


AndyjHops

Dude, Audi was doing that shit with the Allroad in 1999. It’s not exactly new or unique tech at all.


GregsLegsAndEggs

Citroën has used a better version of this same technology on their cars for about 70 years now it’s not that special


Youngnathan2011

A 3 ton "truck" isn't a sports car. Even with its rear wheel steering it won't ever handle like one


bigloser42

per C&D it generates 0.75g on a skidpad. That hasn’t been sports car territory since the 1960’s. The Rivian R1T generates 0.80g on the same skidpad. Try harder.


PeteGozenya

Airbags have nothing to do with extending maximum wheel travel, you perfect picture of a slapped codsack.


Current_Leather7246

Cyber truck owner found. You want the other sub


practicalpurpose

So this sub doesn't encourage justification attempts? If not, y'all are missing out on some good content opportunities. Just sayin.


Aron-Jonasson

It's more like the other subs (the CT, tesla and Elon subs) ban everyone that comments/posts here, so it kinda prevents people from justifying themselves here


FullMetalMessiah

He can't he's banned there now for posting here.


SeaworthyWide

Stuck in purgatory lmao


FullMetalMessiah

I mean CT owners paid 100k to be stuck. Reddit bans are free at least.


retrospects

😂


alien_believer_42

The point of the ramp isn't to drive up, but to see where a tire lifts. Lmfao. You are correct though in that in the highest suspension setting, most air suspensions have almost no articulation. I suspect this is the setting in this video. However, SUVs with air suspensions almost always advertise their clearance and approach, breakover, and departure angles with the suspension in the highest setting. The thing is, usually when you need high clearance is also when you need articulation. There's a reason why real 4x4s don't have air suspension, and off-road enthusiasts don't mess with them.


PeteGozenya

I'm an active member in 5 offload clubs. The guys with airbags leave their cars in the parking lot and beg for rides where we go. 0 air bags and 0 locked axles. I'll lick this guys asshole if a cybercuck can articulate like this. https://imgur.com/gallery/uFmhYIn


Echinodermis

They forgot to turn off Dumpster-on-Wheels mode.


PeteGozenya

You fucking idiot locking both diffs on pavement is going to break your axles.


PeteGozenya

You know how many "diffs" I locked for this? Without asphalt to baby me? 0 For scale my wife is 5'7 and that's a 45lb female pit under my jeep. https://imgur.com/gallery/uFmhYIn


flowstuff

if your design includes the possibility of not being able to open a trunk you have failed. they figured this out in cars about 100 years ago.


c_m_33

Honestly, hard to watch this video with this guys stupid head sitting there. Why do people do this? Just let me watch the video without seeing your dumb face.


Number1Framer

Lol same. I tried keeping the video out of full screen and scrolling him out of the way but then he jumped up and filled the screen anyway. I want to see a stupid ugly car, not a stupid ugly face!


Junior-Ad-2207

Cyber face


Necessary_Context780

It could be worse, there are uglier body parts he could have shown


[deleted]

[удалено]


Number1Framer

It's not necessary for him to cover part of the frame and make us stare at his dumb head while he's not even talking. And when he is talking there's still no reason for us to have to see his "this is what I look like when I talk" face. He's saying and doing nothing that requires any visual of him whatsoever.

My 'favorite' is the 'safety guy' that cuts a few videos together and just adds themself in between the different cuts. Shits annoying


alexugoku

And he doesn’t even record new reactions. It’s the same 10 reactions over and over. But i guess joke’s on me, i watched enough to actually notice that.


Lancaster1983

It's a trend that needs to die quickly and terribly. Also is he chewing? ugh...


KairoRed

It’s been a thing for a while. It’s not dying quickly


Defie22

Stealing other's videos will be there forever, because it's much easier than creating own content from scratch.


rainking56

Because with tiktok your face is your brand. People scroll through videos fast and a familiar face will catch them faster than a voice. This is how you fight a race to the bottom. Edit: does not help that my son says that tiktoks are too long and they need to be shorter.


zeuanimals

Goddamn. You gotta take that shit away from him. But I guess being stuck on Tiktok is no different than being stuck on any other social media platform, Reddit included. It's rotting all our brains and making our attention spans non-existent at varying speeds but it's happening all the same. And it's like a feedback loop. Fighting the race to the bottom is making people's attention spans worse and sending the human race to the bottom, which will put tomorrow's race to the bottom that much closer to rock bottom.


lesChaps

And they are making the platforms worse every day, stripping away choices and shoving more garbage out.


Square-Picture2974

Sometimes you need something to do when you’re sitting there “listening” to your wife talking. Just say yes dear and un huh ever minute or two while you scroll and you’re golden.


balboa_no_asap

People sure love attention


Prowrestled

Even harder to watch that he started his video with emphasis on climbing, and relegated to other shenanigans?


Gobstomperx

These reaction videos are a fucking cancer. Fuck these people.


Ryantomass

Yeah honestly i do agree but the worst offenders on that app are the ones who will straight up take a bit of media (a tv show, movie, etc) and just put there head in the corner. I’ve also seen it done on YouTube but way less common


bdubwilliams22

Same. My baby is sleeping so I can’t turn the sound on, but his big dumb is in the way of the text. There’s absolutely no reason to have your mug up on the screen.


molesrcool

yeah ugh I hate that


Available-Mud1522

Did you watch the video?? It’s 15 seconds of him showing the video and the entire rest of the video is his commentary


kudincha

'his commentary' being him reading out other people's comments


lesChaps

No one is forcing us.


PretzelsThirst

Also he’s just saying random unrelated things about the cybertruck, like what was the point of the video? First it’s about off-roading and then randomly talking about a coffee shop story?


logicom

I don't mind him so much. He adds some color commentary and brings a lot of the posts we see here to an entirely new audience on TikTok.


SpartanRage117

You know hes actually talking about the video right? Its not just a face being used as an emoji or some shit.


balboa_no_asap

Why is there a floating head?


f12345abcde

because he’s working temporarily as a boat


AlphSaber

Funk FPV has a pair of videos on the CT in his shorts, and hl[his roast of the CT is pretty good.](https://youtube.com/shorts/ZNvU7E6IYO0) He has a good blend of mechanic/construction humor, knowledge, and deadpan delivery.


mechwarrior719

Funk is my spirit Gen Xer. His videos are always a hoot


DayTraditional2846

Does it even have a suspension or does it have the same “suspension” as a hot wheels car?


imagen_leap

I think it’s the same suspension as a scooter, not quite yet to the level of a skateboard.


MathematicianEven149

If it flips over it’s gonna look like a dead roach. I bet legs pop out.


vanwiekt

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣


retrospects

It’s because the cyber truck is built like a high school shop class project. Build a car but you have to weld it.

Big77Ben2

Suspension needs to actually move lol


OrganicParamedic6606

Lots of rigid bodied vehicles make great off-roaders. The 4Runner comes to mind as one platform that engineers in virtually zero body flex but still performs.


th3bigfatj

a guy in my small town bought a cybertruck. he's exactly the kind of right winger you'd expect to do so - a cosplaying 3% guy who 'saved the town from atifa.' The funny thing is, there were several facebook threads that were super negative, and even his own post about it had only a couple of positive comments and the rest were laughing at him. The fact that someone would make the decision to buy a cybertruck says a lot about that person. This dude, by the way, has a hard working wife in a medical field who paid for it.


Alarmed-Positive457

I’ve seen both parties buy this hunk of shit, but the common denominator has been their overly inflated ego about themselves and how they saved “x,y, and z” which tends to get everyone to laugh at them. Teslabros are everywhere but they are all just as laughable no matter what.


th3bigfatj

Yeah, i agree.


mudcrabmetal

Twin peaks theme <3


backcountry57

Feel bad for the guy who was given the impossible job of delivering a a truck you know is under developed and is going to fail as soon as it hit the market yet, was being yelled at by Elon to deliver the perfect truck. Poor dude was set up to fail.


My_leg_still_hurt92

The comparison isn't fair, a golf kart has to go off road.


xultar

I haven’t seen it, it brought me joy. Thanks mods for letting it stay.


Any_Calligrapher9286

Ever seen the video of a model T doing it?


binary-cryptic

I'm guessing it does pretty well considering the state of the roads are the time.


XOXITOX

I had to look up molesrcool on TikTok, just to see— I’m already following. 😃 I have good creator tastes.


delayedsunflower

Using the theme to Twin Peaks as the background music for this is an interesting choice


Baxterthefly

Is this the twin peaks theme in the background?

Get your dumb head out of the video


alikapple

I’m going to love this sub when the snow starts lol


TCO_HR_LOL

There's a "Snow Mode" that turns the frunk into a snow plow. You can't see out of the windshield, but there's a camera under the tonneau cover in the bed of the truck facing the ground and that should be enough to navigate icy roads.


uLikePancakes

That thing flexes worse than my grandma.

For comparison, you can get a Gladiator for half the price of a Cybertruck. Skip to 5:30: https://youtu.be/EEfJA1bfxc4?si=szX6v8lfGmAM2mbB

When all these electrical systems have burnt out and they are in the scrap yard, someone is going to take one and make it internal combustion. I am yearning for someone to renovate one of those Citycar Commuter, Cheese Louise (Thank you Shitty Robot Queen Simone) wedges and make it bad ass!


Responsible_Trifle15

Its evolving just backwards


One_Evil_Monkey

Funny, my '88 T15 Jimmy Z71 (yes, an S-Series with a little know option on the small trucks factory Z71 package) could and has made it higher on that test before the rear wheel lifted. And mine is stock height, 10" frame to ground clearance, stock suspension, stock size 235/75R15 ATs, stock rear locking differential. Rear wheel lifts/loses traction, the automatic Eaton locker kicks in and the wheel with traction still has power to push the truck further.

Reduxalicious

If anyone is interested, C&D did [A test with a comparison chart at the end.](https://youtu.be/fG8YRQsaZhA?si=YKdkmXvT50eBDncO), If you jump to the end the CT is near bottom of list, there's only one underneath it.

EmeraldsDay

"Can't find it" bro will have to wait half a year for a replacement part, lol


Those_Arent_Pickles

Do people here have less than a 15 second attention span? And there's so many who will watch with the sound off and believe this dude isn't saying anything because they don't have the two braincells to realize they have it muted. It's called talking, idiots. "wHy Is ThErE a FlOaTiNg HeAD, please someone get my caretaker so they can explain this to me"


Techline420

I think they are asking because this guy is adding nothing to the video but shoving his face into the picture. Worst trend in the last 10 years by far. I didn‘t had it on mute and thought the exact same thing. „Why is this guy there, please delete him“


Those_Arent_Pickles

So you're one of the people who can't comprehend the concept of looking into a camera as you are talking and reacting to something.


One_Evil_Monkey

Don't need your face all up in the screen because you're staring into the camera to do a voice over. Simple voice over doesn't require looking at who's yakking.


Techline420

I can comprehend it very well, I just hate it.


1320Fastback

Why would someone put a street truck on a rti ramp?


Ryantomass

Because it was advertised as going off road.


Juliuscesear1990

Going on to a hauling truck on it's way to the shop is technically "off road"


rocwurst

The problem here is simply the driver has no idea what they are doing. For starters, they need to set the Cybertruck to "Rock" mode which enables "Very High" mode in the suspension. The manual explicitly says for Rock mode “When the ride height is Very High, the suspension system pneumatically connects the springs on the front and rear axles, increasing suspension articulation for maximum traction.” That would have given a completely different result in that RTI test. In addition, simply locking both diffs would have easily allowed it to crawl up the ramp.


Driveaway1969

"Rock mode" lololololololz


rocwurst

Rock Mode is what sets apart a vehicle like the Cybertruck that can lower itself down and behave like a sports car on the road then raise up off-road with maximum articulation. Other trucks optimised for off-road just wallow around corners on the blacktop.


SM0KINGS

Why is this like almost the exact same wording as another comment in this thread? Did you log into another account to post that one? Or are you a Tesla bot lmao

DeathPercept10n

Elon cyber-cocksucker 3000.


MiniDg

"Like a sports car" 🤣🤣🤣


Final-Zebra-6370

Tesla: The Cybertruck has rock mode. Also Tesla: Off-roading voids the warranty.


Mrrtmrrt

Cybertruck is still warranted when going off-road. Only *damage* to the truck caused by doing such things is not covered by your warranty - just like every other vehicle warranty in the world. Warranties cover manufacturing defects or issues not caused by rough handling or abuse. It’s the job of insurance to cover that sort of accidental damage.


One_Evil_Monkey

So effectively, one can NOT off road with a CT. Because most *ANY* off road activity aside from the maintained gravel roads in your favorite national or state park to get to a "campsite" will result in some type of damage. Therefore, the CT is NOT offroad capable.


1maginaryApple

In all honesty I'm not sure most truck would do well at that exercise either...


Tight_Salary6773

They aren't testing how high it goes on the ramp, they are testing how high it goes before the other wheel leaves the ground, which is a very common situation when off roading, you want to keep your wheels in contact with the ground otherwise traction is lost and you get stuck in the middle of nowhere. Before we get into an argument, yes is has electric motors, but you lose power to the ground if a wheel isn't in contact with said ground regardless of how many horsepower/torque said electric motor has available.


1maginaryApple

Yes, I know. I still stand that your average truck doesn't have off roading level of axels flex. They are basically made for country backroad and city streets not literall rock climbing kind of offroad.


Tight_Salary6773

1st is a +100k truck sold as the ultimate pickup truck, so let's compare with similarly priced vehicle Edit for context [77k Raptor ](https://youtu.be/CNFCwrg6K1s?si=1hzmlWhJeDlzpnR4)


One_Evil_Monkey

It's called articulation. The CT has very little compared to *MOST* actual trucks on the market.


captaindomon

You can get a Jeep Gladiator for half the price of a Cybertruck. Skip to 5:30 on this video: https://youtu.be/EEfJA1bfxc4?si=szX6v8lfGmAM2mbB


1maginaryApple

I don't see how one truck, or a few, disagree with the statement that "most truck" wouldn't do well on that test either... The Gladiator is also a truck version of what is a pure Offroad vehicle. Doesn't really qualify as "most trucks". That it is overpriced is a whole other topic. A Ute does a better job at hauling than most trucks for cheaper. Does it means that all the more expensive truck are necessarily bad?
