At this point, I think it's safe to say that the Tesla Cybertruck is an ongoing disaster. I'm not talking about sales performance; I'm talking about the truck itself. There were all kinds of errors with the damn thing near the start of Moment Customers have gotten their hands on it – trust us, we have been Maintain the path. Even worse is the truck's off-road performance. Of getting Stuck in the snow to get Subaru outperforms it Cross, it was bad. It happened again, this time with a schedule.
Kyle Field, A writer Alternative energy website cleantechnica.com, went on an off-road trip recently with some fellow Tesla owners. He's interesting because he's part of a group that owns Tesla cars and modifies them for off-roading; He drives a modified Model Y. On a recent trip to Moab that included a Model
While Field has more than a few tweets praising Supercharging and how well Teslas can handle Moab's tough trails, one of the Cybertrucks appears to be experiencing some issues. The truck was photographed crossing Cane Creek Road through what appears to be a small pond, or part of Cane Creek itself. At first, the Cybertruck seemed to handle the water plowing well. Sounds like something out of a commercial.
Suddenly, a loud grinding sound started coming from the Cybertruck. At approximately the same time, the truck's lower lights came on, and the windshield wiper was activated. Then, the video suddenly cuts off.
In replies to the video tweet, people began wondering what the noise was, and if the truck was okay. Field explained that part of the wheel liner came off the truck: “The front part of the wheel liner came off and started rubbing against the wheel. I pulled it back and field repaired it like you do. . . .”
He knew this It is happening on last Tesla models, and we have no reason to doubt Feld. But a lot of people in the responses didn't buy it. Some even described what happened as an obvious malfunction, noting that the windshield wiper and lights suddenly ignited and began to flash. One person even pointed out that it may have been user error; The wheel covers on your truck are supposed to come off before doing tough off-road activities. Naturally, there were more defenders. That's kind of the state of the Cybertruck discourse right now.
One person explained this by saying that both the lights and wipers turned on automatically when the truck detected water on the windshield, and the flashing lights were caused by the camera's frame rate not being in sync with the LED (which is common when LEDs are filmed.) But others didn't It is yet to be sold, saying it was no frame rate sync and calling it a glitch.
If you watch the video and listen closely, you'll notice that the grinding sound starts almost immediately as the truck emerges from the water.
Suffice it to say the truck continued to cook in the comments. But Field considered the Moab expedition a success. But with Tesla fans and Cybertruck owners doing everything they can to save face and make these trucks look as cool as possible, it's doubtful we'll know what actually happened to the truck.
