Tesla Cybertruck conquers muddy hole, helps out stuck Toyota pickup
09/08/2024 11:49 AM
The Tesla Cybertruck is simultaneously the most eye-catching and most hated vehicle on the road today. The misinformation surrounding the all-electric pickup truck is also so substantial that a good number of people on social media sincerely believe that the Cybertruck is so fragile that it gets bricked after it goes through a car wash.
All this negativity surrounding the Cybertruck's capabilities just means that it becomes extra satisfying when videos emerge showing the Cybertruck performing excellently in off-road scenarios—just as it was designed. This was certainly the case in a recent post from Florida, which shows a Cybertruck conquering a deep mud puddle that got other capable off-road vehicles stuck.
Cybertruck is a beast!

The owner said the only other vehicle who made it through this hole unassisted was a lifted Wrangler on 37s.

The video was shared by Cybertruck owner Andrew Hodgdon on the Tesla Cybertruck Facebook Group. As could be seen in the Tesla owner's video, the mud puddle was quite deep, and it actually took the Cybertruck three tries before it definitively conquered the puddle. The Cybertruck looked impressive overall, especially as it was able to reverse out of the puddle easily during its first two attempts.
As per the Tesla owner, the mud puddle was pretty challenging, and the only other vehicle in the group that was able to conquer it was a lifted Jeep Wrangler on 37s. The Cybertruck, for its part, was equipped with generic 285/65 mud terrain tires, which likely helped the vehicle handle the obstacle. The Tesla owner also noted that he put the Cybertruck on Overland Mode's All Purpose, Very High setting, plus Wade Mode for good measure.
The video of the Cybertruck conquering the mud puddle incited quite a lot of strong reactions from social media users. Numerous Tesla critics mocked the EV owner and claimed that the vehicle would soon be bricked, while others claimed that the mud puddle was so unchallenging that even a gas-powered sedan could go through it.
In response, the Tesla owner shared more videos from his off-road trip, which showed that the Cybertruck was one of ten vehicles that took on the trail. The EV driver also shared a video showing the Cybertruck being used to pull out an off-road modded Toyota pickup truck that was stuck in the obstacle. In that video, one could see the Cybertruck barely breaking a sweat as it pulled out the combustion-powered truck.
