Is the Tesla Cybertruck the future of off-roading?
- The Tesla Cybertruck made its SEMA debut where it received a mixed response.
- This futuristic, all-electric truck is designed for moderate off-roading conditions and has a claimed 35-degree approach angle, 28-degree departure angle and up to 406mm of ground clearance thanks to adaptive air suspension.
- The Cybertruck has the ability to divide opinions. Some see it as the future of off-roading while others view it as an impractical gimmick.
- The Cybertruck’s EV status presents challenges for off-road enthusiasts including its size and weight and battery performance, especially in areas remote areas where charging infrastructure is not present.
- The Cybertruck’s Autopilot and Full Self-Driving systems are groundbreaking in urban settings but how much of that tech will prove useful navigating an unmarked desert track?
- Towing comes with significant impacts on range. Until EV charging infrastructure becomes more widespread, this remains a daunting issue for EV adventurers.
- The aftermarket world has already quickly got on board, creating custom accessories to make the Cybertruck more off-road capable.
- The Cybertruck has future potential and could become a serious player in the world of adventure travel.
- However, its significant challenges mean it has yet to prove itself as a serious competitor to the Toyota LandCruiser and the Ford Ranger.
- At SEMA, the Cybertruck made a statement: EVs are here, even in the off-road world, but whether it’s the future of adventure or just a passing trend, remains to be seen.
