TESLA CYBERTRUCK SUSPENSION DEEP DIVE AND RTI TEST

EV Channels Review

This Car and Driver video provides an in-depth technical examination of the Tesla Cybertruck, focusing on its suspension system and performing a Ramp Travel Index (RTI) test. The review highlights the innovative steer-by-wire system, the unique air spring and upper control arm configuration of the front suspension, and the integrated rear steering. The construction and underbody are also detailed, with a discussion on potential future protection. The RTI test reveals the Cybertruck's off-road capabilities, with notable performance in Off-Road mode, achieving 500 points, though Normal mode yielded a lower score. The reviewer emphasizes the truck's significant flex and the engineering behind its suspension, particularly the dual-motor AWD setup. While the video doesn't explicitly state a 'verdict' in terms of like/dislike, it clearly appreciates the engineering and off-road potential, while also detailing the mechanical intricacies.
