CYBERTRUCK HUGE OFF ROAD UPDATE! RUNNING THROUGH ALL THE ENHANCEMENTS

EV Channels Review

The Out of Spec Podcast discusses significant software updates for the Tesla Cybertruck, focusing on its off-road capabilities. Key enhancements include the introduction of a dedicated off-road app with distinct 'Overland' and 'Baja' modes, offering tailored suspension, damping, and slip angle calibrations. A major highlight is the activation of physical locking differentials, particularly for the dual-motor variant, which significantly boosts off-road traction. The review notes improvements in the off-road app's functionality, including persistent camera views and an off-road cruise control (trail assist) that allows pedal input without disengaging the mode. While acknowledging the Cybertruck's impressive performance in high-speed off-roading, especially compared to the Rivian R1T, the hosts point out its considerable size as a limitation on many trails. The lack of Autopilot and a capped top speed on consumer models remain points of contention, contrasting with the enhanced off-road features that many feel should have been present at launch.
