I see what that means..cybertruck only has 16 inch clearance and has 14000 lbs towing capacity. I think I have to go see the reveal video again.
Intuitively i like the design but I also want to understand the physics of it.
- brudgers 6y agoAcademically, clearance is unrelated to frame versus unibody. In practice, body on frame facilitates lifting the body to provide additional wheel clearance and more substantial suspension modification and/or larger diameter tires. e.g. more options for lift kits. On the other hand, any vehicle with 8" or more of ground clearance qualifies as high-clearance and is reasonable for BLM, Forest Service, and Park Service roads designated "High Clearance" under ordinary conditions. Unibody allows lower floor height which is not the same as ground clearance. It's more closely tied to step-over height for entry/exit.
- jelliclesfarm 6y agoI see. Thank you. I can visualize it better now. In the case of Cybertruck..the batteries will be in the underbelly/chassis making it ‘bottom heavy’ ..would this be right?
- brudgers 6y agoI would imagine so. An electric vehicle doesn't have much relevance to where and how I travel so I don't know much about what's available.
- jelliclesfarm 6y agoThanks. Your comments were very helpful.
