The Cybertruck also does the tightest turns because it has front and back wheel steering. I could imagine that to be useful on job sites.

- nearlyepic 9mo agoThe kinds of people buying cybertrucks aren't going to be caught dead on a job site.

- revnode 9mo agoThat's not true. Boss likes being flashy. You won't see them being used for actual work, but that's a different proposition.
- karlgkk 9mo agoNot really, sites are pretty much always spaced out. Ironically, it’s best for city and daily driving - it’s a pure luxury feature.
- jandrese 9mo agoIt would be amazing in the city if it weren't two lanes wide.
- olyjohn 9mo agoIts not amazing in the city. The turning radius on the cybertruck is atrocious. Go look it up and quit believing the marketing bullshit.
- scottyah 9mo agoIt's great, maybe stop looking it up and go drive one?
- olyjohn 9mo agoA Suburban without 4 wheel steering has a tighter turning radius. It's pathetic that something with 4 wheel steering can't outdo a Suburban. And why would I want to drive one? I have literally no reason to drive that waste of batteries.
- scottyah 9mo agoYou should want to drive one so you don't have such a bad world view. Where are you getting your data for the cybertruck turning radius?

- ElijahLynn 9mo agoThanks for posting that, I watched a couple minutes of it and it suggests that the cybertruck has a really good turning radius, and it was able to drive on a go-kart track.
- sejje 9mo agoIt's the same width as an F150
- 306bobby 9mo agoTbf F150s also suck in the city lol
- throwaway-11-1 9mo ago2002 GMC Sierras did this, it was called quadrasteer
- usefulcat 9mo agoAs did some models of Honda Prelude starting in '87.
- throwaway-11-1 9mo agowhoa I was not aware of this, super cool
- FireBeyond 9mo agoThere is a certain subset of Tesla owners who have this belief that features in certain Tesla vehicles are completely novel to Teslas and other auto manufacturers haven't even considered them. They can often be identified by how they refer to them as "dinosaurs". Adjustable ride height? Miraculous. Meanwhile my car is mapping the road surface, actively leaning into corners and following road camber, actively avoiding potholes, and adjusting the suspension, including ride height, constantly. Traffic Sign Recognition, including recognizing school zones, and recognizing active school zones. Adaptive blind spot - so nice. Speed differential low, or you're going faster? Will not activate, or only activate last moment. But if someone is blowing by you in the HOV lane, it will warn of them when they're still several hundred feet back. Laser headlights. Matrix headlights. Night vision with thermal imaging. Predictive active suspension - The car actively scans the road ahead with sensors and it will adjust suspension for poorer road conditions. The car can not just stop, but will actively swerve, if safe, around obstructions to avoid a collision, or even a parked car opening a door into traffic.
- olyjohn 9mo agoNo it doesn't. A regular Suburban without 4 wheel steering still has a tighter turning radius. A fucking Suburban!
- ErroneousBosh 9mo agoA full-size Ford Transit - which is much larger than a Cybertruck, and much more useful - turns in about an 11-metre kerb-to-kerb circle. That's fully a metre and a half tighter than the Cybertruck.
- AngryData 9mo agoIn my opinion it isn't useful at all because if the only thing you can get into a spot is a vehicle with 4-wheel steering, you have already fucked up your site planning. You aren't going to be delivering materials with that thing, bulk materials are too heavy and light materials are too large. Maybe tools, but it isn't that large to be a tool truck and too expensive for small handyman type work.
- ElijahLynn 9mo agoThere are many situations that are not proper job sites. All sorts of rural situations that require turning.
