Tesla Cybertruck doesn’t have an “anti-advisory” mode and that seems to be missing

The Tesla Cybertruck was presented as a full-featured “apocalypse-proof” pickup truck, as Americans like to call it. However, strictly speaking, it has problems like other electric vehicles. Therefore, this vehicle needs, like the others, a driver who is not “an asshole”. And, it seems, there are many owners of this pick-up!

Tesla's Cybertruck didn't have the debut that Elon Musk said it would. Since its launch in November, the vehicle, which costs around 60,000 dollars (55 thousand euros), has repeatedly been in the news for problems. There are inexplicable warnings of “critical steering error”, the vehicle gets stuck on rough terrain, it has already received recalls widespread, problems with rust... all of this leaves the “apocalypse-proof” giant too fragile.

If you ever have an argument with another car, you will win.

The apocalypse could strike at any time, and here at Tesla, we have the best technology for the apocalypse.

Elon Musk promised at the pick-up's launch event last year.

Owning a Cybertruck is not for everyone

Even if all this is true, there is the other part: the driver. An example that had some echo in the American press was what happened on May 2nd to a tourist in Nantucket. This jammed his Cybertruck, got stuck in the sand, requiring a tow to free it. After all... the pick-up wasn't what he was “told it was”.

According to the tow truck operator, the driver made a crucial mistake: he forgot to deflate the tires.

Typically, Cybertruck tires are loaded to around 50 psi. However, in the Cybertruck owner's manual, Tesla warns drivers to lower their tire pressure before going off-road, to increase traction and reduce the risk of punctures. The tow operator said the safe point for beach driving is between 18 and 22 psi.

Unfortunately, they didn't do it or didn't know how to do it. So that put them at a disadvantage from the start.

Said the tow operator, who requested anonymity.

The operator said the Most towing jobs with this vehicle are the result of inexperienceadding that he is often called upon in the summer months to help tourists who have misjudged the softness of the sand near the coast or who are completely unaware of the impact of tire pressure on a vehicle's off-road capabilities.

What happened to the Cybertruck, the operator said, could have happened to any other pickup truck driver. However, he mentioned that the extra weight of the Cybertruck – around 454 kg heavier than comparable fuel-powered pickups - Did not help.

There has always been a question about how overweight electric vehicles would behave when driving on the beach. They use the same size tires as a normal F-150 or, whatever you want, a normal pickup truck, but they weigh more.

The trailer operator mentioned it.

The all-electric pickup truck ended up being released, but not before attracting a crowd of onlookers from the small island community.

The tow operator said he was “not that” surprised by the phone call, given the buzz surrounding the arrival of the first Cybertruck on the island. The incident went viral on social media, being just the latest driving error involving a Cybertruck.
