I hope they call Matt's Off-road Recovery

This is one of the greatest vehicular failures of all time.
It couldn't have made it far in...
Edit: Cadillac Hill. Either it almost made it or it got stuck right at the start coming from the other way.
Edit Edit: Okay it appeared to had almost done the whole thing with a JL Rubicon support vehicle, 5 broken tire rods, and a replaced steering rack along the way. Not exactly a worthwhile effort but I think they knew what they were in for by bringing that many spare parts with them.
BREAKING: Musk announces Tesla to create their own trail exclusively for Cybertruck owners, called the Rubes-I-Con Trail.
The Cybertruck crew said they brought six tie rods and only had two left by the time they reached us at Arnold’s Rock. Apparently, they’d already replaced at least one steering rack as well.
You mean I can't just slap a Harbor Freight winch on this bad boy and conquer the Rubicon?
Now we can officially say our armor is Rubicon trail proven.
😅 If they say so. I think this says anything but.
Spend half that much EVing a reasonable chassis like a Jeep or Toyota, and you could drive over that silver speed bump.

I know nothing about offroading, but that doesn't sound normal.
The Rubicon isn't actually all that tough, Dirt Everyday did it in stock vehicles, a 70s Chevy squarebody truck and a 60s Jeep Cj2a. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oGGRAXhxZVA

According to the article it wasn't stock, it was kitted out for the job.
It was a promo stunt from the company that's selling the aftermarket parts for the CT - and watching their other videos, basically everything they've done to it is cosmetic. Camper bed, goofy bumpers, locking plastic wheel covers, tie rods that are a whopping 4mm thicker... and that's it. No reinforcing of basically any other components, and it really shows.
Cyberstuck lol
Waiting for the MORR video to drop where they're all gonna talk shit about how it doesnt have appropriate attachment points.
