New videos of Tesla Cybertruck off-roading appear to show it struggling to climb up a steep dirt hill::One video showed a 1946 Jeep CJ-2A successfully navigating the same hill that the Cybertruck struggled to summit.

    The torque issue would be really easy to fix. The beauty of EVs is everything is computer controlled, so it’d be as simple as programming in a “low” mode by making the motors deliver power/torque on a much more gradual curve relative to pedal input (emulating a traditional gearboxes low range gears). The weight might be less of an issue at that point, although it’s still going to be a problem no matter how you slice it

      Yes lower RPM of the tires and some sort of electronic locker front and rear would probably make this perform much better.
