Tesla snowcat?

The crazy thing is how much money they will make just promoting that thing on social media. I'm sure I saw the hellcat jeep a few times on tiktok and insta. It's all about the views these days.

Yeah, they work quite well in deep powder, especially with a 800+ hp Hellcat
Obviously weight is a big concern, a Cybertruck weighs about 2,000lbs more than a Gladiator out of the gate, also it has IFS front and rear, which I could see as a huge weakpoint. Soild axles at the end of the day will always be more reliable with larger wheels/tracks at the end of them.
I'm sure they'll get some cool youtube clips out of it, maybe shred an A-arm in the process, then take them off and move on.
I think you nailed it better than you realized. Should be a public link even if you don't have Facebook.Yeah, they work quite well in deep powder, especially with a 800+ hp Hellcat

This is what R&D looks like. I knew we were going to have quite a few battles bolting these tracks onto the cybertruck, especially since we had to use a pretty big spacer to offset the tracks outside...

Bawhahahah.... that A-arm folded like a pretzel. The steel in that material looks like sheet metal too. Even if they fabricate a custom beefy A-arm, I'd worry about the bushings on the frame getting destroyed, which I would love to watch happen!I think you nailed it better than you realized.

Saw them hyping it on Instagram this morning. Teasing a youtube video soon.

"we'll disable the rear steer while using the tracks"
Looks like my 70rd old Tucker still has got the edge over the Tesla

At least there's videos of it moving in the snow under it's own power unlike most Kristi snowcats.
(Sorry....had to get a jab in for old times sake)

The old rivalry between SnowTrac and Kristi has been resurrected from the grave! Truth be told, my love and loyalty may be to SnowTrac but if I stumbled over an unrestored Kristi anywhere near me I'd probably buy it.

It sounds like it's a real snowcat;

How many OEM's would not only approve of modifying their vehicle but actually get involved in helping out?
Tesla is not just a car maker, but a tech company with a very different mindset than car makers have.

How much is this costing them? Choppers aren't cheap. Lmao
If you haven't watched all his movies, that guy has more toys than anybody I know or have seen. They definitely didn't need a chopper. Lol he just likes showing off all his toys. With as many subscribers as he has, he's probably making enough in each video to pay for a cyber truck. These influencers make movies about anything. Look at whistlindiesel they do all kinds of stupid crap to make money.How much is this costing them? Choppers aren't cheap. Lmao
I have a friend who bought a cybertruck. Its a computer with electric traction motors. I realize this thread is months old. But the content created and shared is the point. Im sure the trucks were provided free to use abuse ect. The new world is driven by impression points. You are not getting a better bang for your buck.
