If you can’t safely take the Cybertruck to a car wash, I wonder how it will fare as a boat?

    things that any AWD vehicle can do.

    Not any AWD; you probably want high ground clearance too.

    I wouldn’t go fording streams in a Subaru Impreza, for instance.

      I don’t know about an Impreza, but I know my '07 Audi A6 Allroad could easily take on this level of water. I’m fairly sure that a Subaru Outback could as well, they tend to be about the same height (US spec ones are even higher I believe - I owned one, it was about 2 cm taller than any EUDM ones of the same generation I’ve seen)

        What I had in my head was something like this, a street-tuner Impreza that’s been lowered:

        The point was that just because something’s AWD doesn’t inherently mean by itself that it’s a good idea to take it off-road.

        Nah. The Impreza doesn’t even have a weird roller top for its cargo bed, let alone a fragile and poorly-designed one. No way it could break as stupidly as the Cybertruck managed.
