BREAKING: Musk announces Tesla to create their own trail exclusively for Cybertruck owners, called the Rubes-I-Con Trail.
And it’s just a Starbucks drive through.
It’s just a section of the vegas hyperloop with outdoor scenery painted on the sides.
Well done.
Shouldn’t it have a X in there somewhere?
It’s called a highway, in a dry climate.
Slow down there Bucko that sounds like a pretty treacherous track …
Cyberstuck lol
Yes, that is the name of the community
This is my shocked Pikachu face, lol.
You pretty much need a built rig to tackle the Rubicon. The fact this guy was ignorantly arrogant enough to try to bring a stock anything on it is half of the comedy.
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.
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

Yeah they didn’t do it in a stock modern vehicle. Even though it’s named after it, I’d guess most people would break down trying it in a new stock Jeep Rubicon. Of course pro drivers can do better, I’m not even skilled but I have climbed easily up trails where the “more capable” rig in front of me had just struggled. If you don’t take any of the bypass routes, the Rubicon trail is a beast.
Rubican’t
Now we can officially say our armor is Rubicon trail proven.
😅 If they say so. I think this says anything but.
It’s definitely a rubiCON for sure.
This calls for dynamite.
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.
I know nothing about offroading, but that doesn’t sound normal.
Multiple Jeeps have completed it without breaking or catching fire so that should say something about it …
Waiting for the MORR video to drop where they’re all gonna talk shit about how it doesnt have appropriate attachment points.
Aahhahahahahahahah
Why do people litter like that? They just drop their trash everywhere.
Is it still the best truck you ever owned there bud?

You mean I can’t just slap a Harbor Freight winch on this bad boy and conquer the Rubicon?
Spend half that much EVing a reasonable chassis like a Jeep or Toyota, and you could drive over that silver speed bump.
