Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ:TSLA) is gearing up to enhance its Cybertruck with a range of new off-roading features, as disclosed in a video released over the weekend.
What Happened: As reported by Teslarati on Sunday, the forthcoming off-roading tools for Tesla's Cybertruck were displayed in a video shared by Top Gear.
The video highlights the new features, including extra off-roading modes, access to pitch and angle settings, and front and rear locking differential access.
The video, shot in Johnson Valley, California, showcases a Cybertruck and a Rivian R1T testing the Tesla pickup's off-roading capabilities. The electric trucks are seen performing four off-roading tests: a rock crawl, a "whoops" test, a jump, and a sand dune crawl, with the Cybertruck employing some of the new features.
The new off-roading features consist of four dedicated terrain modes: all-purpose, rock, gravel/deep snow, and sand. The software also allows drivers to switch between turning the locking differentials all on, only the rear on, or all off.
While the release date for the new off-roading features remains uncertain, Tesla Cybertruck engineer Wes Morrill hinted that the upcoming release might include more than what the video reveals. Detailed release notes for the update will be made public soon, Morrill added.
there is so much more packed into this release. We will post some detailed release notes in a bit. I'll do my best to answer some questions on there too

Why It Matters: This update comes in the wake of a series of events that have highlighted the Cybertruck's off-roading prowess.
In March 2024, a video showed the Cybertruck skillfully navigating the challenging Hell's Revenge trail in Moab, Utah.
Before that, in November 2023, Tesla CEO Elon Musk described the Cybertruck as "alien technology" when responding to a video comparing its offroad performance with Ford's F-150 Lightning. Around the same time, another video demonstrated a Tesla car outpacing two Jeeps in a sand dune climb.
正如周末发布的视频所披露的那样,特斯拉公司(纳斯达克股票代码:TSLA)正准备通过一系列新的越野功能来增强其Cybertruck。
发生了什么:正如特斯拉拉蒂周日报道的那样,Top Gear分享的视频中展示了特斯拉Cybertruck即将推出的越野工具。
该视频重点介绍了新功能,包括额外的越野模式、对俯仰和角度设置的访问以及前后锁差速门禁。
该视频在加利福尼亚州约翰逊谷拍摄,展示了一辆Cybertruck和一辆Rivian R1T测试特斯拉皮卡的越野能力。电动卡车正在进行四次越野测试:岩石爬行、“呐喊” 测试、跳跃和沙丘爬行,Cybertruck采用了一些新功能。
新的越野功能包括四种专用地形模式:多用途、岩石、碎石/深雪和沙地。该软件还允许驾驶员在全部打开、仅打开后部差速器或全部关闭之间切换。
尽管新越野功能的发布日期仍不确定,但特斯拉Cybertruck工程师韦斯·莫里尔暗示,即将发布的版本可能比视频所显示的内容还要多。莫里尔补充说,该更新的详细发布说明将很快公布。
此版本中还有更多内容。稍后我们将发布一些详细的发行说明。我也会尽力在那里回答一些问题

为何重要:此次更新是在一系列事件之后发布的,这些事件凸显了Cybertruck的越野能力。
2024 年 3 月,一段视频显示,Cybertruck 巧妙地在犹他州摩押的充满挑战的地狱复仇之路上行驶。
在此之前,在2023年11月,特斯拉首席执行官埃隆·马斯克在回应一段将Cybertruck的越野性能与福特的 F-150 Lightning进行比较的视频时将其描述为 “外星技术”。大约在同一时间,另一段视频显示,一辆特斯拉汽车在沙丘攀登中超越了两辆吉普车。
