THE MOST ANNOYING THING would be if the Cybertruck beeps at you for driving with the door slightly open, or the seatbelt not engaged. Sometimes you need to repeatedly get in/out of the seat, and the seatbelt is unnecessary when going around a hayfield at 2mph picking up 50-pound bales. <br />

If those settings aren&#039;t changeable, I&#039;m going to have a big problem with the CT. All modern vehicles, it seems, have those...<br />

      <content:encoded><![CDATA[When towing heavy trailers (that might weigh twice what the truck weighs), controlling the trailer brakes properly in relation to the truck braking is critical for keeping the combination stable.  For best stability, you don&#039;t want the trailer pushing the truck from behind.  If you are braking hard, and the trailer is pushing hard from behind, and hit some wet or sandy pavement, you have the perfect conditions to push the truck off the road or provoke a jack-knife.<br />

<br />
I&#039;m very interested to hear your thoughts on the <b>difference between DUAL and TRI motor</b> in snowy/icy winter conditions. <br />
<br />
I&#039;ve read other posts in this great forum that covered the RWD, but I&#039;m <b>interested in whether DUAL AWD would be any less secure in slippery conditions than TRI AWD, and then why? </b><br />

The RWD is not an option, I think, due to safety in slippery conditions. Just my feeling.<br />

I see the Cybertruck as a possible game-changer in expanding my service area...<br />

<br />
It could conceivably allow the truck to “crab“ much like the rear axle steered tiller on a ladder firetruck. This ability would be useful with parking, negotiating obstacles in close quarters, and allow more-stable emergency maneuvering, say to avoid a crash.<br />
