Watching the CyberTruck get delivered to the Petersen Museum in LA seems to reveal this long vehicle has a terrible turning radius. 4 Wheel Steering would be a big help. Still the more pictures we see, the more stunning it is. Tesla CyberTruck Arrived The Petersen Automotive Museum
Well, the flatbed did not help by parking so close to the entrance, and all the people there as obstacles also did not help. Looks fine by me. But thanks for the link! Neat!
That truck is 20 feet long. Being that close to that entrance you would have to backup any thing longer than a model 3 to make that turn . If people think that they are going to maneuver this thing like a car then they shouldn't purchase it.
Watch the video again. They’re driving it off a ramped flatbed. No way are they going to start turning until all wheels are on the ground - at which point the front is past the building entrance. Nothing is going to make that turn without backing up.
Seems Rivian makes lots of disclaimers/warnings about doing tank turns to wit: yes you can do zero radius turns but it’s extremely hard on the system, don’t try on pavement or you’ll regret it. Adding features that are warned against using its a bad sign.
Same thing could be said for things that are common on many vehicles: part time 4wd, locking diffs, crawl control, off road turn assist,...
